CONFERENCE ADJOURNS.
British Delegates Object to Resumin
 

British Delegates object to Resuming
 the Session.
 BRUSSELS, Dec. 19-After M. Renzps resolution had been proposed at the mon etary conference Saturday, Senator Allison made short speech in behalf of the United States delegation. He laid emphasis upon the fact that throughout the debate nobody had suggested that either of the money metals be discarded.
 During the adjournment, he said, the delegates would have time to study the Rothschild and other proposals that had been submitted. -..--...-..
 Although the conference has been of brief duration" he continued, "the discus sions that have taken place have been of great value, and we think 1t wise to re- sume the deliberations after recess. Any agreement at which the conference might arrive would probably require large concessions on our part. It is nat | ural, therefore, that the democratic administration which is about to come | into office in the United States and upon which the responsibility for such action would fall, should have an opportunity tc | direct the course of the United States dele | gates. It would, consequently, be advantar l geous to the United States If the confer ence adjourn long enough to enable tht new government to consider what shall be done."
 Bertram Currie of the British delegation objected to the reassembling of the confer erence, on the ground that as three previ | ous monetary conferences had failed ther' was little prospect of the present one be ing 6 success.
 Sir O. Rivers Wilson of the Britisl delegation coneurred in the opinion o Mr. Currie. He said that if the confer ence should reassemble its tasks should b confined to an examination of perfeotl, explicit proposal from the United State or some other power which would not ir terfere with the fundamental principle governing the monetary systems of tn various states concerned. In the near
 time, he said, Great Britain would reserv
 complete liberty of action.

THE BRIGGS, TRIAL.

Conclusfon of a Three Days, Speech The Fifth and Sixth Charges Met The Moderator Sustained In a Ruling Adverse to the Defendant. NEW YORK, Dec 19.-In the Briggs trial to-day Professor Briggs finished his three days speech in his own defense. The ses- sion was longer than usual. Colonel McCook expressed the hope that Professor Briggs would not be interrupted. Professor Briggs eaid he was not repeating himself. He then continued his argument against the charge. The substance of charge v is that Professor Briggs declared that Isaiah was not the author of the book that bears his name. Professor Briggs quoted high and ancient authority to sus- tain this statement, and proved quite ex- haustively that nowhere in the bible was there any such authorship credited to Isaiah, but that 1t was patent and admitted that Isaiah had acted as editor of the books and writings credited to him. The de- fendant with much feeling demanded that he be judged by the Westminster confes- s1on. He declared that the prosecution was not only inconsistent with chapter IS of the confession, but in opposition to the bible itself.
 Charge VI was then taken up, the es- sence of which is that the accused had declared that sanctiication is not complete at death. The defendant said he had de- clared for progressive specification. The invariable statement of the New testament is that the second advent of Christ Is the goal of sanctifcation. In conclusion Dr. Briggs said:
 "I have shown that the doctrines taught by me are not contrary to the Westminster confession, but are in accord herewith; that they are not irreconoilable with the scriptures, but are the product of a com prehensive study of the scriptures. They set forth the doctrines of the bible which have been made of none effect by the tra- ditions of men. I pray God that you may stand firmly by the word of God and the constitution of our church and SO deliver & righteous verdict"
 Professor Briggs said he wanted the question decided how much more time the prosecuting committee would ask for. Under the rules of the book of discipline the prosecution were not allowed testimony and argument in rebuttal. He would not insist strictly on the enforcement of the rule, but he demanded that the prosecu- tlon snoulQ not DC permitted 70 bring In new matter, or matter that it had prepared months ago and held for its conclusion.
 Colonel McCook said that he thought they could conclude their reply by Wed nesday evening. The committee would insist on the usages of the courts which allowed the complainant to open and close the proceedings. The moderator 30 ruled.
 Professor Briggs commenced to speak, but with sharp rap of the gsvel the mod orator said:
 "Dr. Briggs, you are out of order. You have had your say, and If the ruling is ob- jectionable you can appeal"
 Professor Briggs flushed and said in loud tones:
 "Then do appeal"
 The vote was taken and the moderator was sustained by an overwhelming vote, which elicited applause.
 The prosecution will commence its reply at D. m. to morrow.
