N , D. C. . , May 20.-Tho great-
't ' ecclesiastical trial of modern times , as It
f.'termed , was begun today in the New York
Venue Presbyterian church , when Dr.
t-lpgs , the Union seminary professor , faced
f' * accusers and his WO Judges. The gen-
. .1 assembly of the Presbyterian church In
To United States of America , sat as a high
Jurt. The court represented nearly 1,000-
fi ) Presbyterians in this country , who rccog-
I'zo the supreme authority of the general as-
Ifmbly in ecclesiastical matters.
Ti'ho Issue Is ono which a largo portion of
[ o church and a largo majority of the gen-
ill assembly evidently regarded as ono of
gravest that has over risen In the
lurch. To their minds the most serious
Wpqucnccs will cnsuo If the church docs
lot , through Us highest authority , pro-
t ounce nn anathema against Dr. Brlgps , who
| .i accused of denying i the inerrancy of
i ely scripture nnd teaching as true doctrine *
) rhlch they consider contradictory of scrip-
[ jiro nt'd of the confession of faith to which
tic subscribed when ho was ordained as inln-
ntcr. There was a largo attendance at the
fhurch. The proceedings , however , were
lot at all lively , for the arguments made
j'cre exceedingly formal in character.
I'The principal argument for tlio prosecu
tion was made by Hov. Joseph II. Lampc ,
h.D. , who finished In the afternoon , having
I pokcn thrco hours and a quarter.
I. Prof. Driggs then began his answer to
I'hlcu sovcn hours had been allotted nnd
/mllnucd / it at the evening session. Ho will
ontiUd tomorrow , nnd then Colonel Mo-
flock will close for the prosecution ,
[ It , is scarcely probable that a vote on the
lusstion of sustaining the appeal will be
lijhed before Wednesday.

