TWENTY-FIRST YEAR. NEW IDEAS OF SALVATION. Presl y'erians Leaving the O1d Ruts for the Broad Highway of Progression, MEETING OF THE NEW YORK PRESBYTERY, Dr. Briggs Takes a Prominent Part in the Discussions—Women Workers in the Cause of Temperance. New Yous, Nov, 16.—The New York prosbytery met in the Scotch Presbyterian church. The entire afternoon was devoted to the consideration of the reportof the com- mittee on revision, which was submitted at tho session held a week ago. Dr. Charles A, Briggs and his triends wero on hand. The professor succeeded in securing one or two fmportart amendments to the roport. The most important discussion was that over the amendment recommended by tho committeo that all reference to forcora tion or everlasting death or any doctrine of nonelection should bo omitted, It was recommended that the doctrine be strickon out because it 1% merely a logical and phil osophical inference, deduced from the doc- trine of clection, and is not a part of the holy scripturcs. “Tho discussion between those favormg the rotention of the doctrine of foreordination and those opposed 1o it consumed the greater portion of the session. The first resolution_reported by the com- mitte was adopted. In the second it w amended by suggesting condensation instead of “slight condensation’” as reported by tho committee. The third resolution, excopting the two sections relating to the doctrine of sovereign election, sovereign preterition, eternal forcordination to death, ete., was finally passed as reported by the committeo after u long debate, Dr. H. M. Iield made o strong argument against forcordination. On motion of Dr. Briggs tho words, “In the act of regeneration,”” wero stricken out in section 2, after considerable discussion by Dr. Briggs, Dr. Sanford and others, Dr. Briggs urging that some provision should be made for the salvation of those incapable of beiug called by the miuistry of the word and for ine heathen. A substitute offered by Dr. adopted as follows: Infants dying In infaney and other persons who ure Incapable of being called by the min- 1stry of the word are re ated and saved by Christ, through the spirit which worketh when and where and how it pleaseth; ulso many other persons who have not been called by the ministry of the word. ‘The last clause was moved by Dr. Briges, Section 4 was so amended as to read us fol- lows Those persons who are called by the minis- try of the word and yot resist the Holy Spi and never t v Lo Christ, cannot re any sal fon in v thun by Christ, frath and spirit. At 5 o'clock Dr. George L. Shearer suid it was evident that the presbytery would not finisk the consideration of the réport, and ho moved to adjourn until Thursday. Dr. Wylie amended to adjourn until next Monaay afternoon at 3 o'clock, whicn Dr. Shearer accepted. At 0 o'ciock the presbytery adjourned to meot in tue lecture room of the church next Monday afterncon at § o'clock. During the discussion at tho session, Dr. Hastings, president of Union theological seminary, mado a_vigorous talk. “[ am free Briggs was to say that I am in favor of striking out all meution of the doctrine of non election,” he said, “‘the doctrine of preterition, I avhor. [ believe with all my soul that the Lord in His infinite mercy passcth no man by, where thero is a conscience, there is the holy spiit.”’ Dr. King then spoke in favor of preteri- tion. 3 Dr. VanDvke, chairman of the general as- sembly commitiee, made a specck, in which he said that he had come to the conclusion that the doctrine of pretorition was logically wrong. Preterition was the logic of the dark nges. Dr. H. K. Field wanted to ask Van Dyke to carry the line of his local system still further, He demanded to know by what right the revisors attempted to limit the grace of God. He did not believe that the heathens who served the Lord according io their lights could bo excluded from the bene- fit of salvation. Dr. Sutton favored going back and holding on to the old ¢ ion of faith. He did not believe in su ing the obstacles which doterred some from joining the church so long as ho believed tho doctrine to bo true. He Qid not eare if be were in the wminority. Christ’s children were always in the minority. Dr, Briggs wanted to hold the church from accepting as dogmatic that which they had no possiblo evidence of in the bible, He was 23 years of age before he believed that infants wore all saved and there weve many 1o tho church who still demurred from his belief, TEMPERANCE UNIONS.

