XMscord in Northern Presbyterian Assem- ' " bly. ' ."Eagle Lake, Ind., May 22. "There is no 'truth in that statement." These were' the words that greeted an asser tion made on the floor of the Presby terian general assembly this after noon. They were uttered by Dr. Wil son Phraner, a member of the board of home missions in New York, a.id were directed against the allegation of JtevJ P. J. Knowles, of Mount CarmeJ, Ills., who jocosely styled, himself "Eliha's successor." The statement thus) denied was to the effect that one of the officers of the home mission board in New York was receiving two salaries one from the board and from - a friend also that .the mission board occupied quarters costing $25,000 an nually. The denial was explicit, al- legirig that the statements never were true; and are not now true. Over the off et of the original speaker to give bis authority there came the first serious parliamentary tangle of the session. 1 Thej moderator ruled the offer to give .authority for the statement out of or .'der.) Appeals from this decision were taken and. sustained. The authority was: then stated to be a member of the committee from , the synod of Illinois andj Indiana, who went to New York to - conf er with the board of home missions upon the work of the board, but his .name was withheld. After adjourn ment considerable Indignation was ex pressed by various commissioners. International Chess. Washington, May 22.

A single consultation game, in which all the members of both teams may con sult as to the moves, will be played on a date to be fixed by the Englishmen. Two wires between Washington and New "York will be given up to the games and it is expected that not more than three : minutes will be consumed in transmitting the several moves between London and Washington. The American players will draw lots for their British competitors and their places at the tables. The Wash ington end of the games will be played in the house foreign affairs committee room, to which only a few invited guests, including Speaker Reed and the "British ambassador, will be admitted.

Nevarro Reverter, minister of finance,, in the budget statement to the cortes, esti mates the revenue at 853,278,771 pecetas ($170,473,802), and tfhe expenditures at 873,865,877 pecetas ($178,656,114).

