May 27.-Rpld progress was mad by th Presbyterian general assembly In the disposition of re ports of special committees and standing boards. Buffalo waa selected as the next place of meeting, and the way waa cleared for the hearing of th most Important ub Ject that ar on the program, namely, the report on th revision of faith, divorce and remarriage, and the consideration of the Tennessee overture on the question of separate presbyteries for colored people. Those three reports hav been et for hear ing tomorrow and the day promises to be the biggest day of the present assembly. Many speeches were mad today, th most remarkable of which was the eloquent pica of Rev. A. W. Halsey, secretary of the board of foreign missions. The entire morning session Was taken up in discussion of this report. Bar Richter from Chnreh. The assembly finally disposed of the cas of Rev. Louis Richter of the synod of Min nesota. This case had caused much interest In Presbyterian circles. Rev. Mr. Richter was charged with having acted as agent for breweries in th distribution of litera ture and was suspended by his synod and forbidden the practice of clerical duties. It was further charged that he sought aid from saloon men and breweries In the rais ing of a fund to prosecute his case before the assembly. The committee on Judiciary reported adversely on the case and th assembly unanimously approved, the com mittee's decision. The committee on mileage cut down the expense accounts of many commissioners because the total appropriation of $75,000 'or this purpose had been exceeded by the mm of $3,000. Th report caused a flurry among the commissioners. A -committee of seven wa appointed to consider the subject of the relation of the Presbyterian church to other churches In matters of "co-operation, federation and consolidation." The committee was In structed to open correspondence with othor Christian churches for the further ance of these objects. Rev. Dr. Robert F. Coyle, moderator, wa made chairman of the committee. The larger part of the afternoon session was given over to consideration of the report of the board of publication and Sunday school work and xtenslv speeches thereon. An Important change In the organisation of the board was effected by the adoption of a brief recommendation in the report of the standing committee on publication and Sabbath school work. This was to the effect that the board of pub lication and Sabbath school work be au thorized to reorganise itself and report to the next assembly. Though this clause waa passed without comment this after noon the result will be the complete sep aration of the Sabbath school department from that of publication. EnlOKy for Dr. Horton. Tha recommendation of the standing committee a read by Rev. Dr. Stanley, chairman of the committee, Included an eloquent eulogy of the - late - Francla H. Horton, D. D., of, Philadelphia, who wa trlcken while preaching in his church ome week ago. After the resolution was referred the assembly stood while prayer was offered by Rev. Stanley. Another recommendation provided for the printing In future edlt'on of a brief statement ot Articles of faith. The report as a whole wa adopted. Buffalo wa chosen as the next place ot meeting without a word of comment from the floor and without discussion. Rev. W. H. Robert, chairman of the committee on mission work among the Hungarians and other Immigrants, pre sented th report of that committee, which wa adopted without dissent. Rev. J. K. Fletcher delivered an eloquent appeal for the continuance and develop ment of the missionary movement among the Magyar of Pennsylvania. W. H. Rob erta of the committee of the Twentieth Century fund, announced the accomplish ment of the committee during the past year. Before adjournment the assembly ap proved the action of the -ynod of Missouri in refusing to enforce the recommenda tions censuring Rev. Semple of that state for aVrellctlon of duty, thus reinstating the latter Into good standing. V The assembly then adjourned to meet tomorrow morning at o'clock. .Tonight two meeting wer held In th interest ot foreign missions.

In speaking of the decision of the general assembly tn session at Los Angeles tn excommunicat ing. Rev. Louis Richter of this city, Rev. Rltcher said in an interview: "I am not surprised at the decision ot the assembly In excommunicating me. The decision cannot harm me. I am 73 year of age, too old to fill a pulpit, and they can deprive me of nothing. I still main tain that I am a minister of the Lord Jesus Christ, and regard myself In every way veated with power to perform any ordinary function a a minister, such as I might be called upon to administer. Th church law Is not the highest law. Thsre still remain the civil law, and I am ad vised that T cannot be divested of my profession even by the general assembly. except Insofar as It is In keeping with th civil law of th land. I hav not yet don with th matter and shall atlll be heard from in the future, the Lord willing." ANOTHER STRIKE IN SIGHT Troakle Between Freight Handlers lalon and Railroads la Ckl eago Look Sertoa. CHICAGO, May 27.-Presldent Lawrence J. Outran of the freight handlers' union charge that the railroad companies ar trying th precipitate Individual strikes In their respective freight house with a view of disorganising th union. Ha declare emphatically that if they succeed at any one point he will call a general strike of his 10,000 men within an hour. Official of the railroad companies deny absolutely that there I any such plan on their part, and say that If there must be trouble at all they much prefer that th strlk be general and not confined to a freight house here and there. Considerable color, however, Is lent te the charge of President Curran by ths fact that President Harper of the Univer sity of Chicago was appealed to by a rep resentative of one of the roads to furnish a number of student to be used aa strike breakers. Evidence of an attempt on the part of labor organization to break up assort tton of employer became apparent to night when the freight handler and the waiter' union . neat on record a being opposed to treating with employers' asso ciations and ss favoring a plan to refuse recognition to employers except ss In dividuals. ST. I-OUIS, May !7.-An agreement was reached with' the striking freight handlers and warehouse men at Cupples Station today and Wi-rk will be resumed at onoe. The railway freight handlers who want out In sympathy will also resume work. Th sgreement wa signed by officer of the union and a commute representing the employers. It Is now believed that the freight hand lers who today went out In St. Louis on a sympathy strike will at one resume work. PLEAD THE CAUSE OF PEACE Conference on International Arbitra tion Bea-aa at Lake Mofeoak. LAKE MOHONK. N. T., May 27.