WismsoTos , D. C. , May 27. A breathing
spoil has been given the members of the
Presbyterian general assembly , and for two
days they will bo able to rest from.tho con
sideration of the case of Dr. Hrlggs. The
attendance of the assembly today was by no
moan * as largo ns It was yesterday.
Notwithstanding the fact that the mornIng -
, Ing session wns devoted to routine business ,
there wns ono little breeze that came very
near growing Into a well developed storm. It
was In the form of an attack upon
n Bister denomination hy a com
missioner to the assembly. The
trouble followed directly upon the reading
of the rojiort of tlio committee on church
Unity. Plcasnnt reference had been made to
other churches which had shown tholr do-
alro to co-opcrnto with the Presbyterian
church on the basis of a common ftuth and
order. The report touched particularly upon
the attitude taken by the Protestant Epis
copal church , which had evidenced a de
cided willingness to meet the Presbyterian
church on common grounds. Then the
trouble tame. Dr. A. N. Hollllleld of the
synod ot Now Jersey stepped to the platform -
' form and with a paper In his hand , flred a
stinging shot at the Episcopal church. Ho
spoke of her ns "the maiden In tlie proposed
union on ncrount of her smaller size and love
of dress. " "Tho road to Homo , " "Burning
candles , " "Gcnullectlons nnd confessions , "
were- few of the epithets ho hurled at tlio
Episcopal church.
Dr. Booth of Now York protested against
"such an undeserved nnd uncalled-for at
tack , " and was warmly hpplnuded.
Dr. Itrlggft' Trlul Postponed.
At the opening of the general assembly
this morning the chairman of the judiciary
committed announced that it had boon
unable to get ready for the trial of Prof.
Brlggs nt such short notice , and asked that
It bo put over until Monday morning. The
request wns agreed to.
The Dostponumcnt is said to bo largely duo
to the inability of the parties to decide U | > on
the time they shall ask to present their
cnse.
cnse.Kov. . Dr. W. C. sfoung of Kentucky rend n
report of the committee on bills and over
tures on matters submitted by a number of
presbyteries with reference to an overture
from Znncsvlllo presbytery on the part
woman may take in the public and promis
cuous assemblies. The committee recom
mended that all such questions bo left to the
wine discriminations of the pastors and
church. Adopted.
C In rejrnrd to an overture from th o Haiti-
i more presbytery looking to a union with the
southern church , the committee recom
mended that no action bo taken at this
time. Adopted.
Conceining the report , Dr. Young stated
that tlio committee wns overwhelmingly in
favor of unity , but they believed this was
not a propitious time for it.
Hev. Dr. Joseph T. Smith of Baltimore ,
chairman of the committee on church unity ,
recited the progress that it had made in its
conference with the Episcopal commission ,
stating that while organic unity could not
now bo expected , there was a basis of co
operation upon winch they could work.
llcaolutloni on tlio CJonry I.iw. :
Elder Cutcheon , chairman of the commit
tee on the Geary law , was given the lloor
and reported as follows :
The exclusion nnd registration net of May ,
1802 , Is the huurcmo law of the land. No un-
bottled legal ciiiestlon In reference to It re
mains for tlio consideration of your commit

The committee believes , however , that It M
right , and thu diitv of this nssemply

The report was received and adopted.
Another committee was appointed to Join
Dr. Bryson in visiting the president.
Dr , Young of tlio committee on bills and
overtures presented overtures from sixty-
sorcn presbyteries , requesting the prepara
tion of n new , short form of confession of
faith and other provisionary authorizations ,
the committee unanimously recommending
that the matter be postponed In view of the
recent nction of the majority of the presby
teries not to legislate on these subjects nt
.present. The committee hoped that the
church might experience Hint same state of
'hlngs narrated in
the thirty-first verso of
the ninth chapter of Acts : "Then had the
churches rest throughout all .Tudea and Gall-
ice nnd Samaria nnd wcro cdlllcd ; ana walkIng -

Southern church rejiortcd through Elder
Cutcheon. He stated tlmt the commit tee had

ceived from our representatives In that
country leads us to fear they may bo In peril
of their 1 lives , And wo therefore pray that
every txmlblo provision bo made to insure
tnliT safety In case this danger is realized.1
The assembly voted authority to the com
mittee to forward the communication to the
secretary of state.
Mr. Cutcheon also reports from the com
mittee on the Geary exclusion law , the
resolutions offered by Her. Mr. Heed of the
Shan Lun mission , China , recommending
that they bo adopted. This was done after
nn explanatory statement by Mr. Heed In
which ho stated that. In his opinion , the
only hope for the continued safety of the
missionaries In China lay In the friendly dis
position of the government of the country.
The first order of the evening was the re

societies presented several days ago.
The assembly then adjourned until 0 a. m.

