RADICAL REVISION.
New York Presbytery Takes up Re-
port of the Committee
on Greed.
DR.. Briggs is on Hand and Secures
the Passage OF Two Amend
mentS.
One Deals With the Salvation
of Infants and the
Heather.

NEW YORK, Nov. 16.-The New York
Presbytery devoted today to the considera-
ton of TIE report of the committee on re-
vision, DR.. Briggs and his friends being
on hand. The professor succeeded in Sc
curing one or two important amendments
TO the report. In the course of the discus
ssion he offered a substitute which was
adopted as follows:
Infants dying in infancy and other
persons incapable of being called By the
ministry of the word are regenerated and
saved by Christ through the spirit which
worketh when and where and how he
pleaseth; also other persons who have
not been called by the ministry of the
word
Section was amended to read: Those
persons who are called by ministry of the
word and yet resist the Holy Spirit and
never truly come to Christ cannot be say
ed; neither is there any salvation in any
other way thar by Christ, the truth and
the spirit. Further consideration was
postponed for week.

U. aud National w. c. 7. U. Those de-
handing equal pay for equal work for wo-

work more than six days per week. The

ton asked the endorsement of a petition
to prohibit the sale of alcohol, opium and
other narcotics, and to raise the standard
of law everywhere to that of Christian

denies all of the charges and courts the

Mr.. Johannes travelled through France,

poverty and misery of great mass of the
population of European countries. He says:

that don't spend half its time and money
preparing for war. You are supposed to
keep your hat in your hand half

there to every one you meet who

The French Tariff Will Not Keep
ONT American Pork,

WASHINGTON, Nov. 16.-Secretary
Rusk does not share the views of NJ
Gruet, of the Bordeaux produc> ex-
change rega ding the gloomy outlook
for American pork exporters should
France fix the tariff at fifteen francs.
Sin the first place" he said, "a
twenty-fi five franc tariff would mot
keep our pork out of France. NJ.
Gruet says so and he is an able
man, but he is low tariff
man and to make a greater impression
exaggerates his views He hopes to
replace the % franc tariff with the 20
franc rate and am inclined to believe
he will succeed. The debate is set for
to-day. But should the % franc rate
be ADOPTED it merely increases the
limit of the selling scale, think The
chamber made it from - to 20 franc;
the Senate, take it, wants it from Is
to Is, but as the government can fix
the exact rate within the sliding scale
limits, and the government is in favor
of low rate, we are not likely to
suffer"
