U Wind Up the Affair.
DE. BMITH LOBES ANOTHER SKIRMISH
JfEW York, Nov. 2& When the mem
bers of the Xew York Presbytery went
into session as a court in the old Scotch
Presbyterian Church soon after 2 o'clock
this afternoon they had expressed an almost
unanimous hope that when they adjonrned
the case of Prof. Charles A. Briggs, whom
they are trying on charges ot heresy, would
be a thing of the past Before the Moder
ator, Dr. John C. Bliss, called the body to
order the divines and elders had discussed
in little groups the subject and it was clear
that every effort to prolong and delav the
final passing upon the case by quibbling
and evasion on technical points would meet
the unsympathetic opposition of the jury.
The question of most immediate interest
was the line of procedure which Prot
Briggs would indicate in his first move.
The Nature or His Alleged Heresy.
The eight charges accuse Prof. Briggs of
teaching that reason is a fountain of divine
authority which may savingly enlighten
men, even those who reject the Scriptures as
the authoritative proclamation ot the will
of God, and those who reject the-mediation
of God; that a fountain of divine authority
apart from Scripture, savingly enlightens
men; that errors have existed in the origi
nal text ot the Holy Scriptures; that many
of the Old Testament predlctious have been
reversed by history, and that the great body
ot Messianic predictions has not ancLcannot
be fulfilled; that Moses is not the author of
the Pentateuch; that Isaiah is not the author
of half tbe books that bear his name; that
the processes of redemption extend to the
world to come in the case of many who die
in sin; that sanctification is not complete at
death.
Moderator Bliss announced that the ob
jection ot Dr. Briggs, and his expressed
purpose to carry his objections to the
Synod, should not be interpreted as obstruc
tions to the trial, but as an honest convic
tion. He also said he believed the Prose
cuting Committee equally conscientious,.
Dr. Briggs Keads His Demnrr-r.
At 3 o'clock Dr. Briggs began to read his
answer to the charges as amended. After
stating '-that he had no personal wish to de
lay the actual trial of the charge against
him on its strict merits, Dr. Briggs showed
that it was unnecessary for him to act as
his owe counsel, and in this capacity he had
no right to pass over technicalities or to al
low the Presbytery to establish dangerous
or illecal precedents. Dr. Briggs then made
his first demurrer to the trial, because the
charges put in his hands on November 9,
1892, were finally disposed of by dismissal
of the case against him on November 4,1891,
and that the Presbytery could not legally
cite him a second time to answer charges
vhlch thev had dismissed.
The second objection was to the order and
recularity of every proceeding in the Pres
bytery in any action taken against him since,
the dismissal ot the original charges in 1891.
He continued:
Bat It U not for me to advise tbe Presby
tery what course they Bhould pursue. I
hare done my duty in flllne these objec
tions. I have only this further word, that if
the Presbytery decide against me, I shall
proceed under protest, and with thereerva
tion or losral rlchts of scouring such redress
in the lupner courts as may eeem necessary.
He Objects to the New Charges.
In the second citation of his protest, Dr.
Briggs dealt with the irregularity ot the
amendments to the original charges. He
pointed out that amendments to charges by
law of the church are restricted to change
in form, and not to changes in substance.
He then said:
I object to the amended charges, that tbe
nature of tbe original charge's has been
changed. The orizinal charges called atten
tion to several doctrines taueht by me,
which, it was claimed, were In conflict with
the standaids. The only doctrine of the
Biandards with which conflict was alleged,
was "the cardinal doctrine," "that the
scriptures of tho Old and Xew Testament
aie the only infallible mlo of faith and
practice." The atnendedchargesaUcBe con
flict with, nine essential doctrines of the
Westminster standards, as follows:
First, that the Uoly Scripture is most nec
essary: second, that the Holy Scripture is
the rulo of laith and practice; third, that
the Holy Scripture is the word ot God writ
ten; fourth, that the Holy Scripture is im
mediately inspired; fifth, that God is true,
omniscient and uncbanseable; sixth, that
tho Holy Scripture evidences itself to De tbe
word of God by tho con went of all the parts;
seventh, that tbe infallible rule of interpre
tation of Scripture is the Scripture itself;
eUxhth.that the processes of redemption
arc limited to the vforld; ninth, that the
souls of believers are at their death at onco
made perfect in holiness.
