either way on the Enumeration bill. Tho
a tciOnce was not disappointed. Thero was a
fine entertainment It reminded the audience
io much of the old-time minstrel show that
they lauchcd and applauded until the por
formers left tholr seats. The Senators had not
taken the trouble to oork their faces, but tho
irrnncotm nt of tho scats Is like the line ot
chairs at a mlnstrol show, and the talking was
done by tho erd men. with interlocutory
remarks by a Senator In the middle, while the
Lleutonant-Oovornor, like Brother Hones, said
humorous things that put everybody in good
spirits excel the Senators ho talked to.
Brother Coggoshall nnd Brother Asplnall
were the end mon. and Brother Cantor was In

Honed to talk, becauso he is in contempt still,
tut ho made things funnier bymnklnc faces

Well
Alter a little silence Brothor Asplnall In
quired dramatically: "Is this the Senate ot

Brother Cantor assured him that it was.
Brother Asplnall I didn't ask you. I asked
the President, Are you the Prosldent?
"Is the Senator speaking by ununlmouscon

Tho trial of tho Bev. A. a Dill, the former
pastor ot tho Presbyterian Church In Stirling.
N.J,. accused ot immoral conversations, im
proper conduct, and untruthfulness, was re
sumed yesterday before the Presbytery at
Morrlstown. Two witnesses testified for tho
prosecution, and in the afternoon tho dotonce
of the young pastor was begun. Tho sessions
aro secret
Tho whole morning waa consumed In talk
ing about tho accounts 'of tho trial that have
been published In the newspapers. Tho Pros
bytery has mado every effort to keep tho pro
ceedings secret, and the conclusion was forced
upon them that tlioro must be a traitor
among thorn. Stenographer MoMastors was
slnglod out first and affidavits wero rend de
claring tint ho had offered his notes of the
trial to dlfforcntNow York papers. Whenhodo
med thu chnrgo suspicion was llxod on Lawyor
Conklin, Pastor Dill's adviser, and tho sorgeant
at-armswas called upon to testify to a num
ber of proceedings that gave ground for tho
suspicion. Then It was suggostod that dlffer
otit witnesses had violated their pledzo ot
Focroc7. In the ond a committeo of throo was
nppulntod to investigate the way the newspa
pers got thn nows.
This committee. It was tald Inst night, arm
ed with tho nuthorlty of tho Prcsbtery, is to
cull upon dlfferout editors nnd reporters in
New York to day and demand of them from
what sourco thoy obtained their Information.
When tho trial finally got under way. Elder
Nelson Hughson ot the Mount Freedom
Church told now Pastor Dill had become. n
gagod to marry his stepdaughter. Miss Lucy
Thompson, it 'id how the engagement wus
broken
Miss Thompson accompanied her stopfather
to Morrlstown jesterday. ami wus reudy to go
on the witness stand. She is "J3 ye trs ot ago,
with darit hair and eyes and a rosy complex
ion. When Mr, Dill was pastor of the
Mount Freodom Church before ho went to
btlrling sho was ono ot lib congregation.
After tho two hecamo engagod. hn not only
continued his alleged flirtations with tlio other
young women of his congregation, but his
demonstrations of affection for Miss Thomp
son became so ofTonstvo to hor that she could
stand It no Ion gor. Onebundny morning shn
went Into church uftei the greater part of tho
enncr'gntion hud arrived and tho service was
about to begin. The young pastor vvas in the
pulpit but when ho saw his bctrothod enter
ho stopped down, walked up tho atslo to whero
she was. nnd kissed hor before tho wholo con
gregation. On numerous other occasions bolore that ho
had used thn privilege of their relation to kiss
her in public. Miss Thompson returned tho
engagement ring, along with all other presents
ho had bostoweduton her, and announced
thnt tho engagement was at an end.
AftorMr. Dill went to Stirling he wrote two
letters to Miss Thompson, tolling her ho was
willing to ronew tho engagement If sho was
unwilling, ho asked of her to dnnys;hat they
had ever been engaged, and he would do tho
same thing. Miss Tliompson has tho two let
tors in hor possession, and is ready to produce
them In evidence
I Idor Hughson testified that while nt Mount
Freedom Mi. Dill had made a practlco of call
ing on young women nt his congregation nt
unseasonable hours. Ho repoated also nn Im
moral and degrading statement that ho said
tho young tnlutster had made to him In tho
course of a conversation.
TheBnv William Holllnshod testified to tho
truth of affidavits as printed in TrtE bus last
wnek.
The defence, as outlined yesterday, will at
tempt to show, Mr st. that many of the charges
aro due to the animus whioh H. G. Torroy lias
against Mr. Dill. Bosldes den) ing tho alleged
conversations in toto.lnsoroncasos an attempt
will be made to establish an alibi for Mr. Dill,
and ovldnnee will bo advanced to show that
many of tho witnesses continued their cor
dial relations wllh the pastor and even
took pains to praise, htm 1 .after tho
alleged conversations Took plnee. The wit
nesses put on tlio stand vestorday by the de
fence all tustillcd to Mr. Dill's good character.

