Church He \Vohld Seek Recognitimi in Some Other Religious Body. WASHINGTON, May 26.—The General As- sembly yesterday reached the conclusion of the argument by parties in interest upon the recommendation of the judicial tom mittee that the appeal of the prosecut- ‘ ing committee from the judgment of the New York presbytery in the case of the Presbyterian church in the United States of America against the Rev. Charles A. Briggs, D. D.,v be entertained; - Professor Briggs spoke‘altogether. four and a half hours at. three different sittings of ‘the "court. Colonel J. J. McCook, of the com- mittee on prosecution closed the argument on behalf of the prOsecution. Dr. Briggs continued his argument as to the right of the assembly to consider the appeal, and then devoted his time to the possible result of a condemnation Of his inaugural address. He said in part: “The appellants desire that there should b: a distinct and definite condemnation of the alleged errors of Dr. Briggs. But how can the General Assembly condemn them unless they are proved to be errors? How can they be condemned as errors in an un- lawful manner? Unless they are con- demned in the form of laws. who will re- spect such condemnation? “The only sfiect of the adverse action taken hitherto has been to call the defend- ant to the defense of his inaugural and win the support Of a host of friends all over the land in defense of the rights of scholarship and opinion. “If this general assembly should over- come all the right of the defendant and do him the wrong of reversing his acquittal by the presbytery of New York, is there any likelihood that the defendant would yield his opinions? Do you suppose that Dr. Briggs would cease his teachings on the meotcd questions? Would candidates of the ministry cease to attend upon his instructions? You know well enough that none of these things could happen. ' “If, on the other hand, you should send this (use where it belongs to the synod of New York, and then, in the regular course Of proceedure within the limits of our constitution and with the guarding of all rights, the supreme court should eventu- ally condet‘m Dr. Bri gs and exclude him from the ministry of the Presbyterian church in the United States, the defendant would acquiesce in the result and would seek recognition by some other church of Jesus Christ. _ “They ask you to make haste and settle the dispute at the earliest possible day. The defendant is more anxious that the case should be speedily settled than the appellants can be. But greater interests than his own are at stake. He ’is called to be the standard bearer in a battle for truth and right. He cannot return his sword to its scabbard until truth and right have won. But such haste is in‘de- cent iu the courts of law. Justice does not hasten. Right does not speed, be~ cause \it is sure of ultimate vindication. “The massive walls of law and equity fran upon this appeal. Upon these battle- ments the appellee takes his stand. The constitution of our church is his banner. Here he will remain standing whatever may betide. He can do no other. Here stands the presbytery of New York, which has acquitted him. Here stands the synod of New York, which has taken jurisdic? tion of his complaints. Here will rally sooner or later all who are loyal to Presby- terian law and discipline, all who have confidence in truth and scholarly investi- gation; all who would advance in the lines of ”the h'stogc fajfih and order of our 0, urch; a 1w 0 ice the peace and pros. ' _ ‘tyof the kingdom ofGod.” é. Briggs closed with an appeal, touched h a suggestion of pathos, that the case, might go to the synod of New York. He regretted if he had said anything that had caused trouble in the church. N one re- gretted it more t an he did. lie had taught for twenty years at the Union Theological seminary, he said appealingly, almost pathetically. Only four other chars of Presbyterian theology had ta 'ght longer than he; only two had been the instructors of more ministers of the church than he. Of all persons that had been taught by him he challpnged any of , t m to say that he had taught them any- t, that had interfered with the true ‘ _ cfarge of their hbly duties. ‘A te'r an interval of fiveminutes Colonel :"J."J.3McCOOki:began4the’cl'osing argument for the prosecuting committee, in support of the recommendation that the appeal be entertained. The history of the case in its various stages was recited by Colonel McCook,and the regularity of the several steps firmly maintained. Colonel McCook said: “Great weight has been given to a technical ques- tion raised in the interest of the appellee and of delay, based upon a clause con- tained in the fifth amendment of the con- stitution of the United States, which is as follows: ‘Nor shall any person be subject for the same offense to be twice put in jeopardy of life and im“.’ ~ ’lhise are not criminal proceedings involving peril to the life or limb of the appellee. They are pro- ceedings to enforce a contract, or rather to determine whether the contract has been , maintained in all its integrity. ' If ~ it s ould be shown that the appellee has not maintained the contract in all its integ- « rity, the loss of his ‘ecclesiastical life’ wouldmean simplythe loss of the benefits 1 which he at one time enjoyed under the l calitract which he had broken.” ‘ . Colonel McCook next considered the plea . that an acquittal by a lower court bars the ! right _of appeal, and asserted that such a' , m 15 not true in fact nor sound- in law. 1l 6 discussed the operation of the law in ; church trials and the provisions of the j o' urch constitution on appeals. It was ,; a regular, the speaker maintained,- for f; the appeal to be taken direct from the g presbytery to the General Assembly, and f such a proceeding is not in derogation, _ either of the rights or dignity of,the inter. ~' vening synod. In conclusion Cblonel Mc- Ccok said there were special reascns why . this appeal should be received by the as- sembly without having first been taken to y the synod of New York, saying that it is imperatively necessary .1 that a final de- > cision in this case'be reached at the earliest possible date.

THE' VALKYRIE DEFEATED. Prince of Wales' Brittania Wins the ' Thames Club Race. LONDON, May 26.—The Prince of Wales’ cutter Brittania won the Thames club race. and ‘the prince expressed himself highly satisfied with the performance of his boat, which was one of the three Scotch cutters recently built on the Clyde for this season’s racing. Lord Dunraven’s Valky- rie, built to contest for the America’s cup, was second; the Iverna third, and the Calluna fourth. The unwonted interest shown by the Prince of \Vales is supposed to have been due to his intention to try to beat Emperor William’s yacht Meteor with the Brittania at the Cowes races. The Official time was: Brittania, 5h., .‘36m.; Valkyrie, 5h., 33m.; Iverna, 5h.,38m.;\ Calluna, 5h., 54m. The first prize was given to the Brittania, while the Iverna took second prize on time allowance. There was a grand race “between the Britannia and the Valkyrie to get around the Mouse lightship first. The Britannia secured the honor by a narrow margin. The turning was a marvellous change from the old time sailing, for by her short- ness and depth of keel each was enabled to turn almost as if on a pivot. Soon afterwards the Valkyrie began closing the gap, and she was almost at the heels of the Brittannia when her topsail Was smashed. Then her bowsprit broke Off short, bringing down everything. She had to lay and refit almOst entirely before proceeding. The Calluna went ashore at Lower Hope Point, leaving only the Iverna the chance of saving her time. Mayor Stuart in Control.

His house was one of the many consumed. For about and year Mr. Goldie’s wife has been paralyzed, and is unable to help her: self. When it became apparent that their house was doomed Mr. Goldie went for a carriage and carried his wife to it. He was none too soon, for the flames were so near that the vehicle was set on fire. The rouple escaped safely, however, after a sharp drive. During the progress of thefire the ex- citement was intense with groups gathered on the sidewalks and lawns and with anxious eyes watched the flames as they Ipproached nearer to their dwellings. In spite of all precautions, many lost all their clothes, save what they had on, their backs. Early in the progress of the'con- fiagration the electric cars stopped running, the near approach of the flames to the power house rendering it necessary to close down.