! ( Johnson , chairman of the committee on
Id's fair exhibit , stated that If the ex-
'ii ' { > ft was to bo removed from the grounds
U1 ( ' , d lot ted by the vote of the assembly the
jfcnslttce must bo backed by the financial
| t" finsibillty of the bofly. To remove the
Intblt and return subscriptions to the lunds
Pv-i uld require $2r > 00 , or $1,000 moro than Is
J < M7 on hand. It was decided to refer the
Ti'M".r to the committee on finances with
jji-iver to act.
J''J'iicn Colonel McCook of the prosecuting
la t/imlttco arose nnd proceeded to notify the
Fi'jrt ! ; and appellee of the citations und
IV i erences which the prosecution expected
f t < use in presenting its caso.
Dr. I.-.unpo'H Argument.
Ho was followed hy Dr. Lampo , who made
_ 'lio opening argument. Ho proceeded by
' saying that appellants appeal assigned five
grounds in the appeal , namely , irregularity
> in the proceedings of the Now York presby
tery , receiving improper and declining Im
portant testimony , manifestation of pre
judice and mistake or Injustice in the
decision. Ho proceeded to discuss , the first
ground from a purely legal standpoint. .
Dr. Lampo reviewed the other grounds of
appeal and continuing said : Dr. Br'lgps not
only bcliovcs the doctrines ho preaches , but
ho has propagated them ; has disclaimed
i nothing and has reaffirmed the doctrines ho
[ avowed in his inaugural address. Ilo oven
LprCachcd that the redemption of the soul
lojctcnds into the next world. Dr. Briggs
Iliad taken the matter into his hands and
claimed the right under his constitution to
preach anything ana everything- .
Dr. Lainix ! said Dr. Briggs' teaching con
flicted with both scripture and standards ,
and quoted passages from Dr. Briggs' writ
ings to sustain his ( Lampo's ) assertion.
Dr. Lampo affirmed the inerrancy of the
alble , saying : "Ills impossible for God to
lie. The word of God is truth from the be
ginning. To sum up , the teachings of Dr.
Briggs constitute an offense against the
book of discipline. If they are to bo ac
ted , wo shall have to relinquish our bo-
that the bible Is the word of God , but
hcllevo Instead that it simply contains the
Irord of God. "
i Heccss.
At the afternoon session Dr. Lampo took
Jp the charge that Dr. Briggs taught that
( recesses of redemption extended to the
I'orld to come in Uio cases of many who
lied in sin , and asserted that this doctrine
R/as an offense , according to the book of
'
'discipline , for tlio following thrco reasons :
ll'lrsl , Tlio doctrine is contrary to the bible
I'ld the btumlards.
I Second , It IK buparatcd from tlio Itoman
rilhollc dotitrlno of purgatory by M > frail a
lirrlor that It will easily pass Into It.
ITblrd , It will lead tu graver departures
loin the fiillb.
J III conclusion. Dr. Lampo appealed to the
Ijscmbly to reject the verdict of acquittal
Iy the Now York synod and to set the church
Tght before the world.
J , Dr. llrlfRs' Defense.
I Dr. Brigsrs then began his defense. Ho
laid that ho had been accused of teaching
( hat many of the Old Testament predictions
lad boon reversed by history and the great
jody of "Messianic prediction had not been
'ulfillod , " which wascontrary to the essence
> f the holy scriptures and of the standards
) f the church , This ho had repudiated nnd
would ask the assembly to hoar exactly what
no had said. Ho had said this : "Kucnan
had shown that If wo Insist upon the fill-
illlmcnt of the details of the prophecy
if the Old Testament , many of the predic
tions had been reversed by history , and the
great body of the Messlalu : prediction had
not only never been fulfilled , but cannot now
bo fulfilled for the reason that its own time
lias passed forovcr , " All depended on the
word "if , " which the committee had omitted.
Ilo hud disclaimed this charge before , and
Disclaimed It now. Ho. also disclaimed that
ho was guilty of teaching , ns charged in
.ihargo No. 7 , that the process of redemption
extended to the world to coma In the case of
many who died in sin , stating that ho
had repudiated the Roman Catholic doctrine
of purgatory , also the doctrine of future pro
bation and regeneration after death , or any
beginning of Christian life after death.
Dr. Brings made a legal argument against
the consideration of thcso rejected charges
by the general assembly until after they hud
been tried by the New York presbytery.
The assembly then took a recess until 7:45 :
| . m ,
At the evening session Dr. Brings de
fended ttio notion of the presbytery nt great
length and then passed to a discussion of the
logic of the case. Dr. Hriggs said that it was
alleged that the New Yorit presbytery made
u mistake hi login. The appellants' logic was
nt fault where it always appeared false to
to logic- the promises. The premise' that
the defendant admitted the fact , for In
stance , was falso. The law required the
Bpccittratlons to sot forth the facts , and the
appellants- skillful Jumpers- held that because -
cause he admitted the extracts cited ho ad
mitted the facts.
The defendant had admitted that he
taught that errors may have existed in the
original text of the scriptures ; that Moses
was not the author of the Pentateuch ; that
Jsulah did not write more than half his book ;
that canctlllcatlon is not complete at
death. Ho had not admitted the other
things , Ho had. ho said , admitted
what ought to have been given us the minor
premises of four of the charges. Did the
major premises justify the charge of heresy
to the Westminster standardsl The chief
argument of the defense had been to show
thit these major promises were In
valid j the presbytery bad listened ; the
prosecution had not objected. The
Ipgfc of ( be prosecution was leap-logic , Tlio
defendant held to an essential nnd had
always taught four of the seven doctrines
charged bv the prosecution to have been at
tacked. Ho admitted the truth of , nnd ac
cepted two of them , but did not regard them
as essential.
lloctrlno of Snnctlflcntlon.
As to the doctrine touching sanetlflcatlon ,
ho denied that the phrase "at once , " which
prosecution had arbitrarily inserted
in the Westminister definition , when
it was heir own Interpretation of it
was essential. The prosecution has
produced no proof that his own interpre
tation was wrong and their own was right.
The aim of the Inaugural address was to
sot forth the Dlvlno authority of the holy
scriptures. Ho claimed that reason was
n great fountain of Divlno authority ,
but not of faith and practice. Ho hold
that there were errors of holy scripture In
matters that did not in any way impair its
infallibility In matters of faith nnd practice.
At this point the hour of 10 o'clock being
reached , the assembly adjourned until 9:30 :
tomorrow morning , Dr. Bripgs having
spoken for nearly three hours today.

gratifying. The eastern delegates could
not hulp hut quietly snillo at the
manifest attempt of each speaker

were fairly horrified when Hev. D. D. Proper

too many people In his part of the country
as that they were ' 'too much married"
and when consternation waf so marked on
the faces of his auditors ho added : "I mean
cxcctly what I say. and the middle west and
the far cast are responsible for it. " Ho did
did not tro Into further detail. "Wo arc very
wicked but west ; wo are terribly wicked out
west : we arc awfully wicked out west ; wo
are gigantically wicked out west" were the
remarks of Hov. C. li. Allen of Montana , but
ho were off some of the rough edges before
his time expired and brought cheering news
from the mission Held m his state.

