Chicago dispatch: There was a flag raising at the Nebraska building. The huge banner presented to the board by the ladies of Omaha now floats proudly from the tall flag staff. Mrs. M. A-- . Bock of Omaha was conceded the honor of pulling the rope that hauled it ill position. It is a handsome silken ban ner, bearing the Words, "From the la- dies of Omaha, Columbian Exposition, 1893." At UteadilU, George and William ll, father and son, had a little domistic interchange of opinion that ended in a hand to hand set to with loaded fists. George was one too maiiy for his aged parent, arid knocked him out in tho thirecnth round.. For this William Was arrested and laUen to Sy- racuse, but iblirA the lather relented, imitt thQ COsis and the two rode home in the same conveyance. Fred W. Witchey, assistant cashier of the Farmers' and Mcrchan "ft1 bank at Valley is missing and his unexplained absence is causing mUcll surmise and some alarm When he left home he told his wife he wttuld hot be home un- til late.

An examina- tion of the books of the bankshoW that his accounts are all right. The executive board of the State Teachers' Beading circle at a hieeting in Lincoln at the Office of the state su- perintendent of public instruction to select books for the course, 'declined to accept as one of Thelii the "Ana- lytics of Literature," recently pub- lished by Prof. L. A. Sherman of tht state university, which is receiving flat- tering commendation from prominent educaton faf and wide. It is said that it was not adopted owing to the fact that State Superintendent Goudy fa-yor- ed another book on literature which is published by the American BWS company. . rntne'r Ilanway died at his home In Wilbur last week aged seventy-thre- e. He was a distinguished mason, being n member of Pittsburg Valley (Pa.) con- sistory, thirty-secon- d degree, and ah honorary member of every masonic lodge lu Pennsylvania: He also had the distinction of being the last man living whs had been tried for treason against the United States, on which charge he wastried in the United States circuit court at Philadelphia in Novem- ber, 1851, for his connection with what was known as the Christiana tragedy; in Lancaster county, Pa.-- , September 1851.

A the patients at the Norfolk in- sane asylum were being taken back to the main building from the amusement hall, where they had been dancing, two of the patients. Mrs. Peterson from Ponca and Jacob Stevens from Kietli county, broke away from the crowd attd disappeared in opposite directions around the corners of the building. The attendants started in pursuit and captured Mrs. Peterson before she reached the outside gates, but were not so fortunate in finding Mr. Stevens, who is yet at large. He is one of the mild patients and will, therefore, be much more liable to succeed in getting away, since his sanity is not likely to be questioned by farmers or persons who may meet him. Despite warnings of the local press to the farmers in Hall and adjoining coun ties the lightning rod agent is putting in his work. Felix Geisinger tells how the first agent came around and wrote out a contract for him that he would rod his house for 513.40; how the sec- ond agent followed with the rod and presented a note for $150 which the as- tonished agriculturist was asked to sign and, when the latter hesitated, how, with a careless smile, the agent in- formed Mr. Geisinger he would be sued. Geisinger, to avoid litigation, signed the note. Cole Bros, is the name of the firm, though this is not printed on the order slips and can be changed as the agent sees fit. A number of others have been worked in the same way. When the Portal townsite was laid out, says the Papillion Times, its pro- jectors confidently anticipated that within two years that suburb to a corn- field would become a great manufactur- ing center. With visions of a mighty rush of investors the townsite company platted about a thousand lots, decorat- ed them with trees and sidewalks and calmly waited the shoal of suckers. They waited in vain. The suckers re- fused to suck, and now the townsite people want to vacate the plat and plant corn on the land where the prospects had picutured giant industries. Adolph Peterson, H- - Sprague, C. W. Shobert, Dr. Curti, Fred Hagadorn and others have formed a pool to employ legal tal- ent to protect their interests, and they are confident that they can succeed in keeping the plat of record. Governor Crounse has appointed the following delegates to the national con- ference of charities and corrections, which will convene in Chicago June 8, to continue three days: J. A. Gillespie, A. P.

