Stanford 10 Speak on His Land Loan
Bill Before Starting for Europe.


WASHINGTON, May 22.-Orders were sent
this afternoon from the Treasury Depart
ment to the commander OF the revenue cut
ter Rush at San Francisco directing him to
proceed to Alaskan waters. His instruc-
tions were similar to those sent to the COM
mander of the Bear yesterday.
Secretary Window stated this afternoon
that he knew of no proposition being re-
ceived from the British Government in re-
gard to the Behring Sea problem and that
therefore it could not have been rejected
after Cabinet discussion.
New YORK, May %. - A Washington
special has it that at Cabinet meeting
held on Tuesday it was decided to reject the
British proposition submitted three weeks
ago for settlement of the Behring Sea
question. 1t is understood that according
to present instructions to the Bear vessels
caught violating the law Will be diSmantled
and deprived of ell means of further viola
tion. Their logs and all skins also will be
seized.
OTTAWA, May 22.-Somewhat of panic
took possession of the heads of the Govern
ment here when information of the oharac-
ter of the instructions issued from Wash
ington to the captain of the revenue-cutter
Bear reached them. The talk is of war in
case the instructions are carried out. Amy
dismantling of n British vessel outside the
admitted three miles jurisdiction, or seizure
OF her log book or of sealskins will be re-
garded by our authorities and people as a
virtual act OF war against friendly power.

THE PRESBYTERIANS.
Conference Report on the Question Of
Revision Of Faith.

SARATOGA, May 22-The General Pres
byterian Assembly received the report from
the Committee on Amendments to the Con-
fession Of Faith and Constitution. The
committee reported in substance as follows
Amendments or alterations in the form Of
government. Book of Discipline and the
Directory for Worship may be proposed by
the General Assembly to the presbyteries,
but shall not be obligatory on the church
unless a majority Of all the presbyteries ap-
prove in writing. This overrules the prop-
ositlon made by the anti-revisionists that
The presbyteries alone could make overtures
unasked by the assembly. The Chairman
oil the committee explained the report. He
said 1t was compromise on both sides
Three different methods may be used If the
amendments were desired, where formerly
there was but one. Flrst-If two-thirds Of
the presbyteries approve Of the change the
General Assembly shall enact. Second-It
Is made obligatory on the assembly to SUBJ
mt to the presbyteries any overture sub
mltted to IL by oDe-third of the presbyteries.
Ihird-Nothing in the chapter proposed by
the committee shall be construed to affect
the right of two-thirds of the presbyteries
to propose amendments or alterations of
the Confession of Faith, or of the General
Assembly TO agree to and enact.

richmond, May 22.-The announcement
that Sullivan has agreed to come to Vir-
ginia and fight Joe McAuliffe in July and
jackson in August has attracted the atten-
tion Of the officials Of the State. If the
arrangement is made with Sullivan and the
other fighters it remains to be seen whether
they will be permitted to do so.
The unan imous sentiment of the au-
thOrities and people is against it. Some
of the best lawyers here claim fatal defect
in The act incorporating the Virginia Sport
Ing Association is its failure to cite the law
which it claims to have repealed. Under
the present la| prize-fighting is punishable
by Imprisonment for not less than five
years and a fine of $1,000. If Sullivan OF
any other prize fighters come here to fight
they are certain to be arrested as soon as
they put foot on Virginia soil.
New ORLEANS, May 22.-Bowen, the
New Orleans lightweight, whipped Billy
Myers, the Cyclone" in a twenty-seven
round fight near this city tonight. Fully
2000 spectators saw the fight, and the result
was a general surprise. Bowen so forced
the fight that the police twice interfered.
Myers was bleeding and weak, and in the
twenty-seventh round failed to come to the
scratch. The fight WAS on the lake shore
six miles from the city. It began at 10 40
and ended at l. 80 o'clock.
