THE MORNINQ OREGOaflAy. SATURDAY, MAY 28, 19D& FOR CHURCH UNION General Presbyterian Assem bly Strongly Favors It QUESTION IS REFERRED BACK Action Must Be Taken by thePres byterles Before April 19, 1905, on the Matter of Consolida tion With Cumberland. BUFFALO. May 27. The Presbyterian General Assembly of the United States today declared in favor of union -with the Cumberland Presbyterian Church by a -vote 80 nearly unanimous that it was not counted. The resolutions adopted included not only favorable action on the report, but recommended certain other steps to bo taken to secure the union of the churches and to make plain the posi tion of the church. The question of the proposed basis of union -will now Bo to the presbyteries of the General Assembly. If it is approved by a vote of two-thirds of them, the necessary steps will be taken at the next General Assembly to effect the union. The announcement of the result was received with great cheering. The vote was taken on the following propositions, on motion of Dr. James D. Moffatt: "Shall the report of the Joint com mittee be adopted?" "That the question of basis of union be sent down to the presbyteries be fore April 19, 1905, for action. "The union shall be effected on the doctrinal basis of the confession of faith of the Presbyterian Church In the United States of America as revised ln April, 1903, and its other doctrinal and eccle slsstical standards under the Scriptures of the Old and New Testaments shall be acknowledged as the inspired word of God, the only infallible rule of faith and practice. "That the report of the presbyteries shall be submitted to the General As sembly in 1905, and if approved by a two-thirds vote the necessary steps shall be taken if the way be clear to complete this union. "That the assembly places on record that its revision of the confession of faith in 1903 has not impaired the in tegrity of the system of doctrine taught in Holy Scripture. "Affirming freedom of prejudice against any race." A report from the committee on min isterial relief, recommending that the name of the committee be not changed to "board of pensions," as proposed, and that an apportionment be made among the churches of the assembly of the money needed for ministerial re lief, was adopted. A report of the special committee on alliance with reformed churches was adopted, and the committee continued. "Winona, Ind., was selected as tho next place of meeting. Elder Robert Alexander (negro), of "Wellford, S. C, obtained the floor in opposition to sepa rate presbyteries for negroes. Separate presbyteries, he said, would tend to fos ter a lower degree of morality and false doctrine. Dr. N. J. Nicholas, of St. Louis, chair man of the committee. In reply endeav ored to make clear that the church made no race distinction, ahd that this very plan was designed to bring all together at home as they are now brought together In the assembly. "We have drawn no ecclesiastic color line," said Dr. Nicholas, and "with the color lino which God has drawn we have nothing to do." It was pointed out that the only ad vance made by Presbyterians among the colored people had been where sep arate presbyteries had been estab lished. It was resolved to apply the rule to synods as well as presbyteries, and in this form the report was adopted. Other Presbyterians Favor Union. GREENVILLE, Pa.. May 27. Great en thusiasm 'was aroused today at the con ference of the United Presbyterian Church by a message brought from the Reformed Presbyterian Church of the South, by Rev. AV. W. Orr, who spoke of his church's deslro for union with the "United Presbyterians. "We have been courting 20 years," said the Southerner, "and it is time the nuptial xeremony was performed." An expression was taken, every mem ber of the assembly rising to his feet to give assent amid great applause. An ad dress was made by Rev. J. L. Nutlln, of the Gospel Mission In Utah. ENGINEERS IN MOURNING. Grand Officer of Brotherhood of En gineers Falls Dead. LOS ANGELES, May 27. T. S. Ingra ham, first grand engineer of the Interna tional Locomotive Engineers, dropped dead at his desk in the convention of the Brotherhood in this city at noon today, from apoplexy. Mr. Ingraham, who was 69 years of age, had been first grand engineer since 1S73 Ills home is in Cleveland. O., where his son now resides. He also has two mar ried daughters living in Cincinnati. None of the members of his family was with him In Los Angeles. Grand Engineer Ingraham's death came tills morning without warning. He was sitting at his desk, absorbed in 6ome work before him, when he was seen to lase consciousness suddenly and fall from 1.1s desk. Several of the delegates rushed to hi? assistance and he was tenderly laid on a couch, but expired almost Instantly. His health had not been good for some time. Two weeks ago, while attending a Masonic meeting here, he was attacked Mth a fainting epell. but was shortly revived. He was. however, subsequently confined to his bed for two or three days, but eventually recovered and was able to resume his duties in the convention. His relatives were immediately notified of bis death and his body will be takn to Cleveland next Sunday by a committee of the Brotherhood. Ingraham was first initiated Into the Brotherhood of Locomotive Engineers in the Fort "Wayne Division in 1S63. He had held several high offices In the order be fore reaching the official position which he held at the time of his death. He had been mentioned as a possible candidate for the office of grand chief engineer at the present convention, but It was under stood that he had refused to allow his name to be considered. There was no opposition to his election as first grand engineer, and he would undoubtedly have been chosen to recced himself by the present convention. He was a Knight Templar Mason. A Remarkable Coincidence. CLEVELAND. O.. May 27. Thomas S. Ingraham lived in this city and was wide ly known. He had been connected with the Brotherhood for more than 30 years, previous to which he was a locomotive engineer. He Is survived by a on and two daughters. A remarkable coincidence in connection with Mr. Ingraham's death U the fact that ex-Grand Chief P. M. Arthur, of the Brotherhood, died sudden ly of apoplexy while attending a meeting of engineers at "Winnipeg last year. AM US EM EINTS u The Queen's. Bouquet.

