Presbyterian assembly's opening hour
drew near this morning there was much
more than the usual attendance. The
interest in the Briggs case was strong
enough to bring not only to bring out
much larger attendance at the opening
prayer service, but to fill the galleries
withlnterested spectators. By the time
the hour for the business session ar
rived the church was filed. There was
no suppression of excitement while the
reading clerk ran over the minutes
of the assembly, which no one
heard because of the hum of
conversation, and when the min
utes were read the assembly squared
away for the battle with heresy, which
has divided interest in this assembly
with the report of the committee on the
revision of the standard of faith. Rev.
+. l.. Patton, D. D., took the floor in
support OF the report of the committee.
He would like to eliminate from the de-
bate the personal element. He recog-
nized the learning OF DR.. Briggs. He
was his friend. The directors of the
seminary elected DR.. Briggs in good
faith and could not be blamed for his
subsequent utterances. The real Ques-
ton was whether the assembly had any
right to veto a transfer of a professor
from one chair to another. The infer
ence was the right existed. The assem-
bly, was the supreme tribunal of the
Presbyterian church and could not
shlrk the responsibility of put
ting a construction upon that compact.
He pleaded that the appointment of a
committee as contemplated by the re-
port was recognition of the rights of
the directors. The conference on COM
mittees might bring solution of the
whole question by settling which party
was right in its construction of the con-
tract. If they could not be settled thus
1t could be arbitrated. He pleaded the
cause OF the committee. 1t might seem
strange to see him in the role of the
champion of liberty, yet he is. He was
a professor and felt for his class. If an
appointment was not acted on at once
1t should be put out of the power of the
assembly to hold threat over a man
for years. In the interest OF fairness
he wanted to say that personally he
had not put line in the way
OF Or. Briggs. He would be
unwilling that resolution should be
adopted at this time which should de-
clare that Dr.Briggs was unfit to preach
or that he was hereto. If the Pres
bytery of New York shall prosecute
DR.. Briggs the case would finally come
to the assembly as the court of last re-
sort. Sixty-three presbyteries had
asked that DR.. Briggs position ON doc
trInal points should be inquired into.
Was this the kind of man who should
be confirmed by even passive action?
The time for adjournment arrived, but
upon motion Dr. Patton was allowed to
finish his remarks. He claimed that
DR.. Briggs and his friends not being
able to understand and explain what
appeared in the inaugural, therefore DR..
Briggs was an unsafe man to allow to
be confirmed. The assembly must alb
SOlutelY veto now or never.

JORDAN, Minn., May 2S.-This town
would feel a good deal more cOmforta
bic to- night if it had a company of mill
tia on guard. Great excitement has
prevailed all day over difficulty be-
tween the city and the Minneapolis &
st. Louis Railroad company. The trou
BILE arose over the council ordering the
street commissioner to tear up the
switches, passing tracks and spurs of
the company in the city,as the company
constructed them six years ago without
obtaining permission from the city, and
right on one of the principal streets.
Last evening the company filled the
side-tracks with empty cars to hold the
tracks down. and sent in about thirty
section men from along the road
to prevent the removal of any
tracks. For a time it was feared a
riot would take place, but as no move
was made on the part of the city, no
disturbance occurred, and this morning
the railroad company served a writ of
injunction Oh the city officials to pre-
vent them from removing the tracks.
The men have been here all day, and
the train still remains, but the work of
removing will be very likely discon-
tinued by the city until the courts set
tie the matter.

THIS IS SENSIBLE.
Salisbury Will lLikelyAccept Uncle
Sans Proposals.

