THE FEELING STRONG On Both Sides — What » Supporter of the Doctor Says About Partisan Utterances— The Report of the Judiciary Committee Awaited With Interest. Like the ghost of Banquo, a character in one of Shakespeare's plays, the case of Prof. Briggs will not down. Not only does it refuse to stay under cover until the proper time for its appearance arrives, but it seems to havea propensity to crop up in all sorts of unexpected places, All day long today the commissioners to the general assembly had all they cared for to talk about, and before the morning session and during the recess at noon there was plenty of matter for the discussion that went on in the lecture room of the New York Avenue Church, that takes the place of a sort of lobby for the representatives. ‘To begin with, the little breeze that was started in Dr, Sunderland's church yesterday orn- ing came in for its full share of discus- sion, and sentiment in the matter was divided along strict party lines. Asa result of the fact that the present assembly is admitted to be an anti-Briggs body in proportion vary- ing from three to one up to as high as five to one the majority of mon took the position that while Dr. Sunderland may have been rather injudicious in what he said, yet they were all of the opinion that his position in the matter was the correct one. FRELING OF THE BRIGGS MEN. With the Briggs men the feeling was a de- cidedly strong one. During the noon recess one of the ablest and most prominent repre- sentatives of that side of the question said to a Stax reporier that, in his opinion, the first duty of a paper like Tue Stan, which is known to be fair and impartial, was to attack such a partisan attitude as was taken yesterd “There will be plenty of opporiunity Inter in the week or in the early part of next week for everybody to discuss ‘this case of Dr. Briggs to their hearts’ content,” he added, “but why under the sun can't we wait until the hearing begins before at- tempting to try the case on its merits? In my humble opinion all theso attempts to preju- dice the case before it comes up should be deprecated. ‘The moderator himeelf, in his rulings this morning on the maiter of the reference of the overcures from the different yteries, showed a partisan feeling that was "tirely out of place.

They needed at Biddie University, especially at this time, increased dormitory ‘accommodations. ‘They had during the lust year to overcrowd the students. In two rooms at least they had had as many as eight students each, too man for health and for good work. ‘Their industrial department also suffered for lack of accommo- a ‘They regarded industrial education as of the university and they of the time to industrial training in the use of tools and in practical work. All the meckanieal work of the univer- sity was done by the students, All the shoes used were made and reprired there. He had ona pair of the shoes then. ‘They had erected two or three buildinge during the year. In fact,all the work was done by students. They had three cows and the students who attended them were allowed so much on their board. Sometimes a student came there with $20 or $30and by giv- ing hima place in the dish-washing company or in the cow-milking company he was enabled to get thiough the year, They believed the great problem connected with the colored people in the south was to be wrought out by industrial education and Christian education. They did not purpose to make industrial education the main feature of the university, but to make it # feature, so that every young man who went out from there would havea trade. He asserted that Biddle University and Lincoln University had sent out more thoroughly educated colored men than all other institutions in the country put together. Biddie University had sent out sixty ttained Presbyterian ministere, besides many to other denominations. ‘This work was being pushed forward by the Presbyterian Church in these institutions as it was not being done in any other institutions. THEIR VIEW OF WORK. The young colored men, he said, were much like young white men. They thought there was some incompatibility in a man of trained intel- lect having to work with his* bands, so they waited for something to turn up where they would not have much to do. But at Biddle they trained the band as well as the heart and mind.

We have studiously avoided rushing into print in behalf of Dr. Briggs and I do not care to discuss the merits of the case at the prevent time. At the same time I can say that we shall make a fight to have the wh matter referred buck to the synod of the stat of New York, where it should have gone any way before it came up to the assembly. We not be succesful in our efforts, but we shail do the best we can. There are some strong and able sneakers on our side, aud they will insist on being heard, though,’ of course, there will be no need for any insistance, as the assembiy hax shown a willingness to hear the case fully and freely.” ° WHEN THE REPORT WILL BE READ. “Have you had any intimation of the time when the judicial committee will make its report to the general assembly?” “No, none whatever.

Incase the decision in the Briggs trial is! against the defendant there are four penalties that the assembly has in its power to impose. | It may edmonich him, which means in effect to warn him against doing that sort of thing again; it may rebuke or censure him; it may suspend him br deposing | him from his office and forbidding him to exer- cise any of the offices of the church, and it has cower of excommunicating him altogether. ith reference to the propriety of the assem. biy's entertaining the appeal a Jeading anti- Briggs man raid today that the whole matter was decided in the rules of the churen, and that it was not optional, but mandatory upon the bedy. They find’ the authority for this position in chapter 12 of the form of government of the Presbyterian Church, which in article 4: The general assemb:y shall receive and issue a!l appeals, complaints and references that affect the doctrine or con- stitution of the church which may be regularly be brought before them from the inferior judi- catories, THE BOOK OF DISCIPLINE. Section 99 of the book of discipline says with reference to this matter: When due notice of an appeal hus been given and the specifications of the errors alleged have been filed in due time the appeal | shall be consi in order. ‘The judgmen the no’ the appeai and the speci- alleged hall be read, may then determin hesring the parties, whether the appeal saall be entertained. If it be entertained the follow- ing order shall be observed: 1. ‘fhe record in the cave from the beginning and the judicato: consent, 2. ‘The parties shall be heard, the appellant opening and closing. 3.

