President on the Watch.

Much remains to be accomplished and
the nerves Of the plenipotentiaries. es-
pecially OF the Russians, are in such a
badly shattered condition that the small
est stumbling block might upset the
whole fair structure OF peace that the
world is so extrayagantly praising to-
day. Mindful OF this danger, the Presi-
dent is exercising more than his usual
care in wording his communications TO
the ENJOYS. The President believes that
the preparation OF treaty Will be COM
pleted in comparatively short space OF
time.
If no complications. now unforeseen,
arise, there is no reason why the peace
makers should not finish their work

DECISION DEALS A BLOW
TO FOREIGN CORPORATIONS
Alien Concern Loses Suit I'm Indian Ter
ritory Through Failure to COM
MY With the Law.

MUSKOGEE. l. T.. May 22.-Judge
Raymond. in the Court Of the Western
District, has rendered a decision which
will affect nearly every foreign cor
pora ton doing business in the Indian
Territory. The case is that Of T. H.
Rogers Lumber Company, which
brought suit against A S. McRae to
collect for material furnished by the
company to build a house for the de-
PENDANT. The attorney for the defendant
raised the point that the company is a
foreign corporation and had no one
at South McAIester to represent ii as
required by law. Judge Raymond
sustained the point and dismissed the
suit.
Under the Arkansas law, which gov
ems Indian Territory. foreign cor
poration that wishes to do business in
Indian Territory must keep a represen-
tative in the town where the incorpo-
ration papers were filed, upon whom
services may be made. II the corpora
ton fails to do this, all it's contracts
are void in case suit is brought upon
them.

FRICTION OVER
FAIR AWARDS
Many Exhibitors at st. Louis
Appeal to the National
Commission for Hearing
INJUSTICE is ALLEGED
Feared That Federal BOar'l
Will Lapse Before Ruling
Can Be Made on the Cases

NEW YORK, May 22-Requests for
hearings from the st. Louis Fair exhib-
itors. who are at present in controversy
with the Louisiana Purchase Exposition
Company over the coming award of
prizes, have been filed at the offices of
the National Commission in this city.
but as the commission has less than six
weeks to live, and proceedings Of such a
nature, If started, would last well into
next winter, it Is doubtful if the COM
missioners will be able to do anything
to give satisfaction to the compliments.
The protesting exhibitors. among whom
are some of the most prominent manu-
facturers in the country. are opposed to
the award of prizes on the ground that
exhibits were improperly classified and
judged and that many Of the resulting
awards will be unfair. The act of Con-
gress by which the National Commission
was created provides that the awards of
the exhibition company must officially be
Endorsed by the commission. This, so
far, has not been done. and as the COM
mission, by law, ceases to exist on July
1, there Is much speculation as to
whether the opportunity to confirm the
decisions will ever be presented The GER
tificates of awards. 1t Is said. are now
completed and only await issuance.

PRESBYTER|ANS
RAT|FY UNION
Cumberland Body Is Voted
Into General Assembly
Without Dissenting Voice
PLANS FOR THE MERGER
Differences Which Arose in
Regard to Church Policy
Healed After Long Years

