IT IS ALL TALK.
The Cabinet Again in
Consultation.
IT SEARCHES FOR FLAWS.
And the Farce of a Law That Is
Never Enforced Stiil Holds
the Boards.
Special to The Moksixo Call.
Washington, May 2C— Colpnel Rm>ve.
solicitor of' the treasury, said to-day:
"There will be some trouble over thu fact
that the Chinese registration act does not
expressly stale wo la lo have charge of
the deportation if tlie Chinese. Section
H of the act does nnt cover it, but this
qii stion is not a new i ne. Imiuißratioi
i !li ers h:ive -everat times had to contend
with this embarrassment."
The Cabinet had the Chinese question
under consideration incidentally to-day.
Tne exclusion laws and registratii n act
were discussed, as well as the duties here
tofore performed by the soveral depart
ment officers In executing the laws aud
the means to b« adopted in the future.
The question as to whether the arrest and
imprisonment is merely a summ iry pro
ceeding or a punishment for crime was
also discussed, but no decided opin
ions were advancbd. On tins point will
rest the decision as to whether the Chi
nese are to have jury trials as guaranteed
by the constitution tor those charged with
criminal offenses.
Tne State Department officials say that
tliey have received no advices to the effect
that the new Chinese .Minister to this
country will delny his departure for the
United States until his Government re
ceives some reply from the State Derart
ment regarding the exclusion law, although
n statement to this effect was cabled to the
American newspapers.
The New' York Sun has printed a long
Washington dispatch declaring that there
\v uldbea midsummer session of Congress,
to meet not later than Aucusi l, principally
to secure the repeal of the Sherman act,
and incidentally, it ia presumed, to eithei
appropriate money for the deportation of
the Chinese nr to give the Six Companies
an opportunity to work for the repeal or
modification of the Geary law, if they are
powerful enough to accomplish either
object.
Representative McMlllln. who will be
tlic leader of the next House, would cer
tainly know if the I'rcsident had such an
in ten i 100, but be said to The ("all cor
respondent to-day that he thought there
would be no extra session until the middle
of September.
BeDorta received nt the Treasury Depart
ment indicate a i.ir^-r registration of Chi
nesa than at first anticipated. So far, re
borts from : forty-nine out nf slxiy-'.h'ree
internal revenue (]is;riets of the United
States show that 11,278 Cliineße have
registered. The latest returns from the
Pacific States are us follows: * First Cali

2528; Oregon, 1015.
Macon, Ga., May 2(s.— The General As
sembly of the Southern Presbyteiian
Cburcb this morning tabled a resolution
providing for a petition to the Congress of
the United States to annul the Chinese
exclusion act.
CHOATE HAD AN OBJECT.
He Wanted a Precedent to Head Off
Western Judges.
New York, May 26.— The Tribune will
say In the morning: At tl.e request of
Maxwell Evarts, who was associaicd with
Joseph H. Choate as counsel for the Six
Companies, Judge Lacombe bat written
an opinion in the case of Ng Look, the
Chinaman who was arrested several days
ago.
The Judge ordered that he he deported
as soon as provieiou was made forcarryir.tr
out the Geary law, but set nini at liberty
in the mean time. Choate caused the
arrest of the man for an important reason,
lie felt that a Jndffe In tiiis city would
ri"t order that a Chinamen be kept undpr
arrest pending the arranging to pu' ihe
Geary law into effect, butu Western Judge
might.
Copies of Judge Lacombe's opinion have
been sent to tae Attorney-General at
Washington ana will reachjevery United
States Judge before long. This decision
will furnish a precedent which other
Judges will not be likely to set aside.
SPEAKING OF SILVER.
Why No More Dollars Will Be
Coined at Carson.
"Washington; May 26. — Tnn order su<
pendinu Ihe coinage of silver dollars at
the United Slates mint at Carson City
after the Ist of July has caused a number
of inquiries to be mad' as to the, policy In
tended by this stoppage. Th« ; reason
given for the suspension is that these
coins are not needed, there being no de
mand for the redemption of treasury note 9
in silver dollars. It is considered useless,
therefore, to keep on piling up coins for
•vhteh there is no demand or use. The
expense of coinage is very heavy, and by
this suspension a great saving can be
eff-'Cted nt the various mints.
No silver dollars are being coined at
S3n Francisco or New Orleans and but
very few at Philadelphia. In fact, the
only coinage now b.-int: execut«d is that
of fractional silver at Philadelphia, .San
Francisco and New Orleans, and tlii-. is
made out of worn fractional silver ■•ni:,s
taken out of circulation, and thn differ
ence in weight is made up from Riivi-r 1 ur
chased under thr special appropriation
made by Congress for that purpose.

