Vancouver Council, scandal.

VANCOUVER. 3. c., Nov. 15.-[Special. -
Considerable excitement has been created
throughout the city py charges made by
Aldermen Gavin and Franklin against
Alderman Michigan, and Health In
spector Huntiey. The charge is that they
falsiiied paw checks and had the money
drawn for men alleged to be acting as
quarantine guards. when such men had
not so served at all. Alderman Michigan
is one of the leading physicians
OF the city, county coroner, govern
ment doctor to the Indians, secretary
of the provincial council, master of ex
chequer of Rathbone Lodge. Knights of
Pythias; noble grand Of the Odd Fellows,
and prominent and trusted citizen. In
spector Huntley has proven himself an
efficient officer. While license inspector
he collected $500 900 for the city in five
years and never went wrong a cent, and
he was also highly complimented by the
royal commission for his careful manage
Inent during the smallpox epidemic.
Both men deny the charges in toto, and
today demand from the mayor full and
searching investigation, as provided by the
city charter. Alderman Gavin, the prin-
cipai sccuser. Is the ex-Canadian Pacific
conductor who earned notorietv by taking
out train during the recent strike. The
citizens generally stand by the accused
and indorse DR.. McGuigan's assertion that
{. is an ants-election dodge TO catch votes.

Hereto Smith Making a Good Defense.


CINCINNATI, Nov. 15.-The trial OF Rev.
Henry Preserved Smith for heresy was
resumed this morning by the Cincin-
natl Presbytery. 1t is believed that
Ptof Smiths defense. read yester-
day, will make serious inroads on
the opposition. and it is claimed that
while there were only three avowed
friends of Smith before the trial began,
there could not now be found In the pres
bytery two-thirds to vote against him.
After a wrangle over the amendment OF
the minutes as recorded by the temporary
clerk, Prof. Smith began the reading
of his defense to the second charge.
namely, that he thought the inspired
author of the Chronicles had been guilty
asserting errors of historical facts and
suppressing sundry historic truths. He
had not completed his defense when DR..
Roberts raised the point of order
that 1T was not proper for Prof. smith
to incorporate in his argument citations
from his pamphlet made by the committee
on prosecution IN its report. Prof. Smith
resumed his argument The strongest
text of all upon which the committee relied,
said he, was that In II. Timothy. lille.
where it is declared that GAN Scripture Is
inspired by God. and is profitable for
reproof," etc. He asked why the COM
mittee did not quote the revised version OF
this text, which reads: Every scripture
inspired of God is profitable" etc. His
argument was that the word inspired"
described the quality, not origin, OF the
the Scriptures. When Prof. Smith con-
Guided he was warmly congratulated by
many friends. The Presbytery will COM
mence repIy tomorrow.

Indecent Democrats Eebuked.

New YORK, Nov. ia procession of
enthusiastic Democrats in Maspeth last
night narrowly escaped terminating in
riot. Some visitors had a wagon upon
which was erected a scaffold, and
dangling from the disgusting emblem
was an effigy of President Harrison. As
soon as the uncanny OBJECT was seen by
local Democrats there were mut,erings of
disapproval, which soon broke out
in open protest. The leaders of
the procession insisted that such
an exhibition was an insult TO
all loyal citizens, who, no matter how
they differed on the question Of politics,
were bound to recognize and maintain tbs
dignity of the Office OF chief magistrate
The etfigy was eventually drawn up the
street and torn to pieces, while the crowd
hooted at the men who planned the affair.

Only steerage Passengers Detained.

WAsHINGToS CITY, Nov. ia circular
is being prepared at the treasury making
an important change in the present immi-
grafton policy. 1t is in effect that the
presidents order of September imposing
twenty days quarantine on immigrants,
is hereafter to be applied only to Storage
passengers. Heretofore all immigrants
not booked and assembled at the port of
departure pr or to September 1 were de-
barred from landing, regardless of " neither
they came in the cabin or steerage. The
change has been made in recognition of
the fact that the only danger at present
from cholera is from persons and baggage
not subjected to the proper sanitary pre-
cautions in transit. 1t is assumed that
Federal and local quarantine will be inn
posed only in cases where vessels and pas
sengers are not in perfect sanitary condi-
ton.