Interest in the proceedings was heightened when it became known that District Attorfte Milchrist had caused to be" issued subpoenas for Messrs. Burnham, Cnlp asd Dickinson, of the Fair management, whom the State desired to. use as witnesses; At 10 o'cldck Judges Woods, Jenk'ns and Grosscup, of the court of appeals, arrayed in their silk gowns, nled in and took their places on the bench. After Deputy Marshal Jones had ob- tained order) Judge Woods announced that Chief justice Fuller of the United States Supreme Court had been ex- pected but could not btt present owing Vo a daughter's illness; that the Chief Justice might attend the Court of Ap- peals a few days later. The court then set the appeal cases ttn the call for Tuesday of next Week, and the Circuit Court of Appeals was formally dissolved. Circuit Court was then declared open, and Judge Woods stated that Judge Grosscup being a stockholder in the Fair, had declined to sit on the case. Meanwhile attorneys for trie con- tending parties Had come lntd court District Attorney Milchrist was ac- companied by Messrs. 'Hand, AldKch, High and Fales. Od the opposite side wera Attorneys Walker and St. Clalir. Attorney W. E. Mason was also ji court, representing C. W. Ciingman, who had secured the in- junction in the State court restrain- ing the World's Fair Directors from closing the Exbosition gates tin .Sun- days. He had not felt called iipon: ho s i id., to. file, an intervening petition, but HilrlEg the hearing of the case he would Mke to call the attention of the court to the suit pending in the State "court. At this juncture, Attorney Mjlebristi addressing Judges Wtjod and JfeHkin's, who retrained on the bench' said that he and the counsel on the opposite side would like to have Judge Grosscup .sit in the hearing'. He had no Idea that Judge Grosscup would be influenced in the slightest degaf e by the fact that he owned stock. Whan this was com- municated to Judgerosscup he again took his seat on the -- bench, Judge Woods remarking that the amount of the donation Was too small to create any prejudice, even If a suspicion of prejudice Were possible. Attorney Clelan'd, representing the Sabbatarian party, presented the bill Ih which Wana maker & Brown and Pratt are complainant! Against, the World'8 Columbian EabSsUTon. This he had filed in the Clerk's office a few minutes previously, and he asked the conrt for an order Jrestrainlnff the World's Columbian Exposition from opCfling its gates on Sunday and from returning to the Treasury the appro- - of souvenir coins. He ed the court that notice had been served on Attorney Edwin Walker. The latter, fenljiag: said thllt no- tice had been sarVod on him Monday nhiht, Wnen he was informed that the I bPl hl already been filed, and he was served with what purported to be a copy of the bilL This service was not proper, as he was not the defendant nor the attorney far. the, defendant: He objetttjd to the court hearing the motion in this case in conjunction with the case of the United States be- fore the court. The Court sustained the objection, ruling that it would only hear one bill at a time. This settled the matter, and Attorney Cleland retired from any active participation itt the proceed- ings. . . District Attorney Milchrist asked leave to file an amendment to the original bill. This set out that the World's Fair directory had accepted two installments of the government appropriation after the passage of the act setting aside $570,000 for awards, and that these acceptances were made with full knowledge of the setting aside of the fund for awards. Attorney alker at ottce objected to the amendment on "the ground that it raised new and serious issues whioh he was not then prepared to meet Considering this objection, the conrt allowed the amendment to the original bill, but gave leave to defendant coun- sel to take time to file an amendment to their answer, which would meet the points raised to the amendment to the bill. A decision will not be reached before Found Gold In the Itadlaa Territory. Nowata, L T., June 1. Great ex- citement prevails in this city over the discovery of gold two miles northwest of this place. J. R. Hilderbrand, for- merly a miner, while making improve- ments on a rough, broken portion of his ranch, found what he supposed to be a bullet, but upon further examina- tion he pronounced it gold. He brought it to town and found that it weighed nearly two pennyweights. Acids of various kinds were applied, but the nugget remained untarnished. Quartz-bearin- g rocks were found near by, and the general impression is that a big find will be made Baptists Elect Oflcers. Deitveb, CoL, June 1.

