General Gossip About It at the Department Today. Secretary Hoke Smith's latest pension de- cision was the topic of general discussion around the Interior Department today and among the pension attorneys along F street. Secretary Smith reccived numerous congratu- lations from members of Congrons and others who called during the day. The unanimous opinion of these callers was that the decision is a righteous one and in strict conformity with tho law of Congress, the act of June 27, 1890. “This decision will meet the approval of thinking people all over the country,” said one enthusinstio reformer. ‘There is no doubt that the people will uphold an attempt to give pensions to only those who deservo them and who are the beneficiaries intended by Congress. ‘The order which is revoked by Secretary Smith stretched the interpretation of the law to take in others than the actual beneficiaries.” The pension attorneys are snd, for the de- cision will make considerable difference in their fees in the future. a FITTING OUT THE NAVY. Vessels Neing Prepared to Go to Foreign Parts. The work of fitting ont our naval vessels for foreign service is progressing rapidly at the Brooklyn navy yard. ‘The Chicago, flagship of the European station, is under orders to sail direct to the Mediterrancan not later than June 15. The Philadelphia, which is going to the Pacific, will bo ready for sen in about a fortnight, ‘The Baltimore requires moro repairs than any other vessel at the yard, and will not be ready for sea for six weeks. She will go to Hong Kong by way of Gibraltar and the Suez canal. The San Francisco is in the best condition and will bo ready for duty as flagship of the North Atlantic station inside of ten days. t will take about six weeks to put the Bennington in good ropair and her futare service will be decided on in the meantime. ————-.-______ NOT KNOWN HERE. ‘The Story of Charges Against Superintendent Pollock of the Free Delivery System. The story published in a New York paper this morning that Superintendent Pollock of the freo delivery ecrvice of the Post Office Depart- ment is under fire on charges proferred against him of conducting his office for the benefit of republican politicians cannot be substantiated at the department. Nothing is known by ‘Maj. Pollock's superior officers in the depart- ment of any such charges andit cannot be learned that they have been filed. Maj. Pollock denies the allegations of partisanship or any improper conduct, and says that the charges are utterly groundless and so evidently improb- ablo on their face as to hardly merit denial. He is an avowed advocate of civil service and always held that the free delivery servico should be free of politics. en A Conference With the Secretary. Admiral Belknap, president of the board which conducted the trial of the New York, had conference with Secretary Herbert on that | subject today. ee anne Admiral Watker Tiere, Admiral John G. Walker, lately in command of the second division of the naval review flect, was at the Navy Department today.

Rodes to be collector of internal revenue for the eighth district of Kentucky. DR. BRIGGS’ TRIAL. —— The Union Seminary Professor Arraigned for Heresy. ee ee THE PRESBYTERIAN HlGti COURT Dr. Lampe Holds That Dr. Briggs and the Bible Differ. THE OPENING ARGUMENT TODAY. Utterances Which the Church Can- not Tolerate. ‘Tho greatest ecclesiastical trial of modern times, as it is termed, was "begun today in the New York Avenue Presbyterian Church, when Dr. Briggs, the Union Seminary professor, facod his accusors and his five hundred judges. ‘The general assembly of the Presbyterian Church in the United States of America mt as a high court. The court represented nearly a million Presbyterians in this country, who Tecognize the supreme authority of the general ‘assombly in ecclesiastical matters. The issue is one which a large portion of the church and a large majority of the gencral assembly evidently regard as one of the gravest that has ever risen inthe church, ‘To their minds the most scrious consequences will ensue if the church does not, through its highest authority, Pronounce anathema against Dr. Briggs, who is accused of denying the inerancy of Holy Scripture and teaching as true doctrines, which are contradictory of Scripture and of the con- fession of faith to which he subscribed when he was ordained as @ minister. ‘Thero wasa largo attendance at the church, people crowding into the galleries and even en- croaching on the space sot aside for the com- missioners, The proceedings, however, were not at all lively, for the erguments made were exceedingly formal in character. The judicial commitice drst reported upon the division of COL. JOHN M'COOK, time made between tho parties, fifteen honrs and a half being sot aside for talking beforo the vote is taken, Of courso most of thisis given to the parties in the case, the prosecuting com- mittee and Dr, Briggs. Dr. Briggs is to have seven hours. Then the case was opened with- out ceremony by Mr. McCook of the prose- cuting committee, who made a state- ment of the citations from the record on which the appellant would depend, and he was followed by Rev. Dr. Joseph J. Lampe of the prosecuting committee, who made the opening argument, attacking the judgment of the New York presbytery and analyzing Dr. Briggs’ utterances to show that they were contradictory of the accepted creed of the church. Dr. Lampo occupied all the morning session and a part of the afternoon, When tho assembly met and the devotional exercises were over the case was brought into court, so to speak, in three alligator skin satchels, packed so full of books and documents that they looked lumpy. One of these ried by Prof. Francis Brown, Dr. ciate: another by Mr. McCook an by Dr. Birch, chairman of the prosecuting commit- tee. Dr. Briggs and his friends, Dr. Brown and Dr. Frazier, and the’ mem- bers of the prosecuting ’ committee sat just inside the chancel rail of the church and below the platform where the moderator has his chair. Dr. Briggs is on the south side and the prosecuting committee on the north side. Each has a table, on which were de ited the alligator skin satchels and their con- tents, Dr. Briggs sits quietly during the pro- ceedings, generally with arms folded. His chair is tilted back a little and his fect braced against the step leading up to the moderator’s chair, He keeps his eyes fixed earnestly and intently on the speaker. PACING HIB JUDGES. As Dr. Briggs surveys tho faces around him in the assembly thero aro not many that he could count as friendly. The moderator, Dr. THE REV. DR. JOSEPH J. LAMPE, Craig, is immediately in front of him. Dr. Craig'sits with one leg crossed over the other in an ensy but still not, undignified attitude, His tall,slender figure and aquiline face suggest a memory of another Kentuckian, Henry Clay. Dr. Craig has also a blue grass glibness of speech. Dr. Briggs could hardly igok for any- thing moro than justice from the moderator, who in his sermon of a week ago declared very plainly that he conid have nothing but con- demnation for such utterances as have been ascribed to Dr. Briggs. At the right of the moderator, seated a little back, is Dr. Wm. C. Young, the moderator of the last general assembly, and also, like Dr. Craig, a Kentuckian, a man of slender and wiry frame. His thin, dark face is smooth, with the exception of a stiff gray mustache. He has heavy eyebrows and gives one the im- pression of being extremely serious. Ho is the man who has proposed a new deliverance, re- (Continued on Fifth Page.) AT THE WHITE HOUSE, The President Saw No Callers—Plans for His Fishing Trip. ‘The President received no callers today ex- cept at the public reception in the east room. He had a long conference with Sccretary Gresham and appointed Representative Mc- Creary’s man, Chas. H. Rodes, collector in- ternal revenue for the cighth Kentucky district. Ono other thing he had under consideration which was strictly per- sonal and very pleasing. He was thinking over and discussing the plans for a fishing trip to Hog Island.
