Lawyers and Theologians Engage in a Dialectic Battle. REV. TOM HALL’S VICTORY. Scenes in the Assembly on the Eve of a Great Trial. Big mon loomed up in the general assembly this morning, big men physically and mentally. There were the tall figure of Rev. Tom Hall, the broad frame of Elder Eudaly, the great form of Judge Wills of Gettysburg. There were others equally burly andbrainy. It was a ekir- mish preceding the battle of the giants. Voices rang out loud and clearly and earnestly in a short and sharp debate over a proposal to Tefcr overtures relating to the Briggs case to the judicial committes. Anti-Briggs men opposed such a reference, but the proposal was finally carried, not because of the strength of the Briggs side so much as the superior strength of the position they held on this particular point. In this matter they had the committee en bills and overtures with them. The lawyere threw themselves into the PANS IN DEMAND. midst of the conflict with the theologians and were worsted. Rev. Tom Hall routed them with ecclesiastic law. The right of petition was maintained. It was the opening of an in- teresting day. ‘The report of the judicial com- mittee on the appeal of Prof. Briggs was the order for the opening of the afternoon session. It was well known in the morning that the majority of the committee would report in favor of entertaining the ap- peal and the trial of the case by the assembly; still the actual report was awaited with much interest. After tho skirmich in the morning over the overtures the subject of home missions occupied the attention of the assembly and several eloquent speeches were made. The Fifth Day's Session. Tho fifth day's session of the general assembly began this morning in the New York Avenue Church promptly at 9:30, ‘The usual half hour devotional exercises were conducted by Rey. A. Nelson Hollifield, D. D., of Newark, N. J. ‘Then the moderator took the chair and the journal of tho. preceding day's session was rea THE RECEPTION AND RIDE. Dr. Bartlett made a further announcement in regard to the reception by Mrs. Brice this afternoon and said that the commissioners who had not as yet received cards of invitation would find thom in the post office. He added further that the reception was unconventional, and that the ordinary street dress could be worn. It was not expected, observed Dr. Yartlett, that the guests should remain the en- tire three hours, but the company would come and go. He explained that the Corcoran house, the residence of Mrs, Brice, was not the Cochran Hotel. He gave the exact location and further said that the hose had no front door, as come one had said, but that the entrance was through a vort of alley. A notice was also given of the carriage ride to Arlington and the Soldiers’ Home, which has been arranged for Saturday. ‘The Briggs Overtures Again. Dr. Young, chairman of the committee on bills and overtures, recommended that five overtures, numbered from 203 to 207 incl. which, he said, had a bearing directly or ind rectly on the case before the committe, be re- ferred to the judicial ecmmittee. Dr. Booth said he believed it to be fale in principle and, unwiee in policy to attempt to influence the jiidicial committee sitting in the DR. YouNa. Preparatory stages of a court by appeals to it bearing upon a matter under investigation. Suppose the appeals were intended to stimu- Inte a prosecution and were agninst the de- fendant? He did not believe the idea of re- ferring them to that committee would be en- tertained for a moment in such acase. He thought that it was enongh that this committee should pass upon the questions of law before it. He did not think it right that they should have fifty or sixty overtures on the subject referred fo at He thought. these matters should ego before tho assembly itself when it acted on“the questions. Prof. Brown said that it was a matter of pleasure to some of them to know tl there were fifty or sixty such overtures, He argued that the proper mode of procedure,and the one the assembly bad a right to was the considera- tion of them by the judicial committee. Dr, Young said that the committee had simply followed precedent. Dr. Booth, he said, was mistaken in saying there were fifty or sixty such overtures. There were not nearly so many SAID To BE AN OUTRAGE. Judge Wills of Gettysburg, Pa., said thathe was member of the committee on church polity, and he believed he knew something of the char- acter of the overtures referred to. He was of the opinion that if the assembly was aware of their character that they would all be remanded back to the prosbyteries. | ‘Theso papers bad reference toa judicial case that would come before the assembly and was now before the judicial committee, and they were designed to