Mr. Pumpellv. who for some years has been
one of Mr. Dill's most intimate friends, said
last night-
"I am trying to porsuade Mr. Dill to resign
from the Presbytery and get away from all
this. 1 wont him to go to New York nnd join
the Salvation Vrmy. I think his ability is
just suited to that work, and he would inako a
great name for hlmsolf."
Tho accused pastor wos ns oheerful asevor
yesterday. Ho woro a small hunch of violets
in the buttonhole of his blue frock coat
"1 am tho happiest man of tho lot." ho said
to a Suv reporter: "thero is an almost con
tinual smile on my countenance I rejoice in
ray tribulations, nnd I thank God for this
flory nttack. It gives me an opportunity to

of twelve young people sons and daughters ot

They wont out comfortably packed In a two

lively ride started homeward. To lessen the
distance, the driver took n short cut over
an unused road that wound along tho top
of a stool hill. Everything was coated
with an Inch ot ico and tho road was
ns slippery as class. Whon tho horses reached
the hill top, when an accident was imminent
ns nt every stop the sleigh slipped closer to tho
proclplco which bordored the lower side, the
driver tried to turn tho horsos, but too late,
and tho sleigh was swept ov e tho edge.
All were so socuroty packed In tho bottom of
tho sleigh that thoy could not jump out At

