Chamber of Commerce Modification of Rule. Steps have been taken by the local Chamber of Commerce to secure mcdification of the rule governing the draft shipments of freight mater- fal into this city, which, in the event of its being secured, will be pleasing to local merchants. In the past it was the rule on draft shipments tha as soon as the draft reached the bank the merchant to whom it had been sent would be forced to appear at the institution and pay what the draft called for. In many instances the goods would not arrive for several days, which was the unfair part of ithe proceeding. The local officials have asked that in the future the draft be not payable until°the goods have been received. A letter to the secretary of the chamber this morn- ing brought the information that the matter would be taken up in a few days. A new ruling was effected today by the railroad officials, whereby at the end of five days $5 would be added to the usual demurrage rate of $2 for alt a Hers, building and other material h were upon a vacant lot upon outherly side of said building s cars not unloaded by the consignee. This rule does not effect any shipment on the rails previous to today.

J., May 25—The | Presbyterian general assembly in session here today adopted a recom- mendation that all theological sem- inaries affillated with the church be investigated by a committee of seven as to their relationship to the church | and the assembly with a view of making the relationship more secure, uniform and mutually helpful. The assembly at Rochester, N. Y., last year rescinded the *“contract of 1870” whereby the assembly was given authority in ratifying faculties in all Presbyterian seminaries. This vear an overture was presented re-~ questing that the Rochester action be reversed and the 1870 compact re- sumed. The overture, it was saia, ! was aimed at Auburn and Union Sem- inaries, and the adoption of the recommendation avoids a contest on | the floor of the assembly with regara | to the affairs of these institutions. | The committee is to report to the | next assembly. | Work of Foreign Missions. Dr. Waldo C. Cherry of Rochester, | N. Y., made a report for foreign mission boards. Tt showed that out of each dollar given in the United | States for foreign missions, 93 cents reach the natives for whom it was intended. ~ Natives in Presbyterian fields have given over $700,000 which | means that a dollar and a quarter has been used in foreign flelds for each one dollar given in this country.
