The dates in the spring when chilling
frost may happen in this climate range
from April to May ~. record of
twenty two years, taken by Thomas j.
Beans, M Moorestown, and used by the
State Geological Survey, shows that dur
ing the period named there was frost six
years during May, the latest dates being
May 10, 1866, and May Ia, 1867. Frost also
occurred on May 10, 1882. Under the
influence of the recent warm weather,
vegetation is so far advanced that the
occurrence of frost would be very damag-
ing, and apprehensions will be felt until
the month Of May is well advanced, as
the present year has been one of remark
able chronological changes.

TODAY'S PROCEEDINGS

The troubles which have arisen lately in
the First Presbyterian Church, especially
since Rev. DIR. Talmage called as CO.
pastor of the church, were brought to a
head this morning al a meeting of the pres
bytery of the city of Washington. The
meeting was held to consider the complaint
that Rev. Mr. Adolos Allen was being ousted
from his share of work and dignity in the
church. Mr.. Allen was co-pastor with Dr..
Sunderland before DR.. Talmage came to
Washington.
The meeting was held in the Sunday school
room of the Fourth Presbyterian Church, on
9th street. Neither DR.. Talnage nor Or.
Sunderland was present The meeting last
ed more than three hours and was very
lively one. Enough developed to show tha t
it is not always easy for three ministers
co-equal in influence and dignity to live in
peace and harmony.
All that was actually accomplished d the
meeting was the adoption of resolution
providing for a committee to confer wit I
the First Presbyterian Church and to report
at future meeting of the presbytery.
The meeting of the presbytery was called
to order promptly at 10 o'clock by Rev.
Mr.. Adolos Allen, the regular moderator of

The Case Stated.

Mr.. Allen read q formal paper to the
meeting, which he began by expressing his
regret at the necessity Which had arisen
for calling TIE presbytery together at such
a busy period of the church year. the
matters to be cor s:dered, however, We're 50
important that action upon them could not
properly be longer delayed. The paper was
lorg and carefully prepared statement, in
which he v cnt in detail into the whole his
tory of his correction with the First Pres
byterian Church, beginning in May, 1894
and also the history of DIR. Talmages con-
nection with TIE church. He also gave his
version of the various matters which led
up to the present troubles in the church
matters which have heretofore been gone
ir to at length in the columns of The Star
In the arrangement between them when
DIR. Talmage came he was to take the
evening services, while DR.. Sunderland and
MIR. Allen We're to alternate at the morning
services. The division of work between the
latter two was to remain before
Early in December, continued Mr. Allen he
called by request at the office of the pres-
dent of the board of trustees. r. W. TYLER
and Il conversation enSued in which Mr.
Tyler gave him to understand that the
church would not continue to pay three
salaries, that it would not let DR.. Sunderland
go, and that it would not let DIR. Talmage
go. Mr.. Allen called his attention to the
fact that the board of trustees could not
break the contract between the church and
its pastor even if it We're backed up by a
Evening star. [volume] (Washington, D.C.) 1854-1972, 1896-01-13

resolution Of the congregation. By the
terms of the contract between them ne
was engaged as a co-pastor of the church
until October, 1896
Mr.. Allen then read a letter from the
board of trustees, addressed to himself, in
which the suggestion was made that he
tender his resignation, and the promise
was given that ne would receive the sum
of 81 900 upon the acceptance of his res G.
nation. The letter was signed by three
members of the board, and the first furry
of the meeting was started when Mr.. Al
len stated that unless they We're called for
he would not read the names Of the SignerS
of the paper.
What are we here for?" asked Rev. DR..
Ramsdell, eff it is not to find out all the
facts in this matter. 1 think We have a
perfect right to all the names
Elder Knight of the First Church pro-
tested against this, saying that inasmuch as
the board had authorized their committee to
forward the letter, it would be indulging in
personalities to single out these three names
from the balance of the board. 1t was finally
decided that as the matter was in the hands
of Mr.. Allen, he should he allowed to use his
own discretion as to whether not the
names be read. Mr.. Allen said that he did
not think any good purpose could be SUBJ
served by making the names known, and
he must, therefore, decline to do SO.
The Letter to DR.. Taln,age.
Continuing, Mr.. Allen referred to the let
ter which had been sent to DR.. Talmag ge
stating that it was the desire of the congre-
CATION that he should take charge of the
morning as we'll as the evening services on
Sunday. The request was indorsed by DR..
Sunderland, and was presented to Mr.. Allen
for his Endorsement before il vas sent to Dr.
Talmage. The letter was signed by num-
her of the elders and members of the board
in their individual capacity. He refused to
sign the paper. which he held to be in direct
violation of the action Of the session of the

