SOME EMPHATIC SPEECHES, Shall the Case Be Sent Back to the Synod? WHAT BRIGGS MEN URGE. Speeches Which Went Into the Merits of the Case. ‘Today was the third day of the famous Briggs hearing before the 105th general assembly of the Presbyterian Church of the United States of America. Col. John J. MeCook of the pros- ecuting committee of the New York presbytery finished his argument for the appellants last evening, and at the close of his speech the assembly in ite judicial capacity decided to allow four hours today for the arguments on the motion to entertain the appeal in the case of Dr. Briggs, the speakers being limited under the book of discipline to ten minutes each. This was the business of the day, the argu- ments on the pending question, whether the motion to entertain the appeal should be adopted. Should the assembly decide to entertain the appeal of the prosecuting committee from the decision of the New York presbytery then the assembly will proceed to the trial of the case against Dr. Briggs. A CROWDED HOUSE. The attendance this morning was very large, and around the galleries and the doors leading into the church there were many people stand- ing, unable to get into the church. It was warm, but not unbearable, and despite the high caloric the commissioners were in an exception- DR. BRIGGS LISTENS ATTENTIVELY. ally good humor. This was ¢o noticeable that the moderator made reference to it in his open showed such an evident desire to handle the case in question ina feelingof kindness and brotherly love. When the hour for beginning the morning session had arrived the church was already filled, and all the commissioners were in their places in the body of the church. The galleries were filled almost entirely with women. Light summer gowns and paper fans were in the as- cendant. In point of numbers the men were about as ten to one, A large section of the first hour of the debate was taken up in a warm discussion on technical Points of the law governing such proceedings, Each point raised and each speech made was listened to with the closest possible attention. Not a word was lost. POINTS OF ORDER. As the order of business for the morning session was taken up there was evident a ten- dency on the part of the commissioners to get alittle hot in their methods, and Moderator Craig had just about all he could do to keep the body of men not only in order, but in something like good spirits. An example of this was seen when the second speaker of the morning was on the platform. It was Dr. Hinckley of Philadelphia, who was speaking in favor of entertaining the appeal. He wan- MR. KNEELAND P. KETCHAM, dered off into the alluring pastures of theological discussion, and was protesting against the action of Dr. Briggs in linking the name of Martineau, ‘aman who died denying the Savior who bought him with the name of | Dr. Spurgeon, who by his whole life showed | clearly and beyond dispute the orthodoxy of his views and the suurce of his life.” “Mr. Moderato “Point of orde “Mr. Moderator!” These and a dozen other cries at once arose from all parts of the church. There was a| time and the promise of still more excite- | ment right away if something was not done. “What is your point of order, brother?” « Brother Hinckley speaking to the ques- tion’ s+He thinks he is.” This gave the assembly a chance to laugh, and this was all they wanted—a chance to let. This was but one of a score or more scenes | that showed the tense exeiterent under which the e joncrs were laboring all the time and impartial manner, but 1t was a bard thing to do, and again and again it was clear to every outsider that it would take but a trif_ing spark to bring about a huge explosion. There was an alarming tendency on the part of almost every speaker to wander from the actual ques- tion before the assembly and to discuss the orthodoxy or heresy of the man who was on trial. THE ORDER FOLLOWED. In opening the discussion this morning Dr. Craig, tho moderator, announced that the two sides would be heard in rotation. Ins general DB, HINKLEY. way the two sides were simply divided on the question whether the assembly would go on with the trial at once or would send it back to the synod of New York to be tried before that body. There were many evidences of feeling and several of the speakers took advantage of the opportunity presented by their position to arraign the defendant, to shake their