QUAY iNACAUCUS
Attempts to Prevent the Ad
mission of Two More
Democratic States.
HE YET HAS SOME HOPES
Of Preventing the Enemy From Con
trolling the Next Senate.
HARKISOX'S MESSAGE OUT TO-DAY.
Especial Ifforts to Prevent Its Trema
lure Publication.
HOW GRANT ONCE WORKED REPORTERS
TTTClk. TEtrnHAV TO TIIK DISFATCIt.l
"WASHijfGToy, Dec. fi. Two interesting
incidents developed in the caucus ot Re
publican Senators to-day. The first and
most atrikitic discovery was the absence of
Senator Stewart, of Nevada, from the cau.
eus of his former associates and the intima
tion that he does not intend toco into any
more dark-lantern sessions with the Repub
licans. His absence occasions some severe
criticism and caused much speculation as to
how he will vote hereafter on political
questions. The second surprise was the
strong sentiment against the admission of
Arizona, Ifew Mexico and Utah to the Sis
terhood ot States.
Tne caucus was called ostensibly for the
purpose of considering Tacanc es in the
various committees. It was not until after
the Senate convened that the call was
issued or, to be correct, circulated. Early
in the session to-day Captain Basett was
designated to pass around the chamber and
verbally notify the Republicans that a
mucus 'would be held immediately after
the adjournment.
Why the Caucns Was Called.
As soon as the caucus met it was appa
rent that the "committee" business was a
bluff, for upon examination it was found
that no vacancies existed, consequently
there was no occasion for changes, benator
Quay soon revealed the real object of tho
meeting by introducing a resolution pro
idins that no action be taken upon the
Territorial bills during the present Congress.
The friend-; ot the bills at once suspected
that the Senator from Pennsylvania had
some political object in view, because he is
not a member ot the Committee on Territo
ries. It was also suggested that in con
sequence of the disputes in certain Eastern
States over the political complexion ot the
Legislatures there is no occasion for undue
baste in admitting two or three new State?.
Before Senator Quav had an opportunity
tn explain just why lie was opposed to ac
tion during the present sesion, Senator
Manderson introduced an entirely new
proposition. He proposed to add the three
Territories to the adjacent States.
Carer Opposed to Qnay's Plan.
Senator Carey, who is in charge of the
bills, appealed to his associates not to take
the step proposed by Senator Quay until
some examination of the conditions exist
ing in the Territories interested could be
made.
Then followed a warm discussion, in
which it was claimed that the political
complexion of the Territories cut no figure
in the controversy. It was urged by the
opponents of the measure that a majority of
the citizens of Xaw Mexico are of Spanish
extraction, who do not even speak the
English language. Then the old story
about Arizona's indebtedness was revived
and dweltupon with more or less stubborn
ness. Senator Carev replied that he did not
care to be placed in the position of antag
onizing his party friends, but alter a cire
iul and conscientious investigation of the
subject he believed it to be the duty of the
Senate to admit the Territories named to
Statehood.
The Sentiment Against Sir. Carey.
The sentiment seemed against him, and
was so determined that he would have been
beaten had a rote been taken, lie asked
that action be delaved until the Territories
rould be further heard on the subject. In
deference to his request the subject was
postponed for future consideration in
caucus.
Some of the Republicans reasoned that as
soon as the Democrats obtain control of the
Senate they will proceed at once to pass
these bills, consequently the Republicans
might as well get the credit for admitting
them.
It is understood that Senator Quay and
some ot his followers still hope to save the
Senate from Democratic control. How lie
proposes to do it, however, has not vet been
revealed, for some ot the most partisan
Senators, including Messrs. Hale, Dawes,
Piatt and even Teller, concede that the
Democrats will control the organization.
Senator Felton, of California, and Senator
Sanders, of Montana, admit they will be
succeeded by Democrats.
i The bill was introduced by Representative
Ammermau, ot fennivtvania, anq vas re
ferred to the Ways and Means Committee.
