TIE SMITH HEREsY.
Tho Trial ROsumOd-Th, Second Charge
Snntnined.

Tho Trial ROsum edith, Second Charge
Sustained.
CINc1NNATt, o., Nov. 28.-The heresy
trial of Prof. Henry P. Smith, of Lane
Theological Seminary, was resumed this
morning by the Cincinnati Presbytery
in the First Presbyterian church.
In the beginning, Prof. Spreull gave
notice OF protest against the action OF
the presbytery at the last session in
voting to sustain the first charge and
specification as proper in form and le-
gal effect. He declared in his protest
that the action OF the presbytery was
not only unwarranted by reason, but
was contrary to Christian brotherhood.
The protest was made part OF the rec
ord. Debate was then resumed on the
sufficiency in form and legal ef-
feet of the second charge and its
specifications. This is really the most
important OF the three charges present
ed, as it involves the real question OF
the Bible. The echargeistha in apamph.
let entitled biblical Scholarship and
Inspiration" Professor Smith, taught
contrary to fundamental doctrine OF
the word OF God and the confession OF
faith that the Holy Spirit did not con-
troll the inspired writer's in their compo-
sition OF the Holy Scriptures as to mako
their utterances absolutely truthful.
O., free from error, when interpreted in
their natural and intended sense"
The charge is sustained by eleven
specifications made up Of assertions OF
what was taught by Prof. Smith in his
pamphlet, mainly concerning the
author OF Chronicles, OF the Psalms and
a portion OF Isaiah. While the proper
argument before the court to-day was
upon Prof. Smith's objection to the
sutficiency OF this charge and its speci-
fications as to form any legal effect, the
members OF the court, almost without
exception, addressed Themselves to the
discussion OF the question whether
Prof. Smiths teaching was or was not
contrary to the fundamental doctrine
OF the church.
At tho afternoon session the debate
was continued in the same strain for an
hour or more and then vote was taken
by yeas and nays upon sustaining the
sutiiciency OF the second charge in form
and legal effect, and resulted, yeas "A,
nays IL.
The specifications were voted on after
boing amended by the prosecuting COM
mit.ee in accordance with Professor
Smiths suggestions and with his con.
sent, and were then, with the second
charge, approved asa whole. Tho third
and last charge will undoubtedly be ap-
proved without debate, and then. the
trial proper will begin.

INVESTIGATING THE COMBINE.


President olphant Refuses to Answer
nusStionS-Yssterday'S Session of the
Committee.
NEW York, Nov. 2s.-Investlgation by
the subcommittee by the interstate
commerce commission, composed Of
Congressman Combs, storer, Patterson
and Land, was resumed to-day in the
federal building, Mr.. Patterson pre-
siding. Lawyer Charles +. Leach, rep
resenting the congressional committee,
conducted the examination OF witnesses.
President K. NJ. 0liphant, OF the Del
aware and Hudson canal company, was
called to the wituess stand. His COM
pany, he said, mined and carried
anthracite coal. Last year they mined
n little over 100000 tons. About $780,
900 tons were sent west, the balance
coming east. Thomas l.. TORY repre-
sents the company at tide water meet
ings. There was generally an advance
in prices between January and October.
Mr.. Oliphant said his company had
nothing to do with the coal combine,
but he admitted that the prices OF the
Delaware and Hudson canal company
conformed pretty nearly to those OF
other companies. Mr.. Oliphant did
not see why he should be called upon
to submit to the committee statement
showing the prices of his company
monthly for the year 1892.
In fact, Mr. 0liphant refused to state
what advances in prices has been made
by his company. He did not think the
resolution under which the committee
was acting called for information from
his company, the latter not being in the
combine.
The three members OF the committee,
Messrs. Patterson, Wise aud Storer,
who were present at the session this
morning, were OF the opinion that MIR.
0liphant should answer such questions,
but the latter got out OF it by saying
that Mr.. Terry could best give such in
formation and that he might be in town
tomorrow. The retail coal business,
Mr.. 0liphant said, was about as poor
business as any man could beat present
engaged in.
The next witness was Smith D. Acker,
retail coal dealer, under the firm name
OF Mackey, Young & Ce. Some months
this year they had paid the Pennsylva-
MIA company one. dollar per ton in ad-
vance OF the price thoy had paid in
1891. In October they paid sometimes
65 cents advance on the price per ton
in 1891, He said he would furnish the
committee with a statement showing
the prices OF 1892 as compared with
those OF 1891. Retail coal dealers, wit
ness said, wero not making as much
money this year as they made in 1891.
William +. Street, secretary OF the
Pennsylvania Coal Company, testified
that he attended the tide water meet
inge and also ewestern meetings such
meetings, he said, were altogether in
formal. There was no organization.