that $3,000,000 In sold is engaged at the

INTO MORMON HANDS.
President Cleveland Gives Utah
to the Saints,
Or at Least That Seems to Be What
He Is Preparing to Do
at Present.
Special to The Mors-is-s Tali.
1
Washington, May 26— President Cleve
land is considering tne advisability
iof . cbaneine the personnel of the
Utah Commission. Originally the Com
missioners drew SMtOO a year apiece,
but the people of Utah crew dis
satisfied witli them, and for some
i years a fi^ht has been on. It resulted last
i wint»r in a reduction of the salaries to
S2OOO a year and a provision th-.t In future
all Commissioners named should enme
Iron) the Territory. President Cleveland
: has the alternative of removing one of
the Kepubiicans and appointing a Demo
crat in > his stead, who would, of course,
come from the Territory, thus changinc
tlio political complexion of the board, or
he can yield to the incessant demands of
Utah Democracy and wake a clean sweep,
»elpntlnjc five residents of Utah to fill The
7anant places.
Dwellers in the. Territory assert that the
present commission has proven utterly In
competent, devoting not more than sixty
days in the year to its duties, and retain
ing upon its polling lists the names of
men lung dead, others who have moved
<>ut of the Territory, and still others who
wen. uever legal voters. These assertions
fr'ends of the Commissioners deny.
Tna immediate revision <>f the commis
sion is Smportanr, as an overhauling of the
registration books has been ordered for
June 1 and Utah Democrats want Uia .
men named to do the work. It is consid
ered unlikely that the President will yield
to tiie Territorial demand and call for the
resisnation of every member of the com
mission. The removal nf one ]l»i üblican
i*, however, regarded as a certainly, ami
the man generally slated for the place is
.Tolm T. Caiue, ex-Delogate to Congress, a
Democrat.

SAX FRANCISCO, SATURDAY MORNING, MAY 27, 1893-TEN PAGES.
BRIQQS A LOSER.
Waging a Bitter War of
Words.
WRATH OF THE GODLY MEN.
Learned Leaders in Presbyterianism
Seemed to Forget That They
Constituted a Court.
Special to The Morning Call.
Wasiiixgtox, May 2(5.— 8y a vote of 409
to 145 the Presbyterian General Assembly
this afternoon decided to entertain the ap
peal in the case of Dr. Brings, and will pro
need with the trial to-morrow morning.
The rullcall on the resolution was taken
amidst almost painful silence, during
which the defendant watched with fever
ish anxiety the prepress of the rote. All
over th.' house and In the calleries the vote
was followed intently. While the roll was
being called Moderator Craig yielded the
chair tn ex-Moderator William C. Huberts,
D.D.. and himself voted "aye."
Throughout the long debate of the rnorn
fna there were many evidences of feeliua
and several of the speakers took advantage
nf the opportunity to arraign the defend
ant, shake Cnpetsstetnly at him and other
wise express their condemnation.
As one brother expressed it, "They for
got, for the time being, thnt (hey were
members of the court of Ji*su3 Christ."' It
whs an interes'.ine spectacle and a. sceue
never to he forcntten.
When the Brings case came UP, at their
own request Rev. Dr. Nlocoll* of Si. Louis
: . ri el E'der Penliing were retired from the
judicial committee in the case, and Rev.
W. R. Reynolds of Minnesota and Elder
Law of California were appointed iv their
places. Rev. Mr. Iloyt was ndded lo the
committee to vUit President Cleveland in
the matter of the traffic in firearms lo the
Western Pacific.
The main question, "Shall the appeal by
the New York Presbytery to tiie General
Assembly be direct, instead of first gning
tn the synod, be entertained?" was then
'.;. ken up.
])r. Kelchum of New Jersey favored
sending the case bnck to tfte synod, and
said at the end of the dehate he would
make a motion to that effect.
Eider MeDongatl of Cincinnati stated
that by an arrangement with the chairman
of the judiciary committee, be was
charged with the duty of opening iv sup
port of the motion to eutertain the appeal
and took the platform.
Elder McDouj»all referred to certain re
in.irks which Briggs had made in his own
defense, and said he had offered, if the
case was s?nt back to the synod, to waive
his constitutional rights.
".No," said UriRUS". intnrruDtlne.
"Ah, 1 'thought so!" said JUcDourall.
