Revised Confession,

NEW YORK, Jan 19.-The Presbyterian
General Assembly's committee made
good progress to day i'm revising their
former revision of the Confession of
Faith. The doctrine Of infant damnatlon
was entirely eliminated by the adoption
of the following substitute for chapter 12.

all other persons who are not guilty OF ac-
tual transgression are included i'm the

Grated by Christ through the Spirit who

dition. Increased population and busi-
ness demand increased expenditures and
should furnish increased revenues. To
secure these the need of new system of
taxation is imperative. In this connec-
tion may recall what said in my mes
sage OF two years ago, that the laws of our
sister States secure to them large sums
from sources which are neglected in this
State; if similar laws were enacted here
the revenue would be increased with less
burden on our citizens.

SHE SAILS TODAY.
The Fortunes Cargo of Gun Cotton

NEWPORT, Jan. 19.-In spite of the pic
turesque stories printed last week it was
not until yesterday morning that the
work of loading the consignment of gun
cotton for the Pacific was begun. by 2:3O

Guiding two Patrick torpedoes, the latter

In BROOKLYN Navy Yard.

BROOKLYN, Jan. 19.-The orders to At
out the dispatch-boat Dolphin for service
without delay was a surprise at the Navy
Yard. She is now at Norfolk, but will be
put in commission this week, with Com
mander &. V. Gridley in command, aud
will probably come to New York TO re-
ceive additional armament and ammuni-
tion, and then go to Montevideo for duty
in Admiral Walkers squadron. The
sending of the Dolphin TO this squadron
needed there. but she will be at conve-
nient point TO send around to Chile. The
Newark has left Fortress Monroe, and is
going directly TO Port-au-Princ9. where
telegraphic orders may be sent TO her, if
needed. Orders have been issued for the
monitors Montauk and Passaic TO be
fitted out. Both of them are of the same
pattern as the Nantucket.

case will be argued before the Supreme

case will be argued before the Supreme
Court tomorrow.
Letters are expected to-day from Mon
tana which the defence claims will cor
roborate the statement of Mrs. Larimer
that bad feeling existed between Mrs.
Barnaby and the Worrells. The theory
which occupies the attention of Detective
Keith is that the bottle was sent to Den
yer long time before the actual delivery
Not finding the lady to whom it was ad-
dressed, the post Office people returned it
TO the address marked in the corner.
Then, it is held, the package was opened
and put up fresh, and forwarded again
with more explicit instructions. During
the process of packing, the note inclosed
was torn, and then trimmed Off clean with
a pair of SCISSORS. In doing so the name
of the sender was inadvertently cut off the
sheet
That the contents of the bottle had been
prepared several months before delivery
in Denver is conceded, but this will be as
cribed to delay in the mails beyond ordi-
nary experience. In support of this, Mr.
Keith cites two letters which he addressed
TO persons in st. Louis. The letters ulti-
mately reached the writer, one in fifty and
the other in seventy days after having
been dropped in the Denver office
If such hardness occurred with first
class matter il is contended that pack
age could easily be held back from the
owner for month or more.

DENVER, Jan. 10. The counsel and

the doctor
An affidavit has also been signed that
one OF the witnesses against Graves was
heard talking loudly in a saloon few
days ago, and startled his hearers with the
statement that he had sent the poison
himself. This reached the ears of the
detectives and started them on new
track. The man is said to be from the
East.

War Maps of Chile.

CHICAGO, Jan. 19.-What may be re-
garded as a significant incident was the
receipt at army headquarters here yester-
day OF large number of maps from the
War Department of the fortified ports of
Chile. The maps, which were taken from
surveys made in 1887. are said to show the
exact position of every fortified spot along
the Chilean coast
The largest of the maps is one showing
the city front of the city of Valparaiso
and the exact location of every fortified
spot in the CITY, There are four large
forts commanding the harbor and eight or
ten heavy batteries between the north and
south limits of the city.

A SON OF PROF. j. RI. MILLER IN JAZZ,
IN ALABAMA,

CHARGED WITH SHOOTING MAN--IT IS
SAID 1T WAS DONE IN SELF-DEEENSE.
Mr. G.. B. Miller, son of Professor j.
II. Miller, is in Jail IL Alabama for kill
ing man named Forester, at Riverside,
about one week ago.
Professor Miller has received a letter
from his sons attorneys stating that the
killing was justifable and that they
think they will soon have him set
free. The letter states that Mr. Miller
had recently been appointed superinten-
dent OF big lumber company and the
employees disIiked him lbocause he was
strict in having them discharge their
duties, which they Lad shirked unde r
the old superintendent. The difficulty,
the letter says, arose because Forester
had neglected his duties. The letter
closes by saying that Forester, who was
drinking, attacked Miller, who was
forced to shoot him in oelf-defense. The
workmen about the mill and the hood
lum element of the neighbolhood at
tempted to lynch Miller.
Mr.. Robert Miller, a brother of the
man in trouble, left Dawson on Saturday
for Alabama.
