THE OMAHA DAILY BEEAjSUOTAY , NOVEMBER IS , 1894. DO NOT AGREE WITH MEADE Naval Authorities Take Issue with Him on the Oruisor Question , ARE BOTH ECONOMICAL AND EFFECTIVE Columbia nnd Sllniieiipolln Cnn Overhaul Any Hhlp Allo.it Kxcopt the Lucanla and t'ninpitiilu hhlps of the I.rtttor blr.o Ion I'tutly , WASHINGTON. Nov. 1. The first paper read by Admiral Meade before the Society of Naval Architects at New York , in which he condemns the building of fleet cruisers Ilka the Columbia and Minneapolis , and of small cruisers of the Detroit class , has caused much discussion In naval circles here , nnd U Is safe to say that the bulk of opinion Is strongly opposed to the admiral's Ideas. In the first place , It Is held that he makes an unfair comparison between the giant Cunardcrs , Campania and Lucanla , and the Columbia , the first two of 13,000 tons and the latter ot 7 , " 00. The speed of a ves sel Is dependant upon her size , and to build a cruiser of the slzo of the Campania and equip her for war purposes as Is the Colum bia , would bring her cost up to the enromous figure ot { 5,000,000 , a figure that no congress would consider. The machinery and coal supply of those vessels weigh moro than the total displacement of the Columbia. In the entire commercial marine of the world there are but two vessels fleet enough to slip away from the Columbia and Minneapolis. These cruisers were built to fill the need for ships of moderate cost and displacement and of great speed , and It Is claimed they have fully realized expectations. They could not , It Is true , drlvo ahead across the At lantic at full speed , but they could certainly catch any ship they might sight save the two Cunardcrs , and they would run down the Majestic In two hours after sighting and Identifying her , gaining at the rate ot two and one-halt knots per hour. At cruising speed they carry enough coal to make three trips across the Atlantic. They draw only twenty-two and one-half feet of water , while the Campania draws twenty-seven feet , and the latter Is consequently unable to enter more than two or three American harbors. They might liavo been made moro speedy , or might have had a larger coal supply , but any change would have been at the expense ot some necessary quality , and they well represent the balance ot efficiency that Is aimed at by the naval constructors. U Is pointed to as the best evidence of the value of these two vessels tha fastest cruis ers In the world that other maritime powers are striving desperately to equal them. France has tried it with the Dupay do Lome and failed ; Germany has tried It with a trlplo-scrcw ship , and Great Britain is now building a monster of 14,500 displacement twice as big as the Columbia to beat her In speed. The New York and Paris arc well adapted to make splendid cruisers , and the navy con use thorn , as well as the new St. Louis , in time of war , but there are not enough of these fleet boats thus available , nor Is there a prospect that there will be In the near future , so that the government Is required to protect itself by building Its own ships. itiroiiT. : Bureau Hun Saved the ( iororninent Math Mora Tlmn It Oinf. WASHINGTON , Nov. 17. The annual re port of Supervising Special Agent J. C. Crowley - loy has been submitted to the secretary ol the treasury and shows as a partial result of the work ot the special , agents that 135 suits were brought. Involving $141,000 In value- for violations ot the revenue laws. There were 589 seizures , of the value of more than $175,000 , and the amount recovered on account of fines , penalties , Increased duties , rebutting from undervaluation or errors In classifications discovered , exceeded (323,000 The expense of collecting the reve nue was reduced nearly $100,000 or the reports made by the special agents , Which amount was largely In excess of the cost of maintaining the force of agents dur ing the last fiscal year. In referring to the trials at Portland , dur ing the summer and fall of 1S93 , Mr. Crowlcy states that In all about forty persons were indicted for conspiracy to Import Chinese laborers and smuggle opium. Ho states thai the 'fact vras established that more than 1.50C Chinese laborers and 30,000 pounds of opium had been smuggled Into Portland , Ore. , from British Columbia In a period of less thar twelve months and that seven of the prin cipal smugglers pleaded guilty and thrct others wore convicted. The supervising agenl reports that Chinese laundrymen who desire to leave the United States and to return In vest small sums In the business of dealers Ii : Chinese groceries or other merchandise thereby establishing a claim to consideration as merchants. As a result ot this practice much difficulty was experienced