2 TIIE MORXIXG OKEGOXTAX SATURDAY, MAT 30. 1903. PRESBYTERIANSTD I AT Colorado City Defeats Seattle in Contest for 1909 Assembly. ... OFFERS BONUS OF, $15,000 Technical, Legal and Administrative Questions Occupy Host of the Cloaing Session of Kansas City Church Convention. KANSAS CITY, May 29. Technical, legal and administrative questions oc cupied most of the sessions of the gen eral aseembly of the Presbyterian Church in the United states of America today. The routine of this procedure was relieved somewhat by the prelim inary skirmishing ot the adherents of Denver and Seattle for next year's asxembly. The excitement was all in the preliminaries and, as the assembly voted almost unanimously for Denver on the flrnt ballot, subsequently the vote was made unanimous. The assembly will meet in Denver on the third Thursday in May, the time beins; fixed by the rules of the or ganization. Denver's offer of a bonus of $U,OJ, her more fe-orable location, and the fact that the semi-centennial celebration of the Presbyterian Church in Colorado-will be held In 1909, were powerful arguments In Influencing the vote. Kniirond Fares Factor. It was clnimed for Denver, aside from the big bonus offered, that if the assembly were held there it would cost much less in the matter of railroad fares than the long trip to the Pacific Coast, a burden that must fall upon the churches and one that the assem bly was particularly anxioUB to lighten. Then, also, it was argued, the general assembly had never yet convened in the Rockies. Dr. Mark A. Matthews, of Seattle, made an eloquent plea in behalf of that city, putting forth the grand climate of the far Northwest and the unusual beauty spots that it presented. When the voting began it was early apparent that the great majority of the delegates favored Denver. No count of the ballot taken waa kept, but when it had been concluded Dr. Matthews promptly withdrew the name of Seattle and moved that Denver be unanimously made the selection. This was done amid scenes of much enthu siasm. May 3Iect Biennially. Acting on the recommendation of the committee on polity, the assembly de cided to appoint a committee of nine members, four members and five elders, which shall report at the next as sembly, to study the question of " the general assembly" In an effort to make it a more deliberative body, and If ad visable, lessen the number of co'mmis- blnneri and hnlri tha atiamhlv hf.n- MEE DENVER J" nlally. The constitutional question as to whether the assembly had the right to establish presbyteries without first con sulting the synods affected, was the subject of long debate, and It was finally decided that the assembly should not assume that authority. Ask for Homo Rule. An overture from the German speaking Presbyterians asking for home rule or independent presbyteries embodied in the report of the commit tee of policy, was of surpassing Im portance in the proceedings today. The general assembly considered the ques tion of Jurisdiction and decided that it would be bad precedent to act in the presbytery of the synods affected. Former Secretary of State John W. Foster, Vlce-Sloderator D. R. James of Brooklyn, and Dr. Stuart Dodge of the Board of Home Missions, were ap pointed a committee to confer with the authorities at Washington in re gard to the interference with the work of the American Board and American Tract Societies at Ellis Island.

KKORGAXIZE THE BOARDS Methodists Deal With Home Mis sions and Church Extension. BALTIMORE. May 2S.--The (renerat conference of the Methodist Episcopal Church today continued discussion of a constitution for the board of church extension and home missions, organ ired during the last quadrennial. Prac tically all the mornlnfr session was de voted to the presentation of amend ments to the report of the committee on the subject, and for awhile the con ference woe in utter confusion over the parliamentary statue of some of them.