WORLD'S FAIR ON SUNDAY.
The Initial Strps Taken to Open the Build,
ings Every Day.
Washington, Dec. 5. The initial step
looking to the enactment ot legislation for
the opening of the "World's Fair on Sunday
was taken to-day, when Representative
Durborrow, of Illinois, Chairman ot the
Committee on the Columbian Exposition,
introduced in the House a joint resolution
making it the duty of the World's Colum
bian Commission to make such rules
or modifications of the rules of
the corporation known as the World's
Columbian Exposition as will prohibit the
use on Sundays of machinery, unnecessary
manual labor and all merchandising, and at
the same time give" opportunity for the
study of the highest standard of artistloaiid
mechanical science; that the art gallery,
horticultural building and all other build
ings In which exhibits of mechanical art are
Installed shall be open to the public ev.ery
day, and that each employe shall be given
one day of each week lor rest, study or
recreation.
In the House to-day, Mr. Bineham, of
Pennsylvania, presented a petition of the
Bishops of the African Methodist Episco
pal Church and of the African Methodist
Episcopal Zion Church, tepresenting 4,000,
000 colored people, in relation to the col
ored people at the World's Fair. It says
that the moral, intellectual and Industrial
progress and development of the colored
people during the fint quarter century of
their freedom should be made to lorm a
part ot the Government exhibit at the
World's Fair.

A TOTE IN THE SMITH CASE TO-DAi
What Uncle Bam Needs Next Tear.
Washington, Dec. 5. The Secretary of
the Treasury to-day transmitted to Con
gress the estimates of appropriations re
quired for the service for the fiscal year
ending June 30, 1891. The total estimates;
are 5421,612,213, being 512.003,522 more
than the estimates and $1,649,755 less than
the appropriations lor the present fiscal
year.
L & 0. BITERS BITTEN.
Two of McClnre's Spies Mulcted Badly as
Patrons or a. Speak-Eay.
McKeespokt, Dec 5. Special.' Mayor
Tilbrook was never heard to give a sharper
reprimand than he administered this morn
ing to two agents of the so-called Law and
Order Society in police court this morning.
One B. Barrett, who has been passing as a
carpenter from Pittsburg, and John
Williams, who claimed to bail from Ken
tucky, were taken with others in the raid
made on "Con" Hickey's speak-easy yester
day. It was developed that Barrett and
Williams are both spies for Agent McClure,
Ed Poole, who is also a spotter for the
Law and Order Society, came here and gave
the whole business away by informing
Mayor Tilbrook as to the business ot Bar
rett and Williams, evidently under the im
pression that the Mayor would commend
the men for the work they were doing, or
at least be lenient with them.
On the contrary, His Honor gave them
such a scoring as they probably hare not
heard for a long time, based on the admitted
fact that they were not only guilty with the
others ot violating the law, but that they
were breaking the law for the most de
spicable of all purposes the treacherous
betrayal of their companions in cussedness.
This view of the case was evidently a
grievous surprise to the agents of the Law
and Order Society, and their pained
astonishment became indignant consterna
tion when, after fining the 11 others who
were caught in the place $5 each and costs,
the Mayer socked Messrs. Barrett and
Williams 510 each and costs in their re
spective cases.
HARRISON'S MESSAGE TO-DAY.
Extra Precautions Being Taken to Prevent
Premature Publlcat.on.
Washington, Dec. 5. 'pedal The
extraordinary pains being taken by Presi
dent Harrison to prevent the premature
publication of the message which he will
send to Congress to-morrow, are in line
with like efforts put iorth by his prede
cessors. It is only in recent years, indeed,
that Presidental messages have been put
in tvpe until after they had been read to
the both Houses of Congress.