World's Fair Gates Will Be Opened Sun- day as Usual. . 6nlcAad; iTufie1 8: Just before the" federal conrt adjourned yesterday" in the world's fair Sunday closing snit, United States Attorney Milchrist asked that in the absence of a permanent decision a restraininsorder be issued for next Sunday; This was refused.- - Jtldgd SYtiods, spedkiflg for the court, said no' intimation cbuld hi given as ttf when A decision might be expected. On behalf of the fair it was" argued thai if tile coWl sbotild granUhe pray- er of the petitioners for att order clos- ing the gates on Sunday, the manage- ment would have to either disobey that order or the order of the state court holding that the park, being for the re- creation; and enjoyment of the people, they cduld not be kcpt odt tm any day of the week. The court asked If the' lbglc.bf this was. that no. entrance fee Gdiild be1 charged: The attorney fbrtHe fair said no, because 8i the large amount of money spent in building the improvements the fair directory was entitled to charge a fee. This had al- ready been decided in effect. Attorney Janies.L.

How the thing will stand in the senate is another story, but it will probably be found that the finance committee, at the head of which is Senator Vdortiecs, who has bCeii re- garded as strongly favoring silver will have a majority for the repeal of tin present law. It appears that a nilillbc'r of members of the house who voted against any action during the last con- gress have, sccn.a IJght sinoo, and they expect to vote the .other way when the'jf get at work again. The. reason givcii by some of those whQi will-- . drop from tfic ranks oi the radical silver men is that in the light of the present financial situation of "their people," without yielding their convictions on the silver question, nre willing that tho Sherman law shdui.d bti repealed at OttCe, leaving the diicstidn of future coinage 8f silver open. Mow fiir tHis is Ihe result of jif. dicious distribution or withholding of patronage by Mr. Cleveland may be left for inference, but it is certain that Mr. Cleveland has not lost sight of this issue in dealing with statesmen who have been making pilgrimages to the white housel Bloody Crime In a Nebraska Village. Battle Creek, Neb., June 3. Mrs. Fred Sargent was shot and killed by her husband, Fred Sargent, yesterday morning. The murder was committed about 4 o'clock. Sargent chased his wife Out df the house and she ranto the' dwelling of W. F. Rcavis. Tlie family being asleep, did not hear her until the shots were fired and the woman screamed. The balls took effect, one in the back and one in the back of the neck, killing her instantly. She was lying on the front stoop of the Reavis house when Mr. Rcavis opened his door. Then Sargent shot himself in the head, the ball striking his fdrehead and glancing upward, hot brcakitig ttic skull. Sargent then got the butcher knife and cut his throat. He also made a poor job of this, cutting his windpipe about half in two, but missing the large veins of the neck. He was found in a ditch near the house on his hands and knees crawling around and trying to get up. He was taken into the house and there he tried to get the butcher knife again, but was prevented. Sargent was immediately arrested, and is now in bed at the hotel under the care of the doctor and the city mar- shal. The cause of the murder was iil part jealousy and because Mrs. Sar- gent refused to live with her husband. Bering: Sea Cases. Washington, June 3. Unofficial ad- vices from members of the American commission in Paris in connection with the Bering sea arbitration do not give nny hope of an early termination of the present proceedings, besides Sir Charles Russell, whose speech has just closed. Great Britain will present four other attorneys, but how much time they will require it is impossible, of course, to foretelL After they have finished, Mr. Phelps and Mr. H. W. Blodgett of the consul for the United States are still to be heard. It is probable, however.that about July 1 some of the attaches to the American commission will be de- tached and return to this country. Af ter the argument has been concluded the arbitrators have three months in which to render their decision. It is hoped that the final result would be reached by October 1, at which time the modus vivendi, at present in existence, regulating the legitimate catch of seals in the Bering sea, will expire by the terms of the treaty of arbitration.

