safe to say IL they treated subjects
like the trusts and the tariff as they
treat the questions of the church
they would soon find Themselves out
Of work."
Other speakers were Rev DR.. David
'. Durreil, Of New York; Rev. DR.. r.
Il. Booth, former mediator of the
Presbyterian assembly. and Bishop
W. I. Sabine, of the Reform Episco-
pal church. Address by Professor
Howard Osgood, d. D.. Of the Roch-
ester Theological Seminary. was read
by DR.. Gregory. DIR. Osgood recount
ed the points advanced by Bible crit
fcs OF to-day and showed them to be
identical with those In Paine's Age
Of Reason" published I'm 1872. BY
reference to the works OF voltafre,
Diderot and Paine, he showed that
the arguments Of to-day advanced no.

precedents found that it had been
the custom for the full committee
to select the temporary chairman,

QUARANTINE DISPUTE.
Reported Friction Between Mexico
and the State of Texas.

formation the department of state
has touching the reported friction
between Mexico and the state of
Texas over the question of cattle
quarantine is contained in a short tel
egram from United States Consul
General Hanna, at Monterey, saying
that Texas has threatened a quaran-
tine against Mexican cattle, that the
Mexican cattle are free from disease
and that the proposed action might
lead to retaliation. The matter may
involve an interesting question as to
the supremacy Of state and national
quarantine laws. The department of
agriculture, through the bureau of
animal industry, probably will take
part in the investigation likely to be
made.

Washington, May AFTER having
been shanghaied in Norfolk, Va.
shipped I'm an English tramp steamer
as a fireman, put ashorein England,
forced to beat his way back home,
arrested when the steamer was four
days out and on his arrivel in this
country convicted by court-martial,
Fred McDougal, a landsman in the
navy, by order of the secretary of
straight and will be reimbursed for
his losses.
Last June, while absent on leave
from the Franklin, then at Hampton
Roads. McDougal was walking along
the streets of Norfolk one evening
a drink. McDougal consented after
some protestation. The stranger took
him - saloon in Water street,
where they had two glasses of beer,
and that is the last McDougal remem-
bered until he found himself off the
English coast on the tramp steamer
ST. Herbert, bound for Rotterdam.
From there the steamer went to
Hamburg, and thence to South
Shields, England. where he was put
ashore with s2.25 in his pocket as
wages. Failing to secure assistance
from the American consul at that
place, McDougaI worked his way to
London, and thence slowed away on
cattleship bound for Baltimore.
When four days out he was arrested,
and then the captain on his arrival
at Baltimore turned him over to the
police, who sent him in a few days
to the Franklin, where he was tried
by court-martiat convicted and SEN
fenced.
Shortly after his release, while in
Norfolk, McDougal met the man who
had shanghaied him and had him ar
rested. He was Vance McCarty and
kept a boarding house.
He was fined 500 for accepting
illegal fees. McDougal now has beer
restored to good standing. and the
navy department is considering plans
to prevent such shanghaiing of oul
sailors in coast towns.

One OF the Bloodiest Fights I'm His
tory.
ST. Petersburg, May 4.-12:40 p. m.
The gloom which prevailed here
yesterday was almost completely dis
PEELED this morning when the people
read the story of the glorious fight
made by General Zassalitch's handful
of rough regiments against the flow
Yalu and of the utter defeat of Vice
Admiral Togo's new attempt to seal
the entrance to Port Arthur.
1t is now plain that not more than
5000 Russians were actually engaged
| in the fighting at the Yalu against
the Japanese army of a total strength
of between 10000 and 10000. The
| losses on both sides, which are ex-
pected to reach 1000 and possibly
1900 in the Russian force and twice
| that number for the Japanese, make
it one of the bloodiest fights in his
tory. At the river crossing, the Jap
anese dead lie piled up literally 1r
heaps, and General Kuroki's success
was purchased at such heavy cost
that the Russians are disposed to re-
gard it as rather a defeat than vic
tory for him. Those who were dis
posed to criticise General ZasSalitch
even at the headquarters of the gen
eral staff, now say that he redeemed
himself by his gallantry in action and
the damage he inflicted upon the
enemy.
