 Theological Students.
 CARLISLE, Pa, April 16,-The Carlisle Presbytery has taken a decided stand fol the old faith and against Dr. Briggs. The Rev. Dr. George s. Chambers of the Pin Street Presbyterian Church, Harrisburg, introduced two resolutions. The first eX presses the respectful protest of the Pres bytery against the utterance of Prof. Briggs on the occasion of his induction into the Edward Robinson Chair of Bibli. cal Theology in the Union Theological Seminary, as at variance with the formu, lated belief of the Presbyterian Church respecting the supremacy and infallibility of Holy Scripture, and as being particu- larly important in indicating the line along which instruction will be given to theological students. The second requests the General Assembly, which will meet in Detroit next month, to take such action as will counteract these harmful utter ances.

An Exciting Scene in the House of
 Commons.
 LONDON, April 16.-A most exciting scene took place in the House of Com mons last night. MT. Healy arose and made a verbal attack on Mir. Parnell, as- serting that the latter, who had just spoken, was not a representative for Cork city.
 This caused a great sensation. The McCarthyites cheered wildly. Mir. Healy dared Mir Parnell to resign his seat as he had promised to do, and the, Parnellites shook their fists in the faces of the Me Carthyites.

THE interest in the conversion to the Catholic faith of George Parsons Latin rop and his wife, Rose Hawthorne Latin rop, is widespread, as both are authors of international reputation. Mrs Latin rop, as our readers know, is the daugh- ter of Nathaniel Hawthorne. Every one remembers the attraction to the Catholic faith manifested by Hawthorne in the "Marble Faun," when he wrote: "There was room for all nations; there was access to the divine grace for eve. y christian soul; there was an ear for what the overburdened heart might have to murmur, speak in what native tongue it would." Those famous pas sages from the fathers pen, helped, in cidentally, to guide the daughter into the full light of the Catholic faith. We have in literary history a parallel case for Hawthorne and his daughter in Sir Walter Scott and his sympathy with Catholicity, and the subsequent conver- sion of his daughter, the wife of Scott $ biographer.

IN our lit.le dispute with Italy a nice question arises. The right to a speedy, impartial and public trial in the state where the action arises Is guaranteed before judgment can be pronounced To constitute crime malice must be proven, guilty intent shown. \ guilty intent is demonstrated by deliberation, and the act of sudden impulse is not reduced to this state of mind. Now comes the irrascible Signor d Arco and demands of the federal government the immediate condemnation of the leaders in the New Orleans mob, and reparation for the injury. How is this to be done. Suppose the federal government com mitted itself to an agreement to indem- nifty the families of murdered Italians. Suppose also that the Mafia eXtcrmina- tors were acquitted-and there is great probability that they wiIl,if ever tried what then? Would the national govern ment become liable for an otfense, proven not to have been committed mala in SC?

EXECUTIVE OFFICE,

To the County Commissioners and Jus-
tices of the Peace ofNorth Carolina:
GENTLEMEN Il feel that it is to the
interest of each county in the state to be
fully and completely represented at the
Southern Inter-States Exposition to be
held in this city during October and No
vember 1891. The exhibits sent to the
expos ion in this city will be preserved
and used at Chicago in 1893 and in this
way the counties making exhibits get
the advantage of showing the attrac-
tions they have to offer capitalists,
manufacturers and home-seekers at the
two great expositions. | will be glad to
see the justices of the peace, in each
county of the state make such appro-
priations as will insure a complete ex-
hibit OF the woods, minerals, agricultural
products, fruits, vegetable and manu-
tactured articles of all kind, and such
other things as will show to the world
what grand state we live in. The
Southern Interstate Exposition will be
visited by many thousand people, and it
certainly should be pride and a pleas
urc for every North Carolinan to see the
great resources of his state properly
shown to the visitors.

A Terrible Policy Being Carried
Out-Russia's Financial Policy
Discussed and Condemned.
ST. PETERSBURG. May 25.-It is re-
ported here that the Russiangovernment
is preparing for wholesale series of
domiciliary police visits throughout this
city and its suburbs, and that all He
brews discovered will be imprisoned and
conveyed, later on, to the Hebrew pale.
1t is added that the program for this
movement will be ready in about two
weeks time. 1t is stated that Gen. Igna-
liff, governor of the province of Kief,
speaking to colleague in regard to the
Hebrews, saidrecently: willmake Kieff
too hot for the whoe brood of rascals,
rights or no rights"
Reports received here from Kieff indi-
cate that this policy is in full force, and
the prosecutions Of the hebrews 80 strong
that Hebrews entitled to reside at Kieff
are allowing themselves to be expelled
without protest rather than risk an en-
dcavor to prove their rights.
A writer in the European Messenger
commenting on the report of the Russian
minister of finance for 1890, draws the
gloomiest pictures of the sufferings of all
classes of Russians, and says that incvi
table financial ruin is bound to overtake
the Russian empire. The writer referred
to also declares that repletion of the
Golfers of the treasury with gold is not
needed in country where paper has
forced circulation. This gold, according
to the writer mentioned, has been OBJ
tained by wholesale taxation and the
runation of the people. In conclusion,
the writer says the apparent financial
SUCCESS of Russia is a delusion because il
is not based on improved economical
conditions.

AND THIS IN KNOXVILLE !
WHERE IS THE POLICEFORCE
OF THAT TOWN.

An Unknown Man Running at
Large with a shot Gun and
"HOldinR Up" whOmsOeyer He
VIII.
KNOXVILLE, Tenn, May 25.-About 8
o'clock last night man with shot gun
walked in front of two colored men sit
ting on Crozier street, elevated the gun
and fired two shots. One took effect in
the abdomen of one of the negroes and
the other in the upper arm, side and face
Of the other. The man then ran out
Crozier street and avenue about one mile
and was there seen to lie down.
A large crowd had followed and
had reached within three hundred Yards
OF him, whercupon he sprang up and
darted into pine thickets near by.
He was next heard of two miles to the
westward and about two miles from
the city. Fred l.. Carpenter, son of one
OF the leading citizens of Knoxville. was
driving towards his fathers country
home, when within a short distance OF il
he noticed man running towards him
calling him to halt. A short colloquy fol-
lowed in which the unknown man de-
manded Carpenters money and jewelry.
When these were refused him he lcveled a
shot gun which he had kept
behind him and fired. The
evening was chilly and Carpenter had his
coat collar turned up, which probably
saved his life. The LEFT side of his face is
filled with shot and his wound is consid-
cred very dangerous.
A large posse is out seeking the william.
The man held up two Others before he
reached Carpenter, from one of whom
he received twenty dollars. Itis believed
he was crazed by drink. He was located
last night and will probably be lynchcd if
caught.
