Tue Stax invariably holds to its rates; and, what is of greater im- portance to the advertisér, it charges everybody Me same price for the same service. This few papers do!

Va, and the money charged is alleged to have been taken on this route. Tho money was old wornout bills that were being shipped from the National Bank of Grand Rapids, Mich., to the Treasury Department for redemption.

A Pivot for Scientific Observation— Activity im Real Estate—Other Items. Correspondence of The Evening S Rocxvittx, May 10, 1891. ‘The question of the variation of latitude is one that has for several years occupied the at- tention of the scientific men of the world, and investigations in regard to the matter have been watched with much interest. This sub- ject is now being pursued by the International Geodetic Association, of which the coast and geodetic survey of the United States is a mem- ber, and for this purpose an expedition has been sent to Honolulu, of the Sandwich Islands, of which Dr. Marcuse of Berlin represents Ger- many and Mr. E. D. Preston the United States. In order to facilitate observations looking to the solution of the question the coast and geodetic survey has selected this town as a point of observation, and hes erected a small and temporary building, suitable for the pur- ‘on the premises of Mr. Edwin Smith in fest End Park. Mr. Smith isan assistant and « chief of a division in the office at Washington, THE PRESIDENT IN COLORADO. Me Spends Sunday at Glenwood Springs— Monogamy Upheld in Utah. In his address to the citizens of Salt Lake City on Saturday the President, after referring to tho great progress made by the territories, said: “We area people organized upon the principles of liberty, but, my good country- men, it is not license, it is liberty within and under the law. (Great applause.} I have no discord, as a public officer, with men of any creed, religious or political, if they will obey the law. [Applause.] My oath of office, my public duty, requires me to be against those who violate the law. The foundation of Amer- ican life isthe American home.

(Cheers.]” It had been intended to have the President stop at the Mormon Tabernacle and witness some simple services there, but the limited time at the disposal of the Presidential party prevented this. For the first time in the history of the tabernacle it floated the tsars and stripes from | its roor, and its congregation had gone fur- | ther in its endeavor to honor the President, by arranging for a trained chorus to sing patriotic airs during the presence of the distinguished visitor within the building. Six thousand ple, most of whom were school children, as- sembied in the tabernacle and waited an hour for the appearance of the President. THE RUN THROUGH UTAH. ‘The ran through Utah over the Rio Grande Western railway was a continuous ovation, the people at each of the places being very demon- strative in their welcome to the distinguished visitors. The first stop wasat the sugar fac- tory just east of Lehi, where the President ad- dressed the crowd, saying: “My friends, this industry which you have established here is very interesting tome. I hoy it is to open the'way toa time when we shall have a home supply of sugar forevery houschold.” {Cheers} At Proyo the travelers were greeted with national saluie and the school children were drawn up in line. Mayor Booth introduced the President as the greatest man of the great- est government on earth. The President re- sponded to the cheers which greeted this re- mark. ARRIVAL AT GLENWOOD SPRINGS, COL. The Presidential party arrived at Glenwood Springs, Col., yesterday morning. They were waited on about 8 o'clock by a committee from Denver, including Gov. Routt, ex-Senator Hill and Mayor Rogers, by whom they were assured of acordial welcome at Denver. The visitors were welcomed formally by Mayor Rogers, of Glenwood Springs, and escorted in carriages to the Glenwood Hotel, where they had breakfast. The President, Postmaster General Wanamaker and Mrs. McKee afterward attended the First Presbyterian Chureb. During the morning the President received the delegations from Lead- vilie, Aspen, Colorado Springs and elsewhere. ‘The delegation from Aspen presented him with an elegant souvenir—a beautiful plush case con- and will devote a portion of his time to taking observations at this point. The building is now completed and ready for the reception of a ze- nith telescope, which will be placed in position ina few days. The house now contains an astro- nomical transit and a chronograph, and will soon be supplied with an electric battery and all other necessary apparatus for the work. It is proposed to take observations at least every five days, when the weather is favorable for the sume. The building here is situated on an emi- nence overlooking a large extent of country and neara point from which » view of the Sugar Loaf mountain, and the Washington monument can be obtained and from which point satisfactory experiments in signaling by means of flashes of light were made some time ago by Capt. Perry Maus, U. S.A. Similar observations to those taken by Mr. Smith will be made at San Francisco by Prof. George Davidson of the U.S. coast and geo- detic survey, and a number of the observatories of the country will also take part in the work. ‘The handsome residence of Mr. Wm. Whiting at West End Park was on Friday night the scene of » brilliant german, which was partici- pated in by the youth and beauty of Rockville nd the surrounding country.

