DIR. BRIGGS TRANSFER.
The Union Seminary Disputes the Genera
Assembly's Right to Veto It.

The Union Seminary Disputes the General
Assenbly's Right to Veto 1t.
The directors Of the Union Theological Semi
nary Of New York have met and have declared
their position on the question of the right Of
the general assembly OF the Presbyterian
church to veto the transfer Of Prof. Charles A.
Briggs from the chair of Hebrew to the chair
of biblical theology. The resolution passed at
their meeting held yesterday afternoon is as
follows:
Resolved, That the board Of directors, after
having taken legal advice and after due con-
sideration, see no reason to change their views
on the subject Of the transfer of DR.. Briggs,
and feel bound, in the discharge Of their duties
under the charter and constitution of the semi
nary, to adhere to the same
The intent Of the veto passed by the general
assembly at its recent sessions in Detroit was
that DR.. Briggs should cease to be a professor
in Union Seminary. The effect Of the resolu-
ton adopted is that it is the judgment Of the
directors that the veto was a usurpation never
granted nor intended to be given to the general
assembly, and that, since the veto was illegal,
the appointment stands and DIR. Briggs will
continue as professor during the coming year
as during the past seventeen years.
The meeting Of the board Of directors was
very full, only three members being absent out
which the resolution was adopted was practi-
cally unanimous, one vote only being cast in
opposition.
The directors have thus only defined their
position in the matter of the veto and the
right Of the general assembly to exercise it in
the case Of transfer from one professionally
to another. The broader question is left in
abeyance-whether the general assembly has
any right to veto original appointments in
Union Seminary, and whether the board of
dtranf lny ,aad IN fxht
the assembly had any legal power to divest
themselves Of their duties and responsibilities
in the appointment Of new professors. Both
of these matters will have to come up when
the assembiys conference committee shall
arrive.
This committee was appointed under the
following resolution: THAT q committee, con-
sisting Of eight ministers and seven ruling
elders, be appointed by the assembly to con-
fer with the directors of Union Seminary IN re-
gard to the relations of the said seminary to
the general assembly, and to report to the
next general assembly"

Trial Of Hughes for Extortion.

The case Of James Hughes, the labor leader
on trial at Rochester, N. Y, for extortion. was
given to the jury yesterday. Justice Rumsey
in his charge was especially explicit in declar-
ing that labor organizations may not legally try
to compel employers to accept any arrange
ment in regard to the employment Of appren-
tees or other such matters; that il any such
agreement be made between the parties il must
