MUCH REJOICING.

Il
Immediately upon the reading OF IT the
assembly broke into prolonged applause,
a very unusual occurrence for this body,
as applauding is contrary to the la"
and the custom Of the assembly. the
telegram was referred to the committee
on Foreign Correspondence, who Will pre-
sent reply to 1t at Tomorrow mornings
session. So far as can be gathered from
the members Of the assembly. there is
universal rejoicing that this action has
been taken by the Northern Church. As
to It's effect upon the question OF the
union OF the two churches, opinion Is
divided. There are some who say there
is nothing now to interfere with the inn
mediate union Of the two churches.
There are others who say that. whilst
they rejoice in this action, there are
many other important and vital matters
which demand serious attention and adj
justment before they are ready for union.
/ Is very evident that there Is a very
strong desire in many parts Of the church
for the establishment of closer relations
with other branches Of the Presbyterian
Church in this country. This is evidenced
by the large number of overtures on this
subject that have been sent up to this
assembly by number of presbJteries.
They have all been referred to the Bills
and Orertures Committee, and 1t Is inn
possible to forctell what they will recon-
mend.
The greater part of to-day's session was
taken up in hearing the reports OF the
executive committees and the presenta-
ton Of communications all OF which were
referred 10 committees. The most i'm
portant action taken was the election OF
permanent clerk Rev. IT. II. Law, ID. D..
of Spartanburg. S. c., being chosen on
tho seventh ballot.

scHURMAN PREDICTS WAR.
The Annexation Of Colombia and Other
Republics Prophesied.

A special dispatch to the Baltimore Sun
from Lockport. N. Y, yesterday, says:
President Schurman of Cornell University.
in his address before the Economic League
of this city last night on National Great
ness" predicted that all the South Ameri-
can countries wouldhave to come under the
protection of the United States or else Will
have to be admitted into the Union as a re-
suit Of the present trouble at Panama.
Mr. Schurman stated that after care
full review of the Panama situation he be-
lieved that war would be the only outcome
Of the present crisis on the isthmus.
THE Coiombians are determined to fight -
he declared. THE United States troops will
be successful and occupy Bogota. There
could be but one result to such movement,
the United States taking possession of CO.
lombia. The Monroe doctrine would be
greatly affected in such an event, resulting
in complications and war with the other
South American republics.
1.-THE outcome would ultimately be their
subjugaton, one by one. by the United
States. This was necessitate the United
States eventually having to exercise a pro-
tectorate over them as in the case Of Cuba
or else 1t would admit them to statehood"

CONSOLIDATION EXPLAINED.
Secretary Roots Memorandum for Use
of Congressional Committees.

Secretary Root has prepared memorah-
dunn historical and explanatory. Tor inc
use of the congressional military commit
tees in the consideration of the war De-
partment bill for the consolidation or the
adjutant generals department and the rec
ord and pension office. In a letter to Sena-
tor Proctor. in regard to the bill. Secretary
Root explains its purposes as follows:
ut provides for the establishment of the
office of military secretary in the War De-
partment which shall unite under one head
and in one bureau the duties analogous to
the duties OF n recording secretary, and
those analogous to the duties of corre-
spending secretary. which are SO familiar
In civilian organization. This VIII prac-
ticaIiy consolidate what Is now the record
and pension Office and what remains OF the
adjutant generals Office since the transfer
of the more important functions, formerly
discharged by that Office, TO the general
stan. 1t will do away with the division OF
the records and the constant friction and
interference with good administration
which has arisen from that division, and
will / am confident, be greatly in favor OF
economy and effective service.
1.-The immediate effect OF the bill In ref
erence to the present personnel OF the two
existing bureaus will be to put General
Ainsworth In charge of the whole business
of records and correspondence. the two
classes of duties being performed In differ
ent sections of the military secretary's Of
fee. And 1t will bring in under the admira-
BILE system, which has characterized the
record and pension Office the whole busi-
ness of the War Department of that de-
scription. 1t will leave the adjutant gen.
erals corps as it is now. with the excep-
ton that when the present adjutant gen
erai. who Is now in command of the De-
parfment OF the East. shall become sepa-
rated from active service, the office of adju-
tant general will cease.

Makes a Correction.

Mr.. Theodore w. Tallmadge writes The
star making some corrections in It's report
yesterday Of the installation of officers and
honors to the chaplain Of the Burnside Post,
declaring it was an error In giving him the
title of reverend, as he is an attorney vat
law, and in the Grand Army of the Repub-
Iic a chaplain is not always a minister of
the gospel.
He states: Another mistake was in
naming Capt. Jerome F. Johnson, late COM
mander of the post. as presenting the testi-
monial to the outgoing chaplain. The reso-
buttons were prepared by committee, APP
pointed by the post. composed Of George G..

while the committee on the Jeweied badge
was A. ]. Huntoon, Dan. A. Grosvenor and

"All of the members of the committee had

ical divisions and departments of the army.
and in case of occasion for the organiza-
ton of tactical divisions, army corps or
Probably three or four of the members of
the corps will be detailed for service in the
office of the military secretary, and be In
charge of the correspondence division of
that office. i think this will constitute a
very great and important reform in the
conduct of business in the War Depart
ment, and it follows naturally the change
In system which has removed the former
important duties of advice and control
from the adjutant general to the chief of
staff. leaving only duties mainly clerical
In their nature to be performed in the adju-
tant generals Office of the War Depart
ment."

Last Springs Investigation Pretense.
IT desire to add, that those investiga-

cause important witnesses were not sum-

out, and because proper deductions there
fore were not made. / was never official
Iy notified to appear before either or the
committees. I was casually asked to APP
pear before the members OF one OF the
committees, having accidentally met them
at the hospital.
"As I was the chairman Of the investi-
eating committee authorized by the board
of directors, 1 refused to appear as
witness before committee appointed by
the attending staff to make similar in
vestigation. Moreover, the matter had
been referred to you, and was outside the
province of both the board and the at
tending staff
"I desire to say that 1 have made no
attack on the superintendent as woman,
but only as an employee of the hospital:
her character as superintendent could
easily be learned by an untrammeled ex-
animation of the other employees of the
hospital with whom she has closely been
associated during the last few years.
I'm conclusion, / respectfully renew my
request that your honorable board order
another investigation of the hospital chiefly
because it. is impossible under the present
controlling members of the board OF d.
rectors to have a thorough investigation.
and also because the facts mentioned in my
interrupted report are both true and Sc
rious involving as they do the competency
and efficiency of the two most important
resident employees of the hospital, and can
be substantiated by such an investigation
as the boa nd of charities would make"
