the Cork advisory committee at Ha last
myelins;. He said that they had to battle
their way through many dlscoursgemmts
without any national fund at their back.
Hat the fart remained that the Cork ad
visory committee was the only body In the
country that had exercised any real or
sanitary, Influence upon the working of tho
purchase act, and he thought the country
waa now beginning to realize all that might
have been effected If they had. In every
county In Ireland established a body auch
aa that of men of reasonableness, of fair
ness, of Indisputable representative weight,
and ' If they had the whole organised
strength of the league at their back, and
'If they also had at their back the enor
mous funds which had been lavished for
the last few years on purposes, ha waa
afraid, lens beneficial to the farmers and
laborers of Ireland. He looked with a
good deal of interest for the speech made
recently- by Mr, Itedmond at Kllteely, and
he confessed he read It with considerable
disappointment. He had hoped that a man
of Mr. Redmond great position aa leader
of the Irish party would have recognised
frankly the grave position In which that
paity found itself, owing not to any ac
tion of ills (Mr. O'Brien's), but to Its own
Inaction, not to use any stronger expres
sion., and would have plaoed before the
country some broad and statesmanlike pro
posal to bring Irishmen together and find
some remedy for a state of things which,
as every man In the country knew, had re
duced the movement here at home and In
Parliament to ah unreal shadow. There
was nothing but the same vague old mean
tngless parrot cry about unity, without
any reference to what they were to be
untied about, and without any reference to
the fact that he had a completely united
country and a completely united party In
the hollow of his hand for the last three
years, with no other resui". but the state

Asked .how he accounted for the falling
ft In the, rearing of pigs In the country,
considering that the last potato harvest
had been a tolerably good one, one of the
leading dealera replied that he believed
It was owing to the large importa of
American flour, which, In contradistinction
to Irish milled flour, left no offal for pig
feeding. ' ,The price of Irish bacon at
present waa 1 abllllnga per hundred leaa

acta forth that: "Several bodlea of ten

sporting rights on their farms applied to
our committee for guidance as to how

CONSTANTINOPLE. May 2,-(8peclal
Cablegram to The Bee.) Interviewed upon
the subject of the floating Dewey dock In
the Sue canal, Thomas Sutherland, the
well known expert, this week said:
I think It U worthy of note that a
somewhat remarkable operation has been
accomplished by the Sues Canal company's
service In passing the Dewey, a floatlnr

coniDlished Its long Journey. But the
transit through the Sues canal was viewed
with some natural anxiety, on account of
the peculiar dimensions, especially In beam
depth. These dimensions are: Length, 600
feet; beam, 154 feet; depth, nearly SO feet,
the lifting power of the dock being 16,000
tons. As the draft of water on the dock
was at the same time only eight feet., the
difficulty of towing a huge body of this
construction through a narrow channel

was sufficiently obvious ana tne iiaDiiuy io

canal waa equally apparent. But by ex-
cavatlng two additional gares, or sidings,
and taking advantage of the room avail-
able at Tlmsah and at both ends of the
Bitter lakes, the canal officials succeeded
In getting this awkward craft through
from Port Ssld to Sues within four days,
notwithstanding that bad weather was ex-
pertenced during part of the time, and. I
happily, without any perceptible Interfer-

would be attained:
By reducing the Isrge number ot small

By providing vans In large towns lor

By reaular Derlodlcal exercise of the men
In slmpie drill formation, which should be
uniformly tne same lor an torces, so tnai
they may he able to act together In order
when massed or when in conjunction with
another force.
By holdina Derlodlcal examinations of th
men as to their knowledge of police duties.
By havlna detective officers in most
forces for criminal work, and abolishing
the practice where It still exists of sherlix
officers taking charge of criminal cases.
By naving a reserve in proportion 10
the strength, to provide men In some de
gree trained to till vacancies; to provide
for sickness and leave of absence; and to
reduce th too long hours of day and night
duties In towns.
By providing bicycles where they are
found of service. This mode of traveling
enables constables to visit their Dents
oftener and to be visited themselves more
frequently by their superior officers.

The practice of permitting Junior officers

some energy, the situation Is not past

LABORING MENJN COMMONS

GLASGOW, May M. (Special Cablegram
to The Bee.) At the Scottish trade unions'
congress at Greenock, over which Bailie
Johnston has been presiding. Will Crooks,
M. P., delivered the principal address.
- He said they, as trade unionists, were
getting ahead In a way little dreamed ot
some ten or fifteen years ago. In the old
days It was considered the proper thing
when attending a meeting to down, tha
neighbor from whom they disagreed on
every possible occasion. That waa not so
nowadsys, and it was a source of surprise
to the Intellectuals In the house when
they saw the labor man quietly listening
while they were being o posed In the parlla
mentay sense. But they were surprised
occasionally to And thai the laborlsts could
hit as bard and say things aa astonishing
aa the Intellectuals aforesaid. Trey knew
more about many of the questions than did
those who attempted to explain them. One
university member of Parliament, indeed,
had remarked that he had been struck by
the fine grip of matters, national and In
ternatlonal, possessed by members ot the
labor party. They had acquired their
knowledge In a hard school. Year by year
they were developing a capacity for ad
ministration certainly not equalled by any
other clasa in the kingdom. In the work
before them they wanted unity and the
best of men. If the kingdom was to be
made worth living for the toilers.

