NICARAGUAN REVOLUTION.
Reports Received at the State Department
From a u. s. Consul.

From a u. s. Consul.
No dispatches Of very recent date have been
received at the State Department from
Nicaragua, and, in fact. the officials are still in
ignorance of the arrival of Minister Baker, but
some of the belated consular reports that are
coming to hand throw some light on the present
situation.
The United States consul at San Juan del
Norte, Mr. Braida, sends a report Of date May
3, and from his statement that kilograms to the
interior Of the country are not forwarded from
San Carlos. it may be surmised why Minister
Baker, who is supposed to be at the capital.
Manaqua. In the interior. has not been able to
communicate with the State Department
PROCLAIMED PRESIDENT.
The consul says that kilograms received by
the intendente at Del Norte state that the city
of Rinas was taken by Gen. Eva, and that Don
San Tago Morales, one of the richest men of
the country, has been proclaimed president of
the republic by the revolutionary party.
Following up this move, the revolutionists took
the town of Jnotepec. which is really the
key to the capital Of the country, after q resist
ance Of four hours.
This news came by way of Castillo. The
consul also received some advices privately
from Bluefield TO the affect that the cities of
Roma and Biuefield had been occupied by the
revolutionary forces under Felix Pedro
Alfava, who appointed as governor for the
place at Chamberlain son of the former Presi-
dent Cardevas. San Juan del Norte was not in a
condition to make any defense at the date of
the consuls report. No preparations of any
KIND had been made. A peaceable surrender,
unattended by disturbance, was expected.
The consul confirms the report that the steam
ship Victoria, on Lake Nicaragua, belonging to
the canal company, is in the hands Of the revolu-
tionists.

WHAT BRIGGS MEN URGE.
Speeches Which Went Into the
Merits of the Case,
WHAT BRIGGS MEN URGE.

Today was the third dav Of the famous Briggs
hearing before the 105th general assembly Of
the Presbyterian Church Of the United States
OF America Col John J. McCook Of the pros
ecuting committee OF the New York presbytery
finished his argument for the appellants last
evening" and at the close of his speech the
assembly in its judicial capacity decided to
allow four hours today for the arguments on
the motion to entertain the appeal in the case
OF DR.. Briggs, the speakers being limited under
the book Of discipline to ten minutes each.
This was the business Of the day, the argu-
ments on the pending question, whether tho
motion to entertain the appeal should be
adopted.
Should the assembly decide to entertain the
appeal Of the prosecuting committee from the
decision Of the New York presbytery then the
assembly will proceed to the trial Of the case
against DIR. Briggs.
CROWDED HOUSE.
The attendance this morning was very large
and around the galleries and the doors leading
into the church there were many people stand

warm, but not unbearable, and despite the high
caloric the commissioners were in an exception

Mountain, Washington.
SEATTLE. Wash May 26.-A Spokane special
SAYS: The story Of the rich gold strike in Sum-
NIT mine, on Palmer mountain. mentioned in
these dispatches, proves upon investigation to
be true in every particular.
c. c. Sands, the owner of =. X. Humboldt
and Eclipse mines. adjoining Summit mine,
came down from Ruby yesterday. He SAYS he
was present at Summit mine when the strike
WAS made.
In speaking Of il he says: The strike came
about by accident. The owners Of the Summit
mine two years ago ran a shaft down about 100
feet when water rushed in and stopped the
work. The mine lay idle until last winter,
when work was resumed The owners
determined to tap the shaft in order TO let out
the water and secure better air. The tunnel
was run and when ten feet below the shaft the
owners ran into this bonanza. A seyen-pound
piece Of ore taken out and assayed. Ii ran
two pounds Of gold 10 the piece. The ledge
containing this rich ore is eighteen inches thick
and there seems to Le plenty OF it in sight"
Mr.. Sands exhibited several specimens OF ore
taken from the D. X. mine. which be claims is
on the same ledge struck in the Summit mine.
Gold, and plenty Of it, is plainly seen in the
specimens and one piece assayed here yester-
day S100, 900 to the ton.
Excitement is intense over the strike.

Tor the afternoon, and when that time
Is used up the assembly will proceed to vote
upon the question whether or not it will enter
tain the appeal and proceed with the trial Of
DR.. Briggs.
There is little, If any, doubt that the motion
to entertain will be carried by large majority.

ahead with the trial tomorrow. In case that is
what the assembly decides to DO the following

q new trial
Z. Neither the appellant nor the members of
the New York presbytery will be allowed to sit,
deliberate or vote in the case.

