New YoRK, April l0.-Interest in the
Briggs case is reviVing as tho time for
the Meeting OF tho Presbyterian general
assembly approaches, That body will
assemble in Washington on tho third
Thursday in May and to it the commit
too OF prosecution OF tho New York
presbytery, representing the Presby'
terian church, will appeal from the de
cIsion OF the New York presbytery &C.
quitting the Rev, DR., Chas. A. Briggs Of
the charges OF heresy preferred against
him. The preshyteries throughout the
country are now electing their dele
gates to the general assembly, and the
Briggs case and the revision OF the con.
fession OF faith are the issues on which
the contest in tho assembly will be
made, -
The semi-annual meeting OF tho New
York rresbytery was held to-day. Tho
principal business was the election OF
seven clerical and seven lay commits
sioners and their alternates to the
general assembly, which will meet in
Washington next month.
Rev. Mr.. Duncan j. McNIillin sug-
gested that the commissioner be chosen
from the majority as was usual with
tho Presbytery. IAN important case"
he explained, will 70 to tho General
Assembly on appeal and it seems only
fair that the delegation should repre-
sent the majority who acquitted him"
This reference to DR.. Briggs brought
several anti-Briggs clergymen to their
feet DR.. Robinson interrupted Mr..
McMillin's reading Of tho names OF the
seven candidates for commissioners
with the remar: II never heard Of this
presbytery sending party delegation
to tho general assembly"
"0ut OF order" ruled the chairman.
"Then l take my right to protest"
DIR. Robinson said, excitedly.
DR.. Charles T. Thompson, introduced
series OF preambles and resolutions
giving the negative to the overtures OF
the General Assembly in the matter OF
recent revision OF the confession of
faith, which, after some discussion, was
adopted.
Before adjournment DR.. Briggs ad-
vanced to the moderator's desk. and
rising to a question OF privilege, ap-
pealed to the Presbytery to secure him
fair treatment before the General AS
sembly when he should appear there on
appeal.
The election for clerical delegates to
the General Assembly is regarded as n
victory for the Briggs men. Four are
supporters OF DR.. Briggs and the other
three are anti-Briggs.

for employing contractors to sign.
Most OF them in the city and at the ex-
position grounds agreed, the main pro-
Visions being forty cents an hour as the
minimum OF wages and eight hours to
constitute day. The exposition COM
mittee was practically conforming to
these conditions, but refused to sign a
clause requiring employment OF union
men only, ]. 3, Cogswell president OF
the carpenters council then ordered a
strike OF the carpenters. There were
only about 800 carpenters employed by
the exposition company, and not all OF
them obeyed the order. The strike was
a practical failure and most OF the men
returned to work during the last week,
The matter was carried to the building
trades council and Saturday manifesto
to the exposition managers was pre-.
pared, which threatened that unless
this demand OF the carpenters was ac-
ceded to general strike would be
ordered this morning, The manifesto
was presented to President Higin-
bOthRm Saturday night, He read it
carefully and said he would do nothing

A meeting of the directors of the fair

Just before noon. Previous to the meet.
ing the labor representatives held n
consultation with President Higin-
botham.
Before p. m. fully 1000 men were
out, including probably over dozen
dlleront trades, To make matters
worse, at this juncture ope.third of the
employees OF tho installation department
(200) quit work, The men who are en-
gagged as teamsters have been receiving

mand for So per day was made, which

wAsniNGroN, D. G., April 1o.-Post-
master General Bissell was tonight
shown q dispatch from Philadelphia
stating that Postmaster Field, Of that
city, had resigned because the postmas-
tor general had attempted to dictate the
appointment OF subordinates in tho
Philadelphia postofllco. Mr.. Bisscll
said there was not enough truth In tho
story to Justify an interview, and
whether or not Mr.. Field had resigned
hc did not know.

