The ground for the opposition to Pro-fessor Brigg and to his remaining in care of the chief seminary of the churchjs tumid in his famous inaugural address delivered on January 'JUth last, 'i be address may tie sum-- j nmm.ed as follows: "Three great fouu-- tains of divine authority ; 1, the bible;! 2, the church; 3, reason, and these three must bo in harmony. To make them harmonize the obstructions raised by misguided men must he removed. No one of the three is obstructed as tne bible. Its obstructions are suptTsit-tiou- s reverence of the book; belief in inspiration in each word; mistake iih to it authenticity; acceptance of its miracles as historical truths; failure in the fulfillment of lU miiiute predictions. Not until the human race removes these obstacles can the bible and the church exert their full power.

Up to noon today it has been impossible to learn anything further concerning tho report that the Italian cabinet had decided to request I'uited States Minister Porter to leave Home, in cae no reply to Premier Kudini's last note is received fronl Nee-retar- IMaine by tomorrow. The ofli-cia-are reticeut, and tho journalists are unable to secure a confirmation or denial. At the American legation nothing could be learned. Minister L'orter has heard nothing except what he has read in the papers. In well informed cir-cles thu prevailing opiniou, as nearly as one cau gather, is that the premier will not proceed to extremities at this junc-ture. ' Nkw Youk, April 13. A Washington special says the letter from Secretary Blaine to Premier Rndini has not yet been sent according to tho best advices from the department of state. The of things at the de-partment is soitiewhat less tranquil than on Saturday, though tho idea of hostilities is still pooh-poohe- as ab-surd. The president's preparations for his trip have not been changed in any respect and this is considered a sign that he at least does not deem the situ-ation at all critical. THE CHICAGO ELECTION.

After all the delays and after Fred Hall bad nearly completed n set of plans for the new Spallord building on State street, whie-- i was to contain a Masonic temple, there is to be another change in the arrangements, and Hall's plans will not be used. This is made necessary by the leaie on the ground for fifty years, which Alderman Spaf-lor-today executed to Messrs. O'Mear & Miriam of Denver. The lessees give the assurance that they will immedi-ately coiiiiueuue the construction of a block which will be larger and very much more e pensive than the one which Mr. Spufloid couteiuplated building. They jiromi.se that the block which they will build will be livo, and probably more, stories high, and that it will be equal to anything on that street which is either built or intended to be built.

DEEP CREEK ST ACE LINE. Stork ami rnarhva etirt.d fur tli. Fad of tli. Track Tud.r. The stock and coaches for the new stage line which is to run from Stock-ton to the mines of Deep creek were started over the road today. Reg-ular trips will not be made for a short time, as it will tirst be necessary to establish stations, dig wells and "haul feed ahead for the stock before it be undertaken torcceivo passengers and laud them at their des-tination on time. Stations will be made at'St. John's, Skull, Government Creek, ISuHioti, Fish Springs, Willow au.l Clif-ton. Leaving the terminus of the railroad near Stockton at 11:15 a. ,ni., the stage is expected to arrive at Clifton the next day at 13:4. p. m. The fare fur the round trip will be J'.'.j. or $IT one way, local tare 15 cents a mile. Passengers who desire to make the trip will have to furnish their own blankets and prob-ably their own gtub for the trip, as there is no placo on tho road where entertainment can be procured at any price, because it isn't there. The projectors of tho line do not anticipate that they will be abla to receive passengers sooner than two weeks, as there is an immense amount of labor to be done tlrst in pro-viding for the care of their stock. On the start only trips will be made, but these will be in-creased to a trip a day just as soon as the traflio demands it. Thirty four head of stock have been purchased and are on tho way. but it will be ne-cessary to have twenty-si- more in or-der to" make daily trips. Four-hors- e coaches will be used on the start. Some diflicully is be-ing experienced 'in buying suitable stage stock, as the demand for them ceased in this part of the country sev-eral years ago and now when a good stage horse is found iu the hands of a farmer or dealer, the price asked runs from $tC0 to $000 gv,v - IN THE COKE RECIONS.
