The Dismissal OF Rev. Mr.. Cleveland.
WATERFOWL. N. T.. April 31-The state
ments Of Rev. W. n. Cleveland regarding
his trouble at Chaumont have called
forth . statement from the st. Lawrence
presbytery In defense Of Its action In dis
missing him from his pastorate. 1t says:
The church 1t Chaumont was rent in
pieces. and various reasons were assigned
by the congregation for the lack Of har-
mony. and counter reasons assigned by
Mr.. Cleveland. So far - the presbytery
was concerned, by means 1t . committee
It sought to investigate charges made by
Mr.. Cleveland and the counter charges
made by the larger majority Of his church.
They did not md that there was any great
or sufiicient reason why the church in it,
majority should dislike Mr.. Cleveland. nor
did they find that Mr.. cleveland's charges
were substantiated. The preebytery ala
what It could to reconcile differences, but
the parties proved irreconcilahle It is to
certain extent q necessary piece of
church policy that q minister must sue
coed in preserving unity in his congre-
cation. In this particular case, inasmuch
as the presidents brother was involved. II
became matter Of national notoriety.
In most such cases It IL not observed. hut
certainly common sense justifies the action
which the presbytery took"

ANOTHER BLOODY CHAPTER.
Turkish Soldiers Massacre Christians in
the Island of Crete.

London, May 25.-Thc Times has a dis
patch from Athens which says:
The long. expected disaster in the isl
and of Crete seems suddenly to have
been prccipitatcd ana since Sunday
anarchy has rcigncd in Cnncau. The
Turkish soldiers, breaking all restraint,
poured through the streets. shooting.
massacring aud pillaging The consuls
have all telcgraphed for warships. The
British fleet at Malta sailed today for
Crete. Her majesty'S ship Hook. am
chorcd ut Phalarum. starts thithcr to-
night. The Greek ironclads will possibly
start tomorrow.
The cayasses at the Greek and Rus
sian consulates ut Canea have been
killed. Turkhan Pasha is utterly power
less to restrain the soldiers. as he is on
bad terms with the military governor,
who is suspected of being at the bottom
of the whole trouble. The immediate
cause of the outbreak, however, is in
explicable, as the Christians there have
never given provocation. The situation
at Refine is equally serious. Herklaion
is quiet, but sharp fighting is reported
between the Turks and the Cretans in
the vicinity of Names.

HOUSE PROCEEDINGS.

Washington. May 2J.-NIr. Rem
HOp) of Nebraska. resumed his Obstruc-
tive policy at the opening session of the
house today, entering objections
wherever possible.
Mr.. Babcock of Wisconsin promptly
claimed the day for District of Columbia
business When it was concluded. ON
motion of Mr.. Evans CRcpJ of Ken
lucky, the house went into committee of
the whole to consider the bill to repeal
the free alcohol clause of the tariff law.
Mr.. Evans. in charge of the bill. open
ed debate in support of the measure, cN-
planning the necessity for the legislation.
He said the bill would not affect the
claims now pending, amounting to SD
100000
Mr.. Evans offered an amendment TO
the bill which had been agreed upon as n
compromise by some of the friends and
opponents of the measure. II provided
for Il joint committee OF three members
from each house to consider all questions
relation to the free use of alcohol in the
arts, and to report their conclusions to
congress in December.
Mr.. Russell Rcp) of Connecticut. in
charge of the opposition TO the bill, said
he conceived il to be the policy of the
Republican party to care for and foster
the manufacturing industries of the
country, and so concciying he believed it
should give manufacturers free alcohol
for use in the arts. Indeed, he said, the
platform of 1892. brought in by Mai
Mckinley (applausc), contained dec
laration for free alcohol.
GLOW do YOU account for the fact in
tcrruptcd Mr.. McMilln Dcm) Of Ten
ncscc that Maj. Mckinley, while chair
man of the committee on ways and
means made no provision for free al
cohol?"
Mr.. Russell. in reply, said the Me
Knlcy tariff reduced the tariff on alco-
hol 81 IL per cent and at the same time
increased the duty on goods on which
alcohol is used.
Give us the Mckinley law as sub
stitutc and we will forcgo the demand
for free alcohol" he said.
Mr.. Hit spoke in opposition to the bill.
He said there were three advocates of
the rcpcal-thc whisky trust, for profit;
the wool and alcohol trust, for the same
reason. and the Democratic party, be-
cause it believed in large revenue taxes
and low custom duties.
At , y. IN. the committee rose.
Mr.. Strobe of Nebraska, presented the
majority report in the contested election
case of Martin VS.. Lockhart. from the
Sixth North Carolina district. and at
5;l5 the house adjourned.