Le in consider the last charge first. This
Introduces a new charge, namely, that my
teaohing conflicts with the essential doc
trine ''that the tools of believers are at their
Ueath at once made perfect in holiness."
Willing for Trial on the Eighth Count.
I waive my objection to it and I consent
to co to trial on the eighth of the present
charges. Charges one nnd two agree in al
leging conflict with the essential doctrine
of the Holy Scripture and of the standards,
That tne Holy Scripture is most necessary,
and tbe rulo of faitb and practice." The
original charge was limited to conflict witli
"the cardinal doctrine that tho Holy Scrip
ture is the mlo ot faith nnd practice."
lr these two charjres had limited them
selves to that essential doctrine, they would
be In proper form for trial; hut they lnsort
an additional essential doctrine, namely,
that "The Holy Scripture is mobtnecessary."
This changes the nature of the charge, and
you cannot legally allow it. It is my rlsht
to insist that this new charge be stricken
out. At the same time, I am entirely wining
to be tried on this charge as a separate
charge. If the Presbytery so desire. This
you may accomplish, either by breaking up
charges one ana two into two charges, or by
ruling that a vote shall be taken on oach of
the two items and charges one and two
separately.
l have the same objection to charge three.
Three offenses are nllezed In this charge,
namely: That my teachings are in conflict
with the ersontial doctrines; flrst, that "the
Holy Scripture is the word of God written;"
second, that "the Holy Scripture is imme
diately Inspired:" and third. that."the Holy
Scripture is the rule of faith and practice."
Only the flrst ofthe threo was in tbe original
specifications. The third was in the original
charge, of which that speclfioatloa;was a
part.
As to the Other Charges.
But the second Is an entirely new charge,
and on that account transcends the nature
ofthe original charge. 'Charges five and six
are open to more serious objection. They
are new charges, and, therefore, transcend
tbe nature of the original charges. Two
charges remain to be considered, namely,
four and seven. Charge seven is, also, a new
charge. I have another objection to charges
six and seven. They charge me with teach
ing doctrines which I have expressly dis
claimed. Mr. Laraper, of the Prosecuting Commit
tee, submitted an answer to Dr. Briggs' ob
jections. The speaker attempted to show
the falsity of the defendant's statement that
the'gene'ral nature of the charges was
changed In the amended report. He also
claimed that the changes that hid been
made were effected in tbe interest of con
eUeness and with the purpose ot meeting
the objeetioni raised by Dr. Brigji at his
previous trial.
A sensation was sprung by Dr. George
Alexander a moment after Mr. Laraper had
finished. The pastor ot the University
Place Chnreh moved, in consequence ofthe
objection made by the accused, that the
fourth and seventh charges ofthe amended
report be stricken out. The motionwas
seconded by Dr. Brown, ofthe Union Theo
logical Seminary.
A Dancerous Point Safely Passed.
Dr. Sutton immediately offered as an
amendment that the objections of Dr.
Briggs were not well taken. This brought
Dr. Vandyke to his feet He asserted
that the amendment was out of order, Inas
much as it was not pertinent to the motion.
At this juncture, Dr. Sutton began an argu
ment intended to show that Dr. Briggs had
never retracted the statement of his ad
dress, and that the two charges were,fonnd
ed on that address. He was interrupted by
Dr. John" E. Paxton, who shouted, "Give
ns a decision and stop his talking." '
Lawyer McCook, of the Prosecuting
Committee, restored quiet by proposing
that the consideration of the motion be
postponed till to-morrow. In the mean
time tbe committee would consider the ob
jection made by the defendant, and would
make whatever concessions it could con
sistent with the performance of its duty.
The herosv trial ot Prof. Henry P.Smith,
of Lane Theological Seminary, was re
sumed this morning by the Cincinnati
Presbytery in the First Presbyterian
Church, of Cincinnati. In the beginning.
Prof. Sproull gave notice of a protest
against the action of the Presbytery at the
last session, in Totlnc to sustain the first
charge and specifications as proper in form
and legal effect.
The Question Hinges on the Scriptures.1
He declared in his protest that the action
of the Presbytery was not only unwar
ranted by reason, but was contrary to
Christian brotherhood. The protest was
made part of the record. Debate Aral then
resumed on the sufficiency in form and legal
effect of the second charge and its specifica
tions. This is really the most important
of the three charges presented, as it in
volves the real question ot Prof. Smith's
teaching in regard to the inspiration of the
Bible.