Slliit3H\'S XKTAKK.
OMAUA , May 20 , To the Editor of Tnn
Bcc : I um surprised at some of-the very
grave mistakes made by Father Sherman in
his exceedingly eloquent address in Exposi
tion hall last night. Attribute his state
ment that it was in the very hull where ho
spoke that the great populist , national con-
vention assembled on the Fourth of July
last to a mere error of Information in itself
Insignificant. It wns in the Coliseum that
the immense convention which included
much of the enlightened advance thought
nnd mnny of the able and eminently reputa
ble men nnd women of the nation nsscmbled.
That convention cannot be held more re- !
sponslblo for the vague utterances nnd
empty vaporlngs of hare-brained orators
and ranting bigots than can any other con
vention. . Neither did the intelligence of
. the j convention nor the great mass of the
populist party itself endorse these utter
ances and the vngueries recited for Incor
poration in the platform. When the young
Driest charges that this convention cncoui ]
ngcd socialistic doctrines and thu inaugur
ation of a religious war against the Homan
Catholic church , ho showed himself griev
ously ignorant respecting whereof ho
spoke. Tolerance of religious creeds , the .
freedom of religious thought nnd discus
sion , the liberty of the citizen to net
as nil enlightened conscience dictates in nil
religious nnd political matters arc salient
tenets of the populist faith.
However advanced mav bo some of the
political and economic theories held by
prominent members of this new party , %
must bo remembered that therein is a strong
conscrvativo clement representing some Sr
the best thought and intelligence of either
of the old parties , and especially of the re
publican party. The party is iot in its in
ception ; too joung to have crystallized into
a harmonious nnd symmetrical wliolo the
golden grains of truth that it seeks to garner
from every flold. But Father Sherman Is
the first gentleman of character nnd intelli
gence to hold It responsible for the "till/-
znrds of abuse , misrepresentation nnd
malicious calumny" that hnvo been hurled
against his church by the American Protec
tive association , which is c tlio society that
makes "a specialty of attacking Catholics , "
to which ho so scathingly alludes. This
chivalrous young knight of the church may >
ho surprised to learn that it Is nmong
these of tlio populist pnrty that ho
will nnd his most earnest coadjutors
in the crusndo tovhich ho is pledged "to
put the whole orgnnization on the run If it
takes every drop of lifo blood in my
body. "
The father may also bo surprised to learn
that this reprehensible association which hose
so fearlessly nnd Justly denounces Is mi off-
spring of that very republican party toward
hlc'fi he allirms his sympathies lean. Its
secret orgnnUeis and leaders aio all repub
licans. It was used during tlin hist ibm
paign to advance the Interests of thu repub
lican party and its influence has been ibc -
ognircd nt Lincoln in the making of ofllclnl
appointments since the election. There- tire
many lending Catholics in the stnto who I'.ro
fully cognizant how hostile was the populist
party to this baneful , intolerant secret or
ganization during the canrass. They
will not bo less surprised to learn .
of the grave misapprehension enter
tained by this young Lochinvnr of ho
church than wns the writer himself. t a
Catholic nor n professor of any recognized :
religious creed , I bow in reverent admiration
to the sincerity nnd beneficent endeavor of
the Roman Catholic ichurch , Believing in
religious intolcrnnro In its fullest sense inM
cannot but view with most earnest condem :
nation the intolernut bigotry of any relig !
ious sect. I fully agrro with the lecturer
that "tho right of religious liberty is ono i of
the principles that made this glorious na
tion. It is not true Americanism to seek uato
trample upon the glorious rights of our fel (
low citizens. "
Without criticising the taste or the motive
that caused the eloquent young orator to Invidiously
vidiously distinguish the populist political
organization , nnd disclaiming nny suggestion
that this brilliant scion of tlio nation's idol
could do Intentional injustice , may I uot
hope that this communication will induce
him to address himself to an Investigation of
the statements herein contained , with them
expectation that ho will as eloquently com -
mend these who are worthy an ho would ou
demn tue'uiUchlevou * unworthy rs ?
J , II , HOWKLL ,
IMPORTANT PENSION RULING
Secretary Smith Repeals ftn Order Passed by
Ex-Oommisaioncr Raum.
WILL SAVE THE GOVERNMENT MILLIONS
Principle * Involved In th Decision Tlio
Cnio of Ono llcnnctt , on Which It is
llnaoil Opinion ot Wnahluc-
ton OMlclnln.
X , D. C. May 2T. Probably the
most ; important pension decision over sent
from the ofllco of the secretary of the Interior
rloi to the commissioner of pensions , was
filed today. It Is believed by these high in
authority | J | In the pension bureau that It will
reduce the payment of pensions under the
act of Juno 'JT , 1800 , between J15,000,000 nnd
120,000,000.
It Involves the repeal of an order passed
by General Hnuin and approved by Assistant
Secretary Bussey , and u return to the Ian-
gungo of the statute requiring the dis