Loxnoy, Nov. 16,—News from Brazil con- tinues of the most couflicting character. Oficial dispatches from kio do Janeiro as- serting with unequivocal positiveness that the country is absolutely tranquil, while telo- grams from Buenos Ayres and Santiugo ro- port Brazil torn with dissensions and_ seces- sion. Actual facts will probably not bo kaown until mail advices are received as official censorship provents dispatches not approved by the government reaching Europe direct. It is not known how such dispatches reach Buenos Ayres and Chili. “The latest official advice from Brazil states that the trouble in Rio Grande do Sul is purely local and that the government of that state is now in the hands of tho provisional juuta. It is inferred from this that tho au- thorities at Itio regard the junta in sympathy with the central goverument, but this story is contradictod by dispatehes’ from Santingo to the Times. These declare that the pro- visionul junta has taken absolute control and asserts that it hws an army of $0.000 men armed with rifles. 1t 15 short of artillery and has but oao war vessel, a river monitor lightly armed. Confined to One Provines. Wasnixatos, D. C., Nov. 16.—Senor Men- donca, the Brazilian minister, has received a cablegram from the Brazilian minister of foreign affairs, instructing him to affirm that complete tranquility reigns in all states ox copt Rio Grande do Sul where conflicts, pro- voked by questions prrtaining to local poli- tics, occurred, with which, in virtue of the constitution, the federal 'government conld not interfere. Deny rumors of secession; the idea is condemnéd oy all Brazilians, Af: firm that no state thinks of seceding; deny that members of the dissolved congress aro in foreign legations as refugees. Nearly all the members of the congress returned to their states, those who romain go about at liberty. Thus far the government bas taken no violent measure. A day will be set for the next election and congress convoked to meet. Tne minister also received private in- formation to tho offect that the length to which the reported revolationary movement in tho state of Para went was the adoption by tho state assembly of a resolution con- demning the action of the president and ap- proving the course pursued by the congress. Willing to Be Sacrificed. Pamis, Nov. 16.—According toan official communication, sent to the public pross, the leaders of the Brazilian colony here havo passed a resolution to the effect that Dom Pedro, sceing with profound grief events in Brazil tending to dismembor the country, is ready to return if the nation desiros his presence in order, in nis old age, to render a final servico to' tho union, iategrity and greatuess of nis fatherland. Delegates representing 40,000 miners met at Tenos and declared an immediato general strike of miners in the north of France.

NOVEMBER 17, MERELY A MATTER OF FORM, | Why Omaha's Postcffics Emploges Were Disturbed Last Week, APPOINTMENTS WERE NOT IN ORDER, Civil Service Commission Questions Postmaster Olarkson's Manner of Selecting His Force—How the Troubls Occurred. 3 PounTeeNTi STiEET, Wasiivaroy, D. C., Nov. 16, There were no new developments at tho postoftice department today in the Omaha Postofiice civil service controversy. It may not bo new to the readers of Tig Bee but this controversy bas been going on between the Postofice department and Postmaster Clarkson and the cwil servico commission for fully three months. Only five clerks and three mail carriers have been ordered dis- missed, instead of sixteen lotter carriers as reported by the Omaha dispatehes published bere. The understanding that sixteen lottercar- riers nstead of three were dropped from the rolls probaoly grew out of the fact that thero were sixteen new carriers appointed at the beginning of the fiscal year, July 1last. The local board of civil servico examiners at Omana reported to the Civil Service commis- sion about September 11 ast, if not during the early part of August, tnat Postmaster Clarkson in making this increase in carriers had violated the civil service law by refusing to appoint from the substitute or eligible list, and immediately the Civil Servico commis- sion entered into a vorrespondence with the postmaster general demanding that the alleged violation o the law ba rectified, and tho 1mpression gained a foothold that the ap- pointment of the entiro sixteen carriers were illegal, when in fact the Civil Service corumission, acting upon the roport of one of the members who made the investization at Omaha, reported there were only five illegal appointments, and that Pastmaster Clarkson could only be held respousible for making the appointmonts for five clerkships. "'ho examiners’ report. states that three of the clerks were apoointed from the list of special delivery messengers whose names had never been on’ the roster of cligibles for a pointment to place within the civil service classification, and that two of tue clerks