and DR.. T. S. Childs, of Chevy Chase
church, Washington, wrote in the
Presbyterian.
Judging from the exariDa-
lions of students from Union
Seminary, Christ was not a work
err of miracles; he never called
Lazarus from his four days steep
in the grave: lie made no atone
ment for sin. It is Christianity
without a cross. Christ died as
Socrates did, martyr to his
ideals"
One of the commissioners of the
church was quoted as saying: "The
day for weak and futile protests
against the Union Seminary is past"
It is understood that the commission
ers are unanimous in the decision that
the general assembly must adopt a
more positive attitude against the in
stitution than it has in the past.
Celebrated Trial for Heresy.
The most celebrated trial for heresy
in this country in recent years was
that of a professor in Union Theo-
logical Seminary, DR.. Charles A.
Briggs. He was generally acknowl-
edged to be the most learned minister
in the Presbyterian church. He was
a deep student of the Bible, and in
one Of his many books were found
statements which appeared to deny
the inspiration of the scriptures. The
controversy waged fiercely for severa
months and in 1898, after trial, DR.
Briggs was suspended from the Pres
byterian church by the general assem-
bly, that was held in Washington.
DR.. Charles Little, of Wabash, Ind.
the retiring moderator. preached thu
opening sermon of the general as
sembly today. The sessions will con
tinue for a week or more, and, in ad
dition to the heresy investigation
many important business matters will
be taken up. These will include tn
further progress Of the unification an
consolidation of the administration
agencies of the church.

the same institution, are alleged to
be at the forefront of the teachers OF
the new theology which is distaste-
full to the more conservative Presby-
terians. For years bitter feeling
has existed between the Union Semi
nary and the New York Presbytery
on the one side and some of the west
ern Presbyterians on the other, en-
gendered by the alleged heretical
views of the New Workers. 1ndica-
lions are that the matter will be thor
oughly threshed out during the pres
emit national assembly, and it is
possible that the New York Presby-
terry may be dropped and the gradu-
ates of Union excluded from the Pres
byterian church. The Presbyterians
of San Francisco and Pittsburg are
leading in the heresy hunt, but 1t is
understood that they have the support
of delegations from all over the land.
New York Presbytery Cautioned.
The New York Presbytery was
cautioned" by the general assembly
last year, and advised to withhold
licenses from Union Seminary stu
doubts as to the verify of the bible
and the Deity of Jesus Christ. The
commissioners hoped at that time to
avert a trial in which the Presbyteri-
ans of the nation would necessarily
take opposing sides and which might
split the denomination into warning
sects. Though thoroughly provoked
at the licensing of ministers who de-
MED the miracles, the flood, the I'M
maculate birth of Christ, His physical
resurrection and other fundamental
precepts of the Presbyterian denonli-
nation, the commissioners hoped the
warning would be sufficient. That
other students of Uni0 who held ad
vanced views have been licensed
since the warning was given is not
denied by New York ministers. An
acrimonious controversy followed

REBELS OF HAYTI

PORT AU PRINCE, HAYTI, Aug.
2.-The capitol has been completely
invested by the revolutionists, and it
is probable that they will refuse de-
lay of three days asked for by Presi-
dent Simon to effect plans to secure
the capitol from pillage and will enter
the city Immediately.
1t Is probable also that President
Simon. who has consented to leave
the country, will be obliged to en-
bark for some foreign port. He issued
public proclamation declaring that
the revolutionists would have to
cross his dead body to wrest the
sword of authority from the hand in
which the nation had placed it.
There are sufficient soldiers in the
capital at present to maintain order
and the people here feel safe.
The diplomatic corps considers the
situation here as desperate, and took
active measures to prevent serious
trouble in the capital when the admin
istration falls, as It apparently must.
The ministers of France and Great
Britain have gone to Pertonville,
eight miles east of here and the Ger
man and Cuban ministers have gone
to Croix des Bouquets for the purpose
of comforting with the revolutionary
commanders at those places and OBJ
tanning from them a promise that the
city will be occupied without the trou

that has been waged between the adj
ministration of Mayor Peter Dowiat Of
Westville, the mining city Ave miles
out, and Frank H. Guthneck, editor
Of the Record OF the same city, result
ed in horse-whipping and riot.
Had 1t not been for revolver in the
hands of the irate but badly frighten-
ed editor, 1t is probable he would
have suffered rough treatment at the
hands Of the citizens of that place.
Guthneck has been at outs with
the administration for some months,
and since his daughter and her SWEET
heart were arrested two weeks ago
for kissing performance on the
streets. Guthneck has printed many
sarcastic things about the women of
Westville in his newspaper.
Shortly before noon four women,
who say Guthneck had used their
names, called on him. They waited in
front Of his office, and Guthneck says
one Of them had a horsewhip. He says
when he came out one of them grab.
bed him by the coat, knocked off his
glasses and the others attempted to
hold him while the whip was used.
He drew his revolver and threaten.
ed to shoot If not allowed to proceed
! The revolver cowed the women and
Guthneck went on his way. In the
meantime a crowd assembled and
they marched on Guthneck's residence
with the avowed intention of doing
him harm.
"A call was sent to Danville for the
sheriff, and when he and his deputies
reached Westville 1t was all they
could do to hold the crowd in check
Guthneck came to Danville and ap
piled for warrants for the arrest oi

The four women also made applica

will be issued.
Politics plays an important part il
