THE COMMONS TO TAKE ACTION

by Passing "A Law Providing for a Close
Season-The Outlook Good for a Settle
ment of the Vexed Question by the
Two Nations Joining in Protection for
the Seals-War Vessels in Behring Sea
Canadian Sealers Not Pleased.
WASHINGTON CITY, May 29.-The Behr-
ing sea matter is rapidly approaching a
solution, and the indications now are that
Great Britain and the United States will
act in concert on the fisheries question. A
dispatch was received at the state depart
ment yesterday from Minister S4incoln at
London to the effect that Goschen had
given notice in the commons that to-day
he would introduce bill the provisions of
which would enable her majesty's govern
ment to prohibit the catching of seals in
the waters of Behring sea for a period
which would be specified in the bill. The
move made in parliament by the English
government is regarded in official circles
here as an evidence that Great Britain is
willing to accept, with a few modifica-
tons, the proposals of the United States
to join hands in preventing poaching in
Behring sea. The United States is willing
and anxious to stop it.
Comments of Secretary Poster.
There are now fifty vessels, mostly Cana
dian, in Behring sea, fitted cut and active
ly engaged in seal fishing The president.
SecIetary Tracy and Secretary Foster were
engaged most of the afternoon in discuss
ing the fisheries question. Il have been
talking little else than the seal question
during the past week, said Secretary Eos
ter, after be came from the conference at
the executive mansion. Il have been in
formed, he continued, "of the action of
the British government, and it looks as
though they would accept our PROPOSE
tlon>. Secretary Foster further said that
he was afI"iC that the British government
was little late in taking action. but if the
motion submitted by Goschen went
through parliament within week,
and vigorous warfare was made on poach-
erS, much good could still be done
4 Naval Patrol in the sea.
II Is stated that there are now in Behring
sea four British men-of-war. and that the
United States could send up in all about
five vessels. These uinc vessels could do
pretty effective police work in patrOlling
the SEA. which the seals use in their migra-
tory trips to the seal islands The area
now occupied by the poachers is estimated
al about 800 square miles. The fog in that
section Of the world Is represented by ma
val officers as very dense At this season of
the year, which makes the policing of the
sea most difficult. but which also operates
to prevent the podchers from sighting seals
at any considerable distance from their
ship. While all these obstacles are point
ed out. it i thought that the Joint patrol

would be the subject of an all-day debate,
and so it would have been had it not been
stopped by the dramatic death of Judge
Breckenridge Little attention was paid

matte points should be inquired into.
Was this the Kind of a man who should be
confirmed by even passive actiont He
claimed that DIR. Briggs and his friends
not being able TO understand and explain
that which appeared in the inaugural he
was an unsafe man to be confirmed. Keen,
cold, merciless as a surgeon, President
Patton dissected the theories of his antag
onists, pushing his blade To the bone at
every thrust. The same self-control the
same intellectually and grip which
marked his historic prosecution of Pro
fessor Swing, was in his great speech yes
terday forenoon.
Judge Breekenridge's Last speech.
Judge :. NJ. Breckenridge, of st. Louis,
said he had been urged 20 speak of the
legal phase of the question. Union sem
mary, IN 1870, had of its own will come
under the power of the assembly, so far rs
the disapproval of professors was con
cerned. The assembly had no right to ao-
prove. II had only the right to disap-
prove. If not exercised at the meeting
following election it was abrogated This
made the duty and right of assembly tie
under the law very clear. There was 10
power to delay action
Only Three Alternatives.
There were only three things that could
be done-either disapprove, do as the com
mttee had Gone, or refuse to disapprove

the directors because the proceedings were

DEFENSE OF THE ACCUSED.
Prof smith Refers to some Precedent.
for Briggs.
\ Defender of Briggs.

"A b'itiuef OF briggs.
Professor Henry Smith. of Lane Theo-
logical seminary, spoke first in defense
of DIR. Briggs. He said that it was
doubtful whether such an assembly j. able
10 judge OF other than doctrinal qualitica-
lions. DIR. Briggs was an able teacher,
spiritual, and pious The assembly ought
TO 20 slowly. The speaker laid the blame
FOR the whole trouble on the religious
press. which, after publishing a syllabus OF
the now famous inaugural. had condemned
It's author. DR. Briggs had published fou1
books of acknowledged weight-whv try
him bya syllabUss The~econd charge. that

Other Pre>hyterian~ Incredulous.
Professor Smith quoted John Owens. a
Westminster divine, to prove that at that
time they did not believe in the inerrancv
of the transmission Of scripture in very
different way from DR.. Briggs notion. He
instanced published views Of Professor
Narfeld, of Princeton. a. TO the last verses
of Mark. and some other passages which
az one time would have been considered an
attack upon the Bible. He quoted he
passages of the confession that pointed to
limited atonemeut and that about elect
infants, and said. the revision recently
recommended 10y Your committee woI.,d
not very long ago have been considered
rank heresy.'
An Attack on the Doctrine
He continued: The doctrine of the
Presbyterian church Is, that every minute
thirty human beings drop into the IN
speakable and unending tomorrow of
hell. ThinH Of this awful belief-vou
can't do it and keep out of the lunatic
asylum. think most of Us have a secret

An Advocacy of Expediency.
DIR. Dickie. of the board of directors OF
Union seminary which elected DR.. Briggs
to his place. was something of disap
pointment in his failure to back Briggs as
strongly as had been looked for. He said
he saw no sense in condemning him He
was an anti-Briggs man in the sense Of
deploring that inaugural address and
other utterances by DR.. Briggs The ques-
tion was what should be done in expedi-
ency, using the word in the sense in which
Paul used the word eXpedient.

What a Liberal Thinks.

Sir Edward Reed, prominent Liberal,
said last night that the government
seemed to be clearing its decks for ap-
preaching complications in Europe, and
evidently did not intend to have an Amer
lean quarrel on hand when European
troubles were threatening Gen. Allen
said that the Canadians might get better
terms now than later on. should England
become involved in a foreign war Gen.
Allen thought the best thing for the Cana
dams was to acquiesce in any course that
the government should deem best, no less
for their benefit than that of the Ameri-
