This creed will go before the next general assemblv in Portland, Ore., next May. It will not he cast by this committee in the mold of the apostle’s' creed or the Nicene creed. Such a creed as this is what Dr. Briggs and his friends want. The committee is preparing a creed that will be more like a syllabus of the Westminster Confession. stating in general terms the dogmas of John Calvin, and set off in about twentysections. It is possible that before the tighty-one churches have done with this concensus creed it may have lost its Calvin-

Utio character and its sectional form.

The committee is also engaged in revieing the Apostolic creed. Presbyterian parents are required bv the church to teach their children the creed. Two phrases have become obnoxious to mmiy Christians, and the last General AUsfemblv suggested striking them out. They are: “He descended into hell," and “The holy eatholic church.” The first is objectionable to Presbvterians because it seems to be in line with the theories of a purgatory, or of a second probation. The second contains the word “catholic,'' which is confounded with the name Roman Catholic church. The committee is to see whether the word “universal" should not be substituted for “catholic.” Dr. John DeWitt, of Chicago, was appointed a sub-committee to prepare a report on these two phrases, to be submitted to the committee at its fall session. Ry that time Secretary Roberts expects to have responses from others of the

tighty-one Presbyterian bodies.

The conductor set his lantern back and fired two shots at the robbers. He at ones wej# back into the car and sought detective Leu Harris, of Los Angeles, and detective Lawson, who chanced to be on the train. Harris got out ot the car on the west side, cud walked up toward where the robbers, who bad gone over to that side of the express car. When about two lengths from the express car, Harris opened fire .with a revolver sending two shots in their direction.

The robbers returned the fire, firing three

shots, all of .which took effect, hitting Harris in the neck and over the left eye. Meanwhile the robbers were compelling engineer Neff to hold a torch, while fireman Wallace worked at the door. They called several times to express-messenger Reed and his assistant, Charles, to open the door and come oat, claiming that they would not hurt Jhem, but they refused to open the door. A bomb was exploded against the door, shattering the beams and making an opening large enough for them to enter through, but the shooting by Harris, and also shot bred during the affray by the brakeman, evidently scared them off, as they left without securing any treasure. Harris was taken to Merced, where he is dying.

New York, September 4.—A genuine surprise was sprung on Wall street lost evening. If was in the form of an announcement that the papers had just been signed by which four of the largest iron and steel works in the country tiad combined and formed a new corporation under the laws of the State of New Jersey. The name of the new corporation is the National tnbe-works. The capital stoek is $11,500,000, of which half is preferred cumulative stock, and the remainder common. The companies comprising the corporation are the National tube-works, of Boston; the Republic iron-works, of pittaburg; the Mouongahcla Furnace Company, of Pennsylvania, and the Boston Iron and Steel Company, of Boston. The different companies manufacture iron and steel tubes for water, gas and oil; drills for oil'and natural-gas wells, muckbar blooms, terno plates and various other iron implements.

Washington, September 4—Secretary Rusk yesterday received a cablegram from Minister Phelps at Berlin notifying him that the German government had rescinded its embargo upon pork from the United States. The embargo has been in operation for about eleven years. Minister Phelps has finally been able to persuade the Germans that the new meatinspection laws are a complete sanitary guarantee, and the farther fact that Germany produces about eight-ninths of all the beet-sugar imported into the United States induced Germany to close negotia • tions favorable to this country. It would have cost the Germans about $20,000,000 for sugar duties if the retaliation allowed by the McKinley act bad been made against them. The President’s proclamation, which will be issued in a few days, will announce the satisfactory settlement of the negotiations on behalf of American pork and will further indicate that free sugar may continue to come from Germany without fear of a discriminatory tariff which the President has the power to proclaim against it. The agreement reiative to the admission of pork into Germany w as signed at Cape May Point about ten days ago, but at the request of tho German government the fact was withheld from th« public press until official action could be taken by the home government. Vhe agreement not onlv provides for the admittance of our pork into Germany, but also affords to the United States the same schedule with reference to our farm products as that enjoyed by Russia. Secretary Rusk is confident that he will soon be able to extend our market fox corn by introducing it Into Germany for mse as an article of tood ip tbe place ot rye, the crop of which in Germany is this year

exceedingly short.

