tal Dr. Birch said that this was equiralent to a. claim that apart of the church waa ereater than the whole. Continuing he aaia: The tittlug of this venerable court to-day. In thUcity. tbe capital or the Nation. Is due to tbe tact that it took treaure and blood to establish llo truth that sucli a doctrine In oar political ysteru was nothing than treason against tho trovernineut. bo does this court know that

he who teaches the power or the Oene rai Assembly caa bo nullified by the will of aHuglo presbytery lift tho banner of treao t aaloettho presbytery and church. With all respect to the accused la t ila case I am ready to say that LU personal interest Is as nothing in comparison to the Interest of the church, in whoo name he has teen teaching. Tho question, what Is rfaily Presbyterian doctrine, 1 to be answered, not for ourselves aloue. but for all American l'rea-bytt-rin. Ikhu now and Tor some years to come, fci.diuudt be answered by tho whole churcn. lit Doe your appellant, as the spokesman of hundreds of thousands of Presbyterians, in the Dime of law and order, of denominational loyalty, of Scripture, precept and biblical example, in the name or the hUtorle, orthodox, evangelical, constitutional, missionary, I'resbyteriau branches of tho church, beseeches thH venerable court to blej the church and the world, and to exercise It authority In a crisis so momentous as to make every plea for a delay of Judgment out of order. Thus your honorable body will protect 'tir communion from what one of your number. Dr. Herrick Johnson, has called the peril of a broaine9 that would empty our souls of conviction and our lives of victory. Dr. llriggs's Speech. At 3:15 o'clock Dr. Brtgis arose to reply to the opening of the prosecuting committee and to protest against the entertaining of the appeal by the General Assembly, lie stated the question and quoted the law which prohibits tho employment of professional counsel in such cases, saying that If permitted to co so he would have employed such professional -counsel for tho reason that it was doubtful if he could present bis case as it should be done. This I ituation was one that was foreed upon him by the book of Discipline, which made It necessary for him to rise above personal considerations, and to appear as the attorney for Dr. Briggs. The question before the assembly was not, he said. whether or not Dr. Uriggs'a teachings were defensible, bnt whether or not the appeal could he lawfully entertained. The law of the case at this stage forbade the consideration of its merits, and he expressed regret that the nroseoution had not observed this law. The same law constrained the commissioners or Judges not to consider the controversies in question at this time, but simply to determine the legality of the appeal. Dr. Uriftgs went on to argue that the form of the appeal was incorrect, and that there were many things in it which must be removed before tbe General Assembly could entertain it. He also pointed out matters included in the appeal which, he said, rendered it invalid. Dr. Briggs asserted in the next place that the hnal judgment of the presbytery in his case was really declared by the moderator of the New York Presbytery on Deo. SO, 1SV2, and from that appeal should be taken, if from any action of the presbytery, and not from the action in January, lbVS. lie was not to be exposed to the perils that lay in a possible change of composition of the body in the Interim, nor pus ia jeopardy a second time because of a mistake by the court which tried him at a date subsequent to that on which the tiual lodgment was really delivered. If any man thought these objections were puerile and technical let him pat himself in his place. Why should he waive any of his rights when the prosecution was endeavoring to take his eoclesiastical life? The second ground upon which the appellee opposed the entertaining of the appeal was that it wraa a well established principle of law that a public prosecutor could not appeal from a verdict of acquittal. Upon the question of the standing of a minister charged with heresy. Dr. Briggs said, there was no course open but to remain in fellowship with the church until deposed after trial. A much more fundamental question was at stake, said Dr. Briggs, than any principle of law or doctrine than had yet been discussed. That was whether the Presbyterian Church should be considered as a merely voluntary religious society or a church of Jesus Christ. It was the civil law of the land, he said, that no man should be tried twice for the same otl'ense. The New York Presbytery, under orders of the General Assembly, tried Dr. Briggs for the crime of heresy and acquitted him. Waa the Presbyterian Church ready to iguoro or violate that well settled principle, found by centuries of observation and experience to be essential to the well being of the people, without good and suilicieut cause? It was true the ehurch did not punish a minister in his physical being, but to depose a minister, to deprive him of his ecclesiastical life, was to intlict a punishment far more cruel than that permitted in the civil courts. THE LAW OF APPEALS. Dr. Brigas then discossed the law of appeals. This, he asserted, could be in voked only by parties original to the case and aggrieved parties. The new Book of Discipline did not contain the word ag grieved, he admitted, but in spirit the right of appeal was confined to those who were aggrieved. Was a prosecuting com mittee such an aggrieved party as to war rant it in appealing from an adverse judgment? He asked the committee hud he no right of appeal, and an appeal by such a committee could not be entertained by the General Assembly witbout a violation of all chnreh law and precedent. To entertain euoh an appeal would bo for the assembly to enter into conflict with nil experience and perpetrate a wrong which no court in the land would refuse to right. If it were lawful to appeal every case of doctrine and law brought before the courtof presbytery, it would compel the General Assembly to finely determine all these doctrinal aud legal questions. If this appeal ehould be sustained, it would become an unfortunate precedent which would be followed by publio prosecutors hereafter who would, in many cases, if not in most cases, magnify their otlice and bring differences of opinion before the supreme court of the church, and thus establish anew and easy way for ambitions litigants to secure- authoritative decisicus of the General Assembly in many matters of faith and morals, of life and work, which were now regarded as legitimate matters of private opinion, and thus imperil the constitution by an unending series of heresy trials, and result in changes in tho doctrine and law of the Presbyterian Church. It was possible that a majority of the General Assembly might make an unconstitutional decision, and that there might be a series of decision of questions of doctrine and morals in contravention of the doctrinal and ecclesiastical standards. What coarse should a synod, or a presbytery, or a minister pursue in such a case? They might be justified in saying: "We refuse to submit to the decisions of this unrighteous majority. We shall continue to maintain our constitutional rights. In the next heresy trial we Joule for a righteous verdict." Unless the high court of the General Assembly should net in strict accordance with the forms of law and upon constitutional church, and with the sacred rights of man as set forth in Holy Scripture and our national Constitution. it would be no rebellion of the minority in the church to continue the struggle against unrighteouscess and wrong, hoping for better times. The General Assembly could not lawfully revise or amend the constitution by final judgments in heresy trials. The publio prosecutors were pushing the Presbyterian Church into a very inconsistent and dangerous position. They were endeavoring to eecuie new definitions of dogma by liual judgment in a heresy trial, when they ought to aim to secure them by overtures in accordance with the provisions of the form of government.: Tho form of government prescribed their paths, not the Book of Discipline. Dr. Brigcs spoke for an hour and a half and then yielded for a luotiou to adjourn. Prenbf terle ti Vote on t Tie Woman Oaeatlon. Littlk Kock, Ark., May 24. The Cumberland Presbyterian assembly to-day set tied the woman question by the ml option of tho committee report to submit to the presbyteries an atlirmative and a negative proposition on the question.

