WASHINGTON, D. c., May 27.-The
postpouement of the trial Of Prof.
Briggs by the General Assembly until
Monday next Is said to be largely due
TO an inability of the parties to decide
upon the amount of time they shall ask
ia which TO present their case. Upon
the trial the commissioners OF the Pres
bytery OF New York, who were shut
out Of the debate on the Ques-
tion of the entertainment Of
their appeal will have an
opportunity 10 be heard in defense or
explanation OF the action OF the body.
So far. Prof. Brown said this morning,
the consultation had been as 70 the time
to be asked by the Presbytery, and he
could not say or even guess what the
request woulh do. DR.. Baker, chairman
OF the judicial commission which has
charge OF the preparation OF the case
FOR trial, said that no statement had
been made to the commission by the
parties and he could make no estimate
OF the time that would be occupied in
the trial Mr. Cook, OF the prosecuting
committee, said, 10 response to Ques-
tion on the subject, that the commission
would probably ask four and q half
hours to present his case. This would
include the time used in reading ex-
tracts from the record, and the time &C.
cupied by the commission might be con-
Slderably less. Prof. Briggs has made
no statement yet of the time he wants.
Until the requests Of the parties are re-
ceived by the Judicial Committee il will
be impossible to even approximate the
time that the General Assembly will
give TO the trial of the case. Pertinent
Ia this connection is declaration made
by State Clerk Roberts this morning
that the entertainment fund OF the As
sembiy was sufficient TO give every COM
mission 81. so a day for another week.

New ORLEANS, May 27.-Early this
morning the body, in its copper recep-
tacle, was transferred 10 magnificent
oak casket, with heavy brass trimmings
The cedar coffin in which the remains
originally rested, was returned TO the
vault, and it was closed with the mar
bic slab upon which was the fac-simile
OF the signature Of Jefferson Davis, and
IL will remain in that condition as long
as the tomb OF the army OF Northern
Virginia stands.
The transfer was made early and
privately at the family request. The
body was naturally decomposed, but
was in fair preservation and face re-
eognizable.
The guard OF the army Of Northern
Virginia veterans remained at the tomb
all day.
At three o'clock a mounted escort OF
the Northern Virginia Veterans arrived
and shortly afterward the escort con-
Quoted the casket in closed hearse 10
the Amphia Hall, which was reached at
6:l5 a. N. Here the casKet was re-
ceived and placed upon catafalque
and exposed to public view. Major j..
Taylor Ellyssn and the Richmond dele
CATION followed the hearse In car
rlage. and the Virginia veterans met
the cortege near the city and marched
the rest OF the way behind the hearse.
The casket will remain al the Memorial
Hall. guarded by confederate veterans
until about five o'clock tomorrow after
noon, when the escort will take charge
Of the remains, and leave at 2 p. m.
for Richmond.

North Baltimore Bank Closed.

TOLEDO, O., May 27.-The Peoples
Bank Of North Baltimore closed Its
doors this morning. The announce
meut was made to the depositors that
Cashier Waldo had gone to raise money
to meet ali liabilities and that II would
reopen. The closing is precipitated By
the failure Of Charles Foster, who Is a
heavy stockholder. This bank has
many thousands OF dollars OF deposits
of oil operators and producers, and II
il is q failure, as everybody supposes,
their losses will be heavy. A tremen-
dous run was started on the Frst Ma
tional bank, the only other bank In
North Baltimore, but it is promptly
meeting all demands as fast as pre-
sented.

