tain this action would be taken. but
thought it likely the question would
be discussed at the assembly.
The divorce problem Will probably
cause much discussion. The men who
are urging the church to take some
radical action in regard to this nues-
ton did not pass thru the city yester-
day and the probable action OF the as
scmbly could not be learned. Another
of the important questions to come
before the assembly will be the labor
question. A bureau was established
at the last assembly and was placed in
charge of Charles Stotzol. He was in
str,lcted to investigate all questions
pertaining to the labor world and was
given sufficient assistance TO make his
examination a thorough one. He VIII
report the results Of his investiga-
ton at one of the sessions.
The freedman problem Will also re-
ceivc some of the time of the convcn-
ton. There are many negroes enrolled
among the ministers of the faith and
they will probably be heard upon this
question. They. too. will have a prom
inent part In the deliberation on home
aud foreign missions. Representatives
from China, Africa. Japan, India, Per-
STA. Brazil and other foreign countries
will also be heard in the discussion
of this important question.

line UP with the Blythe machine and
throw his twenty-siX delegates TO Per-

the behalf of Perkins as OF w w.

save something on the executive
council. The standpatters desire to
hold Cummins' majority of delegates
down to the lowest amount possible so
as to be able to say that there is n
strong anti-tariff revision sentiment IN

GORKY AND HIS FAMILY.

Maxim Gorky. it appears, has come
over to America, not merely to raise
money to fight the car. He had an
other, secondary, purpose, and that was
to get away from his wife, who was,
perhaps asking him to attend to clean
ing up the yard and let the government
alone. Not only did Gorky come away
without his wife, but by the merest
accident he brought along a woman
who is not his wife. The revelations of
the peculiar stage of the Gorky en-
tourage resulted in his being elected
from a New York hotel the other day
William Dean Howells, Mark Twain
and j. G. Phelps Stokes, who appears
to get his initials mixed up with ev-

socialist, are in dreadful pickle They
have been standing for Gorky, and only
to find that he is not the kind of
bird they thought him. 1t is very sad
to see such amiable and excellent gen.
tlemen in such an embarrassing situa-
ton, but it may teach them to learn
something definite about foreigners
before endorsing them hereafter. Cor
ky's wild talk before he left the steam

WHOSE BUSINESS?

Its none of your id business"
is the reply attributed to Senator Dan
iel, when asked by a reporter what
was said at his conference with the
president.
Barring his profanity, it is possible
that the senator was correct. He
knows best what was said at the said
conference. If it was something of a
private nature, something about the
prospects for shooting in Virginia, or
something about good roads about Mr..
Roosevelt's place in the state of which
Senator Daniel is a sovereign over
seer, it could not possibly interest the
reporter, but if it was something about
the railroad rate bill it might affect the
reporters business as a representative
of the public tremendously. We trust
the senator did not fail to differentiate
between what is a reporters business
and what might be his natural human
curiosity ABOUT conversation between
two such eminent persons. Such a
colloquy could never fail to be inter-
esting; it could seldom fail to be en-
tightening; it might even be of vital
Importance.
1t would seem as if the senator from
Virginia was in some danger of in