By this means it is expected 20,000,000 will be obtained. The colonial depart ment will contribute 32,000,000 and. the balance of 40,000,000 will be raised by a loan on the proposed petroleum monop oly, giving the exclusive privilege of dealing in this product during the next twenty years. Should the colonial de partment be unable to pay its share of the increased expenditures, it is cal culated that a portion of another loan can be obtained by a proposed monop oly on explosives. An Historic Church "Burned. ' - Savannah, Ga., May 22. Christ church, the oldest church in Georgia, founded by John Wesley before he promulgated the Methodist faith, was burned almost to the ground shortly after midnight tonight. The fire was discovered shortly after 12 o'clock 'and It spread rapidly. It is sup posed to have originated from a gas Jet left burning by some member of the choir which held a practice there tonight. It contained all records of Savannah and practically of Georgia since 1825, most of which, are a total loss. -. - - The church cost about $25,000 and about as much more has been ? spent upon it. The price set upon the building and lot recently was $100,000. Itis only partially covered by insurance. Christ church, standing; on Bull street from the Johnson square; is the mother church of " Episcopal pommunion in Georgia. Christ church! parish was founded, as soon as the settlement- of Sa vannah. The first edifice was begun in 1743, but was not completed until 1750. .In 1796, it was destroyed by fire and was re built upon enlarged plan in 1803. The next year it was partly demolished by a hurricane and was not re-built until 1810. In 1838, the .corner stone of the present edifice was laid, the old church having been torn down and the building was completed in 1840. The founder of Christ church was Rev. Henry Herbert, who came over from England with Oglethorpe. John Wesley was its third rector and on the sight of the present edifice stood the rude chapel in which he ministered as chaplain to the colonists. The late Bishop Stephen Elliott was rector of the church from 1861 until his death in 1866, and in the chancel is a beautiful window to his memory. In the Clutches of the Law. Logansport, Ind., Mayy 22. John F. Johnson, late president of the State Na tional Bank is now in the hands of the law. This afternoon Deputy United States Marshal Clark, arrived in the city and arrested Johnson, who was cool and collected. The bend was fixed at $25,000 which he has failed to furnish. The fol lowing statement was given out for pub lication today by a friend of Mr. John son: A generous public should know that the present condition of the State Nation al bank has not been brought about by undue speculation or extravagance on the part of Mr. Johnson nor by his exces sive selfishness, but is the result of cir cumstances over which he could not gain control and for many of which he was not responsible. That he made mis takes and did grievously wrong, he con fesses. And yet it may be said with rea son and truth that he had no wicked pur pose in what he did. He has made all possible restitution and offers no defense, except that he was trying to preserve the reputation of a kind and devoted father. And since the law does not justify his methods, he purposes to suffer its penal ties without evasion or equivocation. Who could do more? When Bank Examiner Caldwell laid down $200,000 worth of forged notes before President Johnson and said: "Mr. John son, you signed those notes." The an swer was given without a tremor, "I did." The expert today said that certain book keepers in the bank knew of the presi dent's crime, but the false entries being made by the president himself saves them from the clutches of the law. Obstructions to the ltuiz Investlgatian Havana, May 22. The investigation by Commissioner W. B. Calhoun into the matter of death of Dr. Ruiz is not proceeding rapidly. On Thursday Dr. Congosto, the Spanish consul at Phil adelphia, asserted that Dr. Ruiz did no? explain that he was an American cit-, izen and, therefore, was kept "in communico" for more than seventy- two hours. General Lee, on hearing this, promtply and emphatically stated that on February 6th. he sent official notice to Marshal de Ahumada, the acting captain general, to the effect that Ruiz was an American citizen, and that he demanded his treaty rights. It appears that Senor Congosto noted this fact. Investigation will not proceed furth er until the Spanish representative has approved the written statement of Gen eral Lee as to the scope of inquiry, the Americans desiring to go farther than the Spanish deem necessary. There is little hope that ; facts bearing directl on the nature of the death of Dr. Ruiz will be elicited. It is thought, however, . i . . i !ii i. j n A mat arrangements win oe raaue anu wr ing the Inquiry, to proceed on Monday. ' Kentucky Senatorial Bribery Cases. Frankfort, Ky., "May 2. The indict ment against W. Godfrey 'Hunter; ex Congressman Wilson and Mr. EL T. Franks were argued on demurrer be fore Circuit Judge Can trill at George- : town and the motion to quash was taken under advisement by the court. The attorneys for the defense base their demurrers on the grounds .that while there is a statutory penalty in this state for bribery or attempt to bribe there is none for "conspiring to bribe." The offense charged in the in dictment. Louisville, Ky., May 22. Judge iNoble of the criminal court today overruled the motion of the defendants to quash the indictments against ex-Banker J. M. McKnigt, Sterling E. Edmunds, Al derman R. (F. King and others on charges of bribery, which were return ed by the February grand jury. The cases will now be tried. The Destitute Americans In Cuba. "Washington.May 22.- A telegram was received at the state department this morning from Consul General Lee, in dicating that the number of Americans in need of relief in Cuba is much larger than-was supposed at first. The con sul general says that the -number may reach 1.200. The consul at Matanzas reports 250 there and the consul at Sa gua 450. General Lee also cabled the state department that the Spanish offi cials - have released Fernando Govin, an American citizen who has . been under arrest and he will leave the island. ' ' Base'lSall. St Louis, May 22. Errors by Hartmaq and Cross gave the Bostons five runs in the first inning -today, enough (to win the game.

Allison Hodges was elected proc tor of the faculty of the University col lege of Medicine,' at a meeting of that body held Tuesday.

Tnis promotion is a marked distinction for Dr. Hodges,- whose rapid rise -In his profession during his residence in the city : has been remarkable. His success, however, has been due in a large measure td constant application and the excep tional advantages he enjoyed while study ing medicine at the University of Vir ginia, in northern schools, and in Europe. .