ly, that my teaching conflicts with the
essential doctrine "that the souls OF be-
lovers are at their death at once made
perfect in holiness" waive my OBJ
lection to it, and / consent to 60 to trial
on the eighth OF the present charges.
Charges l and . agree in alleging
conflict with the essential doctrines Of
the Holy Scripture and Of the stan
dards "that Holy Scripture is most
necessary and the rule OF faith and
practice" The original charge was
limited to conflict with "the cardinal
doctrine that the Holy Scripture is the
rule OF faith and practice"
II these two charges had limited
themselves to that essential doctrine,
they would be in proper form for trial,
but they insert an additional essential
doctrine, namely that "the Holy Scrip
ture is most necessary"
This changes the nature OF the charge
and you cannot legally allow it, 1t is
my right to insist that this charge be
stricken out At the same time, am
entirely willing to be tried on this
charge as a separate charge, If the
presbytery so desire. This you may ac-
complish either by breaking up charges
and into two charges, or by ruling

the two items and charges l and 2 sepa-
rately.
have the same objection to charge
three. Three ottenses are alleged in
this charge, namely: That my teach
ings are in conflict with tho essential
doctrines; /, that "Holy Scripture is the
word Of God written;" 2, that "Holy
Scripture is Immediately inspired !" "and
3, that "Holy Scripture is the rule Of
faith and practice" Only the first OF
the three was in the original speciti.
cations. Tho third was in the original
charge, OF which that specification was
a part. But the second is an entirely
new charge and on that account
but the second is an entirely new
charge, and on that account transcends
the nature OF the original charge. The
reading of DR.. Briggs demurrer occu-
pied moro than three-quarters OF an
hour, and it was A o'clock when he re-
sumed his seat. Mr.. Lamper, Of the
prosecuting committee, submitted an
answer to DR.. Brigg' objections. The
bpeuhGE uILell ptSu W oAoW GhS AuASaS
OF the defendants statement that the
general nature OF the charges wGs
changed in the amended report. He
also claimed that the changes that had
been made were effected in the interest
of conciseness and with the purpose OF
meeting the objections raised by DR..
Briggs at his previous trial.
A sensation was sprung by DR.. Geo.
Alexander a moment after Mr.. Lamper
had finished speaking. The pastor OF
the University Place church moved
that in consequence OF the objection
made by the accused, the fourth
and seventh charges of the amended
report be stricken out. The motion
caused lengthy discussion. Lawyer
McCook, OF the prosecuting committee,
restored quiet by proposing that the
consideration OF the motion be post
poned till tomorrow. In tho mean
time the committee would make what
ever concessions 1t could consistent with
the performance of its duty. A recess
was then taken until 2o'clock tomorrow
afternoon.

CAUSE OF TIE RESIGNATION.
Marquis La Ferronnays, OF the Right,
questioned the government on Baron
Reinach's death and expressed surprise
that the meeting had not discovered the
truth in reference Herewith. Herefer-
rep to rumors that the burial was only
a sham and that the coffin did not con-
tain the body Of Baron Reinach. He
demanded that the coffin be exhumed
and examined as to its contents. NJ.
Ricard, minister OF justice, arose and
said that he regretted that such accusa-
tions had been made. 1t was evident
that the intention was to bring discredlt
on the administration.
There were protests from the Right,
NJ. Ricard continued, however. He
said that the usual formalities had been
observed in the burial OF Baron
Reinach's body. The doctors had certi-
fled that death was from natural causes.
A post mortem could not be ordered
without previous judicial Intervention.
He was not prepared to intervene him
self, as no crime had been committed.
The parliament committee was power
less 10 order an autopsy, and he de-
clined to institute judicial proceedings,
as it was the duty OF the Judge pinstruc-
tiou in the Panama Canal prosecution to
cause search OF Baron Reinach's
house if he thought it necessary. he
concluded by asking that NJ. La Ferron-
nays question be put in the form Of an
Interpolation. He declared that for
himself he had acted strictly from q
sense of duty. He had not considered
that he was compelled to take legal
steps. NJ. Brisson supported NJ. La
Ferronnay's demand, and said that the
official seals should be affixed to Baron
Reinach's papers, as it was i'm,
perative that the truth should
be discovered. Applause. He
concluded by moving resolu-
ton OF regret that these papers had not
been sealed Immediately on the death
of the baron.
Premier Loubet arose and declared
that which NJ. Brisson had requested
was illegal. N. Brisson protested. NJ.
Loubet continued by saying that N.
Brisson's words could be interpreted
only as indicating a want OF confidence
and as the governments intentions
were regarded with suspicion, he had
nothing further to say.
Great commotion ensued. When or,
der was restored NJ. Loubet simply de-.
clared that ho rejected NJ. Brisson's res
olutions. NJ. Maujan proposed that
there should be added to NJ. Brisson's.
resolution an expression Of confidence,
in the government There was applause
from the left, when NJ. Loubet inter-
posed to say that despite his respect
Tor the wishes of the chamber he could
not agree even to NJ. Maujan's motion.
He could accept nothing but the simple
order of the day. There was great ex7
citement, and, by a vote OF SO4 to 2l9,
the chamber rejected the premier's'
motion to pass to the order Of the day.

The wound was not in the least serious
but quite painful.
Mr.. Ferrell, president OF the Broad

geon, dressed the injured thumb and
somewhat alleviated the pain.