ability , not of service origin , to bo such as to
prevent the applicant from earning a sup
port by manual labor.
Secretary Hoko Smith has been consider
ing the principles involved in this decision
for several weeks nnd so important did ho
deem it , that when it was called to his at
tention from the pension board of appeals ,
he submitted the question Involved to At
torney General Olnoy nnd Judge Lochren ,
thu commissioner of pensions , both of whom
concurred In the correctness of the decision.
CII.HO ol Una llcnnctt.
The decision is in the case of ono Bennett ,
who sought n pension under the old Inw ,
alleging that while In the service at Halclgh ,
N. C. , ho wns prostrated by sunstroke ,
which resulted In partial deafness
in both cars. His application wns
denied on the gtoutid that while
the applicant has slight deafness ns
alleged , It wns not of sufllcient severity to
warrant any rating. Tlio testimony showed
that Bennett could hear a watch tick nt a
distance of half an Inch from cither car.
Bennett subsequently applied for and re
ceived a pension of $1a month under the
net of June 27,1890. This act allows n pen-
ston ranging from $0 to f 12 per month to
each soldier or sailor suffering from any dis-
nblllty of n permanent character not the re
sult of their own vicious habits which in
capacitates them from the performance of
manual labor in such a degree as to render
them unable to earn a support. Tlie in
ability to earn n support la tiiorcforo made
the basis of the law. During Commissioner
Haum's administration an order wus issued
known as onlcr 104 , which directed that
all claims for a pension under the acts of
Juno 2T , 1800 , should be rated the same as
like disabilities of service origin and that all
cases showing a pensionable disability ,
which , if of service origin , would bo rated at
or above $10 a mouth , should bo rated at $12
a month.
The only requirement to obtain a pension
under the law applicable to pensions of serv
ice origin is disability by reason of wounds
received or disease contracted while in the
service und in line of duty.
Stuiulunl of Itntlng.
"Incapacity to perform manual labor , "
sa the secretary , "which Is the foundation
to the right to pension under the act of Juno
2T , 1SOO , llxes an entirely different standard
of disability from that just mentioned , conce
taincd in the Hevised Statutes , covering in
juries of service origin. Disabilities in
curred while in actual service and incapacity
coining upon applicant long after
service ceases arc made by the
law to stand upon an entirely
different footing. These incurred during
services in line of duty are pensionable with
out regard to capacity to earn a support and
graded without reference to this condition.
Disabilities arising from causes other than
olCl service origin arc only pensionable when
capacity to labor Joins with incapacity to
earn : a support and grades of rating are de
pendent ' upon these two conditions. When
by ; order No. 10-1 it was declared that disa
bilities ! under the act of Juno/2T , 1890 , should
hici rated as of service origin , the very prin
ciple which governed the rating under the
act of Juno 2T , 1890 , was displaced nnd a rule
applicable ] to a different act was substituted.
"This case illustrates tuo effect , of the de
partment by your bureau from the terms of
the act of 1890 First
: , the applicant was
awarded for 'slight deafness , ' not of service
origin , $12. Tlio award was made under the
act of 1890 , which requires the rate for deaf
ness of both ears to bo graded from W to $12.
Tlio highest amount $12 was only to be
allowed in the severest case of deafness. It
was given by your bureau for 'slight deaf
ness' because , under an entirely different
act < , applicable to disabilities of service
origin : alone , $ li ! was the lowest rating for
'slight deafness. '
Chant-oil the I.uw by nu Order.
' 'Second , The inability of the applicant to
perform manual labor was not taken into
consideration. Yet the act of 1S90 , under
which tlie applicant sought and was allowed
a pension , made inability of the applicant to
perform manual labor in such u degree as to
pro rent him from earning a support the
foundation of his claim. It is therefore
clear that the rating under the Hcviscd
Statutes for disabilities of service origin
was substituted by order No. JM ( , for tlio
rating provided under the act of 1890. The
order having resulted In ono error , a second
error naturally followed and the Inability
of the applicant to perform manual labor
was not taken into consideration. In n word ,
the act of June 2T , 1890 , was changed a
superseded by order No. 10-1 as id
by your oftlce , and by n practice that neg
lected to take into consideration the ability
of the applicant'to perform manual labor. " Vy
The decision is signed by John M , Rey
nolds , assistant secretary of the interior. yi
Secretary Smith , In another communica
tion to the commissioner of pensions , says
It is hardly necessary to present argument
or support by authority the proposition that
neither the secretary nor the commissioner
can , by order or practice , supersede an act
of congress , nnd ho therefore directs hereafter -
after the practice of the olllco to conform 0to
the law.

