PRESBYTERIAN ALLIANCE.
Proceedings of Yesterdays Session
at Washington.

WASHINGTON, Oct. "A feature
of the session to-day of the date and
place of holding the next council of
the an-Presbyterian alliance was the
attack made by the Rev. H. A. Nc
Dougall, editor of the Westminster of
Toronto, Canada, upon the program Of
the present council. He thought the
next council might we'll be postponed
for ten years.
1.-The stale, fiat and improbable
questions with which this council has
seemed concerned said he, 'have
been discussed at every council, and
long ago lost every particle of interest
for thoughtful and intelligent men. If
we are to face another lean and bar
rem program, 1910 would be better
date for the next council than five
years hence"
The alliance ratified the action of
the committee in selecting Liverpool,
England, as the place and 1904 as the
time of the next convention.
The interest at the first session to-
day was centered in the discussion of
the first two papers read by the Rev.
Dr. J. w. Beardslee of Holland, Mich
igan, on recent apologetic methods and
tendencies and the other by the Rev.
Principal Stewart, of st. Andrews,
Scotland, on "The Bible and Recent
Archaeological Discoveries"
The discussion was participated in
by some of the ablest men present, and
developed into an attack upon the
methods of the exponents of the So
called higher criticism"
Hon. Samuel Smith, a member of the
British Parliament, held that the elm
ination of the divinity of Christ would
leave to Christianity only few worth
less remnants upon which it would be
impossible to maintain a religious sys-
tenn. 1t ought to be we'll understood,
he thought, that the higher criticism
made only for Atheism and Sacerdola-
tism.
Rev. DR.. Gerbardt Of Lancaster, Pa,
declared that the Bible, being a unique
book, certifying itself to minds fitted
to discern its quality, only those who
possessed spiritual insight We're cap
able of passing proper light upon it.
DR.. Henry c. McCook agreed with
Mr.. Gerbardt in the opinion that be-
cause a man was an expert in science
it did not follow that he also was an
expert in that spiritual prescience nee
essary for a correct Interpretation Of
the Bible.

Award to Be- Read To-Day In Presence Of
British and Venezuelan Representatives.
Asserted on Good Authority That
Victory for the Claims of Great
Britain-The American Mem
bers of the Commission to Start
for Home Tomorrow.

PARIS, Oct 2-The Anglo-VeneZuela
Commission has risen, after concluding
it's deliberations. The award will be
read tomorrow in the presence of the
representatives of Great Britain and
Venezuela. The Secretaries are now
writing out the award, and have so no.
titled Messrs. Buchanan and RoJas.
1t is said on good authority that the
award will be a decided victory for
Great Britain.
After the court had risen a represen-
tative of the Associated Press called on
former President Harrison, who pro-
fessed ignorance as to how the award
would go. Mr.. Harrison did not seem
anxious regarding the subject
H. Vignaud, Secretary Of the Ameri-
can Embassy, who called upon Mr.
Harrison at the same time, said the
latter's argument was very much ap-
preciated by the court.
To this Mr.. Harrison replied: we
did our best in what / know is right
cause, but in an arbitration tribunal
such as this it is a toss up. 1t does
not resemble an ordinary tribunal, to
the judges of which it is absolutely i'm
material which party wins. / hold that
for international disputes there should
be a permanent arbitration court, as /
did when questioned on the subject,
and not men specially appointed for a
given object" IgS fg

Mr.. Roosevelt, and he started up de-
mand for facts only"
Well said Roosevelt. s1ast year ev-
cry nation in Europe but one was un-
friendly to us, and 1 think it only fair
to deduce that that one was friendly"
Mr.. Roosevelt proposed an amend
ment to the resolution expressing the
hope that a peace might be maintained
honorably to both countries.
Former Justice Augustus Van Wyck
spoke in favor of the passage of strong
resolutions. "Cowards never won lib
erty nor preserved it, declared ex-
Judge Van Wyck. 81 have never been
able for my own part to understand
the grievances in the Transvaal any
how, except, perhaps, that they wanted
the gold mines. If the richest gold
mines in the world had not been dis
covered there I don't imagine that
England would be anxious to get the
country"
The various conciliatory amendments
proposed were voted down, and finally
by a standing vote of go to 4S, the
original resolutions offered by Judge
Van Hosen were passed. The principal
resolution follows:
Resolved, That the Holland Society
of New York, composed exclusively of
descendants of Dutch Burghers resi-
dent in the Colony of New Netherlands
before 1865, sympathizing with the
Beers of the South African Republic
in their struggle for the maintenance
of their independence and autonomy,
earnestly appeal to the Government of
the United States to use it's good offices
with the Government of Great Britain
for the preservation of peace between
England and the Transvaal, and for
the sediment of the points in dispute
between these two nations in a manner
that will save to the South African
Republic the rights granted to it by the
convention of 1884"
It was decided that the society shall
take part in a public meeting to be
held in Cooper Union on October 9th.
Bourke Cochran and other prominent
orators will speak at this meeting.

Return of the Birds.

Many persons believe that birds, re-
turning to their summer quarters, are
the same that were at the same spots
the year previous; but exact proof is
rare. John B. Crowson of German
town, Pa, saw a robin struggle to get
free from some string in which it had
got entangled, resulting in a broken
leg. 1t was lame, accordingly. The
lame bird returned year after year to
the same spot. How they can retire
hundreds of miles, and yet return to
the same spot is truly wonderful
