It was adopted unanimously.- Tun Mt tyA 51100100. The subject of the China' Mission was taken up. The reports of the board and that of the Committee on the Board were rend at length. and a resolution wns passed allowing any member of the Board to make remark. to rt— baton to the matter of the Minion to China. Dr. Cooper did not see any propriety In con tinuing the mission in China. unless there is a new state of thing. inaugurated. He would like to hear Brother Nevin. who had returned from the field, and was present in the house, before he would say more. Dr. Dales thought the report pireseuted all personal necetisary. The - Board felt no dper interest in any mission than i nhat. of China. It had not been sustained as it should hare been. Mr. William Gettl was uf the opinion that this was the time to clenr •up misunderstand ing.. He had been a member of the Board for sin years. The church never manifested that interest in tire China mission that she ehould have done. He hoped that If the church should - resolve to continue the, mission she wuld support it liberally. Rev. A. G. Wallace moved that Rev. .1. C. Nevin, returned missionary from China, be re quested to address the Assembly on the sub ject of the China Minion. Mr. Nevin then ascended the platform. He had not Dbysical Strength enough, he said. to deliver an address. When he read the action of the Assembly last year he thought no re port would he. expected. He expected to make out it report on his voyage home, but was unable to do so. He may hare mistaken' the action of the Assembly. But he thought be could not. He thought that the action of the Assembly as an intlmatlmi that the Mir dun would be w transferred to another body - . His co-laborer, Mr. McKelvey. bad no alterna tive but to go to India, or return home. He chose the latter alternative. He could not have settled up the matters of the Mission and arrinured the question of property sooner than he did. Their title there was good. The Church had done itself a great wrong in adoning the field. They would'o hoor to o themselves by taking it up agai n . Ch ina was an important field. The one-third of the whole population of the world is there. Toe Chinese were being brought to their eery doors. Immigrants are being thrown on the shores of the United States by the thousands. The church could sustain three hilesions lathe country whence these Immigrants come. This she Ic perfectly able to do. Let her take it up, and sustain it with energy and deter mination. The men can certainly he found. In reply to a question of Dr. Easton, Mr. Nevin said it was his firm determination to re turn to China in whatever way God in his providence might order: Rev. Mr. Crowe, naked If there was not a large city in China not occupied by some other church as a missionary field. in which they • mi r;e a v In on respondedtheir P t e luTtTti n e ' in were eight hundred thousand inhabitants in Canton alone. The fifteen or more miseionntles that are there are not sufficient to carry on the work. In the province of Canton alone there were one hundred and thirteeen millions. .

He was willing to labor fifty years in China 11 spared, (Applause) to accomplish. this end. Rer.lir. Alexander asked what good would mutt from the Burlingame treaty? Mr. Nevin said that treaty awlill step back ward." They had all they shed under English laws . A.S. Wallace asked whether It wan better to carry on the missionary work in this country or in China? Mr. Nevin responded—"l say most unhesi tatingly in China. where the missionary will meet the subitantial classes of the people." • In reply to a question, he said he wished to see two men in Canton and aa many more es they could send who might go into the coun -1 trY. in this way they could carry on the missionary work with comparative ancients , .

Mr. Portly favored the resolution ry. de cidedly. lie thout if necessa addtiona means might be s ec ured to send other i labor l era out. Rev. Mr. Pollock was opposed to the resolu lion: There were many stronger missionary stations In China, under the direction of orthodox sister churches. with more laborers than the United Presbyterian Church could hope to command. If it was to bet placed on a sound basis, however. he pledged his congregation to raise their proportion of the funds necessary. Hee. Mr.Mcallh of Juniata, said ho was In favor of thetresolution.