were taken from civil life and had uever bad any experiance in postoftico work. The postmas- ter general at fist was inclined to tako the side of Postmaster Clarkson, but facts were presented to him last weel which made tgm order the dismissal of the five clerks a®l threo car- riers, Postmaster Clarkson has telegraphed Wanamaker to suspend the order for dis- al until ho can make an explanation, but the postmaster general does not believe there is anything to warrant the suspension of the order. He expects tho Omaha postmaster here any day now. ‘The roster in the oftioe of the superintendent of the freo delivery shows thatu the three carriers in question were appointed by a former postmaster in 1885, but the Civil Service commission holds Postmaster Clarkson responsivle. There is nothing in the oflice of the superintendent of free delivery now to show that thore has been an order for the difmissal of theso em- ployes, but the order has been issued by the postmaster general himself. ‘The question was discussed in tho post- offico today whether Postmaster Clarkson would have to take the salary of these eight clerks and carriers outof his own pocket and rofund it to the Postofiice department, since his action in appointing the five clerks aud retaining the three illegally appointed carriers has been repudiated by the depart- ment. The law is that where money 1s paid out by an innocent disbursing clerk the gov- ernment may loso the money but since Post- mastor Clarkson was both the appointive nower ana the disbursing officer it is neld that he acted in bis own light and full Kkuowledge of the law and circumstances, The fact that the appointments were received here and confirmed without question is not taken into consideration as 1t is held that as they were reported by Mr. Clarkson it was prima facie evidenco to the department that they wero legally appomnted and wero elig- ible. ~As the matter now stands Postmaster Clarkson is now acting on his own responsi- bility 1n keoping theso eight men on the rolls. WasnisatoN Bureav or Tie Bee, } Opening New Markets. Senator Paadock received a lottor this morning from W. S. Delano of northwestern Nevraska, who has been attending the uational farmers convention at Sedalia, Mo. He requests a broadening of the scope of the work now being done by the Agricultural departmer.t in introducing our corn by way of objest lessons in the way of its uses. Mr. Delano says the farmers everywhero are taking great interest in this work, and believe that it will ultimately lead to the creation of a market which will dispose of their surplus corn at_profits very satisfac- tory. Senator Paddock took the letier to Secretary Rusk this afternoon. The secretary stated that he himself was taking more intevest in this work now than ever before and requested Senator Pad- dock immediately upon the conveuing of ess to introduce a bill making an am- ppropriation and provisions for the gen- eral work of introducing our corn in Europe for consumption in their native forms. Senator Paddock will also introduce a bill making the sugar beet school at Lincoln, Neb., a large educatioual institution for in: struction in the preduction of sugar from beets and the culture of the raw material. The senator believes there are immense pos- sibilities for the beet sugar industry in this country. The senator is ucting upon suggestions containea in a_letter written to Secretary Rusk by James H. Can- field, chancellor at Lincoln, who sn oxperiments with sugar beets in th bave reached a point ut present where sugar and sugar manufacture secm to be upon a reasonubly assurcd foundation, As you are aware the university led in these experi- ments from the beginning and bhas contrib- ated steadily and to a very large degree to their success. We are about to select from the courses of study which we are at present able to offer, ' such Swork as will constitute a theoretical and technical training. To this we shall add whatever is necessary in the way of practical instruction, We expect to es- tablish here, provably the coming spring, a sugar school. For the nresent, for practical and experimewta! knowledge, we must send send our classes to the various sugar manu- factories in the state. Jt seems to me emi- nently necessary aod desirable that this suear school should be made as nearly per- fect as possible. To do this we need a model sugar factory located on the experimental form beloneing to the university and cou- nected with aud managed by the Uinted States experimental station. To erect this fuctory and equip it will probably cost no less than £50,000. The university, of course, 1s not able to mect this expense. 