IMMENSE CROWD IN ATTENDANCE
The 105th Annual Session of the Presby
tery Begun in New York City
Minor Mention.
Washington, May 18. The Presby
terian general assembly met in its 105th
annual session in new York-avenue
church this morn
ing. The church
was unable to con
tain the throng
which wished to
witness the pro
ceedings. Among
the noticeable fea
tures in the assem
bly was Rev.. Dr.
Briggs, of the Union
theological semi
nary, whose hear
ing on questions touching his orthodoxy
will again come up at this session, and
Rev. Henrv Preserved Smith, of the Lane
theological semi
nary, recently con
victed of heresy by
the Cincinnati pres
bytery, and whose
case has gone on an
appeal to the synod
of Ohio. At 11
o'clock Rev. Dr. W.
C. Young, modera
tor, took a seat on
the platform, ac
ompanied bv the
secretaries and clerks. Alter singing,
reading the scriptures and prayer, Dr.
Young delivered the annual sermon.
After the announcements, a recess was
taken until 3 p.m.
The Chinese Feel Better.
San Francisco, May 18. A local pa
per says a reporter visitea tne omces 01
the Six Companies and the consul
yesterday, and was surprised to find
that the gloom of last Monday, caused
by the news of the United States su
preme court decision, wap not only dis
pelled, but that even a degree of cheer
fulness bordering upon mockery had
taken its place. That the Chinese are
laughing at us is the true explanation
of the situation at present. They boldly
say they will get rid of their sick and
useless Chinese at the expense of the
United States, and will keep their well
and healthy men and women, and yet
obey the Geary act in the spirit and let
ter. Li, the consul, sent one telegram
yesterday to China which cost upward
of $200, and in addition sent numerous
cipher messages to Washington. He
was not only in ood humor but even
jolly, and it is only possible that there
is another ' "nigger in the woodpile"
that the Mongolians expect to produce
when necessary. Certain it is that they
intend to give the people of the United
States all the trouble possible without
violating a single clause in the Geary
act. They will furnish Chinese enough
for deportation to use up every cent of
the $70,000 appropriation for the depor
tation of the Celestials, and it is more
than probable that the subjects for de
portation furnished will need an im
mense amount of care and be in such a
condition that no steamship company
will consent to recieve them as passen
gers. Once in the hands of the United
States officers, the Chinese will abso
lutelv refuse to have anything more to
do with their sick and maimed, and will
lay the burden of their care and safety
upon the people.
A Presbyterian Surprise.
Cincinnati. Mav 17. A surprise will
be sprung upon the Presbyterian gen
eral assembly to meet in Washington
At the breakfast tendered Dr. Roberts,
the deposed Briggsite, professor at Lane
university, yesterday, 80 letters ad
dressed to Him from prominent Presby
terian divines all over the country were
suppressed. It is said these letters
urged the professor to be a candidate for
moderator, thus precipitating the Briggs
fight at the very opening of the assem
bly. Dated With the World.
Jeffeksonville, Ind., May 19. Spe
cial. The pardon and release of Don
aid Cheek from the penitenitary here,
after serving 23 years of a life sentence,
recalls a murder, mob violence and des
perate resistance bordering on the mar
velous.
Briefly the record of his life is this
When 27 vears old. in a fit of anger he
killed his father-in-law, Mr. Harrison
a distant relative of ex-President Harri
BRiCGS
son, on Sept. 12, when he voluntarily
surrendered himself to the authorities
at Lawrenceburg, Ind.
He was twice condemmed to death
and finally sentenced to life imprison
ment at the Jeffersonville prison from
where he was pardoned. Twice a mob
surrounded the prison where he was
confined at Lawrenceburg and after he
was condemmed to death a third mob
broke into the prison and tore open bis
cell.
Here he did a remarkable thing. He
broke his bed and with the leg of it
felled the leader of the mob, took his
pistol and firing into the crowd drove it
panic stricken out of the jail. He then
calmly delivered the pistol to the war
den and returned to his cell. He has
always been a trusty, and never in all
bis prison life was known to break a
promise made. In a talk with a reporter
and speaking of his freedom he said the
strangest thing about it all was the big
ness of everything.
"For 23 years I have seen nothing but
prison walls, where I could take in the
whole scene at a glance. When I got
outside and looked about, my eyes felt
as if they would fly out of my head, and
my head felt as if it was swelling and
getting bigger. For days I had a fear
ful headache over my. eyes, as if they
were trying to rise in my head.
I "have all but suffered death. The
awful sensation of not being able to
make plans for the future. At times I
would forget and go to thinking what I
would do when I got out of jail, and
then like the deadening blow of a hot
sledgehammer on my brain would come
the awful thought that I would never
get out. I have practically been dead
and am now born again. I am dazed
with everything."
Chinese Deported from Tacoma.
Tacoma, Waeh., May 18. The United
States' commissioner released three
Chinese, captured here while en route
to Portland. The commissioner said the
only law -they were violating was the
Geary law. Two Chinese, claiming to
be merchants at Portland, who came on
the steamer Victoria and taken off here
on writs of habeas corpus, were today
ordered deported. An appeal will be
taken to the United States court.
Blondin, the Strong Man. Dead.
Saeanac Lake, N. Y., May 18. One
of the feats performed by Blondin, the
strong man with Cole's circus, was hold
ing together two strong horses pulling in
opposite directions. Last night two
horses unaccustomed to the performance
were tried. They reared and plunged,
and Blondin, in endeavoring to hold
them; burst a blood vessel and died soon
after.
High Water In the Cesar d'Alene.
Wallace, Idaho, May 18. The Coeur
d'Alene river is higher than ever known
before. Railroad tracks are badly
washed out. No trains today. Some
damage is done in Burke and Gem.
Little damage has been done in Wallace.
Tonight will be cold and the river will
lower tomorrow.
Damage to Railroads.
Pittsburg May 18. It is estimated
that the damage sustained by railroads
in the flooded districts of Ohio and
Pennsylvania is over $1,000,000. Rail
way communication is generally cut off
in these districts owing to the washout
of bridges and culverts, and submerg
ence of the track.
Blver Rises Rapidly.
Spokane, Mav 18. The rain of Tues
day evening cut the snow in the mount
ains more than warm sunshine would
have done, and the river had risen
seven inches in the 12 hours before 7
o'clock yesterday morning. It kept
rising steadily all day yesterday.

