Western MethodIsm.

WASHINGTON, D. c.. October 10-At the
Msthodist ecumenical council Rev. Bishop
Charles Il. Fowler. of San Franciso, read an
essay on the present status of Methodism
in the western (ADerican) section. The
present status of American Methodism, he
said was the result of unnumbered forces of
heart and BRAIN, tide and tempest, of climate
and temperature, of transit and eclipse

growth on this soil. and in this free state,

caroIina Cotton soheme.

CHAE1EsroS, S. c.. October "A conven-
ton of planters of Sea Island cotton in this
state is called for the purpose of organizing
a combine against the sale of cotton seed.
The object is to effect a combination by
which the Georgia, Florida and Egyptian
growers of the long staple cotton will be de-
prived of Carolina seed. It Is believed that
the outside world is dependent upon the use
of the Carolina seed for the quality of its
staple, and If 1t can be prevented from OBJ
tanning the seed the quality of the staple will
deteriorate so rapidly that the Sea island
planters of South Carolina will practically
control the fine cotton market of the world.

posit when he knew the bank of which

Viction.
A new trial was secured and the case
transferred to this county and took
place at the last term of court. The
jury failed to agree but it is said stood

tai. Hence this trial now is watched
with considerable interest. Sprague

state and Mr.. Hessln, leading lawyer
at Manhattan assisted by Judge Mar

defendant.

Trial of DR.. Briggs.

NEW YoRK, October Tho New York
presbytery of the Presbyterian church, at its
opening session, received the report of its
committee on the prosecution of DR.. Briggs
for heresy.
The report formulates but one charge, as
follows:
Charge The Presbyterian church of the
United States of America charges the Rev.
Charles A. Briggs, beng a minister of the
Presbyterian church and a member of the
presbytery of New York, with teaching doc
trines which conflict ire Oncilably with, and
are contrary to the cardinal doctrines taught
in Holy Scripture and contained in the
standards of the Presbyterian church, that
scriptures, Old and New Testamonts, are the
only infalhble rule of faith and practice.
The theological errors, striking at the vltals
of religion and contrary to the regulation
and practice of the Presbyterian church,
were promulgated IN an original address
which DIR. Briggs delivered at the Union The
ologcal seminary IN New York, January 20.
1891, on the occasion of the introduction of
Edward Robinson to the chair of Biblical
theology; which address, with DIR. Briggs
approval, has been published and extensively
circulated and republished in a second edi-
