MEETING OF PRESBYTERY.
Orange and Morris Presbytery's Winter
ssssion-The McGiffert Case.

The Presbytery of Morris and
Orange held its winter meeting in
the chapel of the First Church on
Tuesday last. Rev. Kingsley Twining
of the Congregational Association of
Rhode Island was received and name
enrolled as a member of presbytery.
Rev S. ]. McClenaghan was dismissed
to another presbytery, the pastoral
relation between himself and the Elm
wood Church being first dissolved at
his own request The Rev. G. B.
Bullard, formerly pastor at Parsip-
pany is to be installed pastor of the
Elmswood Church early in February
The question of the legal rights of
the congregation Of the second church
of Mendham in the property of that
SO called city awaits the further re-
port of presbytery committee.
The secretary of Home Missions, Rev.
DR.. Thompson gave an interesting
and instructive address on the work
of his Board to a goodly audience in
the afternoon. The devotional hour
was led by Rev. F. B. Dwight.
The churches in the Oranges have
arranged for a continuous meeting tc
be held weekly by turn extending
through February and report much
interest. There seems to be quite q
prevailing sentiment that Prof. Nc
Clifford, of Union Theological Semi
nary was foolish in publishing his
book while under forty years of age.
And also that certain members Of
the New York Presbytery are equally
foolish in advertising him and his
book so widely. The usual routine
business of the presbytery ended with
general mutual friendship which even
the rain did not dampen or clouds
darken.

Washington, Jan. 18-A delegation
of merchants and planters of Puerto
Rico is in this country and will come
to Washington to give Congress and
the administration full information as
to conditions in that island, both pol
itical and material 1t is understood
the delegation will be satisfied to have
Puerto Rico treated as Territory
and given a form of government
somewhat like those that prevail in
Arizona, New Mexico and Oklahoma,
with such notifications as the differ
ence in conditions may require.
Puerto Rico is now producing about
90, 600 tons of sugar, With the duty
removed this crop could be increased
to 80, 900 tons, Puerto Rican planters
say, but could not be made to reach
100, 900 tons because of the limited
area that could be devoted to that
crop. 1t is represented that the peo-
pie of the island are in bad way
materially, business being PROSTATE
and the people unable to plan ahead
owing to the uncertainty of the fu-
ture. Once settled policy is decid-
ed upon the people of the island can
adjust themselves to it.

THE beet sugar.interests of the West
ern States engaged in that industry
are opposed to free trade with Puerto
Rico They e.joined in their oppo-
sition by the sugar trust, its inter
ests in this matter coinciding with
those of the beet sugar raisers. The
tobacco raisers of Connecticut and
Ohio also oppose free trade with Puerto
Rico. Some of the most eminent
Republican leaders in Congress are in
favor of treating Puerto Rico as an
integral part of the United States the
same as though it were part of the
mainland. They hold the broad gem
eral principal that this is right to
which the Puerto Ricans are entitled
and insist that it be extended TO them
without delay.

The correspondence the President
will send to Congress in response
to the Senate resolution for informa-
tion relating to the events Immediate
ly preceding the Tagal insurrection
in Luzon, it is understood, will pres
ent Aguinaldo in the light of treach-
erous foe of the United States instead
of an ally, as Senator Pettigrew and
others insist he was. Documentary
proof, it is said, will be forthcoming
that at the very time he was supposed
to be in friendly cooperation with
Admiral Dewey he was really negoti-
ating with General Augustin, the
Spanish commander of Manila, for a
union of forces against the Americans.
These negotiations, it is asserted,
constitute separate chapter from
that covered by Aguinaldo's plot to
massacre all foreigner, American in
cluded, in Manila and confscate their
property. The existence of this proof
of the Tagal chiettain s treachery has
been a sort of open secret, but it is now
for the first time given out with semi
official endorsement. Senator Lodge
is supposed to have been informed of
it's existence before he prepared his
amendments to Senator Hoar's resolu-
ton for information and that he in
formed his venerable colleague of it,
which is said to account for the latter's
ready aequiescence in Lodges amends
ments broadening the scope of the in

A subcommittee of the Ways and
Means Committee is engaged in an
effort to find out exactly what the
term United States as used in the
constitution means, whether it in
cludes Territories, or whether they
are merely territory" or real estate
belonging to the United States to be
dealt with as Congress sees fit, and
whether there is any difference in the
Constitutional status of insular and
continental territory" belonging to
the United States This is impor-
tant in the light of Section of the
Constitution which provides that all
duties, imports and excises shall be
uniform throughout the United
States. 1t is both asserted and de-
MED that this provision applies to the
organized Territories and other terri
torial possessions of the United States
as well as to the States themselves
composing the Union of States.

FINDER OF RICH MINES is POOR.
THE MAN WHO DISCOVERED THE UNITED
VERDE CAN'T PAY HIS FARE BACK
TO HIS OLD HOME.

Prescott, Arz. Aug (Speca).-John Boyd. the
man who discovered the United Verde mines at
Jerome. has started for his old home in Canada
there to remain till the end of his days. At the
age of seventy-flve after long years of frugal in
dustry. Boyd has nothing. Only through the kind
ness of old associate w. S. Head, of Camp
Verde. is he enabled to make the trip that will
take him to his relatives.
Boyd, old California miner. the leader
of a little party of prospectors that entered the
upper Verde Valley in 1876 The very first claims
located the Chrome and Azurite, part
of the United Verde mines. Boyd and his associ-
ates cared little for the copper for railroad
within 12O miles of them. But they found silver in
considerable quantity in the Ventura, an adjoining
claim. They also found the Equator claims. five
miles distant, the same claims that valu
able to-day that ex-senator Clark and Connecti-
cut company have just compromised litigation
over them that cost several hundred thousand dol
lars But Boyd. though the first American miner
In the valley not the first white man to locate
what famed as the United Verde mines
When Boyd and his partners the ODougherty
brothers started develop their find in the little
valley in the Black Hills. they discovered that the
Spanish had been there before them. They found
a curious sort of tunnel that 12O feet into the
mountain. 1t dug In starstep sJyle-in Sec
tions of twenty feet with Intervening drop of
four feet. In niche, about midway in the tunnel
was found a little shrine with a cedar cross. 1t
seemed that the mine had been worked with Indian
implements found We're of rock and obstdian
were found the remains of a rude smelling furnace
IT plain that the original dscoverers had been
driven off murdered by the YaVapai Apaches
that invested the country even up to the time Of
the coming of the Boyd party.
Boyd and the O'Doughertys worked the United
Verde till 1852. when they sold 1T company
headed by Governor Tritle The price paid was
$1,000. The Tritle company put in small smelter
which they ran for year. till, the lower levels,
struck sulphide ore that could not be reduced
in their simple furnace. In 1882 the mine was sold
to Clark for $4,000, sum that represented only
part OF the debts incurred. At the present time
the property Is understood to have d product of
40000000 pounds of copper per beside enough
gold and silver to bring the net profits up about
$ 100000 five per cent interest on valuation of
$l60000000
And John Boyd has gone back to Canada to die
in poverty.
