GUILTY ONTWO CHARGES
RESULT OF THE voTE OF THE PRES
BYrERY PROF. SMITHS CASE.
The Accused Acquitted on the First Charge.
A Committee Appointed to
Tx the Penalty.

CINCINNATI. Dec. 12.-The Presbytery,
I'm secret session at the First Presoyter-
ian church. considering the second and
third charges and, specifications against
Professor Henry Preserved Smith, OF
Lane Seminary took a vote this after
noon. On the second charge the vote
stood 80 to 20 against the Professor. On
the third charge the vote was ~ TO %
against him. The vote on charge one was
also given out 1t stood 81 10 81 in favor
of the accused.
A committee consisting of Drs. James,
Richie and Maxwell and Elders SpraIil
and Eudary. three majority and two NIL
nority members, was appointed TO fix the
penalty and report to the Prebytery to-
morrow morning.
The second and third charges on whlcn
Professor Henry p. Smith was found
guilty this afternoon pertain to his views
on inspiration. The second charge was
that he taught contrary to the fundamen-
tai doctrine of the Word Of God and OF
the confession of faith that the Holy
Spirit did not so control the inspiration
OF writer's in their composition of the holy
Scriptures as to make their utterances
wholly end absolutely truthful. 1. G.. from
error when interpreted IN their natural
and intended sense. The third charge ac-
cused him of teaching an inspiration OF
the Scriptures in a sense different from
that taught by the Scriptures themselves
and by the confession of faith.
In view of the close vote il is surmlsed
that the penalty of accommodation viii
rot be recommended, and possibly not
even more than an admonition, as the
committee Is made up to include several
Supporters of the accused.

PRIMER Ribot said that a few days ago
the Panama committee inquiry had SEEM
ed useless, bat, owing to the continued
dissemination of calumuies, the inquiry
was now a duty Of the public admins
tration. The republic, he declared. was
strong enough to bear a full light on the

the aid of the government TO prove 10
the country that the republic was not
imDerlled.

A GREAT NEWSPAPER.

Three years ago the Washington Post
changed hands and Postmaster Gen
eral Frank Hatton as editor in chief and
Hon. Berah Wilkins, an Ohio ex-con-
gresham, as manager, became the Lead
ing spirits in the new company.
The Post at once took front rank among
the leading journals OF the country it
became great newspaper in the fullest
sense Of the term and met with remark
able success. 1t prospered continually !;
its capacity had to be increased double,
and now, it is announced, that the paper
has outgrown its present quarters, that
the Post Publishing company has pur-
chased a valuable lot and is already en-
gagged in erecting handsome building Of
its own in one OF the best and most suit
able locations in the city OF Washington.
If there is q newspaper in the country
that deserves such prosperity, the WASH
ington Post is certainly that paper.
May the boom and success now attend
ing the Washington Post continue and
grow beyond the expectations of its best
friends and OF its owners.
