AT WIN0NA LAKE.
Routine Business Laid Aside by tho Presby-
 teran Assembly.

Winona, Ind, May 26.-Routine business was laid aside by the Presbyterian general assembly, today and the time was given to a celebration of the 250th anniversary of the adoption of the Westminster confess sion of faith The last speaker on the af- ternoon programme was former Governor James A. Beaver, of Pennsylvania In closing he remarked feelingly. pointing to the national emblem, that he had lately seen federal and former confederate gen. erals marching under the same banner General Beaver grew pale and almost fell to the platform, but. grasping the pulpit. he exclaimed: "God speed the day when the northern and southern Presbyterian churches shall unite to carry forward the gospel of the Son of God, as our national forces have united, north and south, to carry freedom to the ends of the earth"
 The effort proved too much for the Penn sylvania veteran and he sank back faint ing into a chair. The scene caused con- siderable excitement and order was only restored by the announcement that General Beaver had recovered.
 At the afternoon session addresses were made by Dr. Coyle of California; Dr. Hillis, of Chicago; Dr. Agnew, of Philadelphia and ex-Governor Beaver, of Philadelphia
 At the evening session General John Eat on, of Washington, and Moderator pr. Wallace Radcliffe spoke. Missionary speeches by pr. Spinning and Robert D. Speer closed the exercises.
 Today's sessions were attended by the largest crowds of the present assembly.

MEND0NCA' WORDS
 MEET WITH FAVOR
Brazilian Ministers Farewell Ad- dress Causes Much Favora-

Mexico City, May 26.-The published re- port of Brazilian Minister Mendoncas s forewe1 address to President Mckinley in which he advocates that the American diet sltould regulate the international rela- tions of this hemisphere, excites much favorable comment here and also in Gen. tral America. It is believed the speech was prompted not merely by his well- known admiration for the United States and American people, but by his intimate knowledge of the inner operations of the latter.
 Many pubic men in this country who have long favored some form of a ran American union, speak favorably of Men donca's proposition, and it is believed it's adoption would check all talk among the clerical party leaders throughout Latin America against tsle United States that the fact that the Ar = jeans had joined in an international council would demonstrate the wish to live on friendly terms with their southern neighbors and their absolute honesty in opposition to any. schemes ter- ritorial.

The latter part Of 1896 and the first
half of 1897 may be rightly considered
as constituting the period Of greatest
depression-as marking the turning
point in the general business stagna-

restricted activity is shown in the re-

Earnings have steadily decreased
since 1892, when the gross receipts
were s7,213 and the net income 81. 4O4I
