faith, which faith they have not in themselves;
it is the gift of God. Faith, thus receiving and
the instrument of Justification. Any teach
ing which in any way modifies or belittles the
essential act and exclusive necessity OF faith
in human salvation is mischievous dishonor-
ing to the word and sacrifice of Jesus Christ.
The assembly enioins upon all sessions and
presbyteries loyalty to defend and to protect
these fundamental doctrines of this confession
al church.
The majority report with the slight YER
bal changes made for the sake of clear
LESS at the end of the discussion recon-
mends that I'VE recommend that the
whole matter of the teachings of the book
of Rev. A. c. McG.ffert, DID, entitled
"A History of Christianity in the ApoS-
tClic Age be referred TO the PreSbytery
of New York, to which belongs the pri-
nary constitutional responsibility of such
disposition as in it's judgment the peace
of the churches and the purity of doc
trine may require"
The minority of eight set against the
report of the majority of twelve the fol-
lowing:
We recommend the adoption of the following
The General Assembly, while deploring the con-
troversy oecasioned by DR. McGifferts writings,
of which he is a member to appoint a COM
mittee to confer with him. and If it should
appear to the presbytery that DR.. McGiffert
fails to modify his views to conform them
to the standards of the churches. the presby-
DR.. McGiffert to withdraw peaceaby from the
Presbyterian ministry. But If he should refuse
to do SO, then the presbytery is directed as the
last resort to proceed with the in ac-
cordance with the provisions of the constitu-
tion of the churches. And in all these pro-
ceedings the presbytery is to maintain the
spirit of Christian kindness and love we'll as
fidelity to the truth.
During the discussion following the
reading of the reports many denounced
the writings of DR.. McGiffert, but argued
that he should be given an opportunity

shouted Elder Alexander Dixon of Scran-
ton, Pa. Then close up. Was there ever
a more beautifully worded letter than
that of this theologician, which says, af-
ter all, I do as l please, and you can do
the other thing?'"
The galleries and the assembly roared
with laughter. Finally the majority re-
port was adopted.

POSITIVE CREDENTIAL OF
CHRISTIAN PROGRESS

NEW YORK, May 25.-A cable to the
Journal from Paris says Archbishop
Ireland is taking great interest in the
Peace Conference. He has been pay
ing close attention to the sentiment of
the people on the subject in countries
where he has been travelling recently.
He gave the Journal to-day the follow
ing synopsis of the result of his obser-
vationS:
1 find that intelligent men of Italy,
France and Belgium everywhere are TAX
ing a deep thought as to how they can
contribute their quota toward advancing
ideas. like the oak, take time for devel-
opment. The disarmament idea has de-
veloped slowly. and has been aided by a
fortunate force of circumstances. The
unique conference now in session at The
Hague is a positive credential of Chris
tan progress. The broad problem is how
to save human life and tighten the bur-
not be needlessly sacrificed nor uselessly
international arbitration can be made
effective. At least to large ex-
tent war can be made humane
without either abhorring or stigmatiz
such conference as that at The Hague
sat in council chamber. The in
terests and to some extent the well being
OF humanity are intruSted to its members.
IF one conference cannot solve the whole
question at once the ideas that are now
peoples minds. There you have rich soil
where they will grow to maturity. The
United States is sure to be the first in
peace as well as in var.

MANY CHANGES BY
YALE CORPORATION
Most Important Is the Election of
Professor Harley as President
to Succeed Dwight.

NEW HAVEN, Conn, May 25-The
Yale corporation had its regular meeting
to-day and elected Professor Arthur Ew-
ing Harley, M. A, president of Yale Uni
versity, to succeed Timothy Dwight, re-
signed. There was almost a full member
ship of the corporation present, and it is
understood the vote was practically unan-
imous.
AT the morning session, before the bal
loting for president had begun, the resig-
nations of Secretary Franklin B. Dexter
and Treasurer William Farnum were an
nounced. Both gentlemen had determined
long ago that when President Dwight re-
signed they should also sever their con-
nection with the Yale University corpora
ton. This action was taken without re-
gard to the probable successor to Presi-
dent Dwight.
Professor Dexter has been for thirty
will continue his connection with Yale as
assistant librarian of the university.
Treasurer Farnam has for eleven years
served the university as treasurer.
The resignation of Louis S. de Forest
MD, clinical professor of Medicine, was
accepted, to take effect at commencement.
Professor Charles E. Beecher was ap-
pointed curator of the geological collec-
tons, in succession to the late Professor
Nathaniel G. Marsh.
George Zimmerman Yale, 1890, was ap-
pointed registrar of the scientific school,
and George F. Eaton was appointed in
structor in comparative osteology in the
same school, NJ Mabumoto, assistant in
the psychological laboratory, was reap
pointed, and K. F. Geiser, now a student
in the graduate school, was appointed an
assistant in history in the college,.

RED CROSS WORK DISCUSSED
ABSENCE OF MEDICAL MEN AT
THE PEACE CONFERENCE.
Many Matters Connected With the
Hospital Service Could Be Better
Understood by the Aid
of Surgeons.
Special Dispatch to The Call.

