Cleveland. accompanied by Charles Jeffer-
son and Editor Davis of the Philadelphia
Ledger, went down in the direction of Cape
Charles tonight for two weeks rest from

make any appoin tments until after he was
lnaugurated. 1t is thought that Cleveland
and his party are going hunting, their
exact destination being unknown.
The Evening Post of this city to-day
printed what is claimed to be an interview
with Mr.. Cleveland, In which the President
elect is represented to have said: 81 desire
TO give as much publicity as possible to the
statement that do not propose to consider
applications for Office prior to my inaugu-
ration, and shall avoid all interviews on
that subject. Those who under
any pretense gain an opportunity To

who burden me at this time with
written applications. cannot possibly do
anything which would interfere more with
their chances Of success. Written applica-
tions will be so little regarded that doubt

absent on vacation for about Two weeks,

from the opportunities of office-seekers, he
would close his city house and find some

THE SMITH HERESY CASE.
1t Is Clear That the Court Is Not
Friendly to the Pastor

CINCINNATI. Nov. 22.-The entire MORN
ing session OF the Professor Smith heresy
trial was taken up with arguments on the
question OF the suffcieney OF the charges.
The test votes taken on the preliminary
questions arising in the case show strong
majority opposed TO Professor Smith. The

taught that minister may abandon the
essential features of the system of doctrine
held by the church, which he had re-
ceived and adopted at his ordination, and
still rightfully retains his position as min
lister in the church. Smith objected to this
charge as not specific. The objection was
lost. 10 TO SO. Then the presbytery took up
specification one under the charge, stating
that he had taught in an article in the New
York Evangelist that acceptance Of doe
trines was only required of ministers at the
time OF taking their ordination vows, and
specficat ton TWO. which asserted that he
had taught that whether a minister de-
parted from the doctrines can only be de-
termined by judicial process. To both Of
these specifications Smith objected that
they were insufficient in form and legal ef-
feet and did not support the charges. The
objection to the first specification was not
sustained-25 to 81. and the vote on the
second specification was % to 80.
In order to make the action positive Rev
DR.. Bryan moved that the court declare the
first charge and specifications sufficient In

SACRAMENTO. Nov. 22.--The State Ant
debris Association held session here To-
day. While it was executive, some of fts
proceedings were ascertained. The cnuu-
ties represented were Sacramento, Yolo.
C0lusa, Yuba, Sutter and Glenn
Resolutions were adopted declaring that
the association intends to fight hydraulic
mining TO the bitter end, that it must cease,
and that the ant-debris counties are in
earnest and are willing to spend money In
the prosecution Of miners who persist in
dumping, ,sllckens into the rivers.
The fact was developed in debate that the
anti-debris people are not arrayed against
hydraulic mining as an industry, but only
when it in njures them. All agree that II the
debris could be successfully restrained they
would have no further fault to find.
TIE Csminetti mining bill was brought
up but not discussed. The members of the
association, however. are understood to
look kindly on the bill if its provisions
are all carried out 1t was decided
to go ahead with the prosecution
of miners who are surreptiti0usly
hydrauicking and polluting the rivers.
Robert T. Devlin of this city was chosen
attorney for the association. The litigation
already commenced by several valley
counties Will be continued under Devlin's
direction.
1t was expected that report would be re-
ceived from the committee appointed under
the temporary organization some time ago for
the purpose of investigating the scheme for
restraining debris. The committee, however

THE WETnORE'S CAPTAIN.
The r1aster of the WhaIeback Found
Guilty of Negligence.


SEATTLE, Nov. 22-The Board of Local
Marine Inspectors last night gave a de-
cison holding Captain John A O'Brien
whaleback steamer Charles w. Wetmore on
the night of September 8, eff Coos Bay,
and has revoked his license.
The decision says: 1T appears by the
courses and distances given by Captain
OBrien that the ship ought to have been
nearly forty miles off shore at midnight,
September 8, but half an hour after mid
night she grounded off Coos Bay. the cap
tain claims that he found her position by
observation some eight hours before she
struck; that his position agreed with his
position by dead reckoning, and the ship
was set ashore by a strong easterly cur
rent, together with a heeling error. By
these causes he accounts for the strandiny
OF the vessel. 1t is apparent that Captain
O'BrieD's observations were not cor
rect. 1t is evident that if the courses
given by the compass were steered they
were not made, and we have no doubt that
close observer and careful navigator
would have noticed the change in the
water and the character of the swell in time
TO have changed the ships course and to
have taken her out of danger. We think
there Is no reasonable excuse for running
the steamer ashore on this coast in fair
weather. even though il be foggy. bad the
ship been carefully navigated she would not
in our opinion have stranded. Had the
ships course been changed 10 southwest.
