New Youx, May 6.—Dr. Charles A. Briggs of Union Seminary has prepared a defense of the charges of heresy against him and it will be published shortly. He has been criticised for saying the Bibie was inaccurate, though belief in the scriptures was the infallible rule of faith and practice. He says this is not inconsistent. ‘The scriptures are a rule, and as a source of divine authority the Bible is not inerrant. In one case it is @ rule and in the other “‘source.” Dr. Briggs denies that he has made the claim that reason is infallible. He is also in full «ympathy with the confession of faith in what it says as to the ultimate sanctifi- cation of the race. pa IT BENT WHEAT UP. ‘The Report That France Would Modify the | © Import Duty.

AN EXHAUSTIVE AND GCHOLARLY PAPER UPON THE GENERAL ADVANCE AND PROGRESS MADE IX ‘MEDICINE READ BY DR. SRURLEY—SOME KOU- ‘TINE BUSINESS—ENTERTAINMENT FOR TONIGHT. Before 10 o'clock this morning large num- bersof men wiseand skilled in the arts of healing began to wend their way across Penn- sylvania avenue to Albuugh's Opera House for the second day's meeting of the American Medical Arsociation. There are so many meet- ings of sections committees and other organt- zations allied to the main one that all the hours of the doctors are well filled up. The evenings are devoted to social enjoyment and a number of pleasant enter- tainments have been planned for the visitors; as already stated in Tae Stan. Last night was held the reception at the Arlington given by the local men to those from out of town. There were meetings all yesterday afternoon and early in the evening and again at an carly hour this morning. Notwithstanding this fact the | members of the association showed up bright, sharp andall attention at the general meeting of the whole organization this morning. MEETINGS OF THE SECTIONS. ‘There are #0 many physicians present in town now, representing 60 many classes of practice, that it is found necessary to divide the associa- tion up into sections, each devoted to a partic- ular branch of the general ubject of medicine. ‘These sections hold meetings at 8 o'clock in the afternoon, making it possible for each member to attend ‘the section that is most likely to in- terest him the most. In the morning of each of the four days, however, the general associa tion holds a ' session ‘at Albaugh’s, at which business of interest -to. all is transacted and papers of general value, read. Rev. Father Richar ls of Georgetown College opened the exercis-s today in an eloquent and graceful prayer. He asked that all those who wero gathered together might be moved bya Godlike spirit and charity, and prayed that they might all go back to their Inbors renewed in spirit and strength by Him who did not doign to go about as the great healer 5 OENERAL MEDICINE. The paper of the morning was by Dr. E. L. Shurley of Detroit npon the subject of gencral medicine. Dr. Shurley said, in opening his ad- dress, that it would be a task of too great mag- nitude to attempt to go at length into all the progress that had been madein medicine within e past year. He would hence confine himself to astudy of micro-organisms and toxicons in their relation to zymotic diseases, devoting himself mainly to generaliaations upon the chemical and ‘biological side of the subject. Dz. Shurley at once plunged into the depths of his subject and presented a most thorough and scholariy paper, that was technical to a degree. He disciinwed at'length the body, from acl ical und physical standpoint. ANIMAL CHEMIWTRY. There is but comparatively little known of animal chemistry, said Dr. Shurley, but he re- viewed the subject as it is known, defining the proteplann in its chemical natare. Protoplasm has been considered not as n proteid substance, but asa number of such. ‘hen the ciemistry of blood was taken up and treated exhaustively. ‘The chemical, organic and pathological natures of saliva, bile and pancreatic juice were also treated, and after reviewing many of the chemi- cal, molecular and other changes that take place in the human body Dr. Shurley said it was no wonder there are so many chances for diseases. Many regard the introduction of peptones as a cause for much of the febrile troubles. The diphtheria germ develops a ptomaine, which