They Stand by Professor Briggs.

The directors OF the Union Theo-
logical Seminary have me. and have
declared their position on the question Of
the right Of the general assembly OF the
Presbyterian church to veto the transfer
OF Professor Charles A. Briggs from the
chair Of Hebrew to the chair Of Biblical
theology. Tho resolution passed at their
meeting Is rs follows
Res0tred, That the board OF directors
after having taken legal advice and after
due consideration, nee no reason 10 change
their views on tho subject OF the transfer
OF DIR. Briggs and feel bound In the dis
charge Of their duty under the charter aud
constitution OF tho seminary TO adhere TO
the same.
The intent Of the veto passed By the
general assembly at its recent sessions
in Detroit WINS that DIR. Briggs should
cease to DO professor In tho Union sem
mary. Tho effect Of the resolution given
above is that II Is the Judgment OF the
directors that the veto was usurpation
OF powers never given or intended to DO
given to tho general assembly, and that
since tho veto was illegal DIR. Briggs will
continue NJ professor during the coming
year As during the past seventeen years.

A MASSACRE IN AAyri.
Three Hundred Victims of President
Hypoiite's Vengeance.

Dispatches from Port au Prince
give details Of terrible slaughter Of
persons suspected Of aiding revolution
against the president.
The outbreak seems 70 have been pre-
cipitated by tho killing Of Ernest Rigaud,
the largest merchant Of Port au Prince, by
tho order Of President Hypolite. He
believed Higaud had arms concealed on
his pre- misss: Hypolite went to Rlgaud'a
house and Rigatd ordered him out. put
ting his hand on Rigaud's shoulder, the
president said:
"Coms with me-" They left the house
together, stepped out In the street In front
Of the waiting soldiers. Without another
word to Rigaud, Hypollte stepped aside
and gave orders to fire. Tho soldiers
raised their guns and fired volley into
the body Of the rich merchant He fell
dead in front Of his house.
Hypolite thought this would frighten the
friends Of Ligetime, but 1t aroused them
10 fury, and tho attack on tho prison and
release Of political prisoners 70 flowed in u
few hours.
Tho outbreak Of rebels occurred Thurs
day, May 2s. While President Hypolite
was attending church former cabinet
minister, at the head Of eighty followers,
well armed, stormed the prison and re-
leased 200 political and other prisoners
The released prisoners were provided
with arms and when Hypolite's troops
arrived on tho scene there was bloody
battle.
Hypolite remained In the church all day
guarded by soldiers. He called out the
reserve militia and the rebels were soon
routed. The leader OF the rebels, the
former cabinet minister, was captured and
shot at once. Thursday four of the rebels
had been captured and put TO death
Others were captured and shot Friday,
Saturday and Sunday. Every man sus-
pectsd Of being in sympathy with the
insurgents was put TO death without tria
Us soon Us captured. Most OF the 200
prisoners released from jail by the insur-
gents were recaptured and shot,
Saturday morning, May 10, nephew of
Ernest Rigaud called at President Hypo-
iite's house to ask about the killing Of his
uncle. Hypolitc ordered him shot He
was at once dragged to the street by
soldiers and shot to death.
About the same time Alexander Rossig-
mol, an inofrensiyc ana much esteemed
man, was executed in the streets; another
man was put up against the cathedral
wall and shot; seventeen were executed
in batch, and even at this date occasional
volleys tell that another poor wretch has
been sent to his doom. There is no fight
ing in the streets TO excuse this massacre;
avery execution is carried out in most
sold blooded way.
