The General Assembly
WINONA LAKE, Ind, May 26.-Routine
business was laid aside by the Presbyterian
general assembly today and the time was
given to a celebration of the Goth anniver-
sary of the adoption of the Westminster
confession of faith. The last speaker on
the afternoon program was former Gov
ernor 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 the southern Presby-
terian churches shall unite to carry forward
the gospel of the Son of God, as our ma
tional 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 sat back, fainting
into a chair. The scene caused consider
able excitement, and order y0s only re-
stored by the announcement that General
Beaver had recovered.
The general assembly laid aside the Nc
Giffoert case, which was of intense inter-
est to the whole church, in order to ccle-
brate the 25Oth anniversary Of the adoption
of the Westminster confession Of faith and
catechism.
An oaken gavel and granite block from
Westminster Abbey were presented for the
use of the assembly.
DR.. William C. Gray presented an oil
portrait of Alexander Henderson, the
leader of the Scotch commissioners to
Westminster assembly, and author of the
famous Solemn League and Covenant of
Scotland" The exercises included four adj
dresses, the first being that of DR.. w. H.
Robert of Philadelphia, the State clerk of
the assembly, who described the work and
character Of Alexander Henderson. DR..
Samuel J. Nicolls of st. Louis described
"the civil and religious conditions of the
time of the Westminster Assembly" DR..
George Norcross of Carlisle, Pa, rehearsed
the history of the assembly in the middle
of the seventeenth century. The final ad
dress was by DR.. j. D. Moffat Of Wash
ington, Pa, on the fundamental doctrines
of the Westminster confession and cate
chisms.
At the afternoon session the first address
was made by DR.. Robert E. Coyle Of Oak
land CAL, on westminster Polity and
Worship"
The present need Of the church, he said,
was an exalted Christ. II defeat was to be
avoided.
DR.. N. Hills of Chicago and DR.. Benja-

sion.

sion DR.. W. T. Melloy of Chicago moved

completed in the morning and that Friday

REFUSE SILVER DOLLARS.
Santiago shopkeepers Would Accept
Them Only mt Their bull
Hon Value.

Some of the government officials at
Washington are displeased at the con-
duct of some Santiago shopkeepers
who refuse to accept American silver
dollars when rendered them by the
soldiers for more than their bullion
value, which IL now about As cents.
Possibly those shopkeepers are not de-
serving of censure. They may be
| rather ignorant men who have handled
no American silver dollars, but have
handled good many Mexican dollars.
which they know are worth less than
half their face In gold. OF late the
Cuban-Spanish silver money has been
below par and the Santiago shopkeep-
ers may have distrust of all silver.
They will get over that distrust,
however, ms far as American silver IL
concerned, when they learn that II is
worth it's face and that IL is always
good ut its face value In the payment
of debts due 70 American merchants.
from whom they buy goods. 1t will
not be necessary for the military au-
thorities to compel the shopkeepers
to take silver dollars at their face
value. 1t will be sufficient to explain
the difference between the American
and Mexican silver dollars-that the
former are kept at gold par and the
latter are not. Mexican merchants
have long known the difference. Then
the soldiers will get 100 cents worth or
goods in exchange for their silver
coins.
1t is a pity that Orator Bryan is not
Mt Santiago. II he were, since he pro-
fesses to he an expert in silver, Gen.
Shaftcr might detail him to expound
to the petty dealers In Santiago the SUI
pcrior merits of the American silver
dollar. This would not be an)agree-
able duty, for Bryan has beenlaboriug
hard for some time to break down the
silver dollar Of the United States, SO
that II would buy no more than the
Mexican dollar. Bryan has n great
affection for the latter coin, in spite
of or because of It's defects, but IL his
military superior were to order him to
run down the Mexican dollar and
praise the American one, of course he
would have to do it, and to explain to
the shopkeepers that the American
uOlInT was the DeIItT OF the TWO NY
more than 100 per cent. because II was
not free coinage dollar,
1t is n pity also that those deluded
free 3ilvcritcs who are in Bryan's regi-
mcnt or in some Of the southern regi-
ments are not nj Santiago to see how
the first impulse of tradesmen Is to
assign to silver it's bullion value. They
know they are safe from loss IL they
take silver money on that basis. They
accept American gold without demur.
They know SO piece is sure TO be
worth its face. They have whole
some distrust of silver. In order to
| find how much il is worth they put II
on the scales. The scuryy treatment
Of American silver dollars by the San
tingo shopkeepcrs is due to their ig-
norance. but If this country were to
adopt free coinage its silver dollars
would have no greater purchasing
power abroad or Mt home than is ac-
corded them ut Santiago.

TRIUMPH OF THE PRESIDENT.
He Has Done His Work So Well That
the Country Commands World
Wide Respect.