affect the judgment in the case. He thought that such papers ought to be stamped with dis- approval and pigeon holed by the committee on bills and overtures. He believed that it was an outrage on justice and that either the com- mittee ought to turn such witnesses down or report them to the assembly for its action. r. Herrick Johnson said that this was not a question as to the interpretation of law. The law simply provides for the reference of the ‘er to the synod if the assembly deems ad- visable. Now, the question was not of law, but of expediency, and the assembly certainly The Princess Eulalie Got Somewhat Tired Sightseeing Yesterday. THE WHITE HOUSE DINNER In Her Honor Tonight Will Be a Great Event—Elaborate Floral Decorations Be- ing Arranged—The Other Guests—A Trip to Mt. Vernon Tomorrow. —— should have the enlightenment contained in these overtures as to the sentiment of the pres- byteries. Mr. Endaly asked what question of reference was before the assembly Dr. Johnson said he wi Judge Wills had said on the assumption that this was a question of law. It was not a ques- tion of Inw, but one of expediency. and on that ground the presbyteries which bad overtured the assembly ought to be heard. ANOTHER JUDGE SPEAKS. Judge Purnell said this was a judicial case brought to the highest judicatory of the church. Suppose one of the pleas of the case was as to This morning was a sort of go-as-you-please for the royal party at the Arlington. There was no formal program for them to follow until after their midday breakfast. Visitors came and went, especially the latter. Her royal highness saw no one. The party is just alittle fatigued. The warm weather has something to do with increasing this feeling, and yesterday's program of sightseeing through the Treasury, Capitol and on top of the Washing- ton monument was rather hard work. Talk- ing it all over yesterday it was decided to leave this morning an idle one. So the princess and her household walked out a little, drove a little, but rested more than anything else. At noon time breakfast was served and at 1 the entire party with the Spanish minister went for a tally-ho drive. The destination was Cabin John bridge, and, per- haps, to the Great Falls. TONIGHT’S WHITE HOUSE DINNER. Tonight the Infanta Eulalie and Prince An- toine, the Duke Tamames and the marchioness will dine at the White House at 8 o'clock. There will be covers laid for thirty-six guests. Today the mansion was closed to sightseers, as the florists were busy — decorat- ing the rooms. Quantities of palms are arranged in the customary way in the east rvom, the other parlors and along the corridor to the state dining room, interspersed with blooming hydrangeas, &c. ‘As the night prom- iees to be warm there will naturally be less replying to what DR, GRAHAM OF PHILADELPHIA. the jurisdiction of the assembly. In that case it was manifestly unjust that any presbytery except that of New York should come in’ bere and Interfere. It was manifestly unjust and in a civil case would not be tolerated for a mo- ment. No presbytery, ho insisted, had a right to interfere in @ case of this kind and to under- take to intlueace by popular vote and clamor tion on a case before a committee of the as- sembly. ‘There wasconsiderableapplause from different parts of the house following the remarks of dif- ferent speakers. When Dr. Thos. C. Hall, the handsome young divine from Chicago, made a spirited speech he received a burst of applause which was more marked than that given to the others, and proceeded fromthe Briggs “‘cor- ner. ECCLESIASTICAL AND NOT LEGAL PRECEDENTS. Dr. Hall protested aginst citing precedents from civil courts to influence the assembly. There was not, he declared, a civil court, there was not a court in Christendom that would try this case. This was an ecclesiastical court aud the ecclesiastical precedents were overwhelm- ingly in favor of the right of petition Dr. Young, chairman of the committee on billsand overtures, said the committee had care- fully considered these matters and the majority of the committee is in favor of referring the overtures to the judicial committee. He said he believed they should let that committeghave e fullest light. He did not fear the résult, “Let us,” said Dr. Young, “give the benefit of every doubt to what we cail the weaker side.” ‘The recomuendation of the committee that the overtures be referred to. the judicial com- mittee was then approved, although there was a very large minority’ apparently voting against such reference. THE UNION SEMINARY CAS®. Dr. Roberts, the stated clerk, presented in 9 sealed envelope the report of the arbitrators on PRINCESS EULALIE. massing of plants in the window recesses of the dining room than is customary on grand ocea- sions. Some