IT WILLCOME UP AGAIN ON MONDAY NEXT Resolations Passed on the Chinese Excin- #lon Act—A Member's Bad Broak— Revenues for the Year Just Passed—Assembly Notes. Wasnixerow, D, C., May 27.—A breathing spell has been given the members of the Presbyterian general assembly, and for two days they will be able to rest from the con- sideration of the case of Dr. Briggs. The attendance of the nssembly today was by no means as large as it was yesterday. Notwithstanding the fact that the morn- ing session was devoted to routine business, there was one little breeze that came very near growing into a well developed svorm. It was In the form of an attack upon 8 sisl denomination by a com- missioner to the assembly. The trouble followed directly upon the reading of the report of the committee on church unity, Pleasant reference had been made to other churches which had shown their de- 8iro to co-operate with the Presbyterian church on the basis of a common faith and order. The report touched particularly upon the attitude taken by the Protestant Epis- copal church, which had evidenced a de- cided willingness to meet the Presbyterian church on common grounds, Then the trouble came. Dr. A. N. Hollifield of the synod ot New Jersey stepped to the plat- stinging shot at the Episcopal church. He spoke of her as “‘the maiden in the proposed union on account of her smaller size and love of dress.” ““The road to Rome,” “Burning candles,” “Genuflections and confessions,” were a fow of the epithets he hurled at the Episcopal church. Dr, Booth of New York protested against “such an undeserved and uncalled-for at- tack,” and was warmly applauded. Dr. Briggs' Trial Postponed. At the opening of the general assembly this morning the chairman of the judiciary committee announced that it had been unable to getready for the trial of Prof. Briges at such short notice, and asked that it be put over until Monday morning. The re?ueu was agreed to. “The postponement is said to be largely due to the inability of the partics to decide upon the time they shall ask to present their case. Rev. Dr. W. C. Young of Kentucky read a report of the committee on bills and over- tures on matters submitted by a number of }vresb.\'lnrins with reference to an overture rom *Zanesville presbytery on the part woman may take in the public and promis. cuous assemblies. The committee recom- mended that all such questions be left to the wise discriminations of the pastors and church. Adopted. € In regard to an overture from the Balti- more presbytery looking to a union with the southern church, the committee recom- mended that no action be taken at this time. Adopted, Concerning the report, Dr. Young stated that the committec was overwhelmingly in favor of unity, but they believed this was not a propitious time for it, Rev. Dr. Joseph T. Smith of Baltimore, chairman of the commitice on church unity, recited the progress that it had made in its conference with the Episcopal commission, stating that while organic unity could not now be expected, there was a basis of co- operation upon which they could work. Resolutions on the Geary Law. Elder Cutcheon, chairman of the commit- tee on the Geary law, was given the floor and reported as follows: Tho exclusion and registration act of May, 1892, Is the supreme law of the land. No un- sottled legal question in reference to it re- malns for the consideration of your commit- 8. ‘Tho committee believes, however, that it is right, and the duty of this u“n-m\fl;‘ ive b je #xpression of 1ts views upon the subject mat- ter and recommends the adoption of the fol- lowing: One—That laws of congress enncted in con- travention of treaty obligations: In violution of tradition and fundamental principles of our ouernment and In disregard of the Just rights g( men lnwl’ull{ and by our invitation resi- dents of the United Siutes, are unworthy of this great nation and a reproach to our Chrls- tian clvilization, and that they will work In- Jury to if not destruction of our con mercinl rolitions with, and our moral and religious in- fluences over the Chinese people.

