cries quickly brought a crowd to the scene
and several policemen soon arrived and set

from the wires
A rope was thrown around Clausen's body,
but SO strong was the grip which held him 10
the wires that it could not be loosened.
While pulling on the rope Thomas Smith
/ touched the body and received a shock
which knocked him senseless He was taker

TIE WESTMINSTER CONFESSION.
Several Changes Recommended by this
New York Prenbytery.

80" FORK freNbytery-
New YoRR, Dec. TO- The New York
Presbyfery met and adopted the report Of
the committee on revision Of the West
minister confession. The report opposes amp
general revision or alteration OF the con-
fession, but recommends some changes, Wiz
First-ThAt She three chapters after tha
first section be 10 recast as to include thesa
things only. The sovereignty OF God in
election; the general love OF God for all
mankind; the salvation in Christ Jesus pro-
vided for all and to be preached In every
nation. Second-That the tenth chapter ba
so revised as TO appear - discriminate
concerning Infants dying In infancy or 80
as 70 omit all reference 10 them, and 50 ga
to preclude that explanation Of section four
which makes 1t teach the damnation Of all
heathens, or makes II deny that there are any
elect heathens who are reganerated and saved
by Christ through the spirit, and who en-
deavor % walk IN penitenee and hunilit y
according 70 the measure Of light which
God has been pleased to grant them
The report continues while there are
other points which the presbytery would ba
glad 70 see modified or changed las, con-
spicuously, chapter "a, verse 3, and chapter
p, verse 6-nevertheless we prefer to conflna
our suggestions for revision to the third and
tenth chapters as indicated
The report also recommends that tha
presbytery overture the general assembly TO
invite the corporation OF the Presbyterian
and Reformed churches Of America and
Great Britain to formulate a short ana
simple creed, couched so far as may be in
Scripture language, and containing all the
essential necessary articles OF the West
minister confession, which creed shall be
submitted for adoption as the common creed
Of the Presbyterian aud Reformed churches
OF the world, not as a substitute for the
confession, but to summarize and supplement-
u for the work Of the church.

WASHINGTON, Dec. 10. The Office OF the
sergeant-at-arms of the house was besieged
all day by notafies with notes given BY
members which had been allowed to 20 to
protest As the fee in each protest case is
about sl.50, the notarios did a thriving
business. Mr. Leedom, the ex-sergeant-at-
arms, has detectives at Montreal and Que
bee looking out for Cashier Silcott Mr.
Leedom does not believe the story from
Montreal that Silcott aud his mistress are
at a prominent hotel there. He thinks that
if the story is true his detective at Montreal
would have reported the fact.
Investigating the steal.
The investigating committee was ready
for work shortly after 10 O'Clock, with Mr.
Adams, Of Illinois, in the chair. Several
congressman were before the committee 10
suggest plans for the distribution OF the
money for salaries Of members still remain
ing in the sergeant-at-armsi office Mr..
Mills Of Texas, held that as the loss had oc-
Cured in November it should be borne by
all those members who had receipted for
their November pay. The remaining money,
he thought, should be distributed among
all the members who had receipted for the
months from March to November, and
whose money Silcott had taken.
Mr. Catchings, of Mississippi, held that
the sergeant-at-arms was the authorized dis
bursting officer of the house. and conse-
quently the individual members should not
be made 10 bear the losses. If the govern
ment would pay to members their salary for
November, which, he held, have never been
lawfully paid, the whole trouble would be
ended, because the theft was entirely out Of
the money for their salaries for that month.
A member of the comm' ttee admitted Mr..
Catchings views had impressed the com
mitee.