fingers sternly at him, and otherwise to express their condemnation. As one brother expressed it, “They forgot for the time being that they.were membéfs of the court of Jesus Christ.” DR. BRIGGS. There was one man in the gathering who did not smile when others smiled. It was alla matter of intense seriousness to him, The man was Dr. Briggs himself. Through the long hours of the morning he sat almost mo- tionless, following the words of the speakers with the utmost attention. Dr. Briggs came into church early this morning and took his seat within the altar railing. Beside him sat Dr. Brown, his colleague and friend: Dr. Schoff and two or three more of his supporters, Across the aisle, but within the rail, sat the members of the prosecuting committee. The business before the assembly in ite capacity as a judicial body was very fer- ent from that before a civil court; the methods of procedure were altogether different. The members on the two sides sat there and eyed the speakers precisely as the lawyers in a civil case would have treated the witnesses in the box. Only they did not have the oppor- tunity to cross-examine. It was an interesting spectacle. It wan a scene and a gathering er to be forgotten. WHEN HE SMILED. Only once did Dr. Briggs permit his features to relax into # smile. It was a wonderfully sweet smile, and told plainer than words could have done what the true character of the man must be to those who have the privilege of know- ing him well. A keeu scholar, an intellectual man, 8 deep student of books, strong willed—some say stubborn—he is, perhaps, the very man one would have picked out to take the tof the defendant in a trial for heresy at time and at this end of the nineteenth century. The incident that caused this change in Dr. Briggs’ face was enough to make any one emile. As soon as a speaker bad concluded there would be a dozen, two dozen men on their feet clamoring for recognition, so great was the desire to speak. The moderator was like to go mad from worry, for how could any man have given satisfaction at such a time and with such a gathering. Finally his attention was called to & passage in the book of rules, which provided that when the moderator recognized two speak- ers at the same time he must give preference tothe man farthest from him. The natural Tesult was that for a time pretty much all of the speakers came from the back part of the eburch. “Mr: Moderator, point of order,” shouted a reo oe the right-hand side and in front of the ehure! is your point, brother?” “I would suggest that all of these famous men of the Presbyterian Church who are sitting up here in front, and as a result have no chance to be heard on this floor—I would suggest, Mr. Moderator, they all go back in the rear of’ the church, and then, maybe, they will have a chance to be recognized.” Then everybody laughed. It was another let off from the safety valve. It wasa grateful break. Today Dr. Briggs looked very worried and tired. There were lines about his face, espe- ‘MR, M'DOUGALL, cially above his eyebrows, that showed clearly the fatigue under which he was Inboring asa result of the strain under which ho has been for the past few days. With hands folded in his lap he sat for hours, calm, collected and as cool as might be. CHRISTIAN COURTESY. There was one particularly pretty case of Christian courtesy at the morning session to- day, while Elder McDougal of the presbytery of Elizabeth, N. J., the second speaker of the morning, was on his feet. While he was speak- ing he’ made a remark to which | Dr. Briggs evidently took exception for he spoke a low word of negation and there came near be- inga lively exchange of words between the speaker and the defendant. Rather, there would have been if Dr. Briggs had not kept firm bit upon his tongue. At the close of Mr. McDongall’s ten-minute speech Dr. Briggs rose and on the point of a question of privilege said that he had been misquoted by the speaker and what be really had said bad been put in a false light. He asked permission to put himself right before the assembly. Cries of “*no,”’ “no,” “out of order,” and ex- pressions of that sort came from all’ parts of the church. It looked as though Prof. Briggs would be utterly downed, when suddenly there stepped forward upon the platform an elderly gentle-faced gentleman, | who in a kindly voice pleaded with the assembly that justice be done Prof. Briggs.