"Tou will get t!ie case back to the'synod
nnd then you will insist upon all of the
constitutional riehts that you can think nf."
Tim elder continued in a bitter strain,
and now and then a murmur of surprise
swept over the assembly.
Brigg- asked for a moment to reply to
McD»ugall. and midst cries of "No! no!"
and I- Henr him!" Brlggs was given one
minute, aud explained that he had not
offered to waive any constitutional rights,
but. said that he would leave the settlement
of those rights to the decision of the synod.
Dr. Fulton of Philadelphia was person
ally BUM thai although the assembly might
have a majority in favor of trying the
case here public opinion was overwhelm
ingly against such a course.
Dr. llays of Danville, Ky., made a strong
argument in favor of the present consid
eration of the case, and Dr. iienrich John
son of Chicago said the only interpretation
of the rules of the church was to send the
matter hnck to tie New l"ork Synod.
Dr. AlcGaw of Toledo said the question
was what course should be taken to secure
peace at the earliest possible moment; that
course was surely to send the case to the
synod. E der Thomas Kane of Chicago
favored sending the case to the synod, but
Elder Ilinckley of Philadelphia discussed
the views held by Dr. Briges and de
nounced them. Rev. Thomas C. Hall of
Chicaeo nnide an earnest appeal in behalf
of Dr. Brings.
Elder Ciucheon of Detroit was the first
speaker of the afternoon. He was one of
Processor Brings' warm supporters, and
insisted that the case should beconsidered
on the single* question of appeal. The
venerable Dr. Duffield of Princeton Col
lege said he had a great personal apprecia
tion of tho scholarship and Christian char
acter of Dr. Bricgs. If his logical facul
ties were equal to his scholarship Dnflield
did not know his equal, in the intellectual
world of America at least.
When Dr. Duffiehl had finished the most
so'isalional scene of the day and of the
assembly ensued. In the course of tbfl
venerable do. tor's remarks his statement
of Professor Briggs' teachings was ques
tioned by several commissioners, and the
professor himself gave utterance to ai!
expression wb.ch could not be understood
by the reporters. But as Dr. Dufiield
stepped down he came almost into direct
contnct with Professor Brings, who with
flashing eyes had sprung to his feet, de
manding to be heard.
A slorm of dissent and cries of "order"
immediately nroKe over the assembly, and
a fccene of great excitement and disorder
ensued, until fiually Dr. Briggs took hi
seat and the storm subiideii. Then a pas
sionate addres? against tiie pica of Dr.
Brings was made by William C. Young,
D.D., of Danville, Ey., moderator of tbe
last assembly, and after sinie further ar
gument Hie debate was declared closed.
Judge Purnell of Baltimore then offered
his motion to remand the case tn the New
York Synod. This was defeated by a viva
voee vote and ■gain by a rising vote.
The question now recurrine on the reso
lution of the judicial corainittei; that the
appeal be entertained, the ayes r.nd noes
were demanded, and the rollcall began.
The result of tlie vote was announced as
follows: Ayes 409, noes 145.
The judicial committee was instructed to
prepare a programmo for procedure in the
trial of the appeal, and toe assembly de
cided to proceed with the trial 10-morrow
morning.
At the night session the first order of
business was the report of the committee
of the board nf church erection. Among
the recummei dati.ins was one to' the effect
that not less than 5150.C00 was 'necessary
for the work o'. the board during this fiscal
year., 'Af ter some - remarks;'theXrecoui
meuuatiousof the coin uiltteo wero adopted.
The report of the committee on publica
tion and Sunday-school work was then
read and adopted, and the assembly ad
journed till to-morrow.

That Is a Sure Thing
Anyway.
MILCHRIST TO SHOW FIGHT.
But He Is in No Hurry, and the
Directors Prepare to Coin
Money.
Special to The Morning Call.
Chicago, May 26.— Thjp World's Fair
will be open ou Sunday. The officials in
charge are making extensive prepara
tions to receive the immense crowd?, and
if the weather is pleasant they estimate
ihat the attendance will be great.
After hearing arguments all of to-day
in the Clingman ease \ to prevent, the di
rectors closing the gates on Sunday, Judge
Stein of the Su; erior Court took the mat
icr una>r advisement uniil Monday. Hie
Federal District Attorney announced to
night that his bi.l lor an injunction to
kecD the gates closed would be filed to
morrow, but he does nut anticipate that
any action can he taken before next week,
as a temporary restraining order will not
be asked f<>r pending arguments. Thn suit
will he heard before Circuit Judces Wood
iind Jenkins and District Judze Crosscup,
and it is ljkely that Chief Justice Fuller
ot the United States Supreme Cuutt wlil
occupy a sent on the bench.
