REV. DIR. SMITHS TRIAL.
The Cincinnati Presbyterian Minist
Charged With Hereay.

The Cincinnati Presbyterian Minister
Charged With Heresy.
The presbytery Of Cincinnati assembled in
the First Presbyterian Church of that city yes
terday to prepare for the trial Of Rev. DR..
Henry P. Smith, a professor Of Hebrew in the
Lane Theological Seminary. Most of the morn
ing was consumed in discussing the question as
to who should have the right to vote on the
charges. Rev. DIR. Scott Of Lebanon presided
as moderator.
Recently Prof. Smith created great sensa-
ton among the Presbyterians Of the west by
questioning the accuracy Of certain historical
and scientific statements in the Bible In con-
sequence Of the position assumed by the profess
sor the committee Of prosecution consisting of
Rev. W. Mckibben, d. D.. Rev. Thomas o. Lowe
and Elder d. H. Shields charge him with
teaching that the Holy Spirit did not control
the inspired writers to make their utter
ances absolutely truthful He is charged with
teaching that the inspired author of Chronicles
has been guilty Of asserting sundry errors of
historic fact-the author of Chronicles has been
guilty OF suppressing sundry historic truths
owing to inability or unwillingness to believe
Them that the inspired author Of Chronicles
incorporated into his narrative and indorsed by
his authority material drawn from unreliable
sources.
lho ptoiesSOI dlsO Win teRculnR
that the historical unrelability of the inspired
author Of Chronicles extended to other in
spired historic writer's Of the Old Testament.
Prof. Smith is prepared to make a vigorous de-
Tense. He claims that by holding that he has
not violated the confession of faith of the
church nor has he violated his obligation as a
minister of the Gospel He says also that he be-
lieves that the Bible Is the word Of God and the
infalible rule of faith and practice, but that
such belief does not essentially demand that
every word Of the Bible is literally true and in
spired. DR.. Smith does not retract anything
that he has said, but defends his case with the
claim that his teachings and writings are not
heretical.

Where the Single Takers Stand,

The Chicago Single Tax Club has adopted
the following resolutions:
Whereas the national democratic platform
denounces protection as a fraud and robbery
and declares it to be unconstitutional, and with
these declarations submitted the matter t. the
people, therefore
Resolved, That the tidal wave which swept
the country last Tuesday was righteous con-
domination of protection.
Resolved, That we denounce as false to the
pledges Of the democratic party and inimicul TO
its continued success every utterance on part
Of its accredited leaders tending to justify per-
petuation Of any vestige Of the protective sys-
tenn.
Resolved, Labor has demanded justice; when
monopolists seek protection they should ask il
by its right name, and at the place provided for
the needy. and not strive to turn the national
government into gigantic pauper institution.

MoMENTOUs WEEK IN FRANCE.

Cease to Exist.

1t IL Believed That the Cabinet will Soon
Cease to Exist.
The present week is likely to be a momentou
one for the French cabinet. There is a grow.
ing opinion that the ministry is only awaiting
a chance TO die gracefully. The chamber OF
deputies has already abolished the duties on
certain drinkables against the advice Of the
ministers. thus diminishing the revenue by
$4,000. 600 francs and upsetting the finance min
listers budget schemes
Tomorrow the government will press it's bill
asking for power to suppress violent anarchis,
papers. 1t is believed that the chamber will re-
ject the bill mode of censur-
ing the prime minister's weakness in dealing
with anarchists.
On Thursday the Panama canal question will
be debated, and this il likely to bring on
crisis The government may elect to call on
either OF these questions or on the Franco
Swiss convention.
should the ministry be overthrow it is
likely that NJ. Ribout, the present minister OF
foreign affairs, and NJ. deFreycinet. the present
minister OF war, will be retained in the re-
modelled cabinet
The outcome Of the weeks events is watched
with great interest in political circles.
A mass meeting of miners was held at Car
maux Sunday at which resolutions were adopted
declaring that they would pursue. in concert
with the protectariat of the whole world. a
policy Of political and economic appropriation
OF the moneyed middle class by means Of social
revolution.
At meeting Of anarchists held in Paris Sun
day workman named Georges advocated the
use of dynamite by the working classes to gain
their ends. He commended the authors of the
recent explosion at the police station in the
Rue DIES Bon Enfants. This led to a protest
from some Of the audience, and the meeting
number of blank warrants for the arrest of
anarchists have been given to special detectives.
At the same time much adverse comment has
been caused by the fact that anarchists hold
disorderly meetings under the very noses of the
police. Newspaper reporters have no difficulty
in finding out where the meetings are held, and
1t is claimed that the police should suppress
such gatherings altogether.
While a company of infantry was waiting at
the Compiegne station yesterday one Of the
privates insulted and struck an officer Telling
him to the ground and crying, "Long live an
archy; down with the army and its officers"
The man was at once arrested. The penalty for
striking an officer is usually death.
In village near Limoges last night dyna-
mite bomb was exploded on the doorstep OF a
dwelling house. Some damage was done to the
building but the inmates escaped without in
jury, although badly scared.