The report called atten tion to the alarming falling oil in contributions for home mission purposes and appealed strongly to the church.

Sixty-Ninth Annual Mretloc of the Publication Society A Gambler's Courtesy. Denver. CoL. May 24. The sixty-ninth annual meeting of the American Baptist Publication Society was formally opened this morning, with Edward Goodwin, of Chicago, in the chair, in the First Baptist Church, where last evening the conventions of the Women's Baptist Foreign Mission Association were brought to a close. Men about town were amazed this morning to see a noted confidence man and gambler piloting a party of delegates to their destination, and at the same time takius great pains to point out every object of interest. Later an acquaintance took the liberty to jeer at him for thie and narrowly escaped a threshing. "I want you to understand," said the ex-confidence man and gambler, "that I am a Baptist," but quickly correotiog himself, and in a subdued tone added, "at least my mother was.' After the opening exercises, the Rev. Montague, of Colorado be rings, was introduced to the meeting and extended to tbe society the welcome of the State of Colorad a Dr. Goodwin responded, thauking the Doctor for the kind hospitality of the citizens of Denver. Committees were appointed, after which the report of tbe board of managers waa read in brief by Dr. Griffith, of Philadelphia, recording secretary of the society. Tne receipts of tbe book department for sales, etc.. were t&J.&ftWl or 3?&34 more than the previous year. The Bible department received -J1.33o.23. of wbich fJ.4-Ub2 was for Old Testament revision. The missionary department received $127,217.83, and is overdrawn SJ.4M.0i. The total receipts for all departments for the year 1SKMJ3 were GS3,05&4i. Seventy-foux new publications and nearly 34.000.000 of the periodicals of the society were issued during the year. The society employs ninetyone eolporteur missionaries, thirty-three Sunday school missionaries, live district secretaries and one publication missionary in Sweden 140 in all and aida several State committees in tbe support of colporteurs. There is great demand for these workers, and the society calls for greatly Increased contributions. The society asks for S'OO.COO annually for a series of years, in order to put a colporteur in every district association in this country. The afternoon session waa devoted to the Baptist Young People's Union of America and on this the addresses were delivered by Dr. Smith, of St. Louis, and Rev. Phillip L. Jones, of Philadelphia. Then a lively diecussiou followed. Dr. J. L. Wilkin 8. secretary of the Yonng People's ' Union, favored considerable liberty, but tbe Rev. J. Parsons, of Pennsylvania, was fearful of the influence of the Catholics or, better speaking, of Catholio priests. who, he declared, tried to bide the revealed word of God. The Rev, Mr. Lawrefrce. of Chicago. remarked that tbe Baptists must "hump" themselves in reaching out after the young people. Dr. I.orimer. of Boston, was in favor of doctrinal Instruction. and thought that no sermon should ever be preached without doctrine in it. Preaehers should not talk, but teach. He believed in tbe young folks, bnt he did not want the old lolka to be forgotten. The American University. Washington, May 24. The annual meetof tbe trustees of tbe Amerioan Uni versity was held at tbe Arlington Hotel to day. The important announcement wan made by the chancellor. Bishop Hurst, that there were now pledged $2?5.(XX) of the proposed millions to be raised in ltw. me outiooK lor the success of the movement before January, 18D4. is very hopeful.