1 write to ask whether it will not be pos- sible to seoure, through the influence of your department, a congressional grant for this oxpress purpose. ‘There is no reas our own government should not do as other governments are doing in this respect. There is certainly no reason why this work should not be done here. Demands for this educa- tion are coming to us from all parts of this country and from some of the adjacent countries. Nowhere in this union has this work been done 8o successtully as here and probably nowhere eise could it be done so successfully. It is certainly directly in line of the work for which the experimental stations were establisbed and we feel fully warranted in bringiug this matter upon your immediate sttention. I shull be very glad to hear from you at your earliest convenience as it is quite necessary 10 know just what we may promise in this direction. I understand perfectly well, of course, that all that you can promise is the cordial co-operation of your department in & aemand of this nature made upon the con- vening of cougress. That will be sufficlent and all that we can ask.” BSecretary Husk says ho is in favor of this project and will act with Senator Paddock in securing an appropefation, President Hark san's Policy. Much favorable commient has been heard in congressional circlos upon President Har- rison's address on last Saturday on recelving tho new minister from Chill, It was to the very points at issuo, Such ocoasions aro generally fraught with a surfeit of gush and not a little inconsistency. They are usual dress parades where complimentary platl tudes and form only are heard or seen. Kuowing that President Harrison never courages any of these tho reception of Chili's minister was anticipated with a grent deal of interest here, and President Harrison’s words have been carefully read and digosted by those who may vet be called to roview the incident ~withl Chili on the floors ofcongress. The manner in which the president emphasized tho dotermin- ation of the Uuited States to let no tempting commercial opportunities interfere with her position for redress for wrongs pei- petrated on her citizens' and in protecting them and their property evervwnere, elicits the admiration of every patriotic individual and is endorsed by some of the most partisan democrats, The president’s torse remnder of how we refused the’ shipment from our shores to assist Balmacoda or arms to help the congressionalists, and the perfect neutrality this government has maintained in all of Chili's troubles are especially ponted out as strong poiuts of his address. Chili has learned from the works of Prosi- dent Harrison that thi§ country is not built upon the English plan and that although pa- tient, 1t is firm and will have justice at any cost. P. S H.

Wasnixaroy, D. C., Nov: 16.—The United States supreme conrt today granted the ap- plication for a writ of gertiorari to compel the circuit court to certify to the court the case of Lan Ow Ber, a Chinese merchant of Portland, Ore., who was refused admission upon returning from a short vist to China. The court, in an opipion by Chief Justice Fuller, says: “It wul be seen that the case volves the constructidn of the Chineso re- striction act and has mado identification of Chinese and other laborers, who were on- tirely excludea in the mode provided, the sole” evidenco of theif right to enter the United States. Manifestly the question in- volved as to whether theact should bo con- strued 1n view of the treaties is one of grav- ity and importance anc inyolves a mattor of international concern. 'Phe case it holds has no counection with the Clinese case hereto- fore decided and relled upon to excinde Bew for thereason that in that case the mau was a laborer and not o marchint. _The coutt 1s, therefore of the opinion tha&t suflictent grounas are shown for al writ of certiorari and that writ should bafjssued. 2 iy MONEY FOR POLITIGAL PURPOUSES. 1t is Unlawful to Collect it From Government Employes. WaAsSTINGTON, 16.—In the supreme court of the wistrict of Columbia today, & demurrer in the case of the Uuited States against Charles: Nowton, charged with a violation of the civil service act was overruled, and the case went to the criminal court for trial, Commissioner Thompson of the “ civil service commission was seen by an Associ- ated press reporter and questioned as to his views upor. the decision, He said that tho supreme_court of the Unitea States in the case of Newton M. Cutis, held that the law forbidding government employes to solicit or recewve from each other money for political purposes was constitutional, but the decision reudered today goes muoh farther, and holds that all solicitations for political purposes within government buildings are unlawful. This decision is a_complete vindication of tho course of the commissions, which endeavored to force 'the law and protect government_employes 'from forced nssess- ments, 1t is enurely satisfactoay to’ the commission, X anlalitas i FAULT OF THE AGENT. ptain Penny Dogs Not Fear Trouble with thegindians, Wasnixatoy, D. €., Nov. 16.—Acting In- dian Commissioner Ball has reccived the fol- lowing telegram, dated ‘November 14, from Captain Penny, acting Indian agent at Pine Ridge, Indian ageucy, 8.