There is a sensational story afloat that
Mr. Cleveland and his wife are about to
withdraw from the Presbyterian church
hero , which Is presided over by Hov. Mr.
Sundcrland. ' Just how much truth there is
In this report of course no ono knows except
the very close friends of the president and
his wife. According to this story Hov. Mr.
Smith , n Prcsbytcrlon , has been the guest
JE Mr. Cleveland over slnco the Presbyterian
general assembly met hero Sunday a week
ago. Mr. Smith preached at Sundcrland's '
church , which Is the church the president
and his wife attend. It will bo remembered
that t Dr. Sundcrland officiated at the wed
ding of Mr. Cleveland. The tendency of Dr.
Smith's remarks Sunday before last was
that the best thing preachers could do
wonld.be to go out and convert sinners in
stead of spending their time In quarrclljig
over differences of opinion as to doctrino. In
fact , he advocated peace.
Just as he finished Dr. Sundcrland
jumped up and took issue with Smith. He
thought the minister was half "way defend
ing Dr. Briggs , who is uppermost in the
minds of tha Presbyterians. Ho said ho
wculd not bo in the shoes of Mr. Briggs for
all the world. Dr. Smith had not mentioned
the name of Briggs and everybody was
very much surprised at the conduct of the
old minister.
Now comes the story that Mr. Cleveland
and his wife are affronted at the way their
gueat was treated and will not attend Sun-
dei-land's church any moro. To this is added
the further statement that Mr. Cleveland
believes and is a friend of Briggs in his
present fight and religious position.
No I'ny for federal Jurors.
The appropriation for the payment of
Jurors nnd witnesses in attendance upon
United States courts is practically ex
hausted , there being only $1,000 of it left.
The total appropriation was $1,773,000 for the
fiscal year ending JunoiiU ) next. The ques
tion whether the courts will bo kept open or
not will bo lefl to the judges. It is expected
that in cases where the attendance of Jurors
and witnesses would work especially to their
disadvantages , that the courts will close. In
cases where the pending business is very ur
gent the probability is that the courts will
continue to sit , making the judges and wit
nesses wait for their pay until congress can
pass a deficiency bill to provide for it. On
July 1 there will bo plenty of money to oper
ate the courts.

WASHINGTON' , D , C , , May 2'J. Since Janu
ary 1 , $00,000,000 In gold has been exported to
Europe and the export movement Instead of
having abated seems to have received n
fresh Impetus , Most of this gold was taken
from the United States treasury , and prac
tically all that is now being exported comes
from the same source. In Unit tlmo the
treasury department has sustained a net loss

ficient , it js said , to reduce the

heavy shipments , the treasury officials expect
the greatest confidence in the ability of the
treasury to restore the gold balance. They
point to the faot there is a gradual and
healthy Inflow of gold from natural causes
to the treasury , which is only temporarily
checked by the largo amounts taken for ox-
port. A cessation of gold exports in largo
amounts Is looked for by July 1 , us U is un
derstood that the Australian demand Is well
nigh supplied ,
A peculiar and encouraging feature of the
decrease of gold is that a corresponding In
crease Is shown In the not treasury balance.

