DIssusted the Athletic cIuB-Ths New
Orleans People Didn't onsr $4,000.
NEw ORLEANS, La, Dec. 2s.-A prom
inent member Of the Crescent Athletic
Club, the only competitor,of the coney
Island Club for the Bdrge-M McAulife
fight, said to-day:
9In the first place, the Crescent Ath-
letic Club never offered $50, ,000 for the
fight. Captain Williams, our repre-
sentative, was authorized TO offer $20,-
900. which he did. He made this propo-
sition 70 McAuliffe, who went to the
Coney Island officials and told them
our offer was $4,000. This induced the
big bid Of the ooney Island. They
found out tho trick and, OF course, were
,disgusted. The self.importance dis
played by McAuliffe disgusted them
still further and the proposition was
withdrawn never TO be made again.
President Noel, of the Crescent Club;
received telegram this morning from
A. Cook, Of Boston. one Of Burgess map-
ayers, saying that Burge would meet
McAuliffe before the New Orleans club,
now that the Goney Island is of.
Mr.. Cook said the Crescent would
make no further offer for the Bnrse and
McAuiffe fight right away, but heIcould
not say what they would do in the tu-,
ture. He said that should the club see
a chance to make match between the
men, on a business basis, they might
enter into negotiations.

THE nRIaes ngREsY CASE.

for the Accused Profstsor
NEW YORK, Dec. 2s. The heresy trial
OF DR.. Charles a. Briggs, in the New
York presbytery, will be resumed this
afternoon, but it will be apriyate ses.
sion, thesexton and the official steno-
igrapher being excluded with the public,
the defendant and sheprosecuting COM
.nlittee. It is possible that the first
part Of the meeting will be public, as
the parties are allowed to be present
until the members Of the court entitled
to vote, are decided upon.
If the rules covering the private ses-
sion proposed by DR.. o. L. Thompson
are adopted the roll will be called and
each man will have an opportunity to
express his views on the case ito ex.
ceed ten minutes. The voting on each
charge will then begin. Several mem-
.bers, not present at all the sessions, will
be readmitted to-day II there Is no OBJ
lection, but single man may keep out
any one who has not been present dur
ing all the trial.
So far there has been only one test
vote by roll call, and then the ministers
were evenly divided and twom more elders
voted against the motion offered in DR..
Brigg 5 favor than voted for5it. While
the Arguments made since May have
changed some votes, It is probable that
the final decision will be close. a
prominent minister estimates that the
majorityin DR.. Briggs favor at the end
will be 10or IL. 81
A dispatch from Cincinnati says: In
the recent trial of Prof. Smith, DR..
Roberts, alsoa professor in Lane Semi-
nary, was asconspicuous at the start for
his energy and activity on the side Of
those opposed to Prot. Smith. Towards
the end OF the trial, however, matters
evidently became uncomfortable or un-
pleasant, for he withdrew. Dr.. Roberts
has not for some time been in harmohy
with the majority ofthe present board
of Lane Seminary trustees, and there
have been rumors Of various ulisunder-
standings and differences Of opinion.
at all events, it is reported that the ex-
ecutiye committee, at Its meeting last
week, finished Its labors by addressing
a note to DR.. Roberts saying that his
resignation at the end Of the year would
be acceptable.

DE REINAoH NOT A SUICIDE.


No Poison Ponnd in His stomaeh-The
Case Regarded as Settled.
PARIS, Dec. 2a-The rumors concern
ing the death Of Baron de Relnach and
theorizing in regard to it were proved
this morning to have been utterly base
less. The report made by DR.. Brouardet,
who has charge of the autopsy, was
made public to-day. 1t declares that
the analysis Of the viscerh revealed not
the slightest trace OF poison, and the
conclusion arrived at by DR.. Brouardet
and his colleagues is that the baron's
death was due to natural causes. The
report, though It is official, Is regarded
with suspicion in certain quarters.
There are persons who openly ex-
press the belief that Raron de Reinaeh
was murdered, and the official report
to the contrary does not shake their be-
lief. Against this, however, stands the
reputation Of DR.. Brouardet. Those
who know him declare that nothing
the government could o1er him would
induce him to attach his nano to O
false report, and ifHsuch a report was
secretly decided upon he would not in
any way be a party to II.
The report Is eagerly discussed, and
in governmental circles IS taken to end
forever all question as TO the baron's
death. The De Reinach family, tits
supposed, will accept the report as
fnal, as II removes from the baron
the stigma of suicide.

punched McG whenever he pleased.
Billy continued to punch McGrath,

River and Harbor COnferees
Split on Two Points.
ONE OF THEM THE LAKE CANAL,
Tho House Passes the FOrtifications
Appropriation and Then Takes
Up tho Tin-Plate Bill.

WASHINGTON CITY, June Is Especial. l.
The conference committee on the river
and harbor bill held an all-day session to-
day and disposed of the remaining four
amendments to the bill, the Senate this
morning receding on one and the House
on the other. The two remaining amend
ments were the Lakes Union and Wash
ington ship canal and the boat railway at
The Dalles. After an all-day session on
these two items the committee agreed to
disagree and make a report to that effect
to the respective houses, and asked for
further conference. The conferees spent
four days on the bill. They acceded to
the % per cent. cut in last years appro-
priation for contract work. The Oregon
bill appropriates $ls7.5O for the improve
ment of the Columbia at Three-Mile
rapids. including the construction
of boat railroad around the
Dalles. with authority to make contracts
for completion of the work, at a total cost
of $2,672, SIS. 1t is said that Mr. Blanch.
ard has made the statement that the
House will instruct its conferees not to
agree to these amendments, and particu-
larry to the boat railway scheme. 1t is
understood that when the report is made
motion that the House recede from its dis
agreement, but it is likely that Mr.. Blanch-
ard, being chairman OF the river and har-
Dor committee of the House, will control
the action of that body
1t IS said that the House conferees claim
that the boat railway project will endanger
the bill, but it is thought that this is done
in order TO scare the Senate, for with the
large appropriations for the Mississippi
river contracts, and also the large sums
appropriated for the river and harbor i'm
provements in the Southern states, it is
doubtful if the Democratic House would
dare to kill the bill because of this one
item. 1t is possible, therefore, that when
the additional conference meets that an
agreement will be reached by which the
boat railway at The Dalles and the Lake
Union and Lake Washington ship canal
will remain in the bill. Senator Dolph
SAYS that if The Dalles improvement is
killed the people of Oregon can thank
Governor Pennoyer and the Democratic
House for it.

In the House.

WASHINGTON CRY, June 15.-After the
transaction of routine business the House
went into committee of the whole on the
Notifications appropriations bill. Brock
inridge, of Kentucky, briefly explained its
provisions. 1t appropriates 81, 412.372 be-
ing 81, 1862, 427 less than the amount of the
bill of last year, and authorizes the secre-
tary of war to make contracts for certain
work involving a further expenditure of
$1.3l6,OO0. After remarks by Grout, of Yer
mont, the committee rose and the bill was
passed.
The House then went into committee of
the whole on revenue bills. The first bill
called up was by Shively of Indiana. 1t
was the bill to reduce the duty on tin
plate. Shively's speech elected good
deal of applause from his party colleagues
and was attentively listened to. White of
Iowa made his maiden speech, favoring
the bill. After remarks by O'Neill of
Pennsylvania and Raines of New York
the committee rose and the House adj
journed.
