The announcement was made this even

to submit to the investigating committee the
documents connected with the prosecution
of the Panama canal directors. The rea-

NEW YORK, Nov. 29.-The Senate COM

to-day. The proposition that immigration,
except from North and South American
countries, be suspended for one year from
March, 1898, was considered, and there is
good reason to believe it will be adopted
tomorrow. The com mmttee decided that it
was advisable 10 submit to Congress the
propositions as follows: That no immi-

between the ages of - and 55 years unless
he can read and write freely his native
language, nor shall any person above the
age of 55 years be admitted VINO cannot

to the Late Minister.
New York, Nov. 25.-1he Herald's Paris
correspondent sends the following: Every
thing that has occurred within the past
three weeks has been in consequences Of
COnstans' desire to become President Of the
republic and avenge himself on the Minis
tiers, his late colleagues. To bring about
their fall he first attacked NJ. FloQuet He
will soon attack President Carnot in person,
his relation.
Constans accuses him of not having
shown due care in scrutinizing the report Of
the engineers sent 10 Panama. He reck ons
upon the investigating committee to make
1t difficult for Rouyier, Minister of Finance
and Roche, Minister Of Commerce, his col
leagues. who did not resign, to continue to
hold their portfolios.
When Constans set about 1t he found
means to compromise ali in the Panama
Canal affair.
Now we know how General BOuIanger,
who was looking out for opportunities, was
made corrupt. At the house of the late
Baron Reinaeh is a volume containing
copies Of letters. This book was found in
trunk in which were the papers Of Bou-
LANCER which brought about his condemna-
tion.
Constans. seeing that they had not sufi-
cient political Importance for fight against
Boulanger sm, kept a copy of the letters.
Now here are the documents which have
originated all the scandal.
This is the actual cause of the Ministerial
crisis. At present we have less than a
hundred Deputies compromised. For all
that we shall soon have a Presidential
crisis. just because Constans wants TO be
avenged and become President.

REV. MR.. SMITHS HERESY.
The Cincinnati Presbytery Approves
the Charges and Specifications.

CINCINNATI, NUv 29.-The entire fore
noon session Of the presbytery was spent
in discussing the sufficiency in form and
legal effect of the third charge and specifi-
cations against Professor Smith. At the
afternoon session a vote was taken on the
question and it was sustained by 40 to o.
The vote showed that two members of
the court, Rev. Hugh Gilchrist and Rev. c.
Il. Walker had come over 10 the side of the
accused Walker, in discussing the matter,
said that If all ministers holding Smiths
views are to be subjected to trials the pres
bytery will have enough heresy trials to
keep it busy for three years.
The committee then asked to amend the
first specification by inserting an additional
citation from Smiths pamphlet. Smith OBJ
Jected that this deprived him of the right
to ten days notice of the presentations of
charges aud specifications. and after hot
debate the amendment was disallowed and
the specifications approved. The court is
now ready for the formal trial.

The Investigation by the Presbytery
Starts Out FavorabIy for the Pro-
feSSor-A Decided Vote.
Special TO THE MORNING CALL.

NEW YORK. Nov. 29.-The presbytery
this afternoon resumed the trial Of Professor
Briggs. The floor was at once accorded the
prosecuting committee TO state lis position
on Professor Briggs objections To the
charges and the demand that numbers four
and seven be stricken out. Colonel McCook
read the opinion of the committee on the
motion and argued that the two charges
could not be dropped In reference to
charge Z, Colonel McCook said that Briggs
answer was irrelevant, because, although he
affirmed before the professors of the Union
Seminary that he believed that one who died
unpenitent was forever lost, he had since
promulgated his theory of progressive
sanctifcation in his inaugural address, aud
II was on that address that the charge was
founded. The fourth charge could not be
dropped because Dr.. Briggs denia. Of ..Is
fuhllment of the details Of prophecy was a
denial of the truthfuness of the Bible and
an impeachment OF the omnipotence OF God.
After further discussion DR.. Alexander's
motion to strike out charge was taken
up. Professor Brown OF the Union Sem
inary, and the foremost of Briggs sup-
porters. said the committee had acted un-
fairly In quoting part of Briggs statements
and taking them out OF their proper con-
nection. ANY minister" he said fervently,
could be proved heretiesl by this course"
DR.. Hastings, the venerable president of
the faculty with which the defendant is
connected, did not mince words in claiming
that the charge contained new matter. Said
he: "The change made in the charge is
radical. 1t gives the lie direct to DR.. Briggs
and there is no getting around it by casu-
istry."
Avote was taken and the motion was car
rled by vote of 20 to 40 The seventh
charge suffered the same fate by about the
same vote.

be entered on the record in behalf of the
prosecuting committee. The meeting then

English Belief that Something nust

LONDON, Nov 29-Referring TO the pro-
ceedings of the monetary conference the
Daily News says:
The Rothschild plan that seems to
have saved the conference from colIapsing

heroic. theoretically it would be best to

posed that such a result would bo dsas-
trous. We cannot suppose ii to be remotely
suggested that 95 notes will be make re-
deemable In silver. The most striking part
OF the plan is the implied belief OF first-class
fnanciers that unless something is done
America will discontinue the purchase of
silver America is, perhaps, the richest
country IN the world and cannot be ignored.
Were she to sell silver we might be COM
PEELED to close the Indian mines. Even

Brutal Murder i'm MerCed
County.
FEARS OF rIOB VIOLENCE.
A Quarrel About a Road Leads to One
Of the rIoSt Shocking KILL
ings in Years.
Special to THE MORNING CALL.

NEWMAN, Nov. 29.-The most brutal
murder in the history of Stanislaus County
occurred ten miles southwest of this place
last night The unfortunate is Thomas
Atkins. an Englisman by birth and about
so years of age. The murderer is Robert
Harmon. an Australian, about the same
age.
The trouble which led to the killing was
quarrel about road that passed through
Atkins land. Atkins had forbidden Har-
mon crossing his land by this road, and
yesterday as Harmon was returning home
from town In company with his friend,
Peter " orthy, Atkins came out as they
passed his place TO demonstrate with Har-
mon about crossing his land. At that time
they had many hot words over the matter,
but did not come to blows. as Worthy urged
Harmon not to have any further trouble.
The two then proceeded to Harmon's cabin
and Atkins returned home.
Shortly after Harmon got home he asked
Worthy to return with him to Atkins cabin
and they would settle the matter. but as
Worthy refused to accompany him he went
alone.
In about an hour he returned and told
Worthy that he had had a fight with Atkins
and knocked him down twice. and that the
last time Atkins did not get up, SO he came
home.
AS rain began to fall Harmon again re-
quested Worthy to accompany him to
Atkins place to see that Atkins got to his
cabin ali right. This time Worthy ac-
cepted the Invitation, but when they got to
Atkins cabin they found him dead.
Harmon then came TO town and gave
himself up.
Coroner Phelps of Modesto was tele-
graphed for and went to the scene of the
murder this afternoon, but finding it was in
Merced County did not hold an inquest.
They found the body OF Atkins as reported,
but instead of being hit with fist, as Har-
mon had claimed he had used nothing else,
his skull was mashed in in three or four
different places and battered almost beyond
recognition. 1t looked as though his wounds
had been made with the back of an ak or
some such instrument.
HarmOn's reputation is generally known
to be tough, and the chances are that he
will go across the bay for the res: of his
days. Atkins body was taken to Modesto
this evening by Coroner PHELPS. He will
telegraph for the Coroner Of Merced County.
Robert Harmon was also taken to Modesto
this evening by Sheriff Purvis. The excite
ment is quite high and Harmon seems to
