Committee Eeport V HE IS DECLARED A fllRETIC A Stabbirg Affray on Batter Creek Exportation of Gold, Etc, 'y-f At the Thursday afternoon ses sion, Dr. Craig convenedU'the as sembly aa a court to bear the jre port of the committee appointed to prepare- an explanatory . minute . of the Bnges case. 5 The Rev. Mr. Hoyt, chairman, called upon Dr. Baker, of the gue-committee sent to interview Professor Brigg to re port the result of the interview,. Dr. Baker, said Professor Briegs had slated it 'was his irrevocable determination to abide by the de clarations' made in his address be fore the assembly in his defense, and to continue to teach the doc trines there avowed, . At the re quest .of Dr. .Baker, ; Professor Bnggs gave mm an . autograph letter making such statement, whereupon Dr. Baker said r the committee took the action which Mr. Hoyt would now -report to the assembly. The. report, after re citing the proceedings in the case, proceeds: -, , . "This judicatory finds that said final judgment of the presbytery: of New York is erroneous, and is here by reversed. And this general as sembly finds that the appelh'e. Charles A. Briggs, uttered, taught and pronagated views, doctrines and teachings contrary to 'the es-.j sential doctrines of the Holy Scrip tures and standards of the Preshy terian church, and in violationjof the ordination-vows of said appeljte, which" said erroneous views and doctrines strike at the vitals of re ligion and have been industri ously spread. The committee does hereby recommend the suspension of Charles A. Briggs, said appellee from the office, of minister inV th Presbyterian church in the United States of America" until such Mini as he shall give satisfactory evi dence of repentance, to the general assembly, of the violation -? by :hiiQ of said ordination vows . as herein and heretofore found." : : i The report of, the committee' was adopted and a vore - of thanks given the members of the committee for their . services. The motion evokod afew hisses. ; ,.' In New York Dr. Briggs said the decision j of the general assembly would make no change in his re lations with Union Seminary. The professor and some of his friends intimated further that the action in Washington did not end the matter. " : Stabbing Affray. ' ' The Tribune of Tuesday says: A- J. Cummings of Butter Creek, in an altercation withone Joe Mc Laughlin last Sunday severely wounded the latter with a pocket knife, stabbing him in the abdo man, groin and back. During the difficulty between Cummings and McLaughlin, Walker Allen, the genial clerk of the Boston Store, who was on Butter Creek looking after his stock, sought to separate the parties and received an acci dental wound in the hip some three inches long from Cunsmings' Knife. It is thought that McLaughlin's wounds are fatal. Cumihingcame to town this morning along with Allen and was taken into custody by the sheriff on a telegram from the sheriff of Morrow County. It U said that McLaughlin ;is a much larger man than Cummings and he commenced the alteration by strik ing Cummings iu the face with his fist. Walker Allen is confined to his room. -.- His wound though pain ful and severe is not dangerous. Exportation of Gold. ' Since Jan. 1st $60,000,000 in gold have exported to Europe, and the export movement, instead of abating, seems to have received a fresh impetus. Most of this gold was taken from the United States treasury, and practically all that is now exported comes from the same source. In tbat time the treasury department has sustained a net loss of $25,354,243, the net total gold in the treasury Jan. 1st, 1893 having been - $121,206,662, while on Monday it was only $95, 912,419. The gold engaged for shipment Tuesday and Wednesday would leave it about $93,000,000, the lowest figure reached since the resumption of specie payments. In addition, there are reports that more will go out next Saturday, sufficient, it is said to reduce the gold holdings to $90,000,000. Des pite these - heavy shipments, the treasury officials express the great est confidence in the ability of the treasury to restore the gold bal- s ,-., WrwnThey yote. . It has been the ruling on every reservation, and ths same applies to the Umatilla, that the right of suffrage is granted the Indians bo soon as' their allotments . have heen approved and certificates issued to those entitled to hold land. , - -.' . The report of the allotment commissioners for this reservation has been approved, but the certifi cates h a ve not been issued, the wait being due to the fact .that certain evidence is desired by the department. The Indians t will undoubtedly become citizens and voters in time. to cast their bal lots at the June election next year; J ' ; . .., '; . :J. y- IThe East Oregonkn is informed that politicians may be fooled in 'poor Lo that he will not be so easily "worked" a might be im agined. Many of the Indians are said to have as pronounced ideas concerning ? politics as a most dyed-in-the-wool white partisan Republicans and democrats are about equally divided. . The Puyallup Indians cheer fully took ; boodle offered ' them and i voted as they pleased; our brown-skined fellow-citizens here are very apt to do the same. - The Animal Identified. Pendleton Tribune. The animal which was Killed near Weston and which was se cured and taxidermized by Joe V. Talltnan, after having under gone a rigid examination . by our citizens in i their endeavors to specify its species, has, without doubt, been proven to be a glutton, or wolverine. . The glutton is a carnivorous animal, belonging to the weasel family, but presenting a striking resemblance to the bear. In form it is not unliice the European badger. Its head is broad, eyes small, and it is said its vision is defective. Its fur consists of an undergrowth of short wooly hair, mixed with long straight hairs, to the abundance of which it owes its shaggy appearance. . The color of its fur is daik brown with a broad band a. of a light color stretching from the shoulders along each side of the body, ; the two meeting at the tail. -It is said that this .inimal is not more glut tonous than -are the- majority of carnivorous animals, and why it should bear ' the name is not known. One of its great propen sities is to steal and hide things, not merely for food, but articles which cannot possibly have any interest for it except that of curiosity..