Even at so late a date'as 1869, when Presi
dent Grant sent in his first annual message,
he issued strict orders that only two manu
script copies of it should be made, and no
other copy of any kind. These manuscripts
he kept in his own possession until,thev
were taken by his private secretarr to the
Capitol. These copies after being read were
sent at once to the Public Printer, and the
reporters of the Congressional Jiecord never
saw them untiljhe proofs were sent them
late afnight, tobe made a part of the next
morning's Jiecord. The newspapers, of
. course, bad no access to the message on the
day it was read, but the proprietor of a
Washington newspaper succeeded in pub
lishing the message on the day after its de
livery by having the entire document taken
down by shorthand as it was read in the
Seuate.
TEACE TO BS KEPI IN SAMOA.
Three Great Governments 'Win Preserve It

Washington, Dec. 5. Inquiry rt the
Department of State confirms a cablegram
from London to the effect that the govern,
ments or England, Germany and the United
Stntes have agreed to common action to
restore order in Samoa.
It is further learned that ships have
been sent by the three nations to preserve
peace in Samoa and the agreement is each
government shall keep one or mote snips
Ihere all the time for that purpose. The
United States steamer Alliance is now on
her way there, having left San Francisco
for Samoa some time ago.

CleTO'and's Cabinet.
Chicago, Dec. C W. L Buchanan,
Chief" of Agriculture and acting chief of
the departments of live stock and forestry
of the World's Fair, may retire from the
Exposition. If Chief Buchanan quits the
World's Fair it will be to step into Jerry
Busk's shoes and become Secretary of Agri
culture in President-elect Cleveland's Cabi
net For sime time the Democratic poli
ticians of Iowa have been booming
Buchanan for a place in the Cabinet.
Lost week K. J. Richardson, member
of the National Democratic Committee from
Iowa, went to Heir York to urge Mr. Cleve
land's advisers to put the Iowa man in Jer
emiah Husk's chair.
Governor Boies would seem to be the
natural choice it any IoTranwere taken into
the Cabinet, but he is reported as being
heartily in favor of Chief Buchanan's ap
pointment. They are warm friends, and
have been for years. "Would you accept
the place?" Mr. Buchanan was asked to
day. "I refuse to accept anything," he re
plied, "until it has been oflered to me.
Until such time I have nothing to say."

A Defeated Candidate Alleges Fraud
Every One of this Precincts.
Meadville, Dec. 5. The contest of W.
H. Andrews for a certificate of election to
the Assembly was begnn in the Crawford
county courts to-day? Mr. Higby. the re
spondent, filed a voluminous document al
leging frauds, etc. Allegations that were
met by a counter charge of Au J rows' al
leged fraud in every election precinct in
the county, and asking for a recount of
the ballots.
Mr. Andrews' original motion was based
on constitutional . grounds which alleged
that the townships voted illegally by count
ing their votes in neighboring boroughs.

A Bursting Boiler Perhaps Fatally Injures
Two Ohio Brothers.
Alliance, Dec. 6. Apecial Early
this morning one of the boilers of the
Grafton Furnace Company, of Leetonia,
east of here, exploded with terrific violence,
Completely wrecking the big boiler house
and doing considerable damage to the plant
Two brothers, named Winters, who were
the engineer and fireman on duty at the
time, were pernaps latallv injured.
Even if they recover, the concussion of
the explosion has destroyed the hearing of
both oi them, the drums of their ears being
burst. The loss will aggregate several
thousands of dollars.
New Tohk, Dec. 5. For the first time
since the ecclesiastical court, where Dr.
Briggs is on trial tor heresr, was convened
the merits of the case against the defendant
were discussed to-day. All the objections
filed by Dr. Briggs had been disposed of at
the previous sessions, and the supporters
and opponents alike of the defendant ex
pressed extreme gratification that the deoks
had at last been cleared for action. When
the arguments had subsided, Colonel Mc
Cook said he had some additional evidence
to oiler in behalf of the prosecution. To
this Dr. Briggs interposed no objections,
and the evidence was received.
Dr. Briccs was asked by the Moderator
to submit his evidence. It was eyen more
voluminous than that brought against him.
