Interesting Discussion
One of the most earnest ana uni
mated debates in which the SQUAD mas
been engaged for several years, gre"
out Of the report of the committee on
the minutes of the General Assembly,.
To this report Rev. F. j. Brooke, y. ~
offered the following amendment as an
addition:
Whereas, the synod of Virginia be-
lieves the decision OF the last
General Assembly in the case of the
complaint of Rev. w. 1. sinnott versus
tho Prcsbytery OF North Alabama is
contrary to the constitution of our
church. and to the historic position of
our church; and
sWhereas, the record of the com.
plant In the minutes OF the assembly
does not apparently contain the fun
record OF the case, and conveys tho
impression that the assembly Travelled
outside the record; Therefore, be 1t
resolved:
Il. That the synod overture the
General Assembly TO convene in Louis.
vile, Ky. in May, 1911, to vacate the
Judgment and reopen the case, and re-
adjudicate it; or
g. To reconsider the action of the
last assembly, and take such action as
in the judgment of the next assembly
may be necessary to conform the ac-
rion of the assembly to our constitu-
ton and to the historic position of the
church,"
The history Of the case is this, in
br1ef. During the recent campaign in
alabama In connection with the adop-
ton OF the, prohibition amendment to
the Constitution of that State, Rev.
W. I. Sfnnott was very active in his
opposition to the amendment. His po-
sition as stated clerk of his synod and
OF his presbytery- was taken advantage
OF by the opponents of the amend
lnent, to claim that he represented
the Presbyterian Church in his oppo-
sit1on. The Presbytery of North Ala
lama .eoCh dClIou ulSdNO"lng any re-
sponsibility for or approval of his
course, and went further and approved
of the amendment to the State consti-
tuition. and urged its people to vote
for 1t, Mr.. Sinnott complained against
this action of the presbytery, and his
complaint Went TO the assembly. The
ground Of the complaint was that
the action of the presbytery decided a
political question

JEFFRIES DOES
SOME FAST WORK

Ben Lomond, June 5.-James Jeffries
performed prettily today before 500
spectators in his ira ming camp gymna-
SUM. Three rounds of speedy sparring
with Joe Choynski set the crowd wild
with delight.
The pace was so fast that 1t is doubt
full IL Choynsk1 could have gone many
more rounds. Jeffries came out of it
smiling. He was in rare good humor,
and boxed with his face to the crowd,
that they could get a good look at
him.
The gymnasium programme included
rope skipping, bag punching, shadow
boxing and a short tug at the chest
weights. Another little sparring ma tch
not on the programme was the feature
of the day. The principals were Jim
Corbett and Choynski, who had been bit
ter enemies since their last battle, in
1889, until they recently met here The
men now are inseparable cronies. They

HESITATION In
DRY GOODS TRADE

New York, June 5.-The break in cotton
and security prices during the week
caused hesitation in cotton goods trading,
hut prices have held fairly steady and
mills were not disposed to accept further
contracts at losses. This latter phase of
trading is more clearly manifest and
curtailment of production is being resort
ed to rather than to pile up stocks job
bers and retailers are buying from hand
to mouth and are admittedly carrying
light stocks.
Staple prints we're revised to basis OF
B1h cents for Americans, half a. cent a
yard down, but the response from buyers
has been light. Brown domestics rule
quiet and bleached goods and snghams
are only being sold In small scattering
lots. Fall River sold only 5000 pieces OF
print cloths during the week, of which
5000 were spots, the balance futures.
The export demand from the large east
ern markets remains dull.
Miscellaneous markets are generally
quiet, but there are several inquiries for
yarns on contract at figures which mills
steadily decline to accept, because of the
low relative prices. Spinners see nothing
10 make them think that cotton for spin
ming purposes is to be cheaper in the near
future and mill managers prefer to close
until the market is ready to pay Z parity
of cotton prices for cotton goods Aside
from the influences of general trade on
the dry goods markets the conditions of
stocks are healthfu, and jobbers will
soon be forced In
