mined on Today.
Charlotte. n c. May 24-The Pres
byterian Assembly reconvened this
morning at 9:30 o'clock after
the delightful rest from labor
which the Sabbath brought. The
most interesting discussion of the day
was in reference to the answer returned
by the committee on Overtures and Bills
to Lafayatte Presbyterian Church in re-
gard TO the request that the terms of the
stated and permanent clerks be fixed at
four years. The present clerks are Drs.
Farris and Wilson. who have held the DO
sitions for years. Mr.. Mister represented
the Lafayette Presbyterian on the floor.
DR. King was the strongest advocate for
the change of the term. DR.. r. G.. Bird
and Rev. DR.. Miller were leaders of the
opposition. Advocates of the change ar
gued that it was wise to make the rule
new while Drs. Wilson and Farrs were
the officers, so that when they came to
lay the work down there would be no en-
barrassment in electing their successors.
Those opposed to the change suggested
that the movement might be regarded as
a personal motive. They also thought the
adoption of the change inexpedient be-
cause it would precipitate a scramble for
office every four years
Or. Reld offered n substitute that the
change suggested was inexpedient." 1t
was carried by vote of sc to 50.
Reports were read from the committee
on Publication and Sabbath.

This afternoon the Assembly accepted
an invitation from President Shearer, of
Davidson College, to visit the college,
about twenty miles from here. The order
for tonight was the continuance of the

ton. The address was made by Rev. DR..
Tadlock, of the Union Theological Semi

Washington, May 2+.-PFesident Me
Einley to-day signed the resolution ap-
propriating $4,000 for the relief of dis
trcssed American citizens in Cuba.
The President, on the suggestion of Sec
rotary Alger, is considering the plan Of
assigning an officer from the Conmissary
Department of the regular army to take
charge of the assembling of relief sup
plies for Americans in Cuba. This de-
partment is trained in the handling Of
supplies, and has advantages in contract
ing for large quantities of necessaries.
Through the good offices of the Spanish
government, it is probable that, in the
event it is decided to send food supplies
to Cuba in addition to the remittances of
money, our government Will be able to
send much more than would be the case
if duty were eXacted upon the goods i'm
ported, An intimatiOn has been given
that such supplies will be admitted duty
free. The Importance Of this remission
can be perceived when it is realized that
the duty on -four is $3.50 per barrel, or
about its original cost. In other words,
the $4,000 appropriation will be practic-
ally doubled in value by the saving of tar
iff reductions.
1t was said this afternoon that the
President tomorrow would begin to plan
the details of the distribution. so the sub
jects doubtless will come before the full
Cabinet at its regular meeting.
