NETHOUSAND FIVE HUNDRED SPEECHES.
DIR. Briggs will Have to Listen to Them
All Before He Knows Whether He Is

DR.. Briggs will Have to Listen to Them
All Before He Knows Whether He is
Guilty or Not.
New York, December Tt was nearly
o'clock when DR.. George f. Birch re-
sumed the reading of his argument TO
prove the heresy of DR.. George A. Briggs.
The fifth, which was considered, was q
charge unlike it's predecessors, and is
specific. DR.. Briggs is accused Of teaching
that "Moses is not the author Of the Penta-
teuch, which teaching is contrary 10 the
direct statements Of Holy Scripture and to
the essential doctrines OF the standards Of
the church"
A formidable array of Scripture texts
were adduced in the printed charges to
show the falsity of DR.. Briggs theory
"Dr. Briggs biblical story" said Dr.
Birch. "had not ghost Of an excuse for
publication. He maintains that one must
study the Bible in the original, but if the
authorized version is insufficient, what are
unlearned people to believer
"The prosecuting committee" said he,
''do not oppose conscientious criticism Of
the Bible, for that book itself says search
the scriptures But the criticism Of DR.,
Briggs suggests universalism. The COM
mittee are Just as anxious that DR.. Briggs
should be acquitted II his teachings are
orthordox as they are that he should be
convicted if his doctrines are contrary to
scripture"
When the case goes to the jury, the Pres
bytery will sit with closed doors. Each
member, as he votes on the charges, may
give reasons for his vote. There are over
one hundred and thirty members of the
court and each mas the right to explain his
vote on each charge AS there are twelve
divisions of the charges upon which sepa-
rate votes must be taken, it follows that
there are over fifteen hundred possible
speeches to be delivered before verdict
can be reached. 1t does not seem possible
considering, that there are but four sessions
open each week with three hours to each
session, and that the result Of the Briggs
trial will not be known before the middle
of January.

WASHINGTON, d. D., December z. There
are a number Of very desirable positions in
the Senate which will be at the disposal of
the Democrats if they have majority Of
the members Of that body in the next Con-

the front for these places, and among them
is Capt. J. S. Hassler, prominent clerk
OF the Interior Department under Cleve-
land who is West Virginian but who has
lived In the Dakotas the last three or four
years. Capt Hassler would like to fill the
place Of Sergeant-at-Arms of the Senate,
which pays the comfortable salary of 81, 800
a year and has good deal of patronage.
Capt. Hassler has already begun an active
campaign for the place and as he is popu-
lar gentleman and has many warm friends
here, there seems no good reason why he
should not get it. What Senatorial back
ing he will have cannot Of course, be stat

Evidence Was Ruled Out.

BERLIN, December 7.-During the pro-
Qress OF the trial OF Rector Ahlwardt, the
notorious anti Semitic. who is charged with
slandering Herr Loewe, Hebrew MANU-
facturer of small arms, the Court refused
TO allow the admission Of certain. evidence
which Ahwardts counsel proposed 70 sub
NIT. Counsel for the defendant thereupon
announced that he withdrew from the case,
as the bench would not allow him 10 ad-
duce the evidence necessary 70 clear the
client from the charges made against him.
This action caused quite sensation In
the court The public prosecutor charac-
terized the conduct Of the counsel as most
unseemly and demanded that the court
punish him with the greatest r!gor. When
Ahlwardrs counsel heard this he ostenta-
tiously collected his papers and left the
court room.
The presiding Judge fined the counsel
100 marks for improper behavior.

told them that he had gotten the papers
that were evidence against him and de-
stroyed them, and that he didn't care a
damn who knew it. The Belleville officers
testified that they knew of no such man as
the witnesses named in the certificate.
The bank officer testified to having paid
CIouston $l52.40 for the certificates, and
that seven of the ten certificates were sent
back by the Auditor unpaid, and that
Clouston had paid back to the bank $40 in
August.
A great deal of interest is manifested in

ENGLISH NERVE.
The British Flag Up in Baltimore in Honor
Of Cleveiand's Election.

BALTIMORE. Nov. Republicans here
are very angry because British subject
presumed to celebrate the election of Cleve-
land. The Englishman is Capt. Thorpe.
who has charge of all vessels at Locust
Point. When the news came that the
Democrats were successful. Capt. Thorpe
requested the captains of the steamsh. ps
Baltimore and Govno, who are now IN
port to decorate in honor of the occasion.
The shippers ordered their crews on deck.
ordered up the English ensign, and covered
the wards and masts with bunting. When
the sailors were through the two steamers
looked very gay. The display attracted
the attention of the residents on shore, who
asked the cause of the demonstration.
II am celebrating the election of Cleve-
land, replied Thorpe,
But what in thunder have You to do
with Cleveland?" queried customs inspec-
tor. You are British subject"
II suppose | am, answered the captain
Are we not benefited by his election as
we'll as the Americans
This answer made the Republicans angry.
The Democrats were almost equally angry
A. Americans they thought the fight was
distinctly local one, and did not hesitate
to agree with the Republicans that this was
case of English presumption. The story
reached the custom house in due time, and
there, as well as elsewhere the action of
Capt. Thorpe was severely criticised.
Finally it was brought to the attention of
Patterson, Ramsey 4 Co.. agents of the
Johnston line. to which the Baltimore and
Govno belong. Mr.. Ramsey is re,i-hot
Englishman. but he forthwith went TO Lo-
Gust Point and ordered the bunting re-
moved. The ships poles are now bare of
bunting, but the Locust Pointers are as
angry as ever at Capt. Thorpe.

MALIETOA AND MATAAFA.


WAsHl>GroS, Nov. i3.--Advices re-

differences between the two factions headed

phase.
TO fully protect the interests of the
nited States, il has been decided that q
naval vessel should be sent there at the
earliest practicable moment.
beside this reason, based on expedieney
it appears that under the terms of the tri-
partite treaty the nited States is under
obligation to keep naval vessel at Samoa.
There has been no Uri,ed st ties war vcs-
sci there for many months. the Iroquois be

comfy of the BehriDg sea fleet and now

quirc about a months time TO prepare the
vessel for the trip, and another month or
six weeks for the passage, so that she will
not be able to reach Samoa before next