The conference did away with the district boards of home missions and church extension. IS MAX OF MICH LEARNING Methodist Choose Veil in Bishop John I. Nnelnon. Br 1. I Kader. Kdltor Partflo Christian Ad vocal. BALTIMORE. May 22. (Special Cor respondence.) Dr. William F. Ander son, who has just been elected a bishop of the Methodist KpUcopal Church, is -IS years of age, and was born in Mor icantown, W. VI r. He was educated in the publio schools and graduated from the Ohio Western University 24 years ago. He received his theologi cal training in Drew Seminary, Mor ristown, N. J. He spent 20 years in the pastorate, four years of which time he was the recording secretary of the Board of Education of the church in New Tork City. Bishop Anderson Is a man of fine appearance, of strong, pleasing votcow onimanUlnff presence, and ingratiat ing manners. He is a forceful speak er, of clear thought and ready utter ance, and will doubtless be a credit to the great office to which he has been called. Bishop John L. Nuelsori was born in Switzerland, where his father and uncle had gone from America to es tablish the first Methodist mission in Switzerland and Germany. He lived in Switzerland until he was 19 years of age. His ancestors were German, though his father and grandfather were born in America. He has the most extensive education, and is 'the most erudite of any among the bishops since the death of Bishop Hearst. He is only 41 years of age, he is tall and rather attractive gn appearance, al though there is nothing striking or commanding in his presence. He has a pleasant, cordial manner, and is es pecially agreeable to the German brethren. Immediately after his election Bish op Nuelson hurried to his wife, of which meeting an observer gives the following account: "Slipping out behind the scenes he hastened to a box where she was sit ting with frfends. She was so intent on trying to locate her husband that she did not see him enter, and it was not until a friend touched her on the arm that she turned and saw him. With a low cry of delight she jumped to her feet. Without a word, but with a smile, they clasped hands and kissed each other. Then, apparently too much overcome by their feelings to say a word, they sank into seats and for several minutes never said a word." Between the ballots for bishops the following resolution in reference to the visit of the conference to Ameri can University at Washington, and the hearty reception given to the con ference by President Roosevelt, was adopted with enthusiasm: Whereas, On May 10. IPM. President Roosevelt, in the midst of a strenuous public life, did find time to welcome and address the general conference at the seat of the American University. In words and spirit most acceptable to us as Methodists, and therein clearly set forth his kinship to us in Christ, and his hearty appreciation of the history and progress of our church. It is hereby Resolved. That as an expression of our appreciation of said welcome and address, and as a token of our brotherly affection, we aa delegates of the general conference hereby direct and empower the secretary of this body to select an appropriately bound copy from the first edition of our 1908 disci pline by us authorized, cause same to be duly inscribed and forwarded to his excel lency, Theodore Roosevelt. President of these United States. SPECIAL PERMITS INVALID SUCH ACTS BY COCNClLi ARE FOUND TO BE ILLEGAL. Charter Provision Discovered When Confetti Merchant Asks Permit to Vend His Wares. The City Council has been guilty of a large number of illegal acts during its history, according to the terms of the charter, which were explained at an ad journed meeting of the legislative body yesterday morning. All special permits granted are without authority of law, the charter holds, and this fact was brought out clearly when K. I Bernard sought to secure a permit to sell and throw confetti on the streets during the Rose Festival. His application was de nied. Mayor Lane called the attention of the Council men to tne terms of the charter, as pointed out by Deputy City Attorney Grant, and the Mayor said that all of the special permits that have been given to many people for various lines of busi ness are void. Notwithstanding it was the desire of the East Side Business Men's Club to have the special permit granted to Mr. Bernard, the Mayor said that he would be forced to veto the or dinance if it passed. There was a decided sentiment attains t confetti-throwing, and Councilmen Baker and Cellars spoke against the passing of any ordinance permitting paper to be hurled in the streets uuring the Rose Festival. Mr. Baker declared the prac tice to be vicious, annoying, in the ex treme to many people and a positive danger to all. Mr. Cellars opposed the ordinance because it specified one indi vidual alone who was to be. permitted to handle confetti. thereby making It "spe cial legislation." Scarcely a Council meeting passeB but one or more permus are granted. Now, It Is declared, all these are void, and it is wtthin the police power to stop operations on every one of them. Many special per mits have been granted to persons to haul dirf over hard-surface pavements, to use portions of the sidewalks and the streets and for other purposes, but the charter holds them all to be without authority of law, and of no effect, mayor Lane has vetoed many such permits, but the Council majority faction has aa often passed the ordinances over his veto. BOURNE OUT OF SENATE Disappears Early In Filibuster and Cannot Be Found. WASHINGTON', May 29. CSpecial.) Senator Bourne left his party in the lurch during the filibustering proceedings in the Senate tonight. He disappeared early In the discussion and, when wanted to help make up a quorum, could not be found by the sergeant-at-arms and other officers of the Senate. Senator Borah also disappeared when an attempt to get a quorum was made. THREE CORNERS AT CLOSE (Continued From Plrnt Paa0 Raid that the shorts have delivered to Mr. Patten and his friends not far from 5,000,000 bushels of corn and close to 8,600,000 bushels of oats. The "corner" has been largely In May corn, and Mr. Patten's holdings of this option were accumulated between 55 and 60 cents: Subsequent buying necessary to support the market at critical periods raised the average purchase price about 6 cents a bushel. The deal bejran eary tn October, 1907. In that month May corn sold up to 65 t4 cents. The financial troubles which came ubout that time tumbled the price to 63 1 cents. After the financial flurry had abated the price of May corn advanced slowly. During: February It sold up to 62ty cents, and In March at 68 "4 cents. Since then It has continued to climb and shorts have scoured the country for corn to deliver on their May contracts. Immense quantities of the grain have been de livered to Mr. Patten, but he has paid for it all and apparently stood ready at all times to take more. Karly In May the shorts commenced desperate efforts to fill the Chlcagro elevators with corn, and many of the Western railroads issued "rush" orders to apply on all corn shipments. ' De spite this, however, the Patten crowd were not compelled to let pro. nor was Its hold on the market weakened to any apparent extent. General Ashtou Hurled From Horse. TACOMA. May 29. (Special.)

