SAYS THE BIBLE IS INSPIRED Ho Objects to tli Appeal From tlio Find InS of the Synod and Show Himself .. to its an Aide Advocate, Associated Press. Washington, May 25. In the Presby torlan general assembly today, after briefly restating the point made yes terday, Dr. Brlggs said In part: "The Presbytery of New York, the largest In thv Presbyterian Church, af ter Jong and patient consideration of the merits of the case, gave a verdict of acquittal. Would the .general asstenv bly be, willing to give the same amount of time and patience to the considera tion of thentaits of yie case if the ap peal were entertained? If you override all provisions of the constitution and make civil law usages civil and ecclesl astical In order to entertain an appeal and then rush to a hasty decision, you will strike a deadly blow at the con stitutional discipline of tha Presbyter ian! Church. Is not this tod heavy a cost to pay for the sake of secur ing condemnation of one man, how ever objectionable! he may be? Com mon law lays down this fundamental principle, which applies to this case If to any: It Is for the public good that there be an end to litigation. The gen eral assembly cannot take the case un der consideration. The matter Is In the hands of the synod of New York, That synod has thrown Its shield oyer the defendant and will protect not only him, but Its own rights of hearing the case without having Its jurisdiction Interfered with rashly by the assem bly. If the assembly entertains this ap peal the glory of the synods will have departed and those who have thus suc ceeded In breaking down the prece dent will drive a coach and four through the breaches in the palace of justice. If the assembly should decide to come to the final decision of the New York Presbytery, It would not yet be a final decision, for the defendant pres bytery and synod could not accept It as either constitutional or valid." Dr. Brlggs spoke bitterly about the omission from the brief of the prose cutors of questions put to him to test his faith and his answers thereto. He wished to make an explicit denial of the charge that he had preached doc trines against the fundamental doc trines of the Church. "I affirm that I believe," he said, turning with outstretched hands to the audience, "the Holy Scriptures to be the work of God." Brlggs closed with an appeal that the case might go to the synod of New York. If that were done, he would aid In a solution of the case, and then if It were sent back to the next general assembly, he would abide by its de cision, whatever it might be. He re gretted it If he had said anything that caused trouble In the church. He had taught for twenty years at the Union Theological Seminary, and of all the persons that had been taught by him. ho challenged any of them to say he had taught them anything that had Interfered with a true discharge of their whole duties. Dr Brlgg3 conr eluded his address at 3:10 o'clock and as he took his seat a wave of applause ran over the rear of the church, which evoked. an indignant tebuke from the! moderator. Then Colonel McCook began the clos ing argument for the prosecution. The committee was In support of the recom mendation that appeal be entertained Almost at the opening, Dr. Brlggs In terrupted to correct what he claimed was a misstatement. Moderator Craig said to Dr. Brlggs that he had been allowed four and one-half hours with out Interruption; that McCook heard him through without an objection, and that Brlggs should , allow McCook to- go on In the same way. Colonel McCook said: "Great weight has been given the technical questions raltted In the interest of the appellee and based on a clause In the fifth amendment of the Constitution of the United States: 'Nor shall any person be subject for the same offense to be twice put in eopardy of life and liberty.' It had been Ingeniously claimed that an appeal from the New York Presbytery would place the appelee'a ecclesiastical Ufa In jeopardy a tt?cond time. ThUr Is an Inappropriate use of the term "ec clesiastical life. It seems to have con fused the minds of some. These are not criminal proceedings Involving peril to life or liberty of the appellee. They are proceedings to enforce a contract, or rather to determine whetrer the con tract had been maintained in all Its Integrity." In conclusion, McCook gave the reason of the prosecuting committee why the appeal should be entertained. Among other things, they say It Is Imperatively necessary that a final decision shall he reached at the earliest possible date, as a great and widespread Injury is certain to come from protracted delay. If the doctrines presented by Dr. Brlggs be erroneous as tha committee believes, then through delay the 'Heretical opinions' are sure to gain ground and' the Church to be affected injuriously through the con tinuance of uncertainty and doubt.

Discussions are frequent In shipping circles as to the best time made by a sailing ship between this const and England or vice versa. Tho following lette.r written to the Commercial News of San Francisco, will, therefore be of interest: "It Is a generally accepted belief that the 89 days 8 hours run of the Flying Cloud, arriving April 24, 1854, is entitled to be called the "record" passage. Those Interested In the ship Andrew Jackson, which arrived here April 24, 1800, have, however, alwaya claimed the exact time of their ship to lu.vc In?, n S9 days 7 hours, thus giving her tho first place. Without attempt ing, at this Into date, to settle the dis pute, It would appear that the Jackson Is entitled to second place at least, as she had actually beaten the original, fast passage of the Flying Cloud, 81) days 23 hours, One reason for decrying the Jackson from leading the list Is said to have been the fact that she was nota "clipper," her model being decid edly Inferior to thoce of the boasted skimmers of the sea." but In all she was a good sailer and made a remark ably fine record, as the following rec ord of her first six voyages will shows Arrived from New York November 20, 1855, 128 days;February 20, 1S57, 103 days April 27, 1858. 99 days; April 5, 1859. 102 daye;March 24, 18G0, 89 1-2 days: May 4, 1801, 103 days. On her ISj'J trip she left New York a day after the cel ebrated' clipper Sweepstakes, arriving S days ahead, and besides the runs above she has some fast passages to the east ward. The fourth best run from New York was by the sworansn, arriving F-bruary 1. 1852, 90 days 18 hours. Some rave claimed that this ship act ually passed Inside of the Farallones on her 87th day out, but was unable to eet Into the harbor until 3 days latter. This statement Is, however, not based on fact. The ship had a fine run up from from the equator, belnb but 19 days and her log showed that for the last fewday of the voyage she had
