BRIGGS FIGHT BEGINS
The Moderator Declares He Will Not ba
 Intimidated.

The Moderator Declares He Will Not be
 Intimidated.
 WASHINGTON, May 23.-Rev. Thomas Cracken, of Wakeeny, Kan, conducted the half hours devotional exercises with which the second weeks session of the Presbyterian General Assembly was ushered in yesterday. Promptly at 9:30 Moderator Craig opened the Assembly with word of prayer.
 The Briggs question then came to the front at bound, and it did not mitigate the results of the short struggle to know when it was over that it was chiefly the result of misunderstanding. Dr. Young, Chairman of the Committee on Bills and Overtures, announced what had been done with @ number of overtures from the Pres byteries, twelve of them relating to the Briggs case having been referred to the Committee on Judiciary.
 Dr. Young scarcely ceased speaking when Dr. Herrick Johnson, of Chicago, in quired what had become of the overture from his Presbytery on the Briggs case, which overture besoueht the Assembly to refer this celebrated case back to the Synod of New York.
 Dr. Thos. o. Hall, of Chicago, in sym pathy with Dr. Briggs. made brief speech in favor of sending all resolutions in the Briggs case to the judiciary committee first; as all would eventually go there.
 Elder Eudaly, of Cincinnati, got the floor and stated that the Assembly had to do simply with the law as 1t is, not as it ought to be.
 There was general parliamentary con- fusion, various commissioners attempting to get the floor, amid which the announce ment was made that the Chicago overture had gone to the judiciary committee. While the Moderator was attempting to put the question, Dr. Johnson remained upon his feet, calling repeatedly, q claim the right to be heard" his words being re- ceived with applause.
 Commissioner Cutcheon, of Detroit, stated that there was an overture from his presbytery, and in view of that fact he supported the motion to refer all the Briggs overtures to the Judiciary commit tee. He complained that the Moderator had not permitted him to speak, although he had been repeatedly upon his feet. MT. Cutcheon said he would appeal from the decision of the chair, and was applauded.
 Dr. Young, from the platform, asserted that the Moderator could not see every man who ought to be seen, and this state ment received the vigorous applause of the anti-Briggs people.
 MT. Cutcheon, who is physically one of the largest men on the floor, retorted that the failure to see him was possibly due to the fact that he was so small
 Moderator Craig said in reply that 1t made no difference how many times Mir. Cutcheon had been on his feet SO long as he had not caught the eye of the chair.
 He added: q never knew such an out break while a vote was being taksn,n and this remark was received with loud ap- plause.
 The reference of the overtures to the Judicial committee was carried and then Dr. Craig stepped to the front of the platform. What he said was short and sharp. "Don't you try to overwhelm us with such points at this stage of the game" he said, emphasizing his remarks by flourish of the gayel which he held in his hand.

An Improvised Lake.

strange phenomenon is now being observed with special interest by the inha bitants of Sprottau and its neigh borhood. In the southwestern portion of this district there exists tradition to the effect that, near the village of Koberbrunn, a large lake comes into existence every thirty-ive years, and then gradually disappears. The younger generation have hitherto treated the reports of their elders as pure fiction, but recent facts have been too strong for them. The area of the lake, now covered with dense fir plantation. covers over depression in the ground to the extent of 400 Ger man1 acres. This surface, at ordinary times per fectly dry, is now half sub- merged. The water is rising rapidly in this basin, the trees are doomed to de- struction, and what was short time ago the camping ground of stags and roes, is now vast sheet of water. In olden times the lake was called the Faudensee.

ANOTHER AWAKENING.

simultaneously with the news of
the great political revolution in the
Democratic districts of Ohio comes
the announcement of great bursting
of light upon the people of Holyoke,
Mass, one of the greatest industrial
towns of the Union. The people there
are repudiating the Democratic party.
They say it is controlled by free traders
and they fear changes in the tariff has
already paralyzed manufacturing in
this country
The Holyoke Daily free Press
which has been one of the ablest and
stanchest Democratic organs in the
whole state, has repudiated the Demo
cratic party and has come out fatfooted
for protection and the Republican par.
ty. It's ac.ion has carried cousJerna-
ton into the ranks of the Democrats
and the Republicans are correspond
ingly elated. tits looked upon as the
foreruuuer of wholesale detection
from the Democracy on account of the
present crippled condition of the in-
dustries reared and prospered under
Republican administrations. In its
editorial, explaining the reason for its
politics, the Free Press says plainly
that it has lost faith in the Democrat
ic party, and that it firmly believes
that the present industrial stagnation,
financial stringeucy, and general dis
tress, existing throughout the land, is
the result Of Democratic supremacy"
In further explanation it says;
cone year ago this country was en-
joylng prosperity such as had never
existed before. There was not one
idle mill in Massachusetts. Tn this
city there was not "a water wheel that
was not turning, not a spindle idle,
not loom that did NOT send its pleas
ing hum out on the breeze; not paper
machine that stopped from Monday

H. Bradley, of Toronto, Ont, another of

died here last night. He was cashier in
the Bank of Commerce in that city, and
his demise swells the number of deaths TO
tweuty-eight. OF the twenty-seven bodies
lying in the morgue here only thirteen

been made that all bodies unidentified,
aud that will be at least one-half Of Them
be buried in Oak Hill cemetery and mon
um ut erected there. Twenty-Five badly
injured patients are at the Nichols Memo
rial Home. All of these are doing we'll,
with the exception of Mrs. Henry Vance,
who will probably die.
