DIR. BRIGGS DEFENSE,
His Opening Remarks Mt the Afternoon
Session Yesterday.


IFrom ye terday's Assembly edition.l
The Commissioners were promptly on hand
for the afternoon session and although the rain
was falling steadily the galleries were crowded
with spectators Prayer was offered by Judge
Wills and then DR.. Lampe resumed his argu-
ment
DIR. Briggs interrupted to ask whether it was
lawful to argue on the rejected charges before
they were declared sufficient in form and mat
ter.
The moderator ruled that it was the purpose
OF the court to pass upon this question, and he
ruled that argument was in order.
DR.. Briggs took his seat, and subsequently
Judge Cutcheon arose and made the point that
until this court had ruled whether the lower
court was in error in leaving them out, that ar
gument on their merits was not in order.
Col. McCook replied that nnder the rules
adopted governing the discussion unless the ar
gument on this alleged error of the presbytery
was made at this time it could not be argued
at all.
Further Protest.
DR.. Briggs also spoke further protesting
against the discussion of the merits of these re-
jected charges at this time.
Judge Cutcheon said in answer to a question
from the moderator that he did not appea

Continuing. DIR. Briggs said that in any case
it is the divine spirit that determines when and
where and how the effectual call shall be made
He had not said in his inaugural nor in any of
his writings that he co-ordinated the Bible, the
church and the reason. nor could it rightly be
inferred that he did so.
SOME WERE ASLEEP.
About this point in the argument some
member OF the assembly moved an adjourn
ment some of his neighboring members
were asleep. This simple statement created n
laugh at the expense of DIR. Briggs. in which he

with his argument. touching upon the teaching
of the confession and holding that he must be
judged by his faith and his practice. and not by
individual Interpretation. Then turning 10 the
question Of scriptural inerrancy, he said the
Scriptures had not been handed down by angel
entirely different way. He used the human
reason and the facilities Of imperfect man.
He allowed the sacred writings to
be edited and re-edited, and ar
ranged and rearranged by imperfect
scribes. 1t was improbable that such imper-
But the inaccuracies did not touch the vitality
or inspiration of the spirit. The witness, in a
court of justice, was not rejected because he
slipped into errors of detail resulting from care
lessness or luattentlon. Ills evidence was
stronger because of these very faults, and the
witness who made no mistakes was open to sus-
picion. Historical documents were never cast
aside as worthless because they contained in
cidental errors. No historical document could
be found that infallible. The pope did not
claim to be infallible in all things-in ordinary
conversation about politics and art and music
but only when sitting in the chair of st. Peter
speaking of morality and religion. He held
that there we're errors Of Holy Scripture in
matters that did not in anyway impair its infal-
libility in matters of faith and practice
At this point the hour of 10 o'clock being
reached, the assembly adjourned until $50 this
morning, DIR. Briggs having spoken altogether
three hours yesterday.

ERROR IN THE RECORD.

The defendant next referred to the paragraph
in the prosecuting committees appeal alleging
error in the incorporation of certain state
ments and evidence into tho record which it
was alleged had not been made, nor offered by
the defendant on the trial. Prof. Brown read
the action of the presbytery of New York upon
this matter. The evidence thus incorporated
into the record, DIR. Briggs said, contained the
opinions of many scholars, which furnished ir-
refragable proof of the correctness of the de-
PENDANTS teachings. He had introduced, he
said, the opinions Of 124 scholars now living
and of twenty-three who. although dead. lived
within the twenty-five years in which the de-
PENDANT studied in Germany and taught in the
seminary. "And the attempt of DIR. Lampe
this afternoon" continued DIR. Briggs, ito as
sail them as rationalists was wholly unwar-
ranted- Many of them as thoroughly
Chris titan and orthodox as himself"

Jim Hall Defeats Him Before the National
Sporting Club in London.
James Hall met Frank Slavin at the National
Sporting Club in London last night for 50 500
side and purse of IS. 500, and knocked him
out in the seventh round The fight was dis
appointment to the spectators. Slavin was the
favorite in the betting up to tbs opening of the
first round, but from the beginning he made
poor showing. He was completely outgen-
eraled at every point by Hall and was unable to
offer even enough resistance to make the con-
test exciting.
When time was called Slavin's face wore a
peculiar, dazed expression. He lurched heavily
twice as he left his corner, and was generally
unsteady in his gait. After sparring for few
seconds he walked directly up to Hall and was
received with staggering Highlander, which
almost foored him. Throughout the round be
never closed his glove, and when time was
called went to his corner amid the kissing and
groaning of the spectators.
In the second round he showed no improve
ment. He iurched about stupidity, giving
Hall several chances to hit him as he pleased.
Hall did not take advantage of his opportu-
mites and the round closed without any heavy
work on either side.
The third round opened with some light
sparring. In the middle Of tho round Hall
landed both right AID left on his opponents

close quarters. At the end of the round the
referee warned them that if they did not fight
there would be no purse for them. The warn
ing had little effect
The fourth round was a scrapping one. Not
single telling blow was struck. and the fool
ing of the previous round was repeated until
the spectators Kissed and jeered.
The fifth round somewhat better. It
ended with SlavIn's going down from a right
handler on the jaw. Nothing was accomplished
by either of the men in the sixth round.

Wet grounds prevented n game Between the

lead of the Pirates. II was crushing defeat for
the Orioles. who went west fully expecting to wipe
the Pirates from the face of the earth (vide
Hanlon's remarks Sunday night. The Orioles
are heavy batting team, and when they run
up against pitcher who has an off day they
make things uncomfortable for him, but they
are by no means one Of the crack clubs OF the
league. In fact. there is no club the Washing
tons would tackle with more confidence. They
have Only Mcmahon and McNabb pitchers,
and if either is hurt down will go the Orioles.
The Cleveands as well as all the other west

playing at home and abroad yesterday. They