AftefthW usu- al season of devotion yesterday morn- ing the Presbyterian general assembly proceeded to vote on the question of sustaining thSappoal from the judg- ment of the New York presbyter ac- quitting Prof. Bfiggs of heresy.

As one after another of the members briefly iildicated his posi- tion Dr. iBriggs became weary Of the talk, and asked and was granted per- mission to retire. The call of the pres- byteries by states progressed as far as Kansas, when a recess was taken until 2 p. iil. After recess tlie ufe'bate continued with the majority of the' speakers against Dr. Briggs, though he found a number of warm supporters, the most notable one, perhaps, being a graduate of Union theological seminary, James F Garvin a missionary to Chili. The call of the synod of New York having been' coiripleted, Dr. Craig en- deavored id induce the assembly to come to some amicable arrangement by unanimous consent to" cut off the flood of debate, but was unable to secure the ncces-ar- j and Hid calling of the roll was continued. it was 8:43 o'clock when the moder- ator put the question: "Shall the specifications Of vtrvr be sustained?" artd Dr. Roberts, the staled clerk, read th5 first sjp'eeifi ratiorf, in substalWC that the presbytery of New York on objec tions made by lir. lir. unggs itwureir th nrosecutinir committee to amend tile" amended charges and specifications by striking out charge four. The speci- fication Was declared to be sustained by a Vpte bf 232 tb 190: The vote showed that the aitcrfriatice' was sev'erity-scvtf- n less than the number ill .attendance when the vpte was taken Friday, Wr- iter tainlii? ihe appeal, the vote on which was 403 yeas, 144 flays: Specifications second to twelfth in- clusive, under the first ground ot a"p-pea- l, all relating to irregularities in the prJcediHgi of the New York presby- tery were 'sustained, Seriatim, some by tally and sdmer mcfel u vira voce, or rising' vote. The Briggs men showed their Stl'eiljrtli on snecifleatioh. four, which alleges that tud a"i ot the presbytery in not giving Dr. Briggs an opportunity to reply to alleged new matter withbut specifying the new mat- ter w$s. irfcgrUarr The vote resulted 233 to 193, sustaining the "srJeCificption. The second ground of appeal SllegcH the receiving of improper testimony and wasbas ul upon three specifications. They set up that the defendant should have been sworn; that the statements and blatter Interpolated by the defend- ant into the record were" ptfrrrMttcd to remain nf'd qiib'tations and extracts offered by the fidfendrtnt Wcre received as evidence without his iiJv:n? been sworn. On first spc-ificati- on a division", was taken, the result being that the specification was sustained 262 to 185. The others were sustained by viva voce vote.- - The third ground df Jshe. appeal was that of declining to receivfe Important testimony, with two specifications, thai charges four and seven were stricken out, thereby preventing the proving of charges. These specifications were sus- tained Without division. The fifth and last ground of the ap- peal cdncltidcd: ''Spe'ciicatloris of er- ror, and charges mistake qf injustice" in the decision." The specification of error charged is the failure to convict the defendant on competent charges, the facts being admitted by the de- fendant, that the judgment was not warranted by the law and evidence; that the judgment Is, in fact, an ap- proval df the views embodied In tho in- augural address; that the judgement is vague, unjust and misleading; that the presbytery was moved by unsworri and improver testimony; that the judghie'flt is contradictory in form and effect. The votes on these specifications were taken without a division, resulting in a declaration that each and every one had been sustained. This part of the proceedings having been disposed of Kcv. .Wi C. Young of Kentucky mbved that the roll be called and that the assembly vote on the main question: "Shall the appeal be sus- tained?" which was adopted. Before beginning the roll call, the moderator announced that the form of answer would be "sustained" or "not sustained," and that the commissoncrs might vote "to sustain