Foreign missions ig a subject which is not likely to provcke any heretical utterances, so the general spectators were not so much inter- ested in this morning's session of the general assembly asin those of the afternoon session when the assembly satasa high court to consider the appeal in the Briggs case. Still the members of the assembly seemed to have adeep interest in the subject of foreign mis- sions, the work in which the church has spent over a million dolla®® during the past year. Close attention was paid to the reports as they were read, and the stirring speeches that fol- lowed were applauded. ‘The assembly got through a good deal of work in the morning. The peremptory order for the afternoon was the Briggs case, ‘and the assem- bly is now to devote itself to that if it abides by its decision of yesterday until it is finished. REV. DR. DICKEY. The first business of the afternoon was tho arguments to be made in behalf of the prose- cuting committeo and by Dr. Briggs as to whether the appeal shall be entertained. ‘There is great pressure for admission to the church. Long before the assembiy convened this after- noon it was impossible for one to gain admittance to the galleries which are set aside for spectators. On the floor, besides the commissioners, were many clergymen of other denominations The galleries were well fiiled with Isdies before the recess was taken and most of these ladies sat through the two hours’ recess rather than lose their seats. ‘ ‘The Morning Session. Rev. Dr. Henry T. McClelland of Pittsburg conducted the opening devotional exercises. When the business cession was opened by the moderator at 9:30 o'clock Dr. Bartlett repeated announcements again concerning the carriage drive Saturday and the reception at the Columbian University tomorrow night. Dr. Roberts, the slated clerk, offered a reso- lution which was adopted by a’ staniling vote, recording the assembly's sincere appreciation of the hospitality of Senator and Mrs. Brice, and directing ‘that a copy of the resolution, roperly attested, be sent to Senator and Mra, Brice, through Dr. Bartlett, chairman of the committee of arrangements. Dr. Bartlett announced rules that would be carried out at this afternoon's session regarding the seating. In the body of the church, the five rows of seats in the rear, not needed by the assembly, would be op isitors, the prefer- ence being given to visiting clergymen who have much interest in the case pending before the assembly. Ladies would be invited to the gallery. “This church,” remarked Dr. Bartlett, “comes as near’ being able to entertain the eneral assembly in times of special excitement any church would. ‘There is no church that would be large enough for all who would be likely to attend.” ACTION O¥ OVERTURES. Dr. Young, chairman of the committee on bills and overtures, then reported a number of overtures, some of which were recommended for reference to different committees. An overture from the presbytery of Detroit concerning the book of discipline was referred to the committee on church polity. About sixty overtures from different assemblies in regard to new creeds, and about twenty propos- ing specific revisions, were veferred to the com- mittee on bills and overtures. Two overtures regarding the delivery of the last assembly re- REY. DR. RAY. specting the Word of God were sent to the committee on bills and overtures. Seven others respecting miscellaneous matiers concerning the treasurership, &:., were referred tothe same committe ‘The committee also reported through Dr. Young its action on overtures referzed to it for consideration, In respect to an overture from the pres- bytery of Hudson asking to have office’ of stated clerk” and separate, the committee reported that the present ‘arrangement was adequate to the needs of the assembly and recommended that no action be taken. The recommendation was adopted. Overtures from the presbyteries of Genessee, Geneva and Nassau asking for amendments to the form of government with reference to the omission of the Latin Exegesis was also reported by the committee. The committee held that presbyteries already had in their power the relief asked for, and that no_ constitutional amendment was necessary. The report was adopted. In reference to an overture from Zanesville | asking a deliverance of the assembly as to charges delivered in churches, at ordinations, &c., by others than members of the presbytery, and even by ministers of other denominations, the committee recommended that on all ordin- ary cases the charges should be given by mem- bers of the presbytery, but recognized, how- ever, the episcopal power of presbrteries to deal with such matters in their discretion, the | treasurer | on aid for colleges, then submitted his report. He stated that the results shown by the report justifies the establishment of this board. Dur- ing the past ten years 29,703 students