The Presbyterian Assembly Votes
Unanimously Against Him.

PORTLAND, ORE.-The Presbyterian
General Assembly votes unanimously to
sustain the regularity of the proceedings
of the Committee OF Prosecution of DR..
Briggs in bringing their appeal directly
to the General Assembly without delay
ing to he first heard by the Synod of the
Court of Appeal.
This is great triumph for Col John

committee, and for DR.. George w F.
Birch, its chairman. All the noise that
the defendant raised below this point

the vote was taken, as well as all of his

1t is now stated in select but usually
well informed circle that 10 matter what
may be the outcome of the trial of Dr..
briggs, he will within six months lcaye
the Presbyterian Church and go into the
Church of England. If this is so, it will
be because DR.. Briggs must have found
in his visit to Oxford, Eng, last year,
more congenial atmosphere than he ever
expects in America for the exploitation
OF his theories of redemption after death

A CHICAGO WIND,
Tall Building at the Coruer of Hafsted
and piercc Streets Mreckeh.

and Pierce streets Wrecked.
CHICAGO, H., April AT about ESQ
O'Clock this evening the sky, which had
been threatening all the afternoon, be-
came black as night, and in another
minute terrible cIoudburst occurred.
The wind blew at a hurricane rate, and
drove the rainin sheets along the streets,
sweeping every movable object before
it. The wind was of cyclone force, and
at the corner of Ilalsted and Pierce
streets tore down a house and killed
three people. Serious damage is re-
ported in various parts OF the city,
but it is not yet known If 9TH
er casualties have occurred. The
building at Halsted and Pierce
streets was seVen-stOry brick
structure. 1t was surrounded by one
and two-story frame and brick buildings,
the homes of humble laborers, and
crashing upon them instantly crushed
out the lives of three unIortunates and
fatally or seriously injured many 9th
erS.
The ruined building, scarcely com
pleted. was said by many TO have been
improperly and poorly constructed, but
Fire Marshal Sweenie. who had in
spectej it at various times during its
erection, states these remarks to be
false. The fact that the building
was new and that the mortar was
scarcely dry. Is sufficient reason for lis
collapse, be saws, when such high
wind struck it, The loss from the de-
struction of the building is about So
600. The losses sustained by the crush
ing of the smaller buildings are not yet
estimated.
During the storm a two-stOry frame
building on Prairie Avenue just COM
pleted and occupied was demolished and
another tWo-story frame structure on
Nebraska Street was tern 10 pieces, but
no one was injured. Reports are COM
ing in from various sections OF the city
Of trees, telephone and electric light
poles and outbuildings blown down and
houses unroofed \ large number of
residences and snail business houses IN
course of erection were moved from
foundations, and III many instances
razed to the ground. The total loss
from this seemingly wholesale destruc-
ton cannot be estimated tonight, but

QUIETLY DONE.
Chinese Exclusion Act Passed by the
Hnuse Thirty Minutes.


WASIINGToN, April A bill held by
friends and foes alike to be one of the
most important now pending in the
American Congress was passed by the
House of Representatives to-day after
only thirty minutes debate. The hill
in question is commonly known as the
Chinese exclusion bill and was reported
by the House committee on foreign
affairs, and to-day taken up on
motion of Mr.. Gcarv. OF California
Mr.. Geary said that the Chinese govern
ment, both through It's officers ut home
and in this country. had done every
thing in its power TO violate the spirit OF
the treaty Messrs. Herman, of Ore
gon, and Cutting, of California, also
favored the bill, and after debate 1t was
passed by vote of 1e9 ayes to 43 navs.
The bill absolutely prohibits any
Chinese, whether or not subjects
Of China except diplomatic or
consular officers and servants
from entering the United States, and
the Chinese who may hereafter leave
the nited States are prohibited from
returning to this country. 1t makes
liable to arrest, upon warrants issued 10y
any Justice, Judge or | nited States COM
missioner. Chinese entering the United
States by crossing It's boundary lines, or
found unlswfullv in the United states,

Of the Chinese by imprisonment not ex
ceeding five years and subsequent re-
moyal from the nited States TO the
country from whence they came; pro-
vided, that when they come TO the
United States from China by way ofcon
tinuous foreign territory they shall be
returned to China. The act applies To
subjects of China and all Chinese, even
if subjects of any other foreign
power. \ proviso allows the
secretary of the treasury to
admit Chinese, other than labor
ers or artisans, TO temporarily visit the
United States under such rules as he
may prescribe. The last clause repeals
al! acts inconsistent with this and sets
aside the provisions of all treaties now
in force between the nited States and
China which may conflict with the pro-
visions of this act Violations Of the law

placed in their hands to fortify them
selves IN permanent positions. The
Wisconsin Democrats thought, of course,
that they were making themselves i'm
pregnable when they cut up the state
into Senate and Assembly districts so
arranged as to give them control of the
legislature thereafter. SO utterly re-
ga1dtess were they of the principles of
justice and right, and even of ordinary
common sense, that they overrode the
constitution, paying no heed to county
or town lines or any other consideration
except that of so carving up the state as
to make their own party supremacy Sc
cure. They overdid it. The decision
of the supreme court, consisting of
three Democrats and two Republicans,
has defeated their cunning scheme and
brought all their smartness to naught.
IL Is settled that though a political party
coming suddenly into control and de-
slrOus above all things to make Its pos
session of power permanent may do
pretty much anything it pleases 10 in
trench and fortify itself, it must have
at least some slight regard for the
limitations and requirements of the
organic act.
1t is not pretended that Democrats
are alone in the disposition TO make an
doubtless the selfish instinct of all par
ties to reach out for such advantages
when opportunities occur. But expert
enCe certainly proves this, that no party
ever exhibited such indecent precipi-
fancy, such overpowerlng greed and
such absolute disregard of even the ap-
pearance of Justice and right on such
occasions as the Democratic. 1t is al
ways their first business, when by accl-
dent or fraud or honest votes they ar
rive at power, to devise some legislative
trick by which they can maintain their
hold. The history of the party shows
this to be their invarlable rule. If self
preservation is the first law of nature,
self-perpetuation is the first law, the
governing principle, the absorbing, all
embracing thought and aspiration of
the Democratic party. In no state
where it has had the opportunity 10
carry gerrymandcr has 1t failed to
make that its first business and to do it
promptly; sometimes with a halfway
pretence of fairness, but usually with
brazen shamelessness and no attempt to
conceal the purpose.
The people in the main are honest
and square They don't believe in
gerrymanders or in trickery and sharp
practices. In the end that sort OF busi-
ness does not pay, whoever undertakes
it. The Wisconsin gerrymander has un-
doubtedIy hurt the Democratic party
instead of helping it, and we believe
Mr.. Hills smartness in this state, about
which he boasts so constantly, Will have
the same effect in the end. .-NetU York