in part," but that such votes would be counted as part of the total to sustain the appeal. The roll was then called in the midst of an almost painful stillness, the spec- tators in the gallery rising to their feet in their anxiety to catch every re- sponse. The vote was announced at 10:13 by the stated clerk as follows: Whole number of votes cast, 4'.9; to sustain the appeal, 2!S; to sustain in part, 83; total to sustain the appeal, 383; not to sustain, 116. After the result had been announced. Rev. J. T. Smith of Baltimore moved the appointment of a committee of fifteen commissioners, of which Rev. Thomas A. Hovt, D. D., of Philadel phia, shall be chairman, to bring in an explanatory minute. This was carried, and, on motion of the president of La- fayette college, the moderator was authorized to appoint the committee. Peace Reigns in Nicaragua. Washington, June 1. Secretary Gresham today received the following dispatch from New York: President Socosa of Nicaragua re- signed last night. James A. Scrymser. Mr. Scrymser is president of the Cen- tral American Cable company and this dispatch is the first information that the state department has received in- dicating an end of the war in Nicar- agua. It has been unofficially stated that United States Minister Baker has been using his best efforts to bring about peace and the department is anx iously awaiting ofhcial corroboration by him of the dispatch sent by Mr. Scrym- ser, although Secretary Gresham be- lieves the latter to be trustworthy. Guarding the Public Health. Washington, D. C, June 1. Treas- ury officials are not apprehensive that cholera will appear in this country. Since last fall, when in certain Europe- an ports cholera became epidemic, the sanitary conditions have been improved and the greatest precautions known to medical science have been called into use. The United States government, both at home and abroad, is observing all the known precautions to prevent its reaching here, and these efforts will be doubly increased now that cholera cases have appeared in Ham- burg. It Is not thought necessary at this stage to quarantine against any European points, bat should cholera in- crease Secretary Carlisle wiU not hesi- tate to do so. Dr. Wyman said today he felt no alarm on the subject, but was keeping the closest kind of watch on incoming steamers from cholera infected ports. Not a Single Bid. Washington, June 3. A few days ago the Cherokee Indiaji committee ad- vertised for bids for S3,000,000 bonds guaranteed by the government. The date for opening the bids was 12 o'clock yestefdiy.- - When that htmr arrived a number of the committee and several treasury off- icials were in Secretary Carlisle's room at the treasury department. Not a Single bid was made, and the Cherokee Indian committee very plainly showed their disappointment. Concerning the bond matter Chief Harris stated to a correspondent: "We were assured by some of the bond agents that they would give us par,and they made free with talk of that kind, bat there was no bid on paper, in the way we Wanted to do business. "There seems to be a disposition on the part of some to object to the way in which the bonds are gotten up, and hence they insist that they do not care to make an investment, but that is all New York talk. "Ve Will go home in a few days and not try to sell them this tjme. If any one wants the bonds they will know where to find them and how to get them. If they do not want them we will get our money from the govern- ment when they arc due. "We will go home within a wcek.and I will soon be ready to give the secre- tary of the interior all the information in my possession concerning the fellows who should be allowed to take claims in the atrip under the severalty clause." IN THE FIELD FOIi '96. ROBERT T. LINCOLN' BOOM FOR PRESIDENT. "S It Is launched Tory Early to the Sea-se- a, Before Its Owner Has Bees Mere Week ea Bis Return From ed at Washington. WasHIS&tox, .tufJB 2. Bobert T. Lincoln has been In the country hardly a week, yet he is honored by the papers hefe with all able-bodie- d Presidential bpomlet It f fstlmated that many of the Republican leaders look upon Mr. Lincoln