WASHINGTON, May 2S.-Ihe presi-
dent this afternoon received cipher
dispatch from Minister Lincoln at Lon
| den. saying that official notice had been
| given in the house of commons that
| bill would be introduced Mon
| day to authorize the queen to prohibit
| British subjects from taking seals Sin
Behrlng sea. The question engaged
the presidents principal attention to-
day and he had conferences at differ
ent times on its various phases
with Secretary Foster, Secretary
| Tracy, Secretary Proctor and Acting
| Secretary Wharton. One point considered
| was the adyiSability of sending war yes
| sells to Behring sea to reinforce the rev.
| enue cutters in preventing the taking of
| seals in case closed season is decided
| upon. This fleet would, of course, CO.
operate with the English war ships now
| in those waters in the enforcement of
the agreement as concluded. 1t is UNDER
stood that the secretary of the navy
reported that there are three naval yes
sells that could be prepared for this serv-
Ice without delay. The news of Mr..
Goschen'S action was received with sat
isfaction at the state department. Gen
orally IL is taken as an indica-
ton that the British government
is preparing to accept the con-
dition imposed by the presi-
dent as preliminary to arbitration
and cause the British vessels to refrain
from sealing meantime. The fixed
period for the cessation of sealing, re-
ferred to by Mr.. Goshen, probably
means the remainder of this season.
During this time the arbitrators for
it is to be presumed that the
British governments action carries
with it an acceptance of the terms of
arbitration held out by the president
during the correspondence, will have
an opportunity to reach an agreement.
In the event that the point of arbitra-
tion is not reached, it may be that the
same time will be consumed in sending
an expert commission to Alaska
to investigate the actual condition
of the rookeries and settle the question
which is still at issue between the
governments of Great Britain and the
United States as to whether what. is
known as "pelagic sealing," or kill
ing seal in the open sea on their
way TO and from the shore
rockers Is really as destructive
of seal life as has been reported by the
United States treasury agents. In the
British parliament a measure of this
kind was presented to-day, is of privi-
and takes Its place above other meas
ures introduced in any other manner,
and is almost sure to receive speedy
gctiOn.
LONDON. May 2S.-Hon. George j.
Goschen, chancellor of the exchequer,
in the house of commons to-day gave
notice that the government would in
troduce q bill Friday which would
enable the queen to prohibit British
subjects from catching seals in the
Behring sea for a period the extent of
which will be stated when the bill is
brought forward.

CHANCE FOR CIVILIANS.
An Examination Will Be Held
for Would-Be Soldiers.

WASHINGTON, May 2S.-Secretary
Proctor will probably appoint board
of officers to-day or tomorrow to
conduct an examination for the admis-
sion of civilians to the army to fill vacan-
cies now existing among commissioned
officers. He has decided to have the ex-
aminations held here some time in June.
There are now about 100 vacancies,
sixty-fye of which will be necessary to
accommodate the cadets of the class
that will graduate from the military
academy June IL. There are also
about fifteen non-commissioned Off
GERS to be raised in rank, leaving
the other commissions to be contested
for by the civilians. The secretary
has deemed it wise to limit the conIpeti-
ton to forty candidates, and TO this end
there will be severe physical exam,
ination proceeding the mental ex-
animation, designed to reduce the
ranks of those presenting them
selves to that limit. There may

New YORK. May 2s.-A reporter called
upon DR.. Briggs and conveyed to him
the information that DR.. Patton's COM
mittee had reported unfavorably to him.
Dr.. Briggs expressed no surprise. When
asked his opinion of the action of the
committee, he replied: II have moth
ing whatever to say. This is the first
information that has reached me touch
Ing the matter; in fact, have had
absolutely no communication with
Detroit since the assembly began its

ton of my health, but chiefly because it

ments whatever while the assembly is

He expects to return about the middle
of September. He will spend the in
tervening time at Oxford, where he has
planned to pursue special line of