Another committee was appointed to join Dr. Bryson in visiting the president, Dr, Young of the committee on bills and overtures presented overtures from sixty- seven presbyteries, requesting the prepari- tion of a mew, short form of confession of faith and other previsionary authorizations, the committee unanimously recommending thav the matter be postponed in view of the recent action of the majority of the presby- terles not to legislate on these subjects at present, The committee hoped that the church might experience that same state of ghings narrated in the thirty-first verse of he nith chapter of Acts: * “Then had the churches rest throughout all Judea and Gali- lee and Samaria and were edified; anda walk- fng in the fear ot the Lord in the comfort of the Holy Ghost, were multiplied.” [Great laughter.) Dr. Booth, in seconding the report. an- nounced himself as a confirmed rovisionist, but said Le was heartily in favor of giving he churches rest for at least a year. = The report was adopted. Recess, Revenues for the Past Year, The special order for the afternoon was the report of the committec on special bene. ficence, which was read by George H. Iul- lerton, D, D. The condition of all the boards was most satisfactory. The total receipts of all the boards for the past year was $2, 779,602, & net increase of §138,765 over the re ceipta of the previous year. This was the high water mark in the history of the benevolences of the Presbyterian church, The report was received and adopted, Dr. Young, chairman of the committee on bills and_overtures, submitted the following for consideration, not asking action at this me: n unswer o the overtures from the ’eriun of Newark and St. Louis, 0 the dell ance of th bly on toe inspiration of preshy- With reforone st general assenn- the “Noly feripture, nittes would recommend the follow- Ihq‘ The general assembly reaflivins the deliverance of the 103th genoral nssembly, touching “the inspiration of the holy scrip- *and in so doing declures that the sald i s 1o new doctrine, but interprets and five pression to as ever been cherlshed belleved in A8 i fundamental truth, und which is ex pressly taueht in ¢ among othuers L wutuorlty of the holy scriptures for which it ought to be belloved and obeyed, depend, not upon uny men or church, but wholly 'upon God (Who s truly ftself), the author thereof and therefore i is belioved because It Is the word of Gon.

Information re- ceived from our representatives in that country leads us to fear they may be in peril of their lives, and we thercfore pray that every possible provision be made to 1nsure rsafety in case this danger is realized.” The assembly voted authority to the com- mittee to forward the communication to the secretary of state, Mr. Ciatcheon also reports from the com- mittee on the Geary exclusion law, the resolutions offered by Rev. Mr. Reed of the Shan Lun mission, China, recommending vhat they be adopted. This was done after an explanatory statement by Mr. Reed in which he stated that, in his opinion, the only hope for the continued safety of the missionaries in China lay in the friendly dis- position of the government of the country. The first order of the evening was the re- port of the committee on the young peoples’ societies presented several days ago The assembly then adjourned until 9 a. m Monduy. BAPTIST MISSIONARY UNION,' Gratifying Reports of Work Well Done Re- ceived 1 n All Parts of the World, Drxver, Colo, May 27.—The American Baptist Missionary union this morning listened to an address on missions and elected officers, with Rev. Dr, Augustus Strong of w York president, and a long list ot vice presidents, The report of the committee on obituaries informed the delegates that during the year five missionaries had gone to their reward, the last one to pass over the river being Mrs, Harriet S. Clough, the news of whose un- fortunate death in Iilinois was given to the public by the Associated press only a few doys ago. She had many friends among the delegates and, an additional resolution of sympathy for the husband, who is now in India, was offered by Mr. Robert O. Fuller of Boston. A resolution denouncing as a shame to the country the opening of the World's fair on Sunday. and another urging the immediate repeal'of the Geary law, were introduced and unanimously adopted. The report of the committee on mi in Africa was followed by an address enti- tled “What of the Night " on the Congo?” by Rev. C. I\ Raine, a Baptist missionary to the dark zontinent. After the report on missions in China, a paper, “The Present Status in China,” was read by Rev. R.