aa he man ttf bring back Illinois to the Republican fold. Ac-cOrdi-Of to the stoTy the Republican leaders are" casting about fpr some plan tfffecognitka, which .will giVo them new leadefB.On new lines. They ir anxious to stretigihe themselves in Indiana, Illinois and Ohio, the loss of the first two States and the narrow Mcape of the other last fall iildicated the locality of their weakness. Th? hope to redeem themselves at the h'eAt ensuing State elections. They count on the disap- pointments growing out of the distribu- tion of marshals, fourth-clas- s post officers and other patronage to weeken tfce Democrats in the next local elec- tions, and thus they expect to excite the party tti activity. Thiv are looking with a great deal of interest tti the election of Governor of Ohio. They expect to elect McKin-le- y for Governor, possibly over Camp- bell, and out of this some of tuetn let their imaginations draw a picture of a presidents campaign to come with MfcKJnley afld Robert Lincoln on their ticket to hold Ohio and Illinois, and possibly through the policy among Democrats in Indiana to give a Republican victory in Indiana. Whether the ticket should read Mc-Klnl- ey and Lincoln, or Lincoln and McKinley, Is said to make no material difference, as any arrangement of the name's WoUld make the ticket strong in the home states of the candidates. It is being .suggested also by the local wiseacres that the possibilities of .. lllinnin man in the first or second place of the Democratic ticket add to the availability of- - Mr. Lincoln. At all avr nts the Lincoln boom has been started on Its round by the Washing- ton prophets and it promises to be a source of prolific comment. Washington Notes. Washington, June 1. A few days ago the Cherokee Indian committee ad- vertised forbids for 53,000,000 bonds guarnntcd by the government. The date fiaeffor opening the bids was 12 d'clock yesterday. Wlien that hour ar- rived a number of the committee and several treasury officials were in Secre- tary Carlisle's room at the treasury de- partment. Not a single bid was made atid the Cherokee Indian committee very plaitily showed its disappoint- ment. It appears that the president is un- willing to permit Senator Allison to terminate his services as a member of the international money conference in spite of the senator's oft expressed wish of so doing, and the senator may yet consent to serve. The Star says: The president has in- dicated that he will probably call con- gress together about the 1st of October instead of the middle of September as at first contemplated. Arrival la Chicago of the Distinguished Legate of the Pope. Chicago, Jnne 2. Mgr. Satolli, the delegate in the United States of Pope Leo XIIL, arrivea in t,nicago at noon, and will remain here until June 5, when he will return to Washington. The direct object of Mgr Satolli's visit to Chicago at this time is to arouse re- ligious fervor among the Catholic Ital- ians of the city, many of whom, for wast of church accommodations and Italian-speakin- g priests, have become careless in regard to their religious duties. Incidentally the papal delegate will, it is rumored, investigate certain mit-ler- a connected with the administra- tion of the Arch-Dioce- se of Chicago. Prominent western prelates and lay- men standing high in the church will meet him. Among these will bs Archbishop Ireland of St. Paul, and it is whispered in Catholic circles that before Mgr. Satolli leaves Chicago there will be a semi-offici- al announce- ment that the Pope has been pleased to express in a special and marked way his esteem for his grace of St. Paul. Foster's Creditors Keady to Settlo Cleveland, Ohio, June 1. A largely attended meeting of the credi-tor- a of ex-Go- v. Foster was held at Fos-tori- a. Resolutions of sympathy were adopted, after which it was agreed to accept 50 cents on the dollar in pay- ment of claims, leaving it entirely with Mr. Fos er whether he should pay more if he became financially able to do so. A statement from the Gov- ernor was read, saying that he could pay 30 per cent of his debts soon and that he wanted to nay in full. First National Bank ,AjriiH,rWt.