The family circle is the reliance of the country home for enjoyment in the evening, and any outsider with other tastes and thoughts can hardly find himself otber than an intruder. As one would not want to board tbe minister or a school teacher, neither does be want any othr one as a permanent resident in the house except tbe family and the house help. For thisreason 1 like the tenant-house plan. The married man enjoys his meals and bis evenings in his own home, and is better satislied than single men. Tbe farmer's wife should not be a boarding bone keeper. Tba care of a household is HUlhcunt without the presence of any more hands tbau ar neces'ary.

Belfast, May 24, The Conservatives of Belfast and neighboring towns made a great demonstration to-night, in Ulster Hall, in honor of the Marquis of Salisbury. Fully three thousand Ulsterltes, most of whom carried miniature union jacks, attended the meeting. Previous to the arrival of Lord Salisbury CaDt Alexander Clark Kennedy, late of tbe Coldstream Guards, created a furore by unfurling a union jack, under which, ho said, the Grenadiers fought at Waterloo, and under that flag, he continued, the loyalists would light in Ulster, and he and many of tbe otlicers in the British army would assist them. At 7 o'clock Lord alisburv and bis wife and daughter, accompanied by the Mayor of Belfast, Lord Londonderry, tho Duke of Abercoru and other distinguished persons, drove to Ulster Hall, where he met with a most enthusiastic reception. The whole audience rose aud joined in a grand chorus, while hundreds of miniature union jacks wero waved triumphantly in tbe air. When tbe enthusiasm had subsided Lord Salisbury addressed the audience on the subject of home rule. ltuasell Poke I on mt Carter. Paris, May 24 Sir Charles Kussell continued his argument in behalf of tbe British case to-day before the Bebring sea tribunal of arbitration. Sir Charles said tbat before the Fribyloff islands were discovered, pelagio sealing had been exercised and the discovery and ownership of the PribylofF islands could not destroy tbe previous right of mankind. Sir Charles reproached Mr. Carter, of tbe American counsel, with having argued on metaphysics and etnics instead of law, and he refuted the contention that killing female seala was wrong. No law.ir Charles said, supported such a contention. Mr. Carter objected to tbe version of his argument used bv Sir Charles Kussell for the purpose of quotation. A warm passage of words ensued between Mr. Carter and Sir Charles Kussell. The latter then proceeded to argue that Mr. Carter's contention that it was the duty of the United States to preserve tbe seals for mankind, and to appropriate the usufruct was only ot aoademio interest. Sir Charles quoted cases mentioned in the American argument to prove that there could be no right of property in tbe seals. Fastest Vessel in Europe. Bkulin, May 24. The imperial yacht Hohenzollefn, which recently left tbe docks of the Vulcan company, in Stettin, steamed twenty-two knots an hour on her trial trip. The Emperor has sent this dis patch to the Vulcan company: "By this great work yon have placed in my posses sion a vessel which, at least temporarily is the fastest one in Europe." Thebes Shaken by an Earthquake. Athens, May 24. The town of Thebes was shaken oy an earthquake again to day. Many houses collapsed and many others were made uninhabitable by the partial displacement of foundations. One person was killed by a railing wall and several were injured. The wedding of the Duke of York and Princess May of Teck has been nxed for July 6. Tbe two months' drought in France is estimated to have destroyed 22,000.000 francs worth of crops. Recent lloods have devastated large districts in Koumania. Whole villages have been submerged. Three large railway bridges and hlteen smaller ones have been destroyed. Prince Luigi, Duke of Abruzzi. who is King Humbert's nephew, will begin on June 1 a trip around the world. He will sail on the war ship Volturno. In the united States he will travel incognito. The miners' international conference, in session at mussels, hae adopted a resolution in favor nf an eignt-bour work day in the mines, lhe snpporteis of the resolu tion represented iO 4.000 miners and tbe opponents represented 100.000 miners. The conference also decided in favor ot a universal strike to enforce tho eight-hour sys tem. The F1e of m Traitor. San Francisco Chronicle. The terrors of Major Le Caron. the Brit ish spy, are largely imaginary. He is too contemptible a fellow for Irish patriots to kill. In fact, tho greatest punishment that can be visited npon such traitors is to allow them to live on. scourged by remorse and fear of vengeance. Tso future place of tor ment can contain torture equal to tbat which has broken down Le Caron in his prime. It would be a mercy to him to end his sutferinss. so it is to be hoped that ho mav bo allowed to live out hia days and taste to its dregs the bitterness of the traitors lot. Th Other Side of the Story. Moslem World. The English and American newspapers are making a grrat inss over tne alleged persecution of Amerioan Christians in Smyrna. Trebizoud and other places in Anatolia by the Musbalmane. Tho Christians, for years, have been persecuting the Mussulmans in that country, and the news papers apparently never beard of it; but dow that the latter, unable to endure longer the insults and Abuse heaped npon them by tbe Armenians, have commenod to retaliate, the news travels into the West ern hemisphere with marvelous speed. Not Without Its Advantages. New York Sua. "Of course." said the one-legged man. "there are drawbacks to havinu only one leg, but look at the advantages. How much do yon suppose 1 save a year on shoesf Aud take stockings. One pair last me as long as two pairs do most men. Take the matter of getting your sboes blacked: I don't have but half as many to blaok as most men do, and it only eosts me half as much. As a.matterof fact, I d rather have two legs than one. who wouldn't! but havinir only one Is by no means without its ad vantages." An Argument for Home Rale. New York Evening Post.

