The Episcopal Convention in Session in Baltimore, OUTLOOK FOR DR. BRIGGS AT DETROIT. Representative Maryland Farmers’ Alliance Men Meet. JURY FIXERS ARE INDICTED. THE MAKYLAND DIOCESE, Protestant Episcopal Convention Being Held in Baltimore. Special Dispatch to The Evening Star. Bartrmorg, May 27.-The one hundred and eighth session of the Maryland diocesan con- vention of the Protestant Episcopal church was begun today in St. Peter’s Church with an eloquent sermon by Rev. Dr. Thomas Addison of Washington. The en- tire morning was devoted to the re- ligious exercises, in which Bishop Paret, Dr. Addison; Dr. Julius E. Grammer, rector of St. Peter's Church, ‘and Rey. Arthur Chilton Powell participated. Dr. Addison's sermon was on the text, “But He Shall Reeeive Power can | After That the Holy Ghost Has Come Upon You.” He said in part, the work of God does not progress now as it did in the early days of hhristianity. The success of Luther, Wesle of Whipple among the Indians was due not #0 much to superior ability as it was to their i of the Christian should not who virtually excludes God from the world. ‘The sermon was followed by the celebration of the holy communion, aftey which the con- vention plunged at once into business. in DR. BROOKS INDORSED. The standing committee reported that it had considered and had given its consent to the ordination of Rev. Dr. Phillips Brooks to be the bishop of the diocese of Massachusetts. It had laid on the table the application of George Wright Chapman to be the missionary bishop of Alaska. eens THE GENERAL ASSEMBLY. Dr. Briggs’ Case Will Probably Be Handled Without Gloves—Dr. Parkharst’s Opinion. Derrort, Micu., May 27.—Rev. Dr. Park- burst, pastor of Madison Square Presbyterian Chureh, New York, whose sermon on Sunday last in favor of Dr. Briggs attracted so much attention, arrived here last night to be on the ground for Dr. Briggs’ defense when the up in the byterian assem- bly. The Parkhurst sermon has rather altered fhe aspect of the Briggs case. A leading mem- ber of the assembly gave ont that arrunge- ments had been made Inst Saturday whereby the whole case was to go over until the nex meeting of the goneral assembly, but the Park hurst sermon, in which he gave Princeton su a lively shaking up, had quite changed the sit- uation, and the probabilities now are that the igs case will be handled without gloves. WHAT DE. PARKHURST GAYS, In an interview here Dr, Parkhurst reiterated his belief in his statements of last Sunday. He qualified, however, as follow: “Iam willing to concede, asa friend of Dr. Briggs, that he has been strangely unfortunate in his expressions, has talked and written alto- gether too, muck, and, while thoroughly op- to dogmatism, has been one of the most dogmatic men’ in the word. I have told Dr. Briggs that every time he writes a book he ought to nitach a gloseery to it, so that his readers can under- stand ‘the sense in which he uses certain words. And so I attribute all of his trouble to that un- fortunate, infelicitous way that he has of writ- ing things that are susceptible of a far different construction than he intended having placed upon them and of saying and writing things ithout exercising proper care. “If Dr. Hitchcock, president of Union Semi- nary, had uttered the words that have caused such’ an onslaught on Dr. Briggs they would never have caused a ripple. “If the general assembly condemns Dr. Briggs it is simply going to drive some of our brightest and best minds out of the Presbyte- rian churob, for, asIsaid in my sermon last Sunday, the question that is on the lips of thousands of young men who are on the thresh~ hold of the ministry, is: ‘Can I entertain my intellectual self respect?” My own idea is there is plenty of room for celebration within the limits of Presbyterian principles. “The general belief is that Dr. Briggs’ critics have fired at him from long range, and in many instances without understanding’ the facts in the matter at all. One distinguished minister wrote @ three-column article attacking Dr. Briggs, and afterward admitted that he bad not read Briggs’ inaugural or even seen it. There is this thing about it all: ‘They may crush Briggs, but they cannot crush the spirit he represents.” OUTLOOK FoR DR. BRIGGS. Atnoon today thé condemnation of Prof. Briggs was regarded as a certainty. The elo- uence of Dr. Arthur Mitchell in appealing for foreign missigns diverted the commissioners’ attention for the moment. But as the moment for submitting the report approaches the ex- citement is everywhere rising. Dr. Paxton of Princeton arrived yesterday, and his guidance ix the Briggs matter is being eagerly sought. ‘A CRISP COMMENT. In an interview this morning Dr. Parkhurst declared the recent revision report was a “damnation report with a 1 tail. It preju- dices Briggs’ cave before the New York pres- bytery. i time, but it will have to come. A year will enable the Presbyte- rian church to grasp the need of it.”” THE GENEBAL ASSEMBLY IX SESSION. When this morning’s session of the general assembly opened it was decided to change the order of things so as to defer the report of the publication board until tomorrow Rev. Herrick Johnson of Chicago, for the committee on exhibit at the world’s fair, ro- ported in favor of auch a display. An amendment to the rules on the admission of ministers from other denominations so that they would have to pass the seme examination as new candidates for the ministry was referred to the committee on church policy. The report of the board on foreign missions was presented. ‘The aggregate additions to mission churches is 2,87, some more than last ear, evpecially large accessions being reported from Shanetung and Laos missions.

