The errors in the ContePsion nf Kaiih were only incidental, and he believe. 1 the minority report offered tny relief. He was atraid of the Idea of compromise, 'fture was a time lor ccnrrorr.lso. i-ut he would earnestly try to Rft what he wanted before he- wouid turn to a proposition to compromise. Till. JOHNSON KXTLAIN3. Itev. Dr. Herriek Johnson, of Chicago, a member of the committee cm revision, explained the reasons of the majority for inserting Recommendation IJ. He carefully analyzed the Confession of Faith, and ft ho wed the henetit.s to be derived from a. ehort creed containing the essentials of the "Westminster doctrine. lie said: 'The Confession contains statements not essential to our system of doctrine. Tho form of fcubycription prove this. We receive the Conies hm as containing the system of doctrine, not as the doctrine itself. Specilic Confession statements prove the same point. Take the oath chu.e. A man may believe that or not without affecting his Orthodoxy. The Confession says there are two scriptural grounds lor divorce. I don't believe it. There is only one. We know what that is. Willful desertion is not sulIlcient ground for divorce. We miy believe this, and our stand as orthodox Presbyterians is not questioned." lr. Johnson cited the consensus creed of and the Confession of the Pre sbyterian Church of Kngland as examples of brief systems of doctrine which might be followed by the Assembly. With a summary, l)r. Johnson said, the ystem would be better understood, would be invaluable on mission fields. Such a creed, lie assorted, would dissipate all doubt regarding the eubscrlption to the system of doctrine. It would also relieve the conscience of good xr.en now troubled about ordination vows. Dr. George T. Purves, of New York, followed Dr. Johnson, after which a vote on the minority report was taken. Th mj- ' tion as originally put was to substitute the minority report for the report of the majority, but by an agreement of both Bides the motion was changed so that the vote would be on the question of striking out Recommendation IJ. The two report 4 agreed on everything but this recommendation. The motion to strike out the recommendation was lost by a vote of 234 to 271. Joseph 11. Vance, of Chicago, moved the previous question on the original motion the adoption of the majority report In its entirety, but after the moderator said h hoped the matter would be laid over until Monday the motion to move the previous question was overwhelmingly defeated. As the Assembly had agreed to adjourn at noon to-day to accept an Invitation to visit Princeton University, adjournment Vag taken until 9 a. m. Monday. Before, the Assembly adjourned the moderator announced that Dr. J. I). Moffatt, president of Washington ;m I Jffr.nn University.
would have the floor at tne -pninpr or ino tlebate on Monday, as he wished to offer an r.rr.endmer.t to tho motion to adopt the majjorltv report. When Dr. Moffitt was asked what the nature of his amendment was he said: "I lnn't know what It will b-. but in view of the divided vote I want to think and confdier something that we can send to the church with creator unanimity." The commissioners left for Princeton on & special train at 1:43 p. m. Commissioner nt Princeton. riHNOETO.W N J...

The question .whether a man can marry his wife's sister vas submitted to the General Assembly of the United Presbyterian Church this inornlnjf in the form of a, report for a change recommended by the committee on bills and overtures in the confession of Faith of the Church. The committee, recommends that Inasmuch cs the overture submitted to the churches has received a majority that the section be declared repealed and subxnitted a resolution to that effect. The Judiciary committee reported a recommendation that inasmuch as the request made to indorse women's suffrage relates to the civil status of women it Is not deemed expedient that an ecclesiastical court take action upon the matter. The discussion of whether the creed shall te changed to admit members of secret societies to the church listed two hours and the matter was then referred to the Judicial' committee, which will report Monday. Two amendments were offered to that section which declares that there does not xlst such a demand for a change in Article WEATHER FORECAST. I'robnbly Fulr To-Iny nntl To-Morrovr Warmer on Monday.

13 as to warrant an overture on the subject. The first amendment, offered by Dr. A. G. Wallace, of Allegheny Presbytery, is a compromise.