GERMANY'S NEW ARMY BILL.
Opposition to It's Adoption Expresse,
Throughout the Country.

Opposition to Its Adoption Expressed
Throughout the Country.
At concurrent meetings Of the Catholic party
in Bavaria, Baden and Wurtemburg we'll
nigh unanimous sentiment against the German
army bill was expressed.
The popular opposition to the measure is also
growing among the people. who are becoming
more and more alive to the fact that the bill
will entail upon them financial burdens by rails
ing the prices of tobacco. beer and spirits. The
disclosure Of the fact that Prussia il financially
embarrassed, taken with the proposal Of DIR.
Miguel, Prussian minister Of finance, to levy a
tax on capital, has contributed to a revulsion
against the German governments financial
policy generally. The general situation is so
menacing to the German ministry that it has
given rise to reports that the army bill will be
delayed long enough to be revised before it is
introduced in the reichstag, and that Chancellor
Won Caprivi will be obliged to resign in the
meantime.
These reports. however, are entirely without
foundation. The bill has been passed by the
bundesrath without alteration except for few
verbal changes in the preamble. Chancellor
Won Caprivi will introduce it in the reichstag on
the Gath instant and il it is defeated ne will re-
sign. Emperor William is not an enthusiastic
adherent Of the project. He is credited. while
giving his final assent TO it, with remarking to
the chancellor: You risk much over this

The court-martial of Assistant Engineer
George W. Danforth of the United States navy
was begun at noon yesterday at the Brooklyn
navy yard. The prosecution, conducted by
Judge Advocate Paul st. Clair Murphy of the
Atlanta. will attempt to prove that on Novem-
Der Lieut.. Albert Alderman, officer Of the
deck, sent the master alarms to the engine
room to order one of the machinists to come to
the mast. The officer delivered his message
without consulting Danforth the engineer in
charge. Danforth offered a protest, and was
twice summoned before the officer of the deck,
but refused to go, on the plea that he was
needed in testing the steampipes. The execu-
tive officer OF the ship then ordered Danforth
on deck and he responded. The case wa laid
before Capt. A. S. Barber. and Danforth re-
stated his excuse. adding that it was against the
order of the chief engineer to leave without be-
ing relieved. Danforth was then suspended
until "a court-martial should pass upon his case

Counsellor W. H. Stayton, for the defendant
asked permission to put informally to each
member the following questions:
l. Have you discussed or heard any discus
sion of this case!
q Are you conscious of having any Line and
stat" feeling?
8. Have you heard this case referred to as
cline and STAFF case?
4. Do you think that circumstances might
justify an engineer of the watch in refusing to
leave his station without being relieved when
sent for by the officer of the deck?
5. Do you consider an order from an officer
OF the deck directing an engineer OF the watch
to leave his station and come on deck to be a
lawful order?
After discussion behind closed doors the
judge advocate announced that the foregoing
questions would be entered on the record of the
trial, but the members of the court would not
be examined on them. Each member of the
board then took the prescribed oath The
charge against Danforth was read and he pleaded
not guilty.