DAB1NG EXPRESS ROBBEUY

Train on the Missouri Pacific Railway "field Up" by Unmasked Men. Express Car Door Blown Open with Dvnimite aud About Four Tboaeand Dollars Stolen Governor Stone Aboard the Train. Special to the Indianapolis Journal. St. Louis, May 24. A daring express robbery occurred to-night at 9:10 o'clock, thirty miles out from St. Louis, on the Missouri Pacific road, about one and one-half mile west of Pacific, Mo. The car of the PaoiQo Express Company was looted. At :S0 the Missouri Pacific express No 3, which leaves St. Louis nightly at 8:20 o'clock, arrived at Pacific a few miles east of Washington, Mo. The train was heading westward and carried not only over 54,000 in money, but the persons of Governor Stone and State Treasurer Stephens. It seems that the robbers, seven in number, boarded the train at Pacific, Mo., and waited until the train had run out about one and a half mile before they showed their true colors. At a favorable spot, evidently previously agreed npon, three of the robbers climbed over the tender of the engine and soon brought tbo train to a standstill. While two cuarded the engine crew the remaining five, wearing no masks. went to the express car anddemanded that the door be opened. Suspecting something evil was about to happen, the express messenger not only refused to open the door, but further proceeded to foil the progress of the robbers by barring therentrance with such baggage as he could lay his hands on. A further de mand from tbe spokesman of tbe bandits. uririns the express messeneer to open np. receiving no answer, the robbers proceeded to place a dynamite oartriage under tbe door and blow it open. The crash was deafening and tore a hole nearly two feet square in the woodwork, scattering the In tenor obstructions in every direction. The express messenger was then compelled to open the safe and deliver the contents, thought to be about 81,000. Governor Stone has al ready oil ere d a reward for the arrest of the robbers. The Governor and the State Treasurer were both passengers on the train. JSone of the passengers was dis turbed. The following dispatoh was received to night from Cray's Summit by the chief of police, St. Louis: Guard Manchester road. Bobbers went north from Missouri l'acino tracks. As the Missouri river is but a short dis tance nortn of the place where tho robbery occurred. Assistant Chief Heedy came t tbe conclusion th' tho robber) p-obubly went n rti , and e.ttrin a skill, either crossea tbe river or are Moating down.