"WASHINGTON, May 25. Robert T. Hill, chief geologist of the United States Geological Survey, has returned from an extended geological Investigation In the Texas oil fields and has made a report which says: "The importance of this oil field Is far greater than at present can be described or estimated. It means not only a cheap fuel supply to the largest State in area in the Union, but owing to Its proximity to tidewater It promises an export trade such as exists nowhere else In the world. Preparations are being made to sink hundreds of wells and very soon the present output of öoo.ooO barrels daily may be quadrupled. "It is entirely within the limit of probability that oil will be found at many places throughout the coastal prairie, especially In Its southern extension toward the Rio Grande and In the northwestern state of Mexico at Tamaulipas. The outcrop of the territory formations in southwest Texas, in Wilson, Atascosa, McMullen, Duvail and other counties is naturally rich In oil, and the practical oil men are risking their money in experimenting in that region. A3 the oil-bearing tertiary strata extends east oi the Mississippi into Mississippi and A'abama it is not beyond possibility that oil may be found in both these States. It Is impossible now to state exactly the extent of the oil-yielding territory which supplies the F.eaumont well, and th!s can be only determined by drilling experiments. "The area of profitable exploitation of the l.eaumont oil fields is confined between the San Jacinto and the Sabine rivers, east of the Houston & West Texas Railroad and south of Oil City, Nacogdoches county. This area may be extended or restricted by future exploitation. "It is very probable that other oil fields may be discovered in the coastal plain between Reaumont and Tamplco fields. Hero lies a vast territory underlain by the oiltearing eocene formations which has not been exploited." MISCELLANEOUS BREVITIES. The damage caused by the heavy rains at various points In the South, occasioning considerable delay to the mails, as well as passenger traffic, has been repaired and the complete resumption of schedules over all branches of the Southern Railway is announced. In reference to the announcement that the Partridge committee on the Nathf.n Hale statue for Yale his asked President Iladley to withdraw publicly his first le.tcr to the alumni, which Implied that lie? c mmittee's statue project was uniucifrlzcl, the Yale president said yesterday that, as far as he is concerned, the ineielcnt is already closed. Johnson Hammond, a wealthy farmer living six miles south of Wheollng. V. Va., disappeared ten days ago. and his body has now been found In the Ohio river at Procton. A bullet hole in his head indicates murder. Charles Lutz, son of a prominent citizen of Moundsvlllo, W. Va., was arrested yesterday on the charge of the murder. The man known to the police as L.vds Mortimer Monroe, under arrest at Washington. D. C for alleged complicity In the robbery of Mrs. Ollvia C.

Negotiations have been in progress for some time fur the abrogation of two treaties between the United States and Tunis. The negotiations are based upon the fact that the political status of Tunis has undergone a marked change within recent tars, so that she is now practically a dependency of France.

WIND AND SANDSTORM. Wires Prontrnted and Hallivny Tracks Hurled Out of Sight. SALT LAKE. Utah. May 23. A heavy windstorm has been sweeping over Nevada, Utah, southern Idaho and Wyoming for the past thirty hours, the velocity at times re-aching fifty miles an hoi r and over. The storm has resulted In almost complete prostration of telegraph and telephone service in all directions. Meager reports from outside cities tell of uprooted trees, wrecked outbuildings and other damage. The storm was particularly severe through Nevada and Utah and In places across the des?rt the sand almost buried the railroad tracks for miles. Around the Great Salt lake a perfect sirrocco prevailed. The sand, lifted In great clouds by the hurricane, at imes almost obscured the sun and covered everything Inches deep. In Salt Lake City most damage was done to shade trees and outbuildings. In Salt Lake City the wind, at Its greatest velocity, reached thirty-four miles an hour, ami did no serious damage outsido oi" uprooting trees and wrecking a i"?w outbuildings. At Ogden the storm was more violent, plate-glass windows throughout the city being blown in and other dimage resulting. At midnight the elocivio light service failed, leaving that city In darkness. Early to-day the telegraph and telephone companies put forces to work straightening out their tangled wires and communication with tho outside world is assuming normal conditions. GKX. FUNSTO.VS (01.1,1X11 OAUKKU. Recollection of III Teacher lu KanSim University. James II. Canfield, In Review of Reviews. I remember young Funston distinctly, that September day. He wis below the average height, and slight in frame the very antipodes of his father, who is a perfect giant. He had light-brown hair not "red hair," as it has been so often described in the iress of late; a keen eye, which generally looked out between half closed lids; an erect stature, with a slight swing In his walk which at first gave the impression of a swagger, than which, however, nothing was more foreign to the man. He was entirely dependent upon his own resources there was some difference of understanding as to whether this was of his oV choice or whether his father had thought It best to refuse him aid (I think the commonly received notion was that his father had told him that u he thought a higher education worth getting he could go and get it) and one of the memoranda entered by two or three of us was to look him up "a job." He became one of tho university guides those who went with visitors through the - different museums and other "show places" of the university and I think remained a guide during his entire stay. He was with us two years, and won the confidence and esteem of all. Never noisy, never self-assertive, not particularly brilliant or studious, a little restless and uneasy as though the life of the great future was stirring vaguely within him sufficiently faithful, mature without losing any boyishness, exceedingly selfreliant, frank and honest, helpful in his relations with others, and a very companion-, able fellow; he made an Impression not coon to be effaced.

TO BE COURT-MARTIALED
ARREST OF THREE OFFICERS OF THE FORTY-THIRD IXFAXTIIY. Charged with Trading: in Permits to Ship Hemp from Closed Ports The Carman Cases. MANILA. May 23. Capt. Michael Spell man, Lieut. Delbert R. Jones and Surgeon Dudley T. Welch, of Company G, Fortythird Infantry, stationed at Massin, Southern Leyte, have been arrested on charge of trading In permits to ship hemp from the closed ports. They will be tried by courtmartial. It has not been determined whether Manila hemp buyers are directly implicated. The prosecution against D. M. Carman, Senor Carranza and others accused of trading with the insurgents, has been abandoned. The military authorities con sider that although the convictions of a number of Manila merchants would be practically certain were the investigations continued, their prosecution would be In expedient, as the consequent damages to business would outweigh the good accom plished. Provost General Davis, who has reviewed the testimony in the Carman case, said to the correspondent of the Associated Press that while Carman could be convicted of trading with the Insurgents, it would be unjust to punish him when neatly every trader in Manila is guilty of similar JiTüCtiCGS Unless Generals Callles and Malvar surrender quickly General MacArthur will concentrate a strong force of American troops and surround them. Callles is vainly hoping for a guarantee from the American authorities that be will not be tried for murders and atrocities he Is alleged to have committed. Malvar is boasting that he will be the last insurgent to surrender. The attempt of General Hughes to accomplish the surrender of the insurgent leader Lucban, on the Island of Samar, is without result. Pattery F, of the Fifth Artillery, formerly commanded by the late Capt. Henry J. Reilly, has arrived here from China. ARuinitldo May Come. NEW YORK. May 23. A special to the Tribune from Washington says: "Aguinaldo is likely to come to the United States next fall and spend the winter in Washington. This information reached the War Department in the mail from Manila. He has Informed General MacArthur of his desire to visit the United States for the purpose of studying American institutions and meeting American statesmen, with a view of being more useful to his own people In the future. No objection to granting this wish at the proper time has occurred to the authorities at Manila. For the present, however, and until after the civil administration of the Island Is firmly established it is not contemplated that Agulnaldo should be relieved from the restraint that is now regarded as a guarantee of his own safety. It appears that Aguinaldo has been influenced to visit Washington by Judge Arellano, whose loyalty to the United States Is unquestioned, and who believ?3 that a study of the economic and political conditions in this country by the former Insurgent leader will be extremely benertcial to the development of tho archipelago.' General Grant at Chicago. CHICAGO, May 25. Brigadier General Fred Grant arrived here from San Fran cisco. He was driven to the residence of Mrs. Totter Palmer, his sister-in-law, where lie will be a guest for a few days. Mrs Grant had preceded the general. They will attend their son's graduation from West Point June 7, and later will visit New York General Grant said the published inter views with him were correct in everything save that concerning his district, which had about 10 per cent, of the population of the Philippine islands, instead of the whole archlpelego.