may be the Tain cause of the trouble. In his paper Dr. Shurley rehearsed the discoveries and re- searches made by various physicians during the past year. TUBERCULAR BACILLI. The matter of tubercular bacilli was of course touched upon. We are inoculated by such bacilli every day, and the question arises why stricken down by disease. ause we are in such a healthy con dition that the bacilii do not find a proper reat- ing piace and the pabulum they require. Then why do guinea pigs develop d every time? Those who place the fullest reliance upon the germ theory say it is because they are susceptible, but Dr. Shurley gave what he jered a better and more satisfactory ex- jlanation. O Dr. akurley’s paper, which was of the greatest value to the physicians who understood it, written as it was for the purpose of arousin, increased interest in physical and pathological chemistry, was received with applause and was referred without objection to the publication committee. The report of the librarian, C, W. Richard- son of this city, showed the addition to the library of forty-five periodicals and a numbe: of other works. It recommended the removal of the library from one of the towers of the Smith-onian ‘building, where it is now stored which has become overcrowded, to more capacious and suitable quarters. THE CONSTITUTION'S AMENDMENT. The amendment to the constitution proposed by Dr. A. L. Gihon yesterday, printed in Inst evening’s Star, came up as the svecial order of business this morning. The amendment calls for the mecting of the association to begin on the first Wednesday of May or Jone, instead of on Tuesday, and was for the object of getting kindred organizations, whose members arc also members of the medical assoviation, to meet on the first two days of the week and thus increase the attendance upon the sessions of the associa- tion as well. Dr. Gihon made another address this morn- ing in favor of his amendment, bright, witty and entertaining, showing the advantages the association would receive were the change made. AGAINST THE PROPOSED CHANGE. Dr. Quimby of New Jersey made some earn- est remarks in opposition to the amendment, as did Dr. Scott of Ohio. Dr. Davis of Chicago, whose every appearance before the convention ts greeted with applause, announced that the amendment, e understood it, was not really one’ to the constitution’ at but to the by-laws, simply changing the order of business. Still he did not favor the amend- ment and recommended that the association be made large enough to hold, all special organi zations to be included in the various sections. Dr. Victor Vaughan of Michigan said he understood the amendment as cutting down the number of general meetings by one. His only objection was that it did not cut them down by two. The only advantage that comes from the annual conventions is from the read- ing of the president's address and the papers. Half the time is wasted in general meetings and fruitless discussion. LAID ON TRE TABLE. On the suggestion that the amendment did not really change anything and was of no value motion was made that theamendment be laid on the table and this was carried by» rousing mane: a ‘The amendment introduced by Dr. Scott abolishing the committee on state medicine, for the reason that the section of state medicine covers the ground fully, then was brought up. Dr. Bell amended it so’ that the appointment of the committee be left to the section of state medicine instead of to the nominating commit- tee, and as so amended it was adop' Dr. E. A. Woods’ amendment to drop the word physiology from the name of the section of “‘practice of medicine and physiology” and that'a new section be created to be known as the section of “dietetics and physiology” was also adopted. ‘Dr, Culbertson’s amendment with reference to the recognition of state and local associa- tions was referred to a committee, upon the resolution offered by Dr. Davis. An amend- ment that in future permanent members have all the rights of delegates was laid on the table by an overwhelming vote. ‘The 4 | y i i : i E 4 i : Frey ef i Ba ff rif i 3 oF Hi i FR. leading principles in scl m- weate prineipl ll * Nba mer pling 3 instead of this to the members this The will therland, surgeon | general of the army.

