ealmon fisheries of Alaska. The instructions, while not diti'oring materially from those of last year are much more specific in character. Efforts will be made to avoid a repetition of last year's experience with foreign vessels seized for violations of law. In two or three cases the vessels were placed in chare of a priae crew consisting of one man, and as a result never reached the port where he was ordered to take them. U bile it will be egually impossible now to increase the size oi the prize crews, an effort will bo made to accomplish the same result in another way. According to the present instructions, it is understood that all vessels fonnd violating the law will be dismantled and deprived of all means of further violations. Their logs and all skins are also to be seized and preserved as evidence against them. With the exception of certain details as to the enforcement of the law. there is. however, no change in the general policy of the administration on this question. MTNOI1 MATTERS.

Congressman "Held Up" bj Highwaymen and Robbed of Watch and Money. -Special to the Indianapolis Journal. Washington, -May 21. A Congressman was "held up" in the park just south of the executive mansion some nights ago by four highwaymen and relieved of a gold watch and chain and about S3) in money. A detective -who has the case in his hands Bays that his client is a member of tho House, and on the night in question he was accompanied by a woman, but the police department do not place much stock in the matter, as they say that if the robbery was committed in the presence of a woman there would likely have been an abundance of feminine screams, which would have attracted the park watchman or the patrolman. However, two colored men were arrested last night on suspicion of being implicated in the, crime, and in the police court this morning were required to give bonds or go to th work-house. The name of the member of Congress is not known. Mr. Canadays .Resignation Vasiiln'GTON, May 21. Sergeant-at-arms Canaday, before offering his resignation, received a letter signed by a majority of tho Republican Senators, which, after saying that they had heard he contemplated resigning by June 1, continues: "Appreciating your efficiency as executive officer of the Senate, and the admirable manner in which the business of your office has been conducted, the information comes to ns with much regret. In view of the, complications which may arise in the choice of your successor, and that the Senate may have time to make a careful selection, if yon have fully decided to tender your resignation, we ask thatj'ou make it to take effect not earlier than July 1, prox." A large number of the remaining Senators, both Republicans and Democrats, wrote personal letters of strong indorsement of Colonel Canaday. Carlisle and the Senate Committees. Special to the Indianapolis Journal. Washington, May 21. Senator-elect Carlisle went to New York to-night, and he will not take the oath of office in the Senate to-morrow. He expects to return so as to take his 6eat Friday. His resignation as a member of the House ot RoDresentative is in the hands of the Governor of Kentucky. There is some speculation as to the ossule position on committees to be given r. Carlisle. Mr. Beck, his prececessor, was a member on the committee on appropriations, the committee on finance, among the most important committees in tho Senate, and tho select committee on woman's suffrage. It is possible that, in view of his long service on the committee on ways and means, Mr. Carlisle will succeed to the place now vacated on the finance committee. Census Mall Matter. Special to the Indianapolis Journal. Washington, May 21. The President to-day approved the bill providing that maiimatter of whatever class relating to the census and addressed to tho office; to the Superintendent of tho Census, his chief clerk, supervisors or enumerators, shall be transported by registered mail. By this act supervisors can send schedules registered to their enumerators and enumerators can return them in the same way. The Census Oifice is anxious that postmasters throughout the country should take notice of this,as it may be necessary for supervisors to avail themselves of the provisions of this act before the postmasters have time to receive official notification of its passage from ths Tostoffice Department. May Veto the Hirer and Harbor Bill. 6lecial to the Indiana polls Journal. Washington, May 21. A Western member of the House, who .visited the Secretary of War and President Harrison, to-day, reported at the Capitol that the President would veto the river and harbor bill if it should be passed, and that the grounds for the veto would be excessive provisions in thebill.andthatthe large appropriations for pensions, public buildings and various internal improvements will run the aggregate for this session up so high that the revenues of the government would not stand the appropriations proposed by the river and harbor bill.

