COLUML is, O., May pat to-

Congress a decided sensation arose over
the nominations of the Ohio branch.
1t was only ended by the delegates in
dulging in a silent prayer.
Mrs. Theodore Birney, president of
the National Congress, delivered her
annual address at the opening of the
session, speaking on The Duty of
Mother to the Child" Mrs. Chapman,
of New York; Mrs. D. O.. Mears, of Al
bany, and Mrs. Edwin C. Grice of New

Nominations were then called for in
the organization of the Ohio branch.
Mrs. z. NJ. Hatton and Mrs. Lydia Coon
Brown, Mrs. John Milford, Mrs. Jas.
R. Hopley, Mrs. Charles G. Pavey and
Mrs. Stephen r. Clark were named. All
declined with the exception of Mrs.
Hatton, and it Don appeared that there
was opposition to Mrs. Hatton. which
was of a personal nature. Much ex-
element ensued in the auditorium.
Mrs. Schaeffer, of Pennsylvania, de-
clared that she was ashamed of Ohio.
Others followed in the same line. The
Ohio women promptly defended them
selves and Mrs. Hatton suggested
three minutes of silent prayer, which
was followed by the recitation of the
Lords prayer in concert. Mrs. Hatton
then resigned from the contest and a
truce was declared by the calling of an

PASSED THROUGH HOSPITAL
n GAVE WORDS OF CHEER AND
ENCOURAGEMENT TO
THE SICK.

SAN FRANCISCO, May 23.-Presi-
dent Mckinley spent a fairly busy day.
After breakfasting at the residence of
Irving Z. Scott, he returned to his tenn
porary home and received a delegation
of Federal officials. The reception was
very informal and lasted twenty min
utes.
President Mckinley asked these Of
f1cials to provide a position for an old
man named Ritter. who served in his
regiment during the civil wa. Mr..
Ritter lost a leg in battle and is now
a resident OF San Leandro. The Presi-
dent remarked that this was the first
appointment he had asked for. and
hoped his old comrade would be pro-
vided for. The officials promised to
grant the request.
The most important event of the day
came next. 1t was the Presidents visit
to the Preside, where he reviewed the
45th and 46th volunteer infantry regi-
ments, just returned from the Philip
pines to be mustered out of service.
When the President mounted the re-
viewing stand. the soldiers cheered him
which he acknowledged with much feel
ing.
The President next visited the general
hospital. went through every sick ward
bowling and speaking words of cheer to
every sick soldier.
In the attention the President was
the guest of honor at the reception OF
the Union League Club, the Ohio So
ciety of California, the Mexican War
Veterans. Pioneers and Native Sons,
The latter three societies presented him
with a paper weight containing $3.50
worth of gold. At each reception the
President responded briefly to presen-
tation speeches.
On his way to dinner President Nc
Kinley stopped at Union Square and
turned over the first shovelful of sod.
where the monument to the American
navy in commemoration Of Admiral
Dewey's victory at Manila bay is to be
erected.
President Mckinley attended the re-
ception tonight given in his honor by

CLEVELAND, O., May 23.-George
Gould and his associates, who control
the Wabash, Wheeling & Lake Erie,
and a number of western lines, are try
ing to gain an entrance to New York.
and in doing so are coming violently
into collision with the Vanderbilt in
terests, who, to protect themselves,
have made further purchases of Lacka-
wanna stock and have allotted the Le-
high Valley to 49, Lake Shore to buy
in.
In order to further cripple their adj
versary, the Michigan Central is to be
allotted the Glover Leaf, which is soon
to be sold, according to reports. Con-
nected with this will be the Detroit &
Lima Northern and the Ohio Southern.
the latter three roads to be collected
soon into one organization.
To further carry out this plan of dis
aDllng this promising adversary in the
eastern neld and to make Mr.. Gould
contented with his western possessions,
the Vanderbilt and Pennsylvania lines
will be bidders for the Eel River rail-
road, which o forms one of the
prominent connections OF the Wabash
in its line between ST. Louis and Buff
falo.
All of this came out through the re-
port that tue Gould interests were try
ing to buy The Lackawanna to get into
New York. 1t is learned now. and it
has been definitely known before,
that when Mr.. Sloan retired some time
ago and Mr.. T%ruesdale was made pres
ident, the Vanderbilt and Morgan in
terests purchased control of that road.
This they have held secretly, the gem
eral supposition being that Lackawan-
ma was an Independent interest which
was hard to control. 1t has been held
as an important factor in the future
situation, for none knew how it was to
lean. Mr.. Gould is credited with trying
to gain control of the road to give him
the coveted eastern outlet. 1t is said
that he offered 10 abandon the Pitts
burg field if allowed uuGisputed pos
session of this road, which was refused,
as the Pennsylvania lines believe they
have the Gould system effectively
blocked out of Pittburg without such a
concession, the Typographical situation
in the territory to be travers5d coming
valiantly to their aid.

