POSTPONED THE BRIGGS CASE.
A Failure to Arrange Times Gives 1t a
Rest-Assembly Doings.

WASHINGTON, May 29.-The failure of
the contesting parties to arrange the time
for the debate postponed the Briggs case
before the Presbyterian assembly, and the
report on church unity was taken up.
During the discussion Rev. A. \. Hole
field of New Jersey, made a bitter attack
on the Episcopal church, calling it "the
back door to Rome" An expression of re-
greet that such sentiments had been uttered
called forth hearty applause. The Geary
law was resolved to be n contravention of
treaty obligations. y report on women
taking part in church services recon-
mended that such matters be left TO the
wise discretion of the pastors and sessions.
The assembly heard the report on sys-
tematic benevolence, which was satisfac-
tory, the receipts being SEQ ,5G2-high
water mark in the history of Presbyterian
benevolence. The report was adopted. The
committee on overtures reported in the
case of New York and st. Louis presby
teries regarding the deliverance of the last
general assembly on the inspiration of the
script ures in fayOl of reaf1irming the deliv-
GRANGE to the effect that the authority Of
the Holy Scriptures is to be received be-
cause it is the word of God; that this is no
new doctrine, but an expression of what
has ever been cherished and taught by the
standards. a minority report was az
nounced.
AT the night session fraternal greetings
were exchanged with various bodies, and
the committee to see the president regard
ing the Geary anti Chinese law reported
that an interview with Mr.. Cleveland could
not be had before tomorrow. Speeches
were limited to five minutes for the rest of
the session, and the report on young peo-
pies societies was adopted. The rest of
the evening was spent discussing, as to
home missions, whether the missionaries
should be paid monthly instead OF quar-
terly The board was directed to take the
matter under consideration, and if possible
make the change.

TERRE HAuTE POSTofFlcE CASE
Report of the Civil Service Commissi on
on the Difficulty.

Report of the Civil Service Commission
the Difficulty.
WASHINGTON, May 29-The civil service
commission has transmitted to Postmaster
General Bissell the report of Commissioner
Roosevelt upon what is called by the COM
mission the Terre Haute postofiice scandal
Mr. Donham, a Democrat, was appointed
by President Cleveland postmaster at
Terre Haute, Ind, Senator voorhees,
home in place of Mr.. Greiner, Republi-
car. President Harrison's order issued
Just before his retirement from Office
placed the free delivery postoflices of the
country under the classified rules of the
civil service from May 6, 1898. BY repre-
sentations made to President Cleveland by
Senator Voorheesthe date was changed to
Nav 10, and the civil service commission
says that advantage was taken of the post
ponement to try to make a clean sweep.
The report goes on to say that Greiner
made a clean sweep when he took charge,
and strove hard to keep possession of the
Office until after the 18th, because he
wanted to save the Republican employees,
while Domains purpose was to do as
Greiner had done. The claim that Donham
dismissed the old employees because of in
subordnation ais sheer nonsense" He had
been three months canvassing applications,
and had all his men selected before the al
inserted in the blanks appointing the new
men that the old ones were removed "for
the good of the service" This had happened
at p. IN. of the day he took charge, while
the alleged INSTRUMENTATION did not take
place until two hours later and he inserted
the INSTRUMENTATION clause after p. m.
a reason proposed by Voorhees, for post
poninC the date for the new rules to go
into effect was that the local board was
composed of intense Republican partiSanS,
says the report, and he knew no Democrats
who were going before it. The report says
that Voorhees, charge is not sustained by
the facts. The report further says that
Donhan 5 appointments should not be per-
mitted to stand; that no appointments can
be made except after civil service eXamina-
ton, and it recommends that a rule be
adopted that hereafter all rules classifying
a portion of the public service shall take
effect at once. Johnston agrees that the
report shall be sent to the postn aster gen
eral without comment, but disaGrees with
the conclusion Lyman agrees wholly.
