The Liberals Will Have Minor Repre sentation on all the Committees but Their Influence Will not be Felt Be yond the Committee Room--Resolu tion in Regard to Seminary Control Made the Special Order for To-day- Lane Theological Seminary. Pittsburg, Pa., May 17. I a prepa ration for to-day’s session of the Presby terian General Assembly the moderator's council continued in session at the Mo nongahela House until long after mid night. Ex Governor Beaver was selected as vice-moderator, the last man in the church who would open his heart to a Liberal. In all ommittees the Liberals will be represented but this representa tion will be a minority so small that their influence will not be felt beyond the committee room. Dr. Mulchmore, the retiring moderator, becomes chair man of the committee on bills and over tures. By custom director Page, one of the unsuccessful candidates for moderator, becomes chairman of the judicial com mittee. Dr. Frank Montfort, of Cincinnati, is named as chairman of the Theological Seminary Committee. Dr. George Norcross. of Carlisle, Pa., and Rev. George W. Ch&lfant, of Pitts burg, respectively, will head the Home and Foreign Missionary committees. Elder James Yereance, of New York, is chairman of the Finance Committee. Dr. R. N. Adams, of Minneapolis, the third man in the race for moderator, is chairman of the committee on church polity. Elder E. E White, of Columbus, Ohio", holds the educational committee before which questions relating to Semi nary students, may come. He is a noted Liberal, but he and Dr. Booth have long been warm personal friends. The business session of the morning was opened promptly at 10 o'clock. Chairman McEvan, of the entertain ment committee, formally welcomed the assembly to Pittsburg and presented to the Moderator a gavel made of woods from Jerusalem. Dr. Booth responded in a brief speech The important committees were then announced, the chairmen being as above. The resolutions proposed by the special committee on Seminary Control made the following recommendations and were read by Chairman Young: “First, that it is the sense of this as sembly that the assembly of 1894 did not intend to prepare the way for any change in the tenure or management of the property of seminaries and that the said recommendation were intended to have the meaning and effect as recited in this committee report. This Assembly in re-affirming the resolution of the As sembly of 1894, does so with the avowed purpose of leaving the tenure and title to all property of the seminaries exactly where they are now, in the hands of the various boards of trustees and with the further purpose of securing the vote power to the Assembly as an effective force by Charter provision and of safe guarding by Charter declaration, the trusts held and to be held by boards of trustees against perversion or misuse. “Second, that this General Assembly reaffirms the action of the Assembly of 1891, and in view of the progress made, and the importance of the interests in volved. declares that in its judgment the effort should be continued to secure the adoption, in substance, of the Assembly’s plan by all the seminaries. “Third, that a committee be appointed to have further charge of this matter, and to make report to the next General Assembly. The committee further recommends the Assembly to reply to Princeton’s of fer, that while respecting the judgment of the boards and not prepared to say that it is incorrect, the Assembly is of the opinion that in order to put the mat ter beyond all possiole question, it would be well for the boards to do what they express their willingness to do, viz: To endeavor to secure such action as will insure to the General Assembly tne right to be represented in the courts, and to enforce its proper control over the semi nary and its property. These resolutions were made the spe cial order for 3:80 o'clock to-day. Dr. Cunningham then read the report of the special committee on Lane Theological Seminary, Cincinnati. The committee recommended that the Assembly continue its encouragement and fostering of Lane bill in its efforts to re-establish and re organize the sem inary. The report was approved and the committee was continued, The Sabbath observance committee presented its report, which was adopted It embodies resolutions to the effect that this General Assembly expresses its pro found sense of the importance of increas ing scriptural precepts in reference to the Sabbath in the home, Suuday school and in all young people’s associations; that it deprecates the growing tendency in many places to make the Lord’s Day a day of worldly entertainments, social visitations and personal self indul gence; particularly enjoins upon the members of the church to see to it that they do nothing by example to increase the frightful desecration of the Lord’s Day, and warns the ministers and mem bers of the church against the evil and insidious influence of the Sunday news* papers' and urges them by work and action to do all they can to decrease their unwholesome power. The report on the Assembly Herald showed a profit for the first year with a subscription price of 10 cents a )ear, of nearly eight thousand dollars. Dr. Young, of Kentucky, opened the debate promptly at 3:10 o'clock on the subject of seminary control. Elder E. E. White, of Columbus, led the attack upon the committee’s report. The hour for adjournment having been reached, the question of Seminary control was set down for 3:30 o’clock to morrow morning. The Assembly then adjourned.

