Go to Brasil to Inspect the Work
There-orgnnizatio of Mexican
synod ApprOved-Claims of For
eign work Before the Youth of
the OBSERVATION-DISCLOSURES Meeting
TO Be at Jackson, Miss.
Little Rock, Ark, May IA test vote
was reached to-day in the Southern Pres
bvterian General Assembly on the ques-
ton OF consenting to the consolidation of
the Northern and Southern Presbyterian
theological seminaries in Kentucky.
Nearly the entire day was devoted to dis
cussing the matter. Late this afternoon
DIR. Winu of Petersburg, Va, offered a
resolution, reciting that while the GEN
eral Assembly may not wholly approve the
wisdom of consolidating the two seminal
ries, yet in view of the practical unan-
unity of the Kentucky and Missouri syn
DDS on the subject, and because of the
safeguards thrown about the compact, the
assembly would interpose no bar to the
consolidation. A motion to table the reso-
luton was lost and further action was
then deferred until tomorrow.
During the morning the subject of for
eign missions was discussed at length
and every resolution of the assembly
committee was adopted, the principal re-
concentrations being: That the executive
committee be directed to send the secre-
tary to Brazil for the purpose of exam
lining the condition of our work and of
bringing about some settlement of the
Compinas property; that we cordially ap-
prove the organization of the synod of
Mexico and appoint as delegate to said
body Rev. J. H. McNeily, D. D., of
Nashville; the executive committee is au-
thorized to secure such help as may be
necessary in the furtherance of the work,
that they be urged to use all proper
means to arouse the deeper interest of
the church in this great movement, and
that they make special efforts to keep
before the youth, particularly in the col
leges and serninaries, the claims OF the
Lord upon their service in foreign lands
that we approve the suggestion of the
executive committee that the mainten-
ence of the Congo boat be laid as a spe-
cial object of work upon our Sabbath
schools.
The report recommends that the rails
ing Of the secretary's salary be left en-
tirely with the Executive Committee and
that the committee for the coming year
be composed as follows:
L. H. Chester D. D.. ]. H. McNully,

ANTI-P0oLING THE CAUSE.
Jacob II. schiff Tells What Brought
About Railroad Combination

Jacob III. schiff Tells What Brought
About Railroad Combination.
New York. May 22.-Jacob H. Schiff was
the first witness to-day before the sub
committee of the United States Indus
trial commission. Replying to questions,
Mr.. Schiff said his firm, Kuhn, Loeb &
Co., had been largely interested in the
reorganization of the Union Pacific and
Baltimore and Ohio Railroads.
1T is a matter of common knowledge"
Col. Clarke, the presiding officer, said,
that great movements are going on in
the principal railroads. Can you describe
to US, without giving away any business
secrets, the methods employed and the
objects expected to be derived2"
Il presume" replied the witness, ''you
are referring to the community of inter
est movement. The owners of railroads
are forced to take steps to protect them
selves against the decentralization and
consequent depression of value of prop
erty brought about by anti-pooling legis-
iation. 1t is human nature that every
man tries to get ahead of his neighbor.
AS consequence when one carrier makes
rate Of transportation, the shipper goes
to competing road to cut under that
rate"
And the RESULT"
This has been more dangerous to the
weaker interests of the country than any
possible advantage derived from anti
pooling legislation"
What is the method of establishing
this community of INTEREST,"
If one road is injuring the other by
reducing it's rate of transportation and
the other road has to meet the cut, it
stands to reason that the earnings of both
are less. Thus the property suffers and
railroad men are unable to pay high
wages to their working force. Now if the
stockholders of one road hold the stock
in the other, not necessarily the control
ling interest, they will not vote to take
any action to reduce the values of their
holdings. That is what is known by the
term community of interest"
DO you think this community of inter
est will be carried so far as TO bring
into harmony all the railroads of the coun-
try?"
Il am not a railroad man." replied the
witness, but l think even a railroad man
would tell you that is too big proposition
to be a subject of prophecy
Would there be a willingness on the
railroads to have the railroads subject
to a supervision that will be effectual for
the protection of the peoples rights?'
Il have no idea that there would be any
objection 10 such supervision. I think it
would be courted by all the financial in
terests."

Sore throat has many names. Some
call 1t catarrh of the pharynx. 1t Is also
called chronic tonsilIts. Follicular
pharyngitis Is the name that doctors de-
light to call Il, as they generally prefer
the longer words. Public speakers ana
preachers are so prone to have sore
throat that 1t is sometimes called
preachers sore throat.
1t makes little difference what name
we call it-just plain sore throat Is hard
enough to bear without INDUCING In
long names. Chronic sore throat gener-
ally begins by a scratching sensation in
the throat, and there may be a little dry
ness or constant desire to keep swallow
ing. Painful swallowing and hawking
is sure to come later IL nothing is done
for 1t.
Sore throat is almost certain after It
has become chronic, to gradually extend
downward to the lungs. When this hap
pens consumption is often the result.
The time to cure sore throat is in Its
early stages. A bottle or two of Peruna
is sure to put a stop TO the whole thing.

AN ORDNANCE COMBINE.
Manufa cturers Will Unite to Bleed
Uncle Sam.

Uncle Sam.
New York, May 22.-The Herald will
say tomorrow:
The information has leaked out that an
American ordnance and navy armament
syndicate is forming, which will consist
of the Driggs-Seabury Gun and Ammuni-
ton Company of Derby Conn, and the
American Ordnance Company, controlled
by Charles R. Flint of this city. This
proposed new company it is stated, will
not be identified with the Cramps-Vick-
ers-Bethlehem Company, and 1t is the in
tention of it's management to operate the
company in direct competition with the
long projected Anglo-American gun and
shipbuilding combination.
The first step toward the formation of
the company was taken some weeks ago
when the control of the Driggs-Seabury
Gun and Ammunition Company passed
into the hands of financial syndicate in
which c. r. Flint and c. Williams are
interested. No formal merger of the two
companies has as yet taken place, nor is
there likely to be a complete consolida-
ton of the two companies for some time
TO come as other and more extensive
plans are pending, which, it is stated,
must mature before the actual CONSOLE
dation takes place. The capital stock of
the briggs Seabury Company is $1,000, 900
and arrangements have been made to
increase the capital stock to $1,000, 600.
1t was learned yesterday in connection
with the consolidation of the Cramps and
the Vickers-MaXim companies and the
purchase of the controlling interest in the
Bethlehem Steel Company that the gun
and ordnance department of the English
concern, and not the complete plant,
would be bought. This report was con-
firmed by Henry Seligman, of ]. & w.
Seligman e. Co., who is a director of the
Cramp ShipbuiAding Company.