June bids fair to bo a prosperous month
for the exposition, and from the number of
societies and organizations that have an
nounced in advance their intention of vis
iting the fair during that month it is
estimated the daily attendance will be
euormously increased. There are to be a
number of special days selected for some
particular observance by the different
nationalities and societies, and each of
those will urine crowds.
A pleasant international incident to-day
was the inauguration of Mrs. Ernest
Harts' "Donegal village."
Among those who took part in the exer
cises were President Uijjinbotham of the
World's Fair Directory, Attorney-General
Moloney of Illinois, John Flnerty, Post
master Sexton and anumbßrof represent
atives of the Catholic church. Areh
bishcD F.-ehan was unavidably aosent. but
sent tlie Chancellor of the diocese, Father
Muldoon. Speeches were made and a mu
sical programme rendered.
The New York room in the Woman's
building was also thrown open. It is beau
tifully furnished and decorated, and nas a
library of 5000 volumes. Everything in
it is the handiwork ol women. An inci
dent to the opening was the unveiling ol a
innrblo portrait bust of Harriet Ueecher
S'owe.
The French section of t lie Woman's
building was also ouened. It is very beau
tiful and attractive in every way, repre
senting a modern French salon. Tlie fur
nishings are the finest, most costly and ar
tistic obtainable In Paris.
The National World's Fair Commission.
ntU'T a short sharp debate, and without
transacting any other business to-day ad
journed until July 1. Whether or not the
threatened Sunday-closing litigation had
anything to do with this nctiou did not ap
pear on the surface. It was claimed by
those in favi>r of adjournment that it was
next to impossible to get a quorum for the
transaction of business, therefore a con
tinuance of the sessions was an unneces
sary expense.
TAKING BOTH SIDES.
Rather Odd Views Expressed by a
Leading New York Editor.
Chicago, May 26.— Two new branches
of the World's Press Congress opened this
afternoon and this evening. These were
the trade press and the religious press.
In the general congress Ejlitor-in-Chief
John A. Sleicher of the New York Mail
and Express discussed the question of
whether the daily press colors its news too
highly. The speaker held that as a general
rule news was not too highly colored. He
made the novel suggestion newspapers
should print both Republican and Demo
cratic editorials, each having a Republican
and Democratic editor woo should write
from principle.
Papers were n ad by ex-G^rernor Hoard
ot Wisconsin and John B» Stoll of In
diana.
Iv the trade press section J. Fred Wag
goner, Goorge \V. HitehKiss, David 11.
Mason, W. C. Edg«r of Minnesota and
Daniel Williams of Xew York were es
sayists. As a result of this meeting it was
decided to form a national association of
trade paper publishers, and a committee
was appointed to arrange, a plan and issue
Invitations for a national meeting to be
held here some lime in September.
The. press women listened to papers by
Margaret bangstor, Kate. Field, Katntrioe
Couwmv, Annie L. Dice*, Florence Feu
wick Miller ami Mrs. E. P. Tertian*.
The prayer oDenine ihe prnceeilings of
the religious press section wns delivered
by Rev. £. P. Goodwin of Chicago, and
addresses were heard from Ur. Simeon
Gilbeit of Chicago, Mine. Bogelot of Paris,
Kt>v. Dr. Spears or London, Pmbbi Wise of
Cincinnati, Mrs. Ballington Booth and
other celebrities.
At the closing nssion of the Newspaper
Publishers' Association this evening, reso
lutions were adopted thanking the local
committee for Its entertainment, express
ing admiration for the work of Chicago
in behalf of the World's Fr.ii, and declar
ing that the Columbian Exposition sur
passes all promise and exceeds all expecta
tion, and is a lasting credit, not only to
Chicago, but to the United States.
The Publishers' Association wound up
itsi ppssion to-nicnt with a banquet at

AHEAD OF THE OTHERS.
California Commissioners Do Not
Greatly Reiish Criticism.
Chicago, May 26.— Tlip California
building had a distinguished visitor to
day in the person of James S. Ciarkson of
lowa, one of the big R«pubiiean suds. He
spent a considerable time in admiring the
live fruits anil said be had always had a
dpsire to reside iv California and hoped
some time to be able to cratify that ambi
tion. He was perfectly delighted with the
display the State is making.
The great relief map of the State beine
made by Willard B. Johnson Is highly
praised by men of undoubted authority in
such matters as the finest and most ex
tensive map of the character ever made.