Dr. G. W. F. Birch had a long consultation Cook and Dr. Lampe, two of hie associates on the prosecuting committee. While Dr. Birch is the chairman of the committee, yet Col. McCook has taken a very active part in the prosecution from the beginning and will re- in with it until the end. “This is the prose- | cuting committee that was appointed by the New York presbytery and premises the original committee must see the The appointment of a committee of this character ia precisely analo- gous to the xppointment by the President of a} judge to the bench. After the appointment is made the appointeo has the power to go ahead | irrespective of the party thut brought it into being. The members of the prosecuting committee feel confident that the case will come up this year for a tridl on its merits and that there is no possibility of its being referred buck to the synod. ‘Just what, the vote will be when the case comes to a conclusion is quite another matter. It is admitted to be rather a con- servative estimate to place the proportion of Briggs men to his opponents at about one to four in this assembly. That the vote against him will be as four to one is hardly thought possible. There are a considerable number of men who are likely to be iniluenced, | more or less, by the arguments that are pre- sented. Then there are a number of mod- erate members, who, while they do not approve of Dr. Briggs and his teaching, will yet object to being ioo severe with him. ‘These and other like considerations are likely to influence the final vote. i perhaps we have not been in Germany, many of us, but we keep on in the old, old way. That REV. A. NELSON HOLLIFIELD, D.D. has been good enough for the white people. ‘That has been good enough for the fathers of the church. It is good enongh for us.” At the close Dr. Sanders was applauded. Dr. Cowan, secretary of the board of educa- tion of freedmen, followed. first delivering a eulogy upon the late Dr. Richard H. Allen and his great services to the cause which the board resented. Cowan made an eloquent speech in advo- cacy of the recommendations of the committee, urging that they give Biddle. fits. 400.000 en- dowment, and make the other contributions to the cause xo much needed. Rev. Daniel N. Freeland of Florida asked why Florida had been overlooked in the work of freedmen. He was requexted to give way, however, to the president of the board, Rev. Dr. McClellan, who made a brief address. He said that in all the work of the board it had never been bester organized or better equipped for work than at the present time. They were, he said. hopeful of doing much greater work in the future. He spoke of the valuable services tothe board of Mr. 8. P. Harbicon of Pitu- burg. They felt that they knew more about the work than they had ever known. Presby- terianism, he said, was growing strong in the southland. He reierred to Dr. Sanders as a | brother alumnus of his, who had taken the biguest prizes. If they ever got into trouble | iu the rout about tie roots of things Dr. Sunders would know all aboatit. He knew his Hebrew Bible. He made an earnest appeal in behalf of the work among freedmen. The floor, or rather twe platform, was then given to Rev. Mr. Freeland, who went on with an interesting account of his own work among the poor colored people in his state, He gave & humorous account of a vociferous colored meeting. ending in their old religious dance, brought from Africa. He asked that the board of freedmen extend a helping hand to Florida. He said they didn't want Hebrew and Greek so much, but wanted them to stoop a little lower and help them up. Rev. John A. Savage, a colored minister of Franklinton, also spoke on the subject of the work among the freedmen, When Mr. Savage finished the report and recommendations were approved. Committees Announced. ‘The stated clerk, Dr. Roberts,then announced the usual committees on synodieal records, He then stated that he bad had placed in his hands the replies of presbyteries to overtures sent down to them by the assembly of 1892. There were overtures on the subject of re- vision, deaconesses, local evangelists and va- eaney and suppl He moved that these replies be referred to committees of canvase, consisting. as usual, each of three ministers and elders. This motion was carried, and the moderator announced as follows: & ON THE OVFRTURES ON REVISION, Ministers—Thos. A. Host, D. D., Louis R, Foote, D. D., David J. Strain.

