i Martin. Troy, N. Y. accused handed the statement to the Brooklyn Eagle, and In the specification there is no fact which constituteG an offense on the part of this accused or any other person. The specification is founded on a statement that on the trial before the Judicial committee no one charged me with immorality.

I meant that, in my opinion, the testimony did not amount to a charge of immorality. That was my opinion. As as American citizen I am entitled to hold an opinion. The specification does not charge that the statement was a fatee one. 1 was a 5 honest as a man could be.

Immorality was not charged or proveJ. I reaffirm to day exactly what I said. Before the accused could be found guilty it must be proved that he, knowingly and willingly, designed to utter a false statement." Mr. Dawson said that the charge was untruthfulness, and reading from the Book of Discipline he said the words quoted were peculiarly strong. "If there is no evidence of immorality against him we judge him by his acts.

Mr. Burrell said that immorality consisted in two things, adultery and anything that, is wrong. "It would not be wise," he said, "to press a specification that contains an ambiguity of that kind. If adultery is not proved, who Is to decide what the specific act of Immorality was?" Mr. Williamson said there was enough in the specifications to show what the act was, and Dr.

Gregg contended all unchaste words or acts were a violation of the seventh commandment and the testimony abundantly showed that that, commandment had been violated by Dr. Moment. The Rev. W. H.

Ingersoll asked if Dr. Moment was a member of the Presbytery and if Immanuel Church was in the Presbytery, and being answered affirmatively he moved that the objection be overruled and it was carried unanimously. Speaking to the third objection Dr. Moment said: "There is no authority vested In this Presbytery by the Book of Discipline or any of the forms of the church to make the demand in the order. This Presbytery has no jurisdiction over the alleged contumacy, in not.

returning the call to the Immanuel Church. A call to a minister by a church, which is placed in his hands and which he accepts, is a contract between him anil the church and is his property. This the Presbytery cannot disturb. Such an order is in the nature of an additional penalty and is against the Constitution of the United States and against the Constitution of the State of New York. To require the accused to return a call when it Is not claimed that the call was not duly put into the hands of the accused is an injustice.

Under such ruling it Is competent to demand that any other minister In this Presbytery shall return his call. I had a right to preach in Immanuel Church and the order of the Presbytery and Judicial committee were against the Constitution." Mr. Williamson said that the pastoral relation between Dr. Moment and Immanuel Church was never constituted, and that call was not complete until after Installation. "The Presbytery," said Mr.

Williamson, "has a right to say who shall preach In Its churches. There is no contract. The Presbytery has a right to adjudicate its own laws. The objection was overruled and then Dr. Moment spoke to the other objection that, contrary to the Book of Dlscipllpe, section 19, it was not shown who was the party making the accusation and that the charges were not signed by tho Presbytery.

Stated Clerk Wells showed that they were signed "Stated Clerk of the Presbytery of Brooklyn," and this objection was overruled. It was then determined that the charges and specifications were sufficient to put accused on his defense, and he was asked to plead nnd pleaded not. guilty, as stated above. An official stenographer was provided for. Dr.

Moment asked for delay. He said it had been impossible for him to get a copy of the testimony, for which he had frequently asked. He asked for the privilege of filing other objections after he had read the testimony, but it was ruled that this could not be done. A copy of the testimony was handed to Dr. Moment by Mr.

Ferris. It was voted that the trial should go on at 1 o'clock on Monday next. While waiting for Dr. Moment to appear some routine business was transacted, with the Rev. F.

II. Wilson, who was the moderator preceding the Rev. Thomas W. Campbell, in the chair. The Rev.

T. lierry offered prayer, invoking God's guidance in the performance of the specific and trying business before the Presbytery. The committee of visitation to the Franklin Avenue Church, appointed at the last meeting of Presbytery to look Into flairs there on account of the disagreement between the session of the church and a faction who defended K. II. Wiisrn, superintendent of the Sunday school, in his action in regard to producing play called "The Ulster," reported that, the committee sustained' the "session fully In all its acts, and that there was no action needed on th port of the Presbytery.