THE MORNING SESSION. All the parties to the great controversy were on hand in time to lift up their voices in the hymn that closed the opening devotional exer- cises. Rev. Dr. Schoff, who sits with Prof. Briggs and his friends, was called upon to make the closing prayer. and Dr. Briggs and the members of the prosecuting committee all sang with much heartiness when the leader started the hymn. When the minutes had been read Mr. Frank- lin Shepherd asked to have the minutes so amended as to show that the moderator had DR, MALL. stated that at the end of the four hours’ debate he would entertain an amendment, if offered to the pending motion, to refer the case back to the synod. . Judge Wills questioned the right to admit such an amendment, insisting that the order prescribed by the book of discipline required them to vote on the question whether they would entertain the appeal. The moderator said that, considering the Rrave issues at stake, he had never known an assembly to proceed in so calm and orderiy « manner, These parties here, the prosecuting committee and the appeliee, bad done as well eeany judges could expect. Now that ther ‘been heard the judicial committee had brought ina resolution providing for a four hours’ discussion. Of course they had to have the motion before them. shall the sppeal be entertained? Some of the brethren had raised the question whether an amendment could be brought in. It was then late at night and every one was fatigued. The moderator then had sid that the moderator would at the close of the debate entertain the amendment, bav- ing, however, great doubt as to the legality of such measure, and as to whether an amendment toa motion prescribed by the book of dis- cipline would be in order. They would, how- ever, he believed, be able to lay the amend- ment on the table if it were not proper. Mr. Shepherd said the statement was not en= tirely satisfactory, and in order to bring the “ 3 Mae \ “ti \ saad matter up in proper form be moved to recon- sider the vote by which they had adopted the resolution to enter upon the debate, A motion to lay Mr. Shepherd's motion on the table was carried.

POINTS OF ORDER. Dr. K. P. Ketcham of the Elizabeth presby- tery was the first speaker recognized and he took the piatform. The moderator, turning to : “Dr. Ketcham, which side of the question do you represent?” “I will represent the proposition that the case be sent to the synod.” said Dr. Ketcham. Prof. Brown rose, ashe said, to a question of Privilege, and was recognized by the moderator. Mr. McDougall made the point that no mem- ber of the New York presbytery would be al- lowed the floor at this time, as he was construct- ively out of the house. Mr. Brown said that there were one or two commissioners from New York who were not quite eatisfied that the meeting last night was in strict accordance with the book. He wanted w inquire whether the moderator would hear a statement of one or two considerations on that point. 2 The moderator said he could not and Prof. Brown took his seat. DR. KETCHAM’S ARGUMENT. Dr. Ketcham then epoke. Dr. Ketcham said he first wanted to give notice to all those who wanted to speak on the Proposition to refer to the synod that they would have to do it during the four hours’ de- bate, as there would be no other chance. Then he wanted to give notice of a resolution, which ed to cffer at the end of the four hhat it is the judgment of the assembly that the whole case be and is hereby referred to the synod of New York for its adjudication at its next meeting.” A member here rose and suggested that if every speaker was going to introduce notice of what he proposed to do at the end of the four | hours there would be no end of the debate, Dr. Ketcham said it would come out of his | ten minutes.

Reports Received at the State Department From a U. 8. Consul. No dispatches of very recent date have been Teceived at the State Department from Nicaragua, and, in fact, the officials are still in ignorance of the arrival of Minister Baker, but | some of the belated consular reports that are coming to hand throw some light on the present | situation. The United States consul at San Juan del Norte, Mr. Braida, sends a report of date May | 9, and from his statement that telegrams to the interior of the country are not forwarded from San Carlos, it may be surmised why Minister Baker, who is supposed to be at the capital, Manaqua, in the interior, has not been able to communicate with the State Department. PROCLAIMED PRESIDENT, The consul says that telegrams received by the intendente at Del Norte state that the city of Rinas was taken by Gen. Eva, and that Don San Tago Morales, one of the richest men of the country, bas been proclaimed president of the republic by the revolutionary party. Following up this move, the revolutionists took the town of Jnotepec, which is really the key to the capital of the country, after a resist- ance of four hours. This news came by way of Castillo. | The consul also received come advices privately from Bluefield to the affect that the cities of Roma and Bluefield had been occupied by the revolutionary forces under Felix ro.

It Will, therefore, correspond in rank with the £nglish and French embassies and will number third in the order of establishment. The name of the Italian ambassador is not announced, but there is reason to belie that Baron Fava, the pres- ent minister, will be promoted to that rank in order to allow him to remain on diplo- | matic duty at this capital. In that case Baron Fava, who was formerly dean of the diplomatic corps, will be third in the order of seniority. Assoon as the necessary formalities have been observed in this matter the President will exercise the power conferred on him by Con- gress and change the designation of Mr. Wm.
