THOUSANDS GREET
TAFT AT NASHVILLE
War Secretary Guest of Bar Associa-

on Philippines.

Nashville, Tenn. May 22.--Secretary
'of War William H. Taft addressed a
magnificent audience at the Ven.
dome theater here last night, the TAX
ing over Of the Philippines being his
subject Secretary Taft is here the
guest of the Bar association Of Tenn
essee. After giving a history of the ne
gotiations resulting in the purchase
Of the friar lands, Secretary Taft then
said:
"The Roman church in the Philip
pines is in a deplorable condition from
la property and financial standpoint.
This is most unfortunate for the is.
lands, viewed from a governmental
standpoint. The Catholic church must
|always be the most important influ.
ence for the uplifting of the Filipino
people, and its prosperity will always
make for the good of the Filipino peo.
pie. AS non-Catholic, sincerely be-
lieve. and think that there are no
Protestants that know the conditions
in the islands who do not admit that
it will be of much advantage to the is
lands to have the Roman Catholic
church restored to a condition of pros.
perity."

NO LEGISLATION
AFFECTING COURT
Conference Of Republicans Decides
That Adoption OF Such Measure
Would Be Unwise.

Washington, May 22.---No bill to
modify the power of the federal courts
in the exercise of injunctions will be
passed at this session Of Congress. It
was decided last night at conference
of the Republican of the House that
to adopt such measure would be
unwise. The conference was in ses.
sion from o'clock until 1880.
The various socalled anti-injunctlon
bills that have been introduced were
discussed and various amendments to
them were proposed. Between II
O'Clock and the hour OF adjournment
three votes of the caucus were cast.
The first vote was on motion OF Mr..
Fassett. Of New York, to adjourn the
caucus sine die. The motion was lost
GS to CO. Fifteen minutes later Mr..
Tawney, of Minnesota, moved to take
a recess until tomorrow night. This
motion was lost C2 to "a. At 1880 Mr..
Sherman Of New York, made motion
to adjourn sine die, and 1t prevailed
by vote of Is to &c.
Shortly after he had made this mo-
ton of adjournment Mr.. Fassett was
overcome by the heat of the atmos-
phere in the chamber and was assist
ed to the lobby. There he tainted.
Several of his colleagues and employ
es of the House restored him to con-
sciousness by the application of cold
water, and apparently he fully recov.
cred.
As indicated by the several votes
taken sentiment for and against a
modification bill was pretty evenly di-
vided and those who led in the debate
took part with much vigor and spirit

ST. LOUIS MINISTER
ELECTED MODERATORS
Rev. Or. Fullerton Choice Of Presby.
terlans - GENERAL Assembly
Largely Attended.

Kansas City. Mo, May 22.-Rev. DR..
Baxter p. Fullerton, of st. Louis, was
yesterday elected moderator of the
Presbyterian church in the United
States to succeed Rev DR.. William
H. Roberts, Of Philadelphia
The first day Of the general assem-
bly, of the church was characterized
by spirit Of unity and cooperation
which promises much for the results
to be accomplished during the ten
days the conference is to be in ses.
sion. The Rev. DR.. Fullerton was not
opposed in his candidacy for the Office
of moderator, his nomination and cleo
tion being unanimous and by accla.
nation. He was placed in nomination
by Rev. f. J. Nicolls, of ST. Louis
and the nomination was seconded by
Rev. Dr. Mack A. Matthews. pastor of
the First Presbyterian church of Seat.
tie. In assuming the duties Of moder.
|ator, DR.. Fullerton also became stat
ed clerk of the assembly.
The election of DR.. Fullerton has a
happy significance in the fact that he
belongs to the so-called southern
branch of the church, being the first
moderator that branch has had since
the amalgamation of the two church
les. He has been located in st. Louis
for fifteen years and for four years
was editor of the Missionary Record.
After the election Of moderator the
permanent organization OF the assem-.
bly, was effected
Dr. Roberts delivered his farewell
sermon as moderator before the great.
Jest audience that ever assembled at
a conference of the church. There
were psnsent eight hundred authorized
commissioners from all parts of the
world, besides thousands of other
Presbyterians and spectators. There
were present representatives from
Porto Rico, the Philippines, Alask9
and from a iozen other countries. 7 d
thousand with fully four
million adheienus, most of them COM
municants, were represented. DR.. Ro-
berts' sermon was an argument in fa-
vor of Christian cooperation and har-
mony in opposing the forces of evil
in the United States and the world.
The new moderator assumed his Of
fee at once and last night presided
at the administration of the Lords
supper in Convention hall. Sixty rul-
ing elders of the church assisted in
the ceremony.

BURGLARS DIVEST
SALOON OF WHISKEY
Carry Five Gallons of High Grade
Liquor Away From Club at
ToIar.

Tolar, N. NJ, May 22.-Some time
between o'clock and daylight Thurs
day morning burglars broke into the
Club saloon, owned by B. E. Blair
and made their getaway with about
five gallons of the best whiskey in
the house.
They were, undoubtedly, after whis-
key and nothing else, as the cash
drawer was open and contained a dol
lar or SO in small change, which was
untouched. The entrance was per.
fected by bending the iron bars that
are bolted across the back window
and breaking out the window light.
There were evidently two of them,
as their tracks show that one of them
went in at the window, unbarred the
back door and passed out the whis-
key and then barred the door and
came out Of the window. The track
shows the one that went in at the
window to have been wearing a small
dress shoe.

lows Change in Joint Tariff of
Texas.Mexico Lines.

Washington, May 22.-Agents +. A.
Leland of the Southwestern Tariff
Commission. and j. F. Tucker of the
Central Freight Association, have re-
ceived from the Interstate Commerce
Commission special permission to is
sue supplement to their joint tariff
providing for reduction in the mini
mum weights on carload shipments

leo governed by the Texas-Mexico
classification exceptions if supple
ments are filed with the commission
giving one days notice to the public.
on account OF the varying character
of the equipment used by the lines of
the state of Texas and those of Mex
icO
The question of minimum weights
has been a source of much perplexity
to the railroads as we'll as to shippers
and much time has been devoted to
the question by both parties. After
several conferences between the in
terested parties, the weights were ad.
justed to what was thought at the
time to be an equitable basis, the
adjustment, however, resulting in ma.
terial advances. A majority of the
shippers who had not been consulted
relative to the advance complained
seriously of the changes. This re-
suited in the reopening of the matter
and the application to the Interstate
Commerce Commission to withdraw
the advanced minimum weights and
restore the old basis until the question
is thoroughly threshed out and an
equitable adjustment reached.

the situation IS changed, thanks to the

ing the consideration of rules before

is even talk of making an effort to ef-
feet alliance with the Democrats for
the purpose Of electing a neW-idea Re

Election Not Likely.
This. however, is regarded as possible
only in the event that there should be
a protracted and bitter fight The Dem
Ocrats would. in normal circumstances,
have little desire 10 help the Republi-
cans out of their family row. and many
Republicans. even of insurgent ten

into such an alliance.
But this sort Of COalesCence for the
purpose OF forcing revision OF the rules
is by no means looked upon as impos-
sible. On the other hand. the posi-
bility OF such a campaign looms larger
every day
1t is known that Mr. Taft has listened
without manifestation Of disapprOVaI,
to discussion of the scheme. though
nobody has assumed to know that ne