He will be con fined to his house Xox several weeks. FALLIERES IS HOME France Rejoices Over Recep tion Given Him in England. NEW TRIPLE ALLIANCE? Statesmen Hint at Possible Under standing Between France, Russia and England to Preserve the Peace of Europe! PARIS, May 29. The splendid reception accorded President Fallieres in England has created Intense satisfaction in offi cial circles in France and It Is regarded as the crowning proof of the wisdom of the policy inaugurated when France and Great Britain liquidated their difficulties and shook hands In 1901. Nevertheless, no official encouragement is given te the talk of supplementing the existing entente between the two countries with a formal alliance. The Foreign Office takes the position that it is useless to attempt to discount the future. "An alliance in spirit. If not in letter, already exists." an official of the For eign Office said today, "and we are con tent for the moment to allow the entente to pursue natural lines, unhampered by formal phrases or conditions." At the tame time the apparent possi bility of closer relations, not only be tween Great Britain and France, but between France, Great Britain and Rus sia, is distinctly envisaged. The forth coming visit of King Edward and Presi dent Fallieres to Emperor Nicholas in St. Petersburg are expected to clinch the bonds between the three countries and perhaps lead to the formation of a new "triple alliance for the preservation of the peace of Europe." A movement for such a combination is being actively promoted on both sides of the Channel, its partisans claiming that it would completely checkmate Germany and in con;unction with the Anglo-Japanese alliance, be made the political arbiter of both Hemispheres. BID FAREWELL TO FALLIERES King and Royal Family See Him to 'Train. LONDON, May 29. M. Fallieres, president of the French Republic, brought his four days' visit to London to a close this morning when he left for Dover. King Edward, the Prince of Wales and other members of the royal family, the members of the Cab inet .and a party of diplomats gath ered at the railroad station to bid M. Fallieres farewelL The crowd that gathered around the station gave him a rousing farewell cheer. The British ships at Dover and the forts fired royal salutes as the vessel carrying the president steamed out of the harbor. A fleet of British torpedo boats accompanied the steamer until she was well out of the harbdt" waters. RECEIVER FOR GOULD LINE Made Necssary by Gould's Refusal to Aid Pittsburg Terminal. PITTSBURG.

McMaster, general superintendent of the Wabash lines east of Toledo, O., as receivers for the Wabash-Pittsburg Terminal Railway Company. Their bond was fixed at $100,000. NEW TORK, May 29. An interest close ly associated with the Goulds was quoted today to the effect that at a meeting of the directors of the Wabash Railroad Company yesterday it was decided not to furnish further money for the Wabash Pittsburg Terminal Company, thereby making reorganization essential. A committee was formed today to rep resent the interests of tha holders of the first, mortgage 4 per cent bonds of the Wabash-Pittsburg Terminal Company in event of a. default in the payment of an installment of interest on those bonds amounting to $600,000, which falls due on Monday next. The committee is com posed of James N. Wallace, president of the Central Trust Company of this city, chairman; Paul Morton, president of the Equitable Life Assurance Society; Haley Fiske, Harry Brenner, Myron T. Herrick, ot Ohio; Gordon Abbott and Charles P. Butlel. THREAT AGAINST OLDER Dynamiters Will Blow Vp Bulletin for Offering Reward. SAN FRANCISCO. May 29.