The committee recommended that the disaffected ones study thes" things which make for peace and right usnoRS. The Rev. John Krskine Adams of the Ross Street Church was thainaan of tl committee. taQne of the Oceanic's Officers looked Up on Charge of Being Disorderly. Louis Ditzberg, 36 years old, who said he was' second officer' oa the steamer Oceanic of the White Star Line, now moored at the foot of Christopher street, Manhattan, was arraigned' before Magistrate" Voorhees this morning in the Coney Island court on a charge of disorderly conduct.

He pleaded not guilty and the case was adjourned until Thursday ifflorniag for a further hearing. Ditzberg was highly indignant when arrested and was hu miliated when he was locked up in a cell. He was arrested by a policeman attached 'to a precinct in East New York, who was enjoying a day off at Coney Island with his wife and family. The cop said that he and his family were seated in a chowder pavilion at foot of one of the walks when he ob senved Ditzberg acting in a disorderly manner. He watched him a few moments and when his actions warranted it he placed him under arrest.

Ditzberg cried when arrested and when arraigned this morning pleaded with the judge to let him go. "1 will sail on Wednesday, your honor," he said, "and am willing to pay anything to get. out of this matter. I admit being under the pavilion, but did not act in a disorderly mariner. I simply went there to get out of the sun.

My ship sails to morrow, sir, and I will go with it." "If, you are found guilty of this charge," said the magistrate, "you will not sail in 'many'months. I will hold you bail."

Fresh Outburst of Dislike for Czarina Will Probably Follow Her Latest Accouchement. St. Petersburg, June 18 The Czarina gave birth to a daughter this morning. The child will be named Anastasia. Such of the Russians as have always looked upon the Empress as a foreigner, and have had their dislike lo her intensified every time the Czar's family has been Increased, because the infant was not a boy, will probably now launch forth in some more abuse of the beautirtil, good and lovely woman who Is the wife of their ruler.

Nicholas II, who is 33 years old, and Princess Alexandra Alix, daughter of Ludwig IV, Grand Duke of Hesse, born 1S7X were married November 2(5, 15,91. They have now four children, all girls, a fact which disturbs speculation as to the future ruler of the Rus sias in case of the death of the present Emperor, whose health has been often spoken of as not of the best. Tho first three children are Olga. born November 15, 18H5; Tatlana. born June 10.

and Marie, born June 26, 180fi. The last child will be named Anastasia. The heir apparent to the throne, Nicholas, II dying without male issue, is Grand Duke Michael, brother of the Cznr. His elder brother George died in Alexander 111 was a devout Greek Catholic and for that reason was not. friendly to certain members of his family who had deserted the Orthodox Church of Russia.

Ho was entirely under the influence of the bigoted procurator of the Holy Syuod, Pobie donostseff. and he Issued a uknse barring from the succession lo the throne any grand duke who is not or whose consort, is not a member of the Russian Orthodox Church, and likewise the issue of any such match. This bars out Grand Duke Vladimir, eldest uncle of Nicholas II, whose wife is a Lutheran, and Grand Duke Cyril, their son. who visited this country in lMV.t. The elder duke and the duchess are most, unfriendly to the United States, ami pro German in all Russian politics.

The duchess was one of Bismarck's most unscrupulous agents in Europe. Alexander III also decreed that no woman should ascend the throne as lens as there were male heirs, which makes it Impossible for the daughters or the wo sisters of Nicholas II and their children to he considered in the line of succession. But it. is also within the right nnd power of the absolute monarch of Russia, any to. natfle his own successor.

Grand Duke Michael Nirolnievtt.cn. the great uncle of Nicholas II. has been confounded in some of the press dispatches with Grand Duke Michael, the younger brother of the Czar. The legitimate children of Alexander III, the father of Nicholas II, were as follows: Nicholas, born May fi, 1SB8; George, born April 27, 1871: born November 22, 1878: the Grand Duchess Nenin. horn March and Olga, horn June 1.

Prince George Yourov.ski an illegitimate son of Alexander III and not entitled by law c.r decree to succeed to the throne. Grand Duke Gfnrge died of consumption in I' Grand Duke Mirhael hiia been In England for some time, unmarried, and Is member of the Russian Orthodox Church. Grand Duke Michael N'tcolalevitch. groat uncle Nicholas 11, is a grand, noble, an soldier and loved by tho people. He would be a formidable andidate for the throne In case of the death of his great nephew, Grand Duke Michael, brother of Nloholan It.