during the last year In enforcing the law relating tc the exclusion of Chinese , of whom G.SOC made application for admission , and ot the number 1,2-11 were rejected. There were 1,169 Chinese laborers permitted to pass ir transit through the country , their destina tion In most cases being Havana. Mr. Crowley - ley Is of the opinion that the treaty lately entered Into with China , which provides foi the return to this country of Chinese la borers , will , It ratified , greatly Increase th ( work o'f special officers , as U Is certain thai the number .of applicants for admission wit exceed that of any year slnco the passage ol the first exclusion law In 1682. In speaking ot the force ot special agcnU In Europe , he stales that In one Instance suit has been instituted for the recovery ol $55,000 , and in another for $35,000 , the in formation In both cases being conclusive ami furnished by the agents abroad. A seizure of $50,000 worth of Jewelry by one of tht officers of the special force , is cited. " One of the most important recommenda tions made by the supervising special agenl has reference to the reorcanlzatlon of Hit customs service. Ho urges the abolishment of roany of the ports , where the expense ol maintenance greatly exceeds the receipts , and suggests a plan whereby all necessary facil ities for documenting vessels and the trans action of similar business may be furnlshet without the present expense. Mr. Crowley recommends the abolishment of bonds given by Importers of merchandlsi which is entered for warehousing or trans portatlon la bond , for the reason that tin Koods In either case are protected by thi bonds of the warehousemen or the comtnor carriers. In speaking of the territory of Alaska , thi supervising agent expresses the opinion thai laws similar to those provided by the gov rnment for other territories should bo en Acted for Alaska.

The opinion of Judge Cole , denying the demurrer to the sugar Investigation Indictments ot McCart ney , were entered on the record today. Mr. Wilson , attorney for defendants , will give notlco of appeal Monday , It Is now the In tention ot the defense , In case the opinion of Judge Cole Is sustained In llto court of ap peals , to have McCartney and Chapman sur render themselves to the marshal and then apply for a writ of habeas corpus , which would bo carried to the United States supreme premo court. District Attorney Hlrney has notified Judge Qlttenhoffor that he will call up at once the cases of his clients , the news paper correspondents , Messrs. John Shrlver of the New York Mall and Express and B.

The district attorney has decided not to wait until after the ap peal In the brokers' cases , which will be made next week , but to go nhead and push the newspaper correspondents' cases as soon as possible. The overruling ot the demurrer In the Chapman case does not affect mate rially the canes of Messrs. Shrlver and Ed wards , 'or It was not a test ono In their case. As soon as the cases are called Judge Ulttenhoffcr will demur against the Indict ments against his clients , and this will be argued , most likely , before Judge Cole again.

THE MESSIAH OF THE GOSPELS Prof , Brlggs' Book Given to the "World Aftoi a Long Delay , MINUTELY DISCUSSED THE SECOND ADVENT htntcn IIU Ylotrt on the Question of tha Iteiurreotlon n Llttlo Moro Clcnrly Tlmn Heretofore DcdlcutPd to llcnry Preserved Smith. NEW YORK. Nov. 19. The Commercial Advertiser this afternoon will publish n syn opsis of the latest work of Prof , Charles A. Jrlggs of the Union Theological seminary. The book , "Tho Messiah of the Gospels , " Is ntcndcd to follow "Messianic Prophecy , " vhlch caused so much comment when p'ub- Ishcd , In 1886. It was the Intention of Dr. Brlggs to publish "Tho Messiah ot the Gos- > els" In 1887 , but the charges of heresy were irought about that time , and ho has been compelled to defer publication until now. 'ho dedication runs as follows : "To Henry reserved Smith , true scholar , faithful trletid and bravo companion In holy warfare , tills jook Is dedicated In sympathy and love. " In his latest book Dr. Ilrlggs has entered minutely Into a discussion of the second ad vent , Ho is convinced that the faith of the church of the day Is defective In Its lack of comprehension of the reigning Christ and n Its neglect of the second advent of our The chapters upon Immaculate conception vlll perhaps call for the most criticism. Ho ays : "Tho blessed virgin was residing In Nazareth ot Galilee , betrothed to Joseph , of ho royal line of David , the heir of the ilosslanlc promises ol the Old Testament. The time for marriage had not yet come. od had a higher appointment for her to ulflll as the virgin mother of the Messiah , "The virgin conception