NAVAL ENLISTED FORCE
Secretary Herbert's Letter as to Their
Birth and Citizenship.
Steady Increase i'm the Number of
Amerfcan-DOrn and Improve
ment as to Citizens.

Secretary Herbert has addressed a letter
TO Representative Curtis of New York in
response to his letter in regard to the na-
tivity and citizenship of the enlisted force
of the navy in 1890. 1924 and lS.iJ The
Secretary submits tables showing the per-
centage of enlisted men in 1895, as follows
Citizens of the United States, 90; natural
lied citizens, 20; declared intention to be-
come citizens, u; intentions not declared
to become citizens, 10; residents of the
United States, 81; non-residents of the
United States, 8; American born, Is: for
eign born, 81.
Increase of American horn.
The proportion of American-born citizens
has SHOWN a steady increase since 1880
when the percentage of such was A. as
against percentage of % OF foreign born
Among the apprentices the percentage Of
American born is 81, as against a percent
age Of 10 foreign born. The records of the
navy do not afford information regarding
citizenship prior to June 30. 1880.
''The act making appropriations for the
naval service for the fiscal year ending
June 80, 1885, the Secretary says, pro
vides for the naturalization of enlisted men,
and which, however, might be enlarged in
a manner hereinafter suggested.
1T is believed that it would not he ad-
visable at this time to limit admission to
but 1t is respectfully suggested that Sle
law should require that no alien who has
served one term of enlistment should he al
lowed to re-enlist unless he has in the in
terim, or at the time of his second enlist
ment, made a declaration of his intentions
to become citizen of the United States.
This declaration the commanding officer
might be empowered to receive and to
transmit to the United States district court
of tine district where the man was enlisted,
and, of course, advising the department of
his actions in the premises
Improvement as to Citizens.
There has been a very great improve
meift in the service in the matter of the
percentage of those who are citizens as
against those who are not. In the enlist
ment of apprentices this feature is most
marked, as they are almost entirely Ameri-
can citizens by birth.
so far as the marine corps is concern
ed, there is no objection to making il reQui-
site that those applying for enlistment
shall either be citizens or have declared
their intention of becoming such. 1t is, of
course apparent that it is much easier to
secure men for the marine corps who are
citizens than to get seamen.
1.-The department is in hearty sympathy
with all movements which tend to have the
ships manned entirely with American cti-
zens, and is gratified at the progress al
ready made to that end"

The following statement has been sent to
the New York World by Cecil j. Hhodes:
CAPE TOWN, January II, 1896.
The position is that within the Transvaal
there are 10000 newcomers and an old
population of 1900. With the develop
ment of the gold industry to fuller extent
the newcomers will amount to 100000 in
five wears; eventually to half a million,
probably more.
From time to time the position will be
upset by the attempts of the new popula-
ton to claim common civil rights, which
eventually they certainly must get States
manSnip should give them some rights now,
as the present state is impossible for the
newcomers, who own more than half the
soil of the Transvaal, and nine-tenths of
the wealth of the country.
The new males outnumber the old five to
one and are composed largely of Ameri-
cans, including the principal mine man
ayers.
England is the only great power in South
Africa. She is now threatened with Ger
man Interference, which she Is bound to
resent and resist. In this she should have
Americas sympathy. Blood is thicker than
water. Americans above all nations insist

ayers are Americans. And yet we have the
spectacle of the two great English-Speak-
ing nations of the world almost on the
verge OF war about some barren land in
south America, whereas working in perfect t
harmony the peace of the world would be
assured. c. J. RHODES.