FOR RECIPROCITY TREATY. Their Efforts to Have Tariff Reduced on Their Sugar to Be Strongly Opposed. BEET SUGAR MEN HEREAR0USED Why 16 Inch Gun Will Not Be Exhibited at Buffalo Senator Scott and Presidential Candidates. Eagle Bureau, 60S Fourteenth Street. Washington, June 18 The Cubans have opened headquarters in this city and begun their campaign for the negotiation a reciprocity treaty between the United States and Cuba that will admit Cuban sugars to this country at a reduced tariff.

The opponents of. the scheme to reduce the tariff on Cuban sugar, represented by the best sugar interests of the United States, are also on the ground and are working hard to kill off reciprocity talk. Dr. V. de Abad, representing the combined Economic and Commercial Associations of Cuba, arrived in this city yesterday.

He expects to remain until Congress meets, and will devote his time to developing sentiment here favorable to the adoption of a reciprocity trade treaty. It looks at this time as though the matter would boll down to a fight between the Cuban interests and the beet sugar people, with the Sugar Trust taking no part in the battle. The beet sugar representatives have taken alarm at the prospect of the ad mission of the sugar of Cuba at a reduced tariff, and they are gathering their forces to check this scheme. Senator Allison gave a hearing the other day to several beet BUgar men, and asked them what they would expect from Congress in the way of further protec tion. The men replied that they wanted to be taken care of, just as the tin plate and other industries had, and that ten years' additional aid from a high tariff on sugars would be about right.

They said that it was originally estimated that fifteen years would be neceB sary to put the Industry so firmly on its feet that it could stand thereafter without federal aid. Five years had passed, but little benefit was got out of these years of the high tariff, and that ten years more were needed. Senator Allison was told in emphatic language that to admit Cuba's sugars at a reduction of 20 or 25 per cent, in the existing tariff would thoroughly ruin the beet sugar industry of tne united states. mere is a growing impression here that demands will be acceded to and that next winter a reciprocity treaty will be sub mitted to the Senate and ratified. The powerful American Interests that have allied them selves with Cuba's development will throw tneir vast influences in favor of a trade treaty, and these and other strong business reasons, together witli the sentimental factor, will doubtless wiu the day for Cuba.

The plan at this time is to demand preferential rates of duty for both sugar and tobacco, but those on the inside say that when the matter has progressed to the point where concessions are to be made, the Cubans will be well satisfied to get a reduced tariff for their sugars and let tobacco alone. The treaty will provide that the sugar to be admitted at a reduced tariff must be raw and unrefined. This will secure the non interference in the fight of the Sugar Trust, as Its factories here will do the bulk of the refining work for the Cuban imports. The strong argument will be advanced that this government is required by all rules of Justice to make concessions to Cuba, in view of the fact that the latter has lost the market There are many desirable things that Cuba can offer in return. It is quite certain that one of the first acts of the new Cuban government will be to revise her tariff law.

The tariff schedules drafted by former Superintendent of the Census Porter are still in force in Cuba. They were drafted with a special view to benefiting American exporters and the great proportion of Cuba's foreign purchases come from this country. Should Cuba desire to do so, she could raise the tariffs on certain articles that now come almost exclusively from the United States. On the other hand, she could give special rateB on a large array of commodities that would enable our manufacturers to wholly control the market for them in Cuba. It is pointed out that it will be necessary to secure a special reduction on cotton goods if we are to furnish Cuba's supply of this staple.

A reciprocity treaty between the Island and this country would result in clinching for our manufacturers Cuba's trade in bread stuffs, canned goods, refined sugars, ready made clothing, Jewelry, etc. There are very few factories in Cuba, Spain shaping her policy so as to discourage the erection of manufacturing plants, preferring to sell the finished products to her people in Cuba. Henry Oxnard, formerly a Brooklynite, will spend the greater part of the coming winter in Washington, fighting the proposed reciprocity treaty. For some years back he has represented the beet sugar Interests here and has done effective work in preventing the adoption of reciprocity arrangements with the West Indies that promised to threaten the beet sugar growers of the West. He will summon all his influences this winter to work against the Cuban treaty.

