a repetition Of the journey to the yard.
There was the same wild demonstra-
ton from sea and shore; but on the
way back the Slocum passed in formal
review before the warships. The presi-
dent, with secretary Long at his side,
stood at the wheel house during this
parade. AS each ~sfship was passed
the Jackies made q blue hedge about
the ship as they stood at the rails
shoulder-to-shoulder. The marine guard
aft presented arms and the President
got the four trumpet fiourishes and
drum ruffies to which he is entitled as
commander-in-chiefo Of the navy.
AS the Slocum sailed by the Wiscon-
sin. which was flying the two starred
blue pennant Of a rear admiral at the
peak, Admiral Casey and his staff like
rigid statues, stood on the bridge with
their hands touching their caps at
salute.
When the Slocum came alongside
her wharf the President did not wait
for the gangway to be run out He
stepped over the rail to the pier and
almost ran to the carriage which was
waiting for him. The door slammed
and he was of at a gallop for the bed

Little Rock, May 1S.-Two hundred
commissioners were present at today's
session of the Southern Presbyterian
general assembly
Separate reports We're presented from
the ad interim committee on the revis-
ion of the church law on ecclesiastical
commissions.
DR.. r. c. Reed presented a report
taking strong grounds against delegat-
ing power of the general assembly to
a commission to act in the interregnum
between the annual meetings of the
general assembly.
Judge Joseph W. Martin, of Little
Rock, submitted the contrary report,
recommending a substitute for section
Z chapter 5, of the church laws, en-
bracing paragraphs 92, SO and "a.
The two reports were docketed and
made a special order for Monday
morning.
Rev. r. P. Kerr, of Richmond, Va,
from the ad interim committee ap-
pointed to prepare a catechism on the
church, submitted a report with the
explanation that the committee had
endeavored to make the catechism har-
monize with the constitution of the
church and adhering to accepted prin-
ciples and usages of the church, avoid
ing such matters as might be subject
to change. Consideration of the re-
port was set for Monday.
DR.. F. r. Beattie, of Louisville, KY,
as chairman, reported a plan for a
more efficient provision for aged and
infirm ministers. The committee re-
commends that a separate executive
committee of seven active business men
be created to take oversight of the
whole work, the committee to have a
salaried secretary and that all minis
ters whose names are on the rolls of
the presbyteries, whether laboring at
home or in the foreign field, shall be
eligible to the benefits of the fund for
themselves and their families. The
committee recommends the desirabili-
ty of establishing ministers rates or
a scale of fees which each minister
shall pay annually to the fund in order
to obtain full participation in it's bene-
fits, those not paying to derive only a
partial benefit. The committee ex-
presses its well defined judgment that
in caring for disabled ministers the
Presbyterian church is far behind other
churches. The report was made a ene-
cial order for Tuesday.
Three reports were made from the
ad interim committee on a graded svs-
tenn of Bible study. Two of the reports
reiterate dissatisfaction with the pres
ent international lesson plan.
DR.. E. c. Murray's report recon-
mends the changes suggested by DR..
Chiselen in his report as to the three
fold, five year cycle and adoption Of
the scheme of studies presented in his
table
All the reports were docketed and the
assembly adjourned to Monday MORN
ing in order to permit the various COM
mittees to deliberate.
Greetings were sent to the Presbyte-
rian general assembly at Philadelphia
and to the Cumberland Presbyterian
general assembly at West Point, Miss.

Racing in England

London. May 1S--Richard Croker is
paying little attention to New York
affairs at present, finding ample pleas
ure and profit in the British turf. Those
who saw him at the Galwick and New
Market races this week, described him
as thoroughly enraptured with racing
and horse breeding. First under
Johnnie Reiff and then under Lester
'Reiff, Mr.. Croker's 5-year-old bay gel
ding Harrow, purchased for $1,000 in
1900, has, within fortnight, won e1,-
700 in stakes and was freely backed
by the American contingent on both ac-
,casions at substantial odds.
Harrow's success is regarded as an
other triumph for American trainer
ship, which has worked a miraculous
Improvement in the horses.
Mr.. Croker is taking a great delight
in his Vantage breeding farm, which
he has much beautified and where he
lis having much success with foals.