Nelson Clarke, Luther H. Angier. Elders: John F. Henderson, Wm. & Me- Kenzie. The Disputed Overtures Again. Dr. Young, chairman of the committee on bills and overtures, then coming forward, re- ferred to the controversy of the morning over two overtures, one from Chicago and one from Detroit, as to their proper reference. The Spmumittee had since then carefully examined these overtures and in their jt tthe; found that if ever any overtaves ‘presented t an assembly. should be reterzed to the commit- tee on church polity these should be. They re- ferred to no case before the assembly, but simply to changes in the standards. On the ground of principle, therefore, the committes now again recommended thxt they be referred to the committee on church polity. He read the overture from the Chicago presbytery, which prefered a number of amendments in the book of government respe ‘ting judicial pro- cesses, one being the omission of the word which permits appeals from the presbytery to the assembly. | Every word of the overture, r. Young said, referred directly to changes in the standard, / A motion was made that the recommendation of the committee be adopted. Dr. Thompson said that that overture referred manifestly to the judicial caso now before the assembly, although it was not specifically so stated. He was assured by members of the Chicago presbytery that it was intended the overture should have a besring on the pending case. ‘There were portions of the overture which had no reference, pei to the case, but the purt of the overture which plainly referred to the pending case should to the judicial committee, a his education. The old negro claimed that he could explain any passage in the Bible, and his effort when put to the test to tell what the word firmament meant was amusingly de- ker. who imitated the dia- reacher. | claimed St. Paul asserted was a species of self sity, whospoke. saying he wished firet | ive report. | ‘VIA THE JUDICIAL COMMITTER. Rev. Dr. Thos. C. Hall of Chicago said that there was no objection to the matter's going to the committee on polity, but should it not go vin the judicial committeee. If the polity com- mittee was to first there would be no ob; to ite going to that committee, but as it was the judicial committee that was to report first he thought it should go to that committee ‘80 that both committees could get the benefit of the light that the overture might yield as to the sentiments of the presbyteries. Dr. Harsha remarked that there were nine other overtures on this same matter. Dr. Warfield urged that this overture had nothing to do with the judicial committee, and mmittee by airing it to go throt Pome eo fog e pow eh Raa NOT MIND READERS. | Dr. Pugh of Philo, Il., said that the commit- | mattter. The overtures went to that committee | for distribution and it had done 1ts duty. The paper belonged to the committee on church polite. ‘They could not, be said, take into | consideration the intention of the Chicago | presbytery, They were not mind readers. | DE. HOLLIPIELD PROPOSES A COMPROMISE. | Dr, Hollifield of Newark, N. J., said that | there was evidently friction. He proposed a | compromise as an amendment,and that was | that a copy of the overtures in question be | made and sent to the judicial committee for | intormation. Elder Eudalie insisted on the usual rulesof the assembly being adbered to. DR. BOOTH NOT PUT DOWS. Dr. RR. Booth of New York then advanced to the front to speak. It was then 12 o'clock, und the commissioners were impatient to get DR. ROBERT R. BOOTH, NEW YORE. out and have their taken. There were loud cries of “question” and “‘photo- graph.” Dr. Booth eved the calmly and said: ~You can balice question’ ss misoh as pon please, ‘but you cannot pat me down; Tam om New York.” “The briefest way with Dr. Booth,” said the ay ae hte let him “af <x ‘spoke and spoke briefly against Dr. Hollifield’s proposition on the general | ground that it was introducing the element of popular clamor into their proceedings. PROF. BROWN OF UNION. Prof. Fraucis Brown said that, as he under- stood it, the committee proposed now not to do what it bad expressed its willingness to do this morning—that was, to refer these overtures to the judicial committee. ‘Dr. Young said that it wasstated this morning that these overtures had reference to a pending case, and on that be had said be would, on his own responsibility change the direction of their reference. On examination of the papers be oe not refer to any case before che | assembly, but proposed c! im the stand- ards. ‘They had wot therefore’ been correctly described this morning. Prof. Brown spoke of overtures which were in two parts, one referring to pending cases and another of a general nature, and he asked what had become of such overtures. Dr. Young said that in all such cases they had been referred to the judicial committee for first consideration. MB. CUTCREON OF DETROIT. ‘Mr. Cutcheon then addressed the chair and the moderator asked his name. “Mr. Cutcheon of Detroit,” answered the commissioner. “Mr. Cutcheon, I see vou, sir, and recognize you with pleasure.” mid the moderator. Mr. Cutcheon said that Dr. Young was mis- taken in saving that the commissioners from Detroit had described the overture from that Presbytery as having reference to a » specific case. He bad not so spoken of it, but had risen in the morning to ask information, but could not get the recognition of the chair. “Isee Mr. Cutcheon now,” said the modera- tor, “"a strong man and a large man, and I have Feeognized him by appointing aim on one of the most important committees. At the time he was asking to be seen the moderator's eyes | Were on still Iarger man instaiure than Tom | Hall, aud he conid not weil see anyone else.” | ‘This raised a laugh and put apleasant ending to the incident of the morning. DR. YOUNG'S RECOMMENDATIONS APPROVED. A motion by Elder Sterry of New York to lay Dr. Hollifield’s motion on the table was carried. Then the motion to approve Dr. Young's rec- ommendations referring the overtures to the commitice on church polity was carried. ‘The assembly then took a recess and went to the State Department teps tobe photographed. ‘To Examine the Kecords.