Before the Senate Committee on Foreign Relations this spring, when the reciprocity treaties were being considered by that body, Mr. Oxnard stated that there were between J15.0OO.OO0 and $25,000,000 Invested In the beet sugar industry in this country. He is Bure to assert that this industry will be ruined by admitting Cuban Bugars with a. reduction of 20 or 25 per cent. Members of Congrefs have frequently mar velled at the tremendous power and influence of the beet sugar industry.

They allege that the industry has not been phenomenally that, despite the aid of a high tariff, state bounties and the vigorous help of the Department of Agriculture and various agricultural societies, 'it has given no promise of ever furnishing all the sugar the country needed. It Is a matter of record that during one of the hearings last winter Senator Bacon of Georgia asked Mr. Oxnard where the beet sugar interest got Its great influence that enabled it to control legislation so thoroughly, Mr. Oxnard responded that many millions of dollars and thousands of laborers were represented in the industry. These who have looked into the matter say that with a slight reduction in our duty, Cuba can supply all the sugar consumed by the United States in five years.

At the present time Germany and" the Dutcn East Indies furnish the bulk of our raw sugar. We Import about $100,000,000 worth of this commodity every year. Formerly a large part of it came from Cuba, but since the Spanish wnr we have been buying about $25,000,000 worth year from the Dutch East Indies. The product of those Islands Is of a very low grade, however, and is vastly inferior to the output of Cuba.

tIon of 0pneraI Bt. flngtor. chief the ordnance dcpar.ment. In deciding what kind of mount shall be built for the weapon. This gun has been under construction for the past five years, yet the chief of ordnance has not' yet made up his mind whether is more desirable to provide a disappearing carriage for it or to mcunt it in turret.

Six months will be required to build a suitable mount and. despite the fact that it has been advertised that tho monster rifle would be exhibited at Buffalo, General Buftlngton has yet to determine how the cun Is to bo mounted. It is stated at the War Department that there is no lack of money to embarrass the construction and that entire responsibility for the progress made In completing the gun rests with General Bufflngton. There is a bare possibility that visitors to the Buffalo show may yet see the monster weapon. A scheme has been suggested of building skids for it.

The final steel hoops have not been put on yet. They have been delayed until General Bufflngton made up his mind about the kind of mount he wanted. The department has decided where the 16 inch rifle is to be established and has selected Fort Lafayette, New York Harbor; as the site. It will completely sweep the channel leading to. the Narrows and will be a very powerful addition to the defenses of the harbor.

It was the original intention of the War Department to build forty of these 16 inch guns, to be mounted as follows: Eighteen at New York, ten at San Francisco, eight at Boston and four at Hampton Roads. The chances are that no more will be manufactured, the leading ordnance experts having decided that smaller guns were more effective. Major James M. Ingnlls of the Fifth Artillery ha3 made some interesting theoretical calculations of what might be accomplished with a 16 inch gun. He has figured the range of this weapon to be 20.978 miles.

He also prepared a firing table for the gun which shows that the above range is obtainable with a muzzle velocity of 2,300 feet per second with the necessary angle of elevation of the piece. The trajectory of the projectile shows that In traveling the 20.978 miles the shell would reach the maximum elevation of 30,516 feet, or almost six miles. This is enormously greater than the maximum range hitherto obtained by any other gun, which at present stands to the credit of a Krupp 9.45 Inch gun which was fired on the Meppan range in the presence of the Emperor of Germany, In April, 1892. The measured range was found to be about twelve and a half miles. The height reached by the Krupp shell in Its flight was 21,456 feet, and the time occupied between the firing of the 70.2 seconds.

A scientific computation of the performance of a shell from the 16 inch gun easily surpasses this. If such a projectile i gun and the striking or tne projectile was were to be fired at the Battery, New York City, it would land far beyond New Rochellc on the north, and Hastings on the Hudson would be In range also. At' the extreme height of the trajectory of such a shell, a point would be reached equal to the combined height of Mount Blanc and Pike's Peak. Senator Scott of West Virginia, who managed the eaBtern campaign for President Mc Klnley last fall, says that there are plenty Scott Says of available candidates There Are Plenty for the Republican nomination In 1904. To of Candidates, the Eagle correspondent to day Senator Scott said, "It is too early to talk seriously of any one man winning the nomination to succeed McKinley, as any number of things may happen between now and 190 1 to completely change the political outlook.

