TWO BILLS UNDER CONSIDERATION. The River and Harbor Bill in the ar - House. RICHMOND'S COMING GALA DAY. NAVAL BILL IN THE SENATE. | President Patton Trains Heavy ceeaeet Ordnance on Revision. In presenting a petition from an antimony company in Arkansas for an increase of duty on antimony Mr. Berry said that while it was his duty to present it he did not agree with the petitioners, as he was opposed to the imposing of duties on any articles for the sake of pro- tection. A bill was reported by Mr. Pasco, and placed on the calendar, for the protection of actual settlers in Florida on lands on which deposits of phosphates have been discovered since the entries were made. Mr. Butler introduced a bill, which was re- ferred to the library committee, appropriating $50,000 for an equestrian statue of Gen, Francis Marion in Columbia, 8.C. LIQUORS IMPORTED INTO PROHIBITORY STATES. Mr. Faulkner gave notice of an amendment to the bill relating to liquors imported into prohibitory states—providing that such liquors shall be considered as incorporated as part of the common mass of property within the state, and subject to regulation, control and taxation in the exercise of the state's police powers. INQUIRY AS TO THE UNITED STATES TROOPS AT CEDAR KEYS. Mr. Call offered a resolution calling on the President for information as to the landing of anarmed force from the revenue cutter Mc- Lane at Cedar Keys, Fla., the forcible entry of houses and the pursuit of citizens in the sur- rounding country, and asked for its adoption. Mr. Edmuuds—Let it go over. I do not know that it states the truth, The resolution went over. TO EXPAND THE CURRENCY. Mr. Cockreil, at the request of the Wage Workers’ Alliance of Washington, D.C., intro- duced a bill (which was referred to the commit- tee on finance) for the expansion of the cur- rency and presented resolutions from the al- liance as to the “burying” of their financial Propositions in the committee on finance. THE NAVAL APPROPRIATION BILL. The consideration of the naval appropriation INFANT DAMNATION TO BE DISCLAIMED ecieettibineesoa IT MAY LEAD TO WAR. An Insult to the Wife and Daughter of the Russian Dragoman. ConstantINoPLe. May 23,—It has been ascer- tained that the ladies belonging to the Russian embassy who were assaulted while walking at Buyukdere were not the daughter of the dragoman of the embassy and her governess, but his wife and daughter. Neither were the offenders Turkish soldiers, as at first stated, but were a Turkish officer and five students. The ladies were walking in a garden when they were seized by the officer and students, who forcibly kissed them. A party of sailors belonging to a Russan dispatch boat hap- ee] to be im the garden, They eard the ladies cry for help and ran to their rescue. They captured four of the assailants, but the fifth succeeded in making his rr for the time being. The sailors conveyed their prisoners to the Russian em- bassy and delivered them into the keeping of M. De Nelidoff, the Russian ambassador. The day after the assault was committed the men who made his escape was arrested and locked up at the embassy, where his companions are sull detained, The Turkish authorities asked that the pris- oners be turned over to them for trial and punishmen;, but M. De Nelidoff refuses to transfer them to the Ottoman officials, basing his refusal on the ground that Turkish justice is illusory, The affair has created much comment, and it is feared that it will result in complications between the Russian and Turkish governments, = STRIKES ENDED. Ex-Congreasman Scott’s Men Go Back— McKeesport Tube Workers Kesume. Scorrnaven, Pa., May 23.—The miners at bill was resumed, and the amendment " of the committee on appropriations | W- L. Scott's works were notified yesterday to strike out the item of $50,000 | that the firm would pay them I cent less than the Columbus scale. Scott's miners and the greater portion of the Youghiogheny river m ‘ners have been on a strike for the Columbus seule. All wi!l resume in full today, the pro- posal having been accepted by the men, PrrtspcrG, May 23.