ended the argument on the union ques-
ton and the matter was dropped by
common consent. There never was any
agreement that none but union men
should be employed,
Two weeks ago the labor unions put
in the request that non-union men be
discharged. 1t was refused, and from
that time began tho trouble. 1t is
openly hlnted, and on the other hand
positively denied, that some members
Of the bosses association have winked
at the strike because there were men
on the ground employed at less than
the terms required by the bosses
agreement with the building trades
council. The men have an iron clad
agreement with the bosses, binding
them not to strike, yet they have
struck and none OF the bosses seem
greatly disturbed over the prospects.
LABOR LEADERS STRIKE.
Tho strike was strike OF the labor
leaders and not alstrike OF the men.
The majority Of the men were unwilling
to strike and only went out when or.
dered by the delegates, and most Of
them very unwillingly, There was
some trouble in inducing some OF the
men to quit and the walking delegates
were compelled to do active missionary
work in ordering them of the grounds.
There was trouble, too, during the day
and between 8 q. m. and 4 p. M, four
men wore arrested for fighting and cre-
ating trouble. The first man to be ar
rested was L. II. Holman, q striking
carpenter, who intorfered, with the men
disposed to work. Oswald Weinhuld
was also too forcible in his arguments
and was taken into custody. John
Matthews and William Hughes were
arrested for fighting, and Edward Nor
ris for oCcasioning small riot,
He was working In the manufactur-
ers' building when ordered by the
walking delegate 10 quit work, and as
he packed his tools, said to man near
him: "Why don't you quit, too2"
~ don't sec it that way" was tho
reply
''ihon you arc scab," was the re-
ply OF Morris, at the same time calling
the workman q VIC name. Inc next
instant he was flat on his back, and
countless stars were dancing in front OF
his eyes. A score or more OF strikers
fastened to his assistance and largo
number OF non.union men came to the
defense OF his opponent. Clubs and
fists flew lively for a few minutes and
matters were rapidly growing serious,
when detachment Of the Columbian
guards and some OF the cooler heads
among the laboring men succeeded in
parting the belligerents. There were
several cracked heads, bloody noses
and beautiful blue black eyes. but no
serious injury was done on either side.
Tho union men were then marched off
the ground, leaving the non-union men
in possession.

THE RoAoH CASE
May Delay Adjournment of the Senate.
Republicans Standing Firm.

May Delay Adjournment OF the Senate.
Republicans Standing Firm.
WASHINGTON, D. G., April 10.-It may
bo that the Roach case will be the
cause for tho failure OF the senate to
adjourn as early as expected last week.
At the meeting OF the committee on
privileges and elections Saturday it was
understood that the committee would
be favorable to a modification Of the
resolution OF Mr., Hoar SO US to provide
that tho committee should, during re-
cess, make u preliminary investigation
into the Roach case and report to the
senate at next session whether or not
there was grounds sufficient to justify
them in going into the case on its mer-
its. While no stipulated agreement ap.
pears to have been made there was, it
is said, m understanding in accordance
with which Mr.. illoar this morning in
troduced his resolution which carries
out the plan above suggested.
The question Of adjournment again
becomes matter OF conjecture. The
Republicans say they are in no hurry
to get away, and do not propose that
the senate shall run Oh pell nell until
they have disposed Of the Roach matter
They insist that thero shall be no ad-
iournment until some definite con-
clusion Is reached, and tho committee
on privileges and elections have been
authorized to conduct this preliminary
examination. Ono senator who is
recognized for his persistence aud pug
n0city when aroused, declared that tho
refusal OF the Democrats meant that
there would DO no more business OF
any character requiring transacted un-
til the other side OF chamber agreed TO
tho resolution. 1t is said that this
policy is to be carried to tho extreme Of
refusing to permit action upon nomina-
tions as such action cannot bo taken
without tho presence OF voting
quorum. There Is not, as matter Of
fact voting quorum in tho city to-day,
unless pairs arc violated and senate rs
will hardly take the responsibility Of
doing this.
Democratic senators say that thoir op.
position arises from tho faCt that thoy
do not care to remain during the Bum-
NOR and do thoir work, 80 far as nd.
ournment is concerned they add that
when any ono makes tho point that
there is no quorum present tho senate
will DO compelled to adjourn.

1t was not expected that he would be
the first to violate that which he has
solemnly sworn to uphold and defend
the force and dignity of law. He has
violated an unwrtten, but sacred law,

The law says, "Thou shalt not adorn
thy knowledge box with plug hat, nor
any other bearing any resemblance

what our new Probate Judge did yes

alton aforelhought, all of which is con-
trary to the stern edict of the solemn

a scare among his creditors make a re-
newal of credit impossible, and then
comes failure. The nation is only an
aggregation of individuals. subject tothe