TRAGIC SEQUEL TO A BANK FAILURE, He Could Not get of Consequences Which Had Antlcipated But Could Not Avert. Stand to Be the Tar- Ho Crevesse, Wyo., Nov. 16, —[Spocial Telo gram to Tue Bee,] —George L. Beard, cash- fer of the Cheyenne National bank, committed suicide here today by shooting himself through the head. Beard was 3) years of age. He came here about ten years ago from York, Pa.,, with John W. Collins, who was the cashier for Morton . Post & Co. When the Cheyenne National bank was established in January, 1850, Beard was appointed assist- ant cashier, Coilins, who organized the banlk, becoming cashior. Some time later Collins started the California National bank at San Diego and became president. About two vears ago he becamo presidont of the Cheyenne National sucseeding N. R. Davis, while F. B. Addows, now of Deunver, @ave way to Beard as cashier. Tho failure of the California National brought a run on the Cheyenne National and the latter was forced to succumb. The insuitution bad a great list of depositors, and Beard as cashier and practical head of the bank had to bear the brunt of the suspension, For several days he has been under a terrible mental strain and had slept little, if any, for three night. On all sides universal sympathy was exprossed for Beard and scores of people took occasion to wait on him and emphasize their continued confidence in him, Bank aminer Griffith arrived hero day morning from Omaha to assume the bank's affairs, He and Beard and the latter's attorney, A. C. Campbell, were together nearly all day. The offect of the strain on Beard was striking] rent in his face and after his interview with the bank examiner he seemod in much batter spirits, In the evening he took dinner at tho Cheyenno club, Shortly beforo 10 o'clock he started down town to his room, accompanied by John Harrington. The vank suspension was mentlonea only once, and then to express estoem for the cxam iner. Beard and Harrington parted at the stairwav leading the room of the former, who, that time, seemed in falrly good spirits and was mapping out pluns for his future, AtSo'clock Beard had an important en- gagement with Mr. Campbell. He knew the necessity of being on time. Mr. Camp- bell came down town at 8 o'clock and went av ouce to the bank. Beard was not there. Campbell went to his room and couldn’t get in. Ho then went to the Cheyenne club but no one had scen Beard that morning. Finally he broke down the bed room door. Beard was found lying on his back in bed with his head shghtly turned to the loft. His body was still warm. The lower part of his face was covered with clotted blood. His right hand lay on his breast and it was clasped a thirty-eight calibre revolver, I his head justubove and for- ward of his right ear was a hole an inch in diameter where the ball entered. The bullet passed through the brain, penetrated the skull on the opposite sidé and was found lodged just under the #kin. A gommittee of the Knights of Pythias at onco took charge of the remains which were removed to the undertaker’s for embalming. Subsequently they were placed in 8 casket and taken to the residence of Hon, E. S. N. Morgan. Telegrams were received from York asking that the romains ve forwarded as s00n as possible in response to which they will be shipped east at 6 o'clock tomorrow morning in charge of J, M. Jillich. The news of Beard’s suicide fell upon the people here like a horror. Nothing else has been talked or thought of. Just what led to 1t is impossible to ascertan, Itis generally believed that tho failure of the Cahfornia Nutional will involve the Cheyenne Nationa! to a greater extent than was at_first suspected.

Every kind of parliamen- tary trick was called 1nto requisition in the discussion of this grave quostion. The de- bate hinged on the 25 frauc duty adopted by the senate. M. Siegfreit opposed tho duty and ap pealed (o the chamber to draw distinctions, atall events, betweon American ham and bacon, The chaivman of the committee repliod that 225 franc duty would not prevent French workingmen from indulging their taste for American pork, while it would shghtly favor the native animal. M. Felix Pavre, member for Havre, advo- cated the abolitiou of all duties on the Amer- ican hog. He said that since the adoption of protectionism the number of hogs in France had been aiminished 1,000,000, On the other hand M. Borio spoke warmly in favor of prohibition. A motion embody- ing his views was proposed and rejected by 374 to 135, No whit discouraged by their repulse tha foes of tae American hog returned to the charge, and moved that pending the orgaui- zation of a thorough system of sanitary in- spection American pork should be exeluded from France, This motion was also thrown out by 370 to 134, Ono might have supposed that this vote would have endeda the debate. But how dogged French deputies can be. A third motion proposing the adoption of differen- tial duties on American ham and bacon was rojected by 873 to 160. Lastly a vote on the main issve was takon and by 377 to 120 it was agreed by the chum- ber to admit American hogs on paymout of a duty of 25 frans per 100 kilos.