havebeen aided. The receipts of the board for the past year were €75.000. An important work has been performed and the promises for the future are encouraging. ‘The report spoke of the inti- mate connection that has always been main- tained between education and the church. ‘The hope of the world lies, the report stated, ina close alliance between ‘the church and educa- tion. ‘The Presbyterian Church should nurture Presbyterian institutions. The report noted with pleasure the large number of institutions aided which gave biblical instruction, and it was recommended that special attention should | {be given to such institutions as made jthe Bible one of the text books. The board acted as a medium between needy institutions and the wealth of DR. JOHNSON. the church, and it was urged that with the | peculiar advantages enjoyed by the board it was a valuable agency for those who were look- ing for a useful and wise disposition of their money. Reference was made to the careful and economical administration of the funds intrusted to the board, and this fact ought to recommend it to the generosity of the church. The report stated that the case of the colleges Was as important as that of the sominaries, for it was important at the outset of their educa- tion that students should be instructed in the importance of the truth of religion. The committee recommended that the proposition to establish the Westminster College in Utah approved by the last assembly be notapproved, ry the site proposed was not regarded as suita- le. In place of Cyrus McCormick, resigned as a member of the board, Henry J. Willing was nominated by the report, REY. DR. RAY. The secretary of the board, Rev. Dr. Ray, then took the floor, and at the outset referred to the prosperous condition of the other boards of the church and said that the youngest board—the board of aid to colleges—rejoiced in that fact and hoped that equal prosperity would be the lot of the baby board. He re- ferred to the lack of information about the board, which he attributed in part to a lack of appreciation of the importance of the board. If the pastors and elders would realize that the fature of the church in the west depended on the schools and colleges a greater inter- est would be manifested in the work of the board. He spoke of the valuable aid rendered by the home missionaries, for theso men on the ground saw the value and necessity for this work. But these men, who were already mak- ing great sacrifices. should not be called on to make further sacrifices. BIBLE TEACHING IN COLLEGES. Asa rule he said the Bible was not sys- tematically taught in the colleges in this coun- try. Of the forty institutions aided by the ROBT. E. SPEAR, board, in twenty-eight the Bible was taught and examinations were held. In addition to placing © mortgage on the property of the | schools and colleges aided the board also put a | mortgage on character building by making | the Bible a part of the currienlum. In conclu- sion, he urged that more attention be paid to the methods and work of the board. WORK IN THE WEST. The importance of the work in the western part of the country was emphasized by Rev. Dr. Harsha in the course of short address. He said that rank infidelity and Catholicism with its insidious methods must be met there, and he regarded itas a palpable fact that grand opportunity was afforded in the west for establishing institutions where a sound Christian education was given. He commended thi study of the Bible in the colleges aided by the | Doard and he expressed the hope that the min- isters and elders would give this subject atten- tion, THE REJECTED GIFT. A delegate asked why the board proposed to | reject the proposition to establish an institu- | tion at Salt Lake City. Dr. Ray in reply stated that the officers had examined the 100 acres offered by Mr. Arthur Brown and had concluded that the site was un- | suitable and that the lots could not be sold. For this reason they had decided not to recom- mend the acceptance of the gift. ‘The recommendations in the report contain- ing the one refusing the gift of the Utah Uni- versity site and for the raising of $150,000 for the current year and fixing the month of Feb- ruary asthe time for taking offerings in the churches for this board were then adopted. SENDING GREETINGS. ‘The stated clerk read the telegram ordered tobe sent to the general conference of the United Brethren in Christ in session at Dayton, Ohio, and the general assembly of the Southern Presbyterian Church, now in session at Macon. Foreign Missions. Dr. Herrick Johuson, chairman of the com- mittee on foreign missions, then read his re- port. Ho stated that this year the work among the Indians was entirely transferred to the |home board. During the year fifty-six now | missionaries were sent to the foreign field. | Where had been four deaths. Appropriate ref- erence was made to the death of Rev.

