 T know of one instance not long ago where an old minister 70 years old dIed and had to be given a pauper's funeral, in a church where there were over sev- enty millionaires.'
 It was agreed that the report would be. discussed again next week.
 A special committee was appointed to look Into the question of the Merriam House of the Presbyterian Church at Perth Amboy, N. J. There had been some question of closing the home and the report had advised that this be done and that the ministers who are there now should be transferred to another home. There was sone difference of opln- ion among the commissioners, so the matter was laid aside for further dis- cussion.
 The Vice Moderator then announced the names of the Committee on Evangelistlc Work. The chairman is J. H. Baldwin of Philadelphia

DEPRECATEs BARBARITY.
President Roosevelt Intends to Pun
 ish All Who Are Guilty.

Boston. May MA letter from President Roosevelt, in which he states his intention to discover and punish every instance of bar parity by United States troops in the Philip pines, has been made public by Bishop William Lawrence of the Episcopal Diocese of Massa- chusetts. It was written in reply to a com munication from the Bishop, sent by direc- ton of the convention of the diocese to place before the President resolutions eondemninG alleged cruelties and expressing confidence in the American Army. Tn the letter he says:
 White House, Washington, May g, 1902. Personal-I hope 1t is unnecessary to say that no one in the country can be more anxious than. am-save, perhaps, Secretary Root-to discover and punish every instance of bar parity by our troops in the Philippines. In reference to these cruelties I agree with every word in your address No provocation. how ever great, can be accepted as an excuse for misuse of the necessary severity of war, and above all for torture of any manner or shape. Long before any statements had been made public and before any action had been taken by Congress. the War Department had ordered a rigid investigation of certain of the charges, including the charges of Major Gardener; the orders of investigation as regards these par ticular charges having gone out over three months ago. The investigation will be of the most thorough and sweeping character and, if necessary, will be made by the civil as well as by the military representatives of the Gov ernment in the islands. I have directed that the courts martial be held under conditions which will give me the right of review"

Clisby, who was one of the organizers and for many years comnander Of the company. Private Jules McCree of the about the face by the discharge.
 It was at first thought that Sergeant Downs's wounds were dangerous and that he would probably lose his eye If not his arm Later reports from'his bedside last night say that both fears are groundless and that he will recover from the effects of the accident without permanent in- jury either to his eye or bis arm. Pri- vate McCree was only slightly burned about the neck and face.
 The accident occurred almost directly after the body of Captain Clisby had been confined to the grave. It was in tended to fire salute of three guns in his honor. The gun selected to be used for that purpose was the Napoleon six pounde- the oldest piece of ordnance among the excellent equipment of the Artillery company. This gun had seen service during the Mexican war. over half a century ago. It was also part of the equipment of Semple's Battery during the war between the States. of which organ ization Captain Clisby was a member.
 The squad to fire the salutes was in command of Sergeant W. T. Downs, the oldest and most experienced non-commis- stoned officer in the company. The firing party consisted of Sergeant Downs, Cor poral F. L. Gartman, Charles Rembert, T. N. Smith. Richard Howe. and Jules McCree The cannon was located on the crest of a hill In the cemetery to the north of the grave where the exercises had taken place.
 The first charge was fired successfully. The powder for the second charge was rammed home by Sergeant Downs. He stood directly in front of the mouth of the cannon and piled the rammer. Pri- vate McCree was at the rear of the piece with his thumb over the vent Suddenly from the cannon's mouth. Sergeant Downs was almost directly in front of 1t He threw up his hand and staggered backwards. his face burned and black ened. his eyes blinded and one arm al most useless.

Presdent Mitchell Says That It is rp 70 the Operators to Bring About End of the
 Trouble.

