his annual report TO the secretary of the

l2,OUO Mormons in the territory engaged in
agriculture and mining. The following

LOSS miles OF railway, making the total
valuation of taxable property in the terri
tory S2S,20O, 466 This amount, however,
the acting governor regards as entirely too
low. He is of the opinion that SO, 00O. 900

NEW YORK, Oct. 6.-The New York
Presbytery resumed it's work this morn
ing. After some routine work was dis
posed of Rev. A. Schiland, of the commit
tee appointed to answer DR.. Briggs pro-
test OF May II. arose and read his report DR..
Briggs interrupted him by asking in a
spirit of fair play that his protest first be
READ, because many who were now present
never heard it. 1t was read. In it Dr.
Briggs protested against the appointment
of the committee to prosecute him, for va
rious reasons, among them that he was not
given sufficient time to answer the charges
against him: and that advantage was taken
of his absence in Europe. Schiland then
read his report,
1t urges no charges had been presented
when the protest was made and no
thought Cf the protest necessarily enter
taintained. 1t was a committe of inquiry
only to consider the inaugural address
in its relation to the confession of faith
which was a subject of general criticism
and widespread dissent and of whose aD-
parent teaching q number of Presbyteriens
had already entered most emphatic pro-
test and adverse judgment. This commit
tee had to deal with MIR. Briggs not per-
sonally, but with the contents of the
address publicly and officially made by
him. If this address was misrepresented
or misunderstood, it was surely of great
concern to DR.. B iggs, but he wrote to the
committee even if he were in better health
he would not attend. DIR. Briggs certainly
gave assent to the correctness of the ad-
dress as published, although he protested.
sit would seem your committee was ap-
pointed to consider my inaugural address
and not to consider any explanation
of it l might desire to make. For this and
other reasons the committee decided the
action of the Presbytery was entirely
proper and according to the usage of the
denomination.
DR. Birch, chairman of the prosecution
committee, announced he was about to
serve DR.. Briggs with a copy of the indict-
ment, and by arrangement with the ac-
cused the trial was set for Wednesday.
November 4. The trial will be public in All
probability, although the manner of con-
Quoting the trial is yet to be decided.
The following committee on revision of the
confession of faith was appointed to report
at the November meeting Ministers Van
Dyke, Spenning, MarlIng, Kerr. Rossiter.
Forbes and Chaplin; Elders T. G. Strong
M. w. Dodd and e. w. Dodge.