Comptroller Kckcls Orders the doting of
TITO North Hnkotn llnnltn.
WASHINGTON , D. C. , May 29. The National
bank of North.Dakota at Fargo , N. D , , and
the First National bank of Lakota , at La-
kola , N. D , , were closed today on orders
issued by Mr. Kckcls , comptroller of cur
rency. Both of these banks were organized
by E. Ashley Mcars , who was also the organ
izer i of other i.ationul banks nnd of many
state banks and other institutions.
His plan , says the comptroller , appears to
have 1 been to make loans to the various in
stitutions subscribing to the stock of the
two national banks In amounts which. In
some cases , exceeded the amount of stock
subscribed j to by thorn ,
The management of the Fargo bank was
ostensibly conducted by a board of five
directors , consisting most of the tlmo of 12.
Ashley Mcars , Mrs. M , B. Moars , Mrs. D. C.
Moars and Miss Ii. D. Mcars , respectively
the wife , the mother and the sister of the
president , and ono other director , who was
not a member of the Mcars family. This
bank owes the treasurer of the United
States about $14,000 for money expended by
the treasurer In the redemption ol the cir
culating notes of the bank coming into the
treasury for redemption and which that
bank has failed to reimburse the treasurer
for. The comptroller says ho ordered Ex
aminers Brush and Diamond to close these
banks because of the repeated violations of
the law on the part of the management and
the refusal to pay assessments , thereby pro
ducing a condition rendering them insolvent
and dangerous as banks of deposit.

Leon appears to bo to stronghold of Socosa ,
although the inhabitants are opposed to tlio

It is reported In Corinto that 800 Hondura-

FEDERAL GRAND JURY MILL
True Bill Likely to Bo Returned Against
Oashier Frank M. Dorsoy.
EMBEZZLEMENT AND FALSIFYING RECORDS
Parlous Position of the 1'oncn Ilnnlt Canlilcr
lix-Ci > iiirosiinrui ! Dornny Untnlntrd Col
ored Killtor Will tie Indicted for
Printing Indecent Mutter.
When the federal grand Jury gets ready to
hand in another batch of Indictments , which
will probably bo tomorrow , It Is very likely
that there will bo a number of surprises for
people of both high and low degree. For
several days It has boon whispered about
the office of the United States attorney , and
the grand jury room adjoining , that there
was big game In sight , and those who claim
to know are authority for the statement
that trim bills will bo found against Mr.
Frank M. Dorsoy , cashier of the defunct
First National bank of Ponca , and Mr. Kzra
D. Hlggins , assistant cashier of the aamo in
stitution.
It will be remembered that the failure of
'ho ' Flist National bank of Ponca followed
.nu-cl upon the heels of the sensational
Stonx City failures and became ono of the
series of financial collapses that startled the
financial circles of Nebraska and neighbor
ing states. The failure of the Poncn bank
attracted widespread attentionprincipally
on account of the fact that ex-Congressman
Ooorgo W. K. Dorscy was its president. Being -
ing a man of national reputation nnd sup
posed to bo wealthy , the collapse of this In
stitution sailing with his name at the mast
head naturally caused a sensation.
I'rank Dorscy In JcopnrUy of Arrest.
But the failure of the bank was not by any
means the most startling feature , of tlio
financial embarrassment into which
the Dorsey brothers have been plunged. If
the apparently rellablo rumors now lloatlng
about the federal building prove to bo reli
able Frank M. Dorsoy will bo arrested and
tried for embezzlement and for falsifying
bank records. His case is said to bo almost
a parallel to that of Bank Wrecker Mosher
of the Capital National bank of Lincoln.
It Is alleecd that Bank Kxamlner Griffiths
discovered soon after taking charge of the
defunct Ponca bank that the concern had
been Juggled to an amazing degree. The
books had been falsified , genuine securities
had been disposed of and bogus securities
substituted , balances had been manipulated ,
and in divers ways the institution had been
gerrymandered so as to deceive the bank
examiner and the comptroller. These fraud
ulent acts are hold to bo the work of ex-
Cashier Frank M. Dorsey and his assistant ,
KzraD. Higglns.
It\is not fully known as yet , however ,
whether Hicgins will be caught In the drag
net , as the grand Jury is not yet through witu
the testimony and will probably spend an
other day iu looking into the records of the
bank before passing finally upon Mr. Higgins.
lluu. G.V. . K. Dorsoy Untnlntoil.
It seems rery improbable that ex-Con
gressman Dorsoy had any knowledge of the
manner in which the affairs of the bank
were being manipulated. So far as has been
given out the criminal acts seem to bo
charged up mostly to Mr. Frank M. Dorsey ,
with grave suspicions resting upon his
assistant. It is claimed that thousands of
dollars were wrongfully invested and dis
posed of by Dorsty and the surmise is that
ho squandered most of the money in wild
.speculations niid then attempted to cover
his tracks vby falsifying'the records of the
bank.
Ills Jonrnnl Too I'rarlcis.
Bui this is not the only surprise that the
federal grand Jury threatens to spring. A
prominent colored man of Omaha , the editor
of tha Enterprise , is also slated for an ap
pearance in court to answer to a charge of
printing nnd circulating indecent matter.
This Booms to bo ono of the results of a jour
nalistic wrangle between the editors of the
Progress and the Enterprise. Thu latter
grow a trifle too earnest in his attomnt to
prove oy long , swinging sentences of invec
tive thai his rival was about the most worth-
Jess colored man in seven states , and ho
seems to have rtm his foot Into the deadfall.
Among the minor offenders , who will como
into court for an embarrassing explanation
is one Joel Hall , who.io load of trouble has
come by me.ins of a contract which ho had
with Uncle Sam regarding some work and
which ho failed to perform in a proper man
ner. Ho not only fulled to perform the work
lie agreed to do but he got impudent about
the matter and now it looks as though ho
had bitten off a good deal moro than ho will
over bo able to masticate. There are also
some counterfeiters , whisky sellers and the
like , numbering half a score , and as a whole
the Jury appears to bo rounding out a pretty
full term's work.