The defendant, like his adversaries, oflered
in evidence the whole of the Holy Script
ures, the King James, the Hebrew, Greek
and revised English versions. The uelend-
ant also put in the whole of the Standard of
the Church and the whole of the Inaugural
address in all its editions, prefaces and ap
nendex. The conv of the last edition of
the address was placed in the hands of each
member ot the court.
, Colonel MoCoolc Insists on a Detail.
At 4:15 Dr. Briggs concluded reading
from his evidence. When he had finished.
Colonel McCook again arose and insisted
that the defendant be sworn as to the test!
mouy he had read, iu conformity with the
"Book." Dr. Briggs replied by saying
that there might be a difference between the
"Book" and Colonel McConk's interpreta
tion of the "Book." The "Book" did not
provide lor administering any oath upon
the submission of mere documentary evi
dence. Dr. Briggs said:
I fully realize the puipose of the prosecu
tlon. It wants to get the advantage or
oi oss-examlntn.t me before lhae submitted
ny on oral ovldence. This Is tho most
outrngeou conran of conduoc I huvo over
heard proposed. Applame.)
Colonel McCook did not think it was an
outrage. However, he was disposed to
n ai ve that point, but would ljke to have his
exception sated.
"It vou doubt my honor you may do so,
but I have done all' I shall do in this mat
ter," said'tlie defendant
".No," said the doctor; "not fora moment.
We don't do that; but we wish to proceed
in order," explained the Colonel quickly.
Dr. Briggs "Wins a Point
Moderator Bliss decided that Dr. Briggs
distinction between oral and documentary
evidence was well taken, and succeeded by
it in bringing down an avalanche of ap
plause and tome hisses, both from the body
of the hall and from the galleries.
"If this exhibition is repeated I shall In
sist that the galleries' be cleared," exclaimed
Dr. Parson, jumping to his feet
The Moderator named the visitors in the
gallerv that thev mut not applaud. Col
onel McCook offered an exception then to
the Moderator's decision, and Dr. Francis
Brown moved that the decision be accepted
as that os the Presbyterv His motion was
carried by a large majority.
Dr. G. "W. Birch, a layman of the Prose
cuting Committer, opened the case for the
prosecution. He began the reading of a
long documept. the first part of which wbs
devoted to reviewing the history of the
case. The prosecution would show, he
said, "that the teachings of Dr. Briggs are a
life-slab, a life-stroke at the "Westminster
"Sta .dards. There ira difference between'
cutting a minute vein and a main artery.
Dr. Briggs cut the artery of Presbyter!
anism. When Dr. Birch had arrived at the
''charges," it was decided to take a recess
until to-morrow, as the 8 o'clock limit was
nearly up. To-morrow charges 1 and 2 will
be taken up.
A Fight From the Start In Smith's Case.
A dispatch from Cincinnati says: The
trial of Prof. Henry Preserved Smith was
resumed by the Cincinnati Presbytery this
morning. A motion to excuse Bev. Mr.
Carson for absence at the last session re
ceived one negative vote. This led Dr.
McKibben, of the prosecution, to give
notice that hereafter the strict rule would
be applied to the defense, that now some
induced against the prosecution. He inti
mated that the vote against Iter. Mr. Car
son was because he was counted among
those favoring the prosecution. The mem
ber who voted against excusing Bev. Mr.
Carson said he would withdraw the vote.
Prof. Smith said that, the prosecution
having ofieied in evidence portions of his
printed response and rejoinder to the
charges against him, be desired permission
to offer the entire document Dr. McKib
ben insisted that if he did he must go upon
the stand, be sworn and submit to a cross
examination. Prof. Smith said he oflered
this evidence as an attorney directing his
own case, and he maintained that when a
portion of a document is introduced by one
side the other has the right to introduce the
whole of it
Decided Against the Professor.
A long discussion followed. The Prose
cution Committee Withdrew the insinua
tions that they had made from the docu
ment in evidence, and the Moderator then
ruled that Prof. Smith's request could not
be granted. An appeal was taken, but the
Moderator was sustained and an exception
was noted.
