To-day the Vnlted Presbyterian General Assembly placed Its seal upon the question of approving woman suffrage by formally accepting the report of the judiciary committee, which was to the effect that the question was purely a civic one. and. there fore, Xiot one that properly can come before an ecclesiastical legislative body. This afternoon the committee on judiciary handed lown its report on the position of the church as opposed to secret organizations. The report holds that "sessions possess the right to exercise a wise discretion I" dealing with such cases as have fellowship In associations which bind their members Tay oaths or affirmations to obligations and to Immoral secrcsy, or which establish a fraternal secresy, or which establish a fraternal fellowship umong inen subvt-rsive of the unity of the body of Christ. It is especially obligatory upon Christians to etand aloof from the societies which by their moral teachings and religious ritual foster a belief In the solvability of men apart from tho mediation of Christ. We condemn such organizations as demoralizing to .our Lord and Injurious to men; and persons who. with knowledge of the truth concerning them, adhere to such associations ehall not be received Into church membership. All such societies are Included In the phase of the testimony Inconsistent with the genius and spirit of Christianity." The Donknnl Conference. LINCOLN. Neb.. May 27.

MAY LIMIT INDEMNITY

PROTEST OF THE IMTEI1 STATES .NOT WITIIOI T EFFECT. Totnl Demnndrd from C hlnn Mny Not i:ceed l.'O.IHKMMW Tels Ibtokhill's Statement. PEKING, May 27. It seems probable that Great Britain's proposition limiting the Indemnity to be demanded from China to rtMV) tarls will be agreed to by the end of the week. United States Special Commissioner Rockhill thinks this may be considered an American victory. Though his proposition limiting Indemnty to 310,"'v,0"0 tarls was not accepted, still it was the cause of the other powers considering the idea. The only point likely to cause further delay in a decision by all tho powers except America is :hat regarding the raising of the foreign customs 5 per cent. Mr. Rockhill told the ministers at a recent meeting that rather than take this step America would relinquish all claims of Indemnity and even make a money present to China, as American commercial interests would suffer far more then by than these of any other power, with possibly one exception. 1 vn:vs or a iiissian ntixci:. r.crman Want u Lnr;e Share of China Mistake of the Allies. NEW YORK. May 27. Prince Oukhtomsky, president of the Russo-Chinese Bank, who is described as knowing the Chinese, as having studied, them and as having lately spent four months at Peking, Is quoted at some length on the Chinese situation In a St. Petersburg dispatch to the Herald. In the course of the Interview he said: "I did not ice Count Von Waldersce at Peking, but every one there knew that he felt the uselessness of his position. The Kaiser thought Peking could be taken with a battalion. So lt could, but the battalion could not stop there. That is what he did not understand. He did not comprehend the tenacity and silent resisting power of the Chinese, who have the character of the Philander and the characteristics of Turanian blood. The Chinese will never forgive and forget. There is no fear with them. The spirit of fatalism among them is far too strong. They would not care even if a3 many more of them were sacrificed." "Do they hate Germans particularly?" "No; they dislike us all about equally, and now more than ever." "What would have been the right course to pursue?" "Retire at once after the legations had been rescued and treat the. Chinese as barbarians with whom we would have no more Intercourse. Had that been done LI Hung Chang and the rest of the mandarins would have come running down after us. Instead of that and I look upon it as a shame that Russian representatives should be in such a position ministers are running after LI Hung Chang, bowing, scraping and craving audiences of him. Should Germany not evacuate Peking before the wet season comes on. when the season commences the legations cannot remain in the citv. They will have to go up to the hills. They will go with a small guard of soldiers." "What will happen then?" "In the recent trouble, over which there were such great difficulties, only one of the legations was attacked. The probability is that the Chinese arc now more angry and excited than ever and will attack all the legations. Remember, tne Chinese are very bitter, and have much right to be so. The pillaging of Peking was something awful. Peking was fabulously rich." Prince Oukhtomsky said further of the situr .on: "The Germans lo not mean to get out of China at nil. That w;as what everybody knew who was in Peking, lt was the common talk of every German there, and they made no attempt at concealing the object of their mission, which was to stay." "But what do they want?" "The provinces of Chan-Tung and ChlLI, adjacent to us in Manchuria a territory with 25,OUO,0t) of Chinese inhabitants. They want Yang-Tse, but only for trading purposes. All this lg looked on as a colony for Germaav." MISCELLANEOUS BREVITIES.
