THE great cOncensus of opinion
among the PresbyteriaDs on creed re-
vision is in favor of tie revision. It
is noteworthy thatan eastern presby-
terry in the conservative city of AL
bany, New York, with over sixty min
listers and nearly 10000 communicates
favOrs an entirely new creed. This
was the position taken by very
strong minority in the presbytery of
Chicago, but their views did not meet
with the approval Of the presbytery
as a body and were disavowed. This
is the inevitable result Of any creed
revision at all, and if c~eed revision
is attempted by the General Assembly
in its May meeting ii will open the
door for a new creed, the adoption Of
which is only question of time.

EMBARRASSED BANKS.
Two Great Financial Sensations in Phil
adelphia.


adelphia.
PHILADELPHIA, Pa, Nov. 29-The fail
ure of B. K. Jamison and Company
divided the attention of the street this
morning with the startling publication
of John A. Baker Jr.'s gigantic forgeries.
The general opinion seems to be that the
failure of Jamison and Company will be
worse than at first reported. The firm
is said to have been large borrower
lately, and several financial institutions
in this city are thought to have been
heavily hit. The liabilities of the firm
are variously estimated at $50, 900 to
$500, 900, but such estimates are the
merest guess work. Beyond the state
ment given last night, no information in
regard to Bakers enormous specula-
tions has been made public by the ab-
sconder's family. The general impress
sion is that Baker made good his escape
from the country, and will not be ap-
pretended.
The state treasurer has entered two
suits in the common pleas court, against
Jamison & Co., upon bonds to secure
the payment of $4,000 OF state money,
which the firm is said to have had in
their possession.
Country Bank Closed.
PIrTsBURG, Nov. ga dispatch from
Ebensburg, Pa, says johnson, Buck e.
Co., bankers, have closed their doors.
Assets and liabilities not known.
The failure is the result of that of
Jamison & Co., the banks correspon-
dents. A statement has not yet been
made public, but the firm expects to be
able to nav all depOSitOra in full 1 he
heaviest loser is the county treasurer,
who had deposit of $4,000 in the
bank.
A Private Bank Succumbs.
DULUTH, Mimi, Nov. 20. The private
bank OF Hall s. Co. closed its doors this
morning temporarily. In a run yester-
day, $50, 900 OF $4,000 of it's deposits
were drawn out. No runs were made
on the other banks. The bank expects
to pay in full.

CALIFORNIA IN CHICAGO.
An One Hundred-acre Tract for Exhibi
and Race Track Purposes.


CHICAGO, Nov. 29.-There is consider
able speculation in Worlds fair circles,
as to what national commission will
be on the committee of control which
will be the arbitrator of all important
questions connected with the exposition.
The following names are most frequently
mentioned: Martindale, Indiana; Lind
say, Kentucky; Sewell, New Jersey
Harrison, Virginia; Massey, Delaware
Waller, Connecticut; Buchanan. Iowa
DeYoung, California, and Goodell, Col
orado.
A party of California gentlemen have
leased from Way 1st, next, l00-acre
tract south of Jackson park. The lease
is made on 5 per cent. basis on $500
per acre valuation. The gentlemen will
use it partly for the purpose Of display
OF fruit products of California, and part
ly as an immense race track. The
orangemen of California are making ar
rangements to plant grove OF thirty
acres.

A Lost Steamer,

SAN FRANCISCO, Nov. 29.-The steamer
Strathearn is about given up as lost by
shipping men. She left Nagazaki for
this port September 18th, and should
have arrived here in thirty days at the
farthest. She has not been heard from
in seventy-two days. No incoming
steamers or ships plying along her in
tended course have sighted her. The
loss will fall heavily on the local insur-
ance companies, who held nearly all the
risks. The Strathearn's cargo consisted
of sugar consigned to this city, and
valued at hundreds of thousands OF
dollars. She was comparatively new
steamer, having been built in 1888 at
GLASGOW.

Commendable Progress Made with the
Dredgers.
SAN Francisco, Nov. ga letter was
received this morning by Captain Merry
from Captain George Davis, general
manager of the Nicaragua canal, detail
ing the facts concerning the progress OF
the work. The loss of the dredge Fer
dinand de Lesseps, previously reported,
is alluded to, and Captain Davis says it
was one of the oldest dredges of the
Slavin plant. There are still five dredges
from the old Panama canal plant, all Of
which are better than the dredge lost at
sea. There are also now at Greytown
two suction dredges, the property OF the
North American Dredge company, which
are adapted to work on the bar. Still
another dredge is being completed in
Scotland, which will prove powerful
adjunct. This can work on the bar in
rough weather, and is consequently
styled the Sea Bird. 1t is
expected that this dredging plant
will be sufficient to complete all the
work to which it is adapted on the east
ern side. Captain Davis also writes the
substance of the last report received
from Chief Engineer Menocal, from
Greytown. The City of Paris has been
set at work cutting furrow from the
inner harbor toward the inner bar. The
result of this will be the opening of
channel, permitting the entrance of
vessels of fourteen feet draught. Mr..
Menocal expected that within fortnight
from the time his letter left Greytown,
this first preliminary opening would
be completed. AS soon as
that was done, it was his
purpose to place one of the suction
iredges in the channel and use that
means OF deepening and widening the
channel which he expected to

