ESPECIAL TELEGRAM TO THE pIsrArcH.l
NEW YORK, Nov. 3.-The trial of Prof.
Charles A. Briggs, who stands accused of
beresy by the Presbyterian Church in
America, through DR.. G. w. F. Birch's
Committee of Prosecution, will begiu to-
morrow in the body of the Scotch Presby-
terian Church in West Fourteenth street.
At 10 o'clock the New York Presbytery will
convene, as the book of discipline provides
10 listen, both as judge and jury to the evil
dence which Prof Briggs defenders and
accusers, who are also members of the jury,
will present
termined as ever to stand by him, and even
if he is adjudged guilty by the Presbvtery
they will not desert him, but will help him
TO fight his case on appeal to the Synod, and,
if necessary, to the General Assembly of
1893. DR.. Birch and his fellow committee
men, who fought so successfully at the last
meeting of the Presbytery to prevent
compromise, are ready now to push the trial
through to the end, and will be satisfied
with nothing but a complete recantation by
Prof Briggs of his alleged heretical
doctrines
The reading of his answer by DR.. Briggs
will be the first order of the proceeding 1t
will be an exhaustive document, and will
take up the charges and specifications sepa-
rately. Here it is that Prof Briggs theo-
logical knowledge is expected to be brought
out, according to his friends, in contrast
with that of the Committee of Prosecution,
whose theological range, DR. Briggs friends
have repeatedly asserted, is not very wide.
A strong effort will probably be made to
have Prof. Briggs answer accepted on the
spot ana the proceedings brought to close
at once. but DIR. Birch and Colonel j. J. Nc
Cook, the fighting elder. are determined to
prevent any such outcome. They have a
strong backing in the Presbytery and they
will insist upon their right to attack the
answer of Prof Briggs. 1t is possible that
the Presbytery may adjourn for a few days
in order TO give the prosecution time to
draw up counter answer. Prof. Briggs has
decided TO conduct his case nersnnallY.

STRIKING MoLDERs GIVE IN.
A Contest OF Years standing Just Ended
in San Francisco.

SAN Francisco, Nov. 3-The strike of the
union iron molders, which began in this city
November 3, 1859, ended to-day, the union
declaring the strike off. The cause of the
strike was the joint action of the IA largest
foundries refusing to recognize the rules OF
the union, which they claimed worked hard
ship TO their industry. About l40 molders
and 40 coremakers were involved
1t is estimated that the strike has cost the
union over Sl00,C01, and three lives were lost
through violence the outgrowth of the feel
ing which prevailed between the molders
and the foundrymen for the time. The
union, in calling the strike of, states that it
is informed that the fonndrymen will not
discriminate against union members and
that no objection is entertained to the
unionfzing of shops, if feasible.

Fighting for Land.

ASHLAND, Wis, February 26.-The rush
for government lands bids fair to excel, in
some respects, the celebrated onslaught on
Oklahoma. In the face of a binding snow
storm, with no shelter, the flers held their
lana office from Friday night over Sunday.
Their determination borders on frenzy. The
man who goes to sleep now is in danger of
losing his place, and there are large numbers
of men standing around to slip in the line
where others fall from sheer exhaustion.
Miss Hattie .knickelbine, who occupies sew
enth place, is allowed to go to a hotel during
the night. She is very plucky and the men
are courteous to her They were standing in
straw and benches are being distributed along
the line, which affords some relief. A long
tent made of blankets, sheets and overcoats
covers about half of the line now. Albert
Vincent, at the head, has received several
oilers for his position, refusing one of $1,000.
Immense crowds are attracted by the sight.
Two men from Duluth crowded into the line
ahead of their proper places, and there are
murmunngs along the line that they will be
mObbed unless they take their proper place.
The rush is even greater than that at Wau-
sau, as the land is much more valuable, and
the line was formed two days earlier. Many
of those in line went through a similar expe-
rience at Wausau, and the awful exposure
and loss of sleep Is telling on some of them.
Haggard and benumbed with cold, they can
hardly lift their hands. Hot coffee and sand
wiches are dealt out to them from temporary
lunch counters, Ahich have been erected close
at hand. Among those in line are large
number of settlers who have come to nile on
the land upon which they have squatted, and
which they wish to make secure by filing.

Dun's Report.