BBEWEKS OF LAGER BEER

Topics Discussed at the Annual Conven- . tion of the National Association, Battles Against Prohibitory Legislation-Bills in Congress Opposed by. the -Brewing Industry Xot a Political Machine. Washington, May 21. The United States Brewers' Association began here, to-day, its thirteenth annual convention. There -were present about two hundred delegates, from all parts of the United States, representing, approximately, 195,000,000 in invested capital- Thies J. Leifon's, of Chicago, chairman of the association, presided, and, , in his opening address, said: . "I am glad to be able to etate that our trade and our interests as brewers are in a more hope ful state than they were a year ago. At tbe time of our last meeting our minds were burdened, not alone with the reports of the great calamity which bad just then befallen tho people of Pennsylvania, in tho Johnstown disaster, but we were also affected by the uncertainty of the outcom of our election, then shortly to be held in. that State, which offered one of the most important opportunities to confirm or reject legislation affectintr the personal rights of the people. 1 am glad to state what is known to yon already, that the people of Pennsylvania have refused to make tif tyono out of ono hundred the dictators for the other forty-nine as to what they should eat and drink. You will learn, however, from the reports to be read to yon, that by no- means has the time come when we can relax our vigilance, for, what our opponents have lost in influence with the people direct, as shown by all recent elections where prohibitory laws were submitted to the people, they are trying to regain in Washington by the introduction of bills which aro intended to accomplish, through national channels, what the people of the States have refused to indorse. I am unwilling, however, to believe that the special attention our business has of lato received at the hands of Congress, is partly due to the action of self-inturcsted people in lines of trade closely connected with ours, who are short-sighted enough to seek legislation unjust and detrimental to our business." One of the most important reports read was that of tbe board of trustees. In its report the board says: "There never wns a time in the whole history of tbe association when so many attempts have been made to injure the brewing industry by means which do not require tbe sanction of tbe people and would not obtain it if they could bo submitted to a vote. Tbo bill for the appointment of a commission for tbe investigation of the liquor traffic, which has been adversely reported upon so often, was again introduced in Congress and urged with extraordinary persistency on the part of our opponents, f he present board would have opposed the pending measure outright had they not been assured by competent judges that the chances oi passing the said bill were very groat, and that it would be unwise not to do all that was possible in order to render the bill less obnoxious by having it amended in a manner promising a fair, impartial and competent investigation. With this object in view, your trustees caused to be submitted to the committee on alcoholic liquor traffic a protest against that part of the bill which provides that there shall bo appointed a commission of five persons, not all of whom shall be advocates of prohibitory liquor laws, and suggesting that a commission of nine be appointed, so constituted an to represent both political parties, the Prohibition party, the High-license party, the United. States Brewers' Association, the United States Distillers' Association and those branches of science and statistics which deal with the question of alcoholism, pauperism and crime. Wo have i.ome hopes that the bill now before the House will bo amended in such a spirit of fairness. , "Your trustees endeavored to convince the committee on -ways and means that under existing circumstances, and in view of the protective import duties already enforced, any increase of the tariff on hops. barley, malt, rice, corks, etc., would be unjustifiable from an economic point of view, but we failed to accomplish more than the curtailing of the rates of increase originally proposed. Yourtrusteeshave heard various rumors concerning the causes of this failure, but prefer to persevere in their conviction that so august a body as the Congress of tho United States would not exercise the law-making power for. purposes other than those which are strictly in accord with the requirements of the public welfare. We may regret that the lawmakers sometimes act under erroneous conceptions of what the public welfare demands; but we will not believe that partisan considerations can actuate them to jeopardize vast industrial interests." In respect to the adulteration of beer and the bill against it now pending in Congress, the report says: "This is the proper