The only business session was between the hours of 9 and 12 in the forenoon, at which the report of | the board of relief was heard and adopted, {and the report of the special committee | on evangelistic work was finally dis- posed of. ! At noon the session adjourned and the members went in a body to Long Beach over the Salt Lake road. At Long Beach luncheon was served to 1200 people by the citizens of the seaside resort. The re- mainder of the afternoon was sperit by the visitors wandering along the beach and about the pretty little city. Many of the commissioners took advantage of the opportunity to enjoy a dip in old ocean. This evening a popular meeting in the interest of evangelistic work was held at Immanuel Church. The harmonyv that has prevailed since the cpening of the General Assembly re- ceived a slight shock this morning. Al- though the sheck was of but momentary duration it nevertheless caused the only commotion that has stirred the body since its sessions began. After disposition had been made of the reports of the board of relief and the special committee on evangelistic work the Rev. Frederick K. Stanley of Atlan Ct: N. J., sought and obtained recognition from the moder- ator and took the platform. STIR IN THE ASSEMBLY. “I wish to introduce,” began the Rev. Mr. Stanley, “a resolution with regard to the memorable trip of the President of the United States, who fs about to turn his face again toward the national capi- tal. As a number of u journeyed through Nevada a few days ago on our way to this General Assembly our special train stapped at Reno and we had the pleasure of listening to a very good speech by our President. When the President learned that a number of commissioners to the General Assembly were among his listen- | ers he took oc jon to remark upon the importance and dignity of the great work | accomplished by our church. I wish to | the following resolution for pas- | sage by this assembly “* ‘Resolved, t we send the following m. age to the President of the United | churchmen, the assembly should take some special action upon it The Rev.

There was a burst of applause from the commission- ers, as well as from the galleries. It was quickly moved and seconded that the resolution offered by the Rev. Mr. Stanley be adopted and it was adopted by a unant- mous vote. This closed the only incident | that has marred the perfect harmony of | the present assembly. The morning session opened at 9 o’clock with the usual prelude of prayer and song. The first order 6f business was the report of the board of rellef, which was read and discussed at some length by the Rev. Benjamin L. Agnew of Philadel- phia, secretary of that board. The discussion was then resumed on the report of the special committee on evan- gelistic work, the assembly adopting a | rule limiting speeches on this to five min- | utes, the moderator stating that this would give the many commissioners de- siring to be heard on this subject an op- portunity to put their views before the assembly. Stiring addresses were made | by the Rev. W. Peach, D. D., Camden, N. J.; the Rev. Marcus Scott, Detroit; the | Rev. Dr. John D. Countermine, D. D. Topeka, Kans.; the Rev. James W.

Robin- son was one of the most noted legal char- acters in the early history of this county, and was at one time assoclated | Presiient Willlam Henry Harrison in the law business in Hamilton County, Ohlo. In Robinson's will, which bears date of July 31, 1856, is this clause: “I will that my estate be settled by my said executors without interference of the Probate Court as far as the same can le- gally be done.” The will, which is now yellow with age, was recorded on January 11, 1858. Robin- son was born about 1790 and died in 1857. His birthplace was Hamilton County, Ohio, and he saw the light of day there in the very infancy of the republic. It was in that county that he was assoclated with Willlam Henry Harrison and prac- ticed law with him. In 1820 he was mar- ried to Mary Isdell, and five children were born of this union. In 1828 Robinson left his wife and children and ran away to Texas with another woman. He was there engaged as an adherent of Sam Houston in the Texas war. Later he was an officer in the United States army in the war with Mexico, was captured, thrown into the Vera Cruz prison and re- | mained there for two years.. Several years afterward he was elected Lieuten- ant Governor of Texas. In the meantime his wife in Ohio had obtained a divorce and Robinson married again. He had one son by this marriage, Willlam N. Robinson. In 1854 Robinson left Texas and came to San Diego. Shortly after coming here Robinson pur- chased from the city of San Diego, which was then what is now Old Town, the half of Pueblo lot 199 and all of Pueblo lot 205, This was afterward subdivided into Rose- ville. Practically nothing was done in the probating of the will till 1890, when a suit was instituted to determine the heirship to the estate. In the interim his son by the second wife had died, as had also all the children of the first marriage except one, Mrs. Albina Whitworth, but there were grandchildren, and in the decree en- tered to-day there were seventy-one dis- tributees. —————— Accepts Post in the Transvaal.

Dr. Sanderson arrived in Los Angeles a very sick man, and it was said to-day that his condition is critical. Dr. Sanderson is 80 years of age, and grave fears are felt as to the outcome of his illness. The assembly then adjourned until 9 a. m.

A meeting in the interest of the evan- gelistic movemei:t was held at Immanuel Church to-night.

Santa Clara Passion Play Elaborate in All Details, Speclal Dispatch to The Call. SANTA CLARA, May 23.—At the large theater of Santa Clara College there is a strikingly active and busy scene this evening. All final preparations are be- ing made for the production next Monday evening of Clay M. Greene's passion play of Santa Clara, “Nazareth.” There is be- ing held on the immense stage a full dress rehearsal, while in the body of the house are photographers and special represent- atives of the press. Stress is being laid upon the importance of full preparation and rehearsal, and on this account there will be a complete presentation of the passion play to-mor- row afternoon at 2 o'clock in the presence of the clergy and faculty of Santa Clara College exclusively. This performance Wil have a deep religious significance to all whom President Kenna has permitted to attend. In truth, all the rehearsals have borne about them the impressive- nese of a religious ceremony. Costuming in the present revival has been considered without regard to ex- pense. (oetly fabrics have been Imported from abroad for the robés of Calphas, the high priest, and Jechonias, the rich Jew, Who opens his coffers for the use of King Herod in the persecution of the Chris- tians, All the costumes are new and ele- gant. Seats for the first two perform- ances are mostly sold out, except a few of the more desirable ones. Some uncer- tainty has been caused by the fact that it has been possible to obtain them at but two places, the Curtaz Music House in San Jose and J. G. Robinson's pharmacy in Santa Clara. The Thursday evening performance wiil be given over in great part to the Bo- hemian Club of San Francisco, of which the author is a member, and it will be known as “author’s night.” Matinees will be given on Tuesday and Wednesday af- ternoons. Special trains will leave Santa Clara after each evening performance and the train service during the day is such that San Franciscans can attend and reach home by 6 p. m. Martin V. Merle, who has the produc- tion in charge, has expressed himself as highly pleased with the seriousness and efficiency of the students under his direc- tion and has, with the assistance of those who participated in the first production, assured a superb rendition of the only successful passion play ever given to the American publie. i triiniit Santa Barbara Strike Ends.
