whether the house would have to
remain in session indefinitely. The
speaker said that it was the business
of the sergeant-at-arms to look after
the matter. Ae time was flying,
however, Mr. Cooper watched the
clock and continued to keep
the floor, while all kinds of
wrangling went on. Every now
and then, when things got quiet
a little, Mr. Cooper would talk about
the advisability of rejecting the reso.
luton as it read, and suggestions for
other hours were made In this way
he kept the floor till the clock pointed
to the hour for recess. and, the house
was forced to recede from business,
leaving the resolution hanging in
mid air.
During the day the house had an
interesting fight over the bill to pro-
vide for the weighing of coal sold
by dealers on city scales, amending
it and then passing it, The greater
portion of the remainder of the day
was consumed with the further dis.
cussion of the bill defining the gen.

Special to The State.

o'clock while Dispensary Constabies

party of unknown men and fired
upon About 20 shots were fired in
rapid succession.
Both constables fell, and they are

in the left hand, taking off one
finger and lodging in the wrist, also
through the left arm. Another ball

variety of pistol balls in the left
wrist. He is thought to be mortaIly

they were outnumbered, and they
made every effort to get to the Jail.
Both constables say they recog.
nized the men who fired upon them.
DR.. j. w. Bell was called at once,

perity of the Club -

+ The Press Club is preparing to give a
unique midsummer jinks in its handsome
rooms in the Thurlow block, on the even
ing of June 6. At the last meeting of the
board the date was set.
Superior Judge John Hunt, who for the
place is probably unsurpassed on the coast,
and who for his dry humor and rare
talents otherwise is widely known, is to
sire the jinks. He is acting in connection
with the entertainment committee, and is
.en1isting much of the best talent of the
club. 1t is believed that it will be by all
odds the best jinks yet given.
The club has had signally prosperous
career during the past few months. Dur
ing the present administration seventy
five additional members have been ad-
mitted, and others are asking for men,
bership. The new members are profess
sional men of high standing, and they as
well as the old mem befs are taking great
interest in the institution.
Its finances have: been put on an abso-
lutely sound basis. Its bills are paid with
promptness as they are agreed upon, and
its credit is as good as that of bank.
The library facilities have been doubled
an new books are being constantly added.
Several new and valuable pictures have
also been recently secured.
Mrs. K. S. Hart, mother Of the late Will
liam n. Hart, has presented to the club
about fifty. volumes formerly belonging to
that well-known newspaper man. Also a
large collection of Samoan relics, including
warclubs, eymbals, a large volume OF photo
graphs: :of the wrecked V andafia, Trenton

| time OF the Samoan war, when ne was
| there as special correspondents, and at
this date, and because of this association
are of great value. There are other things
in the collection, and all are highly priced.
More room is beginning to be needed by
the club but as the management believes
it best TO progress solidly and safely, no
immediate effort will be made to get other

partial way the prosperity of the organiza-

The General Conference is the law-mak-
ing body of the church. The only restric-
tions placed upon it are known as the
six restrictive rules" These relate to
the articles of religion or the creed of the
church, the Episcopal form. of church
government, the right of a minister OF
member to trial and appeal, and the
alienation of the proceeds of the publish.
ing houses from the support of the super.
annuated ministers.
These six restrictive rules may be
changed by vote OF three-fourths of the
ministers in the annual conferences and: q
vote of two-tbirds majority in the General
Conference" These restrictive rules have
been in effect the constitutionalla law of the
church. Aside from these safeguards, the
General Conference can do as it pleases by
a majority vote. Inthe General Assem- bly,
of the Presbyterian church its legal enact
ments must be. approved by the presby-
terles before they become law. In the
Congressional and. Baptist associations
the deliyerances are not binding on the in

'mendations. -: .s..'. - -. -. -

thing which makes the General Conference
specially exciting is the elections.
Its patronage is very large. 1t elects

benevolent societies, editors of all the Ad.

| There are several questions to come be

meets in Cleveland May 1, and will proba

have been put off by compromises anc
temporary devices from time TO time, bu

The first of these is known in church
parlance as the Woman Question" Ii
