Knows ITherror He Spraks as to American Anglophnblnm. New Tork, May 27. Chauncey M. Depew has nothing to take back from the Interview that called forth criticism from Bishop C.C.McCabe, of the Metho dist Episcopal church. He said:- "I said that in England I had found a sentiment of decided friendship for this country. There was a feeling that blood was thicker than water, and that the two nations should not go to war. In this country, on the other hand, I saw a decided spirit of antagonism. 'It was Fhown first In the eagerness with which the country applauded Cleveland's war message at the time cf th? Venezuelan trouble. Later it was shown In the defeat of the arbitration treaty a measure which I strongly fa vcrcd and in the very listless support of It. Not long ago a United Slates senator told me that but for the effect of It upon the Republican party lie would favor war with England."

All That the Presbyterians Now Have to Look After. ULTOETAFT BUSIUES3 ABOUT D01TE Many of Those Attending- Lraring the Ground! Women Complete Their Meet ings, and Commissioners Inclined to Posh Things from Now On Talk of the .Location of the Next Gathering Winona Pats In a Bid Matters Tp Yesterday. Eagle Lake, Ind., May 27. The exodus from the general assembly has already begun. Yesterday the meetings of the Women's Foreign Missionary executive committee closed, and the number of those who left at once was considerable. The number of visitors brought by tbe fine weather made up for the lack, but a slimmer attendance at the evening popular meeting was very apparent. At coon the grounds about the auditorium were dotted with picnic parties, and bright colors replaced the more sombre hues that had been in evidence earlier. The assembly has got through vith meat of its sensational work and has settled down to business. The desire to get to the end was seen In an un wiliir.nc?a to endure long debate, even upon important matters, and this fail ing will find more frequent manifesta tion hereafter. Lccatiun of tha Next Aswmblr. Calls for invitations for the next gen eral assembly have been made. Winona assembly is in the field making the body to return, but the probability is kthat mere commissioners will favor Philadelphia. One cf Winona's argu ments is that the location is so favora ble that it saves about G.000 in mileage alone. The plea of Philadelphia is that the new Wilherpoon building of th2 beard of publication will have been fin ished, and the assembly should visit the Quaker City to Inspect its proper ty. The decision will not be reached for a couple of days yet. Yesterday morn ing the assembly heard the report of he foreign missionary board with Its long lists of figures, places and persons, and its review cf the work done. Vies Moderator Wanamaker presided over the assembly in place of Dr. Jackson. Forty missionaries from foreign lands who are on leave of absence sat on the Platform, and a number of them made brief speeches before the noon adjourn ment. I'ublicitinn and Sunday Rehool Work.

Umpire Hurst was In the hnr.ds of a mob after yesterday's lxall game and was saved serious In Jury by the Pittsburg players dragging him Into the club house.
