DIR. BRIGGS REPLIES.
A Great Throng Hears Him, In.
GLIDING Mrs. Cleveland.
HE COMPLAINS OF INJUSTICE.
Hereto Prof Smith, of Cincinnati, Sus-
pended-He Appeals. and Many Think
There Will Be Split in Church.

YEw YORK, Dec. 13.-Prof. Briggs trial
was resumed today. The galleries of the
church were crowded. Among the prom
;nent people in the galleries was Mrs.
Cleveland. The large attendance is due
to the fact that Prof. Briggs was to an
swer the charges. Briggs read from a
printed pamphlet. He considered the
points of the prosecuting committee
and argument, and asserted that the
lines of prosecution adopted by them
are illegal and dishonora5le. Much of
McCook' s argumedt had been devoted to
the exposition of the fourth and seventh
charges, which were rtlled out by the
presbytery. By thus defying the presby-
terry, the prosecution had succeeded in the
scheme of sending to a higher court here
after argument in support of the truth of
the charges. Defendant argued that
no evidence had been advanced
by the prosecuting committee of the
20 sustain charges, 1, 4, 3 and 6, and these
charges should be thrown out. There had
been no proof offered yet that he had been
guilty of false teachings. and if this were
civil court he should stop right here and
ask that the case be dismissed. But recog-
nizing the fact that the trial was merely
to higher ecclesiastical tribunal, he was
forced to consider them Oh their merits.
Prof Briggs then proceeded to take up
successfully the charges and speciica-
tions and give categorical response in
his argument, which WIGS remarkable for
wide research, profound eradication and
close reasoning. He first called
attention to preliminary principles
regulating all trials for heresy in the Pres
byterian church of the United States,
which. he said, had been entirely disre-
garded by the prosecution in their argu-
ments upon the amended charges and
specifications. The Presbyterian law re-
quires that the charges should set forth
that certain teachings and irreconcilable
conflict with certain doctrines which are
essential and necessary to the Westminster
standards and the holy scriptures. AS to
dangerous errors not in irreconcilable con-
flict with the essential and necessary arti-
cles of the Westminster confession, this
presbytery had no constitutional right to
deal with them.
Briggs next considered the question of
''Ths Bible. the Only Foundation of Di-
vine Authority" and replied to parts 1
and together. At this point the defend
ant stopped reading for the day.

Aouila to Capt. John Watson. owner of the

Capt Watson ran the Cascade up there for q
long time and succeeded, after long struggle,
in driving all the other boats out and getting
complete control of the business. There Is
really more bueiness than will support one
steamer, but few months ago Capt. Bergman
started 10 bring his steamer Mikado around
from Lake Washington to place her on the
route. Before the water was high enough TO get

Bergman placed her on tho route a short timc

found neither the Milton nor Cascade . match
for her.
He became moro resolute than ever and Bat
urday evening came In and asked Mr.. Nc
Naughts price for the flyer Aquila- As MI.
Mcknight contsmplates going away next sum
mer for at least eighteen months. he named his
spin 70 Salmon bay aud back and then walked
into Mr.. McNaught's Office and planked down
$3.50 a cash forfeit TO bind the bargain. Yes
terday the deal was closed and the papers
made out.
Mr. Mcknight would not name the price. but
said it a good figure. He Sid he never
parted with anything he hated worse to sell,
with the exception OF q horse, and he bought
him back few day after selling him. paying
much higher price than he had received.