Some days ago Commissioner Ross called the attention of the health office to reports that the plumbing and sanitary arrangements of Providence Hospital were defective and asked that an be made. Today the acting health officer, Mr. J. C. McGinn, made report to Commissioner Ross on the subject as follows: In accordance with the instructions con- tained in your letter of the Ist instant I have made personal inspection of the building occu- pied by the Providence Hospital, being aecom- panied at the time of inspection by Inspector of Plumbing Robinson and Sanitary Inspector Shepherd. The principal portion of the drainage work in this building was constructed previous to the of the plumbing tions and of it is what is knownas style plamb- mi "fi, of \@ sewerage system consists of a main drain of thirty or thirty-six inch terra cotta pire running north from the center of the muilding to and connecting with the main sewer on D street.

Important as is the revision of the West- minster gonfession of faith, there is another question to come before the general assembly at its meeting in Detroit which, in « sense, eur- passes that in interest.

Destruction in Wiscon: sylvania and N The ravages of the forest fires in Michigan are increasing. Foxville was entirely wiped out Saturday night, eight houses and the rail- road buildings being destroyed. At Lumber- ton Charles Fortune's residence caught fire from flying sparks and was consumed. To the west of Boynefalls a number of houses and barnsand a large amount of valuable timber were destroyed on Saturday night. Newman sawmill at Freemont, together with the lum- ber, shingles, &c., in the yards, fell a prey to the flames. At Otia the tire burned five houses, six barns, a lot of pine and hard-wood lumber, shingles, lath and logs. A large amount of val- uable pine and hard-wood timber is burning now. Deer Lake, near Reed City,100 miles north of Grand Rapids, has telephoned for aid, and a steamer hus gone. The forests are ablaze and the Ousterhout {Fox immense lumber yard, with $250,000 worth of lumber, is surrounded by dames. Reports from northern Wisconsin are that recent heavy rains ‘ghecked the forest ‘fires. in many localities. rincipal damage has been to standing timber, ‘The Wiseonts Cen- tral was stopped in the Gogebec range by the burning of a bridge. The Ashland Iron and Steel Company lost 50,000 cords of wood at High Bridge. Dispatches from Bayfield say that trains on the Omaha road are delayed at Drummond by burning bridges. Fierce fires are reported burning in Shawnee county. A special from Keating Summit says: One of the largest forest tires known for many years is raging south and west of Austia, on the island of E. H. and C. W. Goodyear.’ ‘The fire has been burning since yesterday noon. It is esti- mated that 30,000,000 feet of logs and 10,000 cords of bark have been destroyed, besides ten miles of tram railroad. A disastrous forest fire is raging in Cape May county, N. J.