QUESTION OF COLOR LINE COMES UP
1
Proposition to Create New Synod
from Negro Presbyteries Goes
Over After Extended
Debate.
DBS MOINES, la., May 2.-The 111th
Presbyterian general assembly concluded
Its business late this afternoon and ad
journed to meet next year at Columbus,
O. The assembly Is considered to hsve
been the most Important In the history of
the church because ot the completion of the
union with the Cumberland church. The
solemn declaration of the consummation
of tha union by the moderator and the
appearance of delegates from the Cumber
land assembly were Incidents that will
be remembered long by the men who came
from all parts of the world to advance
the cause of Christianity.
The declaration ot the assembly In favor
of church federation is also considered
an Important step and It Is expected that It
will be followed by slmllaratlon on the
uart of other churches. The movement
for union and federation Is believed by
church leaders to be in full swing and
they predict the early union of all Presby
terian churches In th United States.
New Statement of Doctrine.
The closing sessions were enlivened by
reveral acrimonious debates, one of which
came when Rev. Dr. J. D. Moffatt offered
resolutions Intended to conciliate objectors
to the recent union. Dr.- William Lowrle
of Bellefont, Pa., objected to statements
that the syods and Presbyterians of the
Cumberland church had been added to the
rolls of tha Presbyterian church in the
United States of America, because he said
a large number of Cumberland ministers
are said to be in session In St. Louis
planning to continue the Cumberland
church. Dr. Moffatt flashed back that tha
union Is a fact. The resolutions were then
adopted. They set forth that for , fear
some Cumberland Presbyterians may be
reluctant to acquiesce In the union because
of certain misapprehensions . which should
be removed the following declarations are
solemnly made:
First That In the Presbyterian church no
acceptance nf doctrine la required beyonil a
personal faith in. Jesus Christ as the Son
of God and Savior of the world, and sincere
acceptance of Him as Lord and Master.
second That ministers, ruling elders and
deacons In expressing approval ot ths West
minster coniession or taitn are required to
assent only to the syetum 'of dootrine es
tablished therein and not to every uertlcu-
Kr statement. It is further declared no
longer allowable to Interpret the system- of
doctrine In any fatllstlc sense.
Third That reunion works no change In
the relations of communicants, ruling eld
ers and deacons to their own particular
churches, nor, except in a rew instances, in
their selections to their presbyteries and
synods. The hope Is also expressed that all
may see, that greater efuclency in ;n
church may . be achieved by ths union.
O,nesrloa of Color Lino Cornea l'p.
The color line was aherply drawn and the
negro question came squarely to the surface
In the Presbyterian assembly for the first
time today. The committee on church policy
submitted a report recommending the erec
tion of a synod In Alabama to Include the
presbyteries of Birmingham, Leevere and
Rogeraville, to be known as the Synod of
Chattanooga. The presbyteries In the synod
are French Brood, Holston, Klnston and
Union. The presbyteries of Birmingham.
Leevere and Rogeraville are composed of
negro churches. The others are composed of
white churches.
Woold Divide Races.
The purpose of ths committee was to
divide the races. No sooner had the
report been submitted when Russell Tay
lor, a negro minister of Leevere and one
of the commissioners of the assembly
from that Presbytery, took ths floor. He
violently opposed tha proposed synod on
the ground that the three presbyteries
specified were not numerically strong
enough or well enough versed in church
law to assume the functions and duty of
a synod.
Members of the committee spoke for
the erection of the synod, cs re fully avoid
ing the race question and emphasizing
the claim that each of th three presby
teries had asked such action. After
spirited discussion, in which the colored
commissioner received the majority of
th applause It was unanimously voted
to refer the whole subject to . the as
sembly of 1907.