time and opportunity to repeat that, individually and as the representatives of this association, we condemn adulteration, and f nlly . approve and support any law designed to suppress and punish it. That tho brewers of this country do not adulterate their products is a fact which has been demonstrated by official analysis, like the one, for example, made a few years ago by tho Health Board of tho State of New York, which included samples ot beer from nearly every brewery in the State. Not a single instance of the use of injurious substances was discovered in this case, and the same is true of every impartial and competent analysis ever made anywhere in our country." The report says that the use of any grain other than barley in the manufacture of beer cannot be styled an adulteration, and continues: "It is our opinion that the proper course to pursue would be to havo a competent authority say, for instance, the revenue department in conjunction with tho agricultural, tho medical department and tho Board ef Health determine whether the uso of rice, wheat, corn or tho starch derived from theso materials is wholesome or not; whether beer made of either of these is or is not less health)' and nutritive than bar ley beer, and, lastly, whether the use of cereals other than barley in the brewing of becr is justly and properly to be considerec an adulteration. If it is. forbid it. What dered ever could bo legitimately done to prevent the passage of the bill under consideration was promptly done by your officers and representatives. Ilere. as in all our efforts, we were greatly hampered by tho totally unfounded lm- - . . pression mat this association is a part or a political machine an impression which is strengthened, unfortunately, by persons connected with tho trade in a loose way, but neither authorized to speak lor ns nor representing our views correctly in any re spect. Wo have so often emphasized the fact that this association is not a political machine, committed irrevocably to any party, that repetition of the statement must be wearisome, yet circumstances com pel us to again explain our position, and we cannot do this better than by citing th following from the address with which your former president, Mr. Scharmann, opened the Kochester convention, lie said: "We do not wish to play any part in politics; we would gladly do our duty at tbe ballot-oox, voting for tills party or the other, as our Indi vidual convictions may compel us. if those who constantly assail our trade would but allow us to do so. Wo are not politicians; we are citizens and brewers, and we exercise the mhts of the form er to protect tne interests or the latter, in every other respect we are as much divided in political opinion as anybody of business men in tbe country, the proportion of Republicans and Democrats in our ranks be lug about equal. We are a unit only in matters concerning our industrial interest. Our association is not a political or ganization; it is a ooay or business men organ ized for the advancement and protection or our trade. If In living up to the legitimate object, we are forced at times to take political action, the blame, if there be any, falls upon those who will not let us live in peace; who endeavor to despoil us of our right and trood name. "Onr policy has not been changed einco these words were uttered, and it is to be regretted that it is not fully nnderstood everywhere." This afternoon tho delegates went to Mount Vernon. American Medical Association. Nashville, Tenn., May 21. At the general session of tho American Medical Association to-day, after business of minor importarce, Dr..t8 Davis, of Chicago, father of the association, delivered his address on "General Medicine." which was received with applause. The report or the chairman of tho Rusk monument committee showed that responses to the appeal for aid to build tho monnment bad not been liberal. Quite a lively but fruitless discussion arose over the question as to who was

responsible for the publication of the articles in the journal of the association, which has a circulation of live thousand, , and is published at Chicago. Inquiry was made as to why certain papers read before the association were published immediately on its adjournment while others were left over for a year, and in some cases never, published. At a meeting of the National Association of Medical Colleges held at the Senate chamber to-day the following officers were elected: President. N. S. Davis, M. D.. LL. P., Chicago, ex-president of the last international medical congress; secretary and treasurer. Perry II. Millard, M. D., St. Paul, dean of the department of medicine of the University of Minnesota-

