BRIGGS AGAIN ON TRIAL
Formal Proceedings in the
Noted Heresy Case Begun
at Washington.
Report of the Judiciary Com
mittee Favoring Immediate
Action Adopted.

WASHINGTON, May 24.-The Presby-
terian general assembly has resolved
itself into court and is ready to begin
the trial of DR.. Briggs. At no time
since the general assembly began its
session has there been so large an at
tendance as was assembled when, at
2:80 p. M, DIR. Craig called the assem-
bly, to order. It was generally known
that the report of the judicial commit
tee in the Briggs case was the special
order, and this was sufficient to crowd
the house. Galleries and even the
stairways were packed to suffocation.
The platform was filed with distin-
guished visitors, too, and members of
the assem- bly,. DR.. Briggs on this mo-
mentous occasion made his first appear
ance on the floor of the house. He sat
quietly through the preliminary pro-
ceedings, apparently unmindful of the
fact that he was the
Observed of All Observers.
As DR.. Baker read from the report, DR..
Briggs from time to time took notes. as
quietly as if, instead of being the CEN
trail figure, he was at most counsel of
the man under religious indictment.
Before the reading of the report began
Mr.. McDougall of Cincinnati moved
that the case before the assembly take
precedence of all other business, and
this was speedily carried. The majority
fou fo frio
then read and adopted. At this point
Professor Briggs rose as if to address
the assembly. Immediately buzz of
comment swept over the house, while
he and the moderator engaged in
an animated colloquy upon his right
to be heard at this time. Professor
Briggs yielded to DR.. Craig and
Resumed His Seat.
The moderator said that Professor
Briggs had asked him the privilege of
speaking, but that he had insisted that
the professor had no right to speak at
that time. DR.. Craig said, however,
that there would be time when his
brother, Professor Briggs, should speak.
The moderator then announced that in
accordance with the book of govern
ment the assembly would be turned
into judicial court of the Lord Jesus
Christ, and, following the rules of pro-
cedure, called for reading Of the judg-
ment, notice of appeal, the appeals and
the specifications of errors alleged
This was done by Stated Clerk Roberts,
and the court then adjourned for the
day.

LONDON, May 24.-Queen Victoria's

generally throughout the country. A

ceived by her majesty through hel

Oh scaDo Grain Summary.

CHICAGO, May "a. 1888
Wheat agHsn declined but the undertone OF
the market improved materially as the session
advanced. Except for the demand for cash
wheat from elevator men there was no market
for the cash wheat at all. The news from
Kansas was hardly as bad as usual, the for
eign markets were distressingly weak, North
west receipts were again large and exports
were moderate. Frosts in Western Kansas
had no effect on values. Corn was wea K.
Good weather, big receipts and very favor
able official crop report from Iowa discouraged
holders. Oats were comparatively firm
There were liberal receipts but good cash
demand from shippers. Provisions were
higher.

Matter Brought Before the Ma

Vote Taken.

CHICAGO, May 24.-Sunday opening

ing and the wives and friends of COM
missioners, thronged the rooms all day.
The session began about II o'clock with
the question of the adoption or rejection
of the majority report for the closing of
the fair on Sunday or the minority re-
port, which provides for the
Opening of the Gates
ION the first day of the week. COM
monty called Sunday" The ''closers'
were championed by Mr.. Massey of
Delaware and the openers by General
st. Clair of West Virginia. Mr.. Burton
of Kansas spoke in favor Of opening as
also did Messrs. Eibeck of Iowa, Groner
of Virginia and others. Commissioners
Hundley of Alabama, Tousley of Min
nesota and others supported Mr.. Mas
sey's report, and the question was
brought to vote about $3.50. The mat
ter was focused into a motion made to
substitute the minority for the major
ity report
And the Motion Prevailed.
The motion to modify the new rule
presented by the local directory provid-
ing for the opening Of the fair Sunday
failed to carry by the statutory major
ity of 55. Thus the commission gave
passive consent to the opening of the
gates, as there seemed to be no other
alternative. The matter is now entirely
in the hands of the local directory and
as the commission did not modify the
new rule presented by them the local
board can open the gates of the fair un-
less proper judiciary authority should

IN THE RIGHT DIRECTION.

Congressman Caminstti OF California has
taken the first step toward an examination
Of the condition of the waterways of this
State, with view to their permanent i'm
proyement There can be no objection to
this movement, although results will be
somewhat more remote than the people of
this State could wish. The present pros
pect Is that within year San Francisco
will be in way 10 receiYe goods for the
greater part of the coast at cost that would
attract buyers If transportation from the
city into the interior was correspondence
cheap. AS matters now stand The Southern
Pacific Is the main reliance of the mer-
chants in communication with interior
points. What may be done to convince the
Southern Pacific people that its interest lies
rather in serving the people than In oppos-
ing them no one ca n at present predict. But
the chances are that the State Will lose
more money each year through a lack Of
facilities in reaching internal points than
the improvement asked at the hands of the
Federal Government would cost. There is
another point: the War Department has
refused to expend money In its hands on the
rivers until hydraulic mining is regulated or
stopped. The State cannot afford to wait
upon these deliberate ons, examinations and
reports Work should commence on the
waterways without delay. With the rivers
in the condition the Caminetti resolution
proposes to put them but few branch roads
would be needed to reach the principal
points in the State. 1t is probable that
electric railroads will be constructed to
complete The water system.

An Ingenious Water Motor,

An invention which will prove of value
to farmers and miners particularly has
been evolved from the brain of Patrick
Mckeeyer of Oakland. 1t is called the
water motor and is intended to be anchored
in a stream Tor the purpose Of pumping
water for irrigating land or for mining.
1t is constructed so that the current of the
river will work the paddles, and these in
turn Will operate the pumps by connecting
pulleys. 1t can also be utilized in driving
dynamOs for running the electric current to
mines or other places. The water motor
can also be moved alongside docks for
pumping water to be used in watering the
streets, flushing sewers and the hundred
and one needs of a city. Practically it is
capable Of doing anything where motive
power is required, SUCH as pumping air TO
run machinery on land. 1t is altogether a
most ingenious device and will be found of
much practical advantage