—The big strike at the National Tube Works at McKeesport ended this morning by the men going back to work. They demanded an i but the company has offered a satisfactory |o promise, Several thousand men were involved an the strike, as the National Rolling Mill was also shut down. ee, MISS LEE WILL BE THERE. for repairs of the dry dock at the Boston navy yard was disagreed to. So the item remains in the bill. ‘The next amendment was to strike out the appropriation of $50,000 for reconstructing buildings (destroyed by fire) at Portsmouth, N.H., navy yard.” After discussion this amend- ment was also disagreed to, Several other amendments reported by the committee on ap- propriations to strike out other items for the same navy yards were likewise disagreed to. These were, however, the text of a discus sion over the general policy as to the coutinu- ance or closing of most of the navy yards of the country. ‘This discussion was participated in by Messrs, Gorman, Call, Blair and Hiscock. Pending the discussion the silver bill was at 2 p.m, taken up as the unfinished business and laid aside informally. Senate bill fora public building at Canton, Ohio, cost not to exceed $100,000, was taken from the calendar and passed. THE TAMIFF BILL was received from the House and referred to the committee on finance. Senate bill for « public building at Racine, Wis., cost not to exceed $100,000, was reported and placed on the calendar. Mr. Stanford addressed the Senate in ad- vocacy of the bill introduced by him some days ago providing for floans by the government on agricultural lands, HOUSE, Mr. Flower (N.Y.) introduce ing oleomargarine to the pro of the several states. Referred. On motion of Mr. Vandever (Cal.), from the committee on irrigation, a resolution was adopted calling on the Secretary of War for certain information relative to the climate of Arizona, New Mexico and other parts of the arid region. THE RIVER AND HARBOR BILL. The House then went into committee of the whole, Mr. Burrows (Mich.) in the chair, on the river and harbor bill. Mr. Elliott (S.C.) moved to increase the ap- propriation for improving Winyaw bay, South Carolina, from $100,000 to $150,000. The mo- tion was lost. THINKS THERE ARE EVIDENCES OF LOG ROLLING. Mr. Williams (Ohio), speaking to a verbal amendment, criticised several items in the bill as evidences of log rolling on the part of the committee, and said that this was no time— when the soldiers were knocking at the doors of Congress for their just rights—to spend ex- travagant sums in the improvement of streams four miles in length. KEMMLER’S LAST HOPE GONE, The United States Supreme Court Denies the Application for a Writ of Error. Richmond Preparing for the Unveiling of the Lee Statue. Ricumonp, Va., May 23.—Miss Mary Lee, the eldest daughter of Gen. R. E. Lee, has ar- rived in New York from Europe and will be present at the unveiling of the equestrian statue of the general.

He was one of Gor- don’s chief lieutenants in the last campaign, panne sd ec Plans of English Liberals. Loxpox, May 23.—The liberals are extremely anxious to force a general election at as an early day as possible, owing to the discontent aroused among the British taxpayers by the land pur- chase bill and the belief that that discoutent would involve a liberal victory. In every speech made by the Gladstonians the cost of the land purchase scheme is kept prominently to the front, the figures being placed at £150,- 000.000, instead of the goverament estimate of £30,000,000. Moet SEES Two Sides to Everything. Spnixorrenp, May 23.--Mr. Wm. H. Dunston, a resident of Russia thirty years and American vice consul general at St. Petersburg, is here. He takes decided issue with George Kennan, whom he calls a sensationalist, given to exag- geration. Mr. Dunston says the Russian prisons are as humanely conducted as our own. The people of 8t. Petersburg love the czar. With the empress he can be seen nearly every day driving through the streets, with only a soldier on the seat with the driver, and he does foot- man’s duty. The American colony in St. Petersburg, Mr. Dunston says, deprecate the abuse of the Russians, and do not approve of Kennan’s lectures, and Mr. Dunston will do al in his power to counteract his influence in this country, The Supreme Court of the United States to- day denied the application for a writ of error in the case of William Kemmler, under sen- tence of death by electricity in New York. Chief Justice Fuller delivered the decision. The opinion first recites the proceedings in the lower courts leading up to the bringing of the case to this court. The court says that it is urged in Kemmler’s behalf that the four- teenth amendment isa prohibition on the state of the imposition of cruel and unusual punish- ment, this being included in the term “due process of law.” ‘The origin of the phrase “CRUEL AND UNUSUAL PUNISHMENT,” the court said, was in the English act of settle- ment of 1688 and meant that barbarous meth- ods of punishment should not be inflicted. It meant that a man should not tenced to death by torture, not mean that the death penalty itself was cruel. The court of — appeals, the inion says, held that the punishment in- flicted on Kemmler was unusual, but there was no evidence to show that it was cruel. The From Wall Street Today.

