visibility of Union,

FRESNO, Cal, May 23.-The. Cumber-
land Presbyterian general assembly is
IN the midst of q warm debate on the
union question. Two reports were pre-
sented yesterday.
A maj ority report signed by Doctors
Templeton and Wigginton, and Judge
Board, gave a complete list Of the pres
byteries which had voted, and declared
that the union had been constitutionally
agreed to BY the Cumberland Presby-
terrain church and the basis adopted.
Elders McClelland and Young sub
mitted minority report. This agreed
with the majority with reference to the
facts of the vote, except one Spresbytery
but claimed that the church has no con
stitutional right to unite with another
church, and that Therefore the union has
not been constitutionally agreed to. It
further affrms that the Presbyterian
church has not complied with the terms
of agreement with reference to separate
presbyteries. At this point an official
telegram was received announcing that
the northern assembly had declared the
union proposition carried in that church
and all the conditions complied with. A
member then read personal telegram
from DR.: w. Plumber Bryan Of Chicago
contradicting the first and y declaring
that the Presbyterian assembly had in.
definitely postponed the subject. Both
messages were received with great ap
plause.

the vote by presbyteries, showing IA
yeas and 80 nays. Three presbyteries
took no action, one gave conditional as
sent, and five made no report.

ed effort, outside Of secret committee
meetings to defeat consolidation, last
night declared that the general assem-
bly, opened the avenue to defeat by re-
ferrlng to a committee the work of ar
ranging the details Of consolidation. It
is intimated that the opposition will
take the question back to the presbyte-

that it be reconsidered before the COM