-The Lake Mohonk conference on International arbitration waa begun here today. The genera topic of the first session was tht preset!? outlook for arbitration. The open ing address was made by John W. Foster, formerly secretary of State. He saM: We assemble today for the ninth annual conference of the friends of International arbitration under most encouraging aus pices. Very significant events hsve taken place since we separated at thia beautiful spot one year ago and these events have tended In the direction of universal oence and have greatly strengthened the cause of arimrauon. Probably the most edifying snd auspic ious event has occurred in a quarter of the world to which Anglo-Saxons have not been Inclined to look for helpful examples in food government and salutary public law. n the extreme of the South American con tinent there have arisen Into prominence during the last century two prosperous and aspiring republics. As a rule they have sustained good administrations, maintained excellent foreign credit and have greatly advanced in wealth and resource. For a time they arrayed themselves In a rivalry for supremacy on that continent and fol lowing the example of the greater nations they largely Increased their armies and navies. A controversy over a boundary line threatened to light the torch of war and thrust these two peaceful, prosperous and Industrious peoples into a sanguinary and exhausting conflict. But belter coun sels prevailed and Chile and Argentine agreed to submit the boundary question to the arbitration of the king of England. His award has been rendered and accepted by both nations. But that is only the beginning of the narrative. The two nations have entered Into a treaty whereby they agree to sub mit all questions which cannot be settled by diplomacy to srbitratlon. the onlv ex ception being those Involving principles of their constiutions. They further agreed to stop the construction of more naval ves sels and. to sell those which were ordered at the time the war fever was -.-aging, and as a result there are now in the navnl dockyards of Europe several war vessels of the two nations seeking customers. They also agreed to reduce their armiea to a peace footing snd to so maintain them and to practically disarm their naval ves sels at home As a result of this disarmament, we are Informed by recent press news from Buenos Ay res that the minister of marine haa tendered to the minister of agriculture two of his unoccupied men-of-war to transport grain and meat products to South Africa, where the government Is seeking to open up a new market for their superabundant harvests. Some notice must be taken of the Vene suelan complication, for in It there may bo found edification for this conference. Three of the most powerful nation of the world combined in a hostile demonstration against one of the feeblest of the smaller nations. The point which I wish to em phasise Is that the -public sentiment of the world and especially of the British people brought those three powerful na tions to a halt. It Is encouraging to know that In this era It Is not so easy to Inaugu rate or prosecute an unjust war as it was a century or more ago. The Venesuela embrogllo has also served to bring into prominence the value of ar bitration and the utility of The Hague tribunal. It was a high compliment to President Roosevelt to be solicited to act as arbitrator of that dispute. But it en hanced h reputation still more to de cline the offer, and to refer the contend ing parties to the tribunal wh,lch his own' government has done, so mt-.ch, to create. Not the least of the events of the past' yesr tending to peace is the treaty be tween the governments of the united States and Oreat Britain to refer the con troverted question of the Alaskan bound ary to a mixed tribunal of American and British jurists. It is not sn arbitration, and. from the alate of the question snd or public sentiment in the United States. If could not well be such. Tt is an Illustration of the fact that even so excellent a prin ciple aa arbitration has Its limitations In practice. It was not possible to have se cured a treaty to entrust, the settlement Of the Alaskan boundary to the award of a neutral foreign armtraior. Should It have the greatly to be de sired outcome, it cannot fall to increase the prospects or a paramount arDiiraiion treaty between the United States ana .r..t Ttritnln It will be remembered that six years ago Secretary Olney and Lord faunceroie Slgnea a Sfncrai ai uurauun convention to continue for five years only. but it failed to receive tne approval oi the senate largely because of this bound ary dispute The Alaskan boundary treaty, approved by the senate last Feo ruary, is the method of settlement pro vided In tne uiney-i-aunceioie i-unvtnwun. If It shall prove effective we may have renewed hope of seeing at no distant day a general arbitration treaty between these two kindred peoples, who nave a comman heritage and a common mission In the world. It must not be that the twin Latin republics or Bouin . America snaii pui us to very shame, when we are claiming to hold aloft aj a model for all peoples our much-vaunted Anglo-Saxon Christian civ ilization. One of the chief objects of the present conference is to influence public opinion In favor of arbitration, and I trust that one of the subjects to be dis cussed will be the best method of creat ing a growing and widespread sentiment throughout the country In support of this beneficent measure. Let . ua con centrate our efforts in ravor oi a general arbitration treaty oeiween tne American and British governments on the lines of the unratinea convention or ie, Tn thim And mihllc. sentiment should be brought to bear upon the senate of the United States. That distinguished body is a fair representation of the American peo ple, anO Wnen me limr nail riim themselves ss favorable to such a treaty, the senate will ratify their verdict. Let us concentrate our efforts to bring about that greatly-desired result. The attendance was neany memDera, the largest In the' history of Mohonk meet ings. The following officers were elected: President, John W. Foster; secretaries, Clinton Rogers Woodruff and H. C. Phil- Hps; treasurer. Alexander C. Wood; Chairman of buaineas committee, jonn Corby Brown; chairman of finance com mittee. John B. Garrett; chairman of pub lication committee. Dr. Benjamin F. True- blood.
