DR.. Briggs, Trial Opened.

WASHINGTON, D. G., May 26.-Moderator
Craig convened the assembly as a court.
Rev. George D. Parker, chairman, reported
recommended the prosecuting committee be
allowed one hour to open its case; that five
hours be given Prof. Briggs, and that the
committee be given two hours in which to
close, to be extended, if desired, to four
hours. After some preliminary, DR.. W. F.
Birch, chairman of the prosecuting commit
tee, commenced the argument. After touch
ing on the history of the case, DR.. Birch
said the general assembly entertained the
appeal of the committee on prosecution and
sent down decree to the presbytery of New
York defining the limits of its liberty with
respect to this case. The decree of the gen.
eral assembly ordered the presbytery to try
the case upon it's merits and to give 1t the
liberty to amend the Indictment in accord
ance with the general nature of the same.
Thus the presbytery was free only to exam
inc the charges, weigh the testimony and de-
eide to sustain or not sustain. 1--WE are
here" continued he, ito invoke the supreme
court to put an end to the dissension and
disputation which the New York presbytery
have vainly endeavored to silence, first by
the dismissal of the case against DIR. Briggs,
and second by the acqulttal of DR.. Briggs,
qualifying both dismissal and acqulttal by
positive disclaimer of any approval of the
controverted statements of the inaugural ad-
dress as to the critical or theological views
and the manner of expression. The form in
which the final Judgment of the presbytery
was returned gives the impression that no
essential doctrine has been contradicted. The
errors charged are fundamental. The ques-
ton of what is really the Presbyterian doc
trine is to be answered, not for ourselves
alone, but for all American Presbyterians,
both now and for solre years to come, and
must be answered by the whole church"
He concluded thus: "Hence your appellant,
in the name of the historic, orthodox, evan
gelical, constitutional, missionary Presbyte-
ran branch of the church, beseeches this
venerable church to bless the church and the
world and to exercise its authority in
crisis"
DR.. Briggs stated the question before the
ings were proper, but whether or not an ap-
peal could be lawfully entertained. He as
serted that the final judgment of the pres
bytery in the case was really declared by the
New York presbytery on December 80, 1892,
and from that an appeal should be taken,
and not from the action on January 8, 1890.
If any man thought these objections were
puer;Ie and technical let him put himself in
his place. If this appeal should be sus-
tanned it would become an unfortunate pre-
cedent which would imperil the constitution
by an unending series of heresy trials and
result in changes in the doctrine and the law
of the Presbyterian church. DIR. Briggs
spoke an hour and half.

Quite a General Improvement.

NEW YORK, May Or. g. Dun & Co.'s
weekly review of trade Is as follows:
In two ways there has been quite gen.
eral improvement during the past week.
Better weather throughout most of the coun-
try has stimulated the retail trade and q
large distribution of goods made the job
bing trade more active. Monetary anxieties
have curiously abated at many widely sepa-
rated points. The large loans, solicited here
week or two ago, to provide for extra
emergencies in different cities, have not
been wanting, and threatened failures at
several points have passed without causing
much disturbance. Yet the actual condi-
tons do not seem to have changed materl-
ally. The large demands for rediscounts
and advances by western and southern banks,
although considerably abated, have been
greater than the eastern banks could wholly
meet. There is no definite improvement in
financial affairs abroad and the prospect for
the continued outgo of gold for some time
to come has not altered. Speculative mar
kets show paratively less activity. Stocks
have fallen off to some extent from the rapid
recovery of last week, the average being
about 81 per share lower than a week ago.
Wheat and corn are both at the same
prices as week ago, although western re-
ceipts of wheat in four days have been 1902
100 bushels, and the Atlantic exports, 1906,
597. Corn receipts have been very large
with insignificant exports. Mess pork is 25
cents higher, but other hog products is a
shade lower, and while coffee advanced &c,
oil declined l cent. A natural decline is
seen in dairy products and potatoes. Cotton
is also Is lower, although receipts have been
smaller and exports larger than for the
same week last year, but the enormous
stocks IN sight are not diminishing more
rapidly than is usual at this season.
Shipments of shoes continue to exceed
last years.
In iron manufactures, new freight rates
from the south affect prices largely at points
not on the seaboard, but bar iron is at the
lowest point on record, plates are dull and
competition for all manufactured products
are exceedingly keen with prices quoted in
some cases below actual cost at most of the
works. Imports are still large, for three
weeks in May exceeding last years by nearly
Sc, COO 900, but the exports somewhat in
creased and for three weeks show light
gain.
Business failures of the last seven days
were 273 compared with 261 the week before.
The corresponding week of the last year the
fiOures wero 1913

ATTORNEY General Olnev,s Ide..

