All Doctrinal Troubles TO
an End.
BRoTHERLY LOVE is URGED
John L. Withrow of Chicago Elected
Moderator and Presented With
a Historic Gavel.

SARATOGA, n. Y, May 21.-The one

the Presbyterian Church in the United
States of America opened its sessions here
to-day in the First Presbyterian Church
with the usual sermon from the retiring
moderator Nearly 700 commissioners.
half ministers and half elders, occupied
seats on the floor of the auditorium, and
as many more ladies and visitors were
crowded upon the floor of the auditorium.
The service, according to the book of dis
cipline of the Presbyterian Church, began
promptly at IL o'clock.
DR.. Booths sermon occupied more than
an hour IN the delivery. DR.. Booth up
held in eloquent words the theological
system of the church, the much-abused
Westminster confession. He also extolled
the system of government of the Presby-
terrain church and its methods of evan
gelization.
DR.. Booth proposed method of bring
ing the doctrinal troubles of the church
to an end. He pleaded for arbitration, for
brotherly confidence, for mutual conces-
sions, for an amicable adjustment of diff
cuIties whereby the contentious in the
church over doctrines, over Biblical inter-
probation and over theological standards
might be settled.
Promptly at o'clock the General As
sembly was formally constituted by States
Clerk Roberts, Moderator Booth being in
the chair, and the business of the sessions
began.
The first attention was given to the elec-
ton of moderator, and nominations for
that Office were declared to be in order.
Rev. DIR. Thomas H. Clelland of Duluth
presented the name OF Francis G. Monfort
of Cincinnati.
Rev. DR.. William II. Hubbard of Au-
burn, N. Y, nominated David r. Breed
of Pittsburg.
Rev. John r. Davies of New York placed
in nomination the name of John L. With
row of Chicago.
The nominations were then declared
closed. The vote for moderator was as
follows: Monfort 81, Breed 1872. Withrow
315.
After the customary exchange of greet
ings the new moderator called for the re-
port of the local committee of arrange
ments.
A gavel made of wood taken from the
field of Burgoyne's surrender was pre-
sented to the moderator as coming from
the local chapter of the Daughters of the
American Revolution. A customary tenn
porary organization was then perfected
and the assembly adjourned.
Tonight the sacrament of the Lords
Supper was administered in the church to
all commissioners.

INTERsTATE COMMERCE LAWS.
Protest against Il Proposed Change 6p
amending q Section.


amending q Section.
WASHINGTON, D. c., May 21-The
Vice-President this afternoon laid before
the Senate the resolutions of the eighth
annual convention of Railroad Commits
sioners. held in this city May 10 and 20.
The Commissioners protest against the
change proposed to be made in the inter-
state commerce act by amending section
10 so as to eliminate imprisonment and
provide punishment by fine only, as pro-
vided in bill now pending IN Congress.
This section has only been given force and
effect within a recent period by Supreme
Court decision, and the resolution asserts
that it is better to give it fair trial be-
fore changing its provisions.
Discrimination in rates is, the memorial
asserts, crime for which the railroad Off
cial and shipper should receive the sever
est punishment known to the law. 1t is
the opinion of the memorialists that if
experience shows the law as now framed
to be ineffective and imperative, greater
and severer penalties should attach to its
violation. Fer this reason the memorial
lists state that they are opposed to any
amendments to the interstate commerce
law until 1t be so amended as whole that
under the light of the recent decisions the
rights and interests of the people in gen.
eraI are properly safeguarded under it,
the duties and responsibilities of the car
rier5 are carefully fixed and defined in it,
and the power and authority of the Inter-
state Commerce Commission are properly
established by it.

MEETING OF BAPTIsTs.
Bustness Before the Publishing and

Bustness Before the Publishing aud
american Historical Societies.
ASBURY PARK, n. j., May PA
steady rain this morning did not dampen
the ardor Of the Baptists who are here, to
the mum Der OF 1000 or more, and the audi
forum was comfortably filled when Presi-
dent Crozier called the assembly of the
Baptist Publication Society to order. Pro-
fessor II. G. Vedder of Pennsylvania,
chairman of the committee on publishing
department, made the opening address,
and read the report of his committee He
was followed by the Rev. w. H. Geist-
welt of Minnesota, who reported for the
committee on missionary department.
Ex-senator Doolittle of Wisconsin urged
the publication of work on the United
States of America in the light of prophecy
as well as history. The Senator's PROPOSE
ton aroused opposition and was voted
down.
George f. Stevens OF Cincinnati said that
large proportion of the receipts of the
publication society was from sales of pub
LEGATIONS from other houses. This caused
breeze and was denied from the plat
form. Mr.. Stevens went on to say that
the 800, 600 Baptists of the North buy few
of the books published by the society and
read less.
H. s. Hopper reported for the finance
committee that fully 100000 will be
needed in order to carry on the work as
planned for coming year.
The financial report showed that the
total sales of the book department for the
year ending March l, were sos, 500, and the
total receipts from all sources, $579, sol. The
balance in the treasury was $5701. The
total assets are given as $i,O23, l91; liza
biiities. s5s. 1856; net assets, 1864, 1886.
At A o'clock the Publication Society gave
way to the American Historical Society.
DR.. Lemuel Moss of New Jersey presided.

As TO THE NORTHERN PACIFIC,
Proposed Changes in the Bill to Faciti-
tate Reor0

WASHINGTON, D. c., May 21.-The
subcommittee of the House Judiciary
Committee, to which was referred the
Hartman joint resolution to facilitate the
reorganization of the Northern Pacific
Company. will probably complete their
discussion of the measure at to-morrow's
meeting. The sentiment developed at to-
days meeting was unfavorable to the pro-
visions which exempt from sale mineral
and timber lands. The committee feels
that the company may properly retain
any coal mines now in operation by it
where the output is used by the corpora
exemption further. If the debate today
be taken as an indication of the commit
tees temper this change will be made in
the resolution when it is reported to the
full committee, as will probably be the
this the other changes, it is thought, viii
not be material.
