CHURCH UNION.
Dr. Pringle Discusses Conditions In
the Yukon.
Interesting Address Given by Dr.
Milligan, of Toronto.
Winnipeg despatch: Social and moral
reform and Church union occupied the
attention of the General Assembly dur-
ing the greater part of to -day's
soigne, and both aroused the keen-
est interest. The feature of the de.
bate on the former subject was the ad-
dress of Dr. Pringle, in which he ar-
reigned the Government on account
of the conditions prevailing in the
Yulton, Dr. Shearer, who followed
was able to show by se letter from Sir
Wilfrid Laurier that the Administration
was using its utmost energies to re-
press vice at Dawson and the sur-
rounding camps, The Church union
discussion included strong speeches by
Principal Patrick and Dr. Campbell,
practically, the leaders on their respec-
tive sides, and the importance of the
subject was recognized to the extent
of setting aside the ordinary pro-
grantute for the evening and continuing
the argument.
Dr. Pidgeon presented the first report
of the Committee on Social and Moral
Reform,
Moral and Social Reform.
The receipte during the year were $2,-
877.56 in contributions, and disburse-
ments amounted to $201.17 less, The re-
port reviewed the work of organization,
education (in connection with which
special reference was made to the ar-
rangements for "Patriotic Sunday,"
June 28, which it is intended to make
the occasion of a great pledge -signing
campaign among young and old alike
throughout the Church in the interests
of temperance, and of education and ap-
peal in the interests of abstinence frau
the use of tobacco among the young
and of other reforms claiming the at-
tention of the committee), also legiela-
tion as to temperance, gambling, Lord's
Day observance, workmen's compensa-
tion and child labor, further as to ad-
ministration or securing respect for
legislation bearing upon moral or social
reform and evangelistic -effort, In the
latter connection it reported having
asked Rev. Dr. J. Wilbur Chapman, at
the head of the evangelistic movement
of the Presbyterian Church in the Unit-
ed States, to visit and address the As-
sembly. The committee suggests that
lte name be changed to "Board of Moral
and Sicial Refornn," end asks the As-
sembly to appeal to the Church for not
less than $10,000 for the coating year, as
of the $5,000 asked for last year almost
the whole of what was received $2:-
277.10
2;277.10 was expended on four months'
work.
Rev. E. A. Henry, Regina, who see -
ended, mentioned a number of drastic
features in the temperance bills now
before the Saekatchew•an Legislature,
and added a recommendation approving
these advanced measuere.
Board of Trustees,
The report of the Board of Trustees
of the Presbyterian Church was pre-
sented by Mr, Robert Kilgour, Chair-
man. It showed total contributions
to the various schemse amounting to
$600,347.91, as against $400,428,52 last
year.
Church Union,
The Church union discussion began
with the reading of overtures front
a number of Presbyteries conveying
opinion for or against the union.
Principal Patrick presented a reso-
lution of which he had given notice on
Saturday, expressing satisfaction that
the proposed union appeared practic-
able. The question, he said, had been
one of organic union and the negotia-
tions had been curried on on that basis
alone. For the first time the report
of the joint committee of the Metho-
dist, Congregational and Presbyter-
ian Churches was brought in, embody-
ing the deliberate judgment of the
union committee as a whole. Union
would affect congregational liberty
' very little, and eldership practically
the same. The itinerary of the
istry would not' be rigidly applied, nor
would the permanent pastorate, The
probationer would disappear, as would
caudidating," :Che speaker dealt at
some length with various phases of the
subject, including doctrine, polity, min-
istry, administration and law. 011e mo-
tion asked the committee to go on
and complete its labors. Ile knew not
how long that might take, but it
should nut require more than twelve
months. At the end of that period
they might he pule to lay on tae table
of the .assembly the oasis of union,
The committee looked to the judgment
of the people for support. Principal
Patrick "cherished mood as en ideal of
a national Protestant Church.
The resolution was seconded jay Rev,
Dr. Murray, Halifax, citing the :seems
,of previous nunlelte wathin the Yresbkter-.
Ian Church in Canada, and the progress
of similar negotiations in Corea, China,
India, Arfiaa and Australia,
Dr, Campbell Against It.
Dr. Campbell, Montreal, led the Op-
position proposing the amendment pre-
viously mentioned, deprecating the ef-
forts towards organic union. He prais-
ed the work et the joint committee,
but expressed the belief that logic was
not in favor of the union. The eum•ohes
bad already reached the stage of union
and unity that had been in the mind of
Jesus Christ. People had not responded
'to the atmeel for union, indicating an
'attitude of timidity and fear, and he
apprehended heartburning and trouble
when the question went down into the
arena. It would not ]teal the wounds iu
the body of Christ, but create further
divisions. The movement involved com-
promise and departure from time-hon-
ored methods.