Attribute his state- ment that it was in the very hall where ho spoke that the great populist national con- vention assembled on the Fourth of July last to a mere error of information in itself insignificant. It was in the Coliseum that the immense convention which included much of the enlightened advance thought and many of the able and eminently reputa- ble men and women of the nation assembled. That convention cannot be held more re- sponsible for the vague utterances and empty vaporings of hare-brained orators and ranting bigots than can any other con- vention. ther did the intelligenco of the convention nor the great mass of the 1 party itself endc these the vagueries res poration in the platform. When the young vriest charges that this convention encowy aged socialistic doctrines and the inaugurs ation of a religious war against the Roman Catholic church, he owed himself griey- ously igno whereof he spoke. Tolerance of religious creeds, the frecdom of religious thought and discus- sion, the liberty of the citizen to act as an enlightened. conscience dictates in all religious and political matters are salient tenets of the populist faith. However advanced may be some of the political and economic theories held by prominent members of this new v, it must be remembered that therein is a strong conservative element representing some of the best thought and intelligence of either of the old parties, and especially of the re- publican va The party is yet in its in- ception; too young to have erystailized into a monious and symmetrical whole the golden grains of truth that it seeks to garner from every field. But Father Sherman is the first gentleman of character and intelli- nce to hold it responsible for the *vliz- zards of abuse, misrepresentation and malicious calumny” that have been hurled nst his church by the American Protec- association, which is sthe society that makes “'a specialty of attacking Catholics,” to whieh he cathingly alludes. This alrous young knight of ‘the church may be surprised to learn that it is amonk those of the populist pi that he will find his most earnest coadjutors in the crusade to which he is pledged “to < put the whole organization on the run if it takes every drop of lifo blood in my body.” The father may also be surprised to learn that this reprehensible association which he s0 fearlessly and justly denounces is an off- ublican party toward ympathies lean.

There are many leading Catholics in the state who sre fully cognizant how hostile was the populist party to this baneful, intolerant secre - ganization during ' the canvass. 4 will not be less surprised to learn of the grave misapprehension enter- tained by this young Lochinvar of the church than was the writer himself.

It isnot true Americanism to seek to wample upon ihe glorious rights of our fel- low citizens," Without eriticising the taste or the motive that caused the eloquent young orator to in- vidiously distiuguish the " populist political organization, and disclaiming any suggestion that this brilliant sciou of the nation's idol could do intentional injustice, may I not hope that this communication will' induce him to address himself to an iuvestigation of the statements herein contained, with the expeotation that he will as eluqucnll" com wend t who are worthy as he would con- dewn the wischievous unwurnxnf agitatorst J.

C. May 27.—Probably the most important pension decision ever sent from the oftice of the secretary of the inte- rior to the commissioner of pensions, was filed tod It is believed by those high in authority in the pension bureau that it will reduce the payment of pensions under the act of June 27, 1890, between 15,000,000 and £20,000,000, 1t involves the repeal of an order passed by General Raum and approved by Assistant Secretary Bussey, und a return to the lan- guage of the statute requiring the dis- ability, not of service origin, to be such as to prevent the applicant from earning a sup- port by manual labor. Secretary Hoke Smith has been consider- ing the principles involved in this decision for several weeks and so important did he deem it, that when it was called to his at- tention from the pension board of appeal he submitted the question involved to At- torney G ral Olney and Judge Lochren, the commissioner of pensions, both of whom concurred in the correctness of the decision. Case ot One Bennett. The decision is in the case of one Bennett, who sought a pension under the old law, alleging that while in the service at Raleigh, N. C, he was prostrated by sunstroke, which resulted partinl deafne: in both ears. His application denied the ground that while the applicant has = slight deafuess as alleged, it was not of sufficient severity to warrant any rating. ‘The testimony showed that Benuett could hear a_watch tick at a distance of half an inch from either ear. Bennett subsequently applied for and re- ceived a pension of $12a month under the act of June 27, 1800. This act allows a pen- sion ranging from $6 to $12 per month to each soldfer or sailor suffering from any dis- ability of a permanent character not the re- sult of their own vicious habits which in- capacitates them from the verformance of manual labor in such a degree as to render them unable to earn a support. The ir ability to earn a support is therefore made the basis of the law. During Comuissioner Raum's administration an order was issued known as order 164, which directed that all ms for a pension under the acts of June 27, 1800, should be rated tho same as like disabilities of service crigin and that all cases showing onable disability, which, if of ser ] , would be rated at or above $16 a month, should be rated at §12 a month, The only requirement to obtain a pension he law applicable to pensions of serv- ice origin is disability by reason of wounds ived or disease contracted while in the and in line of duty Standard of Rating. “Incapacity to perform manual labor,” says the secretary, “which is the foundation to the right to pension under the act of June 4 1800, fixes an entirely different stan: disability from that just mentione tained in the Revised Statutes, co Jjuries of service origin. Disab curred while in actual service and in pacity coming upon applicant long after service ceases are made by the law to stand upon an ontirely different footing. Those incurred during services in line of duty are pensionable with- out regard to capacity to earn a support and graded without reference to this condition. Disabilities arising from causes other than of service origin are only pensionable when capaclty to labor joins with incapacity to earn a support aud grades of rating are de- {wudemuvun these two conditions. When by order No. 164 it was declared that di: bilities under the act of June27, 1800, should be rated as of service origin, the very prin- ciple which governed the rating under the act of June 27, 1800, was displaced and a rule applicable to a different act was substituted. This case illustrates the effect of the de- partment by your burcau_from the terms of the act of 1300: First, the applicant was awarded for ‘slight deafuess,’ not of service origin, #12. The award was made under tho act of 1890, which requires the rate for deaf- ness of both ears to be graded from # to £12. The highest amount--$12—was only to be allowed in the severest case of deafriess, It was given by your bureau for ‘slight deaf- ness’ because, under an entirely different act, applicable to disabilities of service origin alone, $15 was the lowest rating for ‘slight deafness.’ Changed the Law by an Order, “Second, The 1nability of the applicant to verform manual labor s not taken into consideration. Yet the act of 1800, under which the applicant sought and was allowed a pension, made inability of the applicant to perform manual labor in such a degreo as to prevent him from earning a support the foundation of his claim. It is therefore clear that the raling under the Revised tutes for disubllitics of service origin 8 substituted by order No. 164, for the ting pi ded under the act of 1800. The order having resulted in one error, a second error naturally followed and the bility of the applicant to perform manual labor was not taken into consideration. In a word, the act of June 27, 1800, was changed and superseded by order No. 164 as construed by your ofiice, and by a practice that neg- lectcd 1o take into consideration the ability of the u“l]l] Wt to perform manual labor,” The d ion is signed by John M. Rey- nolds, assistant secretary of the interior, Secretary Smith, in another communi tion to the commissioner - of pensions, suys itis hardly necessary to present ar gument or support by authority the proposition that neither the secretary nor the commissioner can, by order or prictice, supersede an act of congress. and he therefore directs here after the practice of the oftice to conform to the law.