Dr. William Laurie, one cf the Presby

ST. PETERSBURG. May 21-The lower
house, with only seven dissentients, voted
the order of the day, demanding the res
ignation of the ministry and Its replace
ment bv a cabinet composed of members
chosen from those enjoying the confidence
ot the majority of the lower House of
Parliament.
ST. PETERSBURG, May 26. Before a
bouse more crowded than on the opening
day, with every member in his seat and
the press and public galleries crowded.
Premier Ooremykln this , afternoon read
to the lower house of - Parliament the ex
pected declaration of the government's
policy pronouncing the Imperial negatlvo
on the most cherished hopes and plans of
the people's representatives. In the Im
perial box eat Grand Duke Nicholas Nik
olalevich, following the proceedings with
the keenest Interest. There was scarcely
standing room In the section assigned
to members of the upper house and th
premier and the entire cabinet, with the
exception of Vic Admiral Blrileff. min
ister of marine, and Lieutenant General
Rudlger, minister of war, occupied seats
on the ministerial benches.
The scene before the opening was one
of great but suppressed excitement. All
present were awar that the reapons
would utterly fall to meet the wishes of
the lower house and a hum of eager dis
cussion aa to the effect of tbe resolutions
expressing lack of confidence In th gov
ernment, which the constitutional demo
crats and the labor party had drafted In
advance, filled the hall and corridors.
Goromykln In Tribune.
Tbe tinkle of President Mourmetseff a
bell calling the session to order stilled
the . house, whereupon, without waiting
for further preliminaries. Premier Oore
mykln mounted to the tribune and began
reading th governmental declarations.
He evidently was not used to public
speeohes, as he labored under a consid
erable strain and spok In- a low, weak
voice which at times, though deathlike
silence prevailed, failed, to reach the rear
of the great' hall except aa an indistinct
muttering.- The reading, which was aa
rapid as If the premier had been " in a
hurry to get through with a disagreeable
task, laated - eighteen minutes and waa
Interrupted only by pauses to swallow
several glaaaea of water. Tha members
In the meanwhile sat stolidly silent and
when' the premier had finished and bowed
to the assembly not a murmur of approval
was heard through the house, where tha
pages Immediately began to distribute
printed copies of the speech. ,
Statement of Promter.
The premier's statement was as fol
lows: " The ' government, after examining th
address of the lower house of Parliament
In accordance with the Instructions of th
emperor, Is fully prepared to lend its
entire support to the elaboration of the
questions suggested by the lower house
Insofar as they do not go beyond limits
of the legislative Inlatltlvea assigned to
the . lower house. This support the gov
ernment will alio extend to the amend
ment of the franchise law, although It is
of the opinion that this question should
not be made the subject of Immediate
discussion, inasmuch as the lower house
Is only Just entering upon Its labors and
therefore Is not yet in a position to ascer
tain the need of such a change.
rlpeclal caution must he shown by th
council of ministers In regard to ths reg
ulations recommended by ths lower house
of satisfying, without delay, the needs
of the rural population and placing th
peasants on s rooting of equality with
the other classes, of satisfying the re-
?ulrements of the working people, of
rsmlng a measure providing tor obliga
tory elementary education, of making the
wealthiest classes liable to the payment
of taxes, of reorganizing the provincial
administration and of introducing a sys
tem of self-government with special con
sideration for the peculiar conditions 0
tha frontier provinces.
As to Liberty.
The council of ministers attaches no
less Importance to the suggested law re
lating to the liberty of the subject, of
Sonsclence and of the press and to free
om" of meeting and association. Never
theless it considers It neoessary in pre
paring such laws to provide the admin
istration with such effective means as to
enable th government to prevent or
counteract any abuae of the liberties conceded.-
1
With reference to the solution of tho
agrarian question by the transfer of the
crown appanages and monastery and
church lands, and by the forcible ex
propriation of private landed property
which Includes the private property of
peasants, the council of ministers holds It
to be Its duty to declare that such a
method is wholly Inadmissible. The gov.
ernmont cannot deprive one party of Its
possessions In order to bestow them upon
another. To contest th right of th private
posM-sslon of land would In fact be to
contest the right to poaaesa any private
property at all. Throughout the world
and In all gradea of the development of
civil life the Inviolability of property
conatltutea the cornerstone of the welfare
of the people and tne fundamental basis
of the life of the state. The resources still
at the dlspossl of the state and the wide
application of legal methods will doubtless
neip to nna a successtui solution or tne
agrarian quratlon without undermining ths
powera of the fatherland.
No Other Polata.
The other lawe referred to by the lower
house touch on the responsibility of the
ministers and the abolition nf the upper
house. The council of ministers does not
feel Itself Jusilllcd In entertaining these
propsals as they Involve radical alterations
of the fundamental law and conditions
which are beyond the province of the lower
house. .
Finally, as regards the solicitude of ths
lower house to secure Justice and right In
the army and navy, the government de
clares that in the army these principles are
already unshakeably established and that
the solicitude ot its Illustrious head Is
now directed to the Improvement of the
material . position of the soldiers and to
devising means for a more extensive
realisation of the measures dlrecUa to
that end.
As regards the proposed abolition of the
exchange laws and the arbitrary acts of
officials the com.rll of ministers considers
this wholly within the domain of pitolU:
administration which the lower house has
Only the right of interpretation. Further
more the ror-soltdatlon of the administra
tion Into a state of strict legality forms
the subject of special rare 011 the part of
the government which will not fall to see
that the conduct of government officials Is
limolred by similar endeavors
The government also recognises t'lat th
present exceptional lawe do not autlUe la
