HIS CONFESSION OF FAITH.

Believes.

DIR. Briggs Makes n Statement of What He
Believes.
When he had finished reading his written
argument yesterday DR.. Briggs made an ex-
tempore closing address, which, as it was in the
line Of confession of faith, was perhaps the
most striking incident in the course Of his long
defense. He referred to the omission by the
appellants from the printed volume which had
been circulated among the commissioners con-
tanning the record of the cnse, of the technical
questions which had been propounded to DIR.
Briggs by the directors OF Union Seminary.
These questions and answers were printed re-
Gently in THE STAR. When he had read these
questions and answers he dropped the manu-
script and turning to the assembly spoke earn
estly as follows:
''Mr. Moderator and brethren: The appellant in
the opening argument, as | have already init
mated entered into the merits Of the appeal
shall not attempt to go into that merit myself
except so far As to make an explicit denial OF
his statement when he charges me with teach
ing doctrines which are fundamental errors
deny that have ever taught any doctrines that
are fundamental errors. and my presbytery has
acquitted me. brethren, of teaching any funda-
mental errors.
Il affirm before this body that believe the
Holy Scriptures to be the word OF God the in
talllble rule of faith and practice according to
the vow that | assumed at nv ordination and
which have assumed every three years, accord
ing to the rule of the Union Theological Semi
nary. | affirm that hold to the whole doctrine
taught i'll the first chapter of the Westminster
confession relating TO Holy Scripture without
any qualification or reservation whatever.
IL beg leave to affirm that l hold to the en-
tire system OF doctrine set forth in the West
minister Confession. and ANYTHING that may

uttered. will not say that those misinterpre-
tations are always intentional. | shall not ex-
onerate myself from some possible blame in
lack OF clearness in enunciation OF them. But
l beg leave to affirm the truth that have made
no statement that at all conflicts with the at
frmations that have made before you.
IF have said anything in my inaugural that
has disturbed the peace OF the church or caused
any doubt or uncertainty aff}iction to even
the fceblcst of Gods children, regret it more
than any one else do. l have been
teacher of the Bible in the Union Theological
Seminary for twenty years.
There are only four members now teaching

two of them that nave taught more ministers

production of n single one of these ministers
that have been under nv instruction during he
past twenty years who can say that anything
that have taught him has undermined or di-
minished his faith in the divine authority of
Holy Scripture or his love for the Word Of God ~

cising the present Management under the Ae-
ricultural Department and suggesting . return
to the I'D system, when the bureau was under
the control Of the chief signal officer Of the
army, 10 regarded In Washington a. . farce.
There is reason to believe that the investiga-
ton was instigated, not with . view 70 improv-
ing the bureau, but solely to create prejudice
against the present chief, in order to prepare
the way for the reassignment Of Gen. A. W.
Greedy to his old position. The weather
bureau was taken out Of the jurisdiction Of the
War Department and placed under that Of the
Secretary OF Agriculture largely on account Of
the conviction in Congress that since the re-
tirement OF Gen. Myer the conduct Of the
bureau by army officers had been marked
chiefly by ineficiency. Secretary Rusk placed
at the head scholar and expert meteorological
who had raised the standard steadily ever since
his incumbency, and who is criticised now ON
account Of the leniency which he is charged
with showing to certain unfit subordinatss The
charges were brought by discharged employA
The practical workings Of the bureau are adj
mitted to be at higher grade than ever before.
The act Of Congress transferring the bureau,
however, left . loophole by which the Secretary
OF Agriculture is permitted to ask for the de-
tail Of the chief signal officer to take charge Of
the bureau. and it is believed that Secretary
Morton will avail himself Of the privilege IN
order to reinstate Gen. Greely.

