secretary of the Presbyterian general as
sembly committee on revision of the con-
fession of faith which held its second SEES
sion at Washington, Feb. 4-16, furnishes
the following report:
The same method was pursued as at the
session at Allegheny, so that the entire con-
fession was revised and attention given IN
the answers of Presbyteries on each chap
ter and section designated by them. The
work done and tentatively adopted at Allie
gheny was passed in review and confirmed
or changed as deemed best. The committees
thus revised chapters l to XVI. The re-
naming chapters were taken I'D at these
sessions and the changes tentatively made
were finally adopted as the mature iude-
ment OF the committee. The changes.

The general desire expressed by the
Presbyteries in their answers to overtures
"For the most explicit statement of the love
of God for the world" ''For the sufficiency
of the atonement and the free offer of sal
walton to all men," "For the recognition
of the church and the duty to evangelize
the world; - "For statement of individual
responsibility for salvation" "F'or fuller
statement respecting the person and work
OF the Holy Spirit" the committee sought
to meet by the preparation of two new
chapters: One, "Of the work of the HOLY
Spirit, to follow chapter VIII, of Christ,
the mediator The other: "Of the uni
versal offer of the Gospel,'' to follow chap
ter TX, ''Of free willing.''
The chapters meet most of the sugges.
tions in answers to Presbyteries'' and
make many of the changes asked for In
other chapters unnecessary. Its conclu-
slons were reached with harmony and it's

full meetings, carefully consider it, suggest
any change that they may deem desirable

secretary of the revision committee by the

The Prospectiye Ohio Elnod.

CINCINNATI, Feb 23.-The outlook for the
Ohio river food grows worse to-day. In
addition to the rise at Pittsburg this morn
ing's weather reports show there is almost
a certainty of additional rain in the Ohio
valley within twenty-four hours. Here
the river continues to rise about an inch an
hour. There seems no hope in the face of
the river falling rapidly at Wheeling and
at Parkersburg and also that the head
waters of the great Kanawaha are falling.
The effect of the flood here at this stage is
inconvenient, but not disastrous. The lower
portions of Newport and Covington are
submerged, but none of the large manufac-
turtles are lnterfered with. The water
works at Portsmouth are stopped by an
overflow, while Parkersburg has lost its gas
and water and is in danger of a coal famine.
The Ohio river, at s o'clock tonight is
Sc feet 21a inches and fuctuating. The
situation is not alarming at present. At
all points above here the river is stationary
or nearly so and the tributaries falling.

cannon shot OF port the vessel met her fate
on jagged rocks. Several tugs attempted
to succor US, but their tow lines either fell
short or were broken like threads. A life
boat was launched and thirteen of the crew
succeeded in getting in, but a high wind
and waves soon drove them out of sight.
Captain Colcord was badly injured and
died while the mate was attempting to
rescue him.

Lorne on the Canadian Crisis

LONDON, Feb. 23.-The first of series of
articles to be published in the Dailu Graphic
upon the Canadian crisis, written by the
Marquis of Lorne, appeared to-day. Among
other things the marquis said: 1.-THE an
nexahonist scare is a useful lesson in
bringing home to our minds the fact that
the colonies are practically independent ma
tons This is wholesome thing for the
public TO be reminded Of No comparison
is possible between the colonies and Ire
land"
The marquis ridicules the idea that Can
ada desires to barter her political independ-
ence ''for the government of the stars and
stripes"
. Whatever the result of the coming cleo
ton, the marquis says free trade in Canada
is impossible. All possible change will
mean is either few per cent. decrease in
the tariff or, if Canada joins a zollyerein
with the United States, an increase of the
tariff in conjunction with the United
States against Great Britain. In conclu-
sion, the marquis says: 'If the United
States want more. they and Canada must
be content to wait until the engulfng policy
of Mr.. Blaine has run its course like other
decisions. So long as Great Britain re-
mains true Canada will remain loval. -

EMPRESS FREDERICK
Her Visit to Paris is Having a
Conciliatory Effect.
Duets from Mazart and Wagner Sung in Ger
man are Enthusiastically Received-The
Imperial Visitor Haunted by Reporters.

PARIS, Feb. 23.-Empress Frederick. of
Germany, took lunch yesterday with
Baron de F'ucher, Bavarian charge d, af-
1a1res, where she met Whitelaw Reid.
United States minister, and Lytton, Brit
lsh ambassador. Reporters still haunt the
Imperial visitor as she travels about this
city. The result is. Empress Frederick
has resorted to various expedients in her
attempt to shake off the newspaper men
lowering about the embassy. Frequently
the Empress and her daughter, Princess
Margaret, drive in different directions in
order to create diversion and bewilder the
journalistic forces, but the latter manage to
keep pretty closely on the trail of the En-
press in spite of her efforts to keep awav
from them. Yesterday evening there was
rumor circulated to the effect that the two
ladies' would be present at the Lamarnex
concert. Consequently;ag great crowd col
iected in and about the-icinity Of the con-
cert hall, but the Empress and her daugb-
ter did not appear. Two Germans sang
Mozart and Wagner duets in German. a
hazardous proceeding before the French
public. The audience, after hesitating a
few moments as if undecided whether to
hiss or applaud, suddenly burst out into
vociferous applause. There can be no
doubt that the Empress visit to Paris ia
productive here of much better feeling
towards Germany.

Worlds Fair Uatters.

CHICAGO, Feb. 90. - Order is rapidly
being developed out of chaos in World, g
fair matters, and what heretofore ap-
peared confusion has now assumed definite
form and purpose. The managers of the
affair have observed such discreet secrecy
that the abandonment of Lake Front site

months, it would appear, has the placing of
any buildings on Lake Front park site been
contemplated. The instructions given the
