holy TRINITY TO APPEAL.
The Defense's Chief Point Not Passed On In
Rev. MIR. Warren's Case.

The Defense's Chief Point Not Passed On In
Rev. MIR. Warren's Case.
There will probably be an appeal taken
from Judge Wallace's decision holding that
the case of the Rev. E. Walpole Warren
comes under the law relating to the importa-
ton of labor, and the Church Of the Holy
Trinity must pay 81. 900 penalty for bringing
him over from England.
Mr.. Seaman Miller, counsel for the church,
said
From the te~legraphic reports Of the de-
cisionI should say that Judge Wallace has
not touched upon the principal points made
by the defense. The demurrer YVES merely a
preliminary test to find out whether or not a
preacher of the Gospel was to be
classed as q manual laborer. In the
report of the committee that framed the bill
against the importation of foreign labor
there is this clause: The committee believe
that the bill in its present form will be con-
strued as including only those whose labor
or service is manual in character.
"And then, if the act applies to the clergy
it Ia to that extent void because ~unconstitu-
tional, for an amendment to the Constitution
reads Congress shall make no law respect
ing an establishment Of religion, or prohibit
ing the free exercise thereof.
How they. get around that l can't see.
Oh, yes, we shall certainly follow up the
case to the very end"
MI. Rowe, Assistant United States District.
Attorney, said An appeal to the supreme
Court, is, of course, liable to be made, but
don't know yet whether or not hat can be
done.n

A brooklyn Mans Experiences ms au once
Holder-He says lie Passed an
tien and Was Then Advised TO Get Let
tiers from Politicians and Join q Ward
Orasnization.
II was 1880 O'Clock when two Of the
Senators who have zone from Washington to
Investigate civil service In the Custom
House made their appearance ut the Post
Office Building this morning.
They we're Senator Blackburn, the fiery
orator from the Blue Grass State, and SEN
ator Spooner, Of Wisconsin, representing the
Democratic and Republican sides of the CON-
mittee respectively.
Senator Hale. of Maine, Chairman Of the
subcommittee. was detained at the Fifth
Avenue Hotel by an attack Of rheumatism.
In the absence of Senator Hale, the chair
was occupied by Senator Spooner, who is O
nervous-looking little gentleman, dressed in
black and wearing q big black and white
striped necktie. He also wears glasses and o
small dark mustache, and does not look more
than thirty Ave-.
tuckian, with q heavy brown mustache, was
dressed in q blue flannel suit and wore spec
tacles.
The Investigation was begun with the read
ing Of the Senate resolution under which the
committee was authorized to investigate all
matters relating to the workings of the Civil
Service law in any branch Of the public
service. with reference both TO the distribu;
ton of offices as a reward for political
service or by political favor. and to the par
ticipation OF public officials in the United
States service in political conventions.
The first witness was John Conway, Of
Brooklyn, who said he was forty-iye years
old and had applied in 1886 for q civil-service
examination FOR the position Of Assistant
Weigher. -.
He passed the examination successfully. his
percentage being SAC, but he was informed
by Deputy Collector Davis, as we'll as by
Secretary Mason, Of the Examining Board,
be q good: thing to get letters from men OF
| prominence or influence in the party.
II was also suggested to him that he ought
| to belong to q ward organization IL he ex-
pected to get a position. He was informed
that Mr.. Murphy, of Brooklyn, had charge
Of the Brooklyn patronage and that he was
the right man to apply to.
He made application for membership In a
| Brooklyn Democratic Ward organization,
| but he didn't know whether he was even ad-
| mitted. He had o good deal of trouble
| about 1t, because he had once been arrested
for voting before he was Of age, and this was
brought up against him. :.
ticians, which he gave 10 MIR. Davis, and on
Oct. so, 1887, he Obtained IN appointment OF
assistant weigher. He held this position
until Jan. "a, 1888. when he was dismissed
without cause.
Several attempts to get q statement of the
charges against him from the Collector, he
said, had been unavailing, and he had never
been able to learn the cause of his discharge,
except that 1t had been for some political
/ reason.

The Delegates Declare, However, That
They are Honest Men, and Refuse 10
Entertain DIR. Baylis's R~eselutiop-Tell-
ers Greatly Surprised mt the Enterprise
of tho Newspaper Reporters.
When Bishop Foster called the General
Methodist Conference to order this morning
all the delegates we're In their seats for about
the first time since the opening day. DR..
Newman was in his customary seat when the
result of the tenth ballot, which was taken
yesterday, was made known.
This ballot resulted in 10 election. There
were 1876 votes cast, and 900 were necessary
to a choice. DIR. Newman received 274; DR..
Goodsell, 267, and DR.. Cranston, ZIG.
The result had hardly been announced
when DR.. Baylis offered q resolution In the
interests of an honest vote. He suggested
that when q conference was called the dele
gates should rise and pass their votes to the
teller, who should then declare the numbe
of votes cast, of which N accurate tally
should be kept.
The members of the Conference would not
hear of such a thing. They were all honest
men, they said, and they did not feel in
clined TO submit to any such indignity.
Amid the cries of Vote! Vote !" n delegate
arose and paid q glowing tribute to the zeal,
energy and enterprise of the newspapers, but
he put it differently. He declared that as the
results of the tenth ballot had been printed
in the morning papers some one of the ~tellers
must have broken his word and given
| away" the vote.
DR.. Buckley, although recognized as O
newspaper man, was also ct q loss to under
stand how such q thing could be, unless some
one had blundered.. K teller here arose and
said that as the charge had been made that
one of their number had disregarded the in
structions of the Bishop and divulged the re-
suit of a ballot, he thought that the charge
should be met.
The Rev. W. I. Cogshall. Of Niles, Mich,
one of the ~tellers, then said do not be-
lieve that any one of the tellers have leaked.
Reporters are too smart for us. They station
themselves at every keyhole, every window
and every corner. We have to keep q strict
watch when canvassing q ballot, We search
every corner, under every table and in every
closet, and even then we find some %enterpris.
ing scribe who has kept tally about as well as
we have"
The eleventh ballot showed that q deal had
evidently been made. Newman gained 2
votes, Goodsel lost "a, Oranston dropped 48,
Kynett gained IS. The result was M follows
Votes cast. 439, necessary to q choice, $50
Newman, 276; Goodsell, ais; Cranston, 1853

Citizen Train has done away with many OF

He began with the reporter by allowing
people to occupy the same bench with him.
This morning he wore his usual ~buttonhole

"Nr, Train, I have lost q penny"
Have you, little one-well. no matter,

And SO the citizen makes the children
