Interest in the proceedings washeightened when it became knownthat District Attorfte Milchrist hadcaused to be" issued subpoenas forMessrs. Burnham, Cnlp asd Dickinson,of the Fair management, whom theState desired to. use as witnesses;
At 10 o'cldck Judges Woods, Jenk'nsand Grosscup, of the court of appeals,arrayed in their silk gowns, nled inand took their places on the bench.After Deputy Marshal Jones had ob-tained order) Judge Woods announcedthat Chief justice Fuller of the UnitedStates Supreme Court had been ex-pected but could not btt present owingVo a daughter's illness; that the ChiefJustice might attend the Court of Ap-peals a few days later. The courtthen set the appeal cases ttn the callfor Tuesday of next Week, and theCircuit Court of Appeals was formallydissolved.
Circuit Court was then declaredopen, and Judge Woods stated thatJudge Grosscup being a stockholderin the Fair, had declined to sit on thecase.
Meanwhile attorneys for trie con-tending parties Had come lntd courtDistrict Attorney Milchrist was ac-companied by Messrs. 'Hand, AldKch,High and Fales. Od the oppositeside wera Attorneys Walker and St.Clalir. Attorney W. E. Mason wasalso ji court, representing C. W.Ciingman, who had secured the in-junction in the State court restrain-ing the World's Fair Directors fromclosing the Exbosition gates tin .Sun-days. He had not felt called iipon: hos i id., to. file, an intervening petition,but HilrlEg the hearing of the case hewould Mke to call the attention of thecourt 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 thathe and the counsel on the opposite sidewould like to have Judge Grosscup .sitin the hearing'. He had no Idea thatJudge Grosscup would be influenced inthe slightest degaf e by the fact that heowned stock. Whan this was com-municated to Judgerosscup he againtook his seat on the -- bench, JudgeWoods remarking that the amount ofthe donation Was too small to createany prejudice, even If a suspicion ofprejudice Were possible.
Attorney Clelan'd, representing theSabbatarian party, presented the billIh which Wana maker & Brown andPratt are complainant! Against, theWorld'8 Columbian EabSsUTon. Thishe had filed in the Clerk's office a fewminutes previously, and he asked theconrt for an order Jrestrainlnff theWorld's Columbian Exposition fromopCfling its gates on Sunday and fromreturning to the Treasury the appro- -
of souvenir coins. He edthe court that notice had been
served on Attorney Edwin Walker.The latter, fenljiag: said thllt no-

The Court sustained the objection,ruling that it would only hear one billat a time. This settled the matter,and Attorney Cleland retired from anyactive participation itt the proceed-ings. . .
District Attorney Milchrist askedleave to file an amendment to theoriginal bill. This set out that theWorld's Fair directory had acceptedtwo installments of the governmentappropriation after the passage of theact setting aside $570,000 for awards,and that these acceptances were madewith full knowledge of the settingaside of the fund for awards.
Attorney alker at ottce objected tothe amendment on "the ground that itraised new and serious issues whioh hewas not then prepared to meet
Considering this objection, the conrtallowed the amendment to the originalbill, but gave leave to defendant coun-sel to take time to file an amendmentto their answer, which would meet thepoints raised to the amendment to thebill. A decision will not be reachedbefore

On behalf of the fair it was" arguedthai 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 thatorder or the order of the state courtholding that the park, being for the re-creation; and enjoyment of the people,they cduld not be kcpt odt tm any dayof the week. The court asked If the'lbglc.bf this was. that no. entrance feeGdiild be1 charged: The attorney fbrtHefair said no, because 8i the largeamount of money spent in building theimprovements the fair directory wasentitled to charge a fee. This had al-ready been decided in effect.

How the thing willstand in the senate is another story,but it will probably be found that thefinance committee, at the head of whichis Senator Vdortiecs, who has bCeii re-garded as strongly favoring silver willhave a majority for the repeal of tinpresent law.