The charge is that in a pamphlet entitled,
"Biblical Scholarship and Inspiration,"
Prof. Smith "taught, contrary to a funda
mental doctrine of the Word of God and
the Confession of Faitb, that the Holy
Spirit did not so control the inspired writ
ers in their composition ofthe Holy Script
ures as to make their utterances 'absolutely
truthful i. e., tree from error when inter
preted in their natural and intended sense.
The charge is sustained by 11 specifications
made "up ot assertions of what was taught
by Prot. Smith in his pamphlet, mainly
concerning the author of hronielei, or the
Psalms, and a portion ot Isaiah.
Prof. Smith loses Another Bound.
While the proper argument before the
court to-day was upon Prof. Smith's objec
tion to the sufficiency ol this charge and its
specifications as to form and legal effect,
the members of the court, almost without
exoeption, addressed themselves to the dis
cussion of the question whether Prof.
Smith's teaching was or was not contrary
to tbe fundamental doctrines ofthe church.
At the afternoon session the debate was
continued in tbe same strain for an honr or
more, and then a vote was taken by yeas
and nays upon sustaining the sufficiency of
the second charge in form and legal effect,
and resulted yeas, 44; nays, 17. The spec
ifications were voted on after being
amended by the Prosecuting Committee in
accordance to Prof. Smith's suggestions and
by his consent, and were then, with the
second charge, approved as a whole. The
third and last charge will, undoubtedly, be
approved without debate, and then the'trial
proper will begin.

IRELAND'S OHJJ HOPE,

Says Archbishop Walsh, Is the Adop
tion of Bi-Metullisni by
THE CONFERENCE AT BRUSSELS.
De Bothschild Presents Ills Scheme for
' Appreciating Silver.
DENMARK PROPOSES A COMMISSION
London, Nov. 28. Bimetallism has
found an advocate in Archbishop Walsh,
of Djiblln. In the course of an interview
regarding the distress prevailing in Ireland
the Arcliblshop declared that the adoption
of bl-toetallism is a matter of imperative
necessity to save the Irish tenants from in
evitable ruin. It is disheartening, the
Archbishop added, to find that no interest
seemed to be taken in tbe question by the
leaders of the Parliamentary party. It
things go on as they are even the excellent
land purchase scheme may become, before
many years are over, a source of wide
spread disaster to purchasers under it.
According to Archbishop Walsh's views
foreign competition is not at all the sole
cause of the ruinous fall in the prices of
agricultural products. The main cause, he
believes, is the continuous rise in the value
of cold.
"What a prospect it is," he added, "for
the Irish tenants, whose judicial rents are
fixecTfor 15 years, or for the tenants with
annual purchase payments extending over
49 years, that gold has risen 35 per cent in
value within the last 15 years, and must
oontlnue to appreciate if the present system
is maintained."
Boihschlld's Scheme to Appreciate Silver.
A dispatch from Brussels says: N. de
Rothschild's proposals were submitted to
the Monetary Conference this afternoon.
He argues that bl-metallism in Great
Britain is absolutely impossible, and sug
gests that the question arises whether it is
not possible to extend the use of silver gen
erally, and by this means assist in checking
a further fall in value. 51. de Bothschilds
said he did not claim that his proposals
would prove a final solution of the question,
but he did. claim that they would prove a
nalliative. Summed up. his prot.osals are
that" America should continue her present
mwUh of silver: the European powers
.should combine to buy an amou,nt equal to
5,000,000 for Jour years at a. it snver
should rise above that pr'ce, the purchases
are to be immediately suspended.
It U expected the proposals will be re
ferred to a committee. The Portuguese
delegates bave been instructed by their
Government to act in narraony wnu uie
British representatives. It is stated that
De Bothschild hopes to raise the legal
tender of silver in England from 2 to 5.
Great importance attaches to this proposal,
as It means that English 5 notes will be
payable in silver.
Denmark Proposes a Commission.
A Danish delegate, who is a monometal
lism will propose the coinage of silver 5
franc, shilling or SI pieces, rated to gold
according to the price of silver in the year
previous to the adoption of an international
agreement, with a seignorage of 10 per
cent. He will also propose the appoint
ment of "a permanent International Com
mission to fix the initial price.
