Endow Educational Institution.
CBy the Associated Press. }

Atlanta. May 24.-The Southern Gener-
al Assembly of the Presbyterian church
will likely raise twentieth century fund
Of 81, 900. 600 to be used principally for
the endowment and establishment of an
educational institution. The special COM
mittee to which was referred an overture
from the Prebytery of Louisville and
one from l.. Fl. Blanton. j. L. Vance and
others asking that the fund be raised, re-
ported favorably upon the overtures at
the opening session today. The report
was docketed for debate. The recommen-
daton will doubtless be adopted. 1t pro-
vides for a treasurer to handle the funds
and committee from the General Assem-
bly, to supervise it. Each synod in the
Assembly is requested to appoint a COM
mittee to cooperate with the general
committee.
A report was received today from the
special committee to which the matter
of the publication of a new hymn book
was referred. 1t recommended that the
book be issued with such changes as may
be necessary under the copyright. Delay
in it's publication was asked until after
the meeting of the presbyteries in the
autumn so the latter could offer sugges-
lions regarding it. The report was
docketed for debate.
When the head Of miscellaneous bust
ness was reached the discussion of the
question of salary for the Secretary of
the Board of Foreign Missions was re-
vived. The fixing of the amount has
been in the hands of the Executive Com
mittee for Foreign Missions. and January
1st, 1900. this committee raised the sala-
ry fem $1,000 to $4,000. An overture
asking that the fixing of the Secretary S
salary be taken from the committee and
placed in control of the General Assembly
was submitted to committee which re-
ported yesterday that it be left to the
executive committee.

EIGHT HOURS ON THE ALASKA BILL.
House Adopts Two Important Amendments
Report on Indian Bill Adopted.
(By the Associated Press

Washington, May 24.-The House prac-
tically devoted eight hours today to the
consideration of the Alaska Civil Govern
ment Bill but progress was slow. Two
amendments of Importance were adopted.
One of them authorized the Secretary of
War to issue permits to excavate or
dredge for gold below low water mark
on the beach at Cape Nome. The Sec
rotary has heretofore issued permits but
the bill as it passed the Senate cancelled
them. The House also struck out the
chapter relating to arrest and bail
which permitted arrests in certain civil
actions The conference report on the
Indian Appropriation Bill was adopted.
In the discussion of the Alaskan Bill,
Mr.. w. E. Willis Glls.), offered an amend
ment to provide for a territorial dele
gate from Alaska, which was adopted,
Il to 81.
Mr.. Bartlett (Ga), moved to strike
from the bill all the provisions relat-
ing to arrest and bail, leaving only a
provision that no person shall be arrest
ed on civil action. Mr.. Bartlett insist
ed that there should be no arrest for
debt. Mr.. Grosvenor was in favor OF
striking out this whole chapter.
The whole chapter, was finally striker
out without division. After completing 90
of the 81 pages of the bill, the commit
tee rose.
Mr.. Fitzgerald (Mass). called attention
to the fact that by the terms of the
Indian Bill Congress for the first time
since General Grants administration re-
fused a cent for contract schools. He
charged that this was due to the cam
paign of bigotry waged in certain sections
of the country against these contract
schools, most of which were Catholic.
At 5:25 p. m. the House took a re-
cess till s p. m.
