CATHOLICS AND BRIGGS'S BOOK

WHAT PRIESTS SAY OF BISHOP POTTER
STATEMENTS.
Bishop Potter has aroused considerable comment
among Roman Catholic cergymen In this city by
his letter concerning Dr. Briggs's book, THE In
PRODUCTION to the Study Of the Holy Scriptures IN
which he said: Eminent Roman Cathoilc SCHOLARS
of foremost rank In institutions Of learning OF fore-
most dignity have written to DR.. Briggs expressing
warmest appreciation Of his contribution 10 the
study Of the Bible and ntimatng their purpose "

Father Doyle, Editor of THE Catholic World :,
said he did not know Of any Roman Cathonc
scholar who had written to Or. Briggs the KIND OF
letter Bishop Potter had described, and he did not
think that Bishop Potter meant to convey the loea
that Dr. Briggs's book was used as textbook by
Biblical scholars In Catholic colleges He rather
thought that Bishop Potter meant to be understood
as saying that those men who have TO Keep IN
formed on all shades of religious thought appre-
sated The Intr0duGton to the study Of the Holy oily
Improbable that some Catholic scholars had writ
ten TO DR.. Briggs In that tone.
Father Murphy. OF St Francis Xayers College,
said DR.. Briggs's work could never be used as a
textbook in Catholic colleges, but agreed with
Father Doyle that it might be found useful as a
book of reference .
rurnor was in circulation Yesterday to the
effect that the Rev. Or. Benjamin F. De Costa and
other csrgymer who opposed the ordination OF
Or Briggs would be called together In conference
within the next few days and the question OF ac-
ton against Bishop Potter would probably be dis
cussed.
When a Tribune reporter saw DR.. De Costa yes
terday he declined discuss the ordination of DIT
Briggs. and said that he had nothing to say re,
garding possible conference of clergymen opposed
to DR.. Briggs He would not say whether or not
he knew that such conference would be held or

THE war between the Mexicans and

of Mexico is going merriiy on and the
latest advice show that while the In
dams are usually defeated, their losses
are not remarkably heavy The faquis
though of small stature, are 1.-the and
muscular, and are wholly Injured to the
intense heat OF the river districts while
the Mexicans are dying by the score
from heat prostration and kindred all
ments which follow in the wake OF a
tropical climate. The Iaqui's method
Of fighting in the jungle is much the
same as was that of the Indian Of the
western plains while their instruments
Of warfare are of the most primitive
kind. the bow and arrow being their
,,hief weapon of death
