New YORK, November 29.-The first I'M
portant question to come up in the second
session Of the Briggs trial this afternoon Is
the stand which the prosecuting committee
would decide to take in regard TO Prof..
Briggs's objections to the charges and the
demand that Nos 4 and be stricken out
In spite of the storm without, the old
church was almost as well filed as yester-
day, hardly a member being absent. To-
days session was opened with prayer, and
after the roll was called the floor was given
to the prosecuting committee.
DR.. Briggs's friends and opponents ahke
realized that crisis was imminent ana
every step in to-day's proceedings was FOL
lowed with intense interest. Moderator
Bliss announced that the business before
the court was the consideration Of the mo-
tion to strike out the two charges referred
\to and then DR.. Alexander, who offered the
nation, had the floor. DR.. Berth made the
po{fft OF order that the protest made by Dr.
Briggs yesterday was a menace to the ex-
istence of',the court and could not, there
fore be considered. The Moderator made
noruling on the p,2int Col McCook then rose
and read the opinion Of the committee on
the motion and argued that the two charges
could not be dropped. The fourth charge
could not be dropped because DR.. Briggs S
denial of the fulflment Of the details OF
prophesy was denial Of the >ESutnfulness
of the Bible, and an impeachmept OF tue
omnipotence Of God.
DR.. Alexander interrupted Col. MdCooK
by insisting that the committeeman had no
right to argue on the objection, and Cofa
McCook resumed his seat.
Dr. Briggs took the floor and said that
one Of Col. McCook's points was based on
q typographical error in the printed copy,
aud must be dropped. He declared that
the offer made yesterday to waive his OBJ
lection to the six other charges was made
conditionally.
Dr. Robinson, the: great hymn writer,
wanted to know what the conditions were.
He was answered by DR.. Van Dyke, and
corroborated by the defendant, that the
condition was that the charges, which en-
bodied two separate counts, should
be divided. The pastor of the
church in which the trial is be-
ing held moved that the committees
charges be considered seriatim, and that
until the fourth charge was reached the
motion to strike it out be laid on the
table. This motion was lost, and DR.. Alex
ander's motion to strike out charge four
was taken up. A vote was taken, and the
motion was carried by the decided vote Of
10 to 40. The seventh charge suffered the
same fate by about the same vote
Col McCook asked that ar exception TO
the courts action be entered on the record
in behalf of the prosecuting committee.
The court then took recess till tomorrow

Rumors That the Move OF the Panama

Railroad Against the Pacinc mai bJeam-
ship Company Is q Blow at American
shipping.
new YORK, November 29.-The re-
cent action taken by the Pacific Mail
Steamship Company to obtain an in
junction in the Supreme Court restrain
ing the Panama Railroad Com
pany from making contract with the
Chilean Steamship Company line, and
the notice served by the railroad that
after February /, 1898, no true bills OF
ladlng would be received from the
Prcific Mail Steamship Company, have
created great deal of interest In ship
ping circles, and fears have been ex-
pressed that this action would be
severe blow to American coastwlse
trade. E. A. Drake, one Of the direc-
tors of the Panama Railroad
Company, says: at Is uncertain
whether or not the transcontineDtal
association has been dissolved, but one
thing is certai'{ that the Southern
Pacific Rairoac one Of the members Of
the associat' "a is most interested In
this case. farming rumors that the
Monroe do1trne Is assaied have been
set in motion. The American govern
mept has been questioned, and he said
the transit route over the Isthmus Is to
be used for the benedt OF foreign
government. Mr.. Monchicourt, of the
Panama Canal Co., is credited with
being an officer Of the French Gov
ernment, and is charged with
having taken measuses to drive away
any American commerce from the
Isthmus route. He is not an officer Of
the French government, and the French
government has nothing whatever to
do with the case. The bonds Of the
railroad company have been redeemed
and interest paid on them and stock OBJ
tanned at cost of 900 certainly deserves
a dividend now aud then. The imme-
date occasion OF all this disturbance
was the notification from the railroad
Office of the Pacific Mail Steam
ship Company of the withdrawal
of ofss0the privilege Of true
bills of lading specified In various tri-
partite agreements, 10 which the Pan
ANA Railroad Company, the Pacific
Mail Steamship Company and some
other steamship lines were parties.
These agreements simply provided on
their face for notice to be given OF
two months or six months prior to the
revocation of the agreement. This
notice, it must be remarked, we had a
right TO give any time as an ordinary
matter of business, the documents
themselves furnishing the mode of re-
yoca tiOn."

