OPPOSITION TO THE
ORDINATION OF BRIGGS
Episcopal Clergymen May Take a
United stand to Shut Out the
Ex-Presbyterian Minister.

NEW YORK. April 3O.-With each sue
ceeding day of uncertainty relative to the
action to be taken by Bishop Potter in
the matter of the proposed ordination Of
Rev. Charles A. Briggs, there is a deepen
ing of the opposition among the Episcopal
clergy to the admission to the priesthood
of the famous Presbyterian minister The
movement is contemplated for concerted
action to protest against the ordination
but it seems not to have taken we'll
defined form. From opinions expressed
by Episcopal clergymen the failure to
take a decided stand is based upon the be-
lief or hope that something will occur to
prevent success in the final step-that of
preferring charges of heresy against DIR.
Briggs. That step is generally depre-
Gated except as an extreme measure.
A prominent clergyman said to-day that
he felt convinced the admission of DR.
Briggs to priesthood would be imme-
diately followed by large defections to
the Catholic church. This opinion, he
said, was based upon conferences which
he had held with a large number of fell
low clergymen in this and other dioceses.

President Rogers In his address SAID
he had faith in the sincerity of Presi-
dent Mckinley. lie said the President
had declared that he desired to be gov
erned by the wishes of the people in
dealing with the Philippines. This be-
ing the case, he wished expressions of
opinion from both sides. He denied
that those who Iavor expansion have
a monopoly of patriotism, and he de-
MED that the United States has any
moral right to scoop in the Philippines.
Bishop Spalding of Peoria, ILL.,, said
in part:
we are, at present, in the midst of
crisis, in which lack of thought and de-
liberation may lead us far from the
ideals which as Americans, we have
most cherished, and expose us TO evils
of which we scarcely dream. We stano

vet too late to turn from the way which
leads through war and conquest TO nm
perialism, to standing armies, TO aIil-
ances with foreign powers, and, hnally
to the disruption of the Union ItseH. u

people will reconsider the whole question
of the complications in which our vlcto-
ries over Spain have involved us, ana

away by success is TO be weak ana TOOL
ish; or rather, since here the highest in
terests of humanity are at stake, is to be
wicked and criminal. If this may not
be. then the American people have degen-
Grated, they have lost their hold upon
the historical causes and the political
habits which led to the founding of our
institutions and to the marvellous growth
and prosperity of our country.
We shall not believe that the gain of a
few naval battles over a weak and un-
prepared foe have power to throw us into
such enthusiasm or such madness as to
turn us permanently from the principles
and policies to which we owe our ma
tional existence, our life and liberty; or