at 10 O. No., so that Chief Justice Fuller,
who is expected here on that day, could
occupy a seat on the bench.
The Assistant District Attorney,
Hand, now had the bill ready for Ming,
and together they went into the othce
of the Clerk of the Court. Here Mr..
Milchrist made affidavit before the
clerk and signed the bill, which was
then taken into the writing room and
impressed with the seal Of the office.
The entire proceeding occupied but a
few minutes, and only a few newspaper
men and officials engaged in the case
were present.
Whatever the final outcome, the BILL
will have no effect on the initial opening
tomorrow.
The bill says the Chicago Worlds
Fair corporation, at the dedication Oc-
tober l, 1892, delivered the site and
buildings into the possession and con-
troll Of the National Commission for the
United States. 1t was provided in the
act OF August 5, 1892, that all apPropri-
ations mape in that act to the exposi-
tion were made upon the coalition that
the exposition should not be open 10
the public on the first day Of the week,
commonly called Sunday. and that il
the appropriation should be ae-
cepted by the exposition it was
made the duty of the National
Commission TO make such rules
or notifications of the rules OF the local
corporation as would secure the closing
Of the Exposition on Sunday. The bill
adds that Sunday rules made by the
Directory in October was modified by
the Commission, and provided explicitly
for the closing of the Exposition and
the gates thereof on Sundays. This
rule, it is claimed in the bill, is still in
force, and neither the Commission nor
the Directory together, or severally,
have power to abregate it. The bill
says the contemplated opening OF the
gates "will be a great injury and a
grievous prejudice to the common pub
lie good, and to the welfare OF the peo-
pie of the United States"

A FEELING OF UNEASINESS
In All Branches of Business at Fostoria
Money Very Tight.


CLEVELAND, O., May 27.-A special
to the Plain Dealer from Fostorla says:
The situation here to-day, so far as
the Foster failure is concerned, pre-
sents but little change from last even
Ing. There is a general feeling OF un-
easiness in all branches Of trade, but
very little excitement is noticeable in
the streets or elsewhere. Gov. Foster
said this morning that he had no new
statements TO make, but would walt
now for Assignee Gormley to make his
report.
The banks here have, so far, with the
exception of Foster 81 Co., experienced
no trouble and the Mechanics Bank
upon which something Of a run was
made yesterday, report that they are
receiving more deposits to-day than
they have paid out, and on Monday
they expect TO open up a general bank
ing company.
Money Is very tight here, however,
and the greatest trouble is apprehend-
ed from the fact that loans are very
difficult to obtain, and business men
who. by the means Of little assistance
might be able to pull through, may be
embarrassed thereby. The diversified
nature Of Governor Fosters failure
makes the outlook exceedingly dubious
and places the result far beyond the
range OF prediction. The three window
glass CON panies and the brass and iron
works will close down tonight and sew
eral hundred men will be thrown out OF
employment.
Nothing new can be learned OF the
condition OF the Foster bank, but its
deposits will reach 100000, divided
ameng largo number Of deDositors.
The Governor still bears up very we'll
under his calamity, and succeeded In
sleeping for six hours last night for the
first time in many weeks. He has been
deluged with kilograms and letters OF
sympathy from prominent people all
over the country, but unfortunately
these do not altogether meet the ex-
tremities OF the hour, gratifying as
they are. Assignee Gormley, who went
to Tiffin yesterday to qualify, will not
return until Monday, and until then II
will be impossible to even begin ty esti-
mate the true condition Of affairs.

CHICAGO, May 27.-The expected bill
for an injunction to prevent Sunday
opening of the Worlds Fair was filed to-
day on behalf of the national govern
ment by United States District Attor-
ney Milchrist in the Federal Circuit
Court. The District Attorney does not
ask for a temporary Injunction and con-
seousntly the case will not be argued
until next week. Mr.. Milchrist prefer
red TO wait until Chief Justice Fuller
arrives in the city. The Chief Justice
will possibly hear the case with two
Judges OF the Circuit Court. The legal
representative of the Exposition Direc-
tory, Edwin Waller, had short inter-
view with the District Attorney before
the bill was filed. The two attorneys
then went to the chambers of Judge
jenkins who, with Judge Grosscup,
was in waiting. The bill, which was
receiving the finishing touches mean
while, was in the hands OF Assistant
District Attorneys Pagen and Hand.

TIL. On. nJap Rule Broken.

CHICAGO, May 27.-The one man
plan OF making awards at the Worlds
Fair has received what appears to be
another severe set back. John Boyd
Thatcher, Chairman of the Committee
on Awards, has nominated three men to
act as judges in dairy contest thus, it
is claimed, breaking the rules.
Mr., Thatcher explains, however, that
the nomination of three dairy judges
only demonstrates the elasticity OF the
regulations aud the appoin tment OF
more than one judge is permitted when
found necessary or desirable.
1t is said that commissioners from
Europeen countries contemplate estab-
fishing board OF awards OF their own
ignoring the exposition jurors.
