EXISTENCE OF AN ANARCHIST
C ONSPIRACY THOUGHT TO

Madrid, May 19. The police here are
extremely reticent regarding the d's
covery of an anarchist plot to kill the
young king. Several of the papers now
question whether the arrested men
really entertained the intention attribu

ities on learning of the purchase of dy-
inamitej ordered inquiries made concern

of the conspiracy is thus thought to
have been confirmed. Nevertheless the

PRESBYTERIAN ASSEMBLY
Jackson, Miss., May 19. The fourth
day of the general assembly of. the
Presbyterian church in the United
States was called to order by Mod
erator Hall. Prayer was offered by
Dr. Robson, of South Carolina. Several
overtures Vwere presented on the sub
ject of graded lessons. The report crt
the trustees of the Presbyterian college
at Durant, I. T., showed a promising
future for the institution, but the im
mediate need of funds for the equip
ment of new buildings was pressing.
Among the more important' overtures
filed with the secretary was one favor
ing a new catechism. This comes from
a dozen different synods and was
championed by Dr. Hemphill, of Louis
ville. Dr. Walden opposed the charge
and moved that the question of the
new catechism be dismissed from
future consideration.
Tomorrow Dr. Z. B. Graves, of Louis
iana, will appear before the assembly
on appeal. He was suspended and his
licenses taken away by the Louisiana
synod on numerous comaplaints.