Should the price vary, the ratio of values
will be changed. The coins will be legal
tender internationally, banks to keep them
aso, reserve against notes and to have the
right to demand gold in exchange for them
from the Government issuing the particular
coin held.- This scheme will be the subject
of lively communications between the
delegates, but it will not be formally pro
posed until the De Bothschild proposals are
debated. - -
Only a Single Standard Possible.
' " The document submitted by Alfred de
Bothschild said in part: , w
1 1 feci that a cold standard' in (England is
the only possible one, and if we consider
that her whole oommerce and a great part
nf that of other countries enrriod on by hills
of exchange on London, which are naturally
payable in gold, it must be admitted that
tho world generally transacts business
on n cold basts, and that a double
standard, with the exception of a very
modlfied'form, does not exist, even In those
countries professing to pay in either metal.
Whatever internal agreement should bo
made, andwhatever ratio should be estab
lished, gold alone will always be chosen as
the favorite medium of settling large debts
or making large remittances.
Apart from other considerations, it seems
to me that tho universal arrangement of
the currency question is Impossible. As tho
wealth, resources and expenditures of no
two countries are alllce it would be impossi
ble to carry on the trade of the vi orld on a
sound, stable business If the debtor is al
lowed the option of paying in whichever
currency suited him.
Although 1 hope that we have shown bi
metalisih is impos-ible in Encland, tho
question arises whether or not it is impos-sfble-to
oxtend tho use of silver, thereby
stopping a -further fall and its liastrons
consequences, whereof it is imposslblo to
foresee. I, theielore, submit the proposal,
not as an absolute lasting remedy, but as a
palliation. If the conference adjourns with
out haying accomplished any definite result,
it will cause a fall in silver frightful to con
template. It will cause a monetary panic,
of which it ii impossible to foretell the lar
spreading effects.

BANE ROBBERS GET $15,000.
They Dynamite a Safe to Smithereens and
Then Drive a Horse to Death.
Liberty, Ma, Nov, 28. Four cracks
men blew open the big safe ofthe First Na
tional Bank of this city yesterday morning
and secured $10,000. They used dynamite.
The burglars were scared away before they
got at the big vau!t,whlh contained (10,000
more in gold. They had dynamite and a
fuse attaohed to this.but fled without touch
ing it off. The robbery was discovered yes
terday afternoon when County Treasurer
Biter, who has an office In the building,
noticed that a terrible explosion had occur
red and that the building was caving in.
The heavy steel door was blown into such
small fragments that a good-sized piece of
it could not be found. On the floor of the
bank several sticks of dynamite were found.
Prom the bank the cracksmen went to J.
S. Steele's barn, stole a horse and carriage
and escaped. The men were traced to the
railroad bridge over tbe Mississippi river,
where the horse was' found in a living con
dition, haying been driven at a killing pace
for hours. The burglars were undoubtedly
four suspicious looking men, two of them
not over 22, who bought a large quantity of
putty just before dark. This was used with
the dynamite to deaden the sound. '

,A GRETNA GREEN IN PERIL
Competition Imong Matrimonial Bnnnera
Too Brisk for the Town's Good.
Indianapolis, Nov. 2a The claim of
Jeffersonville t the title of the Gretna
Green of Indiana has been placed in peril
by too stringent ordinances adopted for the
government of those who make it a busi
ness to render assistance to eloping couples.
The matter got into the courts this morn
ing, Jeff Hawkins 'and Will Adams, two
matrimonial runners, being placed on trial.
These men had approached an eloping"
couple from Kentucky, and were caught in
the act by Officer Gibb.
Some months ago the competition between
magistrates and their runners for eloping
marriages almost led to bloodshed, and the
city passed an ordinance prohibiting run
ners. The business, however, was carried
on on the sly until a few days ago, when
nine men tackled an unfortunate Kentucky
couple who came across in a hack, and in
their struggle to offer services In procuring
a marriage license the vehicle came near be-'
Ing upset by the mob. This led to the ar
rests, and nine more warrants are in the
hands of the police. The runners threaten,
if they are crowded, to establish quarters on
the Louisville side and run all the cloning
business to NewyAlbany, which would be
quite a loss to the County Clerk and to the
magistrates in Jeffersonville, as not less,
than 500 Kentucky couples get married
there every year.
