| Minneapolis, MINI, May 2S.-Without
dissenting vote the assembly of the Pres

Of the committee on bills and overtures
in favor of making no attempt this year
at union with the Southern church. More
than sixty overtures mad been received
from the presbyteries asking that some
action be taken on this question. There
was much preliminary talk about the mat
ter and some enthusiasts even predicted
that this assembly would take the first
steps towards union. But it appears that
the church North will hold back till the
church South gives some signs of recipro-
eating the union sentiment, which is 50
strong in the North.

Eeturn OF the Volunteers:

Great credit is due the admini,tra-
ton and the military management il,
Luzon for the skill and smoothn..s
with which the withdrawal of the vol
unteers Is going forward. One of the
greatest difficulties of the Philippine
problem has been to take 10. 900 sea-
soned men from the firing line and fill
their places with fresh regiments trans
ported across the Pacific. The vol
unteers had become acclimated veter-
ans. ready for any work. and were in
variably successful in carrying it
through. But their term of enlist
mente expired months ago. With adj
mirahle devotion they waived their
right to Il discharge. Their self-sac-
rihce and its important results will
make Il bright page in the story of the
defense. at Il critical time. of A.meri-
can sovereignty in the Philippines.
