Celebration In Pursuance of a Reso lution Adopted toy the Ses sion Last Year. PHIULDELPHIA, May 17. Although it has been for years the custom of the Presbyterian General Assembly to begin the real business sessions of the meeting" on Friday following the opening day, an Innovation -was introduced -this year in the form of a 20th century celebration at the Academy of Music Today was de voted exclusively to a proper observanoe of the occasion, nd prominent ministers and laymen from all sections of the coun try participated In the exercises incident to the celebration. The- meeting was In pursuance of a resolution adopted by the General Assembly at St. Louis last year. John H. Converse, IX. D., of this city, presided. The celebration began with the singing of the long-meter Doxology, fol lowed by an invocation by Dr. Mlnton, the new Moderatpr. Addresses were made by Rev. Willis G. Craig, of Chicago, who presented a review of the 19th century, and Rev. Henry C. McCook, of this rity. on "Progress of the Presbyterian Church in the 19th Century." During the course of his remarks. Dr. Craig said the world wide problem of universal evangelization could only be solved when nations were brought Into contact with each other. "We must annihilate distance," he said; "we must subjugate nature and come face to face with the people whom we expect to convert." Rev. Dr. McCook's address was prin cipally a history of the Presbyterian church. In speaking of the doctrine tf predestination he referred touchlngly to Mrs. McKinley. He stated that President Mckinley, on meeting a member of the revision committee, remarked to the lat ter; "go you are going- to revise your confession of faith?" To which the -committeeman replied: "We are going to consider the question." "Well," responded the President, "I hope ypu won't revise out of it the doctrine of predestination.'' Xet us hope." said Dr. McCook, "that as our beloved President sits by the beside of the jrOmanwho1 m he wedded in a Buckeye Presbyterian church, this good ly doctrine may be a comfort to him, whatever the issue, and that he may say with resignation: 'Not my will, but thine be done.' The speakers at the afternoon session were Rev. Dr. H. C. Minton, Rev. Dr. George C Purves, of New York, and Rob ert E. Speer, of New York City. Dr. Minton spoke on "The Divine Purpose Developed in the Progress of Time," and said in part: "The jiage of the past is but a tran script of one progressively unfolding Idea, and even to use it must be clear that the history of man can be known at all only in so far as In the same sense it Is the outworking of an Intelligible Idea. The reformed churches have compared re vealed truths with the wiser thought of the human mind, and they have found them testifying In harmony that the only key which will fit the problems of world history is the single truth that God rules." The -address of Dr. Purves on "'The Problems of the Twentieth Century" was a presentation of the conditions now con fronting the Christian church. Among other things. Dr. Purves said: "Any assault upon the fundamental con ception of man's relation to God is the Tnost dangerous of all the problems with which the Christian church must deal. The problem lies in the relation of re ligion to the intellectuality of men. We want religion that will command the ra tional assent of the human mind. The solution of this problem is the definition and- defense of the supernatural In his tory. It is our intention to face the doubt 'of the twentieth century with an af firmation of tne transcendent, supernat ural, self-revealing God. The relation of the organized church to social "progress Is another problem. How shall the organ ized Christian church meet the social re quirements of the day? We must appeal to men's hearts and consciences, and we must save the Individual morally." Dr. Purves said he believed this .end could be more quickly reached by the co operation of the different branches of the Christian church, which, for various rea sons, are not separated. Mr. Specr's topic was "The Speedy Bringing of the World to Christ." He urged earnest effort In evangelization. John Wanamaker occupied the chair at tonight's session. Dr. W. H. Roberts, treasurer of the Twentieth Century Fund, presented a supplementary report show ing receipts up to noon today, 'as fol lows: For boards of the church $ 106,030 For colleges and academies 330,642 For Young Men's Christian As sociation 117461 Miscellaneous 14,000 For local funds of churches l,0Sl,65t For improvements in local Churches and building new churches 1537,913 Total $3,397,031 This amount has been contributed by 1000 of the 7S00 Presbyterian churches in the country- Dr. Roberts stated that he had today received information that In 6t. Louis subscriptions amounting to 1B0. 000 hud been received and had not been Included in the report. He was also In formed, he said, that one-half of the amount required to remove the mortgage on the Presbyterian building in New York had been raised. This -was not Included In his report. The report., of the committee on revi sion will be laid before the commission ers tomorrow, though It is not expected the subject will be discussed by the as sembly before the middle of next week. Surprise was manifested tonight when U was learned that a minority report will be presented. The minority report agrees In all its conclusions except as to clause S, which recommends that the revision committee be instructed to prepare a brief summary of the reformed faith bearing the same relation to the confession which the shorter catechism bears to the larger catechism. The minority believes that this recommendation erects an additional standard of orthodoxy with the shorter catechism. The report Is signed by E. W C. Humphrey and William McKIb bln. A missionary and historical exhibition, arranged by the committee entertaining the commissioners to the Presbyterian General Assembly, was formally opened today In the Academy of Fine Arts. The exhibition Is intended to demonstrate the progress and achievements of the Pres byterian church from the Revolutionary period to the present time. Cumberland Presbyterian Assembly. WEST POINT.

