A Figlit Orer the Restriction of Minis terial Immigration. v HOME AXDFOREIGNMISSIOXSDISCUSSED EFECIAI. TELIGKAM TO THI DISPATCH. Detroit, May 27- The question of an ex hibit of the -work and progress of the Pres byterian Church at the World's Fair -was brought before the General Assembly to-day In a report detailing the plan. The exhibit Is to consist of statistics, maps, publications and a general religious museum. If the work goes on one person has agreed to bear the entire expense of the enterprise. The project was unanimously indorsed and the show will go on. The vital question of an Increase of mln ters was discussed. Dr. Xiccolls read the report, accompanied by resolutions, which Permanent Clerk Moore maintained en trenched on the rules and regulations of other assemblies. The Assembly has power to make rules and repeal or modify, as time and circumstances change, especially with regard to ministers coming from other bodies. Buttoscndanoverturedownto the presbvtenes on tho subject will establish two sets of rules and make conflict possible. Dr. Xiccolls said ministers were coming In at the rate of 93 a year and something must be done to regulate the business. He held the resolutions were sent to the presby teries, not as an overture, but simply as a rule, to get their opinion. A Cry for Restrictions. Stated Clerk Eoberts stickled for the con stitution, upon which he held the proposi tion was an infrlngment. It was an attempt of the General Assembly to override the Jurisdiction of the presbyteries. The paper should be considered and acted on as an overture. Dr. Xiccolls denied that there was any Infringmont on the original Juris diction of the presbyteries. The evil of un restricted immigration from foreign bodies must bo checked. The rule on this point was referred to the Committee on Church Policy. The cause of foreign mission was the lead ing order of tho day, and the report of the standing committee was read by the Chair man, Dr. Haydn, of Ohio. It was an excel lent summarv of the published report. It reported, amid the applause of the Assem bly, that the $83,000 debt of one month ago had been almost entirely annihilated. Young William Dulles, who had been a Phil adelphia lawyer for a season and is now Treasurer of the Board of Foreign Missions, made his maiden speech and captured the Ass-eniblv. He gave a detailed description of the ofice and field work of the board,, closing with a tender and eloquent perora tion which brought forth the loudest and longest applause yet given to any speaker by tho Assembly. Donations of the Church. Dr. Mitchell, Secretary of the Board, said the church had given $14,000 more to the cause last year than the year before. His address was a survey of the neld,particularly of China. At one of the medical stations in that land over 850,000 sufferers had been re lieved. Formerly tho missionaries were scowled at by the Chinese for coming among them to convert the great empire of Con fucius to Jesus Christ, but they were now known and respected. Dr. Mitchell said he had looked from the top of a pagoda in China, upon the homes of over 5,000,000 of people. He named dozens of cities in China, each with a population of over 100,000 and without a single missionary; all as easy of access as any city in America. The tlebtitution is appallingandunncssary. 1 1 was humiliating that only 200 ont of over 6,000 Prcsbjterinn ministers are foreign missionaries. One hundred new men ought to be put in China at once. To have only three men in all Western Siam is grotesque. A Plea for Brazil. Secretary Mitchell made the most power ful address on the subject yet heard by tho General Assembly. Dr. Lane, a medical mis sionary, spoke for Brazil, saying that there they taught the whole Bible and unrevisod catechism, and the flower of Brazil wag seeking admission to tho Presbyterian schools. Dr. Lane's school haa a net profit of 55,000 last year. Some of the members of the Brazilian Cabinet were his pupils 30 years ago, and were now sending him their children. Dr. Eddy, for 40 years a missionary In Syria, addressed the Assembly. It was de cided to hold simultaneous meetings for foreign missions the first week of Novem ber. Dr. Dickey presented a minute of con dolence on the death of Dr. Henry J. Van Dvke, paying a tribute to his character, which was filed with the papers of the As sembly. Fraternal resolutions "were sent to the Southern Pjosbyterian, Cumberland and United Presbyterian General Assemblies now in session. Dr. Dubbs, of the General Svnod of tho Reformed Church; the Eev. Mason Gallagher, from the General Council of the Beformed Episcopal Church, and Dr. Chamberlain, of the Presbyterian Church of Brazil, spoke as delegates from their bodies and Moderator Green happily responded, expressing his preference for denomina tional existence, yet advocating unity in es sentials and liberty in non-essentials: en dorsing the idea of lederal union and of pre senting an united front against the powers of darkness. Partial Report on Briggs. Dr. Bartlett, of Washington, presented the report of tho standing committee on church erection, saying they meant business this year and wanted $150,000 for the work of the year. Dr. Fatton at this point got the floor, and reported progress, and presented so much of the report as bore on the case of Dr. Briggs, that it might bo published, read and consid-' ered and taken up deliberately in the morn ing. He said the committee took no outside counsel or advice from men with precon ceived opinions and acted on their own best judgment, throwing the responsibility of their action on the Assembly. Only the overtures were mentioned which referred distinctly and by name to Dr. Briggs. All on the general subject of inspira tion should be handled by other committees. Sixty-three Presbyteries have Overtured the General Assembly with reference to the utterances of Dr. Briggs. Most of them ask the General Assembly simply to take such action as may be deemed