The Immigration Question.

WASHINGTON, Dec. 2O.-The joint
Committee on Immigratf5n to-day dis
cussed the various measures introduced
I'm both houses for the suspension Of i'm
migration during the prevalence Of chol-
era abroad, and reached an agreement
that a subcommittee on legislation 10
consist Of six members-three from the
Senate and three from the House-should
be appointed by the chairmen Of the two
committees. Senator Chandler and Repre-
sentative Stump. The subcommittee is
to consider all measures now before the
committee proposing to suspend immigra-
tion. and is TO perfect some measure for
this purpose by Thursday. by which day
they are TO report 10 the full joint COM
mittee. The members Of the sub-com-
mittee have not yet been selected. The
committee seem to have reached the con-
clusion that some measure suspendlng
immigration is necessary in order to keep
cholera out of the United States during
the coming summer. and Will doubtless
agree on one at an early date and press
it to passage In both houses.

REPLYING TO DIR. BRIGGS.

DIR, Iempe, OF the IroSccuu""'
His speech Against the Professor
NEW YORK. Dec. 2O.-The fourteenth
dav.s session of the New York Presoy-
tory on the trial of Rev. DIR. c. A. BrissS
on charges Of heresy, was begun promptly
at o'clock. -, ho-
The Rev. DR.. Joseph ]. Lempe then pc
gan the reply of the prosecution. lie saiu
that the PRESBYTERIAN Church ala not seen
fo cornDel any man to accept lts uoS-
trines but IT was time that when any
man personally assumed an obligation 10
that Church the Church itself had the
riqht TO saw whether any man VINO ac-
cepts such a position in that Church
fulfilled faithfully his obligations.
Referring specifically to charges one ana
two. that DR. Briggs had taught that the
reason and the Church are fountains Oh
divine authority, DR.. Lempe sara tne
church denied the position taken by Dr.
Rriegs that the reason and the Church
are divine authority. Or. Tempe said
that there is no salvation without the
knowledge OF Christ and faith In Him.
DR.. Lempe asserted that Christ and the
Apostles in all their teachings pointed out
the Gospel as the final and only standard
OF divine authority. DR.. Briggs, ne salu'
contradicted this vital doctrine
'The position which leads DR.. Briggs 20
welcome rationalists to the household OF
the faithful, and according to which Mar
tineau is as good a Christian as Spurgeon'
Is certainly at variance with Presbyterian
faith and life. II rationalists ike Mar
tineau, who reject the Bible as the word or
God, and with IT all distinctive doctrines
Of saving grace, are TO be considered sood
representative Christians. then we r,ay
as well close our theological seminaries
and churches and disband our boards OF
home and foreign missions"
Taking up Or. Briggs defense of the
third charge, accusing him Of teaching
that there are errors in the original text
Of the holy Scriptures. DR.. Tempe said
that he made no attempt to answer the
charge. In his claim that the Scriptures
contain" the word of God, Dr. Briggs was
i'm antagonism to the principle taught In
the confession that the Scriptures are
the word Of God. He then took up the
statement that the divine authority was
not in words, but in conception. In
this. he said, he cOntradicted the dOctrine,
as set forth in the Presbyterian standards
that makes God to be the author of the
written book.
Dr. Lempe will conclude his answer to-
morrow, probably in time to allow TIE
Presbytery to meet in private session to
hear further from Dr. Briggs and the
prosecuting committee.
This private secsion will be held In the
lecture-room Of the church on Fifteenth
street

POPULLST SCHEME EXPOSED.
flan Concocted by Which They Were 10
Control the Legislature.

TOPEKA, Dec. 20.-There has been
much speculation as to how the Popullsts
proposed to carry out their scheme OF
organizing the House. The latest bit OF
sensational maneuvering has Just leaked
out through a Populst who is rather
loose Of tongue. II has been customary
Tor some members OF the supreme court
10 swear In the members after the Sccre-
tary OF State called the roll OF certified
members. An examination OF the law re-
vealed to Mir. Breidsnthal, chairman OF
the Populist committee, that there never
has been a statutory provision regulating
the manner Of administering the oath.
and that this was but a custom. Some
years ago a member-elect OF the House
was shot and seriously wounded before
the assembling Of the Legislature. In
order TO draw his pay ne was sworn IN
by justice OF the peace, and his member
ship was recognized, and Mr.. Mann, OF
Powell county, drew his full pay. Later
a Senator was sworn I'm by a Justice OF
the peace in his own county, and after a
lengthy debate II was .decided by the
Senate that any persoH empowered TO
administer Oaths could swear In the mem
ber-elect, and he would be Senator with
out further action.
Acting upon these precedents Mr..
Breidenthai has had prepared form OF
oaths and has sent il to every Populist
member with instructions 10 be sworn in
by a Popuist police officer. who would
keep the proceedings secret Following
this when the Legislature assembled on
the 10th. as soon as the secretary called
the roll and before the supreme judge
would have the opportunity to swear In
any member the Popuiists sworn are TO
Immediately organize according 10 eau
Gus orders. which would take about ten
minutes. They having the House. they
are Immediately to appoint committees
and institute contests maintain control
and secure a decided majority not only
in the House, but on joint ballot.
The scheme is a good one, and would
hove worked but for its exposure.
