SMITH'S HERESY.

Cnclnnati, Nov. 17.—Mr. Smltli'g
heresy trial was on again today. Dr.
Lotve arguing the cage In belmlr of the
nivswcutldg commlttep. He dwelt at
length on the necessity of preaervitig
belief lu tho Infallibility of the Bible,
that It Is tlio very word of Gou. and
said that to teach that Biblical hiHtory
writers wero so unreliable that the
truth of history therein contained can
only bo discovered by such investiga
tion, discrimination and siting as is
necessary to discover the truth in his*
tories by uninspired men was to throw
the whole Bible to the wind3. Abso
lute Inerrancy of the Bible Is the belief
of the Presbyterian thurcU, and not
to rely upon it Is to givo up the entire
basis of tho .thumb's doctrine, in dos
ing he considered the charge which ac
cuses Professor Smith of deuylng a
full Inspiration by the holy spirit,
which Professor Smith construed to
mean that It was tdiargcd he had sin
ned against the holy ghost.
When Professor Smith arose to re
ply he exhibited the first e.lden e of
feeling yet shown. "If what Is now
charged against me by the committee
Is to be taken as tcue. then It Ls the
duty of the bouse to declare me guilty,
and to not only depose me from tny
ministry, but tb excommunicate me
from the chnrch. if the committee
make these charges why did they not
put them in the Indictment? I had
thought that the development of Chris
tian graces, memy, kindness, charity,
love, and the like, were among the es
sentials of Christian life rather than
tie absolute uniformity of belief in the
doctrines of tho confession faith. It
the committee is right I ought, to he
excommunicated, but let me say that
such an action will excommunicate a
large portion of the membership of the
Presbyterian church, Including many
nt Its most exemplary, faithful and
pious ministers.''
Dr. McKibben answered that the
committee had no thought of charging
him with sta against the church. Dr.
s argument showing the logical
consequence of what was considered
to lie the error of Professor Smith.
Professor Smith went ou to say that
the whole tenor of the argument tills
afternoon indicated that the committee
proposed Uf make him more guilty
lhan he bad been charged. Subordi
nation of hypocrisy was the liost name
lie could suggest for the offense which
the committee made In ono of its
charges. The presbytery adjourned
until Monday next

ofwlth obtaining $39.UU0 from attorney
Arthur L. Tomes of Brooklyn, on false
pretenses, came up in ths tombs police

of Miikiewlc*. Tome* went on the

therance of a plan to send a man to
China to gain railroad concession* aud
secure th* acceptance of ex-Senstor

be said, gave him to understand that
Col. 11— lot F. Shepard was ha. king tbe
scheme and would bu in a vague sort
of way security for the loan.
Col. Shepard took tho stand. He said
he met Mitkiowicx about three years
•go. Ths Count soon after unf .ldcd
his plans for building railroads 4n Cb.na.
The Count said he bed lived in Ch na
an.l knew the Chinese government were
favorable to having American capital
bui.d railroad lines there, end that If
little money was spent Judiciously the
enceesary concessions could be obtained
from Viceroy Chang. Hq declined to

CATHOLIC ARCHBISHOPS.
Parorhlul Srliools DlteaMed by These
High t'nthollc omelals.
Now York, Nor. 17.—Tho confersmtt
of Catholic orclibisliops which began yts-
terilay at the archbishop's residence was
reaumtil today, all being prwnt. Tn
accordance with the determination here
tofore arrived at no details on the sub
ject* dincusBed or tho result* slrcn.ly
reached were ffiv.n out for publication.
It is comtidered significant, in view of
the general impression that the members
of tie conference would conclude their
labors in one day, that it was found
neceasary to extend the period of itsde-
iibestutiou. The. cense undoubtedly is
the delicate points involved la
the discussion of. the relations between
the state and parochial schools. The im
portance of this conference is only un
derstood by persons flimiUar with Cath
olic church affairs, said a clergyman of
that denomination today. The heads of
the archdioceses in the United State*
are by no means of one mind. Soma
think parochial schools should be allot
ted a share of tbe school taxes raised
by the state commensurat* with tho
amount paid by th« parent* whose chil
dren attend the parochial schools. Oth
ers favor a compromise by which there
schools will bo subject to inspection by
state officials, and one or two deem it
advisable for Catholic duudreu lu attend
public schools under certain restrictions
and safeguards. The result of the delib
eration are oert : a to have important
bearing upon the future of the OathoUo
church in this country. From snot Iter
source It was learned that the parochial
school question wns debated by tho
tuchbluborb- Anfhbishop Ireland pre
sented in detail the working of his Fari
bault plan, while Archbishop Corrigan
expressed views he Is known to enter
tain on the subject. It is tho conviction
of tbe Roman Catholic conservatives,
led by Arakbifhop Corrigan, that in tbe
course of ths next firs years the school
qu°stlon will settle Itself if the rocotn-
mandations of the third pimutry council
arc carried out. Tbe council ndvis-,1
the erection of a school in every parish
large enough to accommodate nil tho
children of Roman Catholic parents in
that parish. Hundreds of schools have
been established within the past eight
years, and hundreds more it is added
have been planned sunl wlU be carried
out as soon as the necessary funds can
be raised.
A leading clerical said today: “I no
tice the newspaper* have neglected to
state one of the principal topics to bo
discussed by th- conference, vis: the ad
visability of pouting at Washington a
duly aocredt.v- representative of tho
Vatican. There ia a likelihood that fol
lowing the discussion of the matter ky
tho archbishops Monsigu.tr Satolll may
be induced to bring It to a crisis by re
porting tn the Vatican that slope should
be taken looking to tho appointment ot
u papal legate to Wo-ihington."
Others discredited the idea end said
they did not believs such a thing would
be done.