THE HAGUE, May 25.-Both sections
of the committee on the laws of war
fare of the Peace Conference met sep
arately to-day, and began the examina-
ton of subjects submitted to them, the
Red Gross section discussing para
graphs five and six of the circular of
Count Muravieff, Russian Minister of
Foreign Affairs, and the Brussels con-
ference section discussing paragraph
seven.
Both sections met subsequently and
discussed the question of competence
as regards the scheme for the revision
of the Geneva convention, known as
the Morgnier scheme. The Morgnier
scheme comprises notifications on the
Geneva convention in connection with
wounded and sick prisoners, members
of the hospital service, conveys for the
wounded, ambulances, hospitals, prop
erty belonging to neutralized persons,
religious and medical staffs and kind
red subjects. The scheme applies
equally to land and sea warfare.
1t was proposed to submit the
| scheme to another commission for dis
cussion and the question was then
raised whether the conference was
competent to deal with the matter.
Those who took a negative view ar
gued that the conference had decided
in principle and that all the govern
| ments represented had agreed that
nothing should be submitted to the
conference beyond the eight points in
the circular of Count Muravieff. They
contended that if the conference once
infringed this rule a precedent would
| be created leading to numerous diff
culties, including probably the spring
ing of the Armenian, Macedonian and
similar questions upon the conference.
1t was also pointed out by the oppo-
nents of the proposal TO refer that, in
asmuch as the Morgnier scheme dealt
mostly with the wounded and with hos
pitfalls, it would be impossible to discuss
the proposed notifications effectively
without the cooperation of doctors,
who alone would be capable of decid-
ing many of the points at issue.
AS a matter of fact there is no man
of medical training among the dele
gates The committee finally ad-
journed without reaching a decision.
There is no truth in the statement
that proposal has been submitted to
the conference to abrogate the provi-
sions of the Declaration of Paris. 1886.

HEAD OF THE VIRGIN
AND JEWELS FOUND
Arrest Of the Daring Robbers Of the
Shrine at Ell Cobre and Recov-
erY of the Booty

Special Cable to The Call and the New York
Herald. Copyrighted. 1899, by James Cor
don Bennett.
SANTIAGO, Cuba, May 25.-Catholics
of this place are holding general rejoic-
ings over the recovery of the head of
the Virgin of Ell Cobre and nearly all of
the missing jewels and gold ornaments.
To-day three perpetrators of the desc
Grafton of the shrine-one Mexican and
two Spaniards-were captured by Fran
cisco Guitterez, chief of the secret police.
Some of the jewels were found in San
tiago and the head of the Virgin was
found on a rubbish heap in Ell Cobre
The Archbishop and several priests ex-
missing. There will be special mass of
thanksgiving on Sunday in the cathedral
at Santiago and in the church at Ell
Cobre.
The local police made an unsuccessful
search for the valuables, trying to make
political scandal and accusing Guitterez,
of the robbery. They placed every pos
sible obstacle in the way of the search.
The Virgin will be returned to the shrine
on Saturday. A large number of people
are preparing to visit Ell Cobre on Sun
day.

HE TREATY BLOCKED
PESSIMISTIC VIEW OF TIMES
CORRESPONDENT.
Says Lord Salisbury Withdrew From
Negotiations Under Strong
Pressure Brought to Bear
From Ottawa.
Special Dispatch to The Call.

LONDON, May 26.-The New York
correspondent of the Times, which has
hitherto been optimistic regarding an
agreement between the American and
Canadian High Commissioners, claims
tc know that the situation has become
almost hopeless, owing to the insistence
of the Canadians that they receive
slice of Alaska. The correspondent de-
plores the Canadian position in upset
ting. the settlement, which was within
sight, and eXtols the conciliatory atti-
tude of President Mckinley and the
American officials. He relates in detail
how an arrangement was on the verge
of completion, when Lord Salisbury,
under, pressure from Canada, withdrew
his acquiescence. He declares that. the
present relations between Ottawa and
London, as understood in Washington,
threaten to affect disastrously the re-
Gently improved relations between the
United States and Great Britain. The
correspondent instances the Clayton
Bulwer treaty and says new treaty
perfectly satisfactory to both govern
ments has already been drawn, but
Great Britain now declines to act on
it, saying the Government cannot afford
to submit to Parliament any new
treaty question until the Canadian de-
mands anent Alaska are satisfied.
The Times, commenting on the fore
going dispatch says it hopes the cor
respondent takes an unduly gloomy
view of the situation. 1t declines to
exhaust its emotions, prematurely, over
| catastrophe which may never occur.
1t delicately banters its correspondent
on his dependency and declines to pro-
nounce a definite opinion on the Cana
dian American question without fuller
knowledge. 1t says, however:
What is quite obvious from the tone of
our correspondent communication is
that the Americans for whom he speaks
do not grasp the nature of our relations
with our sef-governing colonies. 1t is
as much out of place to talk of Canadian
opinion as power behind the British
Government, deterring it from acting as
its own Chief Minister and ambassador
| think reasonable, as it would be to use
similar language of the opinion of an
American State. Americans cannot ex-
pect us to do what they would never do
| themselves If they were in our position.
They cannot expect us to ignore the pop
ular will of that portion of the empire
which is primarily affected by the nego-
| tiationS or to settle a question between
London and Washington behind its back.
The Times reminds Americans that
in the dispute with Great Britain about
the frontier of Maine the local Legis-
lature protested against the award of
the umpire and the Senate rejected it,
though President Jackson would have
joined the British Government in ac-
cepting it. 1t asks: WAS this an un-
worthy submission by the Federal Gov
ernment to- local prejudice?"

DOMINICAN COMMENCEMENT

SAN RAFAEL, May 25.-The annual
commencement exercises of the Domin-
can College were held in the assembly
