The Moderator Thinks It Too Early for Outbreaks. WORK AMONG FREEDMEN. Reports and Discussions of To- day’s Sessions, The general assembly in session at the New York Avenue Presbytermn Church has been in every respect avery quiet and decorous body. There bas been no serious contention on any point up to today. But today the specter that has been lurking around in committee rooms and even following ministers into pulpits came out in full view in the assembly. The Briggs case came to the front, “Such outbreaks are unnecessary at this stage of the game,” was the remark with which the ATTENTIVE DELEGATES. moderator rebuked a slight disorder that oc- curred in the general assembly room after it began its sessions. The scene referred to, described by ‘he moderator as an outbreak, was somewhat —_loud demand te be heard on what was seemingly only @ technical question. The moderator's remarks might be interpreted as meaning that there would be, to use his own expression, stage of the game before long in which out- breaks will’ be expected. ‘The question at issue was the proper reference of overtures which were considered as having a Béaring on the Briggs case, and the question of appeals from a presbytery to the assembly. Dr. Herrick Johuson and others insisted on the roference of certain of the over- tures to the judicial committee, and the moder- ator and the chairman of the committee on bills andovertures both finally assented practically to such a reference, but the subject came near un- covering the fire, which has so far been pretty well covered up, and an indication was given of the spirit with which the assembly will debate the questions in- volved in the Briggs case when it comes be- fore it. Dr. Johnson and Mr. Cutcheon, who sisted upon being heard despite the moderator’s declaration that he was out of or- der, wereapplauded by a portion of theassembly. ‘Then the assembly went on with quiet. orderly conduct of business relating to freedmen and other interests over which it is difficult to get up @ warm debate, but just at the close of the morning session the —_ overtures came up again. There was some sparring, but the proceeding ended with some pleasant remarks, which restored every one's good humor. The general expectation that the judicial committee would be ready to report on the question of the Eriggs appeal during the day kept up an interest in the pro- ceedings. There was a fair attendance of the delegates to the general assembly of the Presbyterian Church at the New York Avenue Church this morning when the devotional exercises began at 9 o'clock. Prayer and praise led by Rev. Theo, Bracken of Wa Keeney, Kan., occupied COMMITTEES | \ LOOKING UP THE COMMITTEES. the first haif hour. Themembers of the assem- bly were coming in constantly, and when the moderator rapped for order and the proceed- ings of the fourth day's session began the pews on the floor and in the galleries were well filled, As 1s his custom, the moderator, Dr. Craig, offered a brief invocation, and then the journal of Saturday was read by the permanent clerk, Dr. Moore. ‘MRS. BRICE’S RECEPTION. Dr. Bartlett announced that it was proposed at noon today that the commissioners should march‘in procession to the State Department building and be photographed in » body on the steps of the State Department. In making announcements respecting the reception by Senator and Mrs. Brice tomorrow evening Dr. Bartlett urged the fact that no one but those invited would be admitted. ‘There are,” he said, “about seventy-five wives or daughters here with commissioners. They will be ad- mitted—that is, one wife for each commissioner or one daughter (laughter). This is not a Mormon settlement.” Dr. Bartlett also read the invitation from Dr. James C. Welling, president, and the trustees of Columbian University to ‘attend a reception at the university building Thursday evening. “There will be collation,” remarked Dr. Bartlett, ‘‘and other things which Presbyterian ministers appreciate. On motion of Dr. Roberts the invitation was received with thanks. A Slight Breeze. Dr. Young read a report from the committee on bills and overtures recommending the refer- ence of various overtures and of other papers to different committees. ‘These included twelve overtures on the Briggs case, and six on the subject of appeals were referred to the judicial committee. ‘There were some overtures on the subject of appeals, which it was proposed to refer to the committee on church polity. ‘This seemed rather dry, and no one would have supposed it would have fanned the smoldering fire underneath the quiet assembly into flame, but it did. Dr. Herrick Johnson suggested that the overtures on appeals should go first to the judicial committee, and then if such action ‘was required they could go to the committee on church polity. Dr. Young stated that in the division of the matters the committee on bills and overtures had referred to the judicial committee the specific overtures on appeals relating to the case before the assembly and those that were general in their subject to the committee on church polity. Dr. Johnson said that the Chicago presbytery yr. Briggs had overtured to have the case of referred to the synod. Dr. Young and the moderator said that the reference would be made as Dr. Johnson had suggested. Dr. Johnson and several other members of the assembly addressed the moderator to speak ‘and there was some confusion. ME. CUTCHEON INSISTS ON BEING HEARD. The moderator put motion to refer the overtures as recommended, and was about to declare the motion