WASHINGTON , May 29. [ Special Telegram
toTiiEBr.n. ] The comptroller of the cur
rency today received the preliminary report
of the examiner who looked into the affairs
of the Ponca National bank , which resulted 1
in the appointment of a receiver of that insti
tution. From the report it appears that the
nominal assets are about $100,000 against
liabilities of $110,000 , but in the assets are
included "banning liouso , furniture and fix
tures , " which will surely show a falling off
from $15,030 to $20OM in value when they
como to bo sold. Then , too , it will appear
that of the best of the Dills receivable about
$ -10,000 have bcon rcdiscountcd in eastern
banks , and nothing is yet known of the vuluo
of the remaining assets. There was only a
few hundred dollars in available cash at the
tlmo tha bank closed its doors , and the
amount duo from other banks , national and
state , had been reduced to a minimum.

under the mass of Ilowcrs heaped upon It
and surrounding It.
Carriages containing the officers of the

jjy the caisson walked the pall bearers ,
twcnty-flvo or thirty of the most eminent
citizens of Alabama from all parts ot the
state. By the side of the coffin a strong
body of confederate veterans marched in col
umns of fours , then followed tlio Louisiana
veterans , the special escort from New Or
leans to Richmond. Behind thcso came a
long line of infantry , a bodv of artillerymen ,
a squad ot cavalry and fifty cadets. The
Alabama veterans formed in two lines at the
capitol entrance and , led by thrco maimed
confederate officers , two with battle lings ,
one the Sixiy-fourlh Alabama , the other the
Thirty-second of Georgia , followed them and
faced the coffin as it was borne up' the steps ,
then they advanced and laid the worn and
tattered flags on the casket.
The supreme court room , where the coffin
lay instate , was tastefully decorated. Over
-tlio judicial bench was a huge stars nnd bars
flag , an old garrison flag , a portrait of Gen
eral Davis , under Iho flag and over in loiters
of evergreens , "Ho suffered for us. " The
Judges'desk was a bank of Ilowcrs with a

shield from the ladies and from confederate

on board.
At West Point the crowd was denser , if
possible , than at Opclika. The children
had the day hero. Every boy and girl had
a magnolia or a capo Jessamine , which they
passed up to the veterans. The ladles
handed mi moro elaborate offerings. These
on the outer circles of the crowd passed
them over to these in front.
At Newman , the lo-al infantry flrcd volley

down an opinion in the Impeachment casn
against George 11. Hastings , attorney general -

a goodly number of men of law pbrchlni ;
themselves on the window sills and tha

While the crowd walled , there were somo"
men who ventured an opinion that the de {

thought It would bo an acquittal , and others
went so far as to say that there would bo' '

relief to many , though it was a sere disap

The managers of the impeachment ami-

that now it is certain that tfio reports that ?
the case had already been decided were
