ST. LOUIS, May 25.—Promptly at 6:45 | o'clock this evenhing the caterer’s bell rang, the band struck up the ‘“‘Stars| and Stripes Forever,” an army of wait- ers laden with viands appeared and | the mammoth Democratic anti-trust | banquet was on, while the 1445 banquet- | ers seated at the tables broke into a | tremendous cheer, rising in a body and | waving the small hand flags which had been provided at each cover. The vast arena of the Coliseum was | filled with long tables tastefully dec- lilies of the valley The table of honor was placed on a raised platform at the north side of the arena and at it Were seated Hon. W. J. Bryan, ex-Governor John P. Altgeld, O. H. P. Belmont, M. C. Wetmore, Harry B. dawes, presi- dent of the Jefferson Club, under whose auspices Champ Clark, Hon. David A. de Ar- mond and a number of other prominent Democrats. The tables were decorated through- out with flags and in the center of each | was fixed a large silver shield.

His remarks were greeted with cheers. He was followed by Hon. DeArmond of Missouri, who spoke upon “The Trust and Its Parents.” The parents of the trust, according to the speaker, are the protective tariff fa- vored by the Republicans and the par- tiality which he claimed that party has m, | ever shown to corporation interests. When Mr. Hawes arose to introduce Mr. Bryan he was greeted with ap- plause, and the applause which met Mr. Bryan was of the most flattering de- scription. The cheers drowned music of the band, which struck up ‘“Hold the Fort” as he advanced to the front of the rostrum.

The purpose of the trusts is to control the product of some article of merchan- dise, and the méthods employed are—first, the ‘union of all individual factories un’ der one ma tion, and, rivals. not only dictates terms to those who buy cond, the crushing of new | the product but it also dictates terms to those who sell the raw material and to those who furnish the labor. If the trusts are permitted to continue we shall find an industrial aristocracy growing up in the United States which will prove as destructive of our ideals as a landed aris- tocracy would. The principle of monopoly is incompati- ble with our institutions. Man's necessi- ties compel him to become a purchaser, and where there is-but one seller the pur- chaser is completely at the mercy of the seller. Where there is competition be- tween producers the purchaser is sure to obtain what he wants at a reasonable price. 'When competition is eliminated th rice is controlled not by reason but by the greed of the one who possesses the a power to destroy. s the power to tax; it can permit such a power to be exercised b private individuals than we could afford | to authorize a private individual to use the machinery of taxation in order to en- rich himself at the expense of his fellows. e Government would be gulilty gross neglect if it permitted an individual to secure a_monopoly, even without leg- | fslative assistance, but it is still more culpable if by legislative act it furnishes the means by which a monopoly is se- cured. The ~corporation {s the means now employed by those who seek to se- cure a monopoly. Since the corporation is a fictitious person, created by law, the | power that creates can regulate, restrain | or | ment {s impotent to prevent the organi- annihilate. To say that the Govern- zation of trusts is to say it has called into existence a fictitious person and that the fictitious person created has become greater than the creator. One of the difffculties which has been encountered in opposing trusts is that the trust hides behind the Federal constitu- tion when attacked by State legislation and shields itself beaind its State charter when attacked by the Federal Courts. No remedy will be complete that is not co- extensive with the Federal Government. | If the extinguishment of the trusts is lcft to State legislation the public at large wili te victimized as long as a single State will | furnish a robber's roost where the spoils collected in other States can be divided. Just now people are startled by the principle of monopoly as it manifests it- gelf in the industrial trust and well may they be startled. The principle, however, is the same as that winch manifests ftself in the effort of the national bankers to se- cure a monopoly of the issue of paper money. ALL EFFORTS TO FLOAT THE PARIS FAILURES COVERACK, Cornwall, May 25, 6 p. m.—Further efforts have just been made to float the Paris, but the tide failed. An attempt to float the American line steamer Paris which has been fast on the rocks off Lowlands Point since early Sunday morning last took place at 3 o'clock this morning without re- sult. The position of the steamer has not altered, but the conditions are looked upon as being less favorable. Five powerful tugs tried to pull off the Paris, but she was not moved.