To Guarantee the Indemnity In Re turn for Political Concessions. LONDON. May 17-"M. Do Glers re cently proposed to Il Hung Chang," says the Tokio correspondent, of the Times, wiring yesterday, "that Russia should guarantee the whole indemnity in re turn for important political concession. It Is understood that Earl Li replied that such a proposal would be liable- to the 6ame misrepresentations as prevailed af SIngaq Fu over his own advice repect. lhg the Manchurlan convention, but that when the court returned to Pekln he hoped to restore intimate relations be tween China and Russia." A dispatch to the Dally Mail from Pekln, dated May 16, says that Great Britain's proposal as to the payment of the Chinese Indemnity Is that China issue four per cent bonds with a sinking fund of one-half of one per cent. THE ERO INCIDENT. Tien Tsln Affair Assumes a Grave Character. LONDON, May 17. The Ero Incident at Tien Tsin, May 4, when some German soldiers, guarding a German bridge across the Pel Ho, at the. south end or tne -Ornish concession, fired on the British tug 'Ero, wounding two of her crew after the' vessel had touched the bridge which, impeded river traffic, te assuming a graver character. Owing to the unsatis factory nature of the German comman der's explanations, the matter has, been referred to the Brltlah Minister Qt Pe kln, Sir Ernest -Satow, with a view of diplomatic action being -taken. According to a dispatch from Pekln to the London Times, published today, after two of the Chinese crew had ,been wounded (they have slnee died), the re. mainder were arrested, taken to a Ger man prison and flogged. General Lorne Campbell aeked General 'von Lessel for an explanation of the "unwarrantable act of brutality." Von "Lessel's reply, which has Just been received, promising that the Incident shall not be repeated, at least so far as the use of arms is concerned, is regarded as Inadequate. The Times, in an editorial says: "Apart from the question of the flag which the tug flew, we have no hesitation in declaring that such 'punishments are out of all proportion to the alleged of fenBe. The fact that the crew dealt with In this high-handed style were under the British flag introduces a seri ous factor. Ton Lessel's apology la an aggravation of the wrong done us. It Is not the sort of satisfaction we are likely to accept. Tien Tsln Is not' the only place where Germans are disposed to forget that we are their allies, and not their subordinates." The Times concludes with a condemna tion of the various German expeditions. Departure of Frenchmen Delayed. PEKIN, May 17. General Voyron, the French commander, left here today to establish headquarters at Tien Tsln, but orders hai'e been received to delay the departure of the French troops tempor arily. The reason, it Is believed, Is to endeavor to ascertain the contemplated movements of the troops of the other nations. Agree to Iegratlo'n Sites. PARIS, May 17.