Greenleaf, chief surgeon at Manila, has made a report to Surgeon General Sternberg concerning tho health conditions In the Philippines. The report is for the month ending with March, I'M, at which time the strength of the army there was 59.050 men, and the sickness was then 7 per cent. Colonel Greenleaf reports the general health of the command excellent. Colonel Greenleaf says the health conditions of Manila are better than for any corresponding period during the American occupation. Major Davis Not Implicated. WASHINGTON, May 23. The reports received at the War Department concerning the commissary affairs at Manila make It plain that Major Davis had no connection with, or cognizance of the irregularities which were developed. It Is stated that there has been no time when General MacArthur or the officers making the investigation desired the presence of Major Davis, as his record was clear. Claim for ?2IOO,000. WASHINGTON.

Detect I nar Sounds nt Sea. II. n. Lewis, in the World's Work. An instrument for detecting sounds at fea was invented by Dr. Joseph Schmitt. of the iMand of Antlcosti. They hear much of wrecks on Antlcosti. and the question of saving life at sea is a paramount one. Antkosti Is ice-bound five months out of the ear, and Dr. Schmitt, during one of these periods of enforced retirement from the world set about Inventing a sound indicator, building it with his own hands from such material as he could find on the Island. It consists primarily of a hood in which the operator stands listening for distant sounds, which are collected in a funnel fixed just above the hood. There is a diaphragm in the funnel and leading down therefrom, two rubber tubes which are adjusted to the ears of the listener. There is also a mariner's compass resting under the funnel to let the listener know which direction the funnel is pointing when It records a sound. Dr. Schmitt made his firt instrument from a dry-poods box which ae usd for a hood. a. pair of old stethoscope tubes and a piece of tin bent into the form of a funnel. Yet it worked successfully from the start. Sounds which coull not be detected by the unaided ear, or, if audible, were lost as to direction, were Instantly located by the director. Its valu on ships and in lighthouses is undeniable, as the throbbing of a vessel may be heard with it when it i? not possible to detect it with the ear unaided. Want Dnmuces trom 31 n ecu bees.