best. The Fresby tries are to be commended for their Interest in the theological seminaries. The report then narrated the facts as to the founding of the Edward Robinson chair and the induc tion and inaugural address of Dr. Briggs. Xo Prejudice to Be Shown. The report canvassed the responsibility of the committee and the obligation of the com mittee to secure the protection of the good name of Dr. Briggs and avoid any action which might be construed as prejudging the case as it shall come before tne Presbytery of New Vork. A distinction was closely drawn between Dr. Briggs as a professor and Dr. Biiggs asaministcr amenable to the Xew York Presbytery. The action mie given as to tho power of the Assembly to veto an election, quoting from the action of the Union Theological Seminary and gi ing the interpretation as given by the Assembly, requiring that action to be ot any account shall be taken at the Assembly lof lowing the election. The committee would ha e been willing to refer the case to tho next Assembly, but such a course was out of the question, as then tho power of the As sembly would cease. Therefore the committee recommends that the Assembly disapprove the election of Dr. Briggs. Interpreting the Compact. But a meaning might bo given that would be misunderstood. The compact did not contemplate a distinction between an elec tion and a transfer, but such a distinction doe exist. The induction of Dr. Briggs into office before the Assembly had acted is doubtless owing to the way Union Seminary trustees Interpreted that compact. The resolutions wero that the Assembly disapprove the appointment by transfer of Dr. lirisgs and annoint a committee of 15. eight ministers and seven elders, to consult ith the Union Seminary trustees as to their relation to the Assembly and report to the next Assembly. The report was received with breathless attentionandthcresolutions were Immediately accepted as making a clear-cut issue, which must be faced. It is now understood that a square vote cannot bo avoided, The report was no surprUte, as It had been general! v anticipated. . There is no question but the vetowill be adopted; as oer 200 commissioners are al ready pledged to vote for the veto. Many aiesajmg Briggs must go, without looking to the consequences. The committee of con ference with the Union Seminary trustees is expected to handle tho consequences. The report entirely satisfies all tho anti-Briggs men. Dr. Bartlett's Big Hit. After the reception of the report Dr. Bart lett again took tho floor and brought down the house by saying: "We had expected the cause of church erection would create a great sensation, but we 'did not expect 'to have the Briggs case for a side-show." Sec retary White then made his customary ad dress and the resolutions were adopted serl atum. Secretary Dobson, of the Freedmen's Board, had the resolution removing the re striction Imposed by the last Assembly re moved, saying there should be no debate and the Assembly should vote immediately. The friends of Jr. Briggs now regard his case as hopeless, and a veto as a foregone conclusion. An eminent friend of thePro fessor and a high official of the Assembly said this morning that the case has been set up. The Assembly was composed with the assurance of a veto. VTh ore will be debate, but it will be useless. Most of the delegates look on the case now as does Dr. Baker, of Philadelphia, that it is simply a matter of opinion and j adgment as to whether they think Dr. Briggs a suitable man to teach young men in a Presbyterian theological seminary. They feci they can voto for the veto without raising any question as to his personal character or his orthodoxy. On tms line tne acmospnere is Doing maoo ciear and action -with undisturbed conscience easier. WATTING FOB THE COTJBT. The United Brethren All Over tho Country Interested in the Chambersbnrg Suit. SFXCXAI. TELEOBAM TO THE DISPATCH. Ckaxbeesbusg, May 27 The arguments in tbeUnitedBrethren Church equity suitwere completed to-day. Judge Lawrence, of Ohio, finished his speech for the Radical side last evening, having spoken a dayanda half. O. C. Bowers followed this morning with a second speech for the Radicals, and Judge Bowe occupied all of the afternoon with the closing arguments for tho Liberals. The papers handed to the court are vol uminous, comprising thousands of pages of testimony and lengthy briefs. Judge Stew art will hardly render his decision before three months. The attorneys on both sides agree that the case will decide the value of all the property in this State of the denomi nation, and likely control the decisions in the cases pending in other States. Statistics for Thinking People. The amount of property destroyed by fire in the United States in the year ending De cember, 1890, aggregated the sum of one hun dred and ten millions of doUars..S110,000,000. The insurance companies paid losses thereon to the amount of. $65,000,000. The amount of property destroyed by fire in the county of Allegheny during the same term aggregated the sum of one million two hundred and eighty-three thousand dol lars 51,283,000. The insurance companies contributed to the latter the sum of. $994,000. The aggregate of an insurance company's in comethe percentage of expenses to obtain the same and the percentage of losses deter mines largely the desirability of the com Eanr you may have selected to carry your re insurance for either the single term of a vear or the five-yearterm on your dwelling house or other building. The number and character of the fires and the expenses and losses incurred in the past naturally invite the question, "Can the insurance companies stand it?" Yes and no. The strong com panies may, but the weak companies can not The disastrous fires and consequent heavy losses of Troy and Boston, Chicago and Portland, St Johns and Seattle, whereby many companies failed and only paid a small percentage of their claims, compels thinking people to examine the secures they have.