CHARLESTON, w. Va, May 23.-
The most remarkable food in many
years has occurred in the Kanawha and
New River valleys within the past "a
hours. The crest of the rise reached
Charleston to-day at 1890 p. M, when
the stage was 3S.5 feet.
The freshet is unprecedented and was
totally unexpected. The ordinary rain
fall in this section on Tuesday caused
nc alarm, but on Wednesday afternoon
the flood in the New River occasioned
by the unusually heavy rains in North
Carolina, Tennessee and Virginia be-
gan to pour into the Kanawha and that
stream rose with almost ~unequalled
rapidity.
All possible warning was given out
from the government engineers Office
here, but despite this fact the flood
caught hundreds of families in the low
lying sections of the city and they were
forced to fee from the rapidly rising
waters.
a. AIN hlQAISApdl UullQll6S
are all well filled with food sufferers.
From all along the Kanawha river
come reports of destruction by the food.
During the day many houses have pass
ed down the stream, having been torn
from their foundations In low places.
The Monarch coal tipple Is badly
damaged and the tipple at Big Noun
tain is practically ruined. Loaded coal
barges have been lost from points along
the route of the food.
Through trains Nos. / and 3 from the
east on the Chesapeake & Ohio were
from eight to ten hours late TODAY. and
the kanawha & Michigan could get no
trains out of here to-day, their tracks
being under water.
By tomorrow however, it is thought
traffic will have resumed normal con-
ditions.
The only loss of life reported was
an unknown man seen to pass Hinton.
The Kanawha is receding slowly, hev-
ing fallen about n foot up to s p. m.

PRESBY1ER|ANS GROW
ELOQUENT ON REVISION.
AS AFFECTING VERY FOUN-
DATION OF THE CHURCH.
DISCUSSED WITHOUT RANCoR.
THE CHURCH INADEQUATE TO AC-
COMMODATE THE HUNDREDS
WHO WANTED TO HEAR.

PHILADELPHIA, May 23.-With
~eloquence born of the solemn import
ance of the question, the commission
ers TO the Presbyterian General Assem-
bly, to-day began the debate On the re-
vision of the confession of faith.
Brilliant leaders of the church ad-
vanced their views in a calm. dispas-
sionaie name and the entire discus
sion was devoid of acrimony. With full
realization of the great importance of
the subject the assembly proceeded to
every detail of the proposed change in
the creed.
Calvary church was not large enough
to accommodate the throngs who
clamored for admission. Many of the
spectators did not leave the church dur
ing the noon recess. Although fire.
q~uently requested to avoid demonstra-
lions, the audience repeatedly applaud
ed the speakers. Among the specta-
tors were many clergymen of other de-
nominations.
The great question came before the
assembly with the reading of the re-
port of the committee on revision by
DR.. Charles A. Dickie, chairman. This
was followed by the minority report
read by Rev. DR.. William McKibben, of
Cincinnati.
A rule Of the assembly gives chair
men the right to speak on their reports
after they have been received, but be-
fore DR.. Dickey could secur recogni-
; ton, Rev. Or. Samuel ]. Niceolls moved
the adoption of the first recommends
ton in both.
Rev. James d. Moffatt made a sub
stitute motion to adopt the majority
report and an amendment was offered
substituting the minority. Rev. Or.
| George d. Baker, presented as another
| amendment a resolution to the effect
that as the vote OF the P~resbyters indi-
Gated a lack of unanimity the entire
subject be dismissed. DR., Dickey Sc
cured the floor on this amendment and
made a stirring address supporting the
old confession. Rev. DR.. Herrick john
son and Rev. DR.. Samuel J. Niccolls
aroused the unbounded enthusiasm OF
the audience by their brilliant presen-
tations of the revision factions reasons
for desiring a change.
Rev. DR.. George 4. Purves spoke
against revision, as did Rev. Or. George
D. Baker. DR.. McKibben favored a
modified change. There are 250 com
m~issioners committed t. dismissal, but
they have expressed themselves as open
to conviction.
