O'Clock Saturday afternoon, after az

Believed Presbyterian DenOmina-
lions Will Become One Church.
Buffalo, N. Y, May 3O.-The Pres.
byterian general assembly brought one
of the most memorable gatherings of
this denomination held in recent years
to a close Saturday night. The SEES.
sions, it is believed, are the prelude OF
the union of all branches of the Pres.
byterian branches in the United States
The question of union will now be
submitted to the Presbyteries, and
upon approval by two-thirds, the plans
of union will be contaminated. The
relations between the mother church
and the Presbyterian church south and
the United Presbyterians also tend to.
ward unity.
The assembly placed itself on record
against the protest of few commits.
sioners, on the question of union with
the Cumberland, Presbyterian church
by adopting the report of the commit
tee appointed to reply to the protest
ants.

FAVOR CONSUMPTION.
British Royal Commission Finds IL
Only Way to Keep Up Navy.

British Royal Commission Finds Ii
Only Way TO Keep Up Navy.
London, May 3O.-The report of the
royal commission on the volunteer and
militia forces practically recommends
CONSUMPTION as the only means of pro-
viding home defense army adequate
tor the protection of the country in the
absence or partial absence of the reg
ular troops. The commissioners are of
the opinion that the principles adopted
by all other great European states
must largely be adopted by Great Brit
ain, and that it is the duty of every
able bodied citizen to be trained for
national defense.
They point out that the necessary
training would involve period of
continuous service with the colors, I'M
der an instruction body of especially
equipped and highly trained officers,
and they consider that one year of such
continuous training would suffice with
few weeks attendance at the maneu-
vers for year or two afterwards. The
commissioners estimate that such a
scheme would provide about $50, 900
trained men annually at cost of prob
ably less than that of the present mil
itary system.

AN AMBITIOUS SCHEME.
Will Establish Many
Wireless Stations.

Government will Establish Many
Wireless Stations.
Washington, May 3O.-It is now Civ
en- out that the government has all but
perfected the plans for tablishing
wireless telegraph stations at frequent
intervals along the Pacific, as we'll as
along the Atlantic coast and in its in
sular possessions, and that these sta
tons will be for the free use of the
public.
This ambitious &C beme was devised
by the general board of the navy and
has been secretly under consideration
, by the bureau of equipment of the
| navy department for some time. AL
though it has been known that the
navy department was experimenting
with wireless telegraphy and that sew
eral stations had already been estab-
lished, it was not until this time that
the great significance and broad scope
of the scheme was made known.
The great system of wireless stations
will, of course, be primarily for the
use of the navy in coast defense. In
times of peace, however, the stations
will be needed for strictly military
uses only a small part of the time. and
it is proposed therefore to make them
great public utility. The operators
will be enlisted men Of the navy.
1t is about settled that there will be
no charge for sending messages be-
tween these stations and passing ships
and other vessels and the use of the
wireless system under the supervision
Of the navy will be open to newspapers,
maritime associations, land telegraph
companies and private citizens gen.
orally.
The department has already com
pleted or under way twenty three sta
lions, and as many more will be estab-
lished in the near future. 1t is prob
able that one and perhaps two of these
will be located ON Puget Sound, the
favorite location being Bremerton navy
yard. If second station is esta blished
on Puget sound it will probably be
near the entrance of the sound.
Thus far only two sites OH the Pa
cific have been absolutely decided on,
and these are at Mare Island navy
yard and at the naval training station
on Yerba Buena island, near San
Francisco. There will be one at Ca
vite, in the Philippines, another on
the island of Guam and still another
near Honolulu. The system may ulti-
mately be extended to Alaska.
1t is proposed that all the wireless
telegraph stations now established or
hereafter to be established, shall be
under the control of the government,
and legislation to that end viii be rec
commended by President Roosevelt in
his next message to congress.
