HARRISON TALKS
TO TIE METHODIsTS FROM ALL
PARTS or THE WORLD.
He is in Favor of Maintaining
Peace by Arbitra tion and is
Loudly Appiauded.

WASHINGTON, Oct. 17.-Rev. DIR. Will
Jams, ofthe Methodit church of Canada.
presided over the ecumenical council to-
day. Hon. Charles Foster, secretary of
the treasury, made a short address. The
announcement of Bishop Wayman, OF the
African M. p. church that the colored
churches had decided unanimously in favor
Of organic union was received with ap-
plause. The general topic today was 'War
and peace.
The first essay, international Arbitra-
ton, = was read by 7. Shape, of Liverpool.
While reading the address, President Har-
rison and Secretary Noble entered the
hall. Everybody in the church rose to
their feet and there was a burst of applause
as the president assembled the platform. He
was presented to the chairman, who in
turn introduced him to the assemblage.
Another burst of applause followed, and
when it died away the president stepped
forward and said: 81 came here This
morning to make an expression of my re-
spect and esteem for this great body of
delegates assembled from all countries Of
the world, and much more to give mani
greater body of Christian men and women
for whom you stand.
sEvery ecumenical conference is a dis
tinct step in the direction not only of the
unifcation of the church, but the unifca-
ton Of humanity. 1t is the natural order
that subdivisions should be wiped out be-
fore the grand divisions of the church can
be united. You have today as the theme
of discussion the subject international
Arbitration, and this being the public and
enlarged use of the word perhaps makes
my presence here as an officer of the
United States especially appropriate. (" Ap-
plause. The subject is one which has
long attracted my attention and I think
may say has as greatly attracted the inter

that of any other Christian power in the

DIR. HALL RESIGNS.

The resignation of DIR. John Hall
from the directorate of Union Theo-
logical Seminary is direct blow to the
wing of the Presbyterian Church that
is endeavoring to obstruct advanced
thought by the prosecution of DR..
Briggs on the charge of heresy.
DR.. Halls sympathy with DR.. Briggs
is said to be the first of long series of
shocks that tho Presbyterian Church
must suffer before the trial of DR..
Briggs is over.
The sympathy of such mon as DR..
Hall will strengthen the cause of tho
alleged hereto, and it was announced
long ago that the wealthy men of the
church threaten to withdraw their sup
port from Union Seminary unless DR..
Briggs is restored to his former rela-
tion. Notwithstanding the aggressive
opposition to his teachings, the church
seems to be about evenly divided on the
case.
Taking every thing into consideration.
Briggs is evidently on top.

The Republicans, he says, advertise
their meetings beforehand, have brass
bands, &C., and then can only get 200 or
800 people out to attend them. He was
greatly surprised at this, too, for the
"lying papers" had SO distorted the facts
that he had expected to see immense
crowds. Jerry said that in his best
judgment Campbell will be elected
governor. The revolution against pro-
lection began in Ohio last year, he said,