international allusions in the way of floral arrangements will deck the table. Among the guests will be the cabinet and Indies, Chief Justice Fuller, Gen, and Mrs. Schofield, the Spanish ' minister, Sen- ator Sherman, Senator Gray and Mr. and Mrs. Curry. Mrs. Gresham, Mrs. Olney and Mrs. Lamont have come on’ for the occasion. ‘The princess will be escorted to dinner by the President and Mrs. Cleveland will go in with Prince Antoine, A TRIP TO MOUNT VERNON. Tomorrow morning at 11 o'clock the royal party will set sail for Mount Vernon. The royal yachts in these waters at present not be- ing considered just suitable for the entertainment of the princess the Macales- ter has been chosen. The party will consist of about fifty persons, the cabinet and ther ladies, the. members of the Spanish legation and the foreign ambassadors. An:bassador Bayard and wife, who are here, will, it is un- derstood, be of the party. The Arlington chef will go along, too, and a hot luncheon will be served at 12 o'clock before the party lands. There will be pretty floral arrangements on the boat and the company will lunch at small tables laid in the ladies’ saloon. The decks will be fixed up comfortably with the rugs and every semblance of comfort given wherever possible. At Mount Vernon the dis- tinguished visitors will be received by the regent of the Mount Vernon Ladies’ Axsocia- tion, Mrs. Townsend, and all the vice regents, who'are just assembling there for their annual council.

Last night the princess was the guest of honor at a dinner given by ex-Minister to Spain and Nirs. J. M. L. Curry at their residenee on M strect. The honor of being the first to entertain the royal visitors is tho result of the intimate personal acquaintance formed while Mr. and Mra. Curry and her busband were residents of Madrid. The princess, there- fore. gladly accepted the invitation to dinner and desired, too, that for once her royalty would be laid aside, and that she be enter- tained simply as any special guest m accord- ance witb American enstoms, When the royal party arrived they were met at the carriage step by Mr. and Mrs. Curry and oscorted to the drawing room, where ail the other guests had assembled.

The stair ray as far as it could be seen was covered with clusters of snowballs and green leaves.

The friendly mediation of the United States, through Secretary Gresham, has averted a serious rupture between the governments of Japan and Corea. A few months ago the latter country was threatened with famine, and for purposes of self-preservation the export of coffee and grain was temporarily prohibited. The trade in these commodities was mainly in the bands of Japanese merchants resident in Corea, and the edict against their exportation paralrzed their business. They made vigorous protest against the sutnmary enforcement of the. decree and asked a short delay in order that they might at least comply with their existing contracts. WOULD MAKE No CONCESSIONS. ‘The Corean government was in astate of panic, however, and would make no conceasions whatever. The cause of its subjects was as- sumed by the Japanese government and a demand was made for the revocation of the objectionable decree. Coreans maintained their position as just and reasonable under the circumstances, and refused to modify the decree against exports in any respect. TRE SITUATION SERIOUS. The situation became serious and it began to look as if the two countries would go to war. The Japanese government recalled its minister from Corea and issued orders for the fitting out of a war expedition against ite western neigh- bor. The commercial nations of the world naturally became alarmed at the danger to their large iuterests in Japan and Corea and steps were taken to avert an actual resort to warfare. The United States took a leading part in the negotiations for a peaceful settlement of the difficulty, and AIR BRAKES FAILED.

She Has Taken Ten Days Longer Than Was Expected. There is somo disappointment among officials of the Navy Department over the slow trip of the Atlanta, and it is even in- sinuated that her commanding officer, Capt. Higginson, hopes in this way to vindicate his judgment against her starting with defective boilers. ‘The vessel left New York on the 12th instant and was expected to reach her destina- tion, Greytown, Nicaragua, on the 18th instant. The Boston, her sister ship, made the same trip in five days three years ago, when there was no special necessity for haste. The Atlanta ar- rived and sailed from Kingston, Jamaica, on the 2ist instant, and will probably reach Greytown tonight or tomorrow. She bas al- ready been ten days on the trip. It is possible that she has had bad weather and adverse winds, Capt. J. R. Bartlett, who will succeed Capt.