An Associated Prese reporter gained an inter- view with two deserters from the Chilian steamer Itata at San Diego on Friday afternoon and their story, added to what bas been printed in regard to the occurrences of the past week, completes an interesting narrative. These deserters have been keeping under cover since leaving the ship, because of fear that they may be retaken and punished, and it was only with the greatest difficulty that they were finally found and induced to make a statement. They told their story without restraint, as follows: ‘The Esmeralda, one of the finest war ships in the Chilian navy, im common with every other man-of-war’ belonging to that repub- lic, is now in the hands of congress. A party of insurgents left Iquique early in | April to convey the South American Company | steamer Itate ml the nearest American port for the purpose of buying provisions, as well as to get rms which bed already heen purchased by agents of the insurgents in New York and shipped to San Francisco to be placed on some coasting vessel and transferree to the Itata at some redezvous to be arranged later. ‘The transport and man-of-war sailed northward in company as far as Cape San Lucas, where, it bemg deemed unwise for the mau-of-war to proceed further, transfer was made of the .o,and a portion of the crew of the Esmeralda to the hold of the ltata, with their cutinssesand muskets, and after’ the captain of the warship had himeelf gone aboard the it being understood la would wait at San Li emaual memorial services at the National cemetery at Gettysburg on May 30 to deliver the oration. Dr. Morrison is the son-in-law of Joshua Begester, ar., of Baltimore, and also of the late Wlustrious Hey. Dr. 1 J. Breckinridge of for the return of the transport. One of the serters who gave these facts was one of marines who lay hidden in the hold of ‘Ttata, but after spending about a week in Pap mater bee erepeng eer ps to his cramped position on board, and jum was quict, he swam to North Island: came over to San Diego. fest Hl views on biblical theology have been pretty generally known in his own presbytery and wherever his books, “Biblical Study,” “Messi- anie Prophecy” and “Whither” have been read. “Whither” especially attracted widespread attention, but no general objection has been made to his views until the present winter, when he delivered his now famous inaugural address at the seminary in taking the new chair of biblical theology established by Charles But- lerof New York. In this address, while ex- pressing. as his friends way, no new views, he az announced his position more fully, per- bap . than in any previous publication. ‘ollowing the publication of this address pro- tests from various parts of the country have been made until nearly a third of the presty- teries have petitioned the assembly to take some action ‘ding the orthodoxy of the professor. ‘The New York presbytery, to which . Briggs ix personally responsible, took up the matter at its April meeting, when a com- mittee of seven was appointed to consider the address in question and to report in May. TWO REPORTS. The committee will present two reports at the meeting of the presbytery today, the majority report recommending that judicial action be begun at once and the minority deciding that no such action should be taken. ‘The commit- tee are four against Dr. Briggs and two in his favor. The general assembly will proceed in- dependent of any action by the New York pres- ytery. DR. HAMLIN’S POSITION. Afew days ago acircular letter was sent to hundreds of thealumni of the seminary, signed by Rev. Dr. Hamlin of this city, Dr. Jonn Hall in Chicago and others, protesting against any action which would seek to undermine the con- fidence of the church in Dr. Briggs or to re- move him from his t position. The pro- test concludes as follor “We earnestly protest, for the sake of the peace and the prosperity of the great Presby- terian church, against any action which seeks to undermine the contidence of the church in Dr. Briggs, or to remove him from his position of valued influence. While we differ among ourselves us to the acceptance of some of his | views, over which the present issue has been raised, we concur in the belief that unity and harmony within the church, together with an unimpeded inquiry after truth and the broad- est results of consecrated scholarship. are of the utmost importance. Hasty and unjust action against one so widely recognized as a leader of thought within the church would be the precursor of discord and of detriment to the whole Presbyterian church.” DR. BRIGGS’ DEFENSE. Dr. Briggs has just completed the prepara- tion of a defense. “Ishould have begun my answer, which is simply « revised edition of the pamphlet con- taining my inaugural address four weeks ago,” said he last night, “but was prevented by ness. Now it is completed, however. and will ‘be published next week. ‘There isa preface, which is new, and about twenty-five pages of explanations and amplifications of the address, but the address i pone —— z- not an apology nor a |, but simply a cleari ‘up of the points on which 1 have been a derstood. “For instance, Ido not say in my address that the three sources of Divine authority, the church, the Bible and reason, are co-ordinate or that either one is subordinate, although my critics insist that Ido. I do not contradict the pledge, cither, which I took when Iassumed the chair of biblical theology in Union Seminary, for that pledge says that the Bible is the only infullible rule of faith and practice, while my address is about the Bible as a source of Divine authority, not the rule of faith and practice. Moreoverpthe address about which there is so much worriment is simply u gathering of the ints of matters which { have discussed long Berore in other works at great length and is not a treatise on a new subject. It was not deliv- ered to thrust my views upon the public, but delivered at the instance of the founder of the chair I fill in the seminary to announce to the students the views I Roe omngy to teach in my future work as