It was neces- sary always for persons to speak to me in quite » loud voice. which, of course, to man in business, isa wreat source of annoyance.’ The ringing in my ears was continual, but generally worse ig damp weather. ‘Then my nose would stuff up more or less and would feel dry and feverish.

TRICKED INTO A MARRIAGE, THE GENERAL ASSEMBLY, Convening of the Supreme Body of the Pres- byterian Church. Dernorr, Micu., May 21.—The one hundred and third annual meeting of the Presbyterian general assembly convened this morning in the First Presbyterian Church in this city After invocation by the Rev. Dr. Rad- cliffe, pastor of the church, and sing- ing “All Hail the Power of Jesus’ Name” by the congregation, Rev. Dr. F. L. Patton, president of Princeton, read the sixtieth chap- ter of Isaiah,and prayer was offered by Rev.Dr. James T. Smith of Baltimore. Rev. Dr. Wm. E- Moore of Cincinnati, moderator of the last as- sembly,delivered the opening assembly sermon from Jobn, iii: 17, “For God sent not his Son into the world to condemn the world, but that the world through Him might be saved.” After remarking on the spirit of unrest that is abroad Dr. Moore went on to say that there was also unrest in thechurch. ‘The demand for the revision of her yenerable standard did not spring from dissatisfaction with the foundation rock of the confession, God's eternal purposes, but chiefly from the desire of a fuller expression of the love of God for the world. The gravest questions which would demand the attention of the assembly were those which pertained to their standards, both the subordinate and the | Tp, supreme. He prayed them to approach these momentous questions in the spirit of unwaver- ing loyalty to the truth. ADJOURSMENT FOR LUNCHEON. After the sermon the assembly adjourned for luncheon. At 3 o'clock it reassembles for the election of ite moderator, the naming of its committees and of clerks and of the adoption of rules for the government of the as sembly. ‘There re several candidates for moderator. The more prominent are Rev. Dr. C. A. Dickey of Philadelphia, Rev. Mr. Green of Princeton, Rev. Dr. Baker of Phila- delphia, Rev. Dr. Erskine of Newville, Tenn., and Rev. J. Gilbert. ‘There seems to be a notion that the Briggs question will enter into the proceedings of the eneral assembly from the start and will make itself felt in the selection of the moderator. eames MRS.

Raum, jr., cannot be prosecuted for gu offense against 'the statutes of the United Commissioner Roosevelt was at the White Honse this morning and laid the matter before the President. He strongly urged that some such step be taken, for the protection of the integrity of the civil service and the punish- ment of the offender. WHAT ATTORNEY GENERAL MILLER SaYs. The Attorney General said to a Stam re porter that he had not yet seen any request for an opinion coming from the civil service commission and that if one should come he conld not consider it unless it was forwarded by the President. He is au- thorized by law to render opinions only when asked for them by President and the heads of departments. As the, civil service commission is not under the jurisdiction of ie departments, a request for an opin- ion must be made through ‘This fact may have some bearing on the case in view of the long interview between the President and Commissioner Raum yesterday afternoon, the result of which is unknown. e talk is understood not to have been alto- gether satisfactory to Mr. Raum. GEN. BAUM WARNED. The President is said to have given the com- missioner a polite berating for having inferen- tially impeached the fairness of his superior officer, Secretary Noble, in his action in the case of young Raum, The commissioner's interviews on the eubject have all been to the effect that there was no truth in the charges against his son and thet he was the victim of a conspiracy, words that have nettled the President and Secretary Noble be- yond the point of silent endurance. The general belief is that there will be no action taken at present with regard to the com- missioner himself, whatever may become of his son's cave, but that Gen. Raum has been warned of the fate that befell his predecessor in the pension office. COMMISSIONER ROOSEVELT NON-COMMUNICATIVE. Civil Service Commissioner Roosevelt was decidedly non-communicative when asked by a Srar reporter whether there was any foundation for the rumor that criminal pro- ceedings would be instituted against Green B. Raum, jr. “This commission,” aaid Mr. Roosevelt, “‘has made its report on the matter to the heads of the proper departments.” More’ than’ that the Commissioner would not say. It is understood, however, that copies of the report were sent to Secretary Noble. who at once called for young Raum's resignation; to Secretary Foster, who will, it is believed, remove from office the colored man Straun’(to whom Smith said he —— —— ment.