Congratulating .Uuuater Paelps. Berlin, September4.—The United States

Minister, Hon. William Walter Phelps, is receiving many messages of congratulation upon the removal of the embargo placed on American pork. Mr. Phelps yesterday cabled to Mr. Blaine, Secretary of State, at Bar Harbor, Me., informing the latter of the repeal of the decree, adding: “May I, through you. congratulate the President upon the fact that under his auspices a long struggle to secure this right has suc-

cessfully ended?”

Mr. Phelps managed the negotiations with great skill, but at the last moment, after tbe German Government had fully decided to have the decree signed on September 1, it looked as if there would be another delay on account of the hesitation of some of tho petty states. Prussia, Bavaria and Saxony were ready to agree to the removal of the embargo, but two of the small principalities hesitated and threatened to delay 'ah of Mr. Phelps’s work. Finally these two hesitating principalities were brought into line, and the decree was signed which admits American pork into every part of Germany. ^ move Elaiiift tor secretary ot War. Washington, September 4.—A Cabinet ’officer is authority for tha statement that the President is very seriously considering the name of Hon. Stephen B.

Chicago, September 4.—At the opening of the National Columbian commission, this morning, a communication from President Baker, of the local World’s Fair committee, asking the co-operation ot the national commission in securing a loan of $5,000,000 from the Government, for the use of the Fair, to be repaid out of the first receipts, and a resolution of the executive committee of the commission indorsing the. request, were read and referred to the committee on judiciary. Commissioner Towsley, of Minnesota, presented a resolution to the efiect that the resolution heretofore passed for the appointment of a committee to recommend certain modifications of the tariff law, in the interests of the Exposition, be reconsidered and expunged from the minutes. In speaking of bis resolution, Mr. Towsiey said that the rules of the Treasury Department provided for the whole work which it was proposed for the committee to do in the matter of the admission of goods intended for exhibition at the Fair. This action of tbe commission, he said, was liable to misconstruction; it bad been publicly misconstrued as an attack by the commission on the McKinley law. Furtbermore, it would put the commission at odds with Congress and would interfere with its work in securing tbe proposed five-million-dollar loan for the Fair. Commissioner Harris, of Virginia, the author of the resolution which it was proposed to rescind, said the resolution was not aimed at the McKinley law—it would apply alike to the old tariff law, or to the Mills bill, had it become a law. The resolution was entirely non-political. Its object was merely to relieve foreign exhibiters of unjust burdens. After a long discussion the resolution for the appointment of a committee was reconsidered by a vote of 32 yeas to 23 nays, and it was referred to the committee on legislation after Commissioner Waller, of Connecticut, had made a speech deprecating the political tarn which the matter had taken in the public press and in the commission. He declared that no politics were thought of when the resolution was passed, and said that when the Democrats got ready to fight the McKinley law they would do it’openly, not under cover of an insignificant resolution. A resolution.pledging the commission to take up and consider the Sunday-closing question, as soon as it should properly come before that body, was unanimously passed. The auditing committee presented its report, showing oti estimated excess of expenses by the commission for the year ending July 1 next over the appropriation of $23,000. In order to avojd this the committee recommended that tbe April meeting of the committee be postponed till July; that the pay-roll of the director-gen-eral be reduced by $3,000; that tbe salaries of $5,000 each, of the president of the commission and the vice-chairman of the executive committee be discontinued after October 1. Vice-Chairman McKenzie, of Kentucky, said that the reports seemed to be aimed ut him; it appeared that there was a conspiracy to eliminate him from the commission. This was unnecessary, as in his own good time he would eliminate himself. Tbe whole trouble was that he had retused to sanction a report of tbe finance committee which he had not bad an opportunity to see. The report was referred to the committee on by-laws and the commission adjourned. THIS IS HANGMAN’S DAY.