Steakley tried at Cleveland, Tenn., for murder, May, 1894, of Dr. A. P. Griffith. The crime excited national concern, as it was the outgrowth of the Cleveland convention to nominate a man to make the Democratic race for Con gress, and occurred on a railway train crowded with returning delegates. The convention was a memorable one because of a deadlock and bitter charges. Steakley and his victim supported op posing candidates. Incendiary remarks attributed to ex Congressman Snodgrass contributed to his defeat. Snodgrass was counsel for Steakley. TRUCK AND FRUIT INJURED.

SUN’S COTTON REPORT. A Smaller Crop Expected and Bullish Sentiment Spreading. New York, May 17. —Cotton rose 15 to 17 points, the cew crop months show ing the most strength. The close was strong after sales of 213,400 bales. New Orleans advanced 14 to 16 points. Liver pool was 1-16 d higher on the spot and 2 1-2 points higher for future delivery, closing very steady with spot sales of 10,000 bales. The Manchester Press dispatch re ported prices firm with an improved de mand. A cotton exchange dispatch re ported yarns higher, a fact which checked business, and added that cloths were dull. The signal service predicted gen erally warmer and fair weather in the cotton belt, with occasional showers. Brennan, Texas, reported one inch of rain, Hearne half an inch, LoDg View 1.41, and other points in Texas a mod erate precipitation. Elsewhere in the cotton belt the rainfall was generally light. New York and Norfolk advanced 1-16 eent; New Orleans and Charleston were 1 8 cent higher. The sales at New Or leans were 3,000 bales, and at New York 314. The New Orleans receipts are esti mated at 2,000, against 2,239 last Sat urday and 1,000 last year. To-day's Features. Alpiost all the news was bullish. Liverpool was higher, Manchester was stronger, the Southern markets were ris ing, a reported decrease in the Texas acreage of 15 per cent attracted consid erable notice, and Wall street houses were buying. • The market sympathized with the stronger tone at the stock ex change, the produce exchange, the Chi cago board of trade, and the better state of affairs in iron trade. A smaller crop is expected, the specu lation is increasing, the friends of cot ton are growing more numerous and the bullish sentiment is spreading every where. The advance to day was sharp, but many think it is only a forecast of what is coming. Twenty Thousand Miners to Strike. Pittsburg, Pa., May 17.—At to day's convention of coal miners of Pittsburg district, it was resolved almost unani mously to immediately call out every miner now working in the district, irre spective of the wages they may be re ceiving.

The number at work at the district price cannot be definitely stated but the pro portion is small. Admiral Meade Will be Retired. Washington, D. C., May 17 —The President has decided to comply with Admiral Meade’s request to be placed on the retired list, and that officer’s ac* ive career will be terminated on Monday next.

AFFECTED BY FROST THE RECENT COLD SNAP HAS CONSIDERABLY RETARDED RETAIL TRADE. HEAVY ADVANCE IN WAGES. General Trade Conditions Throughout the Country, However, Continue Quite Favorable--Cotton an Eighth Stronger but Cower Prices are looked for by Woolen Manufacturers—Con siderable Improvement in Trade Re ported From the South. New York, May 17.—R. G. Dun & Co.’s weekly review of trade to-morrow will say: The severe cold snap, with ex tensive frosts, and in some States snow, has fortunately done little damage to the growing crops, though much'to fruit, but has considerably retarded retail trade. The best news of the week is the ad vance of 10 per cent, in wages by the Carnegie works, followed by the Jones McLaughlin establishment, and evidently implying a similar advance by many eth er concerns. The 1 llinois Steel Company is starting its furnaces without granting the demands of employes. No advance has been found practicable in the wool en mills, where conditions as to prices and foreign competition are very differ ent, and about ten thousand workers are still idle at Olneyville, where the works should consume 600,000 pounds per week. In other department of labor, troubles are not serious, and the demand for manufactured products increases. With material and steady enlargement in domestic trade, there is still great want of employment in the interior for money which comes higher: #2,500,000 during the past week, and the mil lions distributed by the syndicate on bond account, stimulates speculation. Cotton is an eighth stronger in spile of the facts that 9,461,081 bales had come into sight last Friday, which is over 400.000 bales more than the largest crop ever recorded. Northern spinners have taken a little less than 3 years ago upto date, when the crop w T asover 9,000,- 000 bales, but at least 500,000 more than they have consumed as yet, and foreign spinners hold nearly 800,000 bales more than they have consumed, while com mercial s f oeks here and abroad are 246,- 000 baits more than three years ago. The manufacture is prospering though no one can auppo.se its consumption quite at tie maximum and for the jfear it cer tainly has not been. Goods in fair demand for the season and recent ad vances in price are fully maintained. Advances in wages of iron