The party now repaired to Knox Col
lege, where the corner stone of the
alumni hall was to be laid by the Presi-
the President, who spoke briefly.
Following this the corner stone was
placed in position, and the President,
with mortar, carefully closed it, and
covered the seams with mortar. Great
applause greeted this performance,
which brought the ceremonies TO an
end. The party now repaired TO the
hotel for dinner, and at 3 o'clock the
reunion of the First brigade, the Pres
ident'S old command, was held at the
Opera House. President Harrison was
escorted from the hotel to the scene
of the reunion by committee,
headed by General Daniel Dustin, L. 5.
Sub b-TreaSurer of Chicago. The APP
pearance of President Harrison on
the stage was the occasion for
an outburst of cheers from the assem-
bled veterans. After the applause had
somewhat subsidized, President Harrison
addressed the veterans of his old brig
ade. After the conclusion of his re-
marks, the President announced his de-
sire to shake each member of his former
command by the hand. After the ad-
jOurnment the veterans mounted the
stage one by one and grasped the PreSi-
dents hand. The President was now
driven to the hotel, where he retired to
private room until 6p. IN. This even
ing the President attended a banquet.
Burlington was reached at 10 o'clock,
where an enthusiastic representation
received the President.

THE REvIsIONIsTs
Hard at Work on the Confession at Pitts.


PlTTsBURG, october s.-Thc Presby-
terian revisionists are actively at work.
They went into session at $3.50 and took
a recess at 1890.
The proceedings Of the morning went
off smoothly, and the committeeman
consider they have made progress.
The whole committee took up the
first. second and third chapters of the
Westminster Confession Of Faith and
discussed them in, as DR.. Moore. the
secretary said, IAN informal and con
verSational manner" No conclusion
was reached, nor will any be-
until all the chapters have
been gone over In this manner.
The chapter will be ta&on mp in order
and discussed until the sense Of the
committee becomes somewhat fixed.
Then the real work Of revision will be
gin. DR.. Moore said: What We said
in our discussion would be- OF no inter
est, and, to quote the old saying, would
fill more books than all the Johns
DIR. Moore was shown a morning
newspaper that purportcd to give the
individual views Of the committeeman
on the question OF revision. He smiled
as he read that he was opposed to re-
visng the Westminster Confession Of
Faith.
"Well," he said, 1--WE are all revision
lists. That is the reason We were APP
pointed on this committee. But We are
not all radicals on this point. The near
est approach to an anti-rcysionist on
the committee is DR.. Patton. We are
here to tear things up and moderately
revise the Wcs minister Confession Of
Faith.
A section that the paper declared was
of no great importance is section OF
CHAPTER 10 Of the Conference. II reads:
"Ail those whom God hath predes-
tinated into life. and those only, He
will cal by His Word and Spirit
out Of that state Of sin and
death in which they are all by nature to
grace and salvation of Jesus Christ.
THAT seems to me a most comfort
able doctrine" commented DR.. Moore.
The other members Of the committee
preferred not to say anything about the
work of the session.

UNCERTAIN WAR.
Conflicting Reports of the Situation in
Central America.

CITY OF MEXICo, October S.-A dis
patch from President Ezeta, by Minis
ter Pou, yesterday, contains nothing
about the reported battle on The
frontier, but says that he is pushing
the question of exchange of prisoners
There are many rumOrs of fight
but no substantial telegram from either
San Salvador or Guatemala.
Bengocchea, the son-in-law of Gen
Barrundia, believes there has been trou-
BILE. He says that nearly all the prison
erS captured by the Guatcmalans were
shot at once. Pou still maintains that
if there has been any trouble it has
been between civilians aud not the
armies. Bengocchea says there are
only about 1000 soldiers on the frontier,
and that it would take 10 days to have
large armies confronting each other.
Col. Cruz Alvarez. who arrived here
Yesterday from san Salvador, does not
believe any fight has occurred, rs Presi-
dent BarrillaS has had all the war he
wants. The Guatcmalan telegraph
lines are controllld by the government,
ahd it is not possible to obtain news
from the capital except in cipher.

INDIAN CONFERENCE.
A Talk the Red Skins as to Their
Progress.

Progress.
LAKE MoHoNK, \. V, October s.
The eighth annual Indian Conference at
Lake Mohonk was begun this morning.
President Merrill L. Gates, of Amherst
College, was chosen chairman.
President Gates, after speaking of the
encouraging progress of the last few
years. called upon Gen. T.. WhittleSy. of
Washington. who for the past eight
years has been Secretary of the Board
of Indian Commissioners. General
Whittlesy gave general survey OF
the field, and referred especially
to the happy change in public
sentiment in the last few days, due en-
tirely to the influences emanatng from
MOhonk. 1t is now very rare, he said,
to find an intelligent person expressing
doubt of the possibility or practicable
" OF civilizing the Indian, while eigh-
teen years ago the popular idea was the
brutal one-that the Indian was doomed,
and the sooner it happened the
better. The reformed public SEN
timent has reached Congress,
and resulted in legislation by
which the mode of civilization has been
wonderfully advanced. The settled
policy is now to make the Indian part
of our civilization. One of the most en-
couraging signs is the method of appro-
priationS for educational purposes.
General Whittlesy spoke with words of
high praise of the management of the
Indian Bureau and said the outlook
was never more hopeful than now.
Rev. c. w. Freel, of Hampton, who
has for several years been inspecting re-
turned students on the reservation said
that Of 10 from Hampton only had
turned out failures, a percentage not
larger than may be found in many east
ern schools for white children.
EX-PreSident McCoSh, of Trinity.
read an able paper TO demonstrate the
capacity of the Indian for civilization.
The worst of the red men he said are
not in a less favorable condition for
civilization than were our ancestors,
tho Britons, described by Caesar and
Tacitus. with their painted bodies,
druid rites, human sacrifices and 50
forth. 1t was Christianity that wrought
the change. and it would do the same

MASS MEETING OF STRIKERS.
Miners i'm Michigan to submit IA PROPOSE
tion to Employers.

ISHPEMING, MICH., October s.-A
mass meeting of striking miners was
held yesterday morning, 1000 workmen
being present. \ committee was chosen
TO transact business The committee
will submit a proposition for compro-
mise to the mining company'S agent to-
day. The men are good natured and
orderly, but have compelled every man
to leave the underground workings OF
the mines. No attempt has yet been
made to interfere with the pumps or
engine houses, and the surface men
have been working as usual, but unless
the miners resume work soon. many OF
the surface men will have nothing to do,
and if the strike is protracted the sur
face men will be induced to strike also.
The miners are saying nothing and
waiting developments. Some of the
hematitc mines cannot lay long idle
without great loss, but the hard ore
mines can shut down indefinitely. The
Winthrop & Fitch mine employees Joined
the strikers yesterday. A cOmmunica-
tion from the Negaunec miner says they
will strike too, tomorrow. Sheriff
Adams has been here for the past two
days but there has been no disturbance
50 far. There is hope of a settlement
tomorrow, but if one is not reached
speedily, the prospect Of the men win
ming is small

his hearers, while the name of George