Chilean Claims Commission Will Soon Announce Its Decision. WASHINGTON, May 17. The cele brated Itata case. Involving a claim of J320.O0O against the Government of the United States, Is about to be determined by the Chilean Claims Commission. The commission has cleared Its entire docket of cases, with the exception of this ope, which by reason or Its Importance was the last for consideration. An adjourn ment has been taken to permit the ex change of briefs and the commission will reconvene June 8 to consider this case, the decision of which will be rendered before the final dissolution of the body June 14. The sailing of the steamer Itata from California with a cargo of arms and am munition for Chile and 'her subsequent surrender to the United States cruiser Charleston constituted One of the most stirring events of the Chilean trouble of 1S9L As set forth In the official papers submitted to the commission, the Itata was chartered by the provincial govern ment of Chile to transport small arms for the forces under the provincial gov ernment, which is held to have been the lawful government of Chile at that time. The Itata proceeded to San Diego, CaL, and soon after took on a cargo consisting of 250 cases of rifles arid 200 cases of ammunition. The shipment was made at a point near the Island of San Clemente May S, 1S81. The Itata took her cargo of arms to Iqulque, After she started American ships were sent In chase of her and a famous race down through the Pacific Ocean occurred between the pur sued and the pursuers. At the same time Admiral McCann, commander-in-chief of the American forces in Chile, notified the Chilean government that the Itata, In procuring her cargo of arms within the waters of the United States, was guilty of a violation of our neu trality laws. The Itata was brought back by the Charleston under command of Captain Remey and was given over to the United States Marshal at San Diego. Aside from the claim Itself, the case presents many interesting legal questions 1 as to the right or a neutral government to prevent the shlpme'nt of arms intended for belligerents.

Portland, Or., May 10, 190L To whom It may concern: For more than 20 years I have been a sufferer from sick headache. I have been much troubled with constipation all my life and for more than two years I have been greatly annoyed with a distressing form of diabetes. About two months ago I began drinking "Whitter Medical Springs Water" and have continued its use to the present time. As a result I have not been afflicted with evenas much as a symptom of sick headache since I commenced using this water. My consti pation has disappeared and my bowels move regularly and I am no longer har assed with sufferings from diabetes. Prior to beginning the use of this water I had tried nearly all sorts of remedies without avail as to any of the above-named ail ments. It therefore affords me pleasure to give these words of testimony as to the merits of the "Whitter Medical Springs Water." H. W. PARKER. Foot of Mead Street. Portland, Or. STRIKERS QUIET DOWN REACTION AFTER THE: TURBULENT SCENES AT ALBANY. Early Settlement of the Troable Is AnticipatedMore National Gaardsnien Arrive. ALBANY, N. Y., May 17. A drenching rain Succeeding a warm, humid day, made it unpleasant for the military guarding the city tonight, but had the effect of clearing the street corners of crowds. There was no repetition today of the scenes of disorder and turbulence that have marked the other days. of the strike. There was ,the same imposing show of military strength and In mld-afternoorr 600 additional troops of the Ninth Regi ment of New York City were added to the already large force now on duty here. Two elements seemed to contribute to the quietness that prevailed, one the general anticipation of a settlement of the strike and the other- a feeling of sobriety that succeeded the angei and indignation over the killing of William Walsh and Leroy .Smith. More nonunion men were brought into the city, but contrary to expectation their coming did not inflame sentiment to any appreciable extent. The Traction Company added part of another division to the section operated by force of arms and, as on the preceding, day, began late in the morn ing and quit early in the evening. Under orders from the officers the street pa trols kept people moving, and It is doubt ful if a crowd numbering 600 assembled anywhere fti the city during tile day.. The, Quail street barn was again the center from whtoh action radiated. A heavy forpe of. troops was massed there and at 9 o'clock a battalion of the Twenty-third Regiment and the Signal Corps Cavalry troops were sent west ward to the New York Central tracks and picked up 25. nonunion men who had been quietly dropped at a crossing some distance from the West Albany Station. They were quickly embraced In a hollow square of Infantry and hurried to Quall street Barn. Once the nonunion men were safe in the barn the movement of cars began. Major Case, who commanded v the battalion in charge at the Dam, in structed his men that in case of .attack they were to use their rifle butts, then their bayonets, and, as a last resort, their cartridges. The mounted signal men were instructed to use first their horses, then the backs of their sabres, next their sabre blades and last their revolvers. The distribution of troops along the line into the city and out to North Albany was the same, as on the previous day and