She refused to see aim, and be sent a second message saying that he wanted to get some ot bis things which she bad in her trunk. She went to her room to get them for him, and was immediately folbefore she was aware

utes later a scream was heard from Mrs. Bulling, .followed by three pistol shots in quick succession. The proprietor of the hotel, Mr. Talbot, rushed to the room and burst in the door. Bulling was standing in the center of the room with a revolver in his hand, the dead body oi his wife was lying near her open trunk with a bullet wound in the back of her head. Bulling became a raving maniao, and threatened to kill his captor and himself. After a desperate struggle Mr. Talbot overpowered him and turned him over to the police authorities. He was tried and convicted at the lollowi:

Filled With Many Worthleaa Page® Printed Year After Year—The Cost.

A barrel of Indiana’s good money is “blown in” every year on State reports. The original design of having State officers print reports presumably was to put into official and permanent record the business of their respective offices. Some of the departments have become feeders for the State printer. Their reports have grown to enormous size. In all Indiana prints every year about 105,000 volumes of more than 5,000 pages, for which it pays about $21,500. The following shows what “reports” were printed lost year and the number of pages of the larger volumes. The others vary

from 50 to 150 pages.

Tbe child writhed in agony, bnt tbe woman in attendance deeming it the result of the fit, paid no attention. Finally the pan wae removed, and when the child wae taken out of it the akin and flesh peeled off its body in large pieces. The child died soon after. The authorities are investigating the case.

A favorite theme of his has been to criticise “poor little Indianapolis” for her abominably slow street-car service. Last night he got on an electric car and took a ride to Fairview Park, but on the return he tried to jump off the car without even having its speed checked. As a result he fell beadlong on the asphalt pavement and broke his left arm. Dr. F. E. Manker attended him. Mr. Lauferty says he is now convinoed-tbat Indianapolis transit is too rapid for him, and when he gets back to New York he will tell the people there eo, and thereby repair the injury done to the city he so frequently defamed.

An American Abroad Astonish** th* Jockey Club.

The late Col. John A. Bridtreland, waa fond of a good story and occasionally told the following on himself. It will be remembered that Bridgeland was United States consul at Havre, France, between 1872 and 1881. He was fond of good horses, was posted on horse flesh. During the latter part of his term as consul, he was invited to attend the anuual “Four-in-hand Drive” at London, as the guest of Lord Louadale, who bad a splendid team of blooded chestnut sorrels, but tho owner, having had but little practical experience with horaes,eould notget much speed out of them. Colonel B. was invited to ride beside “my lord,” whoso coach was not far from the rear of tbe procession. The horses were nervous, worried a good deal, and did not travel as well as usual. Finally Lord L. said: “Mr. Consul, do you drive?” “Oh, yes,” replied Colonel B., and he accepted the proffered reins. His practiced eye and experience told him that the horses’ heads were reined too 1 high and the martingales were too short. Thereupon ho suggested to his host that be “pull out” on the road-side and have the groom arrange those matters, to which Lord L. assented. This difficulty arranged, they were in the rear taking the dust of the entire procession. Colonel B. inquired whether it would be a violation of the rules to pass nearer to the front. “No, indeed,” said Lord L.: '‘pus everyone you can, excepting, of course, the Prince and Princess of Waite,” who were in the lead. Colonel B. soon gave the horses to understand that an expert was holding the reins, and, with a few strokes of the whip the team got down to business and passed almost to the front of the procession. As they whirled by first one alter anothei they discovered that an American was driving, and no little curiosity was excited among the members of the club, as well as their fair guests, to learn who it could be. At the end of toe drive a number of Lord L.’s friends, including ladiee, came forward to be presented to the American- Nearlj every person presented to Colonel B. com jWAtiriated him upon being “so excellent a On their return, Colonel B. was again invited to hold the reins. He was now on his “mettle,” and, having become satisfied the team he was driving was one of tha best in England, he purposely started late, and before they arrived at the club-house in London he wae only two conches behind the Prince and Princess of Wales. That night Colonel B. attended the Jockey Club annual banquet and responded, to a toast. “The American Turf.” The Colonel did not take the trouble to explaiu that more than twenty years of his early life was spent in driving a peddling wagon drawn by four horses over the hills and worst roads in America peddling tobacco. "if I had,” Bridgeland would say, “there is scarcely a man in that club that would not have turned his hick upon me.” STOP WORK*FOR A DAY.