WASHINGTON, D. c.. May N.-After dis
cussing the general feature of the Sunday
question, Mr.. Olney was asked for his per-
sonal views on the Sunday closing of the
fair He said: ''As an officer of the gov
eminent my business is to see that the law
is executed as find it. But I am free to
say that if I had made that law would
never have put that Sunday closing feature
in it. In my Judgment the exposition au-
thorities ought to have right to keep the
exposition open as they see fit." This direct
and positive statement from the attorney
general, although wholly his personal and
not his 'fofficial' view, may be highly i'm
portant in directing the future course of
events on the Sunday question.

EeaRt for FakirS.

The great crowds at the outside of worlds
fair on Sunday was in a large measure
doubtless due to an ill-defned hope that the
closing order might be revoked during the
day. Many doubted the truth of the an
nouncement that the fair would be closed
until denied admittance by the gate keepers.
The fakirs fiourished as never before. The
crowd had money and not being able to
spend it in the exposition they turned to the
cheap amusements in the vicinity. Hun
dreds of shouters yelled themselves hoarse
and rendered the day hideous in their efforts
70 secure their share of the golden harvest.
As night drew near the rush for home began
and for two hours every means of Transport
tatiou was tested to its fullest capacity.

Passenger Traffic Manager Whita, of the
Santa Fe, sent word to Chairman Caldwell,
of the Western Passenger association, that,
May q, he will put into effect the following
rates: Round trip from Missouri river to
Chicago, $3.50; round trip from Denver to
Chicago $3.50; present rate of $40 from
Colorado common points to Missouri river
points will be sustained. Mr.. Whites letter
declares that in view of the considerate treat
ment received by the Atchison from the
Kansas City-St. Louis lines during the long
controversy over Colorado rates, the Atchi-
son believes these lines should be allowed to
determine the proper reduction in St Louis
rates. Consequent upon the notice issued
by the Atchison, the Atchison therefore says
it will make q rate from Colorado common
points to st. Louis of $32. This rate Is made
up of the $40 round trip rate to Kansas City

Catbolic and Anti-Catholic

DAVENPORT, IA, May 30.-The Iowa Catholic
Messenger, weekly paper with circulation
of 5000 in this region, created great senss-
ton by the publication from a man named
Quackenbush, purporting to be complete
expose of the secrets of that anti Catholic
organization. He claims to have been q
member and to be actuated by desire for
revenge.
In connection, he gives a list Of half Q
hundred Davenporters claimed to be men,
bers of the organization. The publication
caused intense excitement.
The Catholics are angered at the men thus
named as their avowed enemies, and the
latter are not less excited. Many of them
are not members, and they are filing the
papers with afidavits to that effect, and
threaten the Messenger with damage and
libel suits.
Already the Catholics have served notice
on a number of these men that they will
sover business relations with them, and per-
sonal encounters are expected. Quacken-
bush edited an American Protective associa-
ton paper in Rock Island. He disappeared
from Davenport before the article appeared.

Arbitration Board Proposed.

TOPEKA, May N.-It is possible that the
two governors of Kansas and Missouri, to-
gether with the labor commissioners of those
two states, will be called upon a. an arbitra-
ton board to adjust the differences between
the coal miners and the operators in the
Cherokee district. State Labor Commits
sloner Todd, after holding long confer
ence with Governor Lewelling, left for the
scene of the strike trouble.
When asked about the probability of his
being called upon to act as an arbitrator in
behalf of the strikers, the governor said he
had not yet received an invitation of that
character and did not know that he would.
It is understood, however, that Governor
Lewelling and Governor Stone, of Missouri,
will be called upon within a few days to act
In that capacity.

and left for. California. A decision on the
charges against the accused officers will not
be made until the full board meets in the

Before leaving a prominent member of
the board said Surgeon Weaver stands sus-
pended as heretofore for the present, and
that the testimony did not seem to warrant
the suspension of Governor Smith. Most
damaging testimony was introduced but it
is all kept profound secret for the present.