Processor McKay, Vancouver, sec-
onded the amendment, and cited the
experience of the Chinch la Scotland
as a treason. lie believed in co -opera -
lion and federal union. The people had
not had an opportunity to consider tine
subject thoroughly, He feared the pro-
posal of Dr, Patrick would divide the
Church.
Dr. Milligan.
Dr. Milligan, Tema°, gave a power-
ful address at the evening sederunt, in
which he declared that the time was
assuredly not ripe for organic union, He
pleaded to postpone the decision, and
let the conmtttee go on with the work,
1t might take ten or fifteen years, but
*the time would be well spent.
The discussion was continued by Rev,
Mr, Stewart, London; Rev. William
Farquharson, Dr, Bryce, and others.
A vote was taken lata in the evening
and the resolution of Dr. Patrick car-
ried by a large ntajovity. This means
the negotiations for the union will be
continued,
NO DIAMOND YET,
Lemoine, the Alleged Swindler, Arraigned
in Paris Court.
Paris, June 15.—Lemolne, the alleged
swindler under arrest on a charge of
obtaining from Sir Julius 'Wernher a
large sum of money by pretending
that he could manufacture diamonds,
and who obtained a remand in order
that he might have an opportunity
of proving that he could do so, was in
court to -day.
Lemoine lengthily explained to
Judge Poittevin the difficulties he en-
countered in installing his electric fur
nate. He accused his landlady, 11'inte.
Clark, of being in league with Sir
Julius Wernher to cause hint to fail
to make the diamond he was to pro-
duce in court. Now everything was
ready. Two hundred crucibles, coat
ing five francs each, had just been re-
ceived. He declared that if he were
grunted a small delay he would prove
himself no swindler.
Judge Poittevin remarked that the
best jokes were the shortest, He had
summoned Sir Julius Wernher for
June 17th, and if the diamond was
not then forthcoming he would send
Lemoine before the Correctional Court.

THREW ACID IN FACE
_ 1
ONE WOMAN ASSAULTS ANOTHER
AND DISFIGURES HER.
An Interesting Case as Showing the
Effect of Suggestion Upon the Mind
—Method Adopted Similar to That
in a Recent Assault.
Toronto despatch: When Miss Eliza
Webb, 20 years old, 5 St. David's street,
was coming home from work with her
married sister, Mrs. Perkins, 95 Paulas
stent street, Inst night, Mrs. Alice Georg-
ina Neeeh, 34 years old, a maned wo-
man, of 76 Pict'-.ia .street, \Vest Toronto,
threw a quantity of carbolic amid in her
face, The liquid happily 1107sed bee
eyee, but the pain was exquisite and the
danger of disfigurement is considerable,
The ease is most interesting from a
criminological point of view, showing
the' effect of suggestion. Last week a
Mrs. 'Taylor was stated to have gone
from the west end of the city to the
east end and lain in wait till Edwaad
Chandler came out from his work. She
then is said to have called him by hie
first name, and when he turned round
she flung the acid full in his face.
There is a striking similarity In the
methoda adopted in the two cases, Yes -
tents afternoon, after buying a bottle
of ear'bolic acid at Powell de Co's. drug'
store in West Toronto, Mrs, Keech left
her home and six children and came
over to the east end. She knew that
Mies Webb and her married sister, Mrs.
Perkins, worked in the Princess laun-
dry, on Parliament street, and that they
would conte south on I'arliantent street,
so she laid in wait at the corner of
Oak street. When the two women were
near she called out to Miss Webb "Liz-
zie," and when the girl turned she
threw the acid in her face. She had
come prepared with a glass cup, into
which she hurt poured the carbolic
Heid, the better to throw it,
A1rs, Perkins called out to Airs, Keech,
"What ' in heaven did you do that
for?" The woman pointed to P. C.
Mackintosh Heroes the road and said:
"My husband will tell you; have me ar-
rested if you want to." Mackintosh
took the woman to the Wilton avenue
police station on a charge of doing
bodily hone.
GOING CRAZY.
Sad Condition of Girl Who Shot
Dr. Auspitz.
Now York, June 16.—Saralt Koten,
who is held in the Tombs prison for hav-
ing
aying shot Dr, Martin Auspitz last Sunday
evening, is in grave danger of losing her
mind, and Dr. McGuire, the prison phy-
sician, pronounced her condition to -day
ns one bordering on insanity. The ef-
forts of iter friends to bring about a
speedy trial to relieve her mind of the
terrible strain under which she suffers
and to get her the official vindication of
a court, which she appears to crave,
have been frustrated by her condition.

death, which was expected to take place
today, was postponed until Tuesday
next,