Felix Geisinger tells howthe first agent came around and wroteout a contract for him that he wouldrod his house for 513.40; how the sec-ond agent followed with the rod andpresented a note for $150 which the as-tonished agriculturist was asked to signand, when the latter hesitated, how,with a careless smile, the agent in-formed Mr. Geisinger he would be sued.Geisinger, to avoid litigation, signedthe note. Cole Bros, is the name of thefirm, though this is not printed on theorder slips and can be changed as theagent sees fit. A number of others havebeen worked in the same way.

    When the Portal townsite was laidout, says the Papillion Times, its pro-jectors confidently anticipated thatwithin two years that suburb to a corn-field would become a great manufactur-ing center. With visions of a mightyrush of investors the townsite companyplatted about a thousand lots, decorat-ed them with trees and sidewalks andcalmly waited the shoal of suckers.They waited in vain. The suckers re-fused to suck, and now the townsitepeople want to vacate the plat and plantcorn on the land where the prospectshad picutured giant industries. AdolphPeterson, H-- Sprague, C. W. Shobert,Dr. Curti, Fred Hagadorn and othershave formed a pool to employ legal tal-ent to protect their interests, and theyare confident that they can succeed inkeeping the plat of record.

    Bloody Crime In a Nebraska Village.Battle Creek, Neb., June 3. Mrs.

    Fred Sargent was shot and killed byher husband, Fred Sargent, yesterdaymorning. The murder was committedabout 4 o'clock. Sargent chased hiswife Out df the house and she ranto the'dwelling of W. F. Rcavis. Tlie familybeing asleep, did not hear her until theshots were fired and the womanscreamed. The balls took effect, onein the back and one in the back of theneck, killing her instantly. She waslying on the front stoop of the Reavishouse when Mr. Rcavis opened his door.

    Then Sargent shot himself in thehead, the ball striking his fdreheadand glancing upward, hot brcakitig tticskull. Sargent then got the butcherknife and cut his throat. He also madea poor job of this, cutting his windpipeabout half in two, but missing the largeveins of the neck. He was found in aditch near the house on his hands andknees crawling around and trying toget up. He was taken into the houseand there he tried to get the butcherknife again, but was prevented.

    Sargent was immediately arrested,and is now in bed at the hotel underthe care of the doctor and the city mar-shal. The cause of the murder was iilpart jealousy and because Mrs. Sar-gent refused to live with her husband.

    Dr. Brlggs Lo'V Ills Cas.Washington, June 1. AftefthW usu-

    al season of devotion yesterday morn-ing the Presbyterian general assemblyproceeded to vote on the question ofsustaining thSappoal from the judg-ment of the New York presbyter ac-quitting Prof. Bfiggs of heresy. Undercall of the roll, with speeches limitedto three minutes, each member roseas called and stated whether he votedfor or against the appeal and the rea-sons thercfer. As one after another ofthe members briefly iildicated his posi-tion Dr. iBriggs became weary Of thetalk, and asked and was granted per-mission to retire. The call of the pres-byteries by states progressed as far asKansas, when a recess was taken until2 p. iil.

    After recess tlie ufe'bate continuedwith the majority of the' speakersagainst Dr. Briggs, though he found anumber of warm supporters, the mostnotable one, perhaps, being a graduateof Union theological seminary, JamesF Garvin a missionary to Chili.

    The call of the synod of New Yorkhaving been' coiripleted, Dr. Craig en-deavored id induce the assembly tocome to some amicable arrangement byunanimous consent to" cut off the floodof debate, but was unable to secure thencces-ar- j and Hid callingof the roll was continued.

    it was 8:43 o'clock when the moder-ator put the question: "Shall thespecifications Of vtrvr be sustained?"artd Dr. Roberts, the staled clerk, readth5 first sjp'eeifi ratiorf, in substalWC thatthe presbytery of New York on objections made by lir. lir. unggs itwureirth nrosecutinir committee to amend tile"amended charges and specifications bystriking out charge four. The speci-fication Was declared to be sustained bya Vpte bf 232 tb 190: The vote showedthat the aitcrfriatice' was sev'erity-scvtf-nless than the number ill .attendancewhen the vpte was taken Friday, Wr-iter tainlii? ihe appeal, the vote on whichwas 403 yeas, 144 flays:

    Specifications second to twelfth in-clusive, under the first ground ot a"p-pea- l,

    all relating to irregularities in theprJcediHgi of the New York presby-tery were 'sustained, Seriatim, some bytally and sdmer mcfel u vira voce,or rising' vote. The Briggs men showedtheir Stl'eiljrtli on snecifleatioh.four, which alleges that tud a"i otthe presbytery in not giving Dr. Briggsan opportunity to reply to alleged newmatter withbut specifying the new mat-ter w$s. irfcgrUarr The vote resulted233 to 193, sustaining the "srJeCificption.