Secretary of the National Civic Federation. lends col or e the reports which have been eur rent for tho past few days that the Civic Federation Is making an effort to termi- nae the ithracite coal miners strike Mr Easoy and President Mitchell, of the United Mine Workers. immediately went Into confere nee behind closed doors.
 secretary Easley was met at the rail- road station by the correspondent. of the Associated Press. to whom he stated that his visit was for the purpose of looking over the ground. He said he brought no message fro.a Senator Hanna or any oth- CT member of the Civic Federation. The conference lasted until Il o'clock. MT. Easley said that MT. Mitchell informed him of what had transpired here during the past week. He said MT. Mitchell hau no plans to submit to the Federation and that he carried no message back to Sem ator Hanna or any other member of the Civic Federation.
 It Is understood that the District Pres idents of the three anthracite districts are in communication with the Presidents of the bituminous districts for the purpose of getting two of them 10 make up five necessary to call national convention to cOuSf0tT tue doViSdpiiity o1 Souink Out tiic soft coal miners. It Is thought the West Virginia districts will agree to the as- sembling of such a convention. Reports received at strike headquarters today were to the effect that the strike order will be carried out to the letter.
 The regions hereabouts were very quiet today and everyone Is patiently awaiting developments. President Mitchell says he has had no communication with anyone regarding the settlement of the strike. He has received no word. he said. from Sen" ator Hanna or any other member of the Civic Federation.
 'The operators have refused our de- mand," he continued. We have quit work and 1t Is now up to the other side. ing developments. The mine owners in this region say that they have shut down indefinitely and will not attempt to start up their colleries. They feel that enough men could be secured from the miners ranks to partially resume work. but this they. fear would bring on strife which they declare they want to avert.
 again besieged for their opinion on the plan of the anthracite men to call out the soft coal workmen. They reiterate that it would be difficult to accomplish such thing There might be sporadic strikes, but not general suspension.
 Herman Justi of Chicago, President Of the Illinois Coal Operators Association: said he believed the soft coal men would generally aid their fellowmen In this re- zion mainly in financial way. He says the Illinois system of treating with the miners and entering into an agreement with the union is the best now existing and he would like to see the anthracite miners and the coal operators adopt the same system here.

 Messrs Perry and Fender were seen today, but both refused to talk further than to admit that the transfer had bene made and that the same company had secured an option on the Selma wa terworks now in the hands of private parties.

SOUTHERN ASSEMBLY.
WorR of the Presbyterian Church in
 the United States.

Jackson. Miss, May 17.-Dr. Russell Ce- cil of Virginia, presided today at the Church in the United States this morn- ing.
 Dr. Hemphill of Louisville. called up the report made at the last assembly on the consolidation of Danville and Louis vile seminaries into the Kentucky Theo- logical seminaries under the agreement that the consolidation was not to be ef- fective until endorsed by the synods of Kentucky and Missouri and by the Gen eral Assembly. While reflecting on no one Dr. Hemphill doubted the responsibility of the Assembly in giving its consent.
 Dr. Walden of Georgia. opposed the consolidation. giving several reasons.
 pr. Hemphill insisted that the two sy- mods had a right to consolidate if they desired. The matter was dropped for the present. and the Assembly heard the re- port of the Committee on Sabbath Ob- servance. It declared that the Sabbath Is slowly. but surely losing its hold upon the public conscience
 As was reported last year, there was no encouraging sign of improvement. In fact the report said that advices from Presbyteries were more gloomy than ever.
 Sunday travel and traffic excursions. social visiting frequenting postothces. re- ceiving and answering letters was in dulged in. Sunday newspapers are grad ually extending the area of their patron age and Sunday in many States is as oth- CT days only. The importance of obeying the fourth commandment was urged. The report closes: Tt remains for us only to ask the Assembly to impress it upon the minds and hearts of our people that Sabbath desecration is not the trifiing offense as some are disposed to regard 1t. but in the sight of God. it's desecra- tion is a great sin. and which like the wedge of God and Babylonish garments of old. will most assuredly bring defeat to the hosts of Israel and the Judgment of God upon the nation that thus rebels against His authority"
 Dr. Walden offered a resolution to leave the matter of seminary Jurisdiction to a special committee of five to report at this Assembly.
 Dr. Leavell of Texas. and others, urged that a permanent committee could attend to 1t and offered a substitute. Dr. Wal den's motion prevailed. The Assembly then adjourned until Monday. 70