of Jesus as an nounced by the archangel Is not to ba In- erpretcd as If It were a miracle In violation of the laws of nature , but rather as brought about by God himself , present in thcophany. The words ot the angel Imply a theophanlc presence , though It might bo urged that the coming of the spirit upon her was an In visible copilng , after the analogy of many > assages of the Old Testament , yet the par allel statement that the divine power over shadowed her cannot be so Interpreted. "This annunciation represents the concep- Ion of Jesus as due to a thcophanic. It docs not rotate the doctrine of his pro-existence , although that doctrine Is a legitimate Infer ence. It represents an early stage of New Testament chrlitology. It does not go a step beyond the Paullsm of the Iplstle to the Corinthians. It 1m- illcs nothing more than the tending In ilrth taught by the Epistle to the Gallatlans and to the Romans. It is really a more primitive and more simple chrlstology ot con ception. " FOUR GOSPELS REVIEWED. Reference Is made to the light of the logla , ho discussion of which played so prominent a part at the trial ot Dr. Briggs .for heresy. "lo says : "Tho gospels give glimpses of the Ife and teachings of Jesus , from four differ- mt points of view. Mark Is the simplest and earliest in composition. Almost all that Is ; lven in Mark reappears in Matthew nnd uko , both of these gospels using the carllei Mark. Matthew Is distinguished by long discourses of Jesus upon several great themes , Wo find very much the same matter In otlici connections In Luke , but only a limited portion tion of It in Mark. It Is evident that tht gospel of Matthew has grouped the words ol Jesus about several themes. As It depended chiefly upon Mark for the historical matter , ; t also depended upon the logla of Matthew tor those discourses. The logla of Matthen Is the collection chiefly of the sayings ol Jesus made by the Apostle Matthew In the Aramaic language , according to the tesfimonj of Paplus. This logla was lost at an earlj date. But the most , It not all of Its con- : ents , are in the gospels of Matthew ani Luke.1 Luke gives them iribrc Inthe circum stances of their' utterahces- , * The _ gospel ol Matthew arranged' them In n topical ordei without regard to these clrcunistances Those discoveries of Jesus from thd logla ol Matthew are rich and pregnant with Messi anic material. The gospel of Matthew' give ! other sayings of Jesus and reports other act ) of Jesus , which were taken probably fron other sources , written or oral. The gospel 01 Luke uses the historical material ot Mark gives the sayings in the logia of MattheM Lhelr original setting , but It also give : original matter not found ( n the othei evangelists. It is probable that the mate-la was chiefly derived 'from a third wrllter source. The gospel of John Is different from tlu other three , In that \he material Is cntlrelj lew. It gives us more of the esoteric leadi ngs of Jesus , nnd events of a more private and personal character , all bearing the marks of deep and thorough reflection , upon tin person and life of Jesus , " ' CONCERNING' RESURRECTION. Dr. Brlggs makes a special study of tin second advent of Christ. He makes thl : discussion cf the second advent of grcatoi Importance than most theologians havt deemed necessary , and has brought nianj truths to light that heretofore have rcmalnei hidden , or have at least been disregarded. Dr. Brlggs' views on the doctrine of tin resurrection have aroused considerable com ment. It was said that ho was obscure He says : "The hour of the resurrection I : coming. It cannot bo said of it that 'II now is , ' or that It Is at hand. We have however , a prediction of thrpe resurrections the first spiritual , the last universal ; llu Intermediate one distinct from the first am the last and impending being connected wltl the resurrection of the Messiah himself. "Christ first predicts the Importation o everlasting llfo to all who hear the word o : the Messiah and bellovo In God. All such havi passed out of death Into llfo. They will m more die. They will not come to Judgment It Is a Bplrltual'resurrectlon imparted by tin word of the Messiah to all believers durtnt the physical llfo In this world. It Is als < predicted that an hour Is coming and nevIs Is , when the dead will hear the qulckenlni volco of the Son of God and live. Thi hour coming points to the future and , there fore , Indicates a dlffeient resurrection fron the spiritual resurrection of the prevlon : section , which was already enjoyed by al who heard the Messiah's words and believed Christ also predicts a universal resurrectioi ot the dead at the ultimatum Judgment , li which some will rise to life and others ti condemnation.