Another Passage Of Words Between Coup.
sci I'm the Paris Tribunal.
Sir Charles Russell continued his argument in
behalf Of the British case at Paris yesterday
before the Boring sea tribunal Of arbitration.
He argued against the United States for
bidding foreigners to catch seals
outside Of territorial waters. and
he put emphasis on the statement that
American law even today does not make seal
ing outside Of Boring sea illegal Forty-n
American vessels were engaged in sealing in
the Pacific in 1892 and forty-eight in 1891 The
United States alone regarded pelagic sealing %
wrong inside Boring sea-
what is wrong in one place" exclaimed
Sir Charles Russell, sis wrong everywhere"
Sir Charles Russell's statement that the
American pieaders had cited the official
report Of MIR. H. W. Elliott on his
observations in 1s72-73. caused an exciting
passage between counsel. which served 70 re-
lieye the otherwise monotonous character of
the session.
Mr.. J. c. Carter interposed with the asser-
ton that the counsel for the United States had
avoided all reference to Mr. Elliott.
Sir Charles Russell: THAT is an awkward
admission, seeing that the United States Con-
gress appointed Mr.. Elliott q commissioner
after the controversy began"
In reply to the president. Baron do
Courcel, Mr.. Carter explained that he mis-
trusted Mr.. Elliott because Mr.. Elliott gave
theories and not facts and therefore counsel for
the United States objected to being represented
as citing him.

WITHDRAWN FROM COMPETITION.
Seventeen Foreign Countries Dissatisfied

Seventeen Foreign Countries Dissatisfied
With Plan of Awards At the Fair.
1t was 2:3O O'Clock yesterday afternoon before
the national commission Of the Chicago expo-
sition was called to order, forty-seven members,
eight short of quorum, being present Acorn
munication was received from Director General
Davis inclosing letter signed by the commits
sioners of seventeen of the foreign countries
withdrawing their exhibits from any competi-
ton for awards.
The foreign countries say that as the answer
to their communications referring to Jury Of
awards has not been satisfactory. and in ante
of reiterated demands made by several of the
commissioners more than year ago, they are
yet In possession Of no information about its
final organization. They now consider 1t too
late for an international jury to be constituted,
and therefore withdraw their exhibits.
The letter is signed by the commissioners
from Austria, Belgium. Brazil. Denmark.
France, Germany, Great Britain, Italy. Japan,
Norway. Portugal. Russia, Siam, Sweden and
Switzerland.
The reception Of the communications caused
prolonged discussion in regard to their proper
disposal. Mr.. st. Clair Of West Virginia said
tne matter was serious one, and the EXPOSE
ton was threatened by it. If the matter were
not settled quickly it would result he thought
In lasting impairment of the fair and bring
disgrace upon the country.
aiter some discussion II was finally agreed to
refer communications to the committee on
awards.
SUNDAY OPENING.
The Sunday opening question was brought
before the committee as unfinished business
No definite action was taken, which allowed the
minority report favoring Sunday opening to
stand. and SO far as the national commission is
concerned the fair will open Sunday.
The first shot in the Sunday opening fight has
been fired. United States District Attorney
Miichrist, following conference with Attorney
General Olney in this city, has sent a lengthy
telegram of instructions to Assistant District
Attorney Hand in Chicago.
That official has already begun the work Of
drawing up a bill for injunction restraining the
worlds fair officials from opening the gates
Sunday. The application for an injunction will
be filed in the United States district court rs
soon as completed. Yesterday afternoon Mr..
Hand said: Congress provided for Sunday
closing without giving the commission any dis
cretionary power in the matter. This is the
stand We will take. What the district court
will decide is a question. We expect to file the
bill In time to secure an injunction, which will
close the gates this Sunday. It viii be di-
rected to both directory and commission

COURTESY To DIR. BRIGGS.
Mr.. McCook made slight depression to re-
fer to DR.. Briggs allegations that he had not
been treated with courtesy by the committee
The committee. he said, had no word of ex-
PLANTATION or apology to make for anything it
bad done, for 1t had done its duty only to the
Presbyterian Church, whichit Represented, aud
to guard it against what the committee consid-
cred fundamental error. The committee had
been attacked in the press. Neverexcept upon
the floors Of this church, had member Of this
committee given expression to his views or
ideas. They had held that they represented
the Presbyterian Church, and they felt that il
there was any criticism they should have to
bear it until the Presbyterian Church had
given its final decision and said whether
the committee had done its duty or not
He read the curt letter which Dr. Briggs had
written to the committee of investigation of
the New York presbvtery declining to meet
them in conference because they we're ap-
pointed to investigate the inaugural address
and not himself.
Mr.. McCook then went on with an account
Of the proceedings Of the presbytery showing
how the regularity of the committee and its APP
poIntment had been constantly recognized by
that body.
THE POWERS OF THE COMMITTEE.
He described the peculiar position of pres
bytery when it initiated judicial proceeding.
Then the whole Presbyterian Church became
the prosecutor at the bar of the presbytery.
The power to appoint the prosecuting commit
tee did not give the presbytery control over
the committee. He likened the case to that of
the appointment by the President of United
States judges. The Book of Discipline stated
that the prosecuting committee was to conduct
the prosecution in all its stages. If it WAS to
be considered as creature of the presbytery,
subject to its control, it would have
no power beyond the bounds of the
presbytery. The power to appeal was as
necessary part OF the prosecution as the
committee was. The sections of the Book of
Discipline quoted by Mr.. McCook in reference
TO the standing of the prosecution committee
were as follows:
Sec 10. When the prosecution is initiated by
judicatory the Presbyterian Church in the
United States of America shall be the prose
cutor. and an original party in all other cases
the individual prosecutor shall be an original
party.
Sec. II. When the prosecution is initiated by
judiciary, it shall appoint one or more of its
own members committee to conduct the pros
ecusion in all its stages in whatever judiciary,