THE MORNING SESSION.
All the parties to the great controversy were
on hand in time to lift up their voices in the
hymn that closed the opening devotional exer-
cises. Rev. DR.. Schoff, who sits with Prof
Briggs and his friends. called upon to
make the closing prayer. and DIR. Briggs and
the members of the prosecuting committee all
sang with much heartiness when the leader

Italy to Raise the Rank Of It's Legation
Here.
Secretary Gresham has received oficial no
tice Of the purpose of the italian government to
raise its diplomatic representation at Washing
ton to the grade Of an embassy. II
will, therefore, correspond in rank with
the English and French embassies and will
number third in the order of establishment
The name Of the italian ambassador
is not announced. but there is reason
to believe that Baron Fava, the pres
ent minister, will be promoted to that
rank in order to allow him to remain on diplo-
matte duty at this capital. In that case Baron
Fava, who was formerly dean Of the diplomatic
corps, will be third in the order Of seniority.
As soon the necessary formalities have
been observed in this matter the President will
exercise the power conferred on him by Con-
gress and change the designation
of Mr.. VIM. Potter, the present
United States minister to Rome, to am
bassador extraordinary. Similar action will
also be taken in the case Of Mr.. Theodore Run

stated that at the end of the four hours debate
he would entertain an amendment, If offered to
the pending motion to refer the case back to
the synod.
Judge Wills questioned the right to admit
such an amendment, insisting that the order
prescribed by the book Of discipline required
them to vote on the question whether they
would entertain the appeal
The moderator said that, considering the
grave issues at stake, he had never known an
assembly to proceed in so calm and orderly q
manner. These parties here, the prosecuting
committee and the appellee, had done as well
g any judges could expect Now that thev
had been heard the judicial committee had
brought iii a resolution providing for a four
hours discussion. OF course they had to have
the motion before them. shall the appeal be
entertained? Some Of the brethren had raised
the question whether an amendment could be
brought in. 1t was then late at night and
every one Was fatigued The moderator then
had said that the moderator would at the close
OF the debate entertain the amendment, hav-
ing. however. great doubt as to the legality of
such measure. and as TO whether an amendment
to motion prescribed by the book Of dis
clpline would be in order. They would, how

outsider that it would take but trifing spark
to bring about huge explosion. There was

tion before the assembly and to discuss the
orthodoxy or heresy Of the man who was on
trial

the fatigue under which he was laboring as a
result of the strain under which he has been
for the past few days. With hands folded in his
lap he sat for hours, calm, collected and as cool
as might be.
CHRISTIAN COURTESY.
There was one particularly pretty case Of
Christian courtesy at the morning session to-
day, while Elder McDougal Of the presbytery
Of Elizabeth. N. j., the second speaker Of the
morning, was on his feet. While he was speak
ing he made remark to which DR..
Briggs evidently took exception for he spoke q
low word Of negation and there came near be-
speaker and the defendant. Rather, there
would have been if DR.. Briggs had not kept
firm bit upon his tongue.
At the close of Mr.. McDougall's ten-minute
speech DIR. Briggs rose and on the point of a
question of privilege said that he had been
misquoted by the speaker and what be really
had said had been put in false light. He
asked permission to put himself right before
the assembly.
Cries of mo-" "no, "out of order" and ex-
pressions OF that sort came from all parts Of
the church. 1t looked as though
Prof. Briggs would be utterly downed,
when suddenly there stepped forward upon
the platform an elderly ntie-faced gentleman,
who in kindly voice pleaded with the assembly
that justice be done Prof. Briggs If Prof
Drigge tnousnt DIS words mad been mlsQuoted
II was merely his right to correct himself in his
position before the assembly.
This speech carried the day. 1t was received
with applause, too, and it deserved it, for the
speaker was the venerable DR.. John T. Duffield,
professor of mathematics at Princeton College
who Is known as one of the very stiffest and
most consistent of all the anti-Briggs men in
the assembly.
Among the interested spectators of the pro-
ceedings today was Ms. Briggs. the wife of
the now famous profes.pr Of biblical theology.
She occupied a seat in The gallery with Prof
Henry Preserved Smith and some other friends
of the appellee
