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.

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.

Judge Cole , denying the demurrer to the

Wilson , attorney for defendants , will give
notlco of appeal Monday , It Is now the In

Judge Cole Is sustained In llto court of ap

render themselves to the marshal and then
apply for a writ of habeas corpus , which
would bo carried to the United States supreme

has decided not to wait until after the ap

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

THE MESSIAH OF THE GOSPELS

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

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 :

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