- . ' W Modern Baseball. Monntoutb Record. The match game of base ball participated in last Saturday by the girls against the boys of the public school, was an exceedingly interesting one. The game , was played scientifically and accord ing to the latest rules throughout. Both sides were neatly uniformed, the girls in white waists and black skirts to their knees, the boys in white and blue. More than two hundred from the town and Normal witnessed the game. The way in which the battery on the girls' side handled the ball was un usual, hardly a ball passing the catcher, Maud Hargrove, and the curved pitcher , Miss McGrew, caught several liners hot from the bat and made double plays with them. The boys worked ' hard and did all in their power to beat the game but all in vain. The cheers from the crowd in behalf of the feminine team, "rattled" the boys who were ahead until the; last two innings, and the girls succeeded in scoring one more run than the boys. , The score stood 35 to 36 in favor of the fair sex. The boys were beaten at their own game. 4 Foreigners In Congress. The next Congress will contain twenty -seven citizens of foreign birth. Ireland is in the lead with eight Clancy, Campbell.

' . v 'Picture frames made to prder Gillis Jsron, at SHOT HIS BROTHER. Mistakes Him for a Cougar and Fires Fis Gun. TWO IMPORTANT ELECTIONS. Spokane's Failure A JAfimarkable ., Child The Income Tax. - Harry Cupper, the oldest son of H. A. Cupper, of. Monument, was acc'idently shot and instantly kill ed "Wednesday afternoon by his brother, Fred Cupper. The facts concerning the sad affair, says the Long CreeK Eagle, are ; as follows: Wednesday afternoon the two broth era, each in possession - of a gun, started out to kill a cougar that has been committing depredations in the vicinity. The two boys separ ated in order that they weuid saake sure of securing the animal in case it was out of its lair on that after noon, and wandered about through the undergrowth, neither having any knowledgeof the others where abouts, t red, the younger of the two brothers, imagined he saw a wildcat or couar wandering slow ly on its accustomed trail through the brush or thicket. With direct aim, he fired, but instead of cap turing the much sought for sheep camp offender, his brother, Harry, fell a victim, dving almost instant ly. . ' " ' . Two Important Elections. .The only two elections of general importance this year will occur in Ohio and Iowa. Ohio eleots a Governor, important state officers and a legislature. Iowa the same, but ln4bat state the matter of send ing a senator to succeed Hon. James F. .Wilson' will devolve on the legis lature to be chosen in November, Gov. Boies ' is a candidate. He proposes to have himself "indicted" for the office by the state democratic convention, and to make a thorough canvass of the state to secure a leg islature favorable to his aspiration. The fieht will be hieblv interesting I Wilson deserves to succeed him elf. He is a man of ability, fairly popular with the, republicans,, amd both he and Cfov. Uoies have the trestiire of former success in their favor. In Ohio McKinley will I onds, and carry the republican standard; tho ' -democrats will probably pit aga5' the Governor, Lawrence-T, Nf man of great ability on the hu' popular, and well known ov; state. Last year's close p tial vote in Ohio, Gov. McT national reputation as apart' er and the stake he will pay ! political future will attract al and close attention to the eye contest. 1 In both the stai, parties may be relied on K hurculoan work and spend b of boodle. In some repef both, the election will be of more than mere local irapor for instance, McKinley sh; beaten in Ohio and Boies t the senate from Iowa, the c would be convinced that th licans are out of power? t long time; whereas, if candidates are succe would be, and justly vival of republican b cess in 1896. v , The Spokane The banK of, failed to open it ' morning.

President CI'; land is known to be in favor ot i and the leading journals of ihfj land are freely discussing the feat-4 urts and advantages. It is an - nounced that the president's plan is to levy on all incomes of over $5000, while he may vet conclud to favof all above $2000 and make the rate much less. All its pos sibilities and different cenocpUona are being carefully confide md by by him and other prominentstates men. It is now expected that a measure of this kind will pass the next congress because tha majority in both houses are known to favor the principle. Its chief tendency is to make those who are best able to pay their proportion for the sup port of the government, and to provide for a reduction of taxation which comes heavily on the wage earner and day laborer.