The miners are maintaining the firm stand taken by them at the beginning of the trouble and the operators are none the less firm. It is not likely that the dim- culty will find any speedy settloment in arbitration, on the contrary, it is likely the strike will spread to adjoining states and that 30,000 miners will be on a strike in a brief time. From all present indications the union miners in Kansas, Missouri, Colorado, lowa, Arkansas and Indian Territory will be en- listed 1n the ranks of the strikers, This is the program decided upon by the leaders ot the strikers to enforce their demands and from present indications nothing will to prevent it being carried out. In this case 80,000 union miners will be idle. The plan centemplates calling out the miners in northern Kansas next week and in Missouri the weck following. Colorado and Towa will then be called wpon to lend their aid, and finally Arkansas and Indian Territory will be enlisted in the fight. Speaking today of the general impression that the strike 1s a fight for recognition of the umion, President Walters said: *‘No, that is a mistaken idea. The only fight the The union is making 'is for the price asked by the miners, which is the same as b : (5 ove, viz: cents in the summer and 75 cents in Laud if the operators will pay the ice the union will have nothing more to say. The mmers all understand this, but I find a number of the citizens do not. The Strip pitmen in the vicinity of Weir City agreed with a committee to walk out today This vractically cuts off the Strip pit su in Cherokee and Crawford counties. small mine operators in the town of Chero- kee will walk out Monday.The plans heroto- fore mentioned tn regard to northern Kan- sas and adjoining states will be carried out.” Yesterday the union miners considered the question of calling out all the miners in the smelters, but_today they decided that the injury done would be greater than the benefit derived by the strikers. Therefore, they concluded to allow the smelter miners to mine sufiicient coal to run the smelters, it being understood that the coal mines wouid be used for no other purpose. Labor Commissioner Todd arrived from Topeka this morning. He says e has no authority to takeany hand whatever in the strike, and Is here to gather statistics con- cerning the troublo.