"Maybe I ain't glad to get out of there." Faid one of the twenty-eight young fellows caught by the police in a crap game In the rear of Charles Barnes's saloon, 227 West Maryland street, last night. For more than an hour the crowd, increased to thirty-three by the five officers, was held In a small room not more than ten by ten feet. Captain Dawson got wind that a game was In progress In the saloon. After nome time he found Sergeant Lowe, Tatrolmen Lawlor and Barmfuhrer and Bicycle Men Streit and Losh. They got to the place from tho rear and surprised the "lockout," who was prevented from giving the alarm. Two heavy locks on the door resisted the efforts to break in. A noise was heard to the side and rear. The fellows were climbing out windows and over a fence. It was so dark they could not be seen. Dawson said, "H'lst me over," and over he went, head first, among a lot of empty beer kegs, boxes and garbage cans. One of the officers followed, and they found eight fugitives piled almost one on top of the other In an outhouse. One young man was found crouching in a barrel. Three were found in a two by two "kitchen," where the free !unch is prepared. Barnes was slated as the keeper, and the others for visiting a gambling house. Sergeant Schroeder and Patrolmen Scott, Green, Tomlinson and Ormiston found a crap game In progress at Blackford street and Indiana avenue. Kight negroes, including Noah Jones, who was charged with running the game, were corralled before they became aware of their danger. Colored Woman Took Morphine. Lulu Trottman, a colored woman, living at 342 East Wabash street and employed at 107 North New Jersey street, took morphine about S o'clock last night, after a quarrel with a lover. Drs. Young and Devaney, of the City Dispensary, who attended the case, said she would no doubt recover. GroTrlnjr Rosea Successful!'. Ledger Monthly. Most people do not make the beds for roses sufliciently deep; that is, the soil is not loosened to a depth sufilcient to enable the roots to penetrate to tho depth they desire in order to obtain the food and moisture In the soil. In part, shallow planting accounts for the short season of bloom we notice with some roses, the plants not having vitality enough to sustain the blossoms except for a short period, nor to produce a second crop when the first Is gone. If the plot selected for the roses is soli that has been cultivated for two seasons or more It may be safely spaded to a depth of two feet (unless a layer of hard clay Is found at that depth. In which case the clay should be loosened, but not worked In with the top soil), and the fertilizer used worked in until it is thoroughly Incorporated with the soil. The soil cannot be made too rich that is, of course, within reason for the rose plant is a gross feeder and the richer the soil the stronger will be the growth of the plant, and the more profuse the blossoming. If the soil Is Inclined to be sandy It can te enriched more heavily than if nat urally heavy. Of the two natural soils that which Is inclined to be heavy, with considerable clay in it, perhaps, is best for roses, but it must be well broken up, made line and loosened to a considerable depth, as suggested. The best way to furnish the required drainage is to throw out the soil In the bed to the depth of three feet, snd fill In the hole a foot or eighteen inches with stones, broken bricks, old rubbish of anv kind, broken crockery, etc.. and then put oacK me sou removed, inis will supply ample drainage for any surplus water and still the drainage material will be so far below the roots of the plants that It will not araw ore any moisture needed by them. A "True" TJsh Story. The leaven of W. II. Boardman's charming nature book,. "Lovers of the Woods," observant woods guide. This Adirondack wiseacre tens the loiiowing story: "All fish are like some men that start right and go wrong. Billey Drew toll a a story and 1 know it's true. Last summer when he was fishln' In Long lake, the buckskin thong that was fastened cn his watch slipped olt his pants button and the watch dropped out of hl.s pocket into forty feet of water. In the fall I was out with him spearln pickerel, and when we come ashore 1 says. 'Billey. what makes that tickin' Bound?' and says he. I guess that's my watch.' And he opened a ten-pound pickerel and found it, keepln' time Just as natural as any watch. The thong was looped on the pickerel's Jaw, and was more or less v.ound on the stem-winder, and the motions of bltin and digestin' kep' the watch spring tight as a drum, for a pickerel never rests." "John," said Hardy, "is that all true?" "I am afraid It ain't all true." faid John. "You can't depend on Billy on the part .f the weights he gives for fish. I never thought his pickerel, without the watch, weighed more 'an about ciKht pounds, but the point Is true that all lish are hungry sometimes, not all times, and'll bite almo.it anything." Unreliable AVI re Anils. Evening Wisconsin. Pedestralns In Milwaukee on a windy day like yesterday are sometimes startled by a Phlngle Hying through the air, and now and then notice one lying on the sidewalk. Sometimes a high wind brlnps down from the roof of a house one of the long thin boards that bind the last course of shingles at the ridge-pole. The roofs from which these parts are ripped by the wind are not always old and rotten, though sometimes the shingU-s and hoards are found t be somewhat warped. Such thinKS did not happen In the good old times. The wire nails now in use are the cause of the trouble. Their smooth surface takes but a slight hold on the wood into which thev are driven, and they come out as easily as if imbedded In cheese instead of In wood. The old-fashioned wrought and cut nails, square Instead of round, nnd rough Instead of etooth, took a firm hold
