The morning session of the Presbyterian General As sembly plungtd Into the Brlggs ques tion immediately after prayer. Dr. Young, chairman of the committee on bills and overtures, took the floor to present a report distributing a numtter of bills and overtures to several com mittees. Among them were some bear ing dlt'jctly or Indirectly upon the Erlggs case before the Judiciary com mittee. Rev. Booth, of New York, en tered a protest against the obvious at tempt to Influence the Judicial com mittee by pouring in upon it these overtures for and, against the case. Rev. Brown, Erlggs' co-laborer, and sympathizer, said: "We have a right to know thti sen timent of the church upon any subject before It, and the only proper way to secure knowledge of that eentlmfcnt, Is through the committees of the assem bly." Dr. Herrick Johnson, of McCormlck Theological seminary, one of thte fore most Briggs leaders in the body, spoke briefly, and Rev. Thos. B. Hall, of Chi cago, said: "The precedents and practices In civil courts havte no weight with us. No court would have taken up the prosecution of an Innocent man. Eccle siastical precedents are overwhelming ly in favor of the right of petition. It Is a right tevery citizen possesses. (Ap plause.) The recommendation of the commit tee was finally adopted by a decisive vote in the majority. Ex-Moderator Smith, president of the United Christian commission organ- lzed for work In connectlon with the United States Army, submitted statement to the effect that the com mission rnupt discourage the enlist ment of the sons of Christian families Into the army, unless some safeguards now lacking, are thrown around them, Gambling' In the army Is not prohibit ed either by law or regulation, and en couraged by the example of older' offi cers and soldiers, the post canteen af fords unrestricted opportunity for In ducement to drink. Sunday work ' Is not called for by any exigency till re quired by the army authorities. The reccommendation of , religious teachers in the army for the benefit of soldiers did not receive tho approval or consid eration of the authorities. The recom mendation of religious teachers for the benefit of soldiers did not receive the approval or consideration of the au thorities. In fact, they discouraged it The commission recommended the ar my orders of August 6th, last, on this subject, and that chaplains be appoint ed for every regiment. ine recommendations of the com mittee were approved and the report received. The special order for the af ternoon session -was the report of the Judicial committee in the Briggs case, Immediately after prayer, Dr. Baker chairman, addressed the moderator and assembly as follows: "I earnestly hoped that but one re port would be presented by the com mittee, but in this I have been dis appointed. But shall we not 'all re solve that whatever be tho decision finally reached, we will, as loyar Prea byterlans, abide faithfully by the de cision. Let us iesolve, that we will strongly frown down and utterly dis countenance any suggestion' from whatever quarter It may 'ctomq; of schism or of division in our .'dear church. The majority report finds the appeal and specifications of ' error alleged weie called In due time and submit in the resolutions that the appeal should be entered and hours be alotted to the hearing and on'a and-half Aours for the assembly; then the vote upon the resolution that the appeal be enteied by the general assembly and the case proceed to trial In accordance with the provision of the book of discipline. The minority report was read by Rev. S. J. Nichols of St. Louis. He said he knew that in making a minority report he and his associates were under sus picion already as appearing to oppose the appeal. This was not their attitude. They were not. antagonizing the claim of power In tire assembly to entertain the appeal. The minority report recom mends that the majority report be am ended by substituting the following: we find the appeal In order and rec ommend that the parties be heard In accordance with the provisions of the book of discipline. We We ask this for the following reasons: Tho majority re port prejudices an appeal by advising the assembly to do what the book of discipline says shall be done, only af ter the parties have been heard. This report la signed by Myer, Stlbblns, and Nicholas, The majority report has fixed for the assembly, every form of verdict which li was asked to reach. A motion limiting the debate to three hours wo offered, Cutcheon of Detroit, moved to" strHcg. out the limitation. At this point Dr. Briggs aroe to address the assembly, and he and the modera tor engaged In an. animated coloquy on his right to. lie heard. Briggs finally yielded, "then the moderator said: "I would suggest in the Interest of broth erly kindness and peace," "Say justice," said a voice from the gallery, which was said to be that of Professor Henry P. Smith of Cincin nati, and you will," "Don't you puti words Into) .jmy mouth,"' returned Moderator Craig, "I speak for brotherly kindness and peace, which are higher than Justice, for out of them comes Justice." The moderator then announced that In accordance with the book of govern ment, the assembly would be turned Into a judicial court of the Lord Jesus Christ, and following the rules, called for.Qia reading of the judgment notice of. appeal the appeals, and specifica tions' of errors alleged. After this was done by the clerk, the court adjourned till tomorrow. lie .wen An Agrceieiit Finally Heacnetl antl th ' Question Settled.

The following Interesting letter re garding the proposed free trade tariff appeared in the American. Economist on Friday, the. 19th. United States Senate, Washington.- D. C, April 23, '93. Complying with your request for my views upon the draft of the tariff bill proposed by the New York Tariff Reform Club, I am of the opinion that changes In the present revenue laws, such as are proposed by the Reform Club, would destroy the present prosperity of this country, would depress every branch of our In dustries, would close our mills, fac tories and mines, throw thousands of worklngmen out of employment, pro duce great distress among the labor ing classes and eventually reduce the wages of worklngmen In this country to the standard of wages in foreign countries, and the condition of the laboring classes In this country to that of laborers there. Agriculture, mining, lumJJerlng and fishing are among the principal Indus tries of the Pacific Coast. The . pro-. posed tariff legislation which would place all unmanufactured wood, fur ther than planks, staves, shucks, bor- relf, Inths and pulp, lead and other ores, flnh, breadstuffs. hav. vee-ctnbW " t:.": 'KitRticP. rn t'.io freo llttr. t.nd reduce the duties on fruits, would Injure If not eventually de :,troy, our lending industries; while our provvlnpr manufactures of woolen goods, cordage, machinery and many other products would greatly suffer by the removal of the protection now afforded them under existing laws. There Is but one way, In my Judg ment, by which the prosperity of tho country cun be maintained, employ, ment be furnished to labor, the Ameri can rate of wages maintained and tho laboring man be made comfortable and Independent, and this Is by protecting our lnduntrles against the competition of cheap labor products of foreign countries, so that our own work will be done at home Instead of being done for us abroad. Labor Is the source of all wealth. Labor In this country enriches the na tion; but when our work Is done for us abroad It Impoverishes our people, who are thoreby forced to Idleness. Loss of employment means loss of wages, enforced economy, poverty and want. However free-trade might cheapen labor products, no class of our people would be benefited. Tt would corres pondingly reduce the purchasing power, not only of the laboring class, but eventually of all douses of our citizens. J. N. DOLPH. PRESIDENTIAL APPOINTMENTS. Washington, Muy 23.