PRESBYTERIAN" BODIES. Work of the Board of Missions of the Northern Church A Lack of Fund. Saratoga, May 21. In the Presbyterian General Assembly to-day a resolution, urg ing Congress to pass the bill now before it for an investigation of the effects of intox icating liquors, was adopted, after remarks by Dr. Patterson, of Philadelphia. A resolution asking Congress to pass an amendment to the interstate-commerce bill, that will enable the States to prohibit or restrict the liquor traffic was referred to the committee on temperance. Rev. Howard Crosby, D. D., offered a resolution favoring co-operation between weak Presbyterian and other churches in New England, New York and New Jersey. Tho fifty-third annual report of the Board of Foreign Missions was read by David J. Uurrell, of Minneapolis. The board laments the unusual number of deaths among its members. The total re ceipts of the board during the year have ,been $794,006.44 from churches, $291,791 from Sabbath-schools, S26.0G2 from woman's boards, S2S0.2S5 from legacies, and from miscellaneous sources, $73,120. Thero was a decrease of 58.749 as compared with last year. There is at present a deficit of SC0.275. There wero sent ont dnrina the year to Mexico 5 missionaries; to Colombia, 4: to Brazil, 8; to Syria, 6: to Persia, 13; to ljoas, to Uorca, 5; to Lhma, 2G; to Japan, 15; to Guatemala, 2; to Africa, 3, and to In dia, lb, a total ox 100. Besides out stations, there are in the Indian missions 6 stations; in tho Mexican, 5; in the Guatemalan, 1; in the Brazilian, 8; in the Colombian, 3; in tho Chilian, 4; in the African, 17; in India, 19; in the Siamese. 5: in the Chinese. 13: in the Japanese, 5; in the Corean, 1; in the Persian, u, and in the Syrian 5, making in all 78. An urgent appeal was made to tho assembly to study the report carefully, and then to say why the great falling oil in receipts occurred. O bis is the second falling off year, lhe strong synods have not done as well in proportion as tho weaker ones. It ouly makes matters worse that our other boards are. as a rula in the same situation. The cause is becoming more and more de pendent on the benevolence of the dead and the activity of living women and Sunday-school scholars, while the churches are falling oil'. We must and can makeup these deficits in the receipts of our boards. Our denomination, perhaps the richest in the world, gives only one sixteenth of 1 per cent, of its income for sending the gospel to the heathen. Key. Dr. Ellinwood, secretary of the board, advised a system of weekly subscriptions, as is done by the Free Church of Scotland and by the Presbyterians of Canada. Tho Rev. Dr. Alexander said that, al though thero is a great deficit, there is no debt. There will be. however, before snow flies unless God opens the windows in heaven. We want better ideas and methods of giving. Ho went over the lields of the board, and asked where it would be possible without disaster to restrict the work, lie deprecated the effect of restric tion upon the great number of young peo ple coming forward, who will be compelled to go out under the auspices of other de nominations. We were lately almost constrained to reject thirteen choice young men. Wo have had to draw heavily on tho permanent funds to prevent debt to indi viduals, but this resource will not last six months longer. This is a more pressing matter than the questions of or ganic law and method now before us, just has life is greater than the organs which it i builds up and uses. The disease is not la grippe, but the far more dangerous grip on tho purse. The Rev. Archibald McCullough, D. D., of Brooklyn, said that it is qnito in the power of tho church to bring the gospel to the knowledge of every human being within ten years. Seven hundred and fifty million dollars, less than the yearly drinkbill of the United States, would do this. The Rev. Mr. Mott, chairman of the committee of 'the missionary movement among college and seminary stations, said that five thousand students have signed a paper signnying ineir wiuiugnoss to go abroad. Twenty-seven per cent of these are Presbyterians and 18 per cent. Congregationalists. Forty denominations are represented in this movement. The recommendations of the board were adopted seriatim. When the regular order, the consideration of the report of the special committee on the publication board and Sundayschool work, was called at the afternoon session, Dr. Agnew having the floor, said ho was going to keep sweet under very aggravating circumstances, owing to a misunderstanding on the part of the special committee as to the books of the board and what is necessary for carrying on its business. He then gave a history of the trouble between the two boards, which relates to tho manner of doing the printing work, and its cost In regard to the printing plant ho said: "The eight presses required to do our work type, electrotype plant, etc. ccsts $05,000, with cutting and folding machinery, engines, boilers, shafting, etc., and you see wo have far overrun the $40,000 which wo aro told a suitable plant to do our work