INDULGE IN MORE WRANGLING Warm Wordy Controversies at tnc Presbyterian Assembly, IMPOBTANT MEASUfiES DISCUSSED Tnanlmlty of Opinion In Favor of Sunday Closing of tha World', Fair A Firm Stand Taken. Associated Press. Washington, May 22. At this morn. lng's session ot the general assembly there was a sharp struggle over the matter of reference overtures In the Brlgga case. There was considerable misunderstanding and much confusion for a time, but in the end all the Brlggs overtures were referred to the judl' clary committee. The general assembly adopted a reB' olutlon declaring any attempt here after to open the gates of the World's Fair on Sundays to be a gross affront to the Christian conscience, and a fla grant breach of faith. ' The Presbyboard of missions among freedmen reported and- recommended $250,000 for work and $400,000 for Blddle University. The moderator then announced the remaining committees among chairmen of synods as follows: Oregon, Henry G. Pollock; Washington, Jas. N. Mc- Dlffond. ! Then there was another outbreak in the Brtggs case. Dr. Toung stated that the overtures from Chicago and Detroit had tfeen found to have no ref erence to tha 'Briggs case, and insisted that . they be sent to a committee of the church politic He movfed to so amend It. There was ho't talk then, but the amendment was beaten and the overtures w'jnt to the committee, At the afternoon session the report of thte committee on Sabbath obser vance came up for consideration. Pres- ldent Warfield of Lafayette College, proposed an additional rcommendation that the third Sunday in June be sfet apart as a day when sermons be pre pared in all the churches and prayers be offered In bohalf of the effort to keep the gates of the World's Fair closed. Rev. Mr. McCauley, of Dayton Ohio, offered another addition .to it That In caste the Sunday closing rule be violated, the exhibit of the Presby terian Church be removed. Several rec ommendations, together with these. were adopted. In the progress of the discussion Rev. W. S. Jerome of Pontlac, Mich, opposed the removal of the Presbyter ian exhibit in case; the Sunday closing law was violated. He opposed it, for th ereason that If the fair weie kept open on Sunday there was all the more reason why the exhibit should be where the people could see something good, Dr. Jerome was overwhelmingly in the minority. Th(? report of the committee on edu cation was presented by Rev. Thos. D Ewlng of Corning, Iowa. It recommend ed the work of the board and asked $150,000 for work next, year. The board is now comparatively out of debt, the amount being reduced from $7000 to $600. Dr. Poor, said In the past six years the Presbyterian denomination had compelled to draw on other denomina tions for 5,500 ministers to do its work, and the appeal for money to carry on the work of educating young men for the fnlnlstfy Iwasi siupjplemented by President Warfield, of Lafayette Col lege, who denounced as a shame and a reproach, tha attitude of the church toward young men who desire to pre pare for Its ministry and have not the funds to eecure an education. Elder Davis Jacks, of Monterey, Cal ifornia, closed the discussion with a suggestion that he would give $100 towards wiping out the $600 debt of the board still remaining. The recom mendations of the committee were adopted. The overtura from the Pres bytery ojf St. Clalrville, asking the board of education to lend money to candidates who prefer to borrow rather than accept a gift, was reported with favorable recommendation. The maxi mum amount to be loaned was $150 per annum. The recommendation was voted. WHISKY BREWING TROUBLES. Peoria, May' 22. -Matters seem to have quieted down somewhat in the whisky trust troubles here. President Greenhut said this morning that the trust's attorney is considering the with drawal of the Peoria distilleries, and had promised an opinion during the day, and until that was received he could say nothing. He certainly had no fear of a receivership, as the com pany was paying all bills presented. The representatives of the seceding dis tilleries view their action in a different way this morning. They say they took possession of their property as any owner might when rent to not p;ild, but have no Intention of abandoning the trust. In fact, they admit that they were. bluffing yesterday, and say everything will be arranged satisfac torily, v New Nork, May 22. The withdrawal of five distilleries from the whisky trust caused a break In. the stock at the opening of the stock exchange this morning from 17-38 to 13, afterward rallying tor IB, i.