Memphis. Tenn. May 1S.-It is very

2Sth. 18th, and 30th of May, make appli-
cation at once for places where they
can be accommodated.
The committee on hotels and accom-
modations has made complete can
vass Of the city. and they feel justified
in saying that they have plenty Of room
for everyone who will visit Memphis,
either in private houses, or in public
buildings. where cots with pillows,
sheets and blankets will be furnished,
and where visitors can be made very
comfortable. but it is very important
that the committee on information
should know at once about how many
people are coming, and the committee
earnestly hopes that the people will not
wait until the last moment. when they
will then come with rush just before
the reunion. when it will be impossible
to wait on them.
Hotel rates have neither been chang
ed noradvanced.
In order to supply the overflow from
the various hotels, restaurants and
lunch counters. preparations have been
completed to furnish first-class break
fasts. dinners. and suppers uneer large

London, May 1S.--The draft of Sec
retary Hays proposals for a new Mic
aragua treaty were received from
Lord Pauncefote by the last mail. 1t
is a voluminous document and is being
printed previous to examination and
discussion. 1t is described as a draft
of the Hay-Pauncefote treaty with
what appear, from a casual perusal to
be extensive annotations. Several
weeks are likely to elapse before the
cabinet can commence its preliminary
discussions.
The dispatches relative to the posi-
bility Of the substitution of the Pana-
ma isthmian route are read with inter-
est in Downing street. The Associaed
Press learns that agents Of the Pana-
ma Company have not approached the
British government, but that if the
United States should think it advisable
to complete the Panama canal the de-
cision would be hailed with no little
satisfaction at the foreign office as be-
ing an easy way out of the present con-
llONSISy however. the brlllSn OIL
cials are without any accurate knowl-
edge of the forms offered by the Pan
anna people and they incline to the be-
lief that financial and other difficulties
will probably prevent the United States
from adopting this solution of the af-
fair.
Washington, May 1S.-The papers
just received at the British foreign Of
flee in reference to an isthmian canal
treaty are those forwarded by Lord
Paunce fote about ten days ago.
In authoritative quarters, it is stated
that these consist mainly of a memoir
andum in which Mr.. Hay indicates on
what lines treaty should be drawn
in order to meet the views of the Unit
ed States senators with whom he has
conferred. This concurs with the Lon
don view that the papers cover the
draft of proposals for a treaty, rather
than a treaty itself, as the written
memorandum is regarded as chiefly
tentative. With this paper before
them, the British officials can readily
perceive within what lines it will be
necessary to frame a treaty in order
to secure it's ratification by the SEN
ate.

Albany. y. Y, May 1S.-The great
railroad strike lasting twelve days, re-
quiring the presence of 5000 members
Of the national guard in the city. cost
ing the lives of two prominent mer-
chants and entailing an expense TO the
county OF Albany OF over $50. 900. is
amicably settled. and IL the agreements
are kept, there will be no trouble for
three years at least.
The ominous calm which succeeded
the killing OF two inoffensive citizens
two days ago by national guardsmen
defending property. was succeeded
this afternoon and evening by hyster-
ical enthusiasm, when public bell
towers and city newspapers proclaim
ed that the twelve days strike on the
street railways Of five cities had BEEN
settled.
Flags flying from public and private
ated with bunting and the nationar
emblem, citizens carrying small flags
in their hands and enthusiastic youths
and otherwise dignified citizens chas-
ing after the cars. marked some OF the
earlier scenes of the afternoo2.
The repair wagon left the traction
companys barn with its own old Union
crew aboard and going along the
streets received an ovation. It was
decorated with flags and escorted by
a joyful crowd, very different from the
angry mob that had followed the cars
the last few days.
Tonight several Of the lines are nm
ming in this city and all OF then III J
the other cities. and by noon tomorI ow
all the lines will be running on sched-
ule time with Union men.
The first indication of the settler enr
OF the strike came at an early hour this
morning from Troy where IL was an
nounced that the Troy division of the
railway employees Union had decided
to sign the agreement presented at
last nights conference. Following this ,
notification the other divisions met in .
Albany, and after they had signed, the
Traction Company officers signed II
and at IL o'clock this morning IL be-
came binding.
AS is usual, both sides to the CON-
troversy claim the credit. From the
face OF the agreement 1t is evident that
the striking men won these concessions:
Increasing night mems and extra
mems wages TO 20 cents per hour
Granting men the right Of appeal
from a decision Of an inspector or the
superintendent to the Traction Conn.

The road TO pay an employe for

The traction people obtained these
concessions:

hliation or otherwise with q Union"
That no Proposition to strike shan
be acted upon until forty-eight hours