would cost. For that sum wo could get only an inferior outfit, that would do work our church would never tolerate A conference on this point would have obviated this futile strife on that point. But they say that a responsible firm has ollered to do our work for much less. Well, we tried all that twelve years ago. when wo gave our work to the three lowest bidders. Since then fifteen respon sible I hiladelphia houses have bid for our work, and in each case higher than we are now paying." Dr. llerrick Johnson, of Chicago, said there were good men on both sides who entertained radically different views, while recognizing each others "Christian character and motives." He said: "We have heard the charges of the special committee And the answer. There are, no doubt, two sides, ami nothing but a commission, con sidering the whole matter at their leisure. can deal with it properly." Ur. Howard Crosby called up from the table the resolution of Mr. Graham for the appointment of such a committee. He said the assembly had ordered last year a committee to make a report with the business committee, and added;. "Owing to a misunderstanding, we cannot hear this report, and therefore I favorthe proposition of Mr. Graham for a committee." Alter some discussion as to points of order, Mr. Kane, of the Arterial committer was by vote allowed to speak on the main question. Ho aid: "1 was in favor last year of dropping this investigating committee, and felt that L ought not to be on the committee becauso I was on record against its work; but on examining the facts 1 changed my mind. I wish I could speak like a lawyer or a minister to mako some plain statements." The Graham reso lution was carried. Mission Work in the South. AsunviLLE. 2u C, May 21. The General Assembly to-day considered the report of the standing committee on home missions. The total receipts for the year were 76,212, and the disbursements about the same. The rrport was adopted. The section touching on colored evangelical work was docketed until the special committee appointed for that purpose shonld report. Colonel Perrin introduced a resolution stating tbat the assembly regards with regret tbe tendency of ministers to leave the pulpit to accept professorships in ditlerent schools and colleges, and that tbe presby teries should discourage such tendencies,, At a meet! ncr in th interest of home mis sions, Iiv. 11.

Annual Meeting of the Publication Society of the Church Reports and Addresses. Chicago, May 21. The second of the series of Baptist anniversary meetings began hero this morning, when th American Baptist Publication Society oonvened in annual session. There vas a very large attendance. The Rev. George C. Lorimer, pastor of Immanuai Church, this city, delivered the address of welcome. Various committees were appointed. The report of the board of managers was read by Kev. Benj. Griffith. It showed that during the 105 years of Baptist history in this country the annual average increase in membership was 20,000. During the last forty years, however, the average had been 01,000. Reverend Griffith pointed out that tho publication society raa engaged in training these converts by distributing religious literature. The receipts in the book department of the society during the year were $517,8S3.90; in the missionary department. $125,114.90; in the Bible departments, $22,240; in all the departments, $065,239. The total number of publications was S3,093,700, a gain of 2,254,850 over the preceding year. The num ber of pages printed was 728.&16.523. The 1 number of copies of periodicals issued was 31,275,200, an increase of 2,147.051. The financial statement shows: Assets, 875,262.72; liabilities, $27,804.11; net assets, 847,458.58. It will be seen that the society is much more than self-supporting, although 132 colporteurs were supported and 22,783 Bibles, 39,0SG books and 670,373 pages of tracts were distributed. ' Rev.

Church South was devoted to debating a motion to reconsider tho action of the conference, taken some days ago, rejecting a proposition from the Prot estant Episcopal Church, asking the Gen eral Conference to appoint a committee to confer with the ' committee from that church on the subject of godly union and concord, and the organio union of Protestant churches. Quito a number of delegates took part in the discussion, and considerable feeling was shown at times.

This motion was defeated by only two majority, and then the report of the committee was readopted by a vote of 124 to 108. The committeo on episcopacy submitted a resolution reciting the fact that not only had the salaries of bishops been raised and two new bishops elected, but that therehas heretofore been a dehcit in that fund. They therefore recommended that the con ference assessments be increased l2,000,and that presiding elders of the various confer ences equally apportion this assessment. Adopted.
