THEY FEAR A SCHISN
MIR. DAuGHERTY HOLDS A REyu.
VAL At PIONEER CHURCH.
PASTORS CONFERENCE MrERYESEs.
Committee Appointed TO Reasen
With the Deacons-The Apostolio
Minister First In the FieId-He Re.
CARDS the situation ~ Humorous.


At the regular weekly conference Of
Baptist ministers held last Monday q
statement was made by Rev. Mr.. Throg-
morton. TO the effect that the congrega-
tion OF the Pioneer Baptist church had
invited Rev John w. Daugherty. au-
thor Of the schism at the Fulton Bap-
tist church, to hold a series OF revival
meetings at the little Heprico taberna.
Gle. He asked the ministers TO use their
influence to exclude Mr.. Daugherty from
that pulpit, lest his preaching should
create a division similar TO that which
had been brought about in Fulton.
The pastors OF the conference, after
careful consideration appointed a cons
mittee of five to confer with the con.
gregation, and advise them that In view
of tho unorthodox teachings OF Mr..
Daugherty, It was desirable that he
should not DO allowed to occupy tho
pulpit of any Baptist church. Rev. DIR.
Dunaway was created chairman OF this
| committee. the other members OF which
are Rev. Messrs. Harrison, Throgmorton.
| Cooper, and Pitt. This committee is ex-
pected to make report next Monday
morning to the conference. but up to last
night no action had been taken by them.
| PASTOR DAUGHERTY SURPRISED.
statement Of the action OF the miniss
| ters which appeared In an afternoon
| paper yesterday was shown to Rev. Mr..
| Daugherty last night. The pastor OF
| the Apostolic church had just taken his
| seat in his buggy. preparatory to driving
out to his nightly service at the Pioneer
church. He was much surprised at the
announcement, which he said was entirely
new to him. 81 am not given to treat
ing things humorously,' he added. but
| this IL decidedly humorous. When I
| was ordained in Court-Street Baptisy
| church. In Portsmouth. l was licensed to
| preach the Gospel whenever and where
| ever the opportunity presented Itself. I
will be true to that mission. The
strangest part of It all Is that the Rev.
Or. Dunaway, who is the chairman Of
this committee of investigation, was the
minister who moved that | should be or
| dained under that license"
The pulpit of the Pioneer church had
been offered TO him. he continued; he
had not sought It, He said he would
take a copy OF the article In question to
church with him. and added. with dry
humor. that he would read ~ to the con-
gregation and help the committee Out
with their investigations.
REV. MR. HARRIsON'S VIEWS.
Rev. J. II. Harrison said that the work
of the committee had been left to Mr..
Dunaway and he personally did not know
what course would be taken One thing.
he said. was certain that Mr.. Daugherty
could never have been licensed to preach
in the Baptist church holding the views
he now holds. IL was pity, he thought.
that he should have gone out of his way
to disturb congregation. and TO create
a schism which could only lead TO much
bitterness OF spirit

CURRENCY MESSAGE.
PROBABILITY OF THE PRESIDENTS
SENDING IN ONE.
NATTER CONSIDERED BY The CABINET
IL Will he Determined on Mr.. Nc
KinIey's Return from CantOn-Sec-
retary Gage Evolving Currency
scheme-Indiann Interest.

WASHINGTON. July 2.-The question
whether the President will send special
message 10 Congress recommending the
creation of a currency commission Will
be definitely decided next week. Tne
President is strongly inclined at this
time TO send a special currency mes
sage to Congress. regarding himself as
i'm a considerable measure pledged to
this course In fact, this afternoon, 1t
was semi-officially announced at the
White House that such a message would
be sent to Congress next week, but some
OF the Presidents most influential ad-
visers on financial questions are opposed
to a message at this time, owing 10 hos
tiity TO a commission on the part of
Congress and the final determination, as
stated, will not be reached until Mr..
McKinley's return from Canton.
The Executive Committee of the Indi-
annapolis Sound-Money Convention have
been actively advocating the commission
scheme ever since the advent of the
present administration. 1t has also the
sympathy of the President, who COM
mitted himself TO it in his inaugural.
President Mckinley, however did not
care to recommend it to Congress while
the tariff bill was pending, lest it might
complcate and delay action upon that
measure.
All along the chief difficulty which
presented itself to those who favored a
commission for the investigation of the
tion it would encounter in Congress.
Several of the silver senators have
openly avowed their unalterable hostility
to the creation of a commission, and
Senator Teller has declared that he would
remain here until December to defeat it.
This being the situation, it is understood
that some of the members of the Execu-
tive Committee of the indianapolis con-
yention are now inclined TO believe that
it would perhaps be a mistake to press
the present request for the creation of a
commission before Congress.
Secretary Gage has been at work for
some time on comprehensive currency
reform scheme, and some suggestion has
been made as to the wisdom of not having
a further agitation of the question, but
of permitting Mr.. Gage. who has the full
confidence of businessmen generally TO
frame a measure after such consultation
as he may desire with finauciers. busi-
ness-men, members OF the House and
Senate, and others.
The matter was under consideration at
the Cabinet meeting to-day, but not in a
manner to lead to a definite conclusion
or policy, ami it went over until the
Presidents return to the city. next week,
when it Is probable that Mr.. II. H. Hanna,
who Is chairman Of the Executive Com
mittee of the Indianapolis convention,
and. perhaps. other members of the COM
mittee, will come to Washington to dis
cuss the situation with the President
and Mr.. Gage. Upon the result of this
conference. probably, will depend Presl-
dent McKinley's action as to a special
message TO Congress.

Another Decision Against the state

Judge Simonton handed down a decision
refusing to grant the prayer Of the state
that T. r. Wesley be restrained from
taking possession of Agricultural Han in
Columbia. The case first came up before
Judge Slmonton under the Tillman ad-
ministration OF several years ago. Ihe
state lost before the Circuit Court, the
Court of Appeals, and the Supreme Court
of the United States. Recently appllca-
ton was made here before Judge simon
ton for a stay Of proceedings. Now that
this case has gone against the state II IS
orobable that Mr.. Wesley will get pos
session of the property. Agricultural Han
is now used as the state dlspensary.