WASHINGTON, May 2s.-"It is time
this government did something in the
matter of regulating immigration" said
Gen. GroSvenOr, chairman of the COM
mission, recently appointed by Secre-
tary Foster to investigate and re-
port upon European emigration to the
United States. Just what is speci-
t1cally expected of the commission"
continued the general, 81 don't know, for
we have lot yet received our instruc-
tionS, but l do know that there is press
ing necessity for action on the part
OF the authorities. Never was
amy country the receptacle for
such stream of emigrants as is pour
ing in on us now. All our previous
records as a receptacle are being
eclipsed. The increase. which has be-
come so apparent of late. has its origin
principally in Southern Italy, and as
most of the material now arriving
is non -assimllatives, something must
be done. The labor organization
complain that sufficient employment
cannot be secured for the people al
ready there, and there is very general
demand for more rigid immi-
grafton laws. The country is rap
idly becoming too strongly tainted with
foreign odors. Take Wisconsin as an
lnstance-a state that is almost Euro
pean province. The people there demand
the conduct of the schools IN foreign
tongue, and give other marked evil
dences of their alienism. In little
while they will insist on having the rec
ords of their legislatures kept in their
non-American language, and on top of
this will come an endeavor to have the
courts operate in the languages native
to other lands than ours. This is all
hose who will not be of u.s."

JURY BRIBERs.
Belief That New Orleans VIII Give
Them q Fair Trial,


New ORLEANS, May 28.-When the
McCrystal and O'Malley bribery cases
were called to-day. their attorney SUBJ
mltted motion for change of venue.
The state introduced a number of
witnesses, including the leaders
of the committee, Messrs. Parkerson
and Hauston. They testified that thev
believed the accused could obtain fair
trial here. In concluding his testi-
mOny Mr.. Parkerson said: II believe
OMalley can get fair trial. The peo-
pie of New Orleans have been long-suf-i
fering and patient. The fact that
MIR. OMalley was walking around
the streets OF the city and had thrown
defiance in the face of the communityl
was the best evidence that the accused
could obtain fair trial. There was in
this community an immense preju-
dice against jury brlbers and per-
jurers, and as OMalley was gen.
orally regarded as both of these.
there was, very naturally, prejudice
against him. Notwithstanding this IL.
required twelve men to try case, and
twelve men could be secured in this
community to give O'Malley a fair,
trial" Mr.. Parkerson admitted having
said Leave O'Malley TO our committee
and we will attend to him. Before all
the testimony had been heard Mr.. Henri1
Ques, of counsel for defense, abandoned
the motion for change of venue, and
asked to have the case fixed for trial
June 10, as he desired to be absent from
the city until that date, but the states
attorney objecting, Mr.. Henriques then
gave notice of withdrawal of the
plea of not guilty and stated that
he would make demurrer similar
TO that sustained by the court in the
case against Granger, in which the in
formation was auashed on the ground
that the allegations set forth were not
sufficient. The McCrystal and O'Malley !

and committee of twelve was ap-

a change OF venue is unnecessary. Ex-
Senator Humes created sensation by
bitterly attacking Delamater, and
mourning that Chinese justice to
broken bankers could not be metgd out.

The Redskin With the Equine
Name Is Acquitted.


SIOUX FALLS, S. D., May 2S.-Plenty
Horses is a free Indian. No inkling of
the sudden termination of the case had
been given, and at o'clock when court
convened, attorneys were preparing to
commence their arguments when Judge
ShiraS said: There is no need of going
further with this case. What | shall
say is the opinion of this court, but not
of my colleague. 1t is said of my own
responsibility" The judge then read
in substance that guilt or innocence of
the accused turned upon the question as
to whether or not a state of actual
war existed at the time of Casey's
death. In the opinion of the
court it has been shown beyond
a doubt that such state of war
did exist. Immediately upon adjourn
ment Plenty Horses was surrounded by
ladies and other spectators, who shook
hands with him for some time, after
which Attorney Porter, with beaming
face, led his still silent and undemon-
strative client to his hotel, where Plenty
Horses spent some time writing auto
graphs for byStanders. The testimony
given by Capt. Baldwin, aide of Gen.
Miles, was an important feature in
establishing the important fact as to
war. He came with all the official
papers OF the war department bearing
upon the circumstances previous to
and at the time Of Casey's death, and
although the documents had only been
offered by the defense and their admis-
sion not yet been decided by the court.
the captains own testimony was of the
same character. AT noon to-day White
Moon, the Cheyenne scout who was
with Casey at the time of his death, and
who has been here as witness, at

the base Of the neck. He was home
sick and despondent. He is not seri-
cusly hurt, and will recover.
