The troubles IN the West Presbyterian Church
which led TO the resignation OF its pastor the Rev
Or. Anthony II. Evans 10 call attention
again 10 the Discussions which OF late have agi-
tated almost constantly Presbyterian congrega-
tons IN this city. The Tribune has before alluded
to the seeming circumstance that the Presbyterian
denomination. more than any other. has been
peculiarly unfortunate in this respect Apart from
the variances between the conservative and liberal
elements OF the Church differences which have
been marked with added bitterness since the Briggs
controversy. II would appear that many individual
congregations have had their share OF domestic
turmoil. II the term may be used. And yet adj
mittedly there is group OF people more earnest
in their sincerity strenuous in efforts for the
betterment Of conditions OF deeper religious con
vicons II is unnecessary to refer IN detail TO the
many instances which have occurred In this city
In the last few years where there has been strife
between pastor and congregation or between d.
viled sections Of congregations The differing
circumstances which attended the designations
OF the Rev. Drs John r. Paxton John Hall,
Joseph r. Kerr and again in the case Of
DR. Evans. 10 say nothing OF the disturbance
which the Warszawfak case has once more pre-
cpitated into the Presbytery itself. suffice as IN
stances OF the numerous OF discord that have
distressed Presbyterians IN NewYork. II is known
moreover that In consequence Of decreases In NOM
bership several Presbyterian churches I'm this city
suffering from financial stress.
Further Inquiries yesterday among the members
Of the West Presbyterian Church went TO show
that should the Session on saturday next decide
TO recommend the acceptance of Or. Evans's res

A VERDICT RETURNED.

NEW YORK, November 22.-The
verdict of the coroner's jury in the
case of the death of the five persons
by drowning as a result of collision
in the North river between the Penn
sylvania Railroad Company's ferry
boat Chicago and the steamer City Of
Augusta, of the Savannah line, on the
morning of October 31st last, was re-
ported to-day. 1t was that these per-
sons came to their deaths by asphyx-
iation by drowning owing to the fact
that VIM. Durham, pilot of the ferry
boat Chicago, disregarded signal from
the City of Augusta and proceeded to
cross the latter's bow in violation of
the rules in such cases.
Captain Durham, who has been out
ON $4,000 bail, was allowed to continue
the bail, and Captain Daggett, of the
City of Augusta, was discharged.

WHOSE FAULT.

Aguinaldo would have given up long ago
If he had not PLACED too much confidence
In the ability of these self-styled anti-im-
perialists to sway the minds of the Amer
lean public. These, and these only, are
guilty of prolonging fruitless contest
Intelligencer.
AS our esteemed contemporary seems
to be in the confidence of Aguinaldo, it
is but courtesy to accept this version
of the situation. Yet there is no ques-
tion that the war would never have oc-
Cured had the Filipinos been given the
same assurance of independence that
was given the Cubans, while it is not
the fault of the anti-imperialists, but
of this imperial administration, that the
war is prolonged at such tremendous
sacrifice of American life and treasure,
since it could be stopped at any time by
giving the Filipinos the simple guar
antee they ask that we have no de
signs on their ultimate independence
and that they are not asked merely to
accept a change of imperial masters.
No, esteemed contemporary, it is not
the anti-imperialists that are guilty
of prolonging fruitless contest but
Hanna, Mckinley & Co. and their or
gans, of which you are noble speci-
men, who have trampled the Constitu-
ton of the United States into the i'm
perial mud and thrown the Declaration
of independence out onto the ash-pile
On their heads is the blood of our
soldiers, and they alone are responsible
for the loss of hundreds of millions of
the taxpayers money-not the anti-im-
perialists who would change all this
and return to American principles.

PITTSBURG, Pa, November o.
Senator VIM. Finn to-day filed his
answer in the suit of the City of Pitts
burg against him for the recovery of
s11S,7S2.75, city money alleged to have
been borrowed from city funds.
The senator denies specifically that
he had borrowed or used city money.
He admits that he had money transac-
tons with W H. House, assistant city
attorney, individually, at which time
he exchanged his personal or Booth &
Finn checks, but in each case his
checks were satisfied when due.
There was no intimation at the time
that money used in these transactions
belonged to the city.

whv Diseases Are chronic.

Diseases are called chronic when they
linger along without getting better, the
system becoming weaker through loss
of vitality. Chronic diseases signify
improper treatment. This is especially
evident in nervous troubles, and the
various weaknesses of both men and
women. DR.. Greene, of Nervura fame,
the leading specialist in curing nervous
and chronic complaints, is noted for
phenomenal success in curing chronic
cases. DR.. Greene wants to examine
all cases that ordinary practitioners
have failed to cure. He offers free con-
sultation and advice to all who call at
his Office, IS w. 18th street, New York
City, and to all who write to him. Just
think of this opportunity to consult a
regular physician of worldwide reputa-
ton absolutely free. Write to DR..
Greene at once about your case.

JOINED THE STRIKERS.


PHILADELPHIA, November %
Fifty-four apprentice boys and five fit
tiers to-day joined the ranks OF the
striking employees of Cramps shipyards.
The boys demand for a nine-hour
work day was refused and the filters
struck in sympathy with the men al
ready out
The strike leaders claim that this
practically denudes the shipyard of its
force of riveters and heaters. The ap-
prentices have for six weeks past, it is
alleged, constituted the sole reliable
force that the firm could command for
this work.
