Ar rangements were quickly made, and the princess, accompanied by the Marquea Don Pedro de Jovar and Commander Davis, drove' to a photographer's. The maid and two detectives followed in a close carriage witn the royal jewels. The infanta was in excellent spirits all day, and seemed to be particularly pleased with today's programme, although it kept her moving nearly all day, after her return from the ptiotogiapher's, and would have tired out a less ener getic woman. The princess entertained a select party of Spanish friends at her 1-2 o'clock breakfast, and saw several members of the committee of one hun dred who called in reference to the en tertainments planned for the remainder of the week. At 2 o'clock this after uoon the infanta, accompanied by the prince, the mariiuesa, the Duke of Tamanies, Mayor Gilroy and Randolph Guggenheimer, chairman of .he execu tive committee of the normal college, drove to tne college, and - wiu* given an opportunity to see what.

At first the police lines were pushed back and the space in front of the stand was filled so that the carriages of the guests could not be i moved. The ' mounted police came to the assistance of the of ficers on foot, and for ten minutes the crowd was pushed back inch by inch until the center of the avenue was clear. The carriages were in front of the royal box, and the party entered, and, with the mounted police for an escort, made their way back to the Savoy. The princess dined at the hotel, and in the evening went 'to the Broadway theater. HONORS FOR IRELAND. Rumors That Leo Will Soon Ex- press His Esteem for the Archbishop. Mgr.

Satolli leaves Chicago there will be a semi official announcement that the pope has been pleased to express in a special and marked way his esteem for his grace Archbishop Ireland, of St. Paul. Apro pos of the relations between the papal see and Archbishop Ireland, it is con sidered significant that there should be published in Chicago on the day of Mer., Satolli's arrival here a dispatch from Rome intimating that Archbishop Ire land had fallen into disfavor with the pope, and that a secret letter of admon ition would be sent from the Vatican.; Referring to this story. - Archbishop Satolli, through his secretary, said: ...- .-*, "1 do not believe the statements in the dispatch, lt is very * cleverly writ ten, but the intent to deceive is evident to any one acquainted with the facts.: it is meant to deceive people, and may deceive some even in Rome. The au thorities of the church do not make public their decisions or their intentions iv this way.

The commission ers, as called, were to give the reasons for their votes, speeches to be limited to three minutes. While this prelim inary was being settled.

There were cries of "No," how ever, and the clerk proceeded to read the fifth ground of appeal. 1 The fifth and last ground of appeal contained: "Specifications of errors," and it charged "mistake or Injustice In the decision." ". The specifications charged error in. the failure to convict tho defendant on competent charges', the facts being admitted by the defendant; that the judgment was not warranted by : the law and evidence ; that the judgment is in fact an approval of the views em bodied in the inaugural address; that the judgment is vague, unjust and mis leading; that the presbytery was moved by unsworn and improper testimony; that the judgment 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. Rev. W.

Before beginning the roll call the moderator announced that the form of answer would be "Sustained" or "Not sus tained." and that commissioners 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 ID their anxiety to catch every response. The vote was announced at 10:15 by the stated clerk as follows: Whole num ber of votes cast, .90; to sustain the ap peal, 298; to sustain In part, 85; total to sustain the appeal, 383; not to sustain, 116. After the result had been announced. Rev. .1. T. Smith, ef Baltimore, moved the appointment of a committee of ' fifteen commissioners, of which Key. Thomas A. Hoyt, D. D., of Philadelphia, shall be chairman, to bring in an ex planatory minute. This was carried, and on motion of President Warfield, of Lafayette college the moderator was authorized to appoint the committee. Ho will announce the committee tomor row. - The assembly then adjourned at 10:25 until tomorrow morning at '.i o'clock to reconvene as a court at 9:30. The explanatory minute to be pre pared by. the committee to be named to morrow will express the sense of -tho assembly as to the action that should be taken upon the judgment of the Pres bytery of New York— whether it shall be reversed or modified— and what pen alty shall be imposed against Dr. Brings, if any. The report of the committee will doubtless provoke some discussion, and, with the less important matters on the docket for consideration, promises a continuation, of the assenbly's sessions until Friday night. - To Meet N* ext in Oregon.
