THE BAKER BALLOT BILL AGAIN.
1t Is Reported to the Senate With the
Changes as Heretofore Given Out

HARRISBURG, May 2O.-After many delays,
and after being amended and reamended,
the Baker ballot bill was reported to the
Senate to-day. The final changes are prac-
tically those given in THE DISPATCH, with
the exception that the proposed clause sub
mitting the validity of certificates of
nomination to the State, city and county
committees of the respective parties was not
inserted, and these questions are to be de-
termined by the Auditor General, Attorney
General and Secretary of the Commonwealth,
in the case of State officers, and to county
commissioners and borough and township
auditors in the case of county and local
officers Three per cent of the highest total
vote is required for recognition as a political
party, and in the case of Independent nomi-
nations, at least one-half of per cent of the,
entire vote must sign nomination papers.
Under this provision it would require over
1000 signers to independent nomination
for a State office. The Baker bill fixed the
number at 1000 Certificates of nom-
ination and nomination papers for State
officers must be filed GO days before
election, for city and county nominations 40
days, and for borough and township officers
20 days. In the case of State nominations,
objections must be filed within 30 days after
filing; for cities and counties within 20, and
boroughs and townships within three days.

BRIGGS ON THE SCRIPTURES.
He Announces in a Lecture His Belief That
the Bible Is the Word of God.
ESPECIAL TELEGRAM TO THE DISPATCH.

ESPECIAL TELEGRAM TO THE DIsPATCHJ
NEW YORK, May 20.-"Bible Study" was the
subject of an address by Prof. Charles A.
Briggs, of Union Theological Seminary, to-
day, before the New York State Union Con-
gregational Association, in Plymouth
Church, Brooklyn. Prot. Briggs said among
other things:
1t may not be necessary for me to say
very distinctly that l believe that the Holy
Scriptures of the Old and New TestamentS
are the Word of God. That is the old
Puritan doctrine. 1t contains the only infal-
lible rule of faith and practice. That is the
belief 1 have always held and 1 expect
always to hold it. But there are different
interpretations of the phrase the Scriptures
are the Word of God. According to the six
teenth century divines and the dogmatic
divines of this century, they say in one place
another place the Bible contains the Word
of God. This is n distinction evidently the
Westminster divines did not mean to draw,