Some Of tho Others Farther Advanced
Cause Of the Delay.
TACOMA, Dec 13.-[Special Word has
been received here frequently of late that
the Washington state Worlds fair building
was tagging in comparison with those of
other states. W. L. Davidson has returned
from trip through the eastern part of the
state where he went in the interest of ma
terial for the building. He is material
agent for the Washington Worlds fair
commission and has been working Sum-
days and nights in rustlIng the necessary
material together and having it shipped
East. Mr.. Davidson was asked about the
delay and if it was true. He said:
Yes, we are little behind in our work.
Some OF the other state buildings are ahead OF
ours. Still ours is inclosed and the shingles are
on and from all I can hear tho Washington
building attracts more attention than any other
building on the grounds.
Regarding the cause of the delay Mr..
Davidson said:
We have been greatly hampered by failure to
secure material promptly. On my trip to the
eastern part of the state found that H. w.
Bassetts mill at Palouse City had burned, and
Mahon Callahan's mill at Spokane had shut
down. They were to have gotten out part of
the inside finishing material, which we shall
have to get elsewhere. / also visited Deer Park
and Buckeye and Walla Walla. The Eastern
Washington firms were to furnish window
frames, bansters, etc. Tomorrow go to Seat
tie to see the Pacific Mill Company and the
Western Mill Company, both of which are fur
nishing material. At Fremont Mr.. Bu-lingame
is loading car of material which includes 5000
feet of clear cedar wainscoting, furnished by
McVeigh e. Co., of Ballard. At Tacoma Nichols
& Corruthers and Addison Bros are furnishing
material. Nearly all OF our material will 60
forward during the next week or ten days. What
We need is mouldings, window frames, stair
railing and finishing material generally, nearly
all of which we now have in sight
Mr.. Davidson expects the Washington
building to be finished some time in Feb
ruary. Those contributing material will
be given credit for their donations in one
of the large panels at the side of the build
ing, in which the names of ali contributors
Will be painted. One of the elegant and
nicely framed new Autographs of the
building now out will be also sent to con-
tributors. Mr.. Davidson estimates the
value of material generously donated by
mill men of Washington at $50 600.

Church Is Imininent.
CINCINNATI. Dec. 13.-The Cincinnati pres
bytery by vote of 81 to 81, as unofficially
reported, has pronounced against Rev. DR..
Henry 2. Smith, as follows: DR.. Smith
is suspended from the ministry of the
Presbyterian church until such time
as he shall make manifest to the salts
faction of the presbytery his remuneration
of errors and his holy and solemn
purpose to no longer teach or propa-
gate them. A majority OF the committee
favored rebuke, but by the close vote al
ready given the decision was in favor of
his suspension from the Iainistry.
His acQuittal on the first charge and the
closeness of the vote on the other charges
and in the sentence are taken as good
reason why Prof. Smith should appeal to
the Ohio synod and to the general assem-
bly,, but, on the other hand, it is said the
known views of the synod are such that
an appeal would be vain attempt. except
as a step towards reaching the general
assembly. There is deep feeling in the
Presbyterian church over the progress and
result of the trial. Many see in it the
opening wedge for divided church. To.
morrow morning the presbytery will meet
for the purpose of approving the record
and passing sentence upon the convicted
member

A SILVER MINE OWNER ON GOLD.
Says 1t Must Give Way to Siiver-En-
glands stubborn Attitude.

TACOMA, Dec. 13.-[Special.l - Thomas
Lanktree, OF Salt Lake City. bfother-in-
law OF Col. Thad Huson. and an old ac-
quain,ance of q. W. Dickinson. general
assistant superintendent Of the Northern
Pacific railway, is in the city for few

OF silver mine stocks, ami regarding the
monetary conference he says:

owners propose 10 make 10 congress will COM

silver dollar worth 90 cents in pure silver for
one worth intrinsicaiy 20 cents less. The silver
mine people in earnest ana they will be
ready TO act just as soon as the gold bugs Of En-
gland succeed in convincing she monetary con-
ference that nothing can be done. We control
the output of silver OF the sorld, why should

aud sells the dollars at big premium in vari-
ous corners Of the world where it trades. The
plaa OF the silver mine owners would put our
silver at premium.
Mr.. Lanktree says of Englishmen outside
of their own country:
You can find them in every corner OF the
earth. They open trade everywhere. You meet
an American abroad aud he says america is
good enough for me-" but the Eng!ishrsr, as
q rule, acts a. ii he thought justine oppOsits OF
his country. As result, England wants to
run things, silver aud all. Gold must go.
though. Counting in the prospsctors' time and
everything entering into the expense, it costs

now coined.
