A DECIDED CHANGE.
Troops Stationed at st. Michael Or
dered to Philippines.

Washington, May 2O.-The war de-
partment has turned over to General
Shafter the complete direction of all
military affairs in Alaska The only
general instruction sent to him has
been to relieve the soldiers who have
been station in Alaska by fresh troops
it being deemed unwise to attempt to
retain men in that climate for more
than one year at a time. Therefore two
companies of the Fourteenth infantry
now divided among Dyea, Skaguay and
Wrangel island. are ordered to be with
drawn and sent to the Philippines The
same order is given to a detachment
of the Third artillery and the Eigh-
teenth infantry now stationed at St.
Michael near the mouth of the Yukon.
The movement of the troops involved
in making these changes has attracted
the attention of the British authorities
who are naturally sensitive as to the
presence of American TROOPS within
part of the territory, the title to which
is in dispute
Without going to the length of a pro-
test, the embassy here has made 4 dis

LIGHTNlNG'S BOLT.
End of w. L. Humbert's Resi-
dence Torn Off and Family
Shocked.

Lightning struck the house occupied
by w. L. Humbert and family, on East
Twentieth street. just across the rail-
road tracks, about 1 o'clock this after
noon, tore out practically the entire
back of the dwelling, and severely
shocked Mrs. Humbert, her 12-year-old
son and the servant girl.
The boy was rendered unconscious by
the shock and remained unconscious for
some time. Mrs. Humbert and the ser
want girl recovered from the shock in
a few minutes.
The bolt first struck the chimney at
the rear of the house and through it
descended into the rooms below A
large hole was torn in the floor. and the
rear walls of the dwelling forced out as;
if by an explosion.
Both the servant girl and the boy
We're in the kitchen when the bolt
struck the house, and both were thrown
violently to the floor. The boy was the
most severely shocked of the two, as
the girl retained consciousness Mrs
Humbert was in the front part of the
house and was but slightly shocked in
comparison. The three persons were
the only occupants of the house at the
time.
Medical aid was at once summoned
for the boy and he was restored to con-
sciousness. 1t is not thought that he is
seriously injured.
The house did not catch fire from the

M'GIFFERT STANDS FIRM.
Will Not Resign and Has Nothing to
Take Back.

Minneapolis, Mimi, May 20.-Dr Nc
Gifferts long expected letter was read
to the Presbyterian General assembly
today. It is as follows:
New York, May 15 1899
To the General Assembly of the Pres
byterian church
Dear Brethren-At the meeting of the
general assembly held in May. 1898, ac-
tion was taken in reference to a book
entitled, "A History of Christianity in
the Apostolic Age" of which I am the
author and was communicated to me
by the stated clerk under date of Sep
temb Der, 1898.
SKIP, '7elticrO
Waving at this time all questions OF
constitutional right and order. 1 have
thought it proper to look upon the ac-
tion in the light of friendly advice from
Christian brethren in which light in
deed, it would seem that it must have
been looked upon by those who Joined
in it.
Regarded thus the action evidently
requires no response from me, nor did
the assembly intimate in any way that
the response was either expected or de-
sired. But it is my wish to be govern
ed entirely by the spirit of Christian
fraternity and therefore I take this op-
portunity of informing the brethren TO
gather in the first general assembly
since the action was taken, which I
have felt my duty to be in view of the
fraternal counsel offered me.
The action of the assembly as we'll
Pittsburg, upon which that action was
based made it evident that many of
my positions, together with the spirit
and purpose of my book as a whole,
have been seriously misapprehended-
Such misapprehenSion L sincerely re-
gret and l wish here to emphatically
repudiate the false constructions that
have been placed upon my book in
many quarters. So far as my views
are concerned they have been and re-
main, as I believe in accord with the
faith of the Presbyterian church and
of evangelical christendom in all vital
essential matters and 1 therefore can
not feel that it is my duty or even my
right in justice to myself and to my
brethren and to the church of our di-
vine lord and master, in which L am an
office bearer to withdraw from the min
istry of the Presbyterian church. In
taking this position to which l am con-
strained by a profound sense of duty,
L desire to say that l recognize CRATE
fully the spirit of Christian kindness
which animated those who Joined in
the action of the last assembly and ap-
preciate the devotion to the truth and
concern for the welfare of the church.
Praying for the blessing of God upon
the church universal and especially up
on that branch of it within which l
was born and bred. and which it's inter
est L have most deeply at heart. 1 am
respectfully and fraternally yours.

JUDGE REFUSES.
Declines to Issue Marriage Licen Sc
For 13-Year-O Old Girl.

Probate Judge Dolman has decided
to refuse to issue a marriage license to
]. Hatcher and F'lossie Williams, unless
he is rnandagnuSed by the district court
and compelled to do so.
F1ossie is a colored girl, 10 years old,
who has neither parent nor guardian,
but whose foster father made an ap-
plication a few days ago to have her
sent to the state industrial school for
girls.
Flossie had been receiving attentions
from Hatcher. who is a young colored
man. and as She didn't want to be sent
to the school she told her troubles to
him. Hatcher applied to Judge Dolman
for a license to marry Flossie, but
Judge DoIman thought she was too
young and he would not issue the
license. Hatcher was told by a lawyer
that the probate judge had no right to
refuse to grant him license, no matter
how young his prospective bride might
be. Hatcher went back and told Judge
Dolman what he had learned, and the
judge took the matter under advise
ment. He has now decided to stand by
his first refusal, but admits that he
might be mandamused by the district
court to issue the license. He has
agreed, however, not to send F'lossie to
Beloit if she will behave herself.