MINNEAPOLIS, Minn., May %.—In the hands of the Presbytery of New York is the fate of Rev. Dr. Arthur C. McGif- fert, professor of ehureh history in Union | Theological Seminary, New York. The general assembly of the Presbyter- | 1an Church steered clear, as it hopes, of | the rocks of another heresy trial, and it voted this afternoon, after a fierce, ear- 3 | nest, tumultuous and sometimes personal | An actor who visited Nebraska recently, | debate to refer the whole matter to the Presbytery of New York *for such dis- position as in its judgment the peace of the church and purity of the may require.” | When the bills and overtures commis- sion’s report was announced this after- | noon by Vice Moderator Rev. T. L. Gra. ham a ‘profound silence fell over the as- | sembly and the packed galleries. Dr. | Wallace Radcliffe of Washington, chair- | man of the committee, took the speaker's | platform and read first that part of the report on which all | mittee agreed. It was a review of the case and the statement | mental doctrines of the church which Dr. McGiffert’s “History of Christianity in | the Apostolic Age”’ is held to deny. Next Dr. Radcliffe read the majority report, and then it was known at last that ther were to be two reports. This report which was ultimately adopted, left the matter to the discretion of the New York Presbytery. The minority report, read by Rev. Dr. Benjamin Lewis Hobson of Chicago, made it mandatory upon the New York pres- | bytery to appoint a commission to confer with Dr. McGiffert, and if he would nei- ther modify his views nor peaceably with- | draw grom the church to proceed against him in accordance with the provisions of the constitution of the church, and that | would have meant a heresy trial. Before taking up the debate the whole assembly rose as one man and voted for the preamble on which all agreed. From this scene of unanimity the aspect of the tumult. The preamble was frequently spoken of this afternoon as 2 | new confession of faith, a doctrinal de- liverance that the Presbyterian church is still theologically sound to the core. The | preamble says in part: | The assembly notes the repudiation by Dr. | McGiffert of the interpretation placed upon his | utterances in said book as being not in_ ac- | cord with the standard of our church and his assertion of devotlon to the truth and his con- | cern for the welfare of the church, and while accepting the same as sincere, the assembly, | nevertheless, reasserts its deliverance of 1838 | condemning the statements of said book as be- ing such as to justify the interpretation so re- udiated, and in regard to fundamental do frines of churches involved in this matter, this | assembly solemn declares: | ™1 It is a fundamental doctrine of the word of God and the confession of faith fhat the Holy Spirit did so control the inspired writers | in their composition of the Holy Scriptures as to make their statements absolutely truthful, 1. e., free from error, when interpreted in thetr | natural and intended sense. All seeming dis- crepancies and contradictions In the Bible are to be referred to the limitations upon human knowledge. To hold that the Holy Scriptures are in any respect historically inaccurate is to oppose the teaching of the confession, chapter _section 4, which declares that ‘‘the author- ity of the Holy Scriptures for which it ought o be belleved and obeyed, depend either whol- 1y upon God, the author thereof, or it is to be received because it Is the word of God.” 2. It is a fundamental doctrine of the word of God and the confession of faith that ‘‘the son of God, the second person in the Trinity being very and eternal God of one substance and equal to the father, did, when the fullness of time was come, take upon him man's na- ture, with all the essential properties and common infirmities thereof, yet, without sin. So that two whole perfect and distinct natures the Godhead and the manhead were {nseparably Joined together In one person Without conver- sion, composition or confusion.” It is also a fundamental doctrine that “‘the Lord Jesus in his human nature thus united to the divine, was sanctified and annointed with' the Holy Spirit above measure; having in Him all the treasures of wisdom and knowledge; fn whom it pleased the Father that all fullness should awell.” _(Confession, chapter 8. second and third) These doctrines of the Confession for- bid #ny teaching respecting the Lord Jesus which would attribute to Him in any partic- ular liability to error. . It is a fundamental doctrine of the word of God and the confession of faith, that *‘Our Tord Jesus, in the night wherein he was be- trayed, instituted the sacrament of his body and blood, the Lord's supper, to be observed in his church unto the end of the world,” and further, that “‘the Lord Jesus hath in this o dinance, appointed his ministers to declare his word of institution to the people, to pray and bless the elements of bread, of wine,” etc. No teaching which declares that the Lord's sup- per was instituted in other manner than by the direct personal act of the J is in harmony with the truth of the Holy Scriptures or loyal to the person of Jesus Christ. 4.

