UNITED CHURCH READY.
1t Will Open It's Annual Session
This Forenoon.

This Forenoon.
The Norwegian United lutheran
church, which opens its annual conyen
ton In this city today, is one of the
three largest Scandinavian Lutheran.
bodies in the country, being second in
size only to the Swedish Augustana
synod. An exciting time is looked for at
the meeting, and for that reason a larger
delegation will be present than at any
previous annual meeting held by the
church In st. Paul. In fact, some look for
the recurrence Of the scenes familiar in
the meetings OF the church in the early
nineties. when the fight over Augsburg
seminary often became so uproarious a.
to make the sedate body of ministers and
their delegations appear more like a Pop
ui1st convention than congregation of
peace makers. The Augsburg fight was
settled out Of court last summer, but the
one before the church now is Just as
serious, and very similar to It.
The question at issue is Of a double ma
ture, namely: Shall the school of the
church remain in Minneapolis or shall II
be removed to Northf1eld? And shall the
college and theological seminary be un-
der one head or made two separate In
stitutions? The Mortified party is near
ly equal in strength to the other and has
considerable leverage In the meeting on
account Of the college buildings and
grounds, which the st. Olaf corporation
is willing to transfer to the, church on
condition that 1t moves the school there.
The meeting today will open with a
sermon by one of the leading clergymen
present. Afterwards the various commit
tees will be appointed and the president
and other officials will read their reports.
The treasurer's report will show the
church to be in good financial condition.
1t is. out Of debt and has accumulated
fund and other property to the amount
Of a $25o00o during its nine years history.

cepted Yesterday, and Lieut.. Col.
Marsh Is Now in Charge of the
Forces of the Fourth.
Adjt. Gen. Lambert yesterday accepted
the resignation of Condo Hamlin, COL
onel of the Fourth regiment, N. G. S. M.
This leaves the new national guard regi-
ment without a colonel, and it is not like
ly that any one will be selected to sue
coed Col. Hamlin for the present, at
least.
Indeed 1t is given out by Gen. Bend
that no election will be ordered in tho
Fourth regiment, and that Lieut.. Col c.
H. Marsh will be nominally in command
of the regiment until its future is deter
mined.
Maj. Monfort yesterday turned in the
last sheets of his tabulated report upon
the inspection of each Of the thirty ma
tional guard companies, and Gen. Lam
bert will, within a few days, issue an
order mastering out all companies that
nave not come up to- a certain standard.
Gen. Bend stated yesterday that several
of the Fourth regiment companies would
be mustered out, and eventually the regi-
ment would be absorbed in the Second
and Third regiments, as most of the
companies would prefer to join the COM
panies of the old guard rather than be
a part of the reserve forces"
"A colonel is not necessary" said Gen.
Bend yesterday, unless there are eight
or more companies in the regiment Just
at present the Fourth has nine compa-
MES. but as several will be mustered out
1t will bring the organization down below
the limit 1t is probable that several
companies in the other two regiments
