PRESBYTERlANS.
Two Important Questions Settled at
Yesterdays Session of the General
Assembly.

Eagle Lake, Ind; May 25.-The Pres
byterian General Assembly, to-day set
tied two important questions. The
first was not TO sell its building in New
York and the second to have only one
secretary of home mission.
The latest echo of the controversy
over Dr.. Briggs and the Union Semin-
ary came up in the report Of the judi
cial committee, which extended 70 all
Presbyteries the order 10 exclude stu
dents of that seminary from their care.
1t was apparent that few commission
ers knew what they were voting upon,
as the matter came up on appeal from
some unnamed action of the synod of
New York, the name Of the case alone
being given.
At the opening of the afternoon ses-
sion the following reply to cable
gram to Queen Victoria, sent yester-
day, was read:
THE Queen thanks the Assembly
for it's kind telegram.
(Signed) EDWARDS"
The special orders for discussion
were two reports on the Presbyterian
building at New York and the report
of the special committee Of conference
with the board of home missions. Sew
eral speeches on the former subject
were made under the five minute lin
itatition, and the floor was granted to
DR.. Withrow, chairman of the COM
mittee.
A motion to lay the minority report
and all substitutes on the table was
promptly carried by an immense ma

WASHINGTON. May 2J.-The cabinet
to-day again gave most of its time to the
discussion of Cuba. including not only the
methods of distribution of relief to the
distressed Americans in the island. but
also the general subject Of the insurrec-
ton. As to the latter, the proceedings
were confined entirely 10 discussion. and it
was not attempted 10 outline any dehpite
plan of procedure at this juncture Every
thing appears TO depend upon the conclu-
sions that are reached by Mr.. Calhoun,
and realizing that they are dependent for
a fair statement of the actual condition
Of Cuba entirely upon tina, agent. the
members of the cabinet are indisposed TO
bind themselves to any line of action in
advance. Tha; it does not necessarily imply
any great delay in treating the question
with more purpose to accomplish some
thirg than has yet been the case, is made
expects Mr.. Calhoun will have completed
his mission i'm Cuba and be on his way
back to Washington in the course of a
week or ten days. Allowing for the time
he may require to reduce TO form and en-
body perhaps i'm an official report the con-
clusons he has formed as to the condition

jority. The question Of the adoption
of the majority report was put TO
rising vote and only two commissioners
were seen 10 be on their feet, one
minister who ducked down TOO quick
ly to be recognized, and the other an
elder who was so dazed by his loneli-
ness that he stood longer than his
nimbler fellow commissioner. The
final result was celebrated by singing
the dOXology.
AS a sort of compromise measure the
following rule was introduced and
adopted to govern the action of boards:
when any board receives a legacy,
the use of which is not indicated in
the will of the testator, the funds shall
either be used for current work or
invested in accordance with laws pro-
vided for the care OF trust funds in the
State where the board is located. But
if not so used they shall be held until
the General Assembly approves of
some different use than that
which the board may propose to make"
At this point Hon. John Wanamaker
took the moderator's chair and parlia-
mentary confusion began. DR.. Kane,
chairman of the special committee on
home missions. took the floor on its re-
port and moved the adoption Of the first
resolution, which directed that the
work of the board be committed to
one secretary instead of two as here
tofore. AS soon as seconded, the mo-
ton was put without opportunity for
debate and declared carried.
The other recommendation as to
meetings of administration were then
speedily passed The first referred to
the making of appropriations for each
year. which was directed to be made
on the basis of average receipts for
several years. The board was directed
to avoid debt and if incurred to pay
the same from the assets of the sue
ceedng year. The assembly was evil
dently tired of the debate and wanted
these matters disposed of.
Home missions again occupied the
attention of the assembly in the even
ing at a popular meeting. Dr. John
Hall. of New York. presided and deliv-
cred an address. Other addresses were
made by DR.. George l.. Shining. Of
New Jersey: DR.. H. A. Baird, of Mon
tana. and Rev. S. B. Rush, Of Cali
fOrnia
In the course of his remarks Or. Hall
mentioned the satisfaction he felt over
the result of the vote on the Presbyter-
ian building this afternoon. He also ex-
pressed hope that soon there would
be union effected between this and
other branches of the Presbyterian
family. including the Southern
churches. His remarks were greeted
with applause.

tunate that the Republican side had Of
fered no estimate of revenue until to-day
Inquiry had been made of Statistician
Ford as TO the promised comparative state
ment and he had stated that it was turn
ed over TO the Senator from Rhode Island
(Aldrich).
Mr.. Vest asked what the estimate of Mr.
Ford was on the bill.
Mr.. Aldrich replied that the statistician
stated that in his opinion, neither the
House nor the Senate bill would furnish
sufficient revenue to meet the expenses of
the government.
Mr.. Vest, proceeding. declared that the
proposition to raise $S1O0O. 600 of revenue
by tax on tea and increasing internal
revenue was a naked and bold" aban-
donment of the protective policy of the
Republican party. Where was the protec-
ton to American manufacturers in these
taxes, he asked.
The Senator said that the greatest suf-
fering in the country was felt in the ag-
ricu!tural States. With abundant harvests
the people were without money and were
appealing to Congress for relief.
In conclusion, Mr.. Vest said that there
was no disposition to delay the considera-
tion of the bill. There would be no fac
tious opposition and no unnecessary objec-
ton.
Mr. Cannon. (Silver Republican. Utah),
introduced an amendment for bounty on
agricultural exports. and spoke briefly.
The tariff bill was then laid aside for the
day.

utive session. ard soon afterward ad-