WINONA LAKE. Ind, May 22.-Amid a
storm Of applause. without debate or a
dissenting voice, the General Assembly
of the Presbyterian Church to-day voted
to reunite with the Cumberland Presby-
terrain Church. which coded from
the general body on February 1. 1910.
This will bring together the two largest
branches of the Presbyterian faith.
By the adoption in its entirety of the
report of the special canvassing commit
tee, the assembly ordered that the oues-
ton as it now stands be referred to the
committee on cooperation, the member
snip OF which was increased to twenty
one. with the provision that 1t has power
to confer with a committee from the
Cumberland body to the end that details
Of the consolidation may be worked out
in a report to the next General Assembly
The dissenters from the East and South,
who apparently made no concerted effort,
outside of secret committee meetings to
defeat consolidation. tonight declare that
the General Assembly opened the avenue
to defeat by referring, to a committee the
work Of arranging the details OF consoi-
dation 1t is minated that the .opposi-
ton will take the question back to the
presbyteries of the Cumberland Church
and ask chat it be reconsidered before the
SOiuhiltSSN III OO-OQCl otfOAi thoACS4 40 AC-
port In 1906. Several of the Eastern dis
senters declare that the action of the
General Assembly was perfectly in ac-
cord with the wishes of the opposition.
The proposed union with the Reformed
church was discussed, but no action was
taken pending action by the General
Synod of that body. which is in session
at New York.
The resolution incorporated in the re-
port of the committee on marriage and
divorce prohibits the remarriage o. an
innocent party to a divorce until after one
year has elapsed.
The negro. his racial rights and alleged
criminality were subjects OF discussion by
several speakers following the report OF
the Board Of Missions for Freedmen. JUS
tice John NJ Harlan concluded a brief
talk with the words: Let Us find no
where in the reports or deliberations Of
the General Assembly anything Of the
criminality of the negro"
The resolutions were adopted without
reference to the criminality OF the colored
race.

Over Territory.
Special Dispatch to III. c.ll.

TACOMA, May 22.-After seven years
OF fighting it is understood at the West
ern headquarters Of the Great Northern
and Canadian Pacific railways that a
truce has been declared. President Hill
of the Great Northern began the trouble
seven years ago, when he extended the
Great Northern into Canadian Pacific ter
ritory in the Kootenay mining district

running surveys across Washington to
Tacoma and Portland.
Under a new agreement the Canadian
Pacific is not to oppose the Great North
ern's line through British Columbia,
known as the Victoria, Vancouver and
Eastern road. The Canadian road Is to
be given running rights over this line.
and further will not be molested in its
desire to build across Washington, Sc

NeCeSSitateS Extra
Boat to Meet
Demands.

The Pacific Mail Steamship Company
will dispatch the steamship Aztec on or
about June as an extra freight carrier
for Ancon and way ports. This action
was found necessary to meet the de-
mands OF the shippers here, who have
large orders for merchandise for south
ern ports.
The Aztec will carry 600 tons of
freight consisting principally of corn,
-four and wine. Some Of this merchandise
is destined for New York, but the most
Of it goes to ports along the southern
coast.
The coast trade has grown tremendous
~ OF late Every regular steamer of the
Pacific Mail has gone loaded to capacity
for several months past. The City of
Para, which is scheduled to sail on
Thursday for Ancon, has more freight
than she can get away with, and offer
ings were so large ahead that the COM
pany decided to put the Aztec on the
run.
The freighter will go on the drydoek,
probably to-day, and will be ready to
begin receiving freight at the little Mail
dock on Friday. May &c. She will be
loaded to capacity.

FILE TWO REPORTS.
California Presbyterians Warmly Dis
cuss the Union Question.

OuAAON4Ad 1ICbOy ecH1dnS LIE
cuss the Union Question.
FRESNO, May 22.-The Cumberland
Presbyterian General Assembly is in
the midst of a warm debate on the
union question. Two reports were
presented to It this afternoon. A ma
jority report, signed by Drs. Temple
ton and Wigginton and Judge Beard,
gave complete list Of the presby-
teries that had voted and declared that
the union had been constitutionally
agreed to by the Cumberland Presby-
terrain church.
Elders McClelland and Young sub
mitted a minority report. This agreed
with the majority with reference to the
facts of the vote.- but claimed that the
church has no constitutional right to
unite with another church and that,
therefore. the union has not been con-
stitutionally agreed to. 1t further at
firmed that the Presbyterian church
has not complied with the terms Of the
agreement with reference to separate
presbyteries.
On a motion to substitute the minor
ity for the majority report, DR.. Temple
ton of Texas opened the discussion. He
was followed by other speakers, the
debate lasting until a late hour. It Is
expected to continue through most Of
the day tomorrow. The unionists see
no need of discussing the matter at all,
but have acceded to the demand of the
opposition that there be a full debate.