While Price's career has lacked the sensational features which marked Mr. Sully's brief tenure of the "cotton throne," he has been generally consid ered the most prominent operator in the New York cotton market since the days of John Inman. He first attracted inter national attention as a member of the firm of Price. McCormtck & Co.. which failed on December 24, 1900. The firm failed for about tl3.000.0no, but Price at once set about rehabilitating his for tunes and succeeded so well that during the past three or four years he has paid off his individual portion of the firm's remaining debt, amounting to over 11.000.000. notwithstanding the fact that the claim had been through bankruptcy and been outlawed.

When La Follette was .recog nized to resume hta speech, he said: "I have been informed that there is to be a rule sprung: on me that a Sena tor cannot speak more than twice on a subject in a legislative day. I would like to know whether, if I should yield the floor, I could get it again?" Several Senators concurred in . the statement that La Follette probably had placed the right construction on the rules and it was evident that, if he gave up the floor, he would have a hard time securing it again. Will Return to Plague Senate. Later La Follette secured a rollcali on the question of quorum and immediately demanded another rollcali. Aldrich made a point that the second motion was not in order, as no business had intervened. La. Follette threatened that, if such a -precedent was established, it would come up to plague the Senate. Aldrich's motion was adopted 35 to 5. If the vote is enforced, it will end the incessant demands for rollcalls to ascer tain whether a quorum is present. Davis Coming to Help. The interpretation of the rules prevent ing La Follette from again getting the floor, if he should give up. disinclined him to surrender to Stone, evidently fearing to do so until the arrival of Davis of Arkansas. The rumor that the latter would be here in a few hours was con firmed by a telegram received at mid night. At 2 o'clock in the morning La Follette let it be known that he intended to speak until 8 or 9 A. M. Shortly after 2 o'clock Culberson called attention to the absence of a quorum. Not more than a dozen Senators were in the chamber. Aldrich insisted that, if Culberson, took the floor, he would dis place the Senator from Wisconsin. Cul berson's purpose was merely to read the Congressional Record of March 3. 187, when repeated rollcalls were ordered when no business intervened. La Fol lette read the entire record, showing the precedent of repeated rollcalls. ZiA FOILETTK TALKS AIiLi NIGHT Keeps Senators Awake and Active With Frequent Rollcalls. WASHINGTON. May 23. Immediately after the Senate met, Aldrich moved to dispense with the reading of the journal and then agreed to a mo tion by Depew to take up the Government employes' liability bill, but McLaurln in sisted that it be considered after the con ference report on the currency bills had been disposed of. When ultimately the currency report was taken up and Vice-President Fair banks called for the ayes and noes on the report, there was a chorus of affirmative votes from the Republican side, but be fore the noes could be called for Culber son was on his feet to discuss the report. The Texas Senator proceeded to chide the majority party with long delay in en acting financial legislation which had be gun, he said, six months ago. He declared that the bill was In the In terest of the gambling interests of the country to such a great extent "that the usual subterfuge of the general welfare has not been suggested." Culberson then launched into a po litical speech on the expenditures of the Government during the administration of President Roosevelt, which he said was fortunately drawing to a close. A roll call had shown Senators present, but they soon disappeared and La Follette again raised the point of no quorum. Another call showed 60 Sen ators, and Culberson continued his dis cussion of Government expenditures, when La Follette again called attention to the absence of a quorum. v "The Senator declines to yield," stated the Vice-President. La Follette then made a point of order, was overruled and appealed from the decision of the chair and proceeded to assail the decision. Fail ing to secure a roll call, he indignantly declared that a dangerous precedent was being made by the J'ice-President, but his appeal was tabled, 22 to 14.