Curcago, May 27.—Without any sufficient reason apparent on the surfuce July wheat opened 30134 lower this morning than it closed yesterday. It is understood in wheat crowd, however, that there isa clique engaged in making deals in that cereal on a “system” which is supposed to insure profits to its back- lique is supposed to have a large als which are operated in w: syndicate which cansed the lower opening in prices. Though the opening was lower the market was strong, influenced by reported in- sect damage in southern Illinois and therumors of corner being run in Minneapolis. July a sold from 993409 at the opening up to EXCITEMENT IN THE CORN PITS. ‘There was great excitement in the corn pits and things went humming. Shorts in May realized that they were in close quarters and were making frantic struggles to get out. Early in the month, when the boom wason, they sold rge quantities of that future at’a round 70 cents. The limit of time for delivery is close at hand and the necessary amount of grain is notin sight. In fact, it is freely predicted that many of the shorts will be unable to cover their trades at any price and that they will be compelled to default on their contract. July opened 3% off compared with yesterday's clove, first trades being made at about 58 Dut ih sympathy with the urgent demand for cash and May it rapidly advanced, touching 513g within the first twenty minutes.

While it is a thing yet to beaccomplixhed it is regarded asa certainty by the “reformers,” Farmers’ Alliance and other sorts, that « full party, and, confidentially, they do not besitate to predict that Mr. McKinley will be beaten by 20,000 majority. Hon. Jerry Simpson, who is ® pronounced free trader, bas been assigued to campaign work in Ohio and a pro- gram has been laid out for him.

A MISAPPREHEN@ON As TO ITS STRENGTH, circles now on the third party movement, and it is claimed by those wko are in correspond- ence with all sections that there is a misunder- standing ay to the state of affairs in the south. They say that the feeling there is very earnest among thove who are already converts, but in the interest of the growth and final strength of the movement they do not want to | talk third party so long before it 4s pomible for anything to accomplished. Tho alliance wants the movement to be forced by a popular sentiment and not nursed into activity by so- leaders. AGAINST CLEVELAND IN THE SOUTH. An alliance worker ventured the assertion to ® Star reporfer today, based, he said. upon information gathered through ex- tensive correspondence, that if the dem- ccrate nominated Cieveland not more than three of the southern states would 80 democratic, but that the third party would carry things their own way.

Men Go Out Because Non-Union Man is Employed to Kun a Steam Planer. This morning between fifteen and twenty stonecutters who are employed atthe works of the Washington Steam Stone’ Company, lstand M streets northeast, went out on astrike,and now the work at the yard is practically at # stand- still, as only the four apprentice boys and one or two laborers are at work. The strike was caused by the introduction of steam power into the works, and the fact that the man who is employed to handle the big steam plane that runs through stone like a chisel through putty is neither @ stonecutter nor a member of the union. When the men went to work this morning they found tacked up on the shed the following notice, unsigned, but written under a letter head of the Stonecutters’ Union: at y 8. The following resolution was passed at a meeting of this date: Moved, that stonecutter must be employed to work the planer in the steam works when it 1s started. When they saw this Harry Godwin, the fore- man, and his men at once lnid down their tools and refused to go to work, though some of them said that mally they were willing to, Dus thet they must stand by the order of the ion. WHAT MR. HAYES SATS. Mr. John Hayes, the secretary and treasurer of the company, said to a Stam reporter today that the first intimation of trouble he had was the sight of this notice and of the men standing around idle. The company has recently put ina new steam saw, planer and smoother, all expen- id complicated machinery. The planer started to work three days ago and the saw went through a big piece of sandstone last evening for the first time. The planer was at work today and Mr. Hnyes said that the man who was working it was an ex- he bad brought ia Mr “for the man never raiser a mallet nor touches a chisel. But I told my men this morn- ing that if they could furnish a stonecutter who could run the ine I was willing to Jot him do it, or if any of them wanted the job to go ahead. They declined and soon after that left the yard. .I don’t see what else Tcan do. Tam willing to take any man they may furnish, only an inexperienced man must give bonds for the damage he may do our machinery. I must keep the machinist, too, for if any broak should occur do you think’ a stonecutter could repair it? It us in @ bad way, at this time of the year especially. "I could get plenty of ‘non-union men, but I don’t want them. [have always Leen on the best of terms with the union and Idon't think they have acted fairly by us this time.” PRESIDENT SHEA’S SIDE. President Shea of the union gave the Star reporter their side of the story. He says that the planer does the work of ten stonecutters and it is only fair that a stonecutter should be the one to get Pag for run- ning it’ He said tthe man who is running it now is not a skilled machin- ist, but laborer at $1.25 day. working all sorts of hours, while the stonecutters get $9.60 for an eight-hour day. He said Mr. Hayes had told him that he could teach any man to run the machine in fifteen minutes; that he would teach a laborer, but was unwill- ing to teach a stonecutter. Notice was given to the firm over two weeks ago that the demand of the men would be enforced. Mr. Shea said that stonecutters are needed on... the stone work before and after it goes into the planer, and it is only fair that a stonecutter should have the running of a machine that takes away the salary from the men. A special meeting of the Stonecutters’ As- will be held this — at Shea's Hall, semb! when it is thought some sort of a compromise will be arrang: ——_-— DREDGING THE POTOMAC. ‘Three Classes of Bids Opened in the Office of Col.

The New York delegation in the next Con- gress will bea solid unit for some one man for Speaker. Mr. Campbell was found today by a Stan re- Porter surrounded by New York politicians in the Congressional Hotel. “You may say for mo,” said the ex and new member, “that the New York delega- tion will stand together on the speaker- ship question. From New York are twenty-three democratic votes in the next Congress and these twenty- three votes will be cast for one man, whoever he may be. It has been decided by a very large majority of the delegation that a confer- ence be held before the meeting of the next Congress and that then whoever may be selected for Spenker shail receive the entire New York vote. ‘There are at present only a very few of the democratic delegation who do not understand that the New York vote will be cast asa unit and before Congress meets they will come into the fold. “Who will the man be? Well, that is a ques- tion you will have to wait for the conference toxetile. The only certain thing is that New York will stand together on the speakershi und whoever is selected by the delegation will be elected.
