A PLEA FOR THE CONFESSION.
DR.. Cunningham Argues for the Old Articles
and Revision is Defented.

DR.. Cunningham Argues for the Old Articles,
and Revision is Defented.
ESPECIAL TELEGRAM TO THE DIsPArcH.I
CLAYsvILLE, April l0.-The last session of
the Washington Presbytery was held to day.
Yesterday the revisionists, led by Rev. Dr.
Moffatt, President of the Washington and
Jefferson College. made vigorous attack upon
what they called the Objectionable manner of
expression of some points in the confession of
faith. To-day the anti-revisionists were led by
DIR. Cunningham. He maintained that
the articles on which revision was
asked wore the rugged and prominent
points of the confession of faith. and the funda-
mental principles of the Presbyterian Church,
to change which would be to destroy its
identity, and weaken the effectiveness of its
peculiar system. He ridiculed the idea of q
fsweet confession" that Rev. Mr.. Snowden
wanted. He said the demand for revision did
not come from the lay members of the church,
but from half dozen high churchmen of New
York, who sought to break away from the most
honored tenets of the church.
The Doctor made powerful argument for
the retention Of the ancient doctrines of the
church. 1t was as clear, compact, comprehen-
sive system of doctrine ever formulated. The
scholastic theology of the Western Pennsyl-
vania divines had been ridiculed. but 1t was the
rock of conservatism" that would always
keep the distinctive features of the church In
tact The vote was II for and AZ against re-
vision.

A CONFLICT OF AUTHORITY
Between City and STATE 0GcinIs Over the
Condemnation of Diseased Cattle.

Between City and state OmcinIs Over the
Condemnati tion of Diseased Cattle.
CHICAGO, april 10-The long-standing dis.
pute between the city authorities and the State
Board of Live Stock Commissioners in regard
to the disposition of the lump-iawed cattle
reached crisis this morning when h. C.McChes-
ney a member of the board, came into the
Mayors office and served a paper upon His
Honor, demanding police protection for the re-
moval of some 10 head of cattle, condemned by
the city health authorities as diseased, from
the pen in which they are quarantined in the
stockyards to Blue Island.
The Mayor sent for Health Commissioner
W1ckersham. who Immediately declared that the
attempt to remove the cattle from the yards
was simply scheme to evade the citv's health
ordinances in the interests of an unscrupulOus
ring, which is endeavoring to create a market
for lump-jawed cattle in this city. DR.. Wick
ersbam called upon the Mayor for sufficient
police force to enable officers 10 carry out the
city ordinance. and abate the nuisance by
slaughtering the cattle and having them rem
dered within one hour.
The Mayor then called in the corporation
counsel, and a secret conference on the ques-
ton involved was begun. The city officials
finally capitulated, it being the opinion of the
corporation counsel that it would be injudicious
of the city to interfere with the removal of the
cattle if the State officials should essay to
enforce it.

To the Editor of The Dispatch:
As read THE DISPATCH daily see consid-
cradle talk about locating the Carnegie Library
concluded to suggest that the city buy the
real estate bounded by Washington and Bed
ford avenue, and join it with the water basin.
/ think this would make an excellent location.
and as the main objection Mr.. Carnegie has to
the site is the burning of coal on the locomotives
no doubt the railroad company would abolish
it and beautify the grounds below it, Also
there is talk Of the center of the city moving
eastward or toward East Liberty. The main
business portion of the city will always be the
center and the terminal points of all the rail-
ways
If the library is located in the East End, will
we have branch in the city? II not, how
many of OUT working men will ever see 1t with
out they go out and have look at the outside
of the building on Sunday? How many work
ing people will move out TO East Liberty when
they can get as cheap. If not cheaper rents, in
the city, and how often will the people OF the
Southside and Mount Washington and other
districts see the library7 Then again, was the
donation made for the wealthy or the laboring
men? If for the former, put it in the East
End; if for the latter locate it in the city. The
rich are better able to come to the city than the
poor are to go to the East End.

CANADA'S TARIFF BILL.
Secretary BIaine's Iden cf Reciprocity Adj
mired by the Opposition.

OTTAWA, ONT, April IO.-The debate on the
clauses of the new tariff bill was adjourned
last night shortly after midnight without the
addition of the clause concerning increased
duty on live cattle. sheep and hogs The de-
bate was continued today, and there is no
doubt that the fight will be long and furious.
Mr. Freeman said he would prefer to take
Secretary of State Blaine's idea of reciprocity
which was that Canada could only get recipro-
city by accepting political union, rather than
the opinion of Senator Hit regarding recipro-
city. Mr.. Mcmillan, DIR. Lauderken, Messrs.
McMulen, Bechard. Wilson, Mulock and
Waldie ali spoke against the increase of duty
on the ground already stated by other opposi-
ton members.
Hon. Mr. Bowel. Minister of Customs. denied
that there was any spirit of retaliation in the
tariff C ranges. So far as the Canadian Gov
ernment was concerned, it had no intention to
reduce the tariff. AS to the course which the
United States was pursuing. they were prompt
ed TO it by such speeches as were delivered by
the Opposition members. No one had ever
heard Of a duty of cents on eggs until the
Commercial Unionists had made their bowling
tour through Canada. The object of the
Americans was to get Canada politically allied
TO the United States.

The battle in Pennsylvania politics has
begun in earnest, although the fighting is at
present hottest in Washington. Congressman
Dalzell is not backward in expressing his views
of Senator Quay, and he could hardly make
his denunciation of the astute statesman from
Beaver any stronger than his words in this issue
clearly convey. 1t is not news that therelis war
between Mr.. Quay and a certain section of
his own party, but it is somewhat of a relief
to have war solemrly declared and begun.

THE BUCKET SHOP WAR.
A Chica 60 Firm Posts the Quotations In Spite
ofthe Board of Trade.

of the Board of Trade.
CHICAGO, April l0-Some discussion was
caused in the Board of Trade circles to-day by
the fact that Schwartz & Dupee. aleading COM
mission firm, were posting the regular quota
tions on their office blackboard for public
inspection, contrary to the orders of the
directors. The messengers of the firm were
excluded from the board when the fact was
learned but members of the board who cannot
be excluded were found to supply the rebellious
firm with the quotations.
Schwartz & Dupee claim that their black
boards are for the exclusive use of bona fide
customers and that the bucket shops and the
general public are not allowed to benefit by the
posting the jealously guarded figures. Mr..
Dupee said to-day that the cutting of quota
tions was costing his firm $500 per day in COM
missions. In his opinion tile recent increase in
business on the board was not due to cutting
of the bucket shops, but to reports as to crop
damage, and he expressed the belief that if the
quotations had not been cut off the business
would have been twice as large,
