A Lively Discussion in the Presby-
terian Synod of New York.
ALBANY. N. Y. Oct. 20-The Presby-
terian synod is in session here. The Judicial
committee to-day reported as follows on two
complaints Of DR.. Briggs and his friends
against the action of the New York presby-
terry: 1.-The committee find the complaints in
order, but recommend that it is inexpedient
to take action at the present time for the
highest court has taken action covering the
points at issue and the lower court IL now
proceeding under it.
The following minority report was also
submitted: 1--WE, the undersigned MEM
bers Of the judiciary committee, to whom
was referred the complaint signed by Fran
cis Brown in behalf of himself and others,
would respectfully report that we heartily
agree with and coincide In the report OF the
majority except as to the recommendation.
We do not join In the recommendation of
the majority. Ia view of all the cIrcum-
stances Of tho case, we deem It
unwise and inexpedienb as coming
from the judiciary committee Signed,
Rev. George 3. Spalding Of Syracuse, Rev.
r. d. Sproull of Brooklyn, Elder l.. T.
Hamilton Of Bridgeport, Elder Horace
Briggs Of Buffalo"
The majority report was signed by the
remaining eleven members Of the commit
tee. The difference between the two re-
ports is shat the miaority report makes nc
recommendation, but siInply brings the
case before the synod for its action. A hot
discussion followed the receipt Of the mi-
noritY report, which lasted until the ad-
journment. The matter will come up again
tomorrow.

WASHINGTON, Oct. 2O.-This.was a par
ticularly sad day at the white house, where
all the days are sorrowful now It was the
anniversary Of that happy wedding thirty
nine years ago, when Benjamin Harrison
and Caroline Scott were made man and
wife. Mrs. Hsrrison's condition has not
materially changed for week, but her life
is slowly ebbing away. The gloom that
pervades the household seemed deeper to-
day as the happy wife Of the President and
his wife was called Co all their minds by the
anniversary, aud they could not help con-
trasting the happiness that has gone before
with the sadness of the present hour. The
President saw no one and remained indoors
all day long except for a short walk in the
afternoon, during which he was accom-
panied by Mrs. Mckee and Mrs. Dimmick.
There was larger number Of kilograms and
letters Of sympathy received to-day than is
usual.

Her cough, which had ceased to trouble her,

lag as IL does in paroxysms, has a very de-
pressing and exhausting effect on the pa
tient and tends Co reduce her
vitality. Mrs. Harrison passed q
comparatively quiet day and did
not suffer 80 much from nervousness She
experienced more difficulty than usual, how
ever. in taking nourishment, which she has
heretofore taken with systematic regularity.
Although she Is In such very weak state,
yet her physician said TO might that he did
not apprehend any immediate fatal results,
and thought it probable that by morning
she might rally and regain some Of her lost
strength.

WASHINGTON. Oct. 20, II p. M--At 10
o'clock Mrs Harrison had rallied somewhat
from her severe attack of prostration and
DR.. Gardner said she was resting a little

Weaver, the Peoples party candidate for
President, spoke this afternoon to a large
crowd. The general related q number of
Incidents OF his southern trip The solid
south, be said, was solid no longer. Whites
who have always voted the democratic
ticket will very largely vote the Peoples
party ticket this fall The speaker said he
honestly believed that with fair ballot
and fair count a majority of the whites in
every southern state would this fall cast
their votes for the peoples
ticket, but there has been intimi-
dation and unfair work. Rut this landslide
to the Peoples party, the speaker
oontended, is the only thing which can as
sure a FREQ ballot. The Republican party
has controlled the federal government ever
since tbs war, with the exception of four
years, sRd has never succeeded In remedy

from the outside, the reform must come from

there mad been violence and eggs, but be

at the democratic headquarters says: "For
Brooklyn the registration foots up $780, ,0S4
names, as against 118 ,3l4 In 1888. This in
crease Of 1l,770 is more than the normal
gain through the growth Of Brooklyn dur.

registration on Wednesday, that the figures

ARMY oFgIosRs IN CONGRESS-.
Their Eligibility Never Passed on By

Their Eligibility Never Passed on By
the War Department.
WASHINGTON, Got. 20.-The question of
the eligibility to congress OF retired army
officers, as presented in the case of Gen.
Catlin and Gen. Sickles, nominated by
the democrats In New York for congress,
appears to be a new one and excites much
interest," at the war department.. The legal
officers of the department say that the ques-
tion has never been presented to the de-
department in like form and consequently
there is no precedeRt to serve as a basis of
opinion. In an opinion given July
IL, 1877, Attorney General Devens held that
"a retired officer of the army does net
vacate his commission by accepting a civil
Office unless ID be an Office in the diplo-
matic and consular service" This decision
of course applies to all civil offices, includ-
ing those within the gift of state or mu-
nicipality, but the general opinion at the
department is that In the case of repre-
sentative In congress the constitution makes
an army officer, active or retired, ineligible
unless he surreHders bis commission.
