WASHINGTON, Aug. AFTER a con-
ference on the peace question lasting
just an hoLr, yesterday afternoon, be-
tween the president and NJ. Cambon,
the French ambassador, the latter act
ing as the representative of Spain,
Secretary Day emerged from the White
House and announced that the days
conference was inconclusive, where
fore the parties to it had agreed to say
nothing publicly as to what had &C.
cured.
The Secretary Did Not Appear to be Dis
cOuraged
as he made this statement, though he
admitted that no time had been set for
another conference. From this it is
gathered that the much-expected an
swer of the Spanish government to the
presidents note, upon being received,
had turned out to be just as it was ex-
pected, either a counter proposition or
Il request for a fuller statement in de-
tail upon some of the heads of the
presidents note.

Give Them "A Trip Anyhow.

1t is felt hat eve should an armis-
tice be declared before these troops see
active service at the front, it will be
beneficial for them to have made the
trip, for otherwise there was danger of
the morale of the troops being de-
strOyed through their craving to get
away from the big concentration
camps and at least see the shores of
or Porto Rico.

Winchester PresbyterY.

The Winchester Presbytery con-
venes in its stated spring meeting at
Charlestown at 80 o'clock this even
ing. The opening sermon will be
preached by Rev. E. D. Waahburn, OF
Romney. From the Charlestown Free
Press we take the following interesting
bit of history concerning this body;
Winchester Presbytery was set off by
the Synod of Virginia from the Presby-
terry of Lexington. September 20. 1874,
and was organized in Winchester, De-
cember 1. 1894. 1t then consisted OF five
ministers and sixteen churches as fol-
lows Rev. Moses Hoge, pastor of Car
mel (Shepherdstown) church; Rev. Nash
Legrand. of Winchester, Opequon and
Cedar Creek Rev. VIM. Hill, of Charles
town and Hopewell (Smithfeld) church
es: Rev. VIM. Williamson, of South
River Front Royal and Flint Run;
Rev. John Lyle, of Frankfort Romney
and Springfield; with the following va
cancies. viz: Middletown (Gerardstown)
and Back Creek. united, able to support
a minister: Concrete lin Hardy county,
able. and Powell's Fort and Lost River
not able. The original boundaries of
this Presbytery extended east of the
Blue Ridge mountains and embraced
the whole OF the Northern Neck of
Virginia, but now the Blue Ridge noun
tains is the southern boundary. AT
present the Presbytery embraces the
counties of Page, Warren, Clarke, Fred
erick and Shenandoah, in Virginia, and
Jefferson, Berkeley, Morgan, Hampshire,
Hardy, Mineral, Grant and Tucker, in
West Virginia In 1899 the Presbytery
was divided into "Old School and New
School. " and these bodies reunited in
Winchester, Va, in 1865, under the Synod
of Virginia. 1t now consists OF thirty
one ministers and forty-siX churches
with 3, 75S members. Its only permanent
officers are stated clerk and treasurer
Rev. J. r. Graham, of Winchester, has
been stated clerk since 1888. Mr.. Ed
ward Tea, of Strasburg, has been treas
urer since 1889 The Moderator and two
temporary clerks are elected at each
meeting. At the stated spring meetings
commissioners are elected to the Gcneral
Assembly and the basis of representation
is one minister and one elder to each
twenty-four ministers or fraction there
of. The principal work of Presbytery
is confided to executive committees,
which are annually appointed at the
stated fall meetings. During the spring
meetings the Presbytery reviews the
records Of sessions, and criticism upon
these often gives much instruction as to
church government and discipline As
there are 81 ministers and IS churches
and each chnrch is entitled to an elder
in Presbytery, the total membership OF
Presbytery is Il: but there are hardly
ever more than 30 present.

When the men of the regular and
volunteer armies go into action they
will wear around their necks little
tags of aluminium, by which they may
be identified if found later on the field
Of battle. In the last war it was Of
ten impossible to properly identify the
dead soldiers, and thousand were
buried in graves marked "unldenh-
fed" The War Department has pre-
pared this system of Identification,
and it has been decided that on each
tag shall be the numeral assigned each
man on the muster rolls, with the let
ter of his company, battery, or troop,
and his regiment. These tags will be
sent to the troops in the South when
it is evident that a fight is on hand.
In the civil war officers of some of the
regiments had little silver shields in
scribed with the wearer's name, rank,
and regiment.
