M'KINLEY AND N
Their Letters to the Nebraska Repub-
Ifcan Club of Washington.

WASHINGTON, Dec. S.-The Nebraska
Republican Club celebrated the victory in
that State last night. Many ~well-known
Republicans were present. while letters of
regret were read from President Mckinley.
Governor Roosevelt, &Senator Fairbanks.
William w. Keyser, judge of the District
Court of Nebraska; Assistant Secretary
Meikeljohn, Speaker Henderson. Secretary
of Agriculture Wilson. Senator Frye and
former Senator Charles Il. Henderson.
Those who spoke included Senators Hanna
and Thurston, Representatives Grosyenor,
Littlefeld, Mercer and Burkett, Governor
Richards of Wyoming, Assistant Secretary
of the Interior Brigham and COMMISSIONS
of the General Land Office Herman.
In his letter of regret President Mckinley
asked that his cordial greeting and good
wishes be conveyed to the members of the
association and his appreciation ''of the
loyal and hearty support they have given TO
the cause for which we commended on the
9th Of November"
Senator Hanna said: For five years I
had stood before the American public, viii
fed, slandered and cartooned until my very
manhood revolted, and if the labor I was
performing in the interest of my party and
the country entitled me to the smallest con-
sideration i was entitled to stand before
the people everywhere n give the lie TO
those SANDERS"

PRINCETON, n. J., Dec. S.-The Rev.
DIR. Henry Van Dyke, member of the COM
mittee on revision of the Presbyterian
creed, made a statement to-day in which
he said the revision must surely come. DR..
Van Dyke said:
The idea that there was any misunder-
standing of the committee at Washington
is an absolute mistake. The committee
was appointed, first of all, to get light
from the church at large or the subject of
the Presbyterian doctrine of standard and
TO suggest a mode by which such amend
ment could be adopted. The committee
found it evident, beyond the shadow Of a
the church was in favor of such an amend
ment. They were united also in their judg-
ment that the church did not desire to sup
plant or set aside the Westminster Confess
sion, but only to modify in some way some
of it's statements, and possibly to do this
by the addition of a briefer statement con-
tanning those doctrines which are essential
and vital TO our system of faith. The COM
mittee never imagined that work so impor-
tant could be done in three days, or a week
or a month. Its first task was to find the
best line along which to move in meeting
the desire of the church for amendment,
for submission TO the Assembly and to the
churches. This Is a work of immense i'm
%portance and cannot be done we'll unless it
can be done slowly. The committee needs
time and proposes TO take IL. All it's meet
ings thus far have been characterized by a
spirit of harmony and fraternal confidence.
There is no possible danger that l can see
of a split in the Presbyterian Church. Even
if the work of revision should be DELAYED
for months or years, ii is sure to come be-
cause the church demands it."

BAN ON COLLEGE SOCIETIES.
Yale University Facult Attempting to
Eradicate Evils.

NEW HAVEN, Conn, Dec. S.-The fol-
by the Yale faculty are published to-day:
Whereas, 1t appears that the changes
suggested in the sophomore society system
are inadequate to do away with the evils
which have existed III the college. and,
Whereas, More radical alterations have
been represented by the conferees of the
societies to be impracticable;
Resolved, That in the opinion OF the
faculty the exigencieS of the case make
the termination OF the existence of the
present organizations inevitable.
Resolved, That prompt action or the
part OF the societies themselves looking
toward such termination viii best pave the
way for a reorganization OF the whole So
ciety system in the interests OF the COL
lege."
President Hadley made the following
statement in connection with the resoIu-
ton.
"First-The feeling against sophomore So
c~ieties, whose special intensity was repre-
sented as something peculiar to the class
OF 1870. proves to be no less strong in the
1901 class. This makes impossible the ac-
ceptance by the college public of a plan

WINTER SESSION OF REIcnsrAG.
Consul General Mason Says 1t Prom
fscs 70 Re Important.

Uses to Re important.
WASHINGTON, Dec. S.-The winter ses-
sion of the German Reichstag. recently In
augurated, marks the beginning Of what
perhaps will be the most important legis-
lative campaign since the beginning of
the empire, according TO Consul General
Mason, at Berlin, in a report to the State
Department. Besides the discussion OF
Germany's policy in respect TO China he
says it also is expected that there will be
introduced during the year not only a new
schedule OF import duties. but the issue
as to whether the several commercial trea-
ties with other nations which expire by
limitation in 1903 shall be r~e-enacted with
notifications or abandoned at the demand
of the extreme protectionists, or Agrarian
party. This latter controversy, says. the
consul general, Is one which reaches down
TO the foundations OF German progress
and prosperity and has divided public opin-
ion into two opposing camps, which have
entered into the battle with extraordinary
spirit and determination That German
manufacturing industries and
have been powerfully favored by the In
fuence OF the treaties, continues Mr..
Mason, no one ventures to dispute, but the
Agrarians complain that the benefits or
the liberal policy are wholly TO the advan-
tage of the industrial and mercantile
classes, leaving the farmers stranded in q
hopeless struggle against increasing COM
petition of food products from countries
favored with cheaper and more fertile