Having started 1n by praise of the kaiser, under whose wise and beneficent rule Americans av Berlin lived so happily, bis next sonteuce came as a surprise. Aftera moment’s hesitation, he resumed: “And lov us be thaokful that we have ' Bismarcik. When the monarch of Friede- richsruhe roars the whole world keeps silent and listens.” At the namo of Bismarck there had been a dead silence in tho lavge banqueting hall and then followed the hearviest, warmest applauso of the eveniug. The next sentenco was still more galling for tho present gov- ernment and Caprivi. When the echoes of | applause had coased, Mr. Phelps added : “And let us be thankfult we do not belong to a esuntry thay is forced to keep up & huge stunding avmy."” More scathing comment than the above coming from the mouth of a diplomat, could scarcaly bo imagined. At the prosen moment it can not be looked upon s other- wise than the severest condemuationt of Caprivi and the army bill of Caprivi. There was not a word of the govsrnment, not a mention of the kaiser, the highest praise, and of Bismarck a tribute of the highest kind as a power in the world and as a statesman of supreme talent next 1o whose gigastic per gonality all others dwarfod, It Will he Remodeld, few the Since conceal stands Caprivi's speech the fact that but poor chance wg in s orignal form.

Tho parliament committee was powerless to order an autopsy, and he declined to insti tute judicial proceedings, as it was the duty of the judges of instructions iu the Panama canal prosecution to cause a search of Bavon Reinach’s bouse if he thought it necessary. Ha concluded by asking that M. La Ferronnayes question be put in the form of an interpellation. He declared thav for bimself he had acted strictly from a sense of duty. He had not considered thatho was compelled to take legul steps, M. Brisson supported M. la Ferronnayes’ demand and said that the oficial seal should be aftixad to Bavon Reinach’s papers, as it should be imperative that the truth should be discovered. [Applause.] He concluded by moving a resolution of regret that these papers had not boen sealed immediately on the death of the baron. Premier Loubet arose and daclarad that that which M. Brisson requested was illegal. M. Brisson protested, M.

It would be impossible to remt large sums of silver abroaa, owing to the buik. Gold would be seut, even if it had to bo bought at a premium.” Referring to the depreciation of silver he said o addition: iermany’s action in 1573 andithe action of Italy, Russia and Austria 1o mussing gold is couclusive proof of the oppreciation of the great Buropear countries of the advantages of a gold standard. I canuot deplore the abil- ity of Indian exvortors to seud wheat to England, sinply because it interferes with the British farmer. I hold that wheat ay 30 shillings, instead of 45 shillings isa blossing rather than otherwise, However, I think that the fallin the price of cortain commodities is due to overproduction, chiefly owing to the development of new regions and to the increased facilitios of communicatior, enabling products to be Placed at low prices in European markets, Apart from other considerations, it seems to me that a universal orrangement of tho currency question is impo-sible, As the wealth and the sources of exponditures of no two countri va alike, it would be impos- sible to carry on the trade of the world ov a suund stablo basis if the debtor were auowed the option of paying in which- over currency suited him. Although I hope that I huve shown that bimetallism is impossible in England, the question aris whother or not it is possible to extend the use of silver, thereby stoppiag a further fail and its disastrous consequences, whereof it is impossivle to foresee, I therefore submit the proposal, not as an absolute, lasting rem- edy, but as & paliation." “If you approve the plan" continued Mr, Rothschild, “you can make a supplement to itin any way you thivk proper before sub- mitling ivto the governments. 1 think that such an arrangement will give general satisfaction., [ believe that our American friends will find it acceptable. 1 see no objection to silyer being made a legul tender in Engiaud, I believe that the proposal will be well re- ceived in India. ‘The bulk of the population will recognize thut no material alteration 15 sugested, while the merchants and baokers will kuow' that the excuanges are givon a stability which will remain undisturbed during u period of five vears. *[ustabie exchange mote than deprecia- tlon s the chief factor au India.

Ho sawa that the objections of Dr. Briges and his expressed purpose to carry his objsetious to the synod should not be iuterpeted as obstructions to the trial, but as an honest expression of con- viction. Healso said that he believed tho prosccuting committes was equaily conseien- tious. At3 o'clock Dr. Briggs bogan to read s answer to the chirges as amsnded. The re- Sponse was amost_exhaustive summing up of his defense, and it required two hours for him to conclude. Demurred to the Trial After stating that he bad no personal de- sire to delay the actual trial of the chargo against him on its striet merits, Dr. Briggs showed that it was necessary for Litm to act as s own counsel, and in this capacity he had no right to puss over techuicalitios or to allow the presbytery to es:ablish dangerous or illezal precedents. Dr. Briges then made his frst demurrer to the trial of the preos- ent charzes because the charges put n tis hands on November 0. 1802, wero finuily aisposed of by the dismissal of tho charge made on November 4, 1501, and that the pres- bytery could not lezally cite him a second time to answer to churzes which thoy haa dismissed. The sccond objoction which Dr. Driggs raised was to tha order and regulurity of overy proceeding in the presbytery in any action taken againsthim since the dismissal of the original charges in 1801, “But it is notfor me,” he said, “to advise the presbviery what course it shouid pur- suo. I have done my rull duty in filng these objections. I have only this further work, that, if the presbytery decides agaist me, [ shall proceed, under protest, and with the reservation of all legal rights of securing such redress in the higher courts as may be neecessary.’ His Second Point, In the second objection ot his protest, Dr. Briggs dealt with the ircegulavity of tne counts to the original charees, He pointed o't that amendments to charges by the law of the church are restricted tochange in form and not to changes 1o substauce, He then said: 1 object to the HI‘;(‘IL!(“‘ chargzes—that the naturo of the ovidinal clia has heen changed.