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.
Bering: Sea Cases.Washington, June 3. Unofficial ad-
vices from members of the Americancommission in Paris in connection withthe Bering sea arbitration do not givenny hope of an early termination of thepresent proceedings, besides Sir CharlesRussell, whose speech has just closed.Great Britain will present four otherattorneys, but how much time they willrequire it is impossible, of course, toforetelL After they have finished, Mr.Phelps and Mr. H. W. Blodgett of theconsul for the United States are still tobe heard. It is probable, however.thatabout July 1 some of the attaches tothe American commission will be de-tached and return to this country. After the argument has been concludedthe arbitrators have three months inwhich to render their decision. It ishoped that the final result would bereached by October 1, at which time themodus vivendi, at present in existence,regulating the legitimate catch of sealsin the Bering sea, will expire by theterms of the treaty of arbitration.

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.

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.

Guarding the Public Health.Washington, D. C, June 1. Treas-
ury officials are not apprehensive thatcholera will appear in this country.Since last fall, when in certain Europe-an ports cholera became epidemic, thesanitary conditions have been improvedand the greatest precautions known tomedical science have been called intouse. The United States government,
both at home and abroad, is observingall the known precautions to preventits reaching here, and these efforts willbe doubly increased now thatcholera cases have appeared in Ham-burg. It Is not thought necessary atthis stage to quarantine against anyEuropean points, bat should cholera in-crease Secretary Carlisle wiU not hesi-tate to do so.
Dr. Wyman said today he felt noalarm on the subject, but was keepingthe closest kind of watch on incomingsteamers from cholera infected ports.

Concerning the bond matter ChiefHarris stated to a correspondent: "Wewere assured by some of the bondagents that they would give us par,andthey made free with talk of that kind,bat there was no bid on paper, in theway we Wanted to do business.
"There seems to be a disposition onthe part of some to object to the way inwhich the bonds are gotten up, andhence they insist that they do not careto make an investment, but that is allNew York talk.
"Ve Will go home in a few days andnot try to sell them this tjme. If anyone wants the bonds they will knowwhere to find them and how to getthem. If they do not want them wewill get our money from the govern-ment when they arc due.

IN THE FIELD FOIi '96.
ROBERT T. LINCOLN' BOOMFOR PRESIDENT.
"SIt Is launched Tory Early to the Sea-se- a,

at Washington.
WasHIS&tox, .tufJB 2. Bobert T.Lincoln has been In the country hardlya week, yet he is honored by the papershefe with all able-bodie- d Presidentialbpomlet It f fstlmated that manyof the Republican leaders look uponMr. Lincoln aa he man ttf bring backIllinois to the Republican fold. Ac-cOrdi-Of
to the stoTy the Republicanleaders are" casting about fpr some plantfffecognitka, which .will giVo themnew leadefB.On new lines. They iranxious to stretigihe themselves inIndiana, Illinois and Ohio, the lossof the first two States and the narrowMcape of the other last falliildicated the locality of theirweakness. Th? hope to redeemthemselves at the h'eAt ensuing Stateelections. They count on the disap-pointments growing out of the distribu-tion of marshals, fourth-clas- s postofficers and other patronage to weekentfce Democrats in the next local elec-tions, and thus they expect to excitethe party tti activity.
Thiv are looking with a great dealof interest tti the election of Governorof Ohio. They expect to elect McKin-le- y
for Governor, possibly over Camp-bell, and out of this some of tuetn lettheir imaginations draw a picture of apresidents campaign to come withMfcKJnley afld Robert Lincoln on theirticket to hold Ohio and Illinois, andpossibly through the policyamong Democrats in Indiana to give aRepublican victory in Indiana.
Whether the ticket should read Mc-Klnl- eyand Lincoln, or Lincoln and
McKinley, Is said to make no materialdifference, as any arrangement of thename's WoUld make the ticket strongin the home states of the candidates.
It is being .suggested also by thelocal wiseacres that the possibilities of.. lllinnin man in the first or secondplace of the Democratic ticket add tothe availability of- - Mr. Lincoln. Atall avr nts the Lincoln boom has beenstarted on Its round by the Washing-ton prophets and it promises to be asource of prolific comment.
Washington Notes.Washington, June 1. A few days
ago the Cherokee Indian committee ad-vertised forbids for 53,000,000 bondsguarnntcd by the government. Thedate fiaeffor opening the bids was 12d'clock yesterday. Wlien that hour ar-rived a number of the committee andseveral treasury officials were in Secre-tary Carlisle's room at the treasury de-partment. 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. Satolli leaves Chicagothere will be a semi-offici- al announce-ment that the Pope has been pleasedto express in a special and markedway his esteem for his grace of St.Paul.