Washington, May 19. Special The

AEWSOUUTELY PURE
Mohican's Officers Think Annexation tm
Not to Be Had.
Tacoma, May 18. The United States
steamship Mohican arrived in Port
Townsend from Honolulu. The officers
say the appoint
ment of Blount to
succeed Stevens aa
minister has given
the annexationists
a severe set-back.
The royalists are
gaining strength by
the attitude of
Blount. It is now
considered improba
ble that annexation will be made during
the present administration. Since
Blount's arrival Stevens has been com
pletely snubbed and ignored, bis advice
or counsel not being taken on any sub
ject. The Mohican's officers confirm the
statement that Mills, private secretary
to Blount, is engaged to the sister of the
rich Chinese, Marie Ah Fong, whose
sister is to marry Commander Whitney
of the United States steamship Alli
ance. The Mohican completes the
American fleet that will do duty in
Behring sea the coming season.
VKI1V STRONG WORDS.
Pennoyer Demands the Impeachment of
President Cleveland.
Governor Pennoyer, speaking to a
Portland reporter in relation to the
president's attitude toward the Geary
law, said :
"There can be no doubt whatever that
a complete registration of the Chinese
would have been had if Mr. Cleveland
had informed the Chinese minister that
he would have obeyed his oath of office
by a strict enforcement of the law. In
stead of doing so, be entered into a col
lusion with him to disregard the law.
The resultiis the time for registration is
past, and under the law the great bulk
of the Chinese are subject to deporta
tion. "For this state of affairs, Mr. Cleve
land is alone responsible. Perhaps the
claim may be made before congress that
this wholesale deportation would be in a
measure unjust, that the Chinese were
misled by their minister and by the
president, and that the law should be
changed, giving them another chance to
register. But there will be a still more
important question before congress when
it convenes. It is a question involving
the very stability of our government. A
president of the United States for the
first time in our country's history has
dared to violate his sacred oath of office,
by refusing to enforce a law of congress.
"If this high crime is permitted to
pass unrebuked, the end of constitu
tional liberty is close at hand. The
great question, therefore, whether we
are to remain a republtc, or become an
imperial government, will be decided by
the next congress. If no rebuke is given
to the president, his action will become
a precedent for others and liberty will
become lost. If, however, congress will
do as it ought to do, impeach and re
move him from office for his grave of
fense, the wholesome lesson will stand
for ages yet to come, a notable warning
against the repetition of so grave a
crime."
John I.eggat Succeeds Dimond.
Washington, May 18. The announce
ment of the appointment of W. H. Di
mond to be superintendent of the Uni
ted States mint at San Francisco was
incorrect. He is the present incumbent,
and has tendered his resignation. His
successor was appointed this morning
by the president, in the person of John
Leggatt of California.

Topeka, Kan., May 17. The assistant

agent of the company, special or other
wise, must reside in the state.