There is marked change in public
opinion in Europe regarding the United
States, which may be attributed prima-
rily to the craftsmanship of William
Mckinley, next to the exploits of Ad-
mirals Dewey, Sampson, Commodore
Schley and Maj. Gen. William II. Shaft
err, and thirdly to the fact that any
untoward movement made by conti-
mental powers against the United States
possibly would effect an Anglo-Amer-
lean union which might set all Europe
aflame in war.
The tone OF the German press, which
has been markedly unfriendly since the
beginning of the present war, begins to
change, and German professions of
friendship are pouring in hot upon the
incident in Subic bay, where Admiral
Dewey plainly showed that there can
be no further triflng with his orders by
Germany or anyone else. When he
brought the cruiser Irene to with a shell
across her bows, it might have been
thought that Germany would have ex-
pressed dissatisfaction; but that affair
apparently has attracted no attention
in Germany. At any rate, nothing is
said publicly about it, Possibly the in
timation conveyed to the German adj
miral by the captain of the British
cruiser in Manila bay, that he had an
understanding with Admiral Dewey as
to what would be done If German war
vessels venturcd to interfere with
Dewey, has also assisted in clarifying
the case and has helped to convince
Germany that she always has been
friend of the United States.
The change in tone that is noticed is
highly gratifying. No matter TO wha.
il is due, it is pleasing to the people Of
the United States, who are not seeking
trouble, though they arc able, as the
world knows to-day, to protect their
interests when they have engaged in n
quarrel.
1t seems to be clear, then, that we
are not to have trouble with Germany
over the settlement of the Philippine
question. What that will be can only
be coniectured; but that the settlement
will be wise. as becomes the statesman
ship which has been shown by this adj
ministration from the very day that the
affairs of the nation were taken in hand,
may be accepted as a certainty.
The administration has done its work
so well that the country to-day COM
mands the respect of the whole world
Even those who were disposed to look
down upon it six months ago perceive
its power and foresee its possibilities
If the administration had acceded to
the demands of those who would have
pushed the country into war before II
was ready to take action, we would
have suffered reverses, we would
have melted envious powers Of Europe
to take action adverse to us, which
would have brought about complica-
tions of the most serious nature. AS It
was. however, William Mckinley man
| aged affairs with such signal ability
that no reverses were sustained. Amer
lean triumphs were continuous and now
peace is in sight, Albany Journal.

GREETED WITH CHEERS.
Demonstration of JOY at Honolulu ON
Receipt of the News of the
Annexation.

San Francisco, July 2s.-The steam
er Mariposa has arrived from Austria
liza and Honolulu, bringing the follow
ing correspondence, dated Honolulu,
July 20: The steamship Coptic ar
rived from San Francisco on the even
ing of the 18th inst. with the impor-
tant news that the United States SEN
ate had ratified the resolution making
Hawaii part of the United States.
Long before the vessel had reached the
karbor it was known that he steamer
brought annexation news, the infor-
nation having been signaled to the
Mohican. The fire whistle and the
whistles of foundries, mills and steam
ers were turned loose and pandemoIi-
UNI reigned. Fireworks were set of.
In the midst of the noise 100 guns were
fred on the grounds of the executive
building. At the same time the lla-
waiian band started out and marched
through the streets to the wharf, play
ing American patriotic airs. An inn
mense procession was formed and
march was made to the executive
building. President Dole was at his
beach home when the steamer was
sighted. He hurried into town and
reached the wharf as the steamer tied
up. The people here have decided not
to have any formal annexation cele-
bration until the Philadelphia and
Admiral Miller arrive with the flag.
The leading men of Honolulu met to-
day and recommended Harold NJ.
Sewall, United States minister to Ha-
wall, for governor of the islands.

THE STRAIGHT OF IT.
Democrats Claim Credit for the
Splendid Achievements of
Our Wnrships.

Those democratic newspapers which
are trying to make political capital
out of the achievement of the United
States warships by claiming that the
democratic party originated the new
navy are not wise. The claim thus
made suggests an appeal to the facts,
and the facts are against the claim. 1t
is rcquently-repeated assertion that
Hon. William c. Whitney, while sec
rotary of the navy in President Cleve-
lands first cabinet, started the crea-
ton of the ships which have won such
distinction for American arms.
Secretary Whitney was an energetic
and capable official, and no fair minded
person seeks to deprive him of the
credit that is his due. But the super
serviceable democratic newspapers
are protesting too much. Let's see.
Mr.. Cleveland's first administration be-
1859. A reference to the official rec
ords will show that four vessels-the
first of the new navy-were built prior
to the incoming of the democratic
regime The keels of the Atlanta, Bos-
ton, Chicago and Dolphin were laid in
1888, while President Arthur was in
the white house.
All four of these ships have done
good service, and although the Cleve-
land administration objected to the
Dolphin on the ground of structural
weakness, that craft has proved to be
one of the stanchest in the navy. The
Boston took part in the famous Manila
fight, and is one of Admiral Dewey's
best ships. Mr.. Cleveland's admins
tration in building naval vessels
showed great partially for English
designs, nearly all of which proved de-
fective or absolute failures. The re-
publican Administrations have relied
on American designs and American
material. The results at Manila and
Santiago sufficiently vindicate their.
judgment.-Troy Times.