At the meeting yesterday afternoon of the section of state medicine the chairman, Dr. J. D. Plunket of Nashville, being detained by ill- ness, the introductory address was omitted. Dr. D. F. Lincoln presented a report on be- half of the committee on school hygiene, stat ing that a largo xhare of the work had been accomplished and usking leave to continue, which was granted. A synoptical statement of hygiene was pre- as agreed to by the committee. J. Lincoln presented a paper on the ion of school houses, urging the ne- of adopting roomy and bberal plans for laying out the interior of buildings. Movable partitions wore objected to. In respect to the lighting of rooms emphasis was laid on avoid- ance of direct front light and of light entering horizoutally. It earnestly argued that ventilation by open windows is so dangerous to the health’ of pupils in northern latitudes that it should be entirely condemned and an effort made to substitute thorough systems of Yontilation by the introduction of warmed air. nlace i.

What is believed to have been the first con- test in the city of what is known as “duplicate whist,” which system received the official rec- ognition at tho recent whist congress in Mil- waukee, took place last night at the Capital Bicycle Club, on 15th street. under the direc- tion of Mr. A. G. Safford, who was the dele- gate to the congress from both the Bicycle and the Columbia Athletic clubs. An exemplification of the system by the twenty-four contestants last night fully proved ita merit and utility. Sides were chosen and at the close of play the winners had 941 points to their credit, the losers being satisfied yith 931 points.

The point decided is that where n railroad company having ample facilities for physical connection and through business with » con- necting line, with which it has in past Jong an arrangement for doing through business on a pro rating basis, terminates that ment without any good reason and enters into a i arrangement with another connecting line, and refuses further through business over ite former connection, this conduct is unjust dis- crimination within the meaning of pelgr ogy oe Ss.

ABOUT WHAT WAS BXPECTED—IT WIL BRACE SECRETARY BLAINE IX DUE COURSE OF THE AND WILL FIGURE IX THE CORRESPOXDENCE— ‘MINISTER PORTER'S LEAVE OF ARSEXCE. ‘The report of the New Orleans grand jury upon the killing of the Italians was @ fruitfal theme for discussion among people at the Department of State today. It may be said that the findings of the grand jury excited no surprise, for some such conclusion of the case ‘was expected. The attempt to palliate the infraction of law by offsetting the alleged attempts at jury fixing is deprecated by the legal minds of the depart- ‘ment, but there is a well-defined opinion thaton se aneg lis outcome of the case will be ite effects upon the turbulent for- eign elements in the United Staten eto as it will make clear to them the fact that the; cannot rely upon treaties to escape net bility to the reat public for their unlawful ‘WILL REACH MR. BLAINE IN DUE TIME. The report of the grand jury will, it is ex- pected, reach Secretary Blaine in the course of timeand figure in the official correspondence between the United States and Italy. There is reason to believe that in some details it differs from the report made to the Department of Justice by ct Attorney Grant, nota- bly in the matter of nationality of the vietima, The grand jury's report found that eight of them were naturalized American citizens and that one had declared his inten- tion to become naturalized. District Attorney Grant, it is believed, found that one of the victims was of Italian nationality, but was an escaped convict, and that another's nationality was so doubtful as to make it unsafe to hazard Ro, at any rate, the Italian com- an opinion. plaint will be narrowed down to two persons— one an ence) convict. For al- though the United States has no nat- uralization treaty with Italy, the last named nation has invariably, through comity, recog- nized our naturalized citizens as free from ameuability to their native government. When the case of these two victims is consid- ered the question will immediately arise—were the treaty stipulations with Italy broken? WERE TREATY STIPULATIONS BROKEN? This question is likely to figure in the cor- Tespondence between the two governments as soon as the Italian government is ‘ready to fall Teasonably into the usual diplomatic method of treating @ subject respecting which they take issue with another nation. Unless it xppears clearly that the treaty has been violated the Italian ease falls to the ground and the leading diplomatic minds of the State Department maintain that this fact cannot be made to appear. ‘The treaty Guarantees Italian _citize: in this country the sume rights and privileges and immunities as are enjoyed by our own citizens, and it is asserted that if any Italian subjects were killed at New Orleans they had the same measure of protection that was ac- corded to the American citizens who were killed ‘at the same time and for the same reason and by the same persons. Morvover, their families may claim indeminty if it appears that they are eutitled todo so. The mame measure of popular vengeance might have been indicted upon native citizens of the United States and together it is not clear to the State Depart- ment vfticials that the victims failed ii degree to receive the protection guarante the treaty, which, it may be said, does not and cannot insure the lives of foreigners. In Sec- retary Blaine’s absence there has been no for- ward move in the correspondence. MN. PORTER MAY GET A LEAVE OF ABSENCE. It islearned that Mr. Porter, our minister at Rome, applied to the Department of State for leave of absence before the New Orleans affair happened. He bas been constantly on duty since March, —1889—more than two years—and it is customary for @ minister to have leave at least once in a year. Moreover the sickly season is approaching in Rome, so that it is entirely probable that his request will be ted, a8 indeed would al- lv have been the case had not the trouble reached such an acute phase. Attorney General Miller said be had read the report of the grand jury, but he declined abso- lutely to express any opinion in regard to it or to discuss it in any of its features. Secretary Foster, when asked his opinion of the report, said he really had not had time to road it, and was therefore not in a position to express an opinion regurding it. A Long Flight of Homing Pigeons. A basket of homing pigeons, owned by Mesers. Stockman Hill aud Wallace, was coun- termarked and shipped Friday night, May 1 (by F. Reamer, race secretary), to J. W. Dor- sey, postmaster at Connelly Springs, N. C., air- tine distance 3283{ miles. Mr. Dorsey writes: “Birds liberated nt 5:45 a. m. Sunday, May 3; weather = clear at time; birds flew due north.” ‘The first arrival was to Wallace's loft, x17304, White Face, who entered the loft at 4:49/4, having flown 3283 milesin eleven bours and four minutes. Second arrival was to Hill's loft at 4:57 p. m., 29494, Royal Blue. Third to Wallace's at 5:58 p. m., b843%, Reamer. These birds deserve special credit, for more than 200 miles of the journey was made in arain storm and against contrary winds. Shey are the champion one-day long-distance flyers of Amer- ica to date for the season of 1891. —— Sent to the Reform School.

