The Plankinto‘n Bank Suspension.
MILWAUKEE, J une 2.—Regarding the
suspension of the Plankinton bank of Mil-
waukee yesterday Cashier Mommsen said:
“The depositors need not be apprehensive
of losing their money. Every dollar will
be paid, but it will take a little time, prob-
ably not over two weeks. Arrangements
have been under way for several days rela-
tive to a reorganization of the bank, and it
was thought best to suspend temporarily
in order to properly adjust matters. The
suspension has no significance whatever.”
The deposits are estimated at a quarter of
a inillion. The bank was organized in 1887
by the late John Plan'kinton, the million-
airetpork packer. The capital stock was
$200,000.

in a bet on St. Florian in the toboggan
slide handicap. Another bet was placed
by the princess on the. fifth race, and when
Chorister came in a good winner it was an-
nounced that the princess had won $100
and had presented it to the Catholic Pro-
tectory Orphan asylum.

THE CASE GIVEN TO A COMMITTEE
Upon the Report of this Committee “'ill
Probably Dfepend the Question as 'to
Whether-‘the-- Professor Shall Sever His
Connection with the Church.
WASHINGTON, June 1-.—'_—The fate of Pro
lessor Briggs, so far as his connection
with the Presbyterian church is concerned,
is practically in the hands of a com mittee
of fifteen. On the report of this commit-
tee will doubtless rest the decision of the
general assembly. It was after l0 o’clock
last night when the assembly, by a vote of ,
~375 to 117. decidcd'to sustain Inc appeal
against 'theudecision of the New York
presbytery, and an hour later before it
was decided to place the matter in the
hands of a committee. ‘
» It was 8.45 O’clock when the moderator
put the question. “Shall the specifications
of error be sustained?” and Dr. Roberts;
the stated clerk, read the first specifica-
tion, in substance that the presbytery of
New York, on objections made by Dr.
Briggs, required the prosecuting commit-
tee to amend the amended charges and
specifications by striking out charge 4.
The specification was declared to be sus-
tained by a vote of 282 to 190.
Specifications 2 to 12, inclusive, under
the first ground of appeal, all relating to
irregularities in the proceedings of the
New York presbytery, were sustained
seriatim, some by tally and some merely
by viva voce or rising vote.
The second ground of appeal alleged the
receiving of improper testimony, and was
basedjupon three specifications. They set
up that the defendant should have been
sworn; that the statements and matter in-
terpolated by the defendant into the
record were permitted to remain; and that
the quotations and extracts offered were
received as evidence without his having
been sworn. 0n the first specification a
division was taken, the result being that
the specification was sustained—262 to 185.
The others were sustained by viva voce
votes.
The third ground of appeal was - that of
_ “declining to receive important testimony”
with two specifications, that charges 4
and be stricken out, thereby prevent-
ing the proving of the charges. These
specifications were sustained without a
division.
The fourth ground of appeal alleged
“manifestation of prejudice in the conduct
of the case,” and of its six specifications
the Briggs men carried two and came
within two votes of carrying another.
Specifications 2, 3 and 4, alleging that
the presbytery did not try the case on its
merits, attempted to terminate it without
attaining the ends of discipline and evaded
the issue, were sustained by viva voce
votes.
Specification 5, alleging that Revs. Fran-
cis Brown, Henry M. Field, Thomas S.
Hastings, J. Hall Mcllvane and Henry
Van Dyke, members of the Presbytery,
voted to sustain the accused after they had
been charged in the appeal with prejudice,
was lost by a viva voce vote.
Specification 6 alleged that sundry direc-
tors, ofiicers and professors of Union The-
ological seminary voted to acquit the ac-
cused upon each and every specification
and charge after they had approved of Dr.
Briggs’ inaugural address, which con-
tained the alleged erroneous doctrines. A
viva voice vote was followed by a count,
and the stated clerk announced that it
stood 236 to 234.
The fifth and last ground of appeal con-
tained “Specifications of error,” and it
charged “Mistake or injustice in the de-
cision.” The specifications charged error
in the failure to convict the defendant on
competent charges.
The votes on these specifications resulted
in adeclaratlon that each and every one
had been sustained.
This part of the proceedings having been
disposed of, Rev. W. C. Young, of Ken—
tucky, moved that the roll be called and
the assembly vote upon the main question,
“Shall the appeal he sustained?” which
was adopted. The vote was announced at
10.15, as follows, To sustain the appeal,
375; not to sustain, 117.
After the result had been announced
Rev. J. T. Smith, of Baltimore, moved the
appointment Of a committee of fifteen
commissioners, of which the Rev. Thomas
A. Hoyt, D. D., of Philadelphia, shall be
chairman, to. bring in an explanatory
minute. This was carried. . The mod-
erator was authorized to appoint the com~
mittee.

WASHINGTON, June 1.—-It appears that

Senator Allison to terminate his service as
a member of the international monetary
conference, and it is understood that some
inducements have been held out that may
shake Allison’s determination, and it is
possible that be will continue to serve as a

THE CASE OF PROFESSOR SMITH.
Lane Theological Seminary Criticized for
Retaining Him After His Suspension by
the Cincinnati Presbytery—The Assem-
bly Adjourns to Meet Next in Saratoga.
WASHINGTON, June 2. — The closing
scene in the Briggs case before the Pros-
byterian General Assembly was not wit-
nessed by so large a cro'wd as that which
listehed so attentively to gory other fea-
ture of the celebrated. controversy. In
the galleries there. were some vacant seats,
a noticeable contrast to previous days,
when even the aisles were crowded. Many
commissioners were absent from the floor,
Fhlle there was a lonely ,look about the
able, beneath the pulpit, on each side of
the central aisle, where the ’prosocuting
committee in the Briggscase and the sup-
porters of the suspended professor had sat
during the progress of the trial and pre
vious proceedings. Professor Briggs was
not in his seat, and all the other commis-
sioners who had given him' their support
and counsel had gone with the exception
of Professor Francis Brown, who waited
to hear the verdict and then left the
church. _ .
Drs. Birch and Lampe, of the committee
on prosecution, were also absent, Colonel
McCook being the only member in his
seat. The gallery pew which had been
occupied by Mrs. Briggs and her friends
was conspicuously vacant for the first
time since the assembly met.
The business of the assembly proceeded
as usual ‘while waiting the report of the
special committee on the Briggs case. The
most interesting report was that read by
Rev. John Dixon, chairman of the com-
mittee on theological seminaries. In re-
ferring to Lane seminary the report says:
“In the list of professors the assembly
finds the name of Rev. Henry P. Smith,
D. D., who was in December last sus-
pended by the presbytery of Cincinnati for
unsoundness in faith. On Jan. 31, 1893,
Professor Smith tendered his resignation
to the board because of that suspension.
The board declined to receive such resig-
nation, but continued him, .by formal ac-
tion, in the duties of his professorship in
the seminary.
“JVhere a minister is suspended he is
suspended from all the functions of his of-
‘fice. Among the most important of such
functions is that of training young men
for the ministry. However serious the
embarrassment to the seminary, the board
should have immediately accepted the
resignation of Professor Smith, or at least
relieved him from the discharge of his du—
ties. Loyalty to the church should have
compelled them to take such action.
they were further bound so to do by faith
fulness to the trust which they have as-
sumed with regard to that seminary. Its
charter requires that ‘all the professors
shall be members of the Presbyterian
church in good standing.’ The assembly,
therefOre, is constrained to withhold its
approval and commendation of Lane sem;
inary until the board has reconsidered its
action in this respect and remedied the
6'error.”
The event of the day was, of course, the
report on the Briggs case. Rev. Mr. Hoyt,
chairman of the committee, before making
the report called upon Dr. Baker, chain
man of a sub-committee sent to, interview
Professor Briggs in a spirit of conciliation,
to report the result of that interview. Dr.
Baker said the committee had hoped that
Professor Briggs would say something
which might relieve the tension of the
present distressing situation. But this
hope had not been realized. Professor
Briggs stated his irrevocable determina-
tion to abide by the declaratiOns made in
his address before the assembly in his de-
fense, and to continue to teach the doc-
trines there avowed. Whereupon, Dr.
Baker said, the committee took the action
which, Mr. Hoyt would now report to the
General Assembly.
The report, after reciting the proceed-
ings in the case, proceeds:
“This judicatory finds that said final
judgment of the presbytery of New York
is erroneous and should be, and is hereby
reversed; and this General Assembly, sit-
ting as ajudicatory in said cause, coming
now to enter judgment on said amended
charges, finds the appellee, Charles A.
Briggs, has uttered, taught and propa-
gated views, doctrines and teachings con-
trary to the essential doctrine of Holy
Scripture and the standards of the said
Presbyterian church in the United States
of America, and in violation of the ordina-
tion vow of said appellee, which said er-
roneous views and doctrines strike at the
vitals of religion and have been industri-
ously spread.
“Wherefore, this General Assembly, sit-
ting as a judicatory in this cause on ap-
peal,'- does hereby fl suspend Charles A.
i I
file
. Briggs from the ofiice of a minister in the
Presbyterian church until such time as he
shall give satisfactory evidence of repen-
tance of the violation by him of the said
ordination vow.”
The report of the committee was adopted,
whereupon Rev. Dr. Sprague gave notice
that at the proper time a protest would be
ofiered against the finding of the assem-
bly as being too severe a sentence for the
Offense of the honoredscholar named and
as tending to restrict the liberty hereto-
fore enjoyed by ofiice bearers in the Pres-
byterian church.
The protest against the action of the as-
sembly in the case of Professor Briggs re-
ceived the signatures of sixty‘three com
missioners, and that against the action
upon the inspiration of the Bible about a
hundred.
Saratoga, N. Y., was chosen as the place
of ,meeting of the assembly in 1894, the in-
vitation of the First Presbyterian church
to hold the session in that church being
accepted.
At 9:50 last night the General Assembly,
having finished its work, was dissolved.
‘ NEW YORK, June 2.-The Rev. Charles
A gustus Briggs, D. D., returned from
ashington last night. The professor and
some of his friends intimated that the
action in Washington did not end the
matter. Something will undoubtedly be
done before long to continue the fight. It
was learned that Professor Briggs would
go right on just as if nothing had hap-
pened, and he will be sustained in his
actibn by the board of directors and mem-
bers of the faculty of Union seminary. .