SECPETART FOSTER THINKS THERE 1 XO ROOM FOR IT AND THAT ITS LIFE WILL BE SHORT—SENATOR CHANDLER, COL. WHITYIELD AND LABOR LEADERS EXPRESS THEIR VIEWER “The broad and generous public policy of the republican party is such,” said Secretary of the Treasury Foster to a Stan reporter, “that there is no room for « third party: anew Political organization could not do anything necessary to our national comfort or prosperity without stealing republican thunder. The wild schemes of these third party advocates, such asthe loaying of government funds on real estate or personal property, cannot have lodgment in the minds of sensible people, and movements based on these eccentricities are necessarily short-lived and ephemeral. I am therefore not surprised at the news which comes from Cincinnati of great dissen- sions, marked differences of opinion as to policies to be adopted and much variableness asto the time when this new third party should be formed. There is disagree~ ment enough in the aggrecetion at Cincin- nati to make half a dozen parties. It seems to me that the organizers will find it quite a diffiqnlt feat to unite suloon keepers and prohibitionists and woman suffragists and those who oppose them with the advocates of the myriad schemes recently proposed for the alleged relief of what the schemers are pleased to term ‘the distresses of the people.” “Thave much more faith in good crops and F904 Prices—produced by honest Inbor—than have in any of the so-called means of relief espoused by the Indies and genflemen now in session at Cincinnati. Providence is giving us good crops and the McKinley bill will give us good prices; this means that Presi: dent Harrison wil be rencuinated and that repul ty will be mphant at the ‘next election, And. the ‘third’ party? That will be ail right. By that time the prosperity of its memberslip—in common with all other inhabitants of this country— will be such that I doubt not that thousands of them will visit Washingion on the occasion of President Harrison's roinauguration. They will be heartily welcomed. WHAT SENATOR CHANDLER THINKR. “I do not look unkindly on this third party movement,” said Senator William E. Chandler this afternoon. “It isa movement of reason. ‘There is no money to back it up and therefore there is nothing threatening in the forces which its followers have put in operation. They op} to the intelligence of the people from the plat- form and through the pressand are, theretore, entitled to ail respect. Their platform, which I glanced at rather hastily, struck me as being dangerous, with the possible exception of the Plank, relating to | the | government control of railroad, and the first of that resolution has good deal of sound sense in it. Taking out this railroxd Plank there is nothing lett to which any : siderable portion of the American ie wil subscribe i COL. WHITFIELD'S VIEWS. Col. Whitfield, the first assistant postmaster general, in speaking of the new party said that there was an advantage to all concerned in janization, for then it was _ possi- le to ‘know what such an element wanted and their numbers. He did not know from which of the two old partics they would draw their strength, but it hud always been the rule in the past that the adherents of a new party came most largely from the republican party. This might not be the case with the present movement. At any rate he thought that both parties would go into the fight under more favorable auspices than was the case last fall when it was not known actually what the Farmers’ Alliance men were or what they wanted. IT WILL HELP THE DEMOCRATS. “Yes, Iam aware of the fact that there isa third party,” said Representative Crain of paid #200 for a position), and to Attorney General Miller, who bas the legal end of the case in charge. —~___—ee ——____ FINANCIAL AND COMMERCIAL.

Mr. Lawrence Gronlund, the nationalist leader, said to a Stan reporter, “The move- ment that crystallized at the Cimeinnati con- vention is a great thing and must necessarily result in good. I am glad to see any movement in the direction of socialism and the present condition of affairs shows con- clusively that the socialist idea has entered into the heads of the farmers of the south. I heard Senator Peffer speak when be ‘was in Washington. “I disagrec entirely with almost everything he said and yet I cannot but recognize the merits that underlie the movement. The fact that the clause in the pintform adopted in Cin- cinnati nationalizing commerce and industries was side tracked means but little. It was no More than had expected. The people are Rot far enough advanced for that ides tet, but they are coming to it steadily and rapidly.” SEEMS FORMIDABLE, BUT I8 ONLY SPORADIC. “This movement of the people,” said Mr. Simon Wolf, ‘seems to be formidable, but I really believe it is only sporadic. The people of this country are too settled and conservative for the new party to at much importance. Yet the fecling that has given rise to the forma. tion of the third party 1 a warning to the two already existing to listen to the will of the poople. I do not to underrate the importance of the discontent throughout the land, but Ido not think this movement so serious as to affect either party to any extent or to bring the election into the House of Representatives. The plat- form as adopted has many good points in it, points that would be good if we could have an ideal state of things, but as matters are nowadays it is all decidedly Utopian. It seems to” me that the farmers are dis- satisfied and want something, they do not know just what, and they are being used as Company, ist 48, 110 bid, —asked.

Mr. A. K. Browne said: “I have been so mersed in professional business that I feel incompetent to give an opinion that would be of value. In glancing over the proceedings in this morning's papers I cannot see anything formidable in it, nor anything for which the Republican party (which is increasing in favor with the intelligent people daily)" need ‘be alarmed. I recognize among its (the third party) leaders but few prominent men or men who can make any pretensions to states- manship, and neither have any reason to fear uny opposition from it, In saying this I have the highest respect and sympa‘ i and farmer, my father having been both before me, and am, satiated that al these supposed wrongs can be righted in, by and through our (republican) party.” H HE Halt Z i H i i TE i ! il ili i i i i f t | HR} a ; if F § for the | day. 5 any serious consideration is given the move For mvaelf 1 sympathize as the in the financial s system of ‘the country ty. ate, ‘proper "and men sssembled in Cincinnati cl poopie, Nad es such they will find = in sympathy with them government, “It is bardly time,” remarked Mr. Gardner, “to criticise the movement.