Bell of the pension office has gone to Washington, Pa., to make arrangements for ‘the incineration of his remains after death in the crematory in that place. His idea is to avoid the expense which attends funerals. The thought of his body being placed im the ground is repugnant to him. He is about eighty years old and bas been connected with the penision office for a long time. He was prominent in the formation the yublican party, and at one time was quite wealthy. Last winter he celebrated his golden wedding anni- versary, but since then his wife has A Dronken Man With a Pistol.

The work of bringing about reciprocal busi- ‘ness arrangements between the United Sta. and the nations who occupy territory from the Rio Grande to Cape Horn goes merrily and speedily on. Venernela and te ‘republic of the north have clasjcd bands, urged to do so by the conven- tion-creating provisions of the McKinley bill and the strong desire of Secretary Blaine to ex- tead the principles and practices of American reciprocity. THE WORK QTICKLT Dove. It is but little more than three months «ince the Secretary of State handed to the Venezue- lan minister, Senor Bolet-Peraza, a copy of the commercial t or convention to which he clesired the assent of the Venezueina govern- ment, but so speedy has been the action of the Venecuelan government that the mat- ter bas been satisfactorily concluded. When the cocument was received by the president of Venezuela it was discovered that many of its provisions and eations directly conflicted with the revenue laws of the country, and for awhile it seemed us though pathway of commercial diplomacy, so far as the United States and Venezuela were con- cerned, was pretty thoroughly blockaded. These hindrances to progress were not, how- ever, “permitied to remain, for there was & great national desire to please the United States and to advance business interests. The obstacles have all been removed and the agree- ment is a reality. BENEFITS TO BOTH PARTIES. Mr. A. M. Soteldo has just received @ letter wud Mr. Soteldo to a Stan re- porter this afternoon, “but 1 know that one of results of agreement — will bea marked incroase in the shipments of flour from this country to Venzuela and a de- cided cheapening of the product at the Venezu elun end of the line. Nearly all the flour used heretofore was made in this country, but the duty on it amounted to from 4 to $5 per barrel. ‘Trade in kerosene oil will also increase rapidly. Venezuela has oil wells of its own and so far as tested the product is superior to the article with which they are supplied from thix country, but the wells are in the interior of the republic and not caxily accessivle. The con- vention is a good thing and Tam glad to know it. As our commercial relations become cloeer we will become more friendly—will understand each other—and it is universal friendliness among all the nations on this great continent that so many of us base worked for, are work- ing for and will continue to work for until the end is achieved Narrow Escape of a Lady From the Deadly Embrace of a Folding Bea. A lady residing on 1% et betwen Pand Q went to bed last night. There is nothing strange in that possibly. but a nt to bed at 8:39 o'clock—a most unfashionable hour.
