TO CONFER UPON
QUESTION OF UNION
RECOMMENDED AT MOBILE.
GENERAL ASSEMBLY MAY NAME 4
COMMITTEE.

such Committee Would Take Up the
Matter of Closer Relations With
other Churches and Report to the
Next Meeting of the General As
sembly-Next Year the General
Assembly VIII Meet at Fort
Worth.
Mobile, Ala. May 24-Followng is
the report of the Committee on Closer
Relations submitted to-day before the
general assembly of the Presbyterian
Church in the United States in this
city.
Your committee respectfully states
that it has carefully considered the
various overtures and memorials from
synods and other Presbyterian churches
asking the appointment of committees
to confer with committees from other
churches on the bringing about of
closer relations and cooperation be-
tween the various reformed and Pres
byterian churches. We have also con-
sidered memorial from the Presby-
terry of Nashville, asking this assem-
bly, to assure our sister churches of
our willingness to confer on the sub
ject of closer relations whenever such
conference would be likely to result
IN closer fellowship. We have had for
our careful consideration overtures
from the Presbyteries of Arkansas and
the Red River, asking the appointment
of a committee to confer with a COM
mittee of the Presbyterian Church in
the United States of America, looking
to closer relations with that church.
1--WE have considered also a commu-
nication from the Reformed Church in
America (Dutch), expressing their will
ingness to confer with a committee
from our church on closer relations
with US, and also overtures from our
Presbyteries of Durant, Wilmington,
Tuscaloosa and North Alabama, ask
ing US to appoint a committee of con-
ference with the Reformed Church in
America. We have also given due con-
sderation to the action of the Pres
byterian Church in the United States
of America, resembling all former ex-
pressions of the general assemblies, re-
fiecting on the Christian character of
our church and, this, with a view to
removing all obstacles to closer rela-
lions between the two churches.
our committee recognizes Uhat
there is not only in our church, but also
in other churches holding Presbyterian
Reformed Calvinistic sylnpathies, a
very general and strong desire for clos
or relations.
1--WE, therefore. recommend that this
assembly, wishing to promote close"
fraternity in a spirit of love and candor,
appoint a committee of six ministers
and three ruling elders, which commit
tee shall be named by the moderato',
who shall be authorized and empowere
to confer with similar committees, that
may be appointed by other Presbyterian
churches to enter into conference with
Us.
And the committee appointed by this
assembly is TO confer on the subject of
closer relations with such churches as
enter the conference with a view TO
discover:

COLLECTION OF RUM0RS
LONDON DOESN'T BELIEVE

London, May 25.-Rumor is unceas-
ingly busy with the war, but little Gre
dence is placed in the varying state
ments in the absence of official con-
firmation.
The Daily Mails correspondent at
Shimonosak, cabling under date OF
May "a, asserts that active preparations
are in progress for the reduction of
Port Arthur, and that these operations
will be entrusted to a carefully chosen
force of veterans forming part of the
third army. Very heavy artillery, the
correspondent says, is being landed on
the Lao Tung peninsula.
Dispatches to the Daily Telegraph
show that on May 16 the japanese head
quarters were stu at Feng Wang
Cheng. This the correspondents attrib-
ute to the necessity for joint action
with the Japanese army, which has
landed at Pitsewo They explain that
communication has not yet been es-
tablished between the two Japanese
armies, but 1t is expected TO be estab-
lished within few days. The dispatches
say the telegraph lines between Feng
Wang Cheng and the south have been
cut by Russians disguised as Chinese.
Russian transport is moving from Lao
Yang in the direction of Mukden, but Il
is not known whether this means a re-
tirement of the army or merely the re-
moval of winter clothing, which is no
longer needed. The movements of war
correspondents, the dispatches say, are
limited to a radius of a mile and halt
from Feng Wang Cheng.
The Daily Telegraphs New Chwang
correspondent declares that Gen. ku-
ropatkin is determined to check the
japanese at Lao Yang, where probably
the greatest battle of the war Will be
fought. He adds that the Japanese land
operations against Port Arthur are
meeting with little success and that
Lieut. Gen. Stoessel and Maj. Gen.
Fock continue to make well directed
and desperate sorties against the ad-
vance of the Japanese, who are fight
ing with stubborn determination al
most unequalled in history. Several
hundred Japanese have been killed dur
ing the past few days. Japanese rein
forcements are arriving daily from
Pitsewo and Polandien, according to
this correspondent.
The Seoul correspondent of the
the Daily Telegraph says that Kin
Chau is being besieged by the Japanese
and it's surrender is momentarily ex-
pected.
1t is reported from Brussels that the
Russian government is making great
efforts to buy thirty large steamers
from Belgium and Holland to accom-
pany the Baltic fleet as GOLFERS
Included in the rumors is one sent by
the Shanghai correspondent of the
Morning Post to the effect that the
Russians have been defeated near Yin
Kau, abandoning fifty guns, and that
Gen. Kuropatkin has been advised by
Viceroy Alexieff to retreat to Hardin.

Postum. Now there is a great change
for the better.
