than the preliminary to it's regular

of the United States of America Dr.
Tinnorn continued to preside as mod
orator during most of the afternoon
meeting, the time being consumed
with the election of his successor,
Judge Warner e. Settle, of Frankfort
KY, Judge of the Court Of Appeals of
that State. His opponent was Judge
r. III. Prendergast, of Marshall, Texas.
The contest between those two candi-
dates was considered distinctly one
between the elements of the church
favoring union with the Presbyterian
church in the United States and those
opposing it, Judge Settle. the WIN
ming nominee, being registereQ as Ia
yoring the union. He was elected by
a vote of 158 to 76.
Opposed to Fatalism.
The doctrine of fatalism as touched
upon by the mother church is con-

JEERED BY THE ARMY.

Chicago, June ga special to the
Chicago Daily News from Che Foo
says:
Eight Chinese refugees who left Port
Arthur in Chinese junk, were picked
up this morning. They belonged to the
upper class. The information they gave
seems reliable. They stated that the
Russian feet now consist of the fol-
lowing ships in good condition: The
Czarevitch, Retvizan, Pobieda, Peres-
Wet. Poltava, Askold, Diana, Bayan,
Novik and twenty torpedo craft and
smaller boats. The torpedo transport
Amur is damaged and the battleship
Sevastopol slightly damaged, but they
can soon be repaired.
There are 1900 sailors and 10000
soldiers i'm the fortress. Women are
largely employed as nurses. There are
$50 artisans and 1000 citizens. These
1000 have now been drafted into the
army and are drilling daily. There is
plenty of food, but the government is
controlling prices in order to prevent
speculation.
The refugees also stated that owing
to the jeers of the army the fleet
was forced to make its recent demon
stration of June % in order to pre-
serve the morale of the garrison.

We're overcome by smoke and gas at a
fire to-day in the sub-cellar of the
double, five-story, brick building at
Nos. 4S3 and ABS Broadway, extending
through to Mercer street.
Half a hundred employees were driven
from the building, and the damage in
fiioted by fire, water and smoke was
estimated at between s15O,0OO and $780,
900.
The fire was so situated that it was
dificult to fight it. and it burned for
more than two hours before finally
brought under control. The smoke
from the burning material was so
dense and so pungent that the firemen
could work in il for but a few minutes
at a time, and many OF those who
braved 1t fell PROSTATE where they
stood.
Some who fell lay unnoticed on the
floor for a few minutes, and one man
remained for nearly an hour before be-
ing finally discovered and dragged to
the open air to be cared for by a.
large relief force, which had been sum-
moned.
Tne breaking of gas mains inside
the building and the consequent filling
OF the burning structure with thou
sands of cubic feet Of illuminating gas
added greatly TO the difficulty and the
danger.