workers by Mr. Frick, of the Carnegie Company, are us significant as were the advances in wages of coke workers by the Frick Coke Company. Apparently it is a strategic movement in the great battle between iron producing interests, al though it is generally interpreted as proof that the outlook for trade is sufli cieut to warrant a material advance in wagesand prices. Most furnaces in theMa homng valley have also advanced wages, and Bessemer iron bis risen to #11.40 at Pittsburg, with grey forge to #9.65. Fin ished products are in larger demand, but asyetnotenoughjlarger to cause any gen eral advance in prices, and proposals of combinations in merchants steel, struc tural iron, cast pipe, wire rods and cut nails, with the existing combination in steel rails, show that the market does not rise of itself. The shoe manufacture is doing remarkably well. Failures during the past week have been 211 in the United States against 219 last year, and 37 in Canada against 24 last year. Bradstreet’s Review. New York, May 17. —Bradstreet’s to morrow will say : General trade conditions throughout the country continue in the main quite favorable. Activity in speculative and investment circles has exceeded that in merchandise lines, but grains made in the latter have in nearly all instances been retained. Woolen goods manufacturers, even with orders for several months to come, are not anticipating wants, as prices for wool at the interior are above a parity with quotations at the seaboard, and lower prices are looked for. Heaviest transactions continue in Australians. The weather has retarded snearing. Woolen manufacturers say the demand is largely for the cheaper grades. Among the more favorable features of the situation are bank clearings, the aggregate for the week being #1,161,- 100,000, or 3 per cent, more than last week, when the total was the heaviest since the second week of June, 1893. Compared with the third week of May last, the week’s gain is more than 30 per cent. The falling off as compared with like week in 1893, the panic period, is only 5 per cent , and compared with the like week in 1892 is only 5.7 per cent. The entile region from Boston to Kan sas City, Omaha, and South Falls, S.D., atnl South to the Guli. reports damage to early vegetables and fruit from the late severe cold weather. It has also checked sales of seasonable fabrics. Among Southern cities an improve ment in trade is reported from Memphis, in groceries at Chattanooga, at Savan nah, and particularly at Galveston, where business is said to be fairly satis factory and the outlook favorable. At New Orleans the volume of business is smaller. The Premier’s Resignation Accepted. Vienna. May 17.—The resignation of Premier Kalnoky was accepted by the Emperor to-day, after giving audience to Baron Banffy, the Hungarian premier. THE EPISCOPAL CONVENTION. The Next Session to Meet in Asheville, June, 1896. Special to the News and Observer, Morganton, N. C., May 17. The convention of the Diocese of North Carolina was called to order at 10 a. m. to-day, according to rule of order. The discussion on assessment for Episco pal and Contingent funds was resumed. Mr. R. H. Battle, of Raleigh, offered a substitute for the committee resolution read by Col. Means yesterday, which substitute was adopted by the majority, The reports of committees had refer ence principally to matters of a local nature. Debate was opened upon a reso lution to petition the Geueral Conven tion to set off as a missionary jurisdic tion that part of the State west of a line forming the eastern boundary of the counties of Alleghany, Wilkes, Alexan der, Catawba, Lincoln and Gaston. The Rev. McNeely Duboise, of Ashe ville, in a very interesting speech, ac companied by illustrations from map 3 of the State, demonstrated the advisability of this separation principally on account of the great size of the present field and the inability of the Bishop to give it his personal attention. Mr. J. H. Pearson moved to amend by changing the line to include the counties of Mecklenburg, Cabarrus, Rowan, Davie, Yadkin and Surry, but the Bishop would not give his consent except on original lines. The motion was there fore withdrawn and debate upon the original resolution proceeded. Col. P. B. Means and C. F. Nicholson opposed a division, but a majority of the speakers, including Rev. Dr. Buxton, Hon. K. P. Battle, Col. J. G. Walton and Mr. Silas Mcßee favored it stroDgly. The resolu tion prevailed by a large majority. This petition, if granted by the Gen eral Convention, brings into the field a missionary bishop, appointed by the General Convention and probably a fund for missionary work. A resolution of thanks for their liberal hospitality was tendered the citizens of Morganton by a nnamio is vote of the convention. The convention of 1896 was invited to Asheville, and no other point being sug gested, it was decided by unanimous vote to meet there. The 2nd Tuesday in June was, after some debate, set as a date upon which to cohvene. Delegates to the General Convention were then elected and final adjournment was taken at 5:30 p. m. A gieat many of the delegates left this afternoon. THE KING’S DAUGHTERS. A Constitution Adopted and New Offi cers Elected. Special to the News and Observer. Newbern, N. C., May 17.