Af-ter the fair the map will go to the
University of Chieaeo, and negotiations
are pending for a similar map fiom the
same molds for the Smithsonian Insti
tution and one for the Stanford University.
Johnson has lost a great deal of money,
as he took the contract much too low, and
the commissioners say that if they have
any surplus funds at the close of the fair
they will certainly donate something to
him. They consider the map a fine ad
vertisement. It Is now being colored and
lettered, and will be completed about the
first ot the month.
The open fair on Sundays has caused
some worry to the commissioners, as they
do not know exactly what to do. They
have decided, however, as the exhibit in
the building is not in complete stiupe, that
they will have no attendants present on
Sunday, and that, while the building will
not be opened, the guards will have in
structions not to deny any one admittance
who desires to see the display in its un
finished condition. It is very probable
that if the fair is kept open on Sunday the
State building will be kept open also, but
that will depend largely on what the com
missioners from other States do.
The commissioners are very much in
censed at the criticisms which are being
made by the pres^ at henie, and by Cali
fornians who visit the fair, on the state of
the display. While they admit that it is
impossible to show all theresources of the
Slate in this small display so. far from
home, they have so far exceeded other
States that they receive encomiums from
citizens of the entire Eastern country, and
that, they say, is what they are here for.

Herbert Hears About the
Monterey.
NOTHING SERIOUSLY WRONG
The Ship's Boilers Are Sound and
She Will Strike for Deep
Water To- Day.
Special to The Hornino Call.
WASHINGTON, May 20 — Secretary Her
lert has given his approval lo trie finding
and rpcominemlnMnns made by Captain
Matthews as a result of his inspection of
the Mare Island (California) nnvy-yard.
The Secretary is much gratified at the
nature of tlie report, as it enables him to
carry out a plan which he lias cherished
as in tne line of economy and as calcula
ted to build up important naval interests
on tho Pacific Coa9t. Captain Matthews
f.<und the plant and equipment of the
yard of the. first quality and capable of do-
Ing repair work i>l a high order, while the
labor is thoroughly skilled.
A careful calculation shows that the cost
of the work there will compare very favor
ably with that done In the East, when due
allowance is made for distance, and cou
sequently Secretary Herbert announces
that hereafter lie will rmlpr all repair
work not only for the Pacific station, but
also for vessflls of the Asiatic station to be
dune ut Mare Island navy-yard. Hereto
fore it has been the practice of the depart
ment to order vessels of t tic Asiatic squad
ron to proceed to the Atlantic Coast for
repairs, but the report of Captain Mat.
thews shows that the work can really ba
more economically done at Mnre Island,
when the cost of transportation is taken
into account.
Captain Matthews, also by direction of
the Secretary, closely inspected the coast
defense vessel Monterey in view of the
reports that her boilers were ruined on
her trial trip. He found that there was no
b:isis lor the reports, as the vessel is in
excellent condition. There are some
small leaks in the tubo connections, hut
these are insignificant and nothing more
than are incident to boilers of all types
which have been severely tested.
Vali.ejo. May 26. — The Monterey will
proceed on her final and oflieial trial to
morrow, leaving the navy-yard at noon,
Captain L. Kempff in command, with a
board of naval inspectors on board.
To-day the crew wa9 occupied in taking
on board supplies and stores for eiehc
days, although she, is not expec:ed to be
absent longer than five days. The board
oi naval inspectors were assiened quarters
oa board this aftrrnonu, and immediately
commenced to inspect and give orders for
the final trip. It has been definitely de
cided that the Monterey trinl will take
place on the course fronj Pigeon l'oint to
Point Sur and the Santa Barbara channel.
The trial of the armament will be con
ducted with precaution, as it is feared
that haste in test Ids ti:e big Runs will re
sult fatally to the turret. Six s'je.ep have
been purchased and placed on board to as
certain the. results of Hie concussion cau>ed
by the, discharge of the bin euns. Service,
charges will be used <if 260 pounds powder
and 750-pound projectiles. Tiieguns W ill ba
fired by electricity to avoid possible acci
dent to any of the crew. It is held iv
doubt whether the supports oi the car
riages will sustain the shock and recoil of
the guns.
The naval board of inspectors is Captain
H. L. Howison, Chief Engineer Burnap,
Lieutenant-CouiniMnder Gilmore, L;euten
antßernotte and Naval Constructor Tay
lor, and from the Union Irou Works Chief
Engineer R. Forsyth and assistant, who
represent the builders.
