EAGLE LAKE, Ind, May 25.-The
PRESBYTERIAN general assembly today
settled two Important questions. The
first was not to sell It's building in New
York. and the second to have only
one secretary of home missions. The
latest echo Of the controversy over Dr..
Briggs and Union seminary came up IN
the report of the judicial committee,
which extended to all presbyteries the
order to exclude students OF that semi
nary from their care. 1t was apparent
that few commissioners knew what
they were voting upon, as the matter
arose on appeal from some unnamed
action of the synod Of New York, the
name Of the case alone being given.
When the case was taken up at the
morning session, the complaint OF the
New York presbytery against the
SYNOD. with regard to the hcensure OF
students, was withdrawn, upon answer
of the judicial committee that action
of previous assemblies applied to all
presbyteries who are thus "enjoined
and instructed not to take under their
care any students, who are pursuing or
purpose to pursue their studles IN se1n-
inaries not approved by the general as
sembly. This report Of the judicial COM
nrittee was adopted. without debate. The
regular order. Of hesmorning was the
report on. home missions.
The special orders for discussion at
the afternoon session were the two re-
ports on the Presbyterian building at
New York and the report Of the special
committee Of conference with the board
of home missions. Several speeches on
the former subject were made under
the flve-minute Limitation, and then the
floor was granted to DR.. Withrow,
chairman Of the committee. AS TO the
proposal to go back to Twelfth street,
DR.. Withrow said, in closing, the land
in question W ~, worth 100000 at least,
and that the L..ilding would cost $780,
600 at per cent. With the addition of
cost Of operation and taxes, the rent
would amount to more than $4,000, to
which SO much objection was made. In
closing the hope was expressed that
the assembly would be unanimous in
it's action.
A motion to lay the minority report
and all substitutes on the table was
promptly carried by an immense ma
jority. The question Of the adoption
Of the majority report, which did not
favor sale of the building, was put to
rising vote and only two commissioners
were seen to be on their feet, one a
minister who ducked down too quickly
to be recognized, and the other an elder
who. was SO dazed by his loneliness
that he stood longer than his nimbler
fellow commissioner The final result
was celebrated by singing the doxol
ogy.
AS a sort OF compromise measure
the following rule was introduced and

Final Session of the May Anniyer-

PITTSBURG, Pa. May 25.-The final
session Of the North American Baptist
May anniversaries, which have been
going on in the Fourth Avenue Baptist
church Of this city, since May IT, be-
gan at 10 o'clock this morning. The
delegates in attendance say that the
anniversaries just held have been the
most profitable and enthusiastic of any
held for years. Before the meeting
was formally opened, all foreign mis-
sionaries, with one exception, were in
vited to seats on the platform. The
exception was Rev. w. H. Cossum, of
China, who yesterday caused a sensa-
ton by his remarks on John D. Rookie
feller. Whether the omission was ac-
cidenta1 or Intentional is not known.
Mr. Cossum occupied a seat close to
the front and there was rather set
expression on his face.
A resolution was passed requesting
the foreign secretary to prepare for
the next years meeting a comprehen-
siye survey of the work abroad. with a
view to ascertaining the best methods
Of carrying on the work After prayer
the missionary union adjourned to
meet at the call of the executive com.

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 in
vested in accordance with laws provid-
ed 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
the board may propose 60 make.
At this point the Hon. John Wana-
maker took the moderator's chair and
parliamentary confusion began. DIR.
Kane, chairman of the special COM.
mittee on home missions, took the
floor 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 hereto
fore. AS soon as seconded, the motion
was put without opportunity for de-
bate, and declared carried.
A motion to reconsider was lost by
large vote. The request Of several
commissioners and of the chairman
that reconsideration be had, resulted
in a second motion to reconsider, but
this was blocked by the objection of
enc commissioners, DR.. Ward, Of Buff
falo. At last the parliamentary knot
WIS cut by motion to rescind, and
thus way for debate was opened. Sew
eral brief speeches were made, but
an attempt to- refer the matter to the
board for report was voted down, and,
after brief consideration, the recon-
mendation for a single secretary was
adopted. The other recommendation
as to meetings Of administration was
then speedily passed.

TARIFF CHANGES.

Not Many to BE Made in the Canadian
Bill.
OTTAWA, Ont, May 25.-Finance
Minister Fielding made a statement In
the house Of commons tonight, as to
the changes he proposed to make in
committee on the tariff. The changes
arc not many and are important in
only one or two instances. The prefer
entail clause ds so altered as to permit
every country having treaty with
Great Britain, and who is entitled to
the lower duties, to obtain the same.
so that the preferential tariff Is not
exclusively given to Great Britain. al
though that country Is now the only
one enjoying it. The excise duty On
leaf tobacco is to be changed to a
customs duty after the first of July
next, and while the duty on cigarettes
remains at So per thousand on all i'm
ported, those made from Canadian leaf
will only be $1.50 per thousand, as in
the old duty. The duty on cut mails
has been changed hack to specific
duty Of one-half cent per pound. 1t
was three fourthe cents under the con-
servatdve tariff. Scrap iron = reduced
from n to - per ton.