TOKIO, May 28. There is much re joicing at the war office this morning, because of reports from the arms in the field which show conclusively that tho capture of Port Arthur Is a ques tion of a few days. General Baron Oku reports that the advance body of the army has already occupied Tafung shan, where the retreating Russians blew up several newly-erected en trenchments before retiring. The fighting there was of a sanguinary na ture, the Japanese placing cannon on both sides of the position two days ago and shelling it early yesterday morning. The guard's division which holds the right of the line Is expected to begin the general assault on the outer earth works commanding the land side of Port Arthur within 24 hours, and it is hoped here that the celebration of the capture 'of Port Arthur will mark the first of the month.

Here were set up the searchlights which night ly played over the Japanese angle In the hills to the northeast. Further recon naissances developed the fact that west of Liu Chlatien the Russians had no de fenses extending to the northward: from Yen Chlatien to tho west coast of the Llao' Tung Peninsula there were no de fenses whatever, except the force posted at Kinchou. This gap in the defenses was a fatal defect in the Russian posi tion, and when it was perceived the Jap anese extended their right to the north and east, enveloping Kinchou and the Russian extreme right. The Japanese left also was extended to "Wang Chla Tung, on the shore of Tallenwan Bay, and the center moved forward. I Wednesday morning at half past five the Japanese attacked Kinchou, and for three hours they had an artillery duel with the batteries on Nan Shan Hill The Russian gunners searched the Jap anese lines with their fire, but failed to inflict much damage. The battle was resumed at dawn of Thursday. Three Japanese gunboats then entered Kinchou Bay, and in co-operation with the artillery on shore, shelled the Russian positions on Nan Shan Hill. A Russian gunboat in Tallenwan Bay steamed close to the shore and shelled the Japanese left. From dawn the batteries on both sides" hammered away at each other. At an early hour the Japanese Infantry moved forward, and at 20 minutes past 5 on Thursday morning they entered Kin chou, the Russians retiring to the south. The fighting continued into the night, the Japanese pressing to the south and storming Nan Shan HilL They followed tho retreating Russians through the southern hills. The reports received here fall to cover the events on the Russian right. It is probable, however, that the Russians have abandoned these positions. The Russian resistance at Nan Shan Hill was stubborn. The Japanese made a se ries of assaults before the Russians finally yielded the position. The Russians aban doned this hill at 3 o'clock in the after noon, retreating toward Nan Quan Ling, where, it is understood, a second line of defenses exists. The Russians may rally at this line of defenses unless they have been disorgan ized by the defeat at Kinchou and Nan Shan. The Russians had a series of mines plaited at Ta Fan, Sheng station, on the railroad, which were exploded. The sta tion was destroyed. , The Russians had constructed a series of trenches around the hill, on a terrace protected by w ire entanglements and other such devices. The Japanese made a series of rushes, but they were in vain. The deadly rifle and cannon fire of the enemy checked them repeatedly. Finally at 3 o'clock in the afternoon the Japanese reformed and stormed the crest of the hill. The Russians held to their po sition doggedly, and It was 7 o'clock in tho evening before the Japanese finally gained possession of the ridge. FIGHTING LASTED 16 HOURS. Russians Built Several Covered Trenches Around the Fort. "WASHINGTON, May 27. The Japanese Legation has received the following de tails of the attack on Kinchou: "The enemy built several covered trenches around the fort and Nan Hill and held the place stubbornly under strong defensive works.

