Hong Kong. May 23.-7:35 p. NJ
The United States cruiser Olympia,
with Admiral Dewey on board, has ar
rived here from Manila. She was sa-
luted by the ships of all nationalities.
Admiral Dewey, Capt. Lamberton,
Lieut.. Brumby and United States Con-
sui Wildman were received by a guard
of honor of the Royal Welsh Fusileers
when they landed to visit the governor
of Hong Kong, Sir Henry A. Blake,
Major Gen. Gascoigne in command Of
the troops, and Commodore Powell,
commanding the naval forces. The
visit was afterward returned by the Of
ficials mentioned.
Admiral Dewey is in bad health, be-

dock here and will remain ten days at
this port
Washington, May 23.-The Navy De-
partment has cabled an inquiry to Adj

The People of That Benighted Section
Learn Something of the Negro Question
in the South.
Boston, May 23.-The people OF Bos-
ton are showing deep interest IN the
address of former Governor w. j..
North, of Georgia, who spoke before
the Congregational Club here last
night, but who, through lack of time,
was compelled to curtain his speech,
although he occupied more than two
hours. 1t was the general verdict to-
day that the citizens here never before
have had such an exhaustive statement
of the attitude of the South on the
negro question.
While some of Mr. Northen's state
ments did not meet with the approval
of his audience, especially those with
reference to the story of Uncle Tom 8
Cabin, the general favor with which
his statements were received were
shown by an expression from the floor,
when the speaker, prompted by the
chairman, was about to close, by a
person who moved "That the gentle
man be permitted to deliver the whole
of his address if it takes all night"
The motion was greeted with applause,
and the speaker continued for another
half hour
Although necessarily restricted as to
time, Bishop Arnett, who was to
speak for the negro, held the close at
tention of the audience, and as he
closed was given hearty hand-shake
by ex-Gov. Northen and cordial in
vitation to visit the former chief execu-
tive of Georgia at Atlanta.

Cincinnati, president of the Chesapeake

not in the meeting, only operators and

THE GENERAL ASSEMBLY
VIII Soon Have the McGifert Case Before
" for Consideration

" for Consideration.
Minneapolis, Mimi, May 23.-This
was a quiet day with the Presbyterian
General Assembly. The McGiffert case
and the Peoria overture will soon come
before the assembly. In the McGiffert
matter the committee on bills and
overtures is considering two reports,
and it is likely they will be presented
as majority and minority reports. One
is understood to favor a committee to
wait on DR.. McGiffert and invite him
to recast his theology on Presbyterian
lines, or else have the kindness to re-
sign without further discussion. The
other, it is said, Is along sterner lines
and looks to DR.. McGiffert's involun-
tary withdrawal from the church at
the earliest possible date. But the
New York Presbytery wants no more
heresy trials. The Peoria overture has
a strong backing and is expected to
bring out an exciting debate. The lib
erals in church policy. who include the
large numbers OF the theological con-
servatives, are expected 10 unite their
forces in support of the Peoria method
of appointing committees by the as
sembly instead of by the moderator.

THE STEAMER PARIS.

Are Better.

Passengers Depart from the Scene Of the
Are Better.
Falmouth, Eng, May 23-Most of
the passengers of the Paris left here
this morning Some will go on the
Kaiser Wilhelm der Crosse to-day but
the majority will take the st. Paul
from Southampton on Saturday. The
travellers were intensely grateful to the
Cornish folk for their unstinted hos
pitality.
The weather continues favorable to
the stranded ship. Soundings show
the Paris resting more favorably since
being lightened She is not straining
and there is a perceptible movement.
An official says the prospect is more
hopeful
The officers still refuse to furnish
any explanation of her getting out of
her course An official of the board of
trade boarded her for the purpose of
obtaining some information on the
subject, but her officers refused to
answer any questions, on the ground
that the British board of trade has no
jurisdiction in the matter, and that the
inquiry into the disaster must take
place in the United States, as the Paris
is under the American flag.
Later in the day a diver reported that
the Paris has sustained heavy damage
from her bow to point seventy feet
aft But he thinks the principal dam
age is inside the double bottom. An
other diver thinks false bottom will
be required.

THE INQUEST
Into the Reading Wreck May Result
in Recommending TO Change Rail-
reading Methods.

Reading, Pa, May 23-The second
day OF the coroner's inquest into the
cause or causes of the rear end COLI
sion at Exeter was highly interesting
and much sensational testimony was
ELECTED. The fact was established that
the first section was late; that Engin-
eer OrTell, of the second section, APP
parently did not know it,; that he ran
40 miles an hour; that he caught up
with it within two minutes at Exeter.
and that before he could get away the
crash came.
The desire to shift the responsibility
was strong again to-day and there were
some contradictions on important
points.
The testimony to-day showed COM
bination of circumstances, any one of
which had it been overcome, would
have avoided the wreck, and the cor
oner's jury will aim to make such a
recommendation that will result in i'm
proving railroad methods, if not going
so far as to condemn any particular in
dividual.
