Secretary Foster Says There Will Be No Diff- anticipated no difficulty in meeting the quar- terly pension payments,aggregating $26,000,000, which fall due June 4 The available cash balance is now nearly $16,000,000 and will Bo beyond $26,000,000 by the early part of June by reason of the continued ex- cess of receipts over expenditures. The Secre- tary said there would be nonecessity, eofarashe could see, for calling in any of the government deposits held by national banks to meet pen- sion obligations. This bank fund now amounts to €24,500,000, exclusive of money deposited to the credit of disbursing officers. Secretary Foster said further, in response to inquiries on the subject, that while it was not altogether settled it was more than likely that the department would give the holders the $50,000,000 434 per cent bonds outetand- ing an opportunity to renew those bonds after September 1 at a reduced rate of interest. The Secretary said a San Francisco banker had ven the opinion that these bonds could be loated at 135 per cent interest. He, however, did not think sucha thing feasible with an interest rate less then 2 per cent. It was his impression that the matter would be settled definitely in a short time. He said that the recent gold shipments had clearly established one thing, and that was that the credit of the United States was above that of any other nation, and could not be shaken by the severest drain. ‘The financial situation was considered at the meeting of the cabinet today, but without result, so far as known. COAL CONSUMPTION, An Order to Naval Officers Requiring Eco- momical Use of Coal. As the new navy increases and full-powered steam vessels take the place of the old modern ships which relied in part upon their sail powor for propulsion, the amount of coal consumed increases in rapid proportion. This fact has led to the issuing of the following order by the Secretary of the Navy today: General Order No. 390.—Officers in com- mand of naval forces, whether squadrons or single ships, are directed to practice the utmost economy in the use of coal. At the first favorable opportunity after the receipt of this order commanding officers of vessels will make experiments in order to ascer- tain the most economical rate of speed for their ships under conditions of ordinary service and fair weather. Reporte will be made to the de- | aehagerad stating the consumption of coal per jour at varying rates of speed, from five to eleven knots, the kind and quality of coul used the condition of the bottom as far as known, an such remarks in reference to the most economi- cal rate of s of the vessel as the experi- ence of the commanding officer may suggest. ‘Vessels with sail wer not cruising in a squadron when they have a fair wind sufficient tocarry them more than four knots an hour will make ordinary passages under sail alone, steam being employed only when going in and out of port. It is expected that vessels cruis- ing under steam, whether in squadron or singly, will not exceed their most economical rate ex- cept in cases of emergency, where the nature of the service requires a high speed, and in such cases a report will be made to the depart- ment explaining the necessity for such in- creased speed and stating its extent and dura- tion and the quantity of coal consumed in con- sequence. 4 a GEN. GIBSON RETIRED. His Long and Honorable Service in the Army—His Farewell Order. Col. Horatio Gates Gibson, commanding the third artillery, with headquarters at Washing- ton barracks, was today placed on the retired list of the army on account of age. He was born in Maryland May 22, 1827, and entered the Military Academy July 1, 1843; graduated and was appointed brevet second lieutenant, second artillery, July 1, 1847; second lieutenant, third artillery, 8th September, 1817; first lieutenant, 26th May, 1851; captain, 14th May, 1961; major, 5th February, 1867; lieuten. ant colonel, second artillery, 19th April, 1852; colonel, third artillery, 1st December, 1888. He was brevetted major, to date Sth May, 1862, for gallant and meritorious services in the bat- tle of Williamsburg, Va.; lieutenant colot 1ith September, for Antictam, Md.; colonel, 18th March, 1865, for gallant services during e war. In the volunteer service he was made lieu- tenant colonel, second Ohio artillery, August 1, 1863, and colonel on the 15th of’ the same month; brevet brigadier general March 18, 1865; honorably mustered out August 23, 1865. Nearly every one in Washington is familiar with the t fpr of the general, as he has been stat ed at the “barracks” for several yearsand appeared in command of the troops ‘upon many occasions. His retirement will promote Lieut. Col. La- Rhett L. Livingston and Maj. Edmund C. Bambridge of the same regiment to be colonel and lieutenant colonel respectively. Capt. Frank ton of the second will be pro- moted major of the third. First Lieut. Louis Y. Caziare of the second will be promoted to captain of that regiment and Second Lieut. Louis Ostheim will be promoted to be first lieu of the second. Col. Gibson issued a farewell order yesterday his command, expressing gratification at boing succeeded by so worthy and capable an officer as ‘vingston, of long, gallan faithful and meritorious service. i In his order he says that be has been identi- fied with the t for @ full half century and his heart and home have ever been with it He was with it from the days of his youth in 1841, when it proudly marched the streets of Baltimore under Ringgold, to its last salute the banks of the under Lancaster, to From the the pioneers of the land. cit ‘of Mexico to nase on the Potomac the ret jcer says the ties of my22 1TH AND O BTS. 8.2. | diamonds in British Guiana has created con- = = siderable excitement in that colony and the Thee Oa eRe ag ABSOCIATION.— | matter has become the subject of official in- | Gis ihe. rst. a we Tab Re AT S| vestigation. ‘The governor general of the col. 7:45 pm.

He said in intro- duction that the copy from which he was read- ing was the only correct one and that he re- gretted that some of the daily papers had by some means got hold of and published one of the partially incorrect copies which were dis- tributed to the assembly. After the reading of the report it was moved that it be sent down to the presbyte- Ties as recommended by the committee. It was moved by Dr. Hayes that the report be now ac- cepted as a part of progress, and the stated clerk directed to print the same under the supervision of the committee! and send it down to the presbyteries in accordance with its rec- ommendations, and the committee be con- tinued, to make final report tothe next as- PARISIANS IN A PANIC.

Dr. Patton of the revision committee supported the resolution. He would have pre- ferred, on strictly technical grounds, that the report be recommitted and the committee be directed to send it down to the presby- teres rather than for the assembly to itself send it down, because some might misunderstand that action as implying some degree of indorsement of the recom. mendations of the report.

We did not mean to re-Calvinize and we did not. Every one who expected any- thing of that sort will be disappointed to his satisfaction or dissatisfaction, as the case may be. We want the assembly to continue the com- mittee that it may get the benefit of the criticisms of the presbyterios, and think more atlength about some mooted points, before making final report. Some who might, if it had been a final report, have felt constrained to make # minority report have not done so upon some points. We were not unanimous, although so harmonious. “We want to see bow the church views the pored changes and the proposed methods of making changes vefore deciding to stand out for anything that does not in the report. We want the report to be criticised without any restraint from a misapprehension of unanimity in the sessions of the committee.” The motion was unanimously adopted and the great debate was over for this year as far as the general assembly is concerned. v.
