The result was that there was nota bid. The amount of bonds to be issued ap- proximates £8,000,000, due in one, two, three and four years and bearing 8 per cent. The government guaranteeing tho payment of them makes them first-class investments and it was supposed the moneyed men in New York would jump at the opportunity to get hold of them. It was supposed that the snhortness of the life of the bonds would perhaps bring them down to par, but no lower. The representa- tives of the Indians, Messrs. Harris, Sipe, Star and Cunningham, went to New York to sce about the matter a week ago. The Wall street men saw them, but wese cold and showed no great greed to get hold of the bonds. Here itis understood that a com- bination has been made by the money men of that street to force down the price of the bonds. They seem willing to pay 95 cents on the dollar for the bonds. but do not want to go higher. In fact, they are determinea to “‘bear” the bonds. They say the reason they make no offers is because the Indians are sticking out for at least a par price, and that the amount required to take up the issue is s0 enormous that it cannot be readily raised unless there is a good profit in rais- ing it. They talk about the ticklish condition of affairs in money cireles and point to the fact that even in giit-cdged securities now money can hardly be had excopt on call. The In- dians will sell their bonds after awhile, but not before the money sharks sce how much they will stand in the way of a reduction of theirasked price for the bonds. Good Berths Vacant. A couple of good berths in the Agricultural department will be vacated July 1. Unfor- tunately, howvover, tho positions fall under the classified service, which will necessitate the holding of a special civil service examin- ation to fill them, The positions which will be opened on that date are librarian and assistant librarian of the Agricultural de- partment. The vacancies are caused by the resignations of the present incumbents. These vacancies pay $1,800 and $1,400 per annum respectively. = Secretary Morfon has requested the Civil Service commission to hold a special examination to fill the position of librarian at tho carliest possible date. The assistant's place will probably be filled by promotion. Wasnixarox Buneav or Tae Bee, } Army Orders.

When that hour arrived a number of the commit- tec and several treasury officials were in Secretary Carlisle’s room at the Treasury department. Not a single bid was made and the Cherokee Indian committee very plainly showed its disappointment, It appears that the president is unwilling to permit Senator Allison to terminate his services as a member of the internatjonal monetary conference in spito of the Sena- tor's oft expressed wish of so doing, and the senator may yet consent to serve, The Star suys: The president bas indi- cated that he will probably call congress togethier about the 1st of October instead of the middle of September as at first contem- plated, Had a Talk with the Comptroller, Wasimxaron, D.

Since last fall, when in certain European ports cholera be- came epidemic, the sanitary conditions have been improved and the greatest precautions known to medical science have been called intouse. The United States government, both at home and abroad, is observing all the known precautions to prevent its reach- ing here, and these efforts will be doubly increased now that cholera cases have ap- peared in Hamburg. 1t is not thought neces- sary at this stage to quarantine against any of the European points, but should cholera increase Secretary Carlisle,will not hesitate to do so. Dr. Wyman said today he felt no alarm on the subject, but was keeping the closest kind of watch on incoming steamers from cholera fected ports, el | T FATAL MILWAUKEE WRECK, Rapldly Moving Stock Train Leaves the Track on & Ourve, Stoux Ciry, Ia, May 81.—|Special Tele- gram to Tue Bee).—A disastrous wreck oc- curred on the Chicago, Milwaukee & St. Paul road a short distance north of this city last night A stock train running oforty miles an hour loft the track on a curve and piled the cars up in a heap.

BRIGGS LOSES HIS CASE Appeal from the New York Assembly Sus- tained by a Divided Majority. SCENES AS THE VOTING WAS IN PROGRESS Many Members Earnestly Advocate the Cause of the Doctor, but His Opponents Were Too Many—Elder Mardens All’s Viclous Attack, Wasniyeron, D. C., May 8L.—After the usual season of devotion this morning the Presbyterian general assembly proceeded to vote on the question of sustaining the appeal from the judgment of the New York presbytery acquitting Prof. Briges of heresy. Under call of the roll, with speeches limited to three minutes, each member rose as called and stated whether he voted for against entertaining the appeal and the reasons therefor. Asone after an- other of the members briefly indicated his position Dr. Briggs becamo weary of the talk, and asked and was granted permission to retive. The call of the presbyteries by states progressed as far as Kansas, when a recess was taken till 2:30 p. m. After recess the debate continued with the majority of the spoakers agalnst Dr. Briggs, though he found a number of warm supporters, the most notable one, perhaps, being a graduate of Union Theological seminary, James . Garvin, a missionary to Chili. The call of the synod of New York havirg been completed, Dr. Craig endeavored to in- duce the assembly to come to some amicable arrangement by unanimous consent to cut off the flood of debate, but was unable to secure the necessary co-operation and the calling of the roli was continued. Precipitated n Lively Scene. Elder Thomas McDougall of Cincinnati precipitated a lively scene on the floor, un- equaled in the course-of the trial, except when Dr. Briggs challenged the truthful- ness of a statement made by Dr. Duftield. Mr. MeDougall is an earnest, even radical, opponent of Dr. Briggs, and speaks with _an incisivo aggressiveness that easily evolkes antagonism, “If it be in order,” he began, “ina Presby- terian assembly in this high court, [ would like to ask if the omniscience and veracity, the character of God Almighty, of the Lord Jesus Christ, may be questioned? God Al- mighty h aid that Isaiah said thus and s0. Dr. Briggs has said to God Almighty that Isaiah did not write half the book thut bears his name. The Lord Jesus Christ said in the New Testament that Isaiah wrote the book bg’l\riug his name. Dr. Briggs says Dr. Henry Storrs—Mr. Moderator, T call the gentleman to order. Any man is enti- tled to be defended against attacks upon his character, Did Dr. Briggs say any such thing? Mr. McDougall—Why, Dr. Storrs, you will find 1t on page ——." Rev. H. Milton Shields of New Mexico— Is the statement quoted in Dr. Briggs’ in- g}lgurnli If not, it is not before the assem- y. This colloquy was carried on in the midst of great confusion, cries of order rising from all parts of the house, and the moderator and Mr. McDougall both trying to be heard. Dr. Craig-said that Mr. Dougall would show, or Iry to show that his statement was Justifiable, Mr. McDougall (to M Shields)—TIf Dr. Briggs will withdraw his statement, 7 will withdraw mine. Doclared it Blasphemy. Dr. Storrs—But Mr. McDougall says that Dr. Briggs said God was untruthful, which is blasphemy and unpardonable, Mr. MeDougall—1 said that Isaiah said thus and so in the New Testament, the Lord Jesus Christ said Ispiah said thus and so, and Dr, Briggs said that iah did not write that part of the book in which these quo- tations are found.
