SARATOGA, N. Y, May 24.-After the
reading of the minutes in the Presby-
terian general assembly today, Dr.
Thompson, of New York, moved that the
report of the committee on concensus Of
the creed be the first order after the
vote on revision. The motion prevailed
DR.. Frskine, chairman of the commit
tee on method of revision, read report
The committee recommends that COM
mittee, composed of one member of the
assembly from each synod, to wit: Nine
teen ministers and ten elders, be ap-
pointed by the moderator to nominate
to this assembly committee, consisting
of fifteen ministers and ten elders, which
shall be called the "Assembly's Com
mittee on Revision of the Confession of
Faith" which committee, when consti-
tuted by the general assembly, shall
consider the suggestions made by the
presbyteries, and formulate to the gem
eral assembly of 1891 such alterations
and amendments to the confession of
faith as in their judgment may be
deemed desirable, and that this COM
mittee shall not propose any alterations
or amendment that will in any way i'm
pair the integrity Of the reformed or
Calvinistic system of doctrine taught
in the confession of faith.
The report was adopted unanimously.
The moderator appointed the com
mittee, naming DR.. William G.
Roberts, OF Illinois, chairman. Their
report will probably be given Monday.
DR.. Roberts said the overtures of
twenty-six presbyteries were in favor
that the new concensus of the creed
should be referred to committee of
nine, who shall invite the cooper
alton of the reformed bodies in prepar-
ing a short, clear comprehensive state
ment of the points in which all the re-
formed churches are agreed; not as
substitute for, but supplemental to, the
Westminster confession. 1t must con-
tain the essentials of the reformed faith,
and be the basis of union and CO.
operation by all affiliated bodies, espe
.cially in their work in foreign lands.
The motion for a concensus Of the
creed, after much discussion, was passed
by large majority. The committee on
church unity presented q report. En-
phasis is laid upon federation as prin-
'ciple on which the evangelical christians
cannot cooperate.

A. G. Ferrer, a well-known Mexican
resident of this city and formerly colonel
OF the eleventh regiment cavalry, of
Durango, Mexico, has. taken offense at an
editorial which appeared in the Sun yes
terday in which the Mexican was re-
ferred to as one "who is invincible in
peace and invisible in war;" The Sun
is published by Walter G. Smith, who
was mentioned prominently in connec-
ton with the alleged filibustering
scheme to capture Lower California a
few days ago, and who, it was stated,
was to be encouragement OF the new
republic. Colonel Ferrer issued chal-
lenge today in which he offered to fight
Editor Smith with pistols, swords or
fists ii the latter would cross the border
on to Mexican soil. Colonel Ferrer said
he was willing to have seconds chosen at
once and let Smith name the day for the
fight. Smith is not in the city today,
and no reply has been received from
him,

Emperor William Toasts His Grand

Birthday.
Associated Press Dispatches. |

BERLIN, May 24.-[Copyrighted, 1890,
by the New York Associated Press The
negotiations with England concerning
territory in Africa, have been abruptly
suspended by the British ambassador,
under orders from Lord Salisbury,
and the ambassador intimates that they
will be resumed only on the basis of the
recognition by Germany of English
rights on the west coast of Lake Tan
ganyika and the territories north OF
Tanganyika, including Uganda. This
abrupt action, which the foreign office
attributes to public clamor in England,
has brought out an energetic protest
from Chancellor Caprivi, undoubtedly
inspired by the emperor. The North
German Gazette intimates that Germany
will uphold the continuance of the
English occupation OF Egypt if Germany
obtains hold in the districts of Central
Africa, claimed by England.
Emperor William is celebrating Queen
Victoria's birthday with unusual cere-
mony. The whole British embassy was
banqueted tonight at the royal castle.
The emperor toasted thequeen effusively.
The English flag was displayed on every
government building. 1t is not likely,
however, that this display will induce
Salisbury to concede the German de-
mands, even if Egypt should be thrown
in the balance. Caprivi will not modify
his demands, and the issue will be the
indefinite suspension of negotiations,
leaving both parties to proceed with the
game of territory grabbing, until the
complications arising therefrom become
more critical.
1t is believed now that the army bill
will be PASSED by the reichstag by a
large majority, despite the governments
admission that the present demand is
only an installment. The Freisinnige
Zeitung says the disclosures made to the
committee show that in the near future
the German peace effective will be 6l4,-
600, instead of 468, 900 men.
The socialist and freisinnige papers
team with stories about the emperor and
Bismarck. 1t is asserted that the en-
peror is highly incensed because of
Bismarck's statements to the correspon-
dents of foreign papers that he speaks
of the ex-chancellor as only fit for lun-
attic asylum, and that he intends to send
him final warning before dealing with
him as an enemy of the state. What
ever may be the emperor's irritation it
has not caused rupture with Bismarck.
The emperor has sent letter to Won
Moltke warmly congratulating him
upon his recent speech in the reichstag
in favor of the army bill.
Prince William of Sake Weimar, has
been declared bankrupt (his debts are
due to gambling) for "a 900 marks.

The Identity of the Body Fished From

SAN Francisco. May "a DR.. F. Won
Bulow, who says he was well acquainted
with ex-senator Charles Kent for fifteen
or twenty years, now says the body
found in the bay Wednesday was not
that of the latter. "While the
dead man looks great deal like Kent" :"
said he, "the deceased was not as tall as
Kent; he had not the same face ex-
preston, and his hair was different
What makes me particularly certain
that there is a mistake, is that when l
attended Kent once, noticed that he
had scar on the left temple, and no
such mark is found on the body taken