    The second ground of appeal SllegcHthe receiving of improper testimonyand wasbas ul upon three specifications.They set up that the defendant shouldhave been sworn; that the statementsand blatter Interpolated by the defend-ant into the record were" ptfrrrMttcd toremain nf'd qiib'tations and extractsoffered by the fidfendrtnt Wcre receivedas evidence without his iiJv:n? beensworn. On first spc-ificati- on a division",was taken, the result being that thespecification was sustained 262 to 185.The others were sustained by viva vocevote.--

    The third ground df Jshe. appeal wasthat of declining to receivfe Importanttestimony, with two specifications, thaicharges four and seven were strickenout, thereby preventing the proving ofcharges. These specifications were sus-tained Without division.

    The fifth and last ground of the ap-peal cdncltidcd: ''Spe'ciicatloris of er-ror, and charges mistake qf injustice"in the decision." The specification oferror charged is the failure to convictthe defendant on competent charges,the facts being admitted by the de-fendant, that the judgment was notwarranted by the law and evidence;that the judgment Is, in fact, an ap-proval df the views embodied In tho in-augural address; that the judgement isvague, unjust and misleading; that thepresbytery was moved by unsworri andimprover testimony; that the judghie'fltis contradictory in form and effect.The votes on these specifications weretaken without a division, resulting in adeclaration that each and every onehad been sustained.

    This part of the proceedings havingbeen disposed of Kcv. .Wi C. Young ofKentucky mbved that the roll be calledand that the assembly vote on the mainquestion: "Shall the appeal be sus-tained?" which was adopted.

    Before beginning the roll call, themoderator announced that the form ofanswer would be "sustained" or "notsustained," and that the commissoncrsmight vote "to sustain in part," butthat such votes would be counted aspart of the total to sustain the appeal.The roll was then called in the midstof an almost painful stillness, the spec-tators in the gallery rising to their feetin their anxiety to catch every re-sponse.

    The vote was announced at 10:13 bythe stated clerk as follows: Wholenumber of votes cast, 4'.9; to sustainthe appeal, 2!S; to sustain in part, 83;total to sustain the appeal, 383; not tosustain, 116.

    After the result had been announced.Rev. J. T. Smith of Baltimore movedthe appointment of a committee offifteen commissioners, of which Rev.Thomas A. Hovt, D. D., of Philadelphia, shall be chairman, to bring in anexplanatory minute. This was carried,and, on motion of the president of La-fayette college, the moderator wasauthorized to appoint the committee.

Not a single bid was madeatid the Cherokee Indian committeevery plaitily showed its disappoint-ment.

    It appears that the president is un-willing to permit Senator Allison toterminate his services as a member ofthe international money conference inspite of the senator's oft expressed wishof so doing, and the senator may yetconsent to serve.

    The Star says: The president has in-dicated that he will probably call con-gress together about the 1st of Octoberinstead of the middle of September asat first contemplated.

    Chicago, Jnne 2. Mgr. Satolli, thedelegate in the United States of PopeLeo XIIL, arrivea in t,nicago at noon,and will remain here until June 5,when he will return to Washington.The direct object of Mgr Satolli's visitto Chicago at this time is to arouse re-ligious fervor among the Catholic Ital-ians of the city, many of whom, forwast of church accommodations andItalian-speakin- g priests, have becomecareless in regard to their religiousduties.

    Incidentally the papal delegate will,it is rumored, investigate certain mit-ler-a

    connected with the administra-tion of the Arch-Dioce- se of Chicago.Prominent western prelates and lay-men standing high in the church willmeet him. Among these will bsArchbishop Ireland of St. Paul, and itis whispered in Catholic circles thatbefore Mgr.
