TWO-THIRDS RULE.
Harrity Thinks 1t Should Prevail at
the Chicago Convention,

PHILADELPHIA, May 27.-There
seems to be a general belief here in po-
litical circles that delegates to the DEM
ocratic Convention will try to set aside
the two-thirds rule in the convention.
Chairman Harrity on the eve of his
departure to Washington wrote out
this statement: I'm my judgment tenn
porary conditions will not justify the
abrogation of any well-established rule
that has been found to work satisfac-
torily in the past. The two-thirds rule
as applied to candidates, ought in my
opinion, to be continued. 1t has usu-
ally been the case that candidates who
obtained the support of the majority of
the delegates to the Democratic Ma
tional Convention are able to command
the other votes necessary to give them
the required number under the two
thirds rule. w. F. HARRITY,
Chairman Democratic National Com
mittee."

General Presbyterian Assembly this
morning Professor Burdick of Columbia
College was nominated by the Commit
tee on Foreign Missions to fill the va

to-day at the opening session of the
General Assembly Ii embodies the new
correspondence of the committee with

mendations the committee proposed the
following resolution regarding the con-
dition of Americans in Turkey:
Whereas, The General Assembly Is
advised that under the provisions of
existing treaties American clergymen
and teachers have right to exercise
their professions while residents of Tur-
key, and
Whereas, The assembly is further
advised that American citizens now un-
der appointment as missionaries in Tur-
key have been and are now menaced as
tc their lives and their property rights.
despite representations heretofore
made; therefore
Resolved, That the General Assem-
bly,, through its officers, respectfully re-
quests the national Administration to
examine into the facts of the alleged
situation of affairs in Turkey, and in
case the said averments of danger are
well founded, to make such official rep
reservations to the Turkish Government
OF take such other appropriate action
as shall secure protection to American
citizens now resident in the Turkish
empire
The resolution was adopted.