carried, when Elder 8. M. Cutcheon of Detroit took his place in the cen- ter aisle, about midway between the door and theaisle, and addressed the chair. Mr. Cutcheon is alarge man and bas a strong voice. The moderator and the assembly could not fail to hear him. “Mr. Moderator,” said Mr. Cutcheon, “I claim my right to be heard. I addressed the moderator several times and I was not per- mitted to be heard.” o ted moderator did not see you,” said Dr. raig. “It was the business of the moderator to see me,” said Mr. Cutcheon. Mr. Cutcheon went on speaking, saying that an overture from the Detroit presbytery was involved in. this motion and bo claimed the right tu be heard on it. ‘Tho moderator declared Mr. Cutcheon out of order, as he interrupted the assembly when taking « vote and was not speaking to any mo- ion, “I appeal from the decision of the chair on the reference of those overtures,” said Mr. Cutcheon, ‘The moderator again declared Mr. Cutcheon out of order, Mr. Cutcheon again said he had addressed the moderator several times. “The moderator,” said that officer, “cannot. See every man who thinks he ought to be seen.” “Iwas on my feet and addressing you sev- eral times,” again said Mr. Cutcheon. “You being on your feet amounts to noth- ing.’ the moderator, “unless you catch the atten:ion of the moderator. You might ad- dress me forty times and I might not see you. hat is the trouble,” said Mr. Cutcheon, coolly and somewhat sarcastically, as he took his seat. During the colloquy there was some applause for Mr. Cutcbeon as he insisted on what he claimed to be his rights. The moderator remarked that the motion was only to refer these overtures to the proper committees, and he put the negative of the mo- tion and declared it carried. NOT AT THIS 8° AGE OF THE GAME. “Brethren,” he said quictly, “don’t you see that after all this great warmth there is nothing in it? There was no use of such an outbreak. I will give Mr. Cutcheon opportunity to have the floor in proper time. There is no use of raising such questions at this stage of the game. Ido not propose to cut off any debate unless the house grows weary of it.” Dr. Johnson essayed to continue the diseus- sion under a question of privilege, asking 11 formation as to the reference of the Cl overture, which he said had not gone to tl committee on billsand overtures, but the mod- erator called for the regular order, which was s report from the standing committee on freed- men, WORK AMONG THE FREEDMEN. The report of the committee was read by the chairman, Rev. Geo. L. Spining, D.D. The committee paid a tribute to the services of the late Dr. Allen, the secretary of the board. The report stated that the receipts for the year were $178,000, not including the balance for last ‘MR. GEO, L. SPINNIG ON FREEDMAN’S BUREAU. year. There bad been a falling off in the con- tributions trom the churches and the women's boards, but in spite of that the board was able to make the grati! ig statement that after all expenses were paid the year would close with a balance of $50,000, ‘The report also referred to the contributions received from the colored people—money, it was stated, which was given under difficulties and at a good deal of self-sacrifice. The con- contributions from this source alone amounted to $50,000, The work under the charge of the board had made progress and there were now 258 churches sustained by the board. Reference was also made to the necessity of enlarging the building occupied by the schools, The work of the Southern’ Presbyterian Church in advancing the education of the colored people was com- mended and the report stated that church was ready to co-operate with the southern church. The part taken by the woman's board received appreciative notice in the report. jddle University was mentioned as the chief institution of learning. A complete collegiate education could be obtained there. All of the eleven professors except one were colored, and the institution marked a new departure when DR, SANDERS OF BIDDLE UNIVERSITY. the education of the colored race was carried on by their own people. The buildings are now crowded and a generous endowment was needed to carry on the work. Authority was usked for the board to raise $400,000 for Biddle University and that a finan- cial agent be employed to solicit subscriptions to this fund. It was further recommended that the members of the board whose time had ex- pired be re-elected. Dr. Spinnig concluded his report and then spoke of the inadequacy of the, report owing to Jnck of time to prepare it. He said that he had not time to refer in the report to the industrial training schools, which was a most important feature of the report. He spoke of the difference in the training of colored ministers of today and a few years ago, and in illustration requoted the remark of an old colored man who was asked in regard to Continued on Sizth page. PRINCESS EULALIE. She Had Her Photograph Taken in a Ball Dress. A FLASH OF SUNSHINE That's What She Looked Like as She Went to Her Carriage—Sight Seeing This After- noon—A Fine Collection of Autographs— A New Attache to Her Retinue of Servants. eS ee Her royal highness, the Infanta Eulalic, spent Sunday in a quiet, restful way. Like all good Catholios, she first acquitted herself of the obligation of assisting at mass. When in- formed of the hour of the different services | at St Matthew's Church she selected the low mass at 9. A carriage was waiting to drive the party thither, but the distance was too short und the princess preferred to walk. Her husband, Prince Antoine, the