TRIAL OF DR. BRIGGS.
The New York Presbytery Ia
Heard on the Matter.
DEFENDANT ANSWERED BY MOOoK.

DIR. Briggs, in Closing, Makes n Pathetic
Plea For Justioe-A Prayer For the
President Report on Inspiration Of
the Bible.
WASHINGTON, May 31.-At the gem
eral assembly the members Of the New
York presbytery were given the floor,
and addresses pro and con were made
by several OF the shining lights of that
synod on the action Of that body Of the
Briggs case.
In concluding his address DR.. Briggs
said al challenge you before God to
Judge me rightly and congcientiously.
/ challenge you before God TO judge me
according TO the record. | challenge
you before Jesus Christ to do me justice
in your judgment.
Colonel McCook. for the appellants,
claimed that the case before the presby-
terry was one of fact and not Of law;
that the charges contained only matter
which the defendant admitted having
uttered, and that the verdict should
have been guilty. The case was one
which could not be decided by occasional
polemics on Presbyterian doctrine, but
must be decided by the highest tribunal
in accordance with the constitution and
standards Of the church. The speaker
traversed anew the grounds Of the
teachings of the defendant and asserted,
| despite the latter's avowals and explains
tiOns, that they were in opposition to
| the Holy Scriptures and confession OF
| faith and, therefore, gross error in the
eye of the church. He also asserted
| that the doctrines at issue were essential
Notwithstanding Professor Briggs dec
laration of opinion to the contrary.
| After adopting resolution expressing
the gratitude of the members of the as
sembly to the patriotic dead for their
services and reverence of their memoir
les and singing America, the assembly
was notified that so far there had been
no special prayer for the president Of
the United States and the great Con
catenated government" which he rep.
resented. This prayer was then offered
by Professor Brown.
DR.. Young, chairman of the commit
tee on bills and overtures, reported the
following: "The general assembly re-
affirms the overture of the deliverance
of the assembly of 1892 touching the in
spiration of Holy Scripture, viz: Thai
the original Scriptures of the Old and
New Testaments, being Immediately In
spired of God, were without error; and
in so doing, declares that the said de-
liverance enunciates no new doctrine
and imposes no new test of orthodoxy,
but interprets and gives expression II
what has always been the belief of tn
church taught in the Westminster con
fession Of faith.

For the Purchase OF silver Amended
WASHINGTON, Ian. l7.-The Senat

have been in obedience 10 the pressure
Of the honest money men of the coun
try for some legislation tending t.
lessen the evils resulting from the
continued purchase OF silver bullion.
The postponement Of the time for the
suspension will, some members believe
lessen The opposition TO the silver men.
But they fear that the amendment in.
creasing the national bank note circu-
lation will prevent the opposition fall
ing of so muck as its absence might
do.
Senator Mcpherson is not without
hope Of passing the repeating act. lie
thinks there is a good chance Of its
passing the House, and he said to-day
that at least fourteen Democratic SEN
ators could be depended on to vote
with the Republicans for the repeal
On the other hand Senator Teller
said: You may state in your most