"Does the presiding officer intend to establish a precedent of counting a quorum?" inquired La Follette, sug gesting that that action might come back "to plague the Senate." During the colloquy. Aldrich was on his feet approving the ruling and a large number of Senators were present on the Republican side. Culberson then continued the read ing of his statement of receipts and ex penditures. L.a Follette Begins Speech. Before La Follette took the floor and was recognized there was a de mand that the question of adopting the report be put to the Senate. After 57 Senators had responded to the roll-call La Follette proceeded with his re marks on the currency bills reported by the conferees. - - ,, A long and complicated controversy occurred in the Senate between La Fol lette and Aldrich on the exact status of railroad bonds and stocks so far as their possible use was concerned as security for emergency currency. La .Follette wanted to know whether railroad bonds and stocks would be used as a basis, for a currency issue. Aid-rich said he did not believe they would W. La Follette declared that the statement of Aldrich that he did not believe rail road bonds and stocks would be used as securities for emergency currency was not in accordance with the Senator's re ply to Teller a few days ago, when he said railroad bonds could be so used. Whenever the attendance of Senators fell below a quorum, the fact was com municated to La Follette by his clerk, who evidently had been Instructed to maintain a correct count. The clerk would place the figures before the Sena tor, who would then demand the calling of the roll. Says Aldrich Not Frank. A most unusual scene occurred when La Follette resumed. Referring to Al drich. he said he (Aldrich) had not answered his questions "frankly" and that he had to cross-examine him in or der to obtain the desired information con cerning the bill. Foraker was quickly on his feet, de claring that the Wisconsin Senator had violated the rules of the Senate and should take his seat. After some skirmishing. Gore moved that the Senator from Wis consin be allowed to resume the floor and proceed with the speech in order. A roll call was had on the motion, which resulted in 46 Senators voting in the af firmative and one, Foraker, in the nega tive. La Follette, who did not vote, im mediately resumed his speech. Gallinger read a rule of the Senate which permits the privilege of the floor to clerks of Senators only while en gaged in official business. He de clared that La Follette's clerk had been on the floor for two hours, counting Senators and reporting the absence of a quorum to the Senator from Wiscon sin, thus aiding the Senator in his fili bustering tactics. The Vice-President decided that the clerk was not entitled to the floor. Will Talk Another Bay. La Fotlette read at length from a work of fiction on the subject of the physical valuation of railways, occa sionally calling for a quorum. He de clared that he would be able to make himself heard, "not only tonight, but tomorrow as well." The chamber was crowded as the evening session wore on. The galleries, with the exception of (sections reserved for the Senators' families, and for the diplomatic corps, also were crowded. At 8:30 o'clock Stone of Missouri called for a quorum and left the Capi tol for his hotel, after making his point, saying it was necessary to se cure some sleep before beginning his promised speech. At 9:20 o'clock Gore called for a quorum, remarking that It was evident there was a lack of the required num ber of Senators. "Anybody can see that," said the Senator from Wisconsin, turning to the blind Senator. The vigor and resources of La Follette were probably never more severely tested than they were tonight. At 11:30 o'clock he was in better voice and was speaking with more vehemence than had charac terized his remarks at 3 o'clock. He was also making more attempt at presenting an argument than he had done during the day. Evidently it was not his pur pose to devote his remarks to the merits of the currency bill exclusively. He touched upon what he characterized as a threat to defeat the public ' buildings bill in case the currency bill did not be come a law, and discussed the tariff and other public questions. After La Follette had spoken for more than 10 hours, he received a note from TT .A points north some watcher he had placed on guard. "Why." he said, reading tt. "I did not know I was speaking to only 26 Sena tors. I will have to make this speech all over." Send for Reinforcements. Stone returned just before midnight and it was rumored that Jefferson Davis had telpgraphed La Follette that he was coming and to hold out until he reached Washington early Saturday. It was also said that several Democrats had re ceived dispatches from Mr. Bryan, urg ing them to Join in the filibuster, but this was not generally credited. Republican leaders say they will have a quorum from their own membership tomorrow and that they will not be de layed by one or two men filibustering, if they have to keep Congress in session indefinitely. Stone arranged to relieve La Follette. He later had Just raised a point of no quorum and Aldrich moved that the sergeant-at-arms be Instructed to compel the attendance of absentees from the chamber who are in the city. The pur pose of Aldrich's motion was to compel La Follette to remain in the chamber. Stone, who was anxious to take the Wis consin Senator's place, moved to suspend the execution of the order, but the mo tion was defeated by the Republicans. La Follette proceeded with his speech.