A. C. McGiffert, D.D., entitled | ‘A History of Christianity in the Apos | tclic_ Age.” be referred (o the Presbylcry \of New York, to which belongs the pri- mary constitutional responsibility of such disposition as in Its juagment the peace | of ‘the churches and’ the purity of doc- | trine may require.” | ~The minority of eight set against the report of the majority of twelve the fol- | lowing: | _We recommend the adoption of the following: The General Assembly, while deploring the con- troversy occasioned by’ Dr. McGiffert’s writings, hereby directs the Presbytery of New York, of which he is a member, to appoint a com- mittee to confer with him, and if it should appear to the presbytery that Dr. McGiffert fails to modify his views s0 as to conform them to the standards of the churches, Dr, McGiffert to withdraw peaceably from the Presbyterian ministry. But if he should refuse to do so, then the presbytery is directed as the last resort to proceed with the case in ac- | cordance with the provisions of the constitu- tion of the churches. And in all these pro- | ceedings the presbytery is to maintain the spirit of Christian kindness and love as well as fidelity to the truth. During the discussion following the reading of the reports many denounced the writings of Dr. McGiffert, but argued that he should be given an opportunity *to_depart in peace.” “‘Be patient, brothers; wait while,” pleaded Dr. Hughes of Philadel- phia, speaking for the majority report. “‘Skulkers and cowards to the rear!” shouted Elder Alexander Dixon of Scran- | ton, Pa. “Then close up. Was there ever a more beautifully worded letter than that of this theologician, which says, af- | ter all, ‘I do as I please, and you can do he other thing?" ™ The galleries and the assembly roared vith laughter. Finally the majority re- port was adopted. % HEAD OF THE VIRGIN AND JEWELS FOUND Arrest of the Daring Robbers of the Shrine at El Cobre and Recov- ery of the Booty. Herald. Copyrighted, 15%, by James Gor- don Bennett. SANTIAGO, Cuba, May 25.—Catholics of this place are holding general rejoic- of the head of the Virgin of EI Cobre and nearly all of the missing jewels and gold ornaments. To-day three perpetrators of the dese- | cration of the shrine—one Mexican and two Spaniards—were captured by Fran- cisco Guitterez, chief of the secret police. Some of the Jewels were found in San- tiago and the head of the Virgin was found on a rubbish heap in EI Cobre. The Archbishop and several priests ex- amined the jewels and found only a few missing. There will be a special mass of thanksgiving on Sunday in the cathedral at Santfago and in the church at El obre. The local police made an unsuccessful search for the valuables, trying to make political scandal and accusing Guitterez, who is a sEanmrd. of being the instigator of the robbery. They placed every pos- sible_obstacle in the way of the search. The Virgin will be returned to the shrine on Saturday. A large number of people are preparing to visit El Cobre on Sun- day. 3 Let s St DOMINICAN COMMENCEMENT.

LONDON, May 26.—The New York correspondent of the Times, which has hitherto been optimistic regarding an agreement between the American and Canadian High Commissioners, claims te know that the situation has become almost hopeless, owing to the insistence of the Canadians that they receive a slice of Alaska. The correspondent de- plores the Canadian position in upset- ting. the settlement, which was within sight, and extols the conciliatory atti- tude of President McKinley and the American officials. He relates in detail how an arrangement was on the verge of completion, when Lord Salisbury, under- pressure from Canada, withdrew his acquiescence. He declares that.the present relations between Ottawa and London, as understood in Washington, threaten to affect disastrously the re- cently improved relations between the United States and Great Britain. The correspondent instances the Clayton- Bulwer treaty and says a new treaty perfectly satisfactory to both govern- ments has already been drawn, but Great Britain now declines to act on it, saying the Government cannot afford to submit to Parliament any new treaty question until the Canadian de- mands anent Alaska are satisfied. The Times, commenting on the fore- going dispatch, says it hopes the cor- respondent takes an unduly gloomy | view of the situation. It declines to exhaust its emotions, prematurely, over | a catastrophe which may never occur. | It delicately banters its correspondent | on his despondency and declines to pro- [ nounce a definite opinion on the Cana- | dian-American question without fuller { knowledge. It says, howeve: g | What is quite obvious from the tone of | our correspon communication as much out of place to talk of Canadian | opinion as a power behind the Briti | Government, deterring it from acting as its own Chief Minister and Embassador | think reasonabl it would be to use | similar language’ of the opinion of an | American State. Americans cannot ex- pect us to do what they would never do themselves if they were in our position. | They cannot expect us to ignore the pop- ular will of that portion of the empire tiations or to settle a guestion between London and Washington behind its back. The Times reminds Americans that in the dispute with Great Britain about the frontier of Maine the local Legis- lature protested against the award of the umpire and the Senate rejected it, though President Jackson would have joined the British Government in ac- cepting it. It asks: ‘“Was this an un- worthy submission by the Federal Gov- ernment to local prejudice?” MANY CHANGES BY | YALE CORPORATION Most Important Is the Election of Professor Harley as President to Succeed Dwight. NEW HAVEN, Conn., May 25.