and progress. Only six church.

spond in full to all the calls of
the church for the Home and
Foreign Mission Funds, pastors 8
salary, etc. All of the Lancaster
churches had a clean sheet on
this score.
Harmony prevailed in all the
churches except the 1st church
in Charlotte. An unfortunate diff
ficnlty exists there between the
pastor and part of the congre.
cation. The pastor rendered
his resignation, but the majority
of the congregation refused to
acquiesne in his request. A COM
mission was appointed by Pres
bytery to inquire into the facts
in the case and present their re
port to an adjourned meeting OF
Presby;ery to be held in Char.
lotte on Nov. 17th, when final
action will be taken.
In the meantime petition
was granted tor the organization
of a new church in the Dilwort h
section of the city. This makes
the fifth A. 4 p. church in the
city.
Two calls were presented from
vacant churches. 1t is likely
that both will be accepted and
pastors installed soon, as follows:
Rev j. w. Simpson at Concord
and Rev R. A. Young at Kings
Mountain, N. @.
PeLilions for moderation of
calls were granted tor Yorkville,
and also Tor Lancaster and Shi-
Ion congregations.
The discussion of the tithe
question occupied considerable
time, but facts show that SEMI
ment in favor OF this plan is strong
and growing in this Presbyter,
and throughout the church.
The following paper was pre-
sented by the representative Ct

recent action OF Presbytery in

Ways and Means Committee Told That
Many or the Furnishings Come In Free.

WARRINGTON, Dec. 18.-It looks az
II in the future American millionaires
would find it necessary TO build their
pleasure yachts in American shipyards.
Ex-Congressman Lewis N. Payson of
Illinois, attorney for the Newport News
Shipbuilding Company, told the Ways
and Means Committee to-day that If they
meant to adhere to the policy Of taxing
luxuries they should begin by taxing
yachts, which come in free Of duty.
The committee members were some
what surprised to hear that many articles
which go to make up the furnishings
OF the modern yacht come in free with
the yacht, whereas If such things were
imported singly they would be subject
TO a high rate Of duty. The committee
members. by their Questions, indicated
that they believed a discrimination had
been practised in the admission Of yachts
which will be remedied when the new
tariff bill is reported.
In the course OF the questioning the
fact was ELECTED that Joseph Pulitzer
had brought in the Liberty, a foreign
built yacht free of duty, including her
furnishings.

TESTS FOR MARINE CORPS.
Field Omcers Must Ride 90 Miles and Line
Omcers Walk 80 Miles I'm Three Days.

WASHINGTON, Dec. 16.-President
Roosevelt has signed an executive order
prescribing a physical test for officers
Of the Marine Corps. The test must be
taken at least once in every two years
and Is similar to the riding test for officers
Of tho army. All field officers Of the
Marine Corps are required to take rid
ing test Of ninety miles in three days.
Line officers in the grade Of Captain or
Lieutenant will be required to walk fifty
miles in three days, or twenty hours
actual marching time. A new feature
Of the walk is that during ono Of the
m arching periods officers will be re-
quired to double time" at intervals
The order says:
In battle time ground may have TO be
covered on the run; IL officers are not
equal to the average physical strength
Of their companies the men will be held
back, Resulting in unnecessary loss of
life and probably defeat. Company Of
fcers win therefore be required during
one Of the marching periods to double
time 700 yards with half minutes rest.
then 800 yards with one minutes rest.
and then complete the test in a 200 yard
dash, making in all 700 yards on the double
time, with one and one-haf minutes
rest.
Field officers of the perma nent staff
OF the Marine Corps who have arrived
at an age and rank which renders il
highly improbable that they will ever be
assigned to any duty requiring participa-
ton in active military operations in the
field may upon their own application
be excused from the physical test. but
not from the physical examination"

PANAMA CANAL RECORDS.
Result OF Search for Company's Minutes
and Lists OF Stockholders

WASHINGTON. Deo l8.-President Roose
welt transmitted to the Senate to-day q
letter from Paul Charlton. law officer OF
the Insular Bureau. in regard to the in.
formation in the War Department files on
the Panama Canal affair. The latter ID
dated December O.. 1908, and submits
memoranda for the consideration of
the Secretary of War The features Oft
are the following:
"By your direction in connection with
Mr.. Rogers. general counsel OF the 18TH
mian Canal Commission and the chief OF
records, l reexamined the records and
files OF the Isthmian Canal Commission in
Washington. especially with the view OF
ascertaining whether they contained any
minutes of the final meeting Of the stock
holders of the new Panama Canal Com
pany, held in Paris on April 2s, 1904,
as required in the letter to the President
to you. dated December Z. 1908.
Il am satisfied that saw all the papers
on file with the Isthmian Canal Commits
sion in Washington bearing on this sub
ect and among them was not contained
any copy of the minutes above referred to.
"The conveyance to the United States
included. besides the property and rights
of the new Panama Canal Company. its
archives On my first examination of
the documents of title which passed to
the United States. made by the direction
of the Secretary Of War in May, 1905, the
only papers which found, or which are in
posse ssion Of the Canal Commission to-
day. which could properly be brought
under the designation archives were
the extremely voluminous and very numer-
GUS technical engineering and mechanical
studies made in behalf Of the French Pan
ANA Canal Company, consisting Of books
Of estimates and calculation and Of many
thousands Of blue prints and drawings.
Besides these, property to be olassed as
archives were notarial Instruments in
Spanish and French, evidencinR the title
of ownership of the French canal COM
pany. the various plats and pieces of
land upon the Isthmus OF Panama within
what is now the Canal Zone and in the
cities of Panama and Colon. There was
also conveyed to the United States the
stock Of the Panama Railroad Company,
operating the Isthmus railway. and line
OF steamships from New York. which is
now in the sole ownership Of the United
States.
Neither at the date Of my first examina-
ton in May. 1905, nor now were there
among the records Of the Isthmian Canal
Commission in Washington any lists Of
stockholders, either in the old or the new
Panama Canal Company, or any minutes
of the meetings Of either Of those COM
panies, except the formal minutes Of the
new Panama Canal Company authorizing
