The Vice President was extricated from the necessity of making a vastly important ruling in the Senate yesterday by the time- ly motion of Senator Cockrell for an ex- ecutive Session. During the debate on the urgent deficiency bill, after the speech by Mr. Mitchell, Mr. Chandler moved to ad- journ and called for the yeas and nays, which resulted in a vote of 9 to 27. As this was not a quorum, 4 call of the Senate was ordered, and showed the presence of forty- three members. Then Mr. Hill caused trouble by inquiring the number of pairs. ‘There had been nine pairs noted, and the Senator from New York made the point that if these pairs had been entered on the jour- nal, a quorum would have been present on the vote to adjourn. Mr. Chandler was belligerent and tried to choke Mr. Hill off, but Mr. Hill would not be choked. “I object to the discussion,” Mr. Chandler interposed. “There is no debatable question before the Senate.” “Everything is debatable in this Senate,” said Mr. Hill. “I make the parliamentary point that as there were thirty-six Senators voting and nine pairs announced by Sena- tors present, that made a quorum actually present, and the Senate is entitled to do business under well-regulated rules that have prevailed in other bodies and ought to prevail here.” “The Senator from New York,” said Mr. Hoar, “desires to pay a tribute to the sa- gacity of the late Speaker of the House of Representatives; that is all.” “The point of order,” added Mr, Butler, “calls attention to the additional fact that our friends on the other side are filibuster- ing very industriously against the tariff bill.” “We will take the responsibility of that, Mr. Gallinger. “I desire to inquire of the Senator from New York,” said Mr. Quay, “whether he wishes to suggest that the Reed rule be enforced?” “I do not & cognize the fact,” Mr, Hill replied, “that Mr..Reed has any monopoty on a simple, plain rule like this, which can be adopted by any body, and which can be recognized as existing on the or- dinary principles of parliamentary law “Does the Senator from New York,” Mr. Chandler asked, tauntingly, “claim the rule as his own by right of discovery? “I decline to answer the question,” Mr. Hill good-humoredly replied. After some further bantering, the Vice President was about to rule on the par. lamentary point, when Mr. Cockrell inter- posed with a motion to proceed to execu- tive business, which was agreed to. The absence of a quorum being suggested, a call of the Senate showed the improbabili- ty of getting one, and the Senate adjourned, the only thing done being the confirmation of Homer Reed, to be postmasier at Kansas City, which was permitted to go through by consent at Mr. Vest's request. It w agreed that the Chinese treaty should be taken up for consideration Tuesday after- noon of next week. kind of work, and to spread information about missions, and stimulate efforts on | their behalf. The union will be a repre- sentative body, composed of the officers and chairmen of the committees in the different societies, and will, of course, | change in its membership as the officers | are changed in the societies, and thus will be seen to be selfsperpetuating. A con- stitution has been drawn up, which will, as soon as possible, be submitted to the various societies for their ratification, and a@ meeting of the union will shortly be| called for the election of officers. It is/ undezstood also that the matter is to come before the mass meeting to be held at the| New York Avenue Presbyterian Church on | April 20, The presbytery of Washington have sig- nified their approval of the undertaking by passing a resolution indorsing the or-| ganization, and urging “upon pastors and) sessions the duty of encouraging the young | people of their churches to unite in this plan for diffusing information, and promot- ing interest in the missionary work of our church.” The organization will be within the Pres- byterian churches of the city, and, while more or less time will be devoted to this branch of the work, there will be no de-| crease in the interest of the societies in! the District Christian Endeavor Union or| for the Presbyterian Endeavor societies. The Ninth Street Christian Church on! Capitol Hill celebrated its third anniver- sary recently. There were 127 new mem- bers received during the year, and the con- gregation now numbers 483. The pastor, Rev. E. B. Bagby, has called for subscrip- tions to pay off the indebtedness and to start a fund for a larger church. More than $2,500 hi been subscribed, and the/ fund is still growing. There is a bright future for this aggressive young church. Some interesting statistics »recently pub- Ushed in the “Interior” regarding the Pres- byterian churches of the country show that the New York Avenue Church, in this city, is one of the twenty largest churches in the United States. There are, according to the statement, just twenty P>esbyterian churches in the country having over one thousand communicants, five of which are in New York, three in Brooklyn, two in Philadelphia, two in Chicago, two in | 7 -chester, two in Cleveland, and one each ‘ia Washington, Oakland (California), Minneapolis and Denver. Dr. Johnston, the pastor of the Met- ropolitan Methodist Episcopal Church, corner of 41-2 and C strests north: west, is at present sick in Canada, where he went a couple of weeks ag) to attend the funeral of his mother at Lon- don, Ontario. He is suffering from light fevers, but his condition is not serious and he will return to the city as soon as pos- sible. His doctors, however, are taking good care of him where he is and will not allow him to attempt the journey home un- Ul he is entirely strong enouca The Christian Endeavor Society of the Calvary Baptist Church, corner of Sth and H streets northwest, held its semi-annual election of officers recently, resulting as fol- lows: President, Samuel T. Smith; vice pres- ident, Anna J. Bell; recording secrezary, Fred. Hoskins; corresponding secre- tary, Mabel Loucks, and treasurer, A. Rankin