BUFFALO , May 24. The clouds of trouble
whlch'havo hung over thin rlfv for the past
flvo Weeks wcro dispelled today by bright
Bunshlno and brighter hopes lot business
prosperity. The dock laborers , who hnvo
waged an earnest but particularly peaceful
war against their employers , having gained
almost everything they demanded , swarmed
along the docks today looking for work.
The supply was far In excess of the demand
owing to the stagnation of traffic during the
recent strike , but now that the blockade has
been lifted this lack of work will soon dis
appear , and the almost hourly arrival of
grain and package freight-laden vessels at
the port * will surely renew the usual busy
aspect of the shipping and railroad district.
All the troubles of the strikers have been
obliterated under most stringent and bind
ing agreements and with-tho exception of the
abrogation ot the contract system they have
been'granted every demand they made. All
along the line of docks from tbo Export to
the Raymond elevators there gathered a
crowd , .all anxious to work , and as1 many of
them as could bo accommodated were Im
mediately p'laced. There was no friction be
tween the new bosses and the applicants , and
those hest qualified to pass upon the situa
tion say that under the new agreement there
will bo very little chance of any further
trouble. Grain scoopers , freight handlers ,
ore and coal shovolors all agreed last , night

yesterday that came very nearly canting
an alteration In his cofor , as to was HO
frightened. While every one' was absent
at dinner Gabe took a notion that ho would
catch a few of the pigeons which l.ifpst the
jail. He took a long utopli'ldor ' and placed
It beneath the trap door leading to the roof
nd ascended , After having < wntched for tin
little offenders nwlillo he became weailed
and concluded to descend and take his
post-prandial nap. The ladder had disap
peared In some mysterious mutier. : : No
one was In sight to replace It and the drop
meant a hard Jolt , as ho would have to Jump
thirty feet. He called for asjlstan : . ) , but
the echo was an the .tnswir he rerelvid ,
Disgusted and somewhat frlgMennl ia , he
anticipated 'an afternoon on , ( I'D roof he. ijot
up and danced around Jlko 1 whl-lli3 der

tion of passing pedestrians. If he had had
his horn the world would have ended , as
Gabriel would certainly have tooted It , At
first no one did any more than to look In
his direction and wonder what thouvlld nn-
tlca meant. He acted Jlko a crazy man to
those who did not know what was the
trouble. At last bo , made DUO understand
t'int he wanted to get down. The laldcr was
found and replaced BO bo could nituru 10
his customary occupation. Fortunately for

Nobody had nny fault to find with these
words.
"I want to ask a question , " sold Dr.
George W. P. Birch , the "Heresy Hunter , "
while Judge Wlllson was talking about the
work of the Publication and Sabbath School
boards. Dr. Birch said ho had scon In n
publishing house , ttie other day a book
which declared "Dnniel is countersigned by
our Lord Jesus Christ to bo n fable. " Dr.
Birch wanted no such books from the board.
Judge Wlllson ncsurcd him that ho would
not get nny.
1'rolltN nt IMihllnhlitK llonril ,
This board had the right of way this aft
ernoon. Rev. Dr. 'Meldrum of St. Paul ,
chairman of the standing committee on the
board's affairs , made a highly eulogistic re
port , In which ho called attention to many
statistics previously given In the board's
report. During the year books to n value
of $127,637.38 had been sold and $228 , 750.51
had been realized from periodicals. The net
profits wcro 119,175.80 , of which two-thirds
had been placed to the credit of the Sab
bath school department.
"So far as possible , " recommends the re
port of the committee , "Presbyterian money
should be spent for the spreading of the
distinctly Presbyterian gcepel. This policy
Is In no wise Inconsistent with the truest
and most generous catholicity. "
The twentieth century movement , which
contemplates signalizing the progress of the
now century with the addition ot 500,000
children to the Sabbath schools , was ap
proved. Dr. E. R. Craven , secretory , made
an appeal to the assembly for help.
Rov. W. H. Hubbard , Auburn , N. Y. ,
auditor of the old Assembly Herald , which
was put to death iby decree of the assem
bly on December 31 , raado his final report on
that uubllcatlon , showing that It has ceased
to exist with a balance on the right eide.
After the report Dr. Hubbard , who feels
somewhat aggrieved because the consolida
tion of the Assembly Herald and the
Church , at Homo and Abroad was not given
Into his management , followed his report
with a speech.
Then Dr. Knox of a special coinmltteo that
had 'been ' running the new Assembly Herald ,
presented his report and recommended that
the periodical .be . managed hereafter by a
committee of three , ono member to be ap
pointed by the foreign mission board , an
other by the homo missions and the third
by the six other 'boards. '
In recognition of Dr. 'Hubbnrd's faithful
services the 'balance ' was voted to him. But
then Dr. Knox made a speech , in which he
compared the old and new Hernlds In a
way which did not please Dr. Hubbard.
CIiiKli IN Podtiioned.
The latter begged the assembly for a
chance to reply nnd the committee Insisted
that It must have a chance to answer. The
prospect promised a lively controversy , but
It was postponed until tomorrow. The de
velopments showed that n strong element
wants the Board of Publication to take
charge of the official organ , and that board
Is averse to taking the Incubus ,
The committee on bills and overtures
asked that it bo permitted to report the
McGlffert case nt 2 o'clock tomorrow aftcr-
aoon , Instead of 10 n. m. , the time previously
ftxed. That Is supposed to mean that the
committee Is still wrestling with the case
that the extremists are labqrlng to have
Irastlc action taken with the professor who
Iocs not believe that the sacrament or the
Lord's supper is ot divine institution.
The Judiciary committee made the follow
ing reports : Appeal of Rev. James II. Balrd
from synod of Pennsylvania , not sustained ;
: rlal of the complaint of Rov. Charles A.
Taylor ngalnst the Illinois synod ordered ;
jppeal of J. Scott Woods of the synod of
Nebraska dismissed.

: ertalnty as to the future required the re-
itrlctlon of the grants to the smallest pos-

oan , making a total of $36,150. The loans
ire made by the committee on finance. All

m property In Plttsburg nnd vicinity. The