Because they had it not they had failed. With faith they could continue the work. and their labors ssculd he crowned with rich success. ttev. Mr. Pollock suggested that it was time the debate should close. A great many of the members had to seek their places of entertain.. ment outside the cities, and if they remained longer in the Assembly they would miss the train. Her. Mr. Bruce moved that the subject be postponed until wen subs Wednesday morning, at ten 'clock. This tqu entl amended. providing that the vote Mr not taken before ten o'clock. After considerable discussion, the motion. as amended, was carried.' = The report of the Committee on Papal IMP [lsm was then takenup, with the resolution providing for its ndoption. The report em bodied the ids. that Papal baptism was not Christian. ltev. Mr. Harper moved an amendment to the report. soas to expunge that sentence which sald "Th e Church of Roment one time Was Christian." but had degenerated. He supported his motion by a lengthy speech, and concluded by defining his reasons for Making it, Mat, as because it scan not a fact that the Romish Church was ever Christ ian, and second. it would lead to a wrong im pression of the position of the Church. Several members made short speeches on the motion. when Rev. Mr. Paul offered an amendment that "the validity of Papal baptism is not admit ted.- Rev. Mr. Ormond. of New Tort. thought they had nothing to do with the early infancy of the Romish Church. They only_ were con sidering the assertion that the Church of Route was the synagogue of Satan. He be lieved that. lie thought that Church had no right to baptise in the name of the Father, Son and Holy Ghost. It is not th e y had Chris tian Church. and that WWI all they had to deal with. - Rev. Mr. Jackson thought to puss this reso lution was to establish a new doctrine in the church. It was a question which had never been decided is either of the associations which now formed the United Presbyterian Church. The question wax' n eery important one. and he did not think the Assembly was seedy to decide it. It had never been mooted in the Presbyterin. lie knew there were many there who thought a decision such as made by the paper, was a wrong one. lie. therefore: favored postponing the matter un til the next General Assembly. For himself he was ready to vote nose against the resolu tion, or the ndont ion of the paper, but thought It advisable to postpone. Rev. Mr. Turnbull said he was as strongly opposed to the Heinen Catholic as any our. but he was not now prepared to vote intelli gently on such a weighty matter. The noner might be correct in every part-but he _bad not had time to corusider and was unwilling to TOM RUC. Mr. Armstrong said if the members were not now prepared to decide on this ques tion it was their own fault. It should not now be postponed. Iter..Mr.Ormond said the question was as er practical one with him. In his town bee en-_ had been missionating among the Roman Catholic endrch; some comets them attended inn preaching would nto his church in all probe -bllity. Now. he wanted to know - whether he should baptize then or not. . If it was admitted that their baptism was of divine origin then the Visited Presbyterian Church might as well admit them nn certifi cate. That was the logical sequence. Rev.

A propriate action wax taken in the Unit ed Mates Court. of which he bar was also a mem ber. and a meeting of the Pittsburgh bar was held to take notion relative to his death.

In testimony of respect to his memory, I move that this Court do now adjourn. 11. Barber Swope.

Il is with sincere sor row am called upon so early in my connec tion with this court, to discharge No melon choly a duty. To those who have known him long and intimately belongs the office-of fur ther illustrating and honoring his character and memory be such fitting tribute as they may deem suitable. What I have learned of Mr. Hamilton in our brief; intercourse. gives me assurance that I shall join sincerely in that sorrowfurdute.

The young girl at first hesi tat ed. but finally allowed two of them to be examined. They consisted of a hat, rib. Mons, and other small articles which she said were paid for. The other parcel she Ptocltire y refused to show until It Wan taken. In it iwar found a lot of lace. She then attempted to leave the room, but the doors were locked and no one allowed to go out.

The tiler ' ciful proprietor felt a Oily for the youthful criminal and refuted to prosecute. A search warrant, however. was issued and officers Gabby and Shaffer sent to her residence on this side. They returned about ten o'clock. bringing with them several shawls. parasols. hats. ribbons. stockings:laces nnd variety of small articles, to all amounting to over tIOO 'Worth.

The proprietor of the store was noti fied of the finding of Abe goods. but has not vet decided upon the course to be pursued.
