NOT ENOUGH MISSIONARIES.
The Churches of This Country Can
not Supply the Demand.

Birmingham, Ala, May 16.-The
report which the executive committee
of the Alliances of the reforme ed
churches throughout the world. hold
ing the Presbyterian system made to
the general assembly of the southern
Presbyterian church today, says that
each year it becomes more apparent
that the Christian church at home
cannot furnish sufficient missionaries
for the evangelization of heather peo-
pies, nor can a sufficient number of
physicians be sent from the home
lands to supply the needs of foreign
fields. The only way of meeting such
needs, the report says, is the estab-
lishment of seminaries and hospitals
for raising up native minister's. teach
ers and physicians. AS to home mis-
sions, the report says all the churches
are awakening to a deeper sense of
responsibility.
The report offers resolution which
recites "the effort in many places in
our country by the Roman Catholic
church to produce sympathy for the
Catholics of France by charging
persecution of the church against the
French government. We believe that
this charge is based upon false as
sumptions and that these efforts are
developing a spirit contrary to free
institutions and the true liberty of our
land"

SEATS ALL FULL.
Memorial Hall Hele A, 700 Per-
sons This Morning.
When the Presbyterian General
Assembly Convened.
CHOICE OF MODERATOR
Is the Chief Business of the
Session Today.
Seattle Is Offering $4,000 for
the Next Assembly.

| Columbus, O., May 16.-All interest
today at the 18th general assembly
of the Presbyterian church was in the
outcome of the contest for moderator,
to be settled this afternoon.
The friends of all the candidates are
very active. The leading candidate is
DR.. w. H. Roberts of Philadelphia,
stated clerk of the assembly, who was
defeated for moderator in Los Angeles
last year. Other candidates are DR..
w. o. Thompson, president of the
OHIO State university; Rev. w. H H.
| Black, president of the Missouri col
| lege; Rev Francis E. Marston of New
York city; Rev S. F. CoveI, former
president of Wooster university; and
Rev. Ira E. Landrith of Nashville,
Tenn. Rev. Mr.. ,Landrith is being
urged as a compromise candidate, but
apparently his candidacy was sprung
too late.
| Seattle is an active candidate for
the next general assembly and is re-
ported as Offering to give $4,000 to
pay the expense.
The 400 seats in Memorial hall
were all filled when the general as
sembly convened this morning. DR..
Coyle of Denver called the assembly
to order. Ira E. Landrith,. d. D., of
Nashville, Tenn, former moderator of
the Cumberland Presbyterian assem-
bly, and the man who was most in
strumental in bringing about the
union of his church with the northern
body, delivered the annual address.
References which he made to the race
question and declaration that the
property of the directors to the union
in the Cumberland church will be
paid for, were received with applause.
DR.. Landrith, it is rumOred today,
will be made chairman of the commit
tee on bills and overtures. the most
important committee in the assembly.
Later in the day. DR.. Roberts sup
porters were jubilantly claiming that
opposition to their man was melting
away and that they had practically
pledged enough votes to elect him.

THEY WANT NO HELP.
A Few Cumberland Presbyterians
Hold General Assembly.

Dickson, Tenn, May 16.-As a mat
ter of sentiment, a quorum of COM
missioners of the general assembly of
the Cumberland Presbyterian church,
went today. to Bethlehem church
which stands on the site Of the birth
place of the church, and there form
ally held the 18th session of the gen
eral assembly.
Rev. j. L. Hudgins recited the his
tory of the agitation for organic union
and branched into a vigorous and
caustic arraignment of the leaders
responsible for the union He charged
that the press was subsidized, the pull
pits muzzled and church agencies and
boards whipped into line by resorting
to schemes of ward heelers of epartf-
san politicians that a technical in
dorsement might be given to the
cowardly surrender of the committee
on fraternity and union.

WILHOIT LOSES.
Commerce Commission Upholds the
Katy's Oil Rates.