Thornton. During the last six months the society has received iwenty- eight new members to swell its ranks and is in a most prosperous condition. Dr. S. H. Greene, the pastor, is a regular attendant | at the meetings. Rev. Mr. Glaiser, the pastor of the Ger- man Lutheran Church in Alexandria, has established a mission of his church at Hern- | don, Va. The mission has quite a congre- gation from the numerous German settle- ments thereabout. St. Stephen's Protestant copal Church in*Mount Pleasant, is to have a church pa- per. It will be a neat four-page sneet, called the St. Stephen's Herald, and is to appear once a month. A pleasant and largely attended social of the Young People’s Society of Christian En- deavor of the Mount Pleasant Congregation- | al Church was held at the residence of the pastor, Rev. C. H. Small, last. Tuesday night. The Junior Endeavor Society, like- wise, held a very enjoyable sociable st the home of Mr. T. C. Dulin on Wednesday evening. About fifty beys and girls were present, and the officers for the next six months were elected, as follows: President, Alvin Quinter; vice president, Varna Rick- ets; treasurer, Bernice Baker, and secretary, Mabel Evans. The “new church officers of the Luther Place Memorial Church, at Thomas “ircle, are as follows: Louis J. If, e.ler: W. B. Laufman, A. D. Spangler and Charles E. Pall, deacons, and Daniel Ramey, George Ryneal, jr., Dr. W. K. Butler, Arthur Bache and W. O. Little, vestrymen. Mr. George Ryneal has been treasurer of the church since its organization, in 1878. From then until now the church has expended §227,- =. in buildings, improvements and church worl A circle of the Daughters of the King has been organized in St. Paul's Episcopal Church in Alexandria. The following are the officers: President, Miss Catherine Ent- wisle; treasurer, Miss Kate Heissler, and secretary, Miss Emily Entwisle. Rev. A. Willbanks, the pastor of the Mt. Zion Baptist Church, corner of 12th and E streets northeast, with the church choir, — vet olga Serompond Va., the first of the week and has been carrying on special services there all the week. sei At the Church of the Seventh Day Ad- ventists, on 8th street between F and G streets northeast, services have been cun- ducted by Elder S. J. Hersum all the week, which have been very successful. Bishop Paret spoke last Sunday afternoon at the Epiphany Protestant Episcopal Church, on G street between 13th and ‘4th streets northwest, taking for his subject. | “The Supremacy of St. Peter. Rev. C. L. Pate, the new pastor of the North Capitol Methodist Episcopal Church, has already started several schemes to help in more rapid!y paying off the church debt. He ts a firm believer in the power of wo- men as money gatherers, and so has asked quite a corps of them to aid him in his j plans. They are now actively engaged in canvassing the neighborhood, collecting sub- scriptions which have not been paid in, and interesting others to subscribe. Kesides this, he has started a penny card system among the children. About eight hundred of these have been taken by the children of the Sunday school and others, cziling for the payment of one cent the first Sunday in the month, two cents the secon’, four cents the third and eight cents the fourth; in all, fifteen cents a month. ‘The Sixth Presbyterian Church, corner of 6th and C streets southwest, the pulpit of which was recently left vacant by the resig- nation of Dr. Hershey, Is now actively a! work looking for another man. Variou: candidates have already, or will, speak at the church within the next few weeks, and the selection will probably be made within about a month. The choice of a new pastor will be made at a meeting of the congrega- tion. No nominations will be made, but each person will put his baliot for pastor in the plate, and a unanimous vote must be received before a call will be extended. The Suggestion made at the recent meeting of the presbytery that the Sixth and West- minster churches should unite is not likely to be acted upon now, if ever. The two congregations prefer to remain separate for various reasons. The Sixth Chureh ts trou- bled now more than ever, perhaps, by the noise and disturbance caused by the trains of the Pennsylvania railroad, whose tracks | gun by the church. A suit for dama; was! some time ago brought against the road, but | since then the road has grown even more careless and indifferent to the interests of the church, and there is talk of bringing ac- tion once more. Rey. H. L. Baily of Middleton Springs, Vt, who was recently called to ihe pastor- ate of the Fifth Congregational Church, corner of Sth and I streets northeast, has declined the call. His old congregation stick to him too firmly, and he is loth to leave them. Efforts are now being made to se- cure another man, and the church bas a number of applications ou hand. Whoever | is called, however, it is now so well on in| the season, that he will probably not com- mence his duties until next fall. A preacher is to be engaged regularly for the summer, | | nevertheless, and it is thought that Mr.| oussie ninth, eleventh, twenty-fifth, first, twen' fourth, sixth and third. It will require « year’s time to equip these regiments, and after that is done tig ordnance officers will probably turn their attention to the Na- tional Guard, for it is believed to be sirable that there should be uniformity the arms of the regulars and the militia, — The Du t Testimonial Tonight. ‘The complimentary testimonial which will be tendered to Mr. Neil Dumont at Metser- ott’s Hall tonight will be an occasion more thay ordinary interest, both on count of the character of the entertals and the touching object for which it be given. Mr. Dumont has been one of most popular young men in town, and his chosen profession of the law he steadily advancing to a high place when became afflicted with that most fearful all diseases, cancer, which attacked his face and caused him to become an inmate of the Home for Incurables, where he still ed te make them.
