UNIVERSALIST CREED.
Boston Substitute Accepted by the
General Convention

General Convention.
CHICAGO, Oct. 21-The substitute
creed, introduced yesterday, drawn up
by the Ministers alliance, of Boston,
was adopted by the Universalist gen.
eral convention today by an over
whelming majority. If the action Of
the present body is ratified by the
convention of 1899, acceptance of the
Winchester creed will no longer be a
condition of fellowship in the church
and the old declaration of principles
will remain in the constitution of the
convention, merely as a profession of
faith. The new conditions of fellow
ship are intended ito be propositions
upon which all Universalists can
agree, and. as such, receive the in
dorsement Of the present convention.
The new conditions of fellowship re-
quire the acceptance of the following
essentials.
First, the universal fatherhood of God.
g. The spiritual authority and leadership
of His son. Jesus Christ.
g. The trustworthiness of the Bible as
containing a revelation from Cod
A. The certainty Of just retribution for
sin.
8. The final harmony of all souls with God.

on the fight with enthusiastic energy to the
hour OF death. but the Grand Duke had
neither tho enthusiasm nor the energy to con
tinuc IT. There was n truce which has not been
broken. The Grand Duke. though only 80 years
old when he took the reins OF power. seemed al.

Col. Michael ]. Dady Of Brooklyn arrived yes

captured $l5.OO0.00O contract. The steam.
ship Saratoga OF the Ward line was met at
Quarantine by the tug Commander. which had
been chartered by some OF Col. Dady S friends.
The tug accompanied the steamship up the bay
and Col Dady received an effusivo greeting at
the dock He was hurried over to Brooklyn,
whore his presence had II distinctly cnlivening
effect around the City Hall.
( "ol Dady WAS discrcotly reticcnt in regard to
his reported big deal with the Spanish authori-
ties, and declined for tho present to go into do
tails. He admitted that the contract still re-
quired the approval OF Gen. Weylcr, but he cvi-
IDENTIFY regards that as mere formulity that will
be forthcoming shortly The contract provides
for the repaying and resewering OF Havana, and
Col. Dady estimates that the work will keep
5000 men busy for five years AT least.
When asked as TO tho security for tho payment
OF the bonds Col. Dady remarked: The money
is all right: The Spanish Government will be
responsible"
Col Dady was not at home more than an hour
before delugc of applications for soft bcrths ut
Havana in connection with his contract poured

plicants that he could not be ready to distribute
any patronage for some time TO come. lie did
not say what would happen to his contract IL the

Nothing but Union with Greece.


CANEA, April l2-Tho russian Consul at
Rotimo has had another interview with the
insurgont chiefs in that district to whom
he set forth the benefits that would nc
crue to them under the scheme OF
autonomy proposed by the powers. His arRu.
ments were OF no avail. however, for the chiefs
again cmphatically refused to accept autonomy
and repeated that nothing but annexation to
Greece would satisfy them.
The insurgcnt chiefs at Akrotiri, the soenc OF
the recent attack by Bashi Bazouks upon tho
Christians, declare that IL tho European or
Turkish troops advance beyond tho positions
occupied by them at present the insurgents will
resist them to the utmost.
Tho position Of tho Turkish troops in tho
blockhouses outside Of Kissamo, whcrc
strong force OF insurgents is attempting
to capture tho town, became so menacing
that II was decided to-day to abandon the po-
sitions and concentrate In the fort Mt kissamo.
The blockhouses were therefore evacuated. The
soldiers destroyed the structures before they re-
tired to the fort In order that they might not bo
used by the Christians.

Liberals in tho Commons Condemn the Gov
ernmcnt Policy.
LONDON, April 12.-In tho House Of Commons
to-day Mr.. A. J. Balfour moved that the House
adjourn at the close of the sitting this evening
for the Easter recess.
Sir Charles Dixie denounced the Government
for not giving the House facilities for debating
the motion made by Sir William Harcourt on
April 8, which, Sir Charles said, was motion
demanding vote of want of confidence In the
Government and not vote of censurc.
Sir Charles Dixie added that the Government
was a slave to the concert of tho powers. which
had failed to coerce Turkey In connection with
tho outrugcs in Armenia. and would have been
similarly imbccie and helpless in the Crctan
crisis II 1t had not been for the fact that Greece
had forced their hands.
Mr. Curzon expressed his belief that the re-
tirement of the Crock troops from Crete would
lead to an immediate and peaceful settlement OF
the Cretan matter. He further believed, he
said. that the pacific reign OF the foreign Ad1ni-
rails in Crete was beginning to be understood by
the people of that island.
Nj. Curzon said that no Greek regulars had
taken part in it. Furthermore. the Greek Coy.
ernment had disayowed all responsibility for the
invasion, and the Porte was not anxious to make
it sSd tSs ho had
never e expIained % % the position ton they Claimed to
hold in Crete. All they had done was 10 back
the wrong horse and lombard the wrong people.
They would have peace to- morrow, he declared,
II they would allow the annexation of Crete to
Greece and that being the case, why should the
tonony OF Crete, he added. each power had its
own idea.
MIR Baifour defended the action of the powers,
the Turkish troops from Crete. This would
have been done long ago. he declared. but for
the difficulty which the Greeks and insurgents
in the island had brought about.
After some further but unimportant debate
the House agreed to Mr.. Bafours motion and
then adiuurncd.
