presbytcry, believe that he conf
IDENTIFY expects an acquittel.
There is one possibility of which l
havo not spoken. When the judicatory
meets on November 4, Or. Briggs may
talse exception to the charges or may
allege some error ID tho preliminary
proceeding. In that event the judica-
tory, II it thinks his point well taken,
may throw the case ont of court, and
then it will have to be done all over
agsin.
The Briggs controversy has not pro-
duccd any very noticeable effcct upon
the Union theological seminary. There
will be a few more students this year
than last, though the entering class 10
q little smaller. The senior class Is the
largest that was ever In the seminary,
and there arc more graduate students
than formerly. The feeling among the
students Is strongly Ia favor Of DR..
Briggs. and this Is especially true OF the
upper class mon.
Apparently the Union seminary has
littlc to fear from the general assem-
bly,. They can DO no more than boy
colt u.s." said professor to me few
days ago. Thcir relatios.s, briefly
stated, are as follows: When the new
and old school parties Of the church
united in 1870, . concession was looked
for from the Union seminary, which
had been since it, foundation entirely
independent. At this timo Princeton
college WAS under tho control of tho
| general assembly, 90 that her professors
were appointed by that body. In order
TO relieve her and the others of the
older seminaries from certain restric-
tions, the directors Of the Union semi
nary agreed that II more freedom was
| accorded the others. the Union would
| consent TO make an annual report ia
the general assembly. and give It the
veto power on appointments. ThA
| directors since the present controversy
sross hsve been advised by counsel
that this agreement ives not valid
ooptrsck bscauso there was no con
alteration. and THO ssssmely's veto
power coald not be maintained BY law

It 10 said that when men are needed
in Southern Europe for piece OF work
that requires particularly hard labor. il
is necessary TO import the laborsrs from
those countries where . meat diet il
the common fare, the high price Of
meat in France and Italy making il
impossible Tor the poor laboring man to
indulge himself in the use OF il. But
with the admission of the American
hog and other meats in Eunpexn
markets, the difficulty will be obviated
IN large degree. Now Germany le;s
American in at duty amounting
TO S4.76 per 30 pounds. The Frenca
Chamber of Deputies passed = bill TO
the same effect At its last season, put
ting . duty of 20 francs, or $3.s6, on 22O
pounds. The Senate has agreed TO
abolish the restriction on the importa-
ton Of American meats, but wishes 10
raise the tariff proposed by the Cham
Der of Deputies TO t4.s2A per go pounds.
Lately Italy has rescInded decree OF
the same character. Some Of these
laws against the importation of Amcri.
can meats were passed q dozen year:
ago. The Cleveland administration
worked hard at getting the DEGREES re.
pealed, but nothing came Of it. AL
Of the work that has been accomplished cd
has been done by the present cflicien,
administration in less than three years
The value of the market it opens up te
the American farmer and stock raiser
can be estimated.

be discharged By Rev. DR.. j. G. Bliss,
of tao washington Heights Presby-
terian church. He via elected at the
meeting OF the presbysery on October ..
and was not opposed. His views upon
