At th lose of the morning session , adjournmci vas taken to Monday morning , and at thl ime the debate on the proposed plan ( gathering In the seminaries Into a close an ; uardcd fold will be resumed. The net n ult thus far attained has been to divide tti ssembly Into two clearly marked partlei nd it Is Judged that the line ot cleavag s near the numerical center of tile body , ' . cems probable the vote of four to ono thi was recorded last year will be wiped out 1 large part and the disproportion great ! educed The committee which Is urgln he adoption ot the plan providing for close clatlons between the assembly and the scm narles saw Itself compelled by tbe Btrengt f the opposition which has developed I mport Thomas McDougall of Cincinnati , member of the committee , to present tli egal side of the case This he did In peech of an hour and a quarter , but li abored under a heavy handicap on accout f the pamphlet which he recently publlshe Hacking the Integrity and faithfulness ( he boards ot Home and Foreign missions 1 N'ew York for using funds given for mli lonary purposes In the erection of a larp suildlng on Fifth avenue The peroratio t his speech was devoted to rev lew In .irejudlces created by his pamphlet and tl degree of Ills success will only be shown I he final vote ALTERNATIVn PLAN PROPOSED. There Is a plan on foot to secure the adot Ion of an alternative report replacing that < he committee. H Is proposed to recommen hat In vlsvv of the answers made by the d ectors ot the existing seminaries settln orth their unwillingness to make any chai er changes , these seminaries be lot olom nd that the restrictions that have been dt Ised by the committee will be applied enl o institutions that may hereafter bo chai ered This plan will have strong backln nd will meet with goad support. Union seminary in New York Is the bet olre of the conservative element In this ai lembly. This was shown In the mornln icsslon , when it was referred to as the caus if all this disturbance Dr Brlgga ho carcely been mentioned and the odlui vhlch attached to him has been transferre o the seminary directors In New York Or f the speakers declared that when they r < mdlated their agreement with the assembl hey took out valuable endowments whlc longed properly to the church as such. One of the strong objections to the pla if the committee on seminary control ! hat it involves recourse to ths civil court 'or the settlement of ecclesiastical dlffei nces The answer to this made by a lawy < ke Mr. McDougall was regarded by some i sort ot steclal pleading , and his referent o creatures of Caesar appealing to Caesi Called to carry conviction to all. Thus far nothing has been heard ot tl rilans for the deposing of Dr. Briggs. whlc tvera said to be under serious conslderatloi But the assembly Is young yet and those wl , vere active In the condsmnatlon two yeai go ore now absent from the scene. It mo > e these plans are now simply in abpyoni o be sprung upon the ass3mbly at a lati date. date.Tho first quarter of an hour w given to miscellaneous business , and i hat point the floor was again accorded Dr. McKlnney , whose speech last night wi Interrupted by adjournment. His argumei concerned the objection that the plan pr posed will act as a barrier to union wll .he southern Presbjterian church , and tl ipeaker claimed that the action of tha churc .iad taken more extreme action than that no under consideration. It was also claimed th ; the plan was fully In accord with the polli of the Presbyterian church , and those wl objected to recourse to the civil courts I ecclesiastical bodies , were characterized ; "supersplritual advocates. " The speaker pr ceedod to consider the attitude ot the Bern narles and rcgrettsd their unwillingness i Indisposition to do what the last assemb suggested , and urgea by an overwhelm ! ! vote. He closed with a plea for a large m .orlty In tavor of the committee's recomme : datlon. Hon. E E. White of Columbus , the ne president of the board of directors of Lai seminary , was granted the floor , but befo he began an attempt was made to limit tl time of debate. It was briefly discussed , b ov rwhelmlngly defeated. The moderator a nounccd plenty of time , no favor and a cle field. Judge White began in a cool and dellbera way to set forth the position of the partite to the question. He asked that the assemb come to a clear understanding of the condltli of affairs. It was urged that the last asser bly had sent down overtures to the semlna dlrectori s , and that the answers that ha come back should be regarded as final n ; conclusive , and that they should be treat with respect. On the contrary , the comml tee has asked the assembly to accept Its Jud ment and dictum In place of the mature Jud ment ot the directors ot the seminaries und advice of counsel and thoroughly acquaint with the facts. This was called "a lar contract. " UNION THE CAUSE OF MISTRUST. After reviewing the position of the semlna jes and showing that Us plan is impractical ! In regard to come of them , Judge Wh urged that tbe matter be dropped. He ask what the cause of the distrust In the chur has been , and a voice from the audlen called out , "Union seminary. " "Yes , " replied the spsaker , "and becai Union did it therefore Princeton must gi the bonds , but for this reason discredit shot not be thrown upon the other semlna boards " When mention was made of the report tl had gone out of Cincinnati regarding Li smlnary directors a convntssloner jumped his feet and made a point of order agad such mention. The moderator refused to n on the question , but requested the speaker exerctao care in the Una of his dlscour The remainder of Dr. White's address had r erence to the history ot Lane seminary , she Ing that Its original endorsements had be made on a liberal basis and charter , and st Ing that there had been changes In the c < itltutlon of Ohio which nuke alterations the seminary charter Impossible , without feeling all the educational Institutions In I state. Strong objection was mada to I appended statement ot Dr. Young made y terday that no seminary Is a Presbyterian stltutlon which cannot make the changes p posed by the committee. Judg ? White spoke for over an hour , e after a brief Introduction by Dr. W A Muti more , who replaced Dr. Young a * chairman the committee , Mr. Thomas McDougall Cincinnati was introduced as a member of I committee. He addressed himself first to t objections that assembly control would aft the title to trust funSs and that seminar which cannot make the changes proposed undenominational and nonpresbyterian. OMAHA AS AN EXAMPLE. Answering the question as to how the o dltloni proposed by tbe commute * could adopted by the seminaries , he cited the c ot the Omaha seminar- , which had put th Into its articles ot Incorporation. Ho ass-r that the funds of the Union seminary la N York are held under a charter which is frea Irani the control of the courts of Presbyterian church 11 the Standard Oil cc pany la and that any typo of theology can taught there which is not repugnant to laws of the state of New York. The eei narles were said to be civilized corporatli and. therefore creatures of Cjear which n justly bo brought before- Caesar for ju ment. Tha general assembly la not a le entity and cannot have a standing in courts of the country unless the right given by the seminaries through changes the charters. The tlmeot the esaton was extended flft minutes to allow Mr. McDoug ll to DnUh. i at the cb o the floor was cl > ea to Dr. W. Thompson , president of the Miami unlversltj at Oxford , O , Just nt the time of adjournment n telegrnn ot greeting was read from the Presbyterlai theological students In the Moody school , Chi cigo , and It was referred to the committee 01 corre pondenco for a sultablo reply.
