THE PRESBYTERIAN

The regular session of the Presbyter-
ian General Assembly in Richmond on
Saturday was devoted almost exclusive
ly to the transaction of routine business.
Greetings were sent to the General AS
semblies now sitting in Minneapolis
and Denver and received from the
former.
Among the overtures received and
referred was one from Mecklenburg,
Va, Presbytery, asking the Assembly
to withdraw from the International
Sunday school committee.
The Fayetteville, N. c., Presbytery
sent up an overture praying for the APP
pointment of judicial and influential
committee to prepare communication
on worldly amusements, with particular
reference to dancing, card. playing, and
theater-going, the communication to be
read from every pulpit in the southern
church.
The report on colored evangelization
was submitted. 1t shows that the sum
OF 81, DAT has been paid to the colored
ministers and churches; all debts have
been paid, and the work has been
maintained in all its departments. The
year closes with $1,000 in the bank,
which will keep the work going until
December.
The judicial committee announced
through its chairman that not single
contested case is to be brought to the
attention of the body. Absolute peace
reigns throughout the length and
breadth of the southern church.
The assembly today decided on At
lanta, as the next meeting place.
Presbyterian women took up the
liquor question at temperance confer
ence held in Minneapolis on Saturday.
Mrs. T. S. Hamlin declared that the
foundation of temperance was in the
home. If workingmen had good homes
and good table, they would never be
drunkards, she said.
DR.. A. T. McGiiiert, of the Union
Theological Seminary, by letter TO the
Presbyterian General Assembly, Satur-
day, refused to comply with its request
of last year that he should modify his
attitude on doctrinal matters, express
ed in his christian Church in the
Apostolic Age" or else withdraw from
the church, and declares that he Is in
accord with Presbyterian doctrine on
all vital points.

STRIKES IN VERMONT.
Tool Shsrpeners at Barre and Montpelier Want
Wages Adjusted.

Montpelier. VT, March '1.-All the
tool sharpeners at the granite quar-
ries at Barre and this city. struck. to-
day, owing to the failure of the manu-
:acturers to come to any agreement on
the wage question. A deadlock exists
among the quarry owners regarding
the acceptance in their committees, re-
port on the bill Of prices which were
to have gone into effect, this morning.
The manufacturers hold meeting, this
afternoon. to discuss the situation. 1t
is thought that the matter will be sat
isfactoriiy adjusted. The cutters are
still at work.
At meeting of the Granite Cutters
Union, tonight, it was decided not to
work, tomorrow, pending a settlement Of
the difficulty between the tool sharpeners
and the manufacturers, and an adjourn
ment was taken until tomorrow. The
principal contention is whether IL gang
as last year. the old price agreed being g
cents an hour
While settlement appears impossible,
tonight it is believed that it will be
peaceably arranged by tomorrow, and
that there will be no strike. There are
300 sharpeners employed in barre and
Montpelier and 2000 cutters in both cities,
none of whom will be able to work if the
strike occurs, as under the bylaws The
cutters agree not to work with non-union
sharpeners
