Assembly in Philadelphia.

Philadelphia, May 22.-That creed revision is the leading issue of the Presbyterian General Assembly was strongly evidenced during today's ses- sion when almost every speaker took occasion to mention the subject during the course of his address.
 Shortly before adjournment Rev. Richard Holmes of Pittshurg, startled the commissioners by launching into a discussion of the question, but when he stopped long enough to announce that he was simply leading up to a point in connection with his appeal for assistance in removing the mortgage from the New York Presbyterian build. ing, no obection was offered. A mo- ton was made to hold the meetings of the assembly during the debate on revision at the Academy of Music. but was not acted upon, as the order of tho day took precedence.
 The Committee on Church Polity pre- sented a report containing numerous decisions on overtures submitted by various Presbyteries. A factional dis turbance in the church of the Covenant at Williamsport, Pa., which had been referred to the judicial commission, was ordered tried according to the pro- visions of the book of discipline.
 Tn a stirring address Robert K. Spcer.. of New York. secretary of the Board of Foreign Missions, defended the missionaries against the "Malig- nant and venomous criticism which he said. they had suffered since the Boxer uprising in China.
 Several foreign missionaries made brief addresses while the report on the commission on foreign missions was under discussion.

 ..First-we are surprised at the severe punishment we have received for what we have never considered very serious offense..
 'Second-The manner in which we were summarily dismissed from the grounds of our cherished institution after three years of labor was more surprising to us.
 ''Third-we have not the slightest knowledge of the evidence that has been obtained against us. nor the names of the witnesses; for we have not had an open trial such as Is known to military custom. We would not feel dissatisfied if it had been by the decfs- ion of a court martial"

into consideration.
 T believe 1t is necessary for the dis ctpline of the corps of cadets that the leaders in the characterization be sep arated from the academy for good. To permit them to remain under any promise of reformation would, in my Judgment. be mistake and might in- volve very serious consequences. The academy cannot afford to have any repetition of hazing or other outbreaks. The present demonstration plainly ex- hibits among its leaders total lack of appreciation of their responsibilities and obligations. entirely inexcusable among cadets finishing their third year at the military academy" It was made very plain at the War Department today that the department intends to stand by the superintendent in dealing with the cadets. The con- test at West Point was declared to he between two systems, one the deter imitation of the cadets to run the acad- emy and establish a code of morals and conduct of their own and espe- cially in regard to the fourth-class men. The other was the determination of the authorities to regulate the con-. duct of the academy in accordance with what was deemed the best military government and which would result in the best system of education for the cadets relative to their future duties.
 Have Returned to Their Homes.
 West Point, N. r.. May 22.-The cadets who were today dismissed from the military academy and those whom were suspended have all departed for their respective homes. There was no demonstration on the part of the other cadets and all is quiet here tonight. There Is not likely to be an uprising among the commands of those rele- gated to civil life. as was anticipated from some sources. There is a dis tinction between dismissal and dis charge from the military academy. When a cadet is dismissed it is final and he can be only re-instated by a special act of Congress. He also for feits his travel pay. In the case of a discharge, a cadet may re-enter the academy by a disappointment with the approval of the academy board. There are no words of censure for the course Colonel Mills has taken in his effort to maintain discipline.

COOPER MAKES
A NEW DEFENSE
Raises Important Point
in the Perjury
Case.
Alleges That the Grand
Jurors Were Illegally
Drawn.

When Sir Harry Westwood Cooper,
alias Ernest Moore Chadwick, appeared
before Judge Cook yesterday to plead To
the charge of perjury against him COM
mitted during his trial for forgery in
Judge Lawlor's court, Attorney Murphy
made a motion to dismiss the Indictment
of the Grand Jury, raising an important
point on behalf of the defendant.
He claimed that the Grand Jury that
found the indictment had been illegally
drawn by Judge Dunno on June 3 last.
The statute provided that not more than
thirty names should be drawn from the
Murphy contends, Judge Dunno instruct
ed County Clerk Deane, while selecting
the grand Jurors, to draw all OF the 1OO
names from the box. The Judge then
marked them OFF on a list of the names
as they were called out by the County
Clerk. This procedure has been declared
illegal by the Supreme Court. Murphy
contended, therefore, that as the Grand
Jury had been illegally selected it had no
power to return the indictment against
the defendant.
Chief Deputy Goddard was called and
ing the 100 names for grand jurors and
County Clerk Deane testified that he had
been instructed by Judge Dunno to break
the seal of the box and remove all the
slips, the Judge checking OF the names
as he called them out. The Judge then
selected the nineteen grand Jurors, 1t
was done in open court and by instruc-
tion Of the Judge.
The point raised took the District At
torney by surprise and by consent the
further argument on the motion to dis
miss was continued till Tuesday to give
the District Attorney an opportunity to
look carefully into the matter.
Attorney Murphy was successful in car
rying his motion to dismiss the previous
indictment against Cooper for perjury
committed at the first trial of the for
gerry charge before Judge Cook, and he
believes he will be equally successful in
the case at bar.

BEWARE OF
COUGHSand CATARRH
At THIS SEASON OF THE YEAR.
How to Prevent and Cure
Them.

People who are subject to coughs or
suffering from catarrh even in It's mild
est forms should protect themselves
against catching cold now, for more cases
Of consumption are contracted in October
and November than at any other time
during the year. Just at this season the
sputa of consumptfves expectorated in the
streets Of every city and town during the
summer has become thoroughly dried
and. teeming with germs OF the disease,
is taken up into the air by the fall winds
and inhaled by every living person
If the air passages are in healthy con-
ditiOn there is no danger, but let them
become infamed by coughs and catarrhs
then these germs find lodgment on the in
famed surfaces, multiply with astonish-
ing rapidity and the disease consumption
is contracted.
Heretofore the public well the
medical profession have been at loss to
prevent this terrible disease, but now that
Government statistics and health reports
have shown there is q Way, and only
one, every person who contracts the dis
ease has only himself to blame for tina
consequences.
1t has now been settled beyond all dis
pute that the new Dry-Air Germicide
HYOMEI will cure consumption, and
that coughs, catarrh, bronchitis and other
diseases of the respiratory organs cannot
exist where it is used. HYOMEI protects
and cures by destroying the germs which
cause the disease, and which cannot be
reached by stomach medicines. Every
weak lunged or catarrh affected person
should use it daily.
HYOMEI is sold by all druggists or
sent by mail for the following prices:
