BRIGGS WILL BOW
TO the Ruling of the Assembly and
Then
WIN Pose as John Calvin Number Two
With Liberallzed PresbyterlRnism as the
Basis of the Creed-Several Law Suits
Probable in the Near Future.

PORTLAND, Ore, May 2B.-Dr. Briggs,
the famous Union seminary theologian,
walked for the first time Monday after
noon on the assembly floor. He took a
prominent front seat among his judges.
Tho news hoated through the crowd,
briggs is here" This soon crowded
the door and gallery.
The feeling predominated that the
critical hour in Presbyterianism had ar
rived. After the joint committee on the
Union seminary difficulty had reported
at length that a compromise had been
reached, six assembly members of the
joint committee presented a recommend
alton Cor o board of arbitration.
Then the climax Of the day came DR..
e. N. Kinsley, secretary Of the directors
Of Union seminary, walked upon the
platform amid profound silence and
slowly unfolded the ultimatum of the
Union seminary, formulated in the re.
port and appended memorial to the as
sembly. Theologians hostile TO his cause
whispered Sdmiringly. Reading slowly
DR.. Kinsley said
"Dr. Briggs has denied heresy accusa-
tions, we therefore stand by him, and
must do 1t to the end. The Detroit as
sembly went beyond its authority in the
Briggs matter. Unions differences
with the assembly are honest and re-
concilable. We recognize there are
two views of the trouble. We recon-
mend that the statu quo be maintained
pending a possible solution of the
trouble"
Following the unsatisfactory report,
Kingsley read q memorial from Union
seminary directors to the assembly. 1t
declared serious wrong had been done
Union seminary; that the present COM
pact between the assembly and semi
nary was fraught with danger, and
finally demanded abrogation of the
compact and that Union be allowed in
dependence the same as it had prior 90
1890. The memorial vigorously object
ed to the veto power of the assembly
over the election of seminary professors
and obje ed to all supervision of semi
naries by the church.
The reading of these papers produced
a profound sensation. Action was de-
ferred until the seminary committees
final report this week. The drift of the
assembly sentiment is now against
tamely granting Unions demands, in
that all Presbyterian seminaries shall
hereafter be completely under church
control and refractory ones left out in
the cold.
The conviction gains ground in the
assembly that Union seminary, headed
by Briggs, is deliberately arranging to
found new branch of liberalized Pres
byterians, and has no intention of COM
promising with the present church.
Briggs will then pose as new kind
of John Calvin.
Union seminary was largely endowed
by orthodox Presbyterians on the
strength of its compact of obedience of
the assembly. If the worst comes, law
suits by heirs to recover it's endowment,
are probable.

Elliott's Stray Bullet,

COLUMBUS, O., May 26.--John H.
Reese, one of the wounded victims of
the Elliott-Osborn tragedy year ago,
was awarded $4,000 damages against
Elliott Wednesday. Reese was struck

tense. The Elliotts have no property
left out of the financial wreck of their
fortunes which followed the tragedy,
and Reese's only hope to recover the
damages is that Elliott may be par
doned and then accumulate enough
money to satisfy the judgment.

Prindiville's court has decided that the
