ASSEMBLY DIVIDED
"
Over the Proposed Articles Of
Agreement
SUBSTITUTE WAS OFFERED
Would Make the Council Adyisa-
tory IN its Character
Consent OF All Churches Would be Ne
ccssary Before Amy Amendments
Could be Madc-PIan Was VigOr-
oueiy Attackcd-DcveIopm Dur
ing Session Many and Unexpected.

Birmingham, Ala, May 22.-The de-
velopments of this afternoons session
of the general assembly of the South
ern Presbyterian church were many
and unexpected. After the cloud of
argument and discussion of the articles
Of agreement had cleared away, the
situation seemed to stand thus:
A statement had been submitted by
the chairman of both the minority aud
majority of the special committee on
articles of agreement, Rev. J. S. Ly-
sns, of Louisville, and F. T. Glasgow,
of Lexington, Va, proposing to take
the place Of both previous reports
which had been argued so extensively
amending the articles Of agreement ny
striking out the last clause in articles
four. substituting the words for their
consideration" for the last clause jn
article six, and changing the words
''tWOthirds" on article II, to "all'.
This substitute would take away all
judiciary powers whatever from the
proposed council making it simply ad-
yisOry and would require The consent
of all the churches before any amend
ment might be made. Neal l.. AnGer-
son surprised the assembly by vigOI
Ously attacking such a plan and just
as adjournment was ordered for the
afternoon W. r. DObyns, of st. Joseph,
Mo, gave notice of an amendment 10
the substitute as follows:
''Resolved, That the assembly adopt
the articles Of agreement and enter
this council, and at the same time in
4 struct her commissioners to use al
honorable means to have the amend
mentS made to the articles of agree
ment which are mentioned in the sub
stitute."
He explained that the difference Ue-
tween this amendment and the SubSti-
tute is that while the substitute pro-
vides that the articles be adopted and
Jhe representatives of the assembly lie
authorized to enroll as members of the
council as soon as the council shall ap-
prove of the amendments. Mr.. Dobyns
amendment provides that the articles
be adopted and the members enrCiled
before the amendments are approved
and attempt to secure their approval
The Rev. DR.. William McPhetters,
of Columbia, Tenn. also gave notice
OF an amendment to the substitute, by
which the Presbyterians would be
overturned by the general assembly re-
COmmending a change III the consti-
tuition Of the church. giving the assem-
bly, the power 10 form AN alliance by
articles Of agreement, as changed by
the Substitute with other churches for
the purpose of arbitration and spiritual
unity and that the Presbyteries send
up oyertures on the subject at the
next meeting of the assembly, thus
postponing action a year in order 10
satisfy the constitutional objections 20
the adoption of the articles Of agree
ment.
Twelve O'Clock tomorrow was set
for the final vote on the whole Ques-
ton. : 80

TWILL NOT WAIT
On Result Of The Proceedings
| Against Hartman
COMMISSION WILL PROCEED
Ia the Investigation of Hartman
System OF Railroads
RcpOrt Will be Made Up and Publish
cd Long Before Court Decides
Whether Railroad Mngnatc Shall
Answer Questions on Not-What
Decision the Commission VIII Ar
rive at Cannot be C,Hjccturcd.

Washington, May 22-It Is not the
intention of the interstate commerce
commission to await the result of the
proceedings TO be instituted against T..
II. Hartman TO compel him TO answer
certain inquiries that were put to him
taking action on the general subject OF
| the investigation.
In the opinion OF members OF the
commission, it may be a year or even
more before the final decision can be
reached regarding the effort of the
| commission to compel Mr.. Hartman
| to answer its questions. The proceed
ings to that end will be instituted in
the courts of the southern district of
New York the latter part of this month
or the first of next month. They will
be for the purpose of obtaining an or
der from the court TO compel Mr. Har-
riman to respond to the inquiries. II
is expected that, if the court should
issue such an order, Mr.. Hartman
may carry the case to the supreme
court of the United States. Should the
lower courts decision be adverse TO
the commission it is probable that IL
will carry the matter to the highest
tribunal, inasmuch as the question in
wolves right of the commission which
it believes it ought to exercise in an
untrammeled way.
1t is likely that the report of the
commission on the Hartman case will
be made up and published, for IL Is
the intention Of the commission 90
make it public, long before a final de-
termination of the proceedings to COM
pei Mr.. Hartman to answer the moot
ed questions is reached.
What the report of the commission
may be cannot be foretoid, for the
commission as a body has not consid-
cred the subject in its general pha1es.
A pressure Of other work has compel
ed the commission TO postpone deGaite
action on the Hartman enquiry. The
indications are, however, that de-
termination of the case will be reached
in a few weeks.

The kioosier Situation.

That Mr. Vice President Charles
Warren Fairbanks of Indiana is one
of the most prominent candidates for
the Republican presidential nomination
is known of all men. It has been tax
en- for granted all along that Repub-
lican Hoosierdom was not only solidly
but enthusiastically for him. It was
also runored that he was rounding up
the southern delegates much in the
manner in which Marcus A. Hanna
rounded them up for Mckinley in 1896.
SO everything seemed lovely for the
vice president. and the goose honked
high Now, however, comes the news
that certain Indiana statesmen are in
league to beat him out of the Indiana
delegation or, falling that to set up a
delegation which, though instructed for
him, will desert him at the first oppor-
tunity, thereby repeating the perfidy
of the Ohio delegates which in 1880
and again in 1888 defeated John Sher-
mans presidential aspirations. The
knitting of Sherman to death in the
house of his friends Is still fresh in the
minds of all well Informed folks.
The first premonition of trouble for
the vice president came when Harry
S. New of Indianapolis succeeded Mr..
Cortelyou as chairman of the Repub-
lican national committee. The Fair
banks-New feud is Of long standing,
Harry S. having inherited 1t from his
father. Next Ex-Governor Durbin Of
Indiana, who is credited with a desire
for a vice presidential nomination,
came to Washington and gave out an
interview whooping it up for President
Roosevelt for a third term, which was
an unfriendly performance toward the
". P. It is said that this anti-Fair-
banks movement is well financed. So
it looks squally for the V. P.

Initiative and Referendum.

Slowly, but surely, the ideas OF
Thomas jefferson are being crystallized
into law. He was the greatest philoso-
pher that ever devoted life to poll
tics. In many things slavery and its
abolition, for instance-he was decades
ahead of his time, in others centuries
ahead. The latest case of a Legislature
placing one of his century neglected
ideas upon the statute books is the
law just passed by the Missouri legis-
lature providing for the initiative and
referendum. This scheme makes ev-
cry voter a legislator, and hereafter
in the imperial commonwealth of Mis-
souri, the voters themselves will pass
upon every important statute by using
the referendum machinery and can IN
augurate new legislation by using the
initiative machinery. It has been tried
elsewhere and worked well. The com
bined initiative and referendum will do
more to eliminate the boss, wire puller
and lobbyist than all other causes COM
bined and will also cause the average
voter to take more interest in legisla-
ton than he has hitherto taken, all of
which is greatly to be desired. Grad
ually the people are working out the
vast and difficult scheme Of self gov
eminent and solving the new and in
tricate problems which confront them.
