The Innerancy If the Scriptures Attacked
by Prominent New York MetAodists.
New YORK. March S.-That the Sin
nerancy and the i%nfallibilitv of the Bible
are no longer possible Of belief among
reasoning men," This proposition was
urged in all force, sincerity and enthu-
siasm 10y Rev. S. P. Cadman. pastor Of
the Metropolitan Temple. before the
regular weekly meeting of the Metho-
dist ministers of New York.
Four hundred of the leading ministers
of New York and its vicinity. including
the popular Edward G. Andrews, were
present when Mr.. Cadman's paper was
read. He was %applauded when he got
through.
Mr.. Cadman's paper was II of a SER
les on Bible criticism. This bold, pre-
tentious misunderstanding the most
radical departure from accepted tenets
of the Methodist church since its foun-
dation-was made before the most rep
resentative body of Methodist clergy in
America. 1t included the vast majority
Of the preachers of Greater New York.
May Shake the Church.
1t is the first announcement OF ar inn
pending controversy which may shake
the Methodist church to its foundation.
The acceptance of DR.. Cadman's prop
osition, heard with respect and applause
by the New York ministers. is compare
bic to the suggestion Of a new constitu-
ton for the United States. 1t places
the Bible on the basis of historical
works on other than divine subjects; it
rejects the authenticity Of all parts of
the holy scripture which are repugnant
to human reason. The speaker referred
chiefly to the Old Testament, half of
whose pages. he said, were of unknown
authorship. The New Testament, like
wise, contained contradictions. The
Bible. the church. the ministry, he said,
We're agencies. The true source of in
SEPARATION was neither a book, nor a
church. nor a ministry. but the living
Christ himself.
NJ. Cadman insists that whatever the
church may decide on the question in
the future it will not destroy the belief
in the chief and final source of Christian
inspiration. a belief in Christ. the son
of God

question of determination. The islands
are too far away for such a policy. even

With a view to a dangerous operation
to be performed upon the kaiser.
Since his childhood the emperor, has
been afflicted with a malady of the ear
known BY the name of otitis media,
which is the same that brought about
first the insanity and then the death of
his grand uncle, King Frederick Will

discharge from the ear affected, and
which necessitates almost the entire
right ear of the kaiser being concealed
with mass of cotton. He is free from
pain only so long as the discharge con-
tinues. and it has long been apparent
to his family and to his medical adj
visers that unless something were done
to check the malady 1T would, as in the

Manila, Nov. 1.-THE United States

was wrecked on q reef on the northwest

board were saved.
! Washington. Nov. A.-The Charles
ton had been in Asiatic waters for
more than a year She was one OF the
first vessels to be sent to Manila after
the destruction of the Spanish fleet by
Admiral Dewey. the navy department
utilizing her for the purpose of sending
ammunition and other supplies for the
Asiatic station. Just previous to that
duty she had undergone an overhauling
at the Mare Island navy yard, San
Francisco. and therefore was in prime
condition. The Charleston is one Of the
vessels Of more recent construction
and belongs to that class which is COM
monty referred to as the new navy"
She has q full complement Of officers
and crew. The naval register issued
at the beginning OF the year gives her
commander as Capt. William III. Whit
ing, and her lieutenant commander was
Gottred Blockinger. Assistant Score
tary Allen is acting secretary during
the absence Of Secretary Long. 1t was
stated at his home that no messages
had been received by him during the

CHINESE AND PHILIPPINES.
Commission Considering
Application of Exclusion Act.


Application of Exclusion Act.
Washington, Nov. IA. Whether
Chinese exclusion should be applied to
the Philippines is among the subjects
engaging the attention of the Philip
pine commission. Considerable evidence
bearing on the matter has been coll
lected and besides presenting this tes-
timony with their full report, it is ex-
pected that a recommendation will be
made which may have considerable in
tiuence in shaping the course of this
government and the action OF congress.
1t is understood that two ofothe MEM
sbers OF the commission, Messrs. DENLY
and Worcester, have expressed them
selves as favorable to an application of
the Chinese exclusion act to the Phil
ippines. From the fact that Gen. Otis
has issued an order for Chinese exclu-
sion, it is assumed that his voice, as
member of the commission, also would
be for Chinese exclusion in the Philip
pines. The position of Admiral Dewey,
however. is understood to be favorable
to Chinese admission. While this per-
sonal view of the admiral has been ex
pressed to friends, 1t is not known
whether he would give 1t official ex-
preston in case all his colleagues on
the commission favored a recommends
ton of exclusion. The attitude of Pres
ident Schurman has not been made
known, even in an informal way.
The exclusion question is involved to
some extent with the inquiries which
the United States is now making of
other powers as to the maintenance of
an open-door policy in China. 1t was
stated yesterday in an authoritative
diplomatic quarter that in case the
United States adopted a permanent
policy of Chinese exclusion in the Phil
ippines there was little doubt that such
a course would cause China to be less
friendly in her cooperation with the
plans of the United States to extend
our trade in the empire.
