IT IS PROFESSOR" BRIGGS.
The Directors of the Union Theological
Seminary Stand to Their Position
Formerly Taken.

New YORK, June 5.-The directors of the
Union theological seminary have met and
declared their position on the question of
the right of the general assembly of the
Presbyterian church to vote 10 transfer
Professor Charles \. Briggs from the chair
of Hebrew to, the chair of Biblical theology.
The resolution passed at the meeting held
this afternoon is as follows:
Resolved. that the board of directors,
after having taken legal advice. and after
due consideration, see no reason TO change
their views on the subject of the transfer
of Dr. Briggs, and feel bound, in the dis
charge of their dutie; under the charter
and constitution of the seminary. to adhere
to the same.
The intent of the veto passed by the gen
erai assembly at its recent session in De-
troit was that DR.. Briggs should cease TO
be professor in the Union seminary The
effect of the resolution given above is that
II IS the judgennt of the direc-
tors that the veto was a UsuITpation
of powers never given or intended to be
given to the general assembly and that
since the veto was illegal the appointment
stands, and DIR. Briggs will continue as pro-
fessor during the coming year as during
the past seventeen years.

this issue will be of more than ordinary in
tereSt. Mr.. Finley correctly says that a
practical knowledge of the various kinds of
storms known to the United States should
be one of the subjects Of instruction in our
public schools. Very true. But it should
not be forgotten that many things learned
in our schools have TO be unlearned through
public discussions through the press. The
accumulated results of discussions through
the public press are the truest educator. for
there everything is taken before the bar of
reason, and only that which can withstand
the most scathing criticisms is permitted 10
implant itself in the public mind. This is
not the case in our schools. Our teachers
see it to be their duty to follow the dictates
of their text books without questioning
their correctness.
There is no question of greater importance
before the human race than that OF the
cause Of motion in our atmosphere. To dis
cover the real cause means that we may
soon be able to know long in advance the
coming changes in the weather and this
would benefit mankind to Il greater extent

continue our researches on the old theory

WASHINGTON June At is the general
belief about the navy department that the
diplomatic career of Frederick Doug
lass at Port au Prince is rapidly draw
ing to close. 1t is known that
the report of Admiral Gherardi brought
to Washington in regard TO the condition of
affairs in Hayti is far from complimentary
to Douglass. and made il even more apparent
than it had been before that the affairs of
the United States were in very poor hands.
One of the chief faults found with
Douglass is that he seems to have
considered himself the representative of
the negro race. rather than of the United
States. 1t is this very weakness of the
minister. however. that constitutes his
of1ice-holding strength. for the negroes
have already complained of being neglected
by President Harrison in the distribution
OF offices. If Que of the few men
of that race to whom. ne
has given conspicuous appointments, and
that one man who has posed for years as a
representative negro, should be turned out
there would be much criticism CT the ad-
ministration among colored politicians.
Douglass has been granted leave of absence
by the state department, with permission
to visit the United States. The application
for leave was granted about ten days or
two weeks ago, and is for the customary
sixty days 1t is expected that Douglass
