| Fighting churches are a laughing stock.
| Cancellation and mutual consideration
| Is Indispensable to the healthy growth
| and progress comes with peace.
The mOderator'S sermon has been the
| subject of general conversation ever
| since 1t was delivered, the liberal and
| the moderate classes applauding its
| spirit.
Tomorrow will be busy day in the
assembly.
The further consideration of the re-
port on young people is in order for the
morning, and the floor has been ac-
corded to Rev. c. S. Lane of Mt. ver-
non, N. Y, who will move to strike out
the remainder of the resolution and to
discharge the committee. 1t Is threat
ened by the more active supporters of
the Christian Endeavor movement that
they will move to reconsider what has
already been done and to throw the
whole matter overheard. The report of
the committee appointed to confer with
the seminaries in order to bring them
into closer relation with the assembly
VIII be presented tomorrow. It Is un-
derstood there will be minority con-
tanning some very drastic features
some question has been raised as to the
next place of meeting. An invitation
mas been received from Petoskey. Mich,
but 1T Is said it is not likely to be seri-
ously considered. The most promising
proposition comes from San Francisco.
Favorable action is said to depend up-
on the disposition of the churches there
and their readiness to guarantee a part
OF the expenses of the meeting of the
assembly so far.
PLATT'S PROPHECY.
NEW YORK. May 24.-Ex- Senator
Platt gave out statement tonight in
part as follOWs:
'fvThQ
may confidently rely upon their views
De1ng expressed at st. Louis both as t.
the maintenance Of the gold STANDARD
ana as to the nomination OF a candidate
VINO can appropriately stand on a gold
platform. New York will present such
candidate and the vote of this stat,
VIII be cast almost unanimously
Il observe Senator Miller in a recent
interview says l have no commission
to speak for our delegation on thar
point. 1t is small matter whether 7
have or not. The important thing is the
fact. He, for instance, having been
elected delegate at Gov. Morton's re-
quest, having attended the conference
at which 1t was resolved to place Morton
in the field, having been the first man
there to advocate that action and the
hrst man to proclaim to the world by a
formal interview when the conference
adjourned, he, of course, will be the gov
ernor's staunchest supporter in the con-
vention. He says l must not speak for
him, but I can certainly recall his re-
cord In the matter and can at least ex-
press enough confidence In his charac-
ter as a man to say that he will keep
faith with himself and make good his
promises.
What is true of Mr. Miller in this re-
spect Is similarly true of the other dele
gates, whether they represent districts
or the state at large"
A STRANGE ALLIANCE.
SALT LAKE, Utah, May 24-Father
T. H. Malone of Denver lectured before
an immense audience tonight at the
Grand opera house. His subject Modern
Inf1dels VS.. Ingersoll, was followed most
attentively by his hearers, and the event
was unique as the lecturer was intro
duced b President George Q. Cannon
of the M ormOn church, who, with Bishop
Scanlon, Roman Catholic. occupied a
prominent place on the stage, while
grouped In the boxes and parquette were
seen all the prominent Catholic and
Protestant ministers Of the city.
Father Malone is master Of the Eng
lish language and we'll up in the subject
which he undertook to debate. Ingersoll
was handled in refined yet thorough
language. At the close of the lecture,
many ascended to the stage to offer
their congratulations to the reverend
speaker, who leaves tomorrow for a
ACSluAS tOuI OL LHc northwest, taxing IN
Butte. Anaconda. Helena, Spokane and
Portland.
INDEPENDENT CATHOLICS
BUFFALO,, N. Y, May 24.-Arch-
oishop Joseph r. Villiatt Of Green Bay.
WIS, today consecrated the Independ-
ent Catholic church of Buffalo. There
was large crowd present, the great
majority of them being Poles. The In
dependent Catholic church was started
in Detroit nine years ago. Churches in
Cleveland and Chicago came later and
Buffalo has now followed suit. There
are at present twenty three parishes,
with Archbishop Villiatt at the head.
He was formerly an archbishop in the
Roman Catholic church. The only diff
ference between the Roman Catholic
church and the independent bra 7ches is
that the deeds of the property are held
IN the name of the congregation and
that the priest is given a salary The
trustees transact the financial part of
the business. There is no difference as
far as belief is concerned.