There Is no single Republican who appears to have the nomination clinched at this time. But there are plenty of good men: Hanna, Roosevelt, Fairbanks, Spooner, Lodge and a host of others are available." A. B. A. RECEPTION TO DR.

There was a larger attendance than has been seen at the Presbytery in many a day. There was some doubt as to whether the accused would appear, and the time dragged heavily. A little after 3:30 Dr. Moment walked into the meeting and took a front seat. The case was presented by the Rev.

J. G. Williamson, chairman of the prosecuting committee. Dr. Moment filed his objections and was called uPn t0 PIead' the ReM' Warren H.

Wilson, who had been elected vice moderator for the purpose of presiding over the trial in the ab sence of Moderator Campbell, who is ill, asked: "How do you plead, Dr. Moment?" "Not guilty," said the accused in a firm voice. After the stated clerk, the Rev. Newell Woolsey Wells, had said that the charges had been served and the witnesses had been cited, the charges and specifications were read. They are as follows: Charge 1 That the above defendant, while a member of the Presbyterian Church and of the Presbytery of Brooklyn, has been guilty of untruthfulness.

Specification 2 Disobedience and refusal to obey the order of the Presbytery of Brooklyn through Its Judicial commission not to preach In Immamiel Church. Dr. Moment had carefully typewritten objections to each of the charges and specifications, and he read them slowly and carefully. His general objection was as follows: "The accused In the above entitled proceeding hereby respectfully objects to the regularity of the organization of the Presbytery of Brooklyn as a court, and to which jurisdiction herein in accordance with section 22 of the Book of Discipline on the ground that it does not appear that the said adjudicatory has complied with the provision contained in section of said book, and asks that the charges herein be dismissed as irregularly brought and entertained by tho said Presbytery as aforesaid." In slow and measured tones the accused read this: "The Rev. Alfred H.

Moment, the accused in the above entitled proceeding, respectfully objects, in accordance with section 22 of the Book of Discipline: "First That the intended specification of fact under charge 1 Is not a specification of fact within the meaning of section 1" of the Book of Discipline, and that the said specification is insufficient in form and legal effect upon the face thereof; that the Presbytery of Brooklyn has no Jurisdiction over the alleged offense therein Intended to be specified; and "Second Further objects, in accordance with said section 22. that the said Presbytery "had no power to make the order referred to In specification 1 of charge 2, disohedlunce to which is specified, as constituting the alleged net of contumacy; and that the said Presbytery has no jurisdiction over the said alleged act of contumacy or the alleged disobedience specified in the said specification. "Third That the said specification is insuffl elent in legal effect upon the face thereof: that no offense within the meaning of the Book of Discipline is therein specified; and he further objects as follows: That the judicial commission referred to in specification 2 of said charge 2 had no power to make the order therein referred to. disobedience to which is specified as constituting the alleged act of contumacy, and that said Presbytery has no jurisdiction to try the alleged act of contumacy therein Intended to he specified "Fourth And he further objects to the charges and specifications as a whole, that It does not appear therefrom, as required by section IS of the Book of Discipline, who is the party making the said charge against, tho said accused, and that the citation Is not signed in the name of the Presbytery bv the moderator or clerk, and that the same Is charged under." After each objection had been read. Dr.

Moment read carefully prepared defense of It, it having been previously vote, on motion of Mr. Williamson, that the objections should be later taken up seriatim. Dr. Moment said: "Section of Book of Discipline provides that In all of prose cutlon private conferences should be held, with the view of settling the difficulty as quicLiy iuwjuiu uuti in oroer to nvoirj an actual process. No one ever made an effort to confer with me.

Joseph Dunn Hurrcll moved that the objection be UiUuined.

"Or. Moment," he said, "Is entitled to his rights. It would not be right to go on with this rase, with the statement made that no effort has been made to confer with the accused. If that Is the law." The Rev. John P.
