A LARGE ATTENDANCE EXPECTED The Individual Branches They Represent. Societies and WORK OF THE CONGRESS The third triennial meeting of the con- gress of American Physicians and Sur- geons will be opened in this city at Metze- rott's Music Hall at 3 o'clock tomorrow afternoon. It will be the second meeting of the congress in this city, the first one having been held here in September, 1691. At that meeting of the congress some five or six hundred members were in attendance, and it is the impression of Dr. S. S. Adams of this city, chairman of the committee on arrangements, that the meeting this time will bring together the largest number in the history of the congress. The congress is composed of fourteen dif- ferent societies, the American Ophthalmo- logical Society, the American Otological Society, the Association of American Phy- siclans, the American Orthopedic Associa- tion, the American Physiological Society, the American Pediatric Society, the Ameri- can Surgical Association, the Association of American Anatomists, the American Climatological Association, the American Dermatological Association, the American Association of Genito-Urinary Surgeons, the American Gynecological Soctety, the American Laryngological Association and the American Neurological Association. ‘These societies meet annually as individual societies and every three years they meet together as the Congress of American Phy- sicians and Surgeons. But they never lose their individuality, for even at the time of the triennial congress the societies hold entirely separate meetings on the days of | the congress. These separate meetings, however, do not interfere or conflict with the meetings of the congre: being so ar- | Tanged as to time as to allow members to attend the meetings of the congress and their own particular organizations. At every meeting of the congress seven of the socteties occupy the attention of the con- gress, every one of the seven having as- signed to it one of the general sessions. At this meeting of the congress the last Seven of the societies named above will claim the attention of the meeting. The congress will be in session four days, tomorrow, Wednesday, Thursday and Fri- day, and the different societies composing it will for the most part also be in session on those days. The congress will be formal- ly opened by Dr. Landon Carter Gray of New York city, the chairman of the execu- tive committee, at 3 o’clock tomorrow after- noon, and from 3:30 to 5 a general session, under the direction of the Association of American Anatomists, will be held, when the subject for discussion will be “Morphol- ogy a8 3 Factor in the Study of Disease.” jose taking part in the discussion will be Dr. Harrison Allen, professor of compara- tive anatomy in the University of Pennsyl- vania, and discussed by Dr. Thomas Dwight, professor of anatomy in the Har- vard Medical School; Dr. Frederic H.

SMITH. The Presbyterian Assembly Him Guilty of Heresy. Prof. Henry Preserved Smith, D. D., for merly professor of Hebrew in Lane Theo- logical Seminary at Cincinnati, was on Sat- urday declared guilty of heresy by the Pres- byterian general assembly. The vote was announced as 396 to 101. A committee of five was appointed to con- fer with Prof. Smith as to further ings in the case. Its object is to obtain from him an expression of views with the object of defining his position in connection with the decision of the highest court of the church. Dr. McKibben stated that if expression of submission can be obtained oom! Prof. Smith the presbytery of Cincinnati » 2) 4 any directions which the assembly Sue regarding his -elnstatement. The synods which cast solid votes against Dr. Smith were: Atlantic, 7 votes; Ken- tucky, 6; Missouri, 16; Nebraska, 15; New Mexico, 6; Oregon, 8, and Utah, 4 Those who voted solidly in favor of Dr. Smith were: China, 2 votes; India, 1, and Texas, & Baltimore was 12 to 1 against Prof. Smith; New Jersey, 2) to 4; New York. 35 to 27 Pennsylvania, 72 to 9: Tennessee, 5 to 1, Washington, 6 to 4. The New York cliy del- egation voted solidly against Prof. Smith. ‘The charges on which Prof. Smith was tried are as follows: 1. The Presbyterian Church in the United States of America charges the Rev. Henry Preserved Smith, D. D., being a raintster in said church and @ member of the presbytery of Cincinnati, with teaching in a pamphlet, entitled “Biblical Scholarship and Inspira- tion,” contrary to a fundamental doctrine of the word of God and the confession of faith; that the Holy Spirit did not so con- trol the inspired writers in their composi- tion of the Holy Scriptures as to make their utterances absolutely truthful, 1 e., erate, free from error when interpreted in natural and intended sense. (The above charge was supported by eleven specifications, each giving a reference to the pamphlet). 2. The Presbyterian Church In *he United States of America charges the Rev. Hen Preserved Simth, D. D., a minister in church and a member of the wiery of Cincinnati, in a pamphlet, entitled “! Scholarship and Inspiration,” while elt that the Holy Scriptures are inspired, an infallible rule of faith and practice, with denying in fact their inspiration tn the sense in which inspiration ts attributed to the Holy Scriptures by the Holy Scriptures themselves and by the confession of faith The various trials of Prof. Henry Pre- served Smith have already been dragging along the presbytery and synod for almost two years. His case came up before the Cincinnati presbytery for trial on November 39, 1892, when he refused to offer any testi- mony in his own defense, urging that @ wrong interpretation had been put «pon his writings. He finally was brought to explain his stand, but not to the satisfaction of the presbytery, which, on December 13, when the trial ended, sentenced him to suspension from the ministry by a vote of 31 to 27. The next day the sentence was before the presbytery, and Prof. Smith announced bis intention to appeal to the synod of Ohio. The trial on appeal came up before the synod in session at Cincinnati on October 13, and on the following day the body, by @ vote of 78 to Si, sustained the action of the presbytery. Prof. Smith then appealed to the general assembly. Foun@ The Commissioners Saturday afternoon witnessed a practical experiment of the workings of the Smith automatic car fender. A dummy was thrown across the tracks in front of the District building, and « grip car coming at full speed, with the fender attached, promptly picked it up. Several trials were made, each of which proved successful. Ex-Commissioners John W. Douglass and L. G. Hine also witnessed the experiment. The Commissioners were well pleased with the result,