NEW YoRK, February 24.-R. G. Dun &
Co.'s weekly review of trade says:
The failure of the American Loan and
Trust company has caused some disturb
ance, but the event has no widespread infiu-
ence. The tone of reports from other cities
IS generally favorable.
Trade Is of good volume in spite OF bad
weather at st. Louis and fairly healthy at
Kansas City. st. Paul and Minneapolis
have active trade, though in flour output
there is the usual decrease for the season.
At Omaha trade is fair but collections rather
slow; at Milwaukee 1t Is improving. Chi
cago notes large increase in wheat move
ment. but heavy decrease in dressed beef.
lard, hides and wool; sales considerably
above last years in dry goods, clothing and
boots and shoes and satisfactory collections
The tributary region Is cosidered healthy,
confidence strong and money plenty among
dealers
At Cleveland and Pittsburg some improve
ment in iron is noticed, the latter reporting
finished iron IN good demand and blooms
stronger, the coke strike having some intiu-
ence-
The decline of silver below 81 per ounce,
at one time S71z cents, discOurages those
who were looking for a speculative boom IN
prices Wheat IS I cent lower, with sales of
15.OOO. 600 bushels, cotton q quarter lower,
with sales of 677 600 bales, and oil 39s cents
lower. Corn and oats have advanced = a
cent each, and hogs a shade. The exports of
cotton continue above last years as well as
the receipts, but wheat and flour exports fall
far behind and the movement in provisions
shows little increase. In January the ex-
ports of cotton, breadstuffs, provisions, cat
tie and oil were SCI, 549, 5S5 in value, against
S56.375, 724 last year, which points TO heavy
excess of exports over imports for that
month, but the later advance in sterling ex-
change and the moderate outgo of gold indi-
cate that the merchandise balance is out
weighed at present by the return of securi-
ties or the withdrawal of other capital previ-
ously invested here.
To this movement probably the laws passed
or pending IN some western states contribute.
thus the Kansas house has passed a bill to
tax all mortgages. notes and bonds, making
them not cOllectable unless stamped by as
SCISSORS. This and other measures cause
There is a stronger tone in the iron mar
ket- The coal market IS depressed by the
enormous output, thus far 9S4 ,OO7 tons, or
nearly 30 per cent. greater than last years,
and tin and lead are both weaker.
During the past week the treasury has
taken in all together about 5000, 600 more
than it has paid out. The outgo of currency
to the interior appears to have begun, how
ever, notwithstanding the fact that at almost
every other city the money market is easy or
growing easier, and scarcely one now reports
the market close.
The business failures occurring throughout
the country during the last seven days num-
Der S95, as compared with a total of 297 last
week. For the corresponding week last year
the figures were 27l.

A WondarfuI Find

DENVER, Col, February 26.-News has
reached thi city of one of the most remark
able discoveries in America of the present
year. The find is an alabaster quarry, the
ledge being of great thickness and extending
for miles in the foot hills, near Canon City.
A party of gentlemen who have visited the
place say that blocks of any size that it is
possible for the ingenuity of man to handle
can readily be quarried.
The specimens shown vary from the per-
feet white to every possible tint of the ram
bow. Some of it will stand a pressure of
1000 pounds to the square inch, and it takes
on a most beautiful polish. portion of it
makes most merchantable plaster of paris,
while the brown varieties can be used in an
hydraulic cement Rumor has it that Dutch
New York and St Louis syndicate has an
option on the property at what sounds like a
fabulous price.

Twelve Stories Too High.

MINNEAPOLIS, MINI, February ga fire
started in the Claire Speaker paint works on
Fifth street, and has proven to be the most
disastrous fire Minneapolis has experienced
in years. The damage to property may be
nearly 81, 900. 600, most of which is to the
Lumber exchange, a magnificent twelve story
block at Fifth street and Hennepin avenue.
The Robinson block and the Russell block,
the latter owned by Sol Smith Russell, and
the Archer are completely ruined.
The fire caught in the upper stories of the
Lumber exchange, which was claimed to be
fire-prouf, and burned tiercely.
The water did not reach above the seventh
or eighth stories, and the tiremen were nearly
powerless.
st. Paul was called upon for aid and re-
sponded with two engines. The thermome-
ter was at zero and the intense cold
delayed matters a great deal, as the
hose kept freezing, and nearly every time a
wheel crossed 1t the hose burst.
Occasionally from the wall of the upper
floors there was a shower of rock, followed
by a loud report.
This noise was caused by the bursting of
some great stone. For time these followed
in rapid succession and then grew less fire.
quent only to increase in number again when
the fire grew intensely hot at some particular
point.
The fire department succeeded in confin-
ing the fire to the four upper stories Of the

ran Raat SUGAR MIns rhIa Yaar.


TOPEKA, March DIR. L. Schrindtweiler,
of Cologne, Germany, IS here in the interest
of the beet sugar industry. He expects to
spend year in investigation as to the adapt
ability of the soil and climate to sugar beet
culture.
He said. ''My plan is to establish ten sugar
factories in the state. each being in the cen
ter of district, which will be fourteen miles
square. If everything is satisfactory we will
make 1000 tons of sugar in Kansas next
year.
81 am satisfied that the climate is just what
we need, and if we can secure water we viii
have no difficulty. We can ran our factories
$50 days. The factories Will cost about $11O,-
900 and will have a capacity of working up
400 tons of beets per day, and will employ
150 men"
Mr.. Schrindtweiler will go to Manhattan
to confer with President Fairchild, of the ag-
ricsltural college, and others at the expert
ment station in references to future expert
ments.
He seems very sanRuine concerning the
success of the industry in Kansas. He has
worked at the business fifty years, and from
what he has seen thinks the west especially
adapted to the industry.
