NO UNION THIS YEAR.
Prcsbyterian Assembly Decides Not
to Make Any Effort to Unite
with the Church South.

Minneapolis, Mimi. May 24.-Much
surprise was manifested Tuesday
morning when the general assembly of
the Presbyterian church without a dis
senting vote accepted the report of the
committee on bills and overtures in
favor of making no attempt this year at
union with the church south. More
than 60 overtures had been received
from the presbyteries requesting that
some action in the direction of union be
taken. There has much preliminary
talk about the matter and some en-
thusiasts had even predicted that this
assembly would take the first steps to-
wards union.
1t appears that the church north has
decided to hold back until the church
south gives some signs of reciprocat-
ing the reunion sentiment which is so