New YoRK, Nov. 29.-Henry Willard
arrived at Hoboken this morning on the
steamer Aller from Bremen. He seemed
in excellent humor. There were assem-

Trusts in Constant Formation-Silver-
Lead smelters Uniting.
CHICAGO, Nov. 29.-Another effort is
to be made here Monday to organize the
lead-silver smelters of the United States
into a trust. A combination was at
tempted some time ago, but fell through
on account OF differences between mem
bers. Since that time, however, Presi-
dent Thompson of the National " hite
Lead trust, has been working hard to
reconcile the differences.
A Threshing Machine Trnst.
A local paper says the threshing ma
chine men of the country are forming
a trust. 1t is known that temporary
organization has been formed by repre-
sentative men in that business. and that
very soon articles Of incorporation will
be filed covering combine with capi-
tai stock of at least $40, 100000. A
secret meeting was held yesterday after
noon, at which the general features OF
the contemplated combine were dis
cussed.
Combined Harvesters.
1t is understood that a meeting will
be held here shortly to perfect the or
ganization of the American Harvester
company, recently organized in this
state. 1t is a combination OF all the
reaper and mower establishments in the
country, with capital of $4,000, 900,
making it one OF the greatest combina-
tions OF the country. 1t will employ
1900 men. The aggregate value of its
property is $70,0UO,0O0. Its promoters
say they propose to reduce the cost of
manufacture and price to the farmer.
They will also manufacture binding
twine extensively, and cell it at reduced
cost.

THAT CONSTITUTION.

There has been good deal of talk
about constitutions recently. Some
say that one would be promulgated,
restoring the old order of things
others that sweeping amendments to
that of 1887 would be made and
much else to the same effect. We
took the trouble to institute q search
with the result of discovering the
document which is published as SO
much news to-day. Its authorship
OF origin is not known. OF course it
does not eminate from any of the
Reform party and we can hardly be-
heve that an instrument so loaded
with absurdities can have its origin
with the intelligent side of the
National Reformers. Of course it
did not come from the Bush Wilcox
side as 1t does not restore the ancient
order and is not quite silly enough.

REPORT OF THE MINISTER OF THE
INTERIOR.
FIRST NOTICE. |

The object of the notices which
have from time to time been given
OF the departmental and other re-
ports mas been to inform the public
Of their contents. For some in
scrutable reason there seems to be
an aversion on the part of the vari-
Gus departments of Government to
print any but a very limited edition
Of the several reports. This is all
wrong. The Government belongs
10 the people. The reports are for
the information of the people and
Il Is not sufficient that number of
reports are printed and handed to
each member of the Legislature,
leaving a few copies to be retained
IN the departments or to be trans
mitted to a few agents. Such re-
ports as that of the Minister of the
Interior. the Boards of Health and
Education, Department of Finance
and some others, ought to be pub
Ished in editions of several humid
reds, perhaps thousands. Then
members of the Legislature should
receive anywhere from ten to fifty
copies apiece to be sent to their re-
spective districts and circulated or
placed where they will be most
likely to be read by large number
of people Then q large number of
reports should be sent to the vari-
Gus representatives of Hawaii in
foreign countries; also to some for
eign Libraries or places of public
reference, and sufficient should be
kept in the departments to prevent
3 loss of the records. On account
of the policy of economy or parsi
mony with regard to these publica-
tons, the public does not get hold
of the reports, and we have been
making pretty full notices.
The report of the Minister of the
Interior for the biennial period just
past, covers 349 pages in addition
TO a pretty complete index. 1t is
made up of the reports of various
bureaus under the Interior Office
which cover 276 pages, followed by
the general report and review of
the Minister which covers seventy
two pages. The subordinate re-
ports are those of the Surveyor
General; Superintendent of the In
sane Asylum; Chief Engineer of the
Fire Department; Fire Marshal;
Registrar of Conveyances; Super
intendent of the Water Works;
Clerk of Market; Road Supervisor;
Marshal upon Prisons, which in
