He Objects to Being Fined for Contempt
 of Court.
 New York, May 24.-Elihu Root and Delaney Nicoll appeared before Judge Wallace. In the United States Circuit Court today and argued in behalf of Edward F. Hale, who petitioned for a writ of habeas corpus after he had been fined for contempt of court in refusing to answer questions before the Federal grand jury in the Investigation of the American Tobacco Companys affairs.
 H. w. Taft, acting as special assist ant United States District Attorney in the Inquiry, represented tine Govern ment. Mir Root declared that the grand jury in this instance had undertaken police and not judicial proceedings; that the grand jury has assumed the powers of legislative committee, and that in calling upon Hale to testify. an effort was put forth to take from Hale his constitutional right. Mir. Root characterized the investigation be- ing made by the grand jury under MT. Taft's generalship as "a general fishing expedition" N
 Mr Tast argued that 1t was not nee essary for specific charges to be pre- ferred: that the Federal grand jury has unlimited inquisitorial powers; that such action as had been taken was found necessary owing to the seeming ability of the alleged trusts to avoid exposure Otherwise 1t would be im- possible to get at the secrets of viola tions of the Sherman act as they were not exploited from the housetops The so-called "gentlemen's agreements. and other subterfuges. could only be as- certained through such proceedings. When the arguments were concluded, Judge Wallace gave the lawyers until June i to file their briefs.

Neither will the strike be spread to any great extent. We are using our best efforts to keep it within it's present limits"
 In announcing his refusal to be ques- tIoned by the master in chancery Mir. Shea said:
 T think they intend to send me to jail. Anyway am not going to answer the questions before the master. l will do my own thinking. The law gives me that right I honestly believe the questions will tend to incriminate me. I might as well go. to Jail for contempt as for conspiracy. can run the strike from the jail
 Continuing, Mir. Shea said:
 '.rhe soldiers will not anect the strike breakers. It would seem to me that the business men of Chicago would not want the soldiers here. With lot of young men unaccus- toned to scenes of excitement, armed with deadly weapons. life will be In danger. At any rate, thousands of people intending to come to Chicago to buy goods will be frightened away and the effect will be serious to many business men But personally, have nothing to say against the soldiers coming"

NEWS FrbaE FRONT ANTICIPATES
 THERE'S SOMETHING DOING.
Believed Llnevitch is Trying to Assume Offensive, Instead of Waiting for an Attack from
 Marshal Oyama.

St. Petersburg. May 25.-The news from the front continues to point to the proximity of fighting on a large scale. Lieutenant General Linevitch sent Lieutenant General Rennen- kampf's Cossacks on daring expedi-
 ton around Field Marshal Oyama's s left. Rennenkampf succeeded in pene- trating to the rear of the Japanese. but paid dearly, his Cossacks being badly cut up Many believe that Gen eral Linevitch Is trying to take the of fensive out of Oyama's hands. The latter had made all preparations against the possible Interruptions of his communications and the cessation of the transport service from Japanese ports. All endorsements available and immense quantities of provisions and munitions of war have been landed In Yinkow and Dalny since Vice-Ad- miral RoJestvensky appeared in the straits of Malacca.
 Newspaper correspondents at the front are prevented by the censor from telegraphing any intelligent view of the situation and this has always been the precursor of important develop ments General Linevitch has taken far greater precautions than did Gem eral Kuropatkin to prevent his plans leaking out

SHE Tnduntrx Crisis.

Paris, May 24.-A serious crisis in the silk industry was brought to the attention of the chamber of deputies today by the debate on the bill in- creasing the duty on silks of European origin from forty cents to s1.50 and placing a duty of $1.sO per kilo on Japanese and Chinese raw silks, here- tofore admitted free.
 M. Morel (Republican). in report- ing the bin said the crisis had become acute. At Lyons and other silk cen- tres business had fallon of and sal- aries had been reduced until ruin was apparent if the government did not in tervene. Some regions showed fifty per cent in diminution in production. In fancy thread silks the annual loss in production was put at $1S.O00.0e0. The chief cause was the gradual in- crease of foreign competition.
 Paul Bureauregard (Repubitcanls opposed the increase duty, claiming that the reduced productions was not due to industrial conditions but to the gradual adoption of cheaper grades of silks in place of finer textures for- merly made at Lyons and other stik centres

The Cumberlanis.