WARmsoTov. Jan. IR-For the fltot time
Blnco tho controvory with Chill nroso Secio
tary Illatno to-dny Intlmnted. In conversitlon
with a Mend, that tho proipect of avuldlnir
sorloUBtroublo with tho Uttlo South American
republii: it not llnttorinc. This remark wat
undoubtedly catiRod by tho latest Incident of
thoqun'rol, which is tho very mirprlslnc In
sult offered to Commindor Hv.tns of tho YorU
town. It Is inconceivable to tlio President nnd
Secretaries lllalne and Tracy why tho
III feellns of tho Chilians toward the
United States should bo curled so fur
that Commander Kvans must be repri
manded for showing thn usual courtesy
of u saluto to tho Sp-mhh official visltlnc Ids
vessel. Until this Incident ocurred Secret ir
IJIalnownsunchatiKcnMyot tho opinion that
Minister Monlt's assurances, that his Govern
ment woro peaceably inclined and that thoy
would do the propor thine at tho propor time,
would bo mado cood. Mr. Ilhino is still
hopeful, but ho and President Harrison nnd
Kjscretnry Tracy privately fear that IL will ho
necessary after all to send an ultimatum to the
Chilian Government.
Very little Is tulLod of In AVashlnBtonnow
except the subject of war. nnd each day that
passes ndds to tho foelinc thnt there Is serious
trouble ahead. Interost In the meeting of tho
Senato and House Is for tho time belnsrnt a
very lovvobb. The two bodlos are peccint:
alone In a humdrum sort of way, hut their un
important doings nre lo-t sight of in the fever
ish nniet) concerning the probabilities of
war. It is stilted unofllclally. but quite posi
tively, that tho message of the Presidont
will- go to Congress on Thursday, if, in
tlio mean time, no assurances of reparation
aro received from tho Chilian Government.
The met.sno Is all In tpo. nnd has
heon for seveial dins. Tho President
is now awaiting the return of Judge Advocate
Homey and a ropoit from Capt. sUiley. giving
tnoreln detail than he has yet done the facts
as to the assault on the sailors in Valparaiso,
and the subsequent mi culled investigation of
the Chilian authorities. hen these reports
ato received there will bo nothing more for
tho President to wait for, and therefore It is
thought that by Thursday the interesting cor
respondence will bo sent to Congress.
This much-tnlked-of message will not bo so
warlike in tono ns has been indicated und will
hardly go further thin to mnko v ery pluin that
tho correspondence makos out a perfect case
far the United Ktates, upon which the Presi
dent fcols justified In demanding nn apology
for the nntinued Insulting treatment receivod
at the hands of Chili. Thero is no question
whatever that the President's attitude and
recommendations will bo hustuinod by Con
gressmen without regard to party, nnd that If
Wtr must como the necessnry appropriations
will bo frocly nud promptly glvon. A
Iiiro majority of tho most level-headed
nnd heft-Informed mombors of both
IIousos nre firm in the belief thut
tho demand ujion Chill for reparation
will not havoto IUi pressed beyond tho point
of tho President's message, for theso men
think that when Chill is convinced that the
United States is in dead carnost she will at
onco apologize. Indeed, Minister Montt Is do
ing ovcrythlnc In his power to create tho Im
pression that hla Government is peacefully in
clined, and that they only desiro tlmo for tho
co";pletlon of tholr judicial Investigations. In
a public interview Mr. Montt sain that ho wel
comes the publication of tho diplomatic corre
spondence of tho piibt two or throe months
for he Is confident that it contains nothing that
will add to tho eist!ng ill will bct.veenthetno
count! les Senor Montt, In fuot, thinks that
tho publication of tho correspondence will
cause thn people of tho United States to ho pa
tient, 'iho Minister Is In dally consultation
with Mr. lilnino, and even to-d iy. w lion the Iat
tet was unwell, the Chilian managed to get a
few word i with him
Tho frequency of Mlnlstor Montt's visits to
the Secretary of State Is tho olilef ciuso of tho
roportsso porsltontly made that Mr. lllulno
is using his inlluonco against thatof President
Harrison and Kecrotury Trucy In tho interests
of peace at auy price. Kuch reports nre not
founded on fact, und a momber ot tho Cablnot,
who has been consulted as to ovory phase ot
tho Chilian controversy, is authority for tho
statement that the Secretary of Stato has all
along stood as firm for the rights of the Unlt.'d
Stntosasan) of his colletguos. In fact this
mombor of tho Cabinet says that tho President
has relied almost untlrely upon Mr. Blaine's
advlco In making up his mind us to tho proper
course to bo pursued.
Whether justified or not, thoro Is a genulno
war fooling beginning to pervade the air of
Washington, and a splrltof unrost, unlike any
thing known for many years, has settled upon
the city. Congressmen, politicians, nnd pub
lic officials talk war all day, nnd In the corri
dors and rooms of the Navy Department all Is
bustle und suppressed excitement The ante
room out of which opons tho ofllio
of Hecrotary Tracy Is llllod nil day with
anxious callers very few or whom reach his
official 'iir. His slnff of bureau chiefs are
busy consulting mai s and deciphering cable
gram, and tho erstwhile dreumy and half
petrilled clerks have been Mlrrod Into
a condition of activity thnt is surnrlMng in the
extreme. The belief nnd hopo that thero will
actually be a war, if only u little one, scums to
be morn senernl among the Southern than tho
Northern men In Congress. Delng horn light
ers, theso men aro eagor for the fray. Thoy
are also anxious to show how sincere they aro
in tholr pronounced loyalty to tho Government
and the old Hug. The action of Gen. Herbert
of Alabama In Introducing a bill removing the
military disability of tho ox-Confederates wus
born Inrgely of tho desiro to put on loonrd the
fact thnt Southern men aro now ns patriotic an
their Northern brothers, and just ns anxious to
maroh against aoommon foe. It is not likely,
howovor, that Mr. Herbert's bill will pass, or
that any serious effort will bo made in that
direction.
Tho corridors of the Navy Hepartment wero
thronged nllday lu Congrossim n and oMlclals,
whiKuniub invitation or volunturlly to full;

Iho question of putting inch and a half

Is reported that tho idea is a fonsiblo ouo. and
would not Interfere with the efficiency of tho

pervious to the shot from light batteries, a

A few members havo talked a little In spite