Dr. Patton of Princeton Fires a Big Gun Against Unwise Revision. Saratoaa, N.Y., May 28—The important uusiness before the Presbyterian assembly thie Morning was consideration of providing acom- Wittee on revision. Two resolutions were be- fore the house, one by Rev. Dr. MeOrackea of New York and the other by Elder Henry Day. Dr. Patton of Princeton College held the floor, declining to yield to Elder Day and Dr. Herrick Johnson, who ased the privilege of roading resolutions. Dr, Patton, who hi been regarded as leader of the anti-revision ists, said: *“Dhis is the most serious momept im the life of this assemb: We represent differ~ ences of opinion, * too late to raise the question as to the wisdom of the last assembly m submitting the overtures upon which we are about to act, but it is my opinion that it was @ very unwise act. I oppose from the very e bottom of my heart the submission of Dr. Me- Cracks * resolution tothe assembly. Out of ’ of this assembly only eight an absolutely newereed. I donot ece the ty for any alteration in the confession of But 134 presbyteries have expressed msclves in favor of it, and I bow to the th | opinion of the majority thus expressed, [Great applause. | ~Now, then, how shall we go at it? It seems i= be the general pion that the best to appoint a comu o consider the matter | anc port to the next assembly. I don't care | how you appoint the committee, but Dr. Me- | Cracken’s resolution reads as though he was living im the middie ages and was assisting im the pointment of a Doge of Venice. We could do it in uch shorter way, We should appoint this committee because it is a right thing todo. The church has a right to revise her creed and I will detend that right [sensa- tion}, but what is the committee going to do? What are they for? Thope we shall not give this committee a roving commission. I wish | them to understand that no change shall be made that will in any way impair the integrity of the Calvinistic system. [Applause]. “Our confession of faith has been traduced, and I want this assenoly to reaffirm the standards of belief in the very terms in which tie committee is appointed. I don't want te pe a party to the mischief of letting it = go unrestricted. I want it ime structed, aud in such terms that whem it i y aed it will not be with » simple majority but ina way that the church will feel that th» whole assembly is in favor of it. Let us have peace. I'd goa little farther than that. Iwant them instructed that they shall confine their labors to such construction of phraseology as may be necessary to remove: popular misunderstanding, I will never confess that a total revision of faith We necessary. {Great « use}. I wish I had a voice that would reach around the world to reaftirm that there never was and never can be « just foun~ dation for the charge that we Presbyterians have ever believed im infant damnation or tha the doctrine is embodied in the Westminster standard.” [Moderate applause |, DR. PATTON'S AMENDMENT. Dr. Patton offered the following amendment to Dr. McCracken’s resolution: That a come mittee of ministers and elders, in number not less than fifteen, be appointed to consider the suggestions made by the presbyteries and re- port to the next assemb nd whereas minority of the.presbyteries have desired that no change be m therefore, Resolved. That the committee shall not pros pose amendments that will impair in any way the Calvinist system and that they shall confine their labors to such changes in phraseology a shall remove popul sunderstanding. Elder Day secured the floor and offered a stbstitvte for the resolutions of Dr, McCracken and Dr. Patton. It differs from Dr. Patton's in that it does not instruct the committee as to its scope, Dr. Herrick Jo said the assembly wae now in the ninth day of session and had only just begun consideration of the vital point om which their coustituents sent them, He moved that the assembly begin debate on the appoint« ment of a committee on revision and that it continue until a final vote is rerched, Adopted with applause, ler Day yeaid Dr. Patton's speech was a great snd pieasant surprise to everybody. It would surprise the entre country. “Brethrea the thing 1s done; revision is accomplished. Dr. Van Dyke of Brooklyn took the platforms “Yesterday I trembled inthe belief that th Presbyterian Church was ou the verge of great catastroph but my trembling haa vastly decreased since Dr. Patton's 8) he The situation reminds me of the story of thé lion ané lamb and for the life of me I can’t tell Which isthe lamb, Lhe great transcontinental train of revision starts trom Saratoga today. The first stop wili be at Prmceton Junction, [Laughter and applause.] Get aboard, every= body; the train won't stop long. It has started and there's not sand enough in New Jersey nor pig iron enough in Pennsvivania, pines in Michi- AU,0F WoUNtuins in the West to stop ite progress to the golden gate. I will not cousent to any restrictions on the revision committee, I é@ not agree with Dr. Patton that it was Onwise for the last assembly to send out the overture to the Presbyteries. (Cries of question.) Mr. Moderator, the wisdom of the last general ae- j sembly has been impeached. [Cries of “quess tion,” hisses aud appiause. | The moderator rapped for order and rule@ that Mr. Van Dyke nud the floor an@ must be heard. Dr. Van Dyke continued: “I want the shadow of infant damnation rocted out of the confession. Dr. Patton's confession would leave the questi suous. I don't want any ambiguity put in God's solemn declaration that none shall perish, Wy restrict the com mittee beyond the general deciaration? will err greatly if we do.” At 12:30 p.m. Dr. Crosby was recognized by the moderator and a recess was taken until 2:30. It is likely that one of the resolutions will be adopted this afternoon, At least that is the opinion of many of the commissioners, — A Lawn Tennis Tournament.