Fresno. Cal, May 24.-The first ses- sion of the Cumberland Presbyterian Church today was tranquil compared with the suppressed excitement pre-
 vailing yesterday. A contest was ex- pected over the report of the commit tee on publication, to which was refer red a resolution practically asking that the editor of the church paper be re- moved. The committee reported that 1t found no facts to justify such course. The report was adopted with
 out debate.
 The missions report also was adopted
 without debate, except a mild complaint that the administration of the beard costs too much. The report commend
 ed the officers of the board and directed that the Sunday schools provide build ing for a boys high school in China.
 Reports on education and temperance
 fololwed. Mrs A H. Stephens of
 Chicago bore greetings from the Wo- mans Board of Missions
 President A. E. Turner spoke as
 delegate from the pan-Presbyterian Alliance.
 The protest of the anti-unionists was | filed at the afternoon session. It de- | clared the belief of the protestants in | the doctrines of the Cumberland Church 1 and that the revision of the Westmin- 1 ster confession was not revision and 1 that there Is no uocJrlnal agreement I between the two bodies. It affirmed l that none of the steps taken had been 1 constitutional; that there Is no au- 1 thority for the proposed union and that | the plan proposed means simply the ab- | sorption of the Cumberland Church fn- l to the larger body. It also says that the Presbyterian Church has not com l piled strictly with the agreement to
 change it's form of government and is | not a unit in desiring union. Drs. 1 Tenpleton and Black. Judge Beard and | Presidents Turner and Taylor were ap-
 pointed to prepare a protest The | unionists also proposed to read a | pastoral letter which they purposed sending out to the churches. storm
 of protests arose from the "antis" who | were not willing even to have the let- 1 ter read Following their conciliatory | policy the unionists withdrew the prop osition without reading.
 A resolution was adopted dissolving | the board of Sunday school and young peoples work A resolution asking that Senator Shoot be not allowed to sit in the Senate was adopted. Decatur, H., was selected as the next place of meeting.

AT WINONA LAKE.
Plans Regarding Finances Up tor Con-
 AideratiOn.


 winona Lake, Ind, May 24.-The General Assembly of the Presbyterian Church today heard. discussed and ap- proved the recommendations incorpo- rated in the reports of the Committees on foreign missions and Sabbath School work: appointed committee to inves- tigate and report on the feasibility of the plan of Justice Harlan of the Uni ted States Supreme Court for -he erec- ton of a central Presbyterian cathe- dral at the National Capital, and en- dorsed a project which proposes the collection of a permanent fund of $10,- OOO,000, the Income from which Is to be expended in annuities for aged min- isters of the Presbyterian Church and their families.
 The Committee on Sustenance was commissioned to undertake the work of establishing this fund. The committee now has a permanent fund of nearly $165O, 900 with which to begin opera tions. The remainder is to oe raised from congregational contributions. gifts and an insurance scheme by which a minister may, by paying about S24 a year for thirty years, draw an annuity of $500. Before the thirty years have elapsed, it is estimated the permanent fund will be sufficient to in- crease the annuity to $1,000.
 One of the speakers at the session declared that gifts of any size would be received from any person who has a legal right to the money which he gives.
 The purpose of this elaborate hnan- cial scheme is to lift worry from the minds of men now engaged in the min istry. There are S24 ministers now en- titled to share in this annuity plan.
 The Assembly probably will vote ta- morrow on the next place of. meeting. over which there is a sharp contest. Philadelphia practically gave up it's ef- fort this afternoon and the contest is now confined to Columbus. O.. and Des Moines. la. with most if not all the Western commissioners favorng Des Moines.
 The discussion of foreign missions was attended by some brilliant bursts of oratory and 5000 people cheered the sneakers Among them were James w. Iowrey. missionary at PaOtang Flu china: Thomas C. Winn, missionary at Osaka. Japan, and Rev. George Mar shall. missionary in Southern China.
 The assembly adopted all the recom- mendations of the Foreign Missions Board and decided that the fitness of a candidate for a foreign mission should be determined by his Presbytery. The Assembly sustained the board against a charge coming from Brook lyn that last year the board had sent out as missionaries two heretics. The General Assembly decided to investi- cate the project of Justice Harlan for

NIalxchIdxe's Death.

St. Petersburg, Maq 25.-Though no details of the assassination of Prince Niakchidzc Governor of Baku, Cauca- sia, at Baku, Wednesday. have been received, the impression here Is that the outrage was the work of the Ar menian revolutionary committee in re- yeage for the attitude taken by the prince during the racial war between inc Armenians and Tartars in Febru- ary last, and is not attributable to the Russian terrorists.
 The Armenians laid the responsible ity for the deaths of those slain In February at the door of Prince Naka- ohidze and only yesterday suit was be- gun against the prince before the sen ate tribunal at St. Petersburg, in be- half of the children of Ialaieff, Baku millionaire whose home was stormed and burned and him self and wife and parents kill ad during the riots. In the suit damages to the amount of $12,500 were claimed 1t being maintained that the governor instead of performing his duty by stopping the massacre, actually melted the Tartars to attack The Armenians. Prince Nakachidze
 ras nopular among the Russian ele- roent in the Caucasius. He was man or high spirits and in spite of the ha- tired of the powerful Armenian revolu- tjorarv committee he disclaimed mil- jtarv protection and appeared on the streets unattended. He refused to heed the warnings and entreaties of his friends.