Marchioness Ereo Her- mosa and the Duke Tamoures accompanied her. Scarcely any one they met on the way to the church knew them. Sexton Bar- nett walked ahead of them down the aisle to the first pew, Mrs, M. V. Dahigren’s pew for many years back. The princess went in first and noticing the hesitation of her lady in wait- ing, the marchioness, to take the place beside her said to her in Spanish, “You must sit near me or I shall go in that pew with you.” Low mass was celebrated by Rev. T. J. Ker- vick,who, after reading the gospel for Pentecost Sunday, gave a short, eloquent discourse on the lessons of the feast. SUBMITTED TO INSPECTION. After mass the princess and party came up the aisle with the rest of the congregation. At the door she waited to exchange a word members of the Spanish legation, and at the same time submitted " most graciously to the inspection of the throng, which by this time had lined the sidewalk out tothe step where her carriage was waiting. As she drove off the gentlemen standing around prettiest tributes yet paid her royal highness in this city. ‘The princess wore to church a comfortable walking dress, ‘The skirt. cleared the ground and was made of soft gray wool with tiny white polka dots. A navy blue ilk blouse wus belted in with blus moire ribbon with bows and streamers on the left side. She wore a plue sailor hat with ared band and carried a red umbrella with a fancy knob handle. ‘The party went driving for a time in the morning and again in the afternoon. At 5 o'clock Secretary Gresham took the princess and her husband out to the Soldiers’ Home, but they were back before theshower. At night the royal party enjoyed what the Spanish min- ister called a “family” dinner at the legation. Only the members of the legation were pres- ent Her Movements Today. ‘This morning the royal party was up betimes and as usual broke their fast by having choco- late or coffee aud rolls served in their apart- ments. There were a few callers before 9:30, but no one was admitted except Commander Davis. The florist went 1a and arranged fresh posies in all the parlors and rooms of the first suite and the clock winder made a tour of inspection to see if all the clocks were behaving themselves properly in the midst of such royal doings. _ Conversation between the hotel servants and those of the Princess’ suite is conducted entirely by panto- mime. It is rather siow, but is an interesting performance, and few mistakes are made. There are two licemen stationed at the hotel door now all the time. Sometimes this body guard is reinforced by » detail of the hotel's special detectives. When the princess is coming out to her carriage the policemen forsake the H street entrance and make the Vermont avenue steps formidable by their presence, ‘The princess intended to go sight-seeing this morning, but a change was made in the pro- gram. Instead of the fatigue of seeing sights, she endured another kind of fatigue—looking at camera, She was photographed. GETS HER PICTURE TAKEN. The little band of the curious who were wait- ing to see her come out when her carriage dashed up at 10 o'clock, were rewarded by hav- ing @ vision of royalty in full dress, She ‘ran quickly down the steps and was in the carriage before the crowd had collected its thoughts for a second glance.

Only Commander Davis and the marchioness accompanied the princess on this expedition, While they were away Prince Antoine and Senor Javer went out for stroll up and down F street, looking in the windows.

The princess and suite were back at the hotel for breakfast at high noon. The princess had asked for a distinctively American breakfast. ‘This was the menu: Eggs a la chipalata, shad Toe, sauce perigenix, hashed browned potatoos, fried chicken, Virginia style; broiled tomato, lettuce salad, strawberry shortcake, ice cream, champagne, coffee. The afternoon was spent in sightseeing. To- night the princess will dine with ex-Minister and Mrs. Curry. Tomorrow abe will go to Mount Vernon, and in the evening will dine in state with President and Mrs, Cleveland. The guests invited to meet the princess at this dinner are the members of the cabinet and Indies, the justices of the Supreme Court and Lane Johnston and the Spanish minister. THE ETIQUETTE OF CALLING. The etiquette of calling on the princess here is pretty much the same as it is when she is at home in her own palace. A book is kept at the ladies’ entrance of the Arlington Hotel on H street in which such rsons as are entitled to call on her royal tighness are requested to inscribe their names and addresses, and such inscriptions will be considered as a call, The princess will receive no private visits at her stay or any callers whatever except those of an official character, . This calling book is neatly bound in black and has stamped on the upper cover: “In- fantes Du Antonio y Da Eulalia.” A COLLECTION OF AUTOGRAPHS, Five or six pages are already covered with names, nearly all of members of the diplomatic corps. The last name to be inscribed this morn- ing was that of Mr. Geo. Trimble Davidson, who is in Washington not entirely for his health. He represents the mayor of New York and is assistant secretary of the mu- nicipal and Columbian entertainment commit- pleasure of the princess as to the arrangements in that city for her reception. These calling books are quite familiar to Persons accustomed to calling at royal palaces, where there are separate books kept for each member of the royal family, one for ladies to sign and one for gentlemen, ' No visiting cards are left on royalty.

