COnvicting Briggs Was Rather
an Expensive Luxury.
One of the Prosecutors Spent a
Small Fortune of His Own
Money to Do 1t.
Special to The MORNING CALL

WASHINGTON, June st is generally
agreed among Presbyterians prominently
connected with the Briggs case that the
expenses incurred during the entire
progress of the case, from the initiatory
stage until the General Assembly disposed
OF it at last, amounted to very large sum
but it is almost impossible to make an
estimate Gf the total amount with ac-
curacy. Some light has been thrown on
this subject. however, by Rev. DR.. Bart
lett. who was chairman Of the local COM
mi!tee of arrangements for the General
Assembly. Dr.. Bartlett says the board
bills alone of 200 cpmmiss oners to the as
sembly-the number the local committee
promised to provide for-amounted to
$500 per day, and therefore two DAYS trial
of DR.. Briggs in this city cost the local
committee $500.
There were, however. more than 800
delegates to the assembly, and while the
trial consumed, properly speaking, only
two days, TIE case really extended over
more than double that period, so that
1000 is nearer the mark than $780,
This, in itself. is a low estimate Dr..
Bartlett is of the opinion that the esti-
mate made by some of the commissioners
that the Briggs case. from beginning to
end, cost the General Assembly about $50
000 is nearly correct.
Colonel MeCook, of the prosecuting
committee, who is a wealthy man, spent
out of his own pocket according to DR..
Bartlett's opinion, at least $4,000.

der to decide in our favor the tribunal will
have to lay down some new principles in
international law, and ] think there is
very fair prospect of their doing this.
ANY new law formulated by them
would Undoubtedly be approved by all the
nations Interested Even if they should
decide against us they will probably de-
wise some means, such as closed season,
for instance. by which seals can be pro-
tected and preserved.
THE arguments will soon be finished
and then consideration will begin. If
there should be a disagreement, time
would have to be granted for the prepara-
tion of minority report. or further in
formation might be called for For these
reasons decision can hardly be rendered
for several weeks yet"