HERESY TRIALS GALORE
Is What the Presbyterian Church VIII
Have If All Who Hold Smiths Views
are Prosecuted


are Prosecuted.
CINCINNATI, O., November 29.-The
entire forenoon session Of the Cincinnati
Presbytery was spent in discussion Of
the suff1ciency in form and legal effect
OF the third charge and specification
against Prof. Henry P. Smith. Yet, As
in nearly all the preceding discussions,
the speakers have wandered from the
subject and have, in effect, treated the
case as If it were before them to decide
upon Prof. Smiths quit or innocence
rather than upon the merit of the work
of the prosecuting committee in its ef-
forts TO present proper charges and
specifications. Speeches on the ques-
tion were made by Drs. Roberts, Rob-
ertson, Leonard and Ritchie, on behalf
of sustaining the work OF the committee,
and by Revs. Taylor. Acksman aud Gill
christ against.
DR.. Roberts, with the main question
evidently in his mind, said with empha-
sis, that there was crisis in the Pres
byterian Church of the gravest nature.
There was an attempt to force theory
of inspiration upon the church.
Prof. Smith asked II he meant that
he, if sustained by the Presbytery,
would bring those to trial who did not
agree with bim.
DR.. Roberts replied that he referred
to a forcing of theory by other meth
DDS than judicial process. The Doctor
went on pto explain his view Of the
inspiration Of the scriptures by saying
that he did not believe I'm verbal inspir-
alton but in plenary inspiration. He
did not believe as Prof. Smith appar-
emily taught, that the scripture con-
tanned the word of God as water is con-
tained in a cup, but as silver is con-
tanned in dollar, every grain silver.
The vote had not been reached at the
noon adjournment.
At the afternoon session, after two hours
more OF discussion, yea and nay vote was
taken on the question OF sustaining the
sufficiency in form and legal effect Of the
third charge
It showed what had been forehodawed in
the debate, that at least two members of
the court had come over TO the side of the
accused. One was the Rev. Hugh Gil
christ. pastor of the church ia which the
court sits, and the other was Rev. z. F.
Walker. The latter in his remarks on the
discussion said that if ministers holding
the views which Prof Smith had taught
are 70 be subjected 10 trials, the Pres sbytery
will have enough heresy trials to keep il
busy for three years.
The sufficiancy of the third charge was
sustained-yeas, 40; nays, p.
The court is now ready to begin the for
NAL trial.

Great Britaln's Proposal Meets With
Favor and Opposition,


NEW YORK, November 29.SA!fred de
RothschildS's otherwise Great Britain's)
proposals to the international Monetary
Conference yesterday are received with
both approval and condemnation by New
York tiDanciers.
President j. Edward Simmons Of the
Fourth National Bank. said to-day:
II would not like to express an opinion
on the proposition until acquainted with
all the details involved in the plan pro-
posed by MIR. DeRothschilds. The Euro
pean powers combined would only buy
100000 pounds of silver, or about 3O,OOO,-
900 ounces, we, single nation, would be
bound to buy twice as much each year.
That would be throwing too heavy
burden upon US, and the advantage would
all be on the other side. AS it appears
now, l do not see where our relief would
come in"
The other side may be taken from the
remarks of Henry Clews, who said: 'The
step proposed by Mr. Rothschilds is one in
the right direction, 1 think. It's immedi-
ate effect upon money itself would not be
so great, but the moral effect would be
most important. Should the governments
Of Europe agree to buy 100000 pounds of
silver yearly for five years, it would lndi-
cate that they understood Americas situa-
tion and are anxious to help her as much
as in their power"

that they were forced to preach that

prove, and thereby called forth the
startled reproofs of the orthodox con-
servatives. At the close, Chicago Pres
byterians had placed themselves on rec
ord as Disappearing all the changes
made by the General Assembly OF the

Assemoly's committee was then adopted
by a vote of 35 to is. A supplemental
report was presented asking the Gener-
al Assembly to appoint new commit
tee on revision. It's consideration was
postponed until January.