Vernon has been changed from Tuesday to Wednesday. The Macalester will take the party down, starting at 11 o'clock and returning about 3. There will be about fifty in the party. few others, Tomorrow morning will be spent in sight-seeing. pee +. MICHIGAN POLITICS, Mr. Dickinson Interesting the President in the Factional Fight. This is one of the days when the President | does nof receive callers, and, respecting his jorders, mone were at the White House to see bim this morning. Mr. Thurber returned from Michigan and was in his office. Congressmen Stout of Michigan and Coombs of Brooklyn were among those who called on him. He also bad a long visit from Don M.

The fight in which | the Michigan democrate are engaged is growing more bitter and more serious, with apparently no idea of compromise or placation. Stout is one of the Michigan men not satisfied with the situation, and who, on hearing of the appointment of referees to pass upon the ques- tuon of patronage in controversy, wrote to the Post Office Department withdrawing all recom- mendations he had made for appointments, While he sat at the door of the private secre- tary this morning waiting for # chance to get a word in Mr. Dickinson was holding the fort is side.

In certain quarters some question has bee raised as to the competency of Mr. Blount to discharge the duties cf United States minister to Hawaii owing to the peculiar circumstances surrounding his appointment, which, of course, involves the validity and force of all that he has done. Inquiry at the Department of State establishes clearly the fact that there, at least, no doubt is entertained in respect to these point. As soon as Mr. Blount receives notice of his ap- pointment, whioh, by the way, will be as “envoy extraordinary and minister plenipo- tentiary to the court of Hawaii,” he may go before the nearest United States consular officer wd take the oath of office. From that moment his salary as minister begins. Under the ueual practice he would not be competent to discharge the duties of mimster until he pre- sented his credentials to the provisional gov- ernment, and these credentials have not yet reached him. But if the Hawaiian gov- ernment is disposed to waive that for- MISSION. a and such acts < ae are | by no means infrequent in diplomatic usage, | ne would be accorded all of ‘the rights and i privileges of a minister as soon as notice was conveyed to the Hawaiian government of his appointment, In addition to this, however, Mr. Blount went to Hawaii, not only as a com- missioner but asan “envoy,” and it is said at the department that there 1s no act which he could have committed, even, perhaps, the ne- gotiation of a treaty and certainly the exchange of diplomatic notes, that were. not just as fully within bis compotenceas if he were the recognized United States minister to Hawaii, patsoeaneneresorarts LEGATION ATTACHES, Army and Navy Officers Abroad Likely to Be Changed. It is expected that there will soon be a change in the detail of officers attached to our legations in Europe. There is but one vacancy of this kind at present—that at Paris caused by the enforced recall of Capt. Borup of the ordnance department, These details are usually for term of four years and most of the incumbents have nearly completed their terms. Maj. Post of the engineer corps has served at London for nearly three years, and Capt. Heine of the cavalry has been attached to the legation at Vienna for nearly four years, Lieut Allen of the cavalry, attached to the lega- tion at St Petersburg, is now in this city on leave of absence. He has alrendy served about three years in Russia and, it is said, will return to his’ post at the expiration of hisleave. The other mili- tary attaches abroad are Capt. Bingham of the engineer at Rome, Lieut, Harris of the cavalry at Brussels and Lieut: Evans of the infantry at Berlin. ‘These three officers have only been detailed for for- eign service at a recent date, and are therefore likely to be the last disturbed in their present assignments, a SE THREE YEAKS THE LIMIT. Those Who Have Held Fieet Commandé That Long Must Give Way. Tt will gladden the hearts of many naval officers and especially those near the top of the Indder, who cherish the hope of being able to command a squadron before they die or retire, to know the policy that governed Secretary Herbert in making the recent important changes in squadron commands and relieving Admirals Gherardi and Walker from sea duty. The Sccretary was under heavy pressure in these cases; neither of the admirals wished to relinquish sea commands, and they had many zealous friends who urged their cause. In this state of affairs the Secretary caused to be prepared a list of the sea service of rear admirals while incommand of squadrons, from date running back to the war and since the establishment of the grade of rear admiral. He found that up to last year but one euch | ofticer—Rear Admiral Brown —had commanded |® squadron for a longer period than three years, Admiral Gherardi hed flown his pennant over a squadron ubout four years and Admi- ral Walker was a close second with three and a | half years to his credit. If these officers were to be continued in their com- mands it meant the adoption of « w policy by _ the 'y Department, and this Secretary Herbert was loath to do, realizing that it might result in in- Justice to and discouragement of man worthy officers who were already suf- ferimg from the stagnation in promotion that has been the bane of the naval service since the close of the war. So the Secretary decided in this case, and he has announced that such will be the policy of the depart- ment in future, to relieve the officers who have held fleet commands for over three years and give the other officers an opportunity to see the admiral’s pennants over their own squadrons, ++ —____ Post Office Promotions.
