GERMANY AND AMERICA.
Financial Relations Dependent Upon Frau
Ceres and John sherman.


BERLIN, May 81. Herr Siemens,
manager Of the Deutche bank, states
in an interview that the future financial
relations between Germany and the
United States will depend upon the
German harvest and the fate Of the
Sherman bill. If the drought
continued another fortnight Germany
must buy wheat and rye in Hungary,
Bulgaria and the United States at sell
lers' prices. Small private capitalists
in Germany have been frightened by
the unsettled state Of the American
market, and have withdrawn their or
ders for American securities; neverthe-
less, they arc hungry for such securities,
and instantly the silver question is
settled they will again invest in them.
II remains to be seen whether the
United States will be able to turn the
investment to good account and pay
regular and good interest, thereby Sc
curing the continued financial support
of GERMANY.

THE BRIGGS TRIAL.
The Defendant Speaks on His Own Behalf
In the Presbyterian General Assembly.

The Defendant Speaks on His Own Behalf
In the Presbyterian General Assembly.
WASHINGTON, May 81. - Yesterday
was the second day devoted to the nc
tual trial of Prof. Briggs before the gen.
eral assembly on the charge of heresy.
When DIR. Briggs, in closing his de-
Tense, solemnly challenged the court to
Judge him justly, the scene was most
impressive and even the most unrelent-
ing anti-Briggs men in the assembly
admitted that the alleged hereto had
made wonderfully strong presentation
of his case.
For considerable portion of his
time he followed the same lines OF argu-
mcnt that he used before the New York
presbytery, with such omissions and
additions as were necessary to make it
timely and pertinent.
His argument as he presented it was
not one that gave any chance for ora
torical effect. 1t was carefully-pre-
pared technical paper, which entered
deeply into the intricacies of the case.
Much of the address was taken
bodily from the defense" and this
DR.. Briggs had his friend, DR.. Brown,
of Union, read for him. DR.. Brown is
man of fine presence and magnificent
voice. While he read, the man whose
orthodoxy is the great question now
before the Presbyterian church sat
back in chair upon the platform and
took little needed rest.
The day was almost devoid of any
thing like sensational features. The
nearest Approach to this sort of thing
was when DIR. Briggs quoted Il sentence
from DR.. Lampe's address of Monday
and characterized it rs rank heresy
If there ever was heresy.
In the course of his remarks DR..
Briggs said:
LET me refer to a word spoken by
DR.. Lampe: He said, If | understood
him rightly, and / tried to take down
his exact words: we know nothing of
Christ save what we get in the Bible
story Dr. Lampe, sitting directly in
front OF the speaker. nodded his head
in confirmation Of the accuracy of the
quotation.) He admits it. Are you
ready to believe that, commissioners?
Do we learn and know nothing OF
Him through the personal relations
that we enjoy in the Lords supper. l
cannot subscribe to that doctrine. 1t
is rank heresy, il ever heresy was pro-
mulgated in the history of the church.
Turning TO the assembly and raising
his hands solemnly, DIR. Briggs con.
cludcd his defense rs follows:
~ have endeavored to explain my
views. hold them sincerely and with
all NY heart. hope they are set forth
in Holy Scripture. ! know many OF
them are set forth in the Westminster
confession. | challenge You before
God to judge me rightly and con-
scientiously. challenge You before
God to judge me according to the rec
ord. l challenge YOU before Jesus
Christ to do me justice in your judg-
ment."
Col. McCook then proceeded to close
the case for the appellants.

LOOKS SERIOUS.
Chinese Exclusion still u Matter of Serious
Consideration.

Chinese Exclusion Still Matter of Serious
Consideration.
WASHINGTON, May 3l.-The Chinese
question is still matter of serious con-
sideration by the president and his cab
met. The secretary of the treasury
and the Encouragement, together
with Assistant Secretary Hamlin, held
a short conference and discussed vari-
Gus law points.
The latest information received from
China is not calculated to be very as
surfing, while the news from the Pacific
coast indicates condition of affairs
there which BODIES no good to the Chi
nese in the event of a failure OF the
government 10 execute the Geary law.
In China the authorities have ordered
n report made on the number of Ameri-
cans in the provinces, paying particu.
lar attention to the missionaries and
Christian asylums.
AS there IRE no American laborers in
China it is not believed that retal iatory
measures can be taken for the deporta-
ton of Chinese laborers from the United
States. Americans in China are tour
lists, merchants or missionaries and the
laws of the United States apply only to
Chinese laborers.
The mere fact that a census OF Amer
leans has been taken is not comfortable
for those in China or their friends and
relatives in this country.
The situation in the United States is
fairly well understood there and it is
fortunate, perhaps, for us, that the i'm
preston prevails in the fiowery king
dom that at the coming session of con-
gress the Geary law will be repealed.
Should any number of Chinese in this
country be sent back to their districts
it is said that there is every danger OF
IN uprising in China against foreigners.
With these probabilities of trouble at
home and abroad, the declaration of
the president and his cabinet will be
directly understood. Not only lives,
but American commerce will be seri-
ously affected if the Geary law is strict
" complied with.