their professor. “Yhis is not a personal it. If it was T should resign at once. But I bave been made the target of the opposition to the new faith which may divide the church. They have be- gun the fight and we shall carry it on through the presbytery, the synod and the assembly if necessary. A Chureh Corner Stone Laid. A large assemblage witnessed the laying of the corner stone of the Trinity German [e- formed Church, 6th and N streets, yesterday afternoon. The program as printed in Satur- | and GLEANINGS FROM GAITHERSBURG. Successful Sunday School Convention—Peti- tion for a Double Track—Other News Notes. Correspondence of The Evening Star. Garruznesuno, Mp., May 11, 1891. The Montgomery county annual Sunday School convention, which has just closed ite sessions at Gaithersburg, occupying two days was, on the whole, the most successful and en- thusiastic meeting ever held in this county. The new and commodious M. E. Church South, in which services were held, was filled to over- flowing, there being an average of more than 500 people present at each session. The musi- cal feature of the program is especially deserv- ing of mention and_was presided over by Prof. E. M. Hine, the Baltimore cornetist, and Miss ie Walker, organist. On Saturday, at the first session, in the ab- sence of Rev. Geo. N. Knock, state’ organizer, who was delayed on account of a wrecked train, Bro.’D. H. Wyand called the meeting to order and E. L. Amiss was chosen secretary fot the entire meeting. At the second session routine business was taken up and disposed of. Atthe third session the first part of the theme for the convention, “The work, the workers, the material, the machinery and the ower,” was taken up and disc by Rev. Reo. Knock, ©. W. Crawford, EH Hency and others. The question box’ was then opened and the discussion of the questions was par- ticipated in by the congregation at largo. Yesterday the first session opened with asong and prayer service; led by BrothersJ.W. Briggs and D. H. Wyand. A resolution was offered and unanimously adopted ‘ideploring the non- observance of the Sunday luw by the state and corporations.” At the second session Rev. Geo. N. Knock preached the convention sermon and in the Afternoon an extra session was held fora children’s mass meeting, at which addresses were made by Rev. Mr. Myers, president of the Darnstown Academy, D. H.’ Bouie and Rev. Mr. Knock. At the third session the last part of the theme was most ably discussed by Rev. R. M. Moon and othors. The annual clections of officers for the ensuing year resulted in the choice of the following: E. L. Amiss, lent; C. W. Crawford, secretary; James L. Windsor, treas- urer; executive committee, D. H. Bouic, C. W. Prettyman, C. F. Duvall and M. Benson. The delegates ‘to the convention were: F. A. ‘Techiffely, Miss Lou Techffely, I. Young, Wm. V. Beall, Thomas J. Owen, E. L. Amiss, C. F. Duvall, Charles Grimes, Thomas Owens, Miss 8. C. Higgins, Miss 8. G. English, D. H. Bouic, Ida Phair, Mrs. 8. L. Boss, J. C. Rhodes, H. H. Beall, Miss Anna Reashaw, Joseph Reading, W. C. Dally, Miss Ida Deal,'L. M. Watkins. ‘The reception committee, who had charge of all ar- rangements, consisting of T. J. Owens (chair- man), P. M. Smith, C.8. Duvall, J. W. Briggs, E. L. Amiss, provided lodgings’ for ail guests free of charge. Ata mceting of the Gaithersburg Building Association Mr. Al Meem was elected vice pres- ident. This association has disbursed over $6,000 for building purpoves during the last year. Work on the new national bank is being pushed rapidly and it is expected that its doors will be opened for business not later than August. When completed it will be quite an imposing edifice. ‘The material used is brick and Ohio sandstone. Never in the history of Gaithersburg has there been such demand for houses as now, and a great many Washington people have already located hore for the suramer. For the convenience of the people of West Gaithersburg the Frederick express will stop on both trips at Ward's Station, commencing with today. A petition is being prepared, which will shortly be circulated for signatures of citizens residing along the Metropolitan branch of the Baltimore and Ohio railroad, addressed to the governor of Maryland, praying that he will take immediate action to compel the manage- ment of the Baltimore and Ohio railroad to lay an additional track from Kensington to Rock- ville and from Gaithersburg to its main stem. The petition gives in detail the number of acci- dents and deaths resulting therefrom and the date of their occurrence for the Inst three years, which are directly traceable to a single- track road, and acomparison is made with its double-truck road from Washington to Balti- more. It also states the approximate number of commuters and the number of express aud freight trains that run over this line. To give it additional weight it is proposed that a com mittee of fifty citizens shall presen: this peti- tion in person. It is uot thought that the recent cold wenther has hurt the peaches in this locality. “ENTERPRISE.” THE COURTS. Crmcurr Covrt—Judae Cor. On Saturday—R. A. Phillips agt. J. P.

The schooner Robert and Minnie was cap- tured on Saturday afternoon about three miles from Sam Pedro, Cal., by Deputy Marshal An- derson on board the tug Faleon. She made no resistance and was towed into San Pedro har- bor and tied up to the wharf. Allon board the Robert and Minnie are under arrest. They have delivered their cargo, but decline to say anything about the Itata. Before the schooner was captured Pilot Dill, who took the Itata out of San Diego harbor, went ashore. Dill was arrested at San Iedro. Supercargo Burch went to Los Angeles and was traced by a re- porter to Arcade depot, where he was waiting to take a train for San Francisco. Burch at first denied that he was the man wanted, but afterward acknowledged it and was arrested by Detective Harry Morse and is now in the cus- of the United States marshal. Burch says nded the arms, but declines to say at what int, but it is supposed to have been at Cata- ine or San Clements Island.