the whole distance was effectively covered. At several points sharpshooters were stationed on roof tops and every possible precaution to guard against suc cessful attack was taken. The first car had glided down Into the city before It was generally known that one was in motion, but it attracted only slight 'no tice. The cars carried strong guards, who sat with their guns half aimed, In constant readiness' for trouble. The" arrival of the Ninth Regiment created a stir that subsided after It had marched away to its camp on the heights In South Albany. The special train of 16 cars that brough'. the Ninth from New York rang its way into Union Station at 3:20 o'clock this afternoon. When it pulled In the troops came piling out and soon marched into Broadway. Their bag gage wagons were stoned on the way out through South Albany, but the escort disregarded the attack. After hours of conference the officials of the United Traction Company and the committee from the organization of the strikers adjourned without changing- the situation. The company will proceed to run Its cars tomorrow on every" line with in the city limits with the aid of the mili tary. , The only step toward settlement that was made was the appointment to night "of a committee from the Common Council to arbitrate, and the adoption of a resolution declaring that if a settlement is not effected by Monday night the Coun cil shall revoke' the franchise of the com pany. The company declares that, such action will be of no effect, as the road has a vested right that cannot be taken from It The reason there Is no settlement to night is because the company refuses to discharge the men brought from other points to take strikers' places. This is a new phase of the controversy, and prom ises to develop far more consequences and Impediments In the way of settlement than have been anticipated at any time since the strike was called. It Is a mat ter which had not been considered bjj the strikers or the public. The company on the wages question was willing to increase the wages of the extra 'men and 'night trippers to 19 cents per hour, but re fused to establish a uniform rate of 20 cents an hour for all employes, as4 re quested by the strikers. There Is a well-defined rumor that the company will try to move a car In Troy In the morning, and in the event of not receiving proper protection, will call on General Roe for military assistance. A Settlement at Troy. TROY, N. Y., May 17. A committee of the Troy division of the Amalgamated Association of Street Railway Employes has waited upon Mayor Conway and In formed him that the strike has been set tled. The.tommlttee says that under the terms of the agreement the -employes are to receive 20 cents per hour, and that the company will treat with a committee of either union or nonunion men. After notifying the Mayor, the committee vis ited the headquarters and informed the members of the union. The news was received by the strikers with cheers. THE MACHINISTS' STRIKE. Trouble Expected at Northern Pa cific, Coast Cities. WASHINGTON, May 17. The execu tive board of the National Association of Machinists assembled here this afternoon to be prepared for any emergency In con nection with the general strike. President O'Connell said there was no possibility of averting the general strike. From the statements of the executive board It de velops that the most trouble Is expected at Cincinnati, San Francisco and the Northern Pacific Coast cities. As a result of the meeting of the general officers, an address to the craft was drafted and made public tonight. It Is In part as fol lows: "In the majority of crafts both skilled and the so-called unskilled the effort for shorter hours has been uniformly success ful, and they have for a number of years enjoyed the pleasures that come with greater leisure. Machinists, owing to the fact of their Isolation In the past In the labor movements, have not enjoyed this right and privilege until now. After a de cade of education they have concluded that the time has arrived when they, too, should share In the same emjoyments.. In reaching this conclusion and seeking simi lar favors, they know they are not stretching their demands beyond the bounds of reason, or seeking something to which they have no valid claim." Another Bntte Smelter Shnt Dorvn. BUTTE, Mont., May 17. The Colorado Smelter today followed the example A of the Butte & Boston, and shut down. A meeting of the Mill and Smeltermen's Union will be held Saturday flight and an effort may be made to patch up the differences between the companies and the men. The miners are said to be tak ing an active part In trying to effect a settlement, as a continuance of the shut down at the two works may eventually, result In closing some of the mines. The companies adhere to their determination not to grant the eight-hour day. to, men not actively engaged In the smelters. IfeTV York Bricklayers Locked?

Klernan says that the light from this shines directly Into the smaller room and that It would be impossible for any person to -have gone into the room even at night without dis covering the body. The doctor said that he went in there a number of times but never saw the body. The odor from the body was noticed by the neighbors for several days. When the 'detectives asked Stanley If he had not detected' it v he said he had' and had made inquiries about It',, but thought Jit came 'from a fish' mar ket next 'door.