TIME FOR DEBATE
When Col McCook closed, DIR. Baker, the
chairman OF the judicial committee. offered 3
resolution that two hours be allowed to mem
bers Of the iudicatory and that ten minutes be
allowed each person and fifteen minutes to the
persons during the debate on each side.
Mr.. Endaly moved to amend by inserting the
word one hour instead Of two.
Dr. Thomas c. Hail moved an amendment
that the case be referred to the synod OF New
York for final adjudication.
After some DISCUSSION DIR. Hall withdrew his
amendment with the understanding that there
would be opportunity afforded to bring up that
question
Dr. Herrick Johnson said that it seemed to
him that after the long argument this court
should be limited to two hours for conference.
He thought the whole motion injustice that
they should now in the supreme moment be
cut off in debate.
Dr. Baker said he had no intention to Gu. of
debate.
Dr. Dickey said he had no ambition himself
to discuss the case. He had, however, voted
TO give five hours to the parties, with the
understanding that the house should have at
least the same time. They had listened to
argument for eight hour, the one topic, as
70 whether this should not so back TO the
synod. He thought they could better spend
'hcir time at this point 20 find ont the best way
! to find peace. If they were going to confine
the debate 20 two hours. see how few men would
&c gIvea an opportunity
On motion of Col. John b. Compton Of Erle
presbv.cry the motion amended SO as to
extend tie time to four hours.
DR.. Baker stated that under the book of
discipline al speakers. including those who
closed the debate, would be limited to ten min
utes.
The motion as amended was adopted.
The assembly then adjourned until this
morning. but not until Mr.. Cutcheon had Sc
on -eH n frrv, ho nda
that opportunity would be given to offer an
amendment to the motion to entertain the ap-
peal providing for referring the case back to the
synod.

MONTERREY DISABLED.
Boilers of the Coast Defense YES.
sci Said TO Be Weak.

Boilers of the Coast Defense Ves-
sci Said TO Be Weak.
VALLEJO, Cal, April 29.-The big
coast defense vessel, Monterey, still lies
helpless in the stream below Mare
island lighthouse. The story that she
was disabled by four large fishing nets
having fouled her propeller has been
thrown aside, and another is in circula-
tion which makes the trouble far more
serious. 1t is said that the boilers of
the great fighting machine are leaking
so badly that steam cannot be kept up,
and that the Union Iron works, which
built the vessel, has large gang of
workmen aboard her trying to patch up
her weak points. The story further
goes that the Monterey was taken down
the stream to the untreQuented water
where she now lies so that her boilers
could be tested and repaired without
the facts becoming public property.
Nobody is allowed to go aboard or hold
communication with the ship, but 1t is
certain that there is something wrong,
and there is good reason to believe that
the trouble is with her boilers. 1t is
said that a board of inquiry, under
orders from Secretary Herbert, will
visit the Monterey today to examine
her boilers and machinery.

and aldermen. At the end of this func-
tinn President Palmer Otficlated i'll a
like capacity for the members of the
worlds fair commission, at the same
time presenting TO his grace an open

Then Gov. Altgeld and the members of
his staff filed up the corridor and into
the apartment. after which the recep-
ton became informal, and the duke
shortly afterward went to dinner.