Wilmington, N. C., May 17.—At a meeting of the Produce Exchange of this city, held to-day, the following resolu tion was adopted unanimously: “Whereas, Believing that the free and unlimited coinage of silver by this coun - try alone will result in disaster to the whole country, and especially to the South, we heartily endorse the move ment inaugurated by the Memphis Cot ton Exchange and other representative bodies toward the propagation of sound financial ideas and an interchange of opinion among Southern people on the currency question; “ Resolved , That this exchange appoint two delegates to the convention to be held at Memphis May 23rd, 1895, to dis cuss the question of sound and stable cuirency, and better banking facilities.” ANOTHER LAW DISCOVERED. Asheville’s old Municipal Officers may Have to Hold Over. Asheville, N. C., May 77.—The last Legislature passed a law that all candi dates for office, whether successful or not should file statements of election ex penses within 10 days from the day of election. This clause in the law* was only dis covered by thej municipal officers to-day, and the 10 days since the last municipal election expired last night. The result may probably be that the old municipal officers will hold over. A Negro Mall Robber Arrested. Asheville, N. C., May 17.—Wm. Green, a colored boy 14 years old, was arrested for robbing the United States mail. He was a messenger between the postoffice and Kenilworth Inn and ab stracted checks and money orders amount ing to #2,500. It is not known that Green attempted to cash the stolen checks and money orders. Farmer Shot From Ambush. Special to the News and Observer. Goldsboro, N. C., May 17. John McCullen, a young white man of this county, while plowing in his corn field this morning, was shot from am bush by an unknown assassin and fatally injured. PRICE FIVE CENTS. CYCLONE IN SURRY COUNTY. A VV ind, llail and Rain Storm Destroys Much Property. Special to the News and Observer. Winston-Salem, N. C., May 17. A destructive wind, rain and hail storm passed over the Westfield section of Surry county a few days ago. The storm did much damage and assumed the proportions of a cyclone—demolish ing timber, wrecking orchards and level ing fences. Thirty-three apple trees were blown down on one place. The hail was phenominal and was several inches deep. Three cows and several sheep were killed by lightning. Mr. John Joyce had a tobacco barn destroyed. Mr. Henry Haymore was plowing when the storm came up. A flash of lightning stunned him somewhat and caused his mule to run away. He had the lines wrapped around his hand and he was dragged some distance, thtreby inflict ing serious injuries. The wheat crop, in the path of the storm, was badly damaged, and vegeta bles were beat in the ground. Tobacco plants were also seriously injured. Charles Cook, aged about 25 years, was killed in Wilkes county, near Cling man, last Sunday. He was struck on the head with a stick in the hands of his brother-in law, Amos Coleman. Both men were drinking. It is said that Cook was after Coleman with a knife when the former received a fatal blow. Cole man was arrested but managed to get away from the officers. Cook leaves a wife and four children. Some weeks ago two men were in Winston-Salem soliciting subscriptions to a pictorial work of North Carolina, having with them and exhibiting as a specimen of what it would be, a similar work done in another State. This copy was profusely illustrated and elegantly bound in leather. A number of the best citizens here subscribed for the work. They were told that the books were to be delivered in twelve parts, priced #1.85 each, payable on delivery. The so-called “Work of Art” was delivered to the sub scribers here yesterday, but some of them refused to pay for it, claiming that the books were not as represented, the illustrations being cheap w*ood cuts, etc. Mr. K. Barbazian, a young Armenian merchant, who has been in this country for two years, was in W inston yester day, on his way from Asheville to Roan oke. He was fully posted as to the late Armenian outrages on the Chris tians, on the part of the Turkish sol diers there, and spoke of their ap preciation of the attitude of the various Western Governments in the investigations. Mr. Barbazian is an escaped subject of Turkey, that government allowing no person in the countries under their control to leave the domains or even to travel from one village to another without special per mission. He was concealed under a heap of burlaps in the hold of a French steamer, leaving Constantinople for Mar seilles, and cannot return for fear of death. An eighteen year old colored girl, Lenora Hailey, was shot and fatally wounded in the northeastern part of Winston, Tuesday night, by her sweet heart, “Bud” Cunningham, who made his escape. The ball entered the neck just below the ear. The girl is thor oughly paralyzed and will die. George Parrish, of Guilford county, was convicted in the Superior Court here yesterday afternoon of stealing #35 from another farmer, named James Inman, of Surry county. Parrish was sent to the county roads for eighteen months. He has a wife and five small children. He went to jail weeping bitterly. He denies stealing the money and says that he is an innocent man.
