EMPHATIC DENIAL.

The Secretary of the German-American
Priest Society on the Lucerne Petition.
ST. LOUIS, June 5.-The published
report that the Deutsche-A American
clergymen's society of this city was the
author of the so-called Lucerne petition
to Pope Leo XIII. in reference to the
immigration of Catholic priests in
charge of immigrants to this country
has called out from Rev. William
Faerher, corresponding secretary of the
society, the following sweeping denial:
81 hereby formally and officially de-
clare in the name of the Deutsche-
Amerikanischer Priester-Verein that
said society was in no way whatever,
directly or indirectly, connected with
the so-called Lucerne memorial; that
said society had not the least idea of its
existence prior to its being made pub
lie through European cablegrams and
American papers, much less ever oo-
casioned its origin"

WAsHINGToN, June 6.-Gen. James
G. O'Berne, deputy commissioner of inn
migration at New York, who is in
Washington comforting with the treas
ury officials about immigration matters,
says the new immigration law, while
effective as far as it goes, is not yet
comprehensive enough, and that con-
gress will be compelled to amend
it next winter. The law, he
thinks, lacks the positiveness
usually given to health boards. Some
thing, he says, will have to be done to
prevent the arrival of unskilled laborers
who displace Americans in order that
corporations may pay less wages De-
spite the contract labor law men who
have been foremen or superintendents
go abroad and secure large gangs of
men. bringing them over to this country
in detached sections and keeping Sc
cret the matter of their contract He
says, also, that this state of affairs
can only be remedied by the watchful-
ness of officers of the labor unions, who
can aid the immigration bureau by no.
tifying it at New York or Washington
when gangs of workmen appear in their
town under suspicious circumstances.
The facts would then be investigated
and the men, if they came here under
contract and are discovered within a
year, can be returned to the country
from whence they came

Stand.
LEAvENwoRrH, Kan, June 6.-The
wife and daughter of Benson, on trial
here for the murder of Mrs. Mettman,
have repudiated him. John Mettman,
husband of the murdered woman, was
on the stand yesterday. He testi-
fed that he gave all his earnings to his
wife, the murdered woman He saw
her for the last time Sunday evening,
March 25, 1890, at 5 o'clock, in the
yard. He was fixing a swing for
Mrs. Rautzahn's children. a boy of
and girl of 5. Mrs. Rautzahn and
Henry Mettman, the son, were at home
at the time. Mrs Mettman wore a
dark complicated suit" he said, and
they were both in good humor-he and
Mrs. Mettman. He saw her leave the
gate due east He next saw her the
day she was buried while he was un-
der arrest. This was the Sunday fol-
lowing. He did not remember that she
took anything with her and noticed
nothing unusual in her manner. They
had been married thirty-four years.
He had married her in Platte county,
Mo.
Cross-examined by Judge Webb the
witness testified that they had always
lived together pleasantly. Eight years
ago she had tried to get divorce, but
she took it back. She didn't get the
divorce. They didn't get married
again They had lived apart for three
months.
Mr.. Webb asked if this trouble was
not due to his drinking habits and his
bad treatment of his wife?
Judge Riner interfered here on the
ground that this was hardly relevant
Mettman went on to say that he was
under arrest three weeks, but did not

BRIGGS SUSTAINED.

The Directors of Union Theological Sem
mary Defy the Veto of the Presbyterian
Assembly.
NEW YORK, June 6.-The directors of
Union theological seminary have met
and declared their position on the ques-
ton of the right of the general assem-
bly, of the Presbyterian church to veto
the transfer of Prof. Charles A. Briggs
from the chair of Hebrew to the chair
of biblical theology. The resolution
passed at their meeting held yesterday
afternoon is as follows:
Resolved, That the board of directors,
after having taken legal advice and
after due consideration, see no reason
to change their views on the subject of
the transfer of DR.. Briggs, and feel
bound, in the discharge of their duties
under the charter and constitution of
the seminary, to adhere to the same.
The intent of the vote passed by the
general assembly at its recent session
in Detroit was that DIR. Briggs should
cease to be a professor in the Union
seminary. The effect of the resolution
given above is that it is the judg-
ment of the directors that the veto
was a usurpation of powers never given
or intended to be given to the general
assembly. and that since the veto was
illegal. the appointment stands, and DR..
Briggs will continue as professor dur
ing the coming year as during the past
seventeen years.
The fact that a struggle was in prog
ress behind closed doors was evident
when Prof. George A. Prentiss stag
gered out into the hall after the discus
sion had been under way for two
hours. and nearly sank to the floor
through weakness brought on by over
excitement The venerable professors
body shook like leaf and he had to be
assisted to a private room until he had
recovered Then DIR. Hastings left his
place in the meeting and accompanied
the professor to his home.
Only one ballot was taken on the
resolution and the vote stood 20 to 2 in
favor of its passage. The directors of
the seminary express ignorance as to
the duties of the committee of fifteen
appointed by the general assembly, but
say that they will receive them with
all the courtesy possible when they
visit the city.
It is evident now in the face of the
present action of the seminary directors
that the visit of the general assembly
committee will be useless.

money. He sent a messenger from q

purchase him railroad and sleeping
tickets home and rendered two new five

that it was the old dodge being worked

NATIONAL TREASURY.
An Offer to Extend the Four and q Half
Bonds at One and 4 Half-The Treasury
Well Supplied-The Circulation.

bonds at One and q Half-The Treasury
Well Supplied-The Circulation.
WAsHINGTON, June 4.-Notice has
been given by Secretary Foster that the
principal and accrued interest of the AZ
per cent. bonds issued under the acts Of
July "a, 1870, and January 90, 1871, out
standing September 2, 1891. will be paid
at the treasury of the United States on
that day, and that the interest on the
bonds will then cease. Suggestions
have been made on the part of the hold
ers OF some of these bonds of a
desire to extend the payments at the
option of the United States at the rate
of IL per cent. per annum, and the
secretary of the treasury will hereafter
consider whether the acceptance of
such offers of them will be profitable to
the government and in that event re-
serves the right to except such bonds
from this call.
1t is Off cially stated that the sugges-
tions as to the extension of the AZ per
cent loan added to the call made to-
day is made more as a matter of prece-
dence than of necessity. The treasury
department. it is said, is abundantly able
to pay all of the S51, 900. QUO - per cents
outstanding. but in view of the uncer-
tainty of future receipts and expendi-
lures it is judged better to take the side
of safety. The secretary not only be-
lieves that he has ample means to de-
fray all the expenses of the govern
ment. but is confident that he will be
able to retire a considerable amount of
the public debt in addition to the 1886,
O00, 900 already paid during the present
administration. One of the purposes
in suggesting an opportunity to extend
the maturing loan at a nominal rate Of
interest is the desire to avoid the en-
forced retirement of a part or all of the
S23, 600. 900 national bank circulation
now secured by the AZ per cent bonds.
During the month of May there was
a net decrease in the circulation of SIS,
0SS, 324 There was an increase of
$1,000. O26 in silver treasury notes and
$4s4, 71O in subsidiary silver. but a de-
crease of $40. 766. 400 in gold certificates.