The Captain of the gun boat Chokai was killed, and nine others were killed and wounded. The damage tb the vessels was Insignificant." FOLLOWING VICTORY UP. Russians Said to Have Been Swept From Tallenwan Defenses. LONDON. May 2S. The Toklo dispatch to the Associated Press and Japanese officials are the only detailed descriptions that have reached London of the Japan ese victory at Kinchou. The victory Is hailed by the London press as establish ing more -certainly than did the opera tions on the Yalu, the superiority of the Japanese on land as well as by sea, since in the case of Kinchou, If not at the Tain, the Russians had ample time to carefully prepare their positions. It appears that the conclusive victory was Immediately followed up, for the Post's Toklo correspondent asserts that the Japanese have swept the Russians from their defense west of Tallenwan. And, If the Telegraph's generally well informed correspondent is correct, and the Japanese are already nearing Port Arthur, the Russians must have suf fered a complete rout at Kinchou. That the Russians were not only defeated but routed, would also appear by the num erous capture of Russian artillery. The Telegraph's correspondent at Jap anese headquarters, communicating under date of May 26, says there is no change in the situation of the first army, but that there are frequent outpo3t en counters. "I suppose," he adds, "that the lull is due to preparations for a great battle in the direction of Llao Tang." vThe Mall's Sinmlntun correspondent, telegraphing under date of May 25, de clares there are only 2000 troops at Mukden. Russian Losses Large. CHICAGO, May 27. A special to the Daily News from Toklo says: The Japanese troops fpught bravely un der an extremely heavy fire before clear ing the Russians from the southern heights after a brave resistance. The Muscovites made several attempts to re take the hills, but after much loss of life retired finally from the narrowest part of the peninsula, which had been held so long. Japanese Losses Placed at 12,000. LONDON, May 27. A dispatch to the Central News from Harbin says the Jap anese bosses during the fighting at Kin Chou are said to have been 12,000 men killed. It Is said that these figures have been confirmed by an ofllcial dispatch. Griscom Reports the Victory. "WASHINGTON, May 27. Minister Gris com cables the State Department from Toklo that the Japanese have captured Kinchou and are marching southward. RUSSIA MAKES DEFEAT KNOWN Anniversary of Coronation of Czar is Being Celebrated at Time. ST. PETERSBURG, May 27. The news of the Japanese victory at Kinchou was published on a Russian holiday, the an niversary of the coronation of Czar Nicholas. "While there was little informa tion in government circles regarding the Russian defeat the news caused the cele brations at Tsarkoye-Selo to be short ened. Only a brief service was cele brated in the chapel, instead of the cus tomary litany, and the Czar spent the remainder of the day in the transaction of business. Judging from Its aspect, St. Petersburg might be celebrating a success instead of a reverse. All houses were decorated, and carts and streets were beflagged. The crowds in front of the bulletin boards were slightly larger than usual. All the Br, v7 fH I i o xj n, jes I UVLUL1rAiSppng BBmops ' MEMCALWi J '""j" ! wm a -...

It was rumored late tonight that Gen eral Kuropatkln had telegraphed some details direct to Minister of "War Sak haroft, which will not be transmitted to the Czar until tomorrow. The General Staff, In view of the for eign news of the capture of Kinchou, ad mitted that there was little now to hinder a Japanese advance on Port Arthur It self and that the actual siege of Port Arthur had begun In earnest. The staff Insisted, he added, on the ability of the fortress to hold out. Odds Greatly Against Japanese. TOKIO, May 27. A Japanese officer of high rank made the following statement tonight to the correspondent of the Asso ciated Press: "The Japanese, in attacking Kinchou and Nan Shan Hill, had to light against great odds. The Russians were In full command of the strategical advantages afforded by nature, and these advantages were augmented by the newest Inventions for" defense. The forts on Nan Shan Hill were a-med with heavy guns. The Jap anese had only field guns, heavy guns being unavailable on account of the diffi culties of transportation. "Our army deserves great credit for having driven the Russians from this stronghold; It was a feat previously con sidered to have been Impossible. I fear our losses have been heavy, but we have gained the strongest point barring our way to the investment of Port Arthur." No Signs of the Japanese Fleet. CHEFOO, May 2S, 12:30 P. M. A fleet of steamers arrived today from NIu Chwang and reported that no signs of the Japanese fleet of transports were ap parent on the western coast of the Liao Tung peninsula.
