PRESsYTERIANs IN DIsCoRD.
Assembly Refuses to Weed Out an
Alleged Combination.

! Kansas City, May 27.-Discord en-
tered into the proceedings of the gen.
/ eral assembly of the Presbyterian
church for the first time during the
present assembly, while the report
of the committee on administrative
| agencies was under consideration.
DR.. Rice :. Hunter of Buffalo said
too much power was given to the 81
! men composing the committee on ad-
ministrative agencies. He said this
committee should he entirely free
from any special interest in any board
of the church.
After the report had been adopted,
Dr.. William D. Merrill of Chicago,
moved that the adoption of the report
be considered, and the motion carried.
Dr.. Merrill then offered an amend-
ment, which was to the effect that the
present committee on administrative
agencies be discharged and that
new committee of q members be ap-
pointed, to include all members of the
present committee who are not mem
bers of any of the church boards and
that all business pending between the
committee be reported on by the new
committee at the assembly next year.
The amendment was voted down

CORN CORNER
Gets TIGHTER
PATTEN DENIES IT'S HIS'N But
SAYS THE PRICE WILL GO
HIGHER.

Chicago, May ZI.-Ihe corner IN
May corn, i'll which James A. Patren
OF this city is generally accounted to
be the ruling spirit took on new life
yesterday and the price Of May corn
shot up So cents from the low point
Of the day. 1t closed AS above the
close OF Monday.
1t was the opinion OF many traders
that, generally speaking, settlement
had been made with the "Patten
crowd" TOR the greater part OF May
deliveries. The opening yesterday
was weak and the price OF May corn
dropped to 1872 There was little
corn to be hau, however, and when
the few buying orders had revealed
the scarcity, the market started UP,
By noon it had advanced 238, and
then it commenced TO rise with
great rapidity
The scene in the corn pit was one
Of the most exciting that has been
Witnessed for several years. Frantic
brokers yelled themselves hoarse, but
there was no corn to be had and the
price Of May advanced to 1875, where
it closed, five cents above the low
point of the day and AS cents higher
than Monday night
James A. PatJen appeared on the
board during the excitement but dis
claimed all knowledge if what had
caused the rise. He said:
All this talk of a corner is non
sense, but think corn Will sell
much higher than it is now l just
bought a lot of cash corn al the Man
price, u cents. and then turned
around and sold it to d shipper il
Buffalo for the same money shat 1t

Secretary Taft received a telegram
from William J. Bryan as follows: Il
beg to suggest that as leading candi-
dates of our respective parties we
join in asking congress to pass a bill
requiring the publication of campaign
contributions prior to election. If you
think best we can ask other candi-
dates to unite with US in the request"
Secretary Taft replied that on April
80 he sent a letter to Senator Burrows,
chairman Of the committee on priv
leges and elections of the senate, in
which he strongly favored the passage
of a bill which was then pending in
the senate and house; that he had
subsequently stated that he hoped the