The testimony for the prosecution was
then read to sustain the second and third
charges, which accuse Prof. Smith of deny
ing the inspiration of the writers of the
Scriptures to the extent of making the
utterances tree from error when interpreted
in their natural and intended sense, and of
denying that the Scriptures are inspired in
the sense in which the Scriptures them
selves define inspiration, or as it is defined
by the Confession of Faith. The reading
was from Prof. Smith's pamphlet and from
the Scriptures.
Elder Shields and Dr. Lowe began the
argument for the prosecution. A vote may
be reached to-morrow.

who was counted out by the canvassing
board, arrived this morning with a certI6ed
statement from the .deputy clerk, showing
his election by 30 majority. He was

and filed the certified returns.
He said that W. G. Husey, who certified
the incorrect returns, had not been seen
since Thursday. The people were up in

Boston, Dec 5. The Globe this after
noon prints an interview with one of the
members of the grand jury which bad
before it the case of Lizzie Borden. The
jnror is reported as saying that the At
torney General and the District Attorney,
in particular, were so much worked
up over the abuse to which they
were subjected, that they sent lor Andrew
J. Jennings (of counsel for the defense)
and asked him to put in the evidence for
defense, and he did so. Mr. Know, of
Salback, took no part in the matter, but left
It to the jurors to ask the questions. Said
thejnror:
Tha Government wltnessos, snid the
Juror, were reluctant and acted as if thoy
wanted to believe Lizzie Borden Innocent.
The witnesses for tho defonse, however,
came in, testified freely and handled ns
truthlessly, to say the least. At tho
eleventh honr the friends of Lizzlo lloiden
came up penitent or consclenco strickon
and told that which clinched the case in the
minds or the Jurors. I think the District
Attorney was ntlsfled ho oould not not the
indictment without the admissions made
Dy tho defense.
Wo found a bill against Lizzie A. Borden
the day before we -came in, and the next
mornlug.wuen we were considering another
case, the District Attorney read ns a letter
which he had received from Brattleboro,
Tt , which was that tho best tliin-' he, the
District Attorney could do, was to let
Lizzie Borden out and look- Bridget Snlllvan
up In one cell and John V. Morsoln another,
ending: "Xow, H the Juroig find a bill
against LIzzio . Borden, look out for AVhlto
Caps." The District Attorney got lots of
letters about the case, and after theTeccss tt
was that the friends of Lizzie said they
mlslit as well tell all they knew about the
CISC
Speaking of the Borden -case to-night,
Andrew J. Jennings said he did not axpect
that Mini Borden .would be arraigned to
morrow, as has been published. The theory
of the law i that when an arraignment tor
the commission of a capital crime Is made,
defendant, besides pleading, will also
have an opportunitv to sav who shall be
appointed to defend her. The appointment
is made by the Presiding Judge. There is
no doubt that in this case Miss Borden will
want Mr. Jennings to continue to act for
her, consequentlv Mr, Jennings feels that
when Mr. Pillsbury shall determine the
dato-of the arraignment he (Mr. Jennjngs)
will by courtesy be notified. Mr. Jennings
believes that an arraignment will be made
within two weeks at the latest.
AHLWARDT'S SENSATION.
A Sniclde Hard Tressed by Hebrews Bald
to Have Let the Cat Out of the Bag.
Berlin, Dec 5. The documents in the
Hector Ahlwardt case were read in camera,
as it was feared that the public, lacking
technical knowledge, might exaggerate the
importance of tho aQair. The story circu
lated and generally credited, is that a prom
inent officer, heavily indebted to and hard
pressed by Hebrews, sent the document on
which the charges were based to Ahlwardt
and them committed suicide.
The secret documents were finally read in
open court this afternoon. They show that
20 out of 039 Loewe rifles te'sted for the
Landwehr at AVesel required repairs.
Colonel Brake, in his report, declares that
these defects do 'not prove that the rifles
are unserviceable, as the slightest mistake
in manufacture-involves repairs.