Washington, May 16.-In a decision
rendered today dismissing the COM
plant in the case of E. H. Without
Railroad company, the interstate COM
merce commission held that "to make
distance the sole factor in determining
a reasonable rate would introduce I'M
due discrimination and create chaotic
commercial conditions"
The complainant stated that the car
riers' rates on refined oil at the date
of his petition, from Erie, Kan, to Jop-
lin. Mo-, SO miles, and to st. Louis,
400 miles, were II cents per hundred
pounds. Later the rate from Erie to
Joplin was reduced to Is cents, which
is the rate prevailing from other oil
shipping points in Kansas to Joplin In
its decision the commission says:
1.-The rates to Joplin, St Louis and
Kansas City from these producing
points are apparently adjusted with a
equitable basis and affording them
equal opportunities in the market"

ONLY ONE ARREST.
Street Car Trouble in San Francisco
Has Subsided.

San Francisco. Cal, May 16.-The
street car situation remained unchang-
ed this morning The United Rail-
roads ran about the same number of
cars as on yesterday and no disorder
has been reported beyond the arrest of
one man for attempting to interfere
with the passage of a car.
The report that the Geary street
road, an independent line, would run
cars this morning was premature. A
partial agreement to grant the men So
a day for an eight hour run has been
made but lacks the signature of Presi-
dent Platt. President Cornelius of the
Garments union is comforting with the
officers of the company and is con-
fdent that it's cars will be started some
time during the day.

Messages Come From the Crews of the
Lake and Octopus.

Newport, R. l., May 16.-Frequent
messages sent during the night by
means of submarine signalling, APP
paratus from the submarines Lake and
Octopus, which were sent to the bot
tom off the naval coaIing stations,

brought assurances to the members of
the naval trial board that everything
was in good condition on board the
submarines. The messages stated that
the men were taking four hour
watches, between which they secured
much rest. They were in good spirits,
the air was in perfect condition and
they were thoroughly comfortable.
Members of the trial board main
tanned two hour watches throughout
the night. According to the arrange
ments for a 24-hour test of the habit

TOPEKA is GROWING.
Increase in Population Over Last Year
Is Near One Thousand

That the city of Topeka is enjoying
a healthy and substantial growth in
population is attested by the returns
which have been made by William
Henderson. the city assessor to the
county clerk Hts figures on the pop
ulation of the city on March 1 of this
year shows that there has been an in
crease of nearlyjsa thousand over the
population on thessame date last year.
The total population of the city now
according to Mr.. Henderson's figures is
AZ, 1872 as compared with 1856 for last
year. 1t is likely that the population
is considerably larger than is shown in
the returns of Mr.. Henderson, for it is
well nigh impossible for the assessors
to get an accurate count of the people

him life membership in the National
Association of Professional Baseball
leagues, with the privilege of admis-

In accepting the card the president
expressed his warm thanks and said

offered to Runkel while the team was
in Kansas City when Cooley finally
made his decision to accept the man
agement of the Louisville team. After
a long conference between Cooley,
Crow and Runkel the latter was
finally prevailed upon to accept the
captaincy after a great deal of per-
suaSiOn. For over a week Runkel
has contemplated resigning as he did
not like the position from the very
first and in fact he has offered to re-
sign several times before but Crow
would not listen to it. In giving his
reasons for resigning to a reporter for
the State Journal Mr.. Runkel said this
morning: ST never felt that I was
the proper man for the place when L
was first induced to accept, as I had
never had any experience in manag-
ing a team especially a team about
whom I knew nothing I never felt
that I was aggressive enough on the
field and have always maintained with
Crow that the position of captain
should be given to a scrappier man.
also feel that the captaincy has placed
too much of burden on me and that
can play a great deal better ball
without the added duties of looking
after the team
Manager Herman Crow, in speak
ing this morning in regard to Rum
to me several days ago and asked to
be relieved of the captaincy but
would not listen to it as 1 thought he
was a good man for the place Sew
eral times since then he has brought
up the question and so persistent were
his requests to be relieved of the re-
sponsibility that I finally had to ac-
cede although it was with regret that
I did.
"Runkel. however. will remain with
the team and play third base as he did
while captain"
The appointment of Hurlburt will
occasion some surprise among the
fans as Spec has never captained a
team in all his baseball career. He
was about the only man left for the
place after Runkel resigned as Abb