A DISTINGUISHED PARTY Makes the Trip Down the River on the Steamer Macalester—The Marine Band Plays the Spanish Anthem as the Royal Guest Goes Aboard—Last Night's Dinner at the White House. eS The delightful change in the weather today was thoroughly appreciated by her roral high- ness, the Princess Eulalie, as it was by every one else. It was perfect for the excursion to Mount Vernon, which was the special feature of the day's official entertainment of the nation’s guests, There was unusual bustle and excitement around the wharf of the Macalester for an hour before she turned her bow into the stream and started for the home of Washington. The Spanish flag waved high above the boat. There were all the outside preparations for the re- ception of the distinguished party. DECORATING THE DISING SALOON. Ta the dining saloon, however, busy hands were converting it into a bower of bloom. The Marine Band made a glorious combi tion of color in the limited quarters. Back of Was a number of palms and tall vases filled with superb American beauty roses. The stanchions were twined with asparagus vine, and up at the top supported a canopy of the vine and clusters of sweet peas. It was under this fragrant woof that the table for the prin- cons was laid. Two other small tables fitted along the sides of the saloon and several others were arranged outside m the gangway. All of them had cen- terpieces of sweet pens or roses, and there were bouquets for the ladies at each cover. FLOWERS EVERYWHERE, Upstairs in the saloons there were more flowers in bouquets on the tables. The cabin known as the regents’ cabin was set aside for the use of the princess if she needed it, and more flowers bloomed there for her special delight. ‘The boat from bow to stern was as sweet and clean as hands could make it. The brass chone like gold. Down in the gallery Monsieur Nolan, the Arlington chef, was getting up the lunch: eon. He hada great deal of help to get it up, and four or five times as much more to serve it. The menu included bouillon, soft shell cra chicken croquettes and chicken and lo! ster salads, charlotte ruase, strawberries and cream and cham pagne and coffee to wind up wil ‘THE MARINES ON DUTY. On the lower deck just inside the gangplank @ detachment of marines were drawn up to give a naval touch to the expedition. Oxt on the wharf there were two or three hundred People impelied by a strong desire to see royalty afloat, A half dozen policemen kept order here very easily, although at times feminine curiosity got the better of good manners and a few collisions were inevitable, Capt. Blake paced up and down, giving a smiling welcome to each distinguished arrival. As all were distinguished, each new addition to the pascengers received the greatest attention. marines presented arms for each group passing over the gangplank. THE ARRIVAL OF THE INFANTA. The arrival of the infanta created the usual enthusiasm. Capt. Blake received her at the door of the wharf house and preceded the party tothe boat. The infanta came aboard with Commander Davis, followed by her hus- band, the Duke of Tamames. Her royal highness wore a very stylish and becoming toilette. The skirt was of the new | fashionable material, hop sacking of a dull| stone color, and was made very wide. The | bodice was a soft blouse of shaded witha biack satin Eton jacket with frills and high puffed sleeves, ‘The marchioness bad on a Preity gown of lavender lawn and a becoming lack bat. The princess smiled and bowed sweetly to everybody as she came toward the boat. The marines presented arms and stood like statues until she had passed up to the forward deck and until the Inst strains of the Spanish royal anthem which the band played had died away. ‘The start was made at 11:15. On the journ down the river the roral party and the rest of the guests were seated on the forward deck. A SMALL BUT DISTINGUISHED Panty. The company aboard was small. It con- sisted of the six members of the royal party, the Spanish minister and members | of his legation, Secretary and Mrs. Gresham, Secretary and Mira. Carlisie, Secretary and Mrs. Lamont.

This evening the infanta will dino hotel, and at 9 o'clock will receive the matic corps in the large suite of parlors at the Arlington.

She will also attend the queen's birthday ball at the British embassy tonight. Tomorrow morning the royal party will go to New York. The Dinner at the White House. A small cyclone raged around the White House last night when their royal highnesses, Princess Eulalie and Prince Antoine, came to break bread with President and Mrs.Cleveland, but when they were going back to their hotel between 10 and 11 the moon was shining as softly as if never aclond had passed her by all night. ‘Thore was a carpet stretched from the threshold to the carriage steps, but before any of the guesta had ‘a chance to walk on it the wind had playfully whisked it off in space.