PiTTsncno , Kan , , May 27. Nothing now of
startling report has developed in the miners'
strike. The miners are maintaining the
firm stand taken by them at the beginning
of the trouble nnd the operators are none
the less llnu. It is not likely that the diffi
culty will find any speedy settlement in
arbitration , on the contrary , It is likely the
strike will spread to adjoining states nnd
that 1)0,000 ) miners will bo on n strike in a
brief time.
From all present indications the union
miners in Kansas , Missouri , Colorado , Iowa ,
Arkansas and Indian Territory will bo en
listed in the ranks of the strikers. Tills Is
the program decided upon by the leaders ot
the strikers to enforce their demands nnd
from present indications nothing will nrlso
to prevent it being carried out. In this case
80,000 union minors will bo idle. The plan
contemplates calling out the miners In
northern Kansas.noxt week and In Missouri
tlio week following. Colorado and Iowa will
then bo called upon to lend their aid , and
finally Arkansas and Indian Territory will
bo enlisted in tl\e \ light.
Speaking today of the general impression
that the strike is n fight for recognition of
the union , President Walters said : "No ,
that is a mistaken idea. The only light the
union Is maklng'is ' for the price asked by the
miners , which is tlio same as before , viz :
MJ cents In the summer nnd 7ii cents in
winter , , and if 'the ' operators will pay the
price the union will have nothing more to
say. The miners all understand this , but I
flnd a number of the citizens do not. Tlio
Strip pit men in tlio vicinity of Weir City
agreed with a committee to walkout today.
Tills practically cuts off the Strip pit supply
in Cherokee and Crawford counties. Tlio
small , . raino operators in the town of Clicro-
keo will walk out Monduy.Tho plans hereto
fore mentioned In regard to northern Kan
sas nnd adjoining states will be carried out. "
Yesterday the union miners considered
the question of calling out all the miners in
the smelters , hut to.day they decided that
the injury done , would bo greater than the
be derived hy tlio strikers. Therefore ,
th concluded to allow the smelter miners
to mine sufficient coal to run the smelters , it
being understood that the co.il mines would
bo used for no other purpose.
Labor Commissioner Todd arrived from
Topeka this morning. He siys ho has no
authority to takeiany hand whatever In the
strike , and is hereto gather statistics con

One of'thp , ; largest successes
in the hyr of Flavoring Ex
tracts in-'tfthe world is the
Price Flavoring Extract Com
pany. 'Their ' success is
attribute | /to / the perfection
of Dr. Price's Delicious Flav
oring Extracts. This perfec
tion was' ' made ; possible
through the new processes
discovered by Dr. Price for
extracting from the true fruits
their natural flavoring proper
ties. Any housekeeper that
will use Dr. Price's Orange ,
Lemon , Vanilla , or any other
flavor , will pronounce them
faultless.
The purity of Dr. Price's
Flavors offers the best secur
ity against the dangers which
are common in the use of tha
ordinary flavoring extracts io