—The Yale corporation had its regular meeting to-day and elected Professor Arthur B ing Harley, M. A, president of Yaie Uni- versity, to succeed Timothy Dwight, re- | signed. There was almost a full member- ship of the corporation present, and it is understood the vote was practically unan- imous. At the morning session, before the bal- loting for president had begun, the resig- nations of Secretary Franklin B. Dexter and Treasurer William Farnum were an- nounced. Both gentlemen had determined long ago that when President Dwight re- signed they should also sever their con- nection with the Yale University corpora- tion. This action was taken without re- 5nrd to the probable successor to Presi- ent Dwight. Professor Dexter has been for thirty years secretary of the corporation. He will continue his connection with Yale as assistant librarian of the university. Treasurer Farnam has for eleven years served the university as treasurer. The resignation of Louls S. de Forest, M.D., clinical professor of Medicine, was accepted, to take effect at commencement. Professor Charles E. Beecher was ap- pointed curator of the geological collec- tlons, in succession to the late Professor Nathaniel C. Marsh. George Lammerman, Yale, 1890, was ap- pointed registrar of the scientific school, and George F. Eaton was appointed in- structor_in comparative asteolnsr in the same school. .. Mabumoto,. assistant in the psychological laboratory, was reap- inted, and K. F. Geiser, now a student n the graduate school, was appointed an assistant in history in 'the college. It was voted to proceed with the im- mediate erection of the final building for the law school in front of the present building. which is primarily affected by the nego- | WARFARE LAWS ARE CONSIDERED e Both Sections of the Committee Meet. e RED CROSS WORK DISCUSSED T, ABSENCE OF MEDICAL MEN AT THE PEACE CONFERENCE. gt Many Matters Connected With the Hospital Service Could Be Better TUnderstood by the Aid of Surgeons. eogens Speclal Dispatch to The Call. THE HAGUE, May 25.—Both sections of the committee on the laws of war- fare of the Peace Conference met sep- arately to-day, and began the examina- tion of subjects submitted to them, the Red Cross section discussing para- graphs five and six of the circular of Count Muravieff, Russian Minister of Foreign Affairs, and the Brussels con- ference section discussing paragraph seven. Both sections met subsequently and discussed the question of competence as regards the scheme for the revision of the Geneva convention, known as the Morgnier scheme. The Morgnier scheme comprises modifications on the Geneva convention in connection with wounded and sick prisoners, members of the hospital service, convoys for the wounded, ambulances, hospitals, prop- erty belonging to neutralized persons, religious and medical staffs and kind- red subjects. The scheme appiies equally to land and sea warfare. It was proposed -to submit the scheme to another commission for dis- cussion and the question was then raised whether the conference was competent to deal with the matter. Those who took a negative view ar- gued that the conference had decided in pringiple and that all the govern- ments represented had agreed that nothing should be submitted to the conference beyond the eight points in the circular of Count Muravieff. They contended that if the conference once | infringed this rule a precedent would be created leading to numerous diffi- culties, including probably the spring- ing of the Armenian, Macedonian and similar questions upon the conference. It was also pointed out by the oppo- | nents of the proposal to refer that, in- asmuch as the Morgnier scheme dealt mostly with the wounded and with hos- pitals, it would be impossible to discuss the proposed modifications effectively thout the co-operation of doctors, who alone would be capable of decid- ng many of the points at issue. | As a matter of fact there is no man | of medical training among the dele- | gates. The committee finally ad- journed without reaching a decision. There is no truth in the statement |that a proposal has been submitted to | the conference to abrogate the provi- sions of the Declaration of Paris. 1836, regarding the protection of private property in time of war. —_————— POSITIVE CREDENTIAL OF CHRISTIAN PROGRESS l NEW YORK, May 25.—A cable to the Journal from Paris says Archbishop Ireland is taking great interest in the Peace Conference. He has been pay- ing close attention to the sentiment of | the people on the subject in countries where he has been traveling recentiy. | He gave the Journal to-day the follow- ing synopsis of the result of his obser- vations: I find that intelligent men of Ttaly, | France and Belgium everywhere are tak- | ing a deep thought as to how they can contribute their quota toward advancing | the chief object of the conference. Big ideas, like the oak, take time for devel- opment. The disarmament idea_has de- veloped slowly, and has been aided by a fortunate force of circumstances. The unique conference now in session at The Hague is a positive credential of Chris- tian progres: The broad problem is how to save hu life and lighten the bur- dens of those who labor so that men may not be needlessly sacrificed nor uselessly burdened. International arbitration can be made effective. At least to a large ex- tent war can be made humane without either abhorring or stigmatiz- ing_ the sword. Never before has such a conference as that at The Hague sat in a_ council chamber. The in- terests and to some extent the well beirg oi humanity are intrusted to its member: | Tf one conference cannot solve the whoi | question_at once the ideas that are now | scattered broadcast wiil take root in the people’s minds. There you have rich soil where_they will grow to maturity. The United States is sure to be the first in peace as well as in war. Coronation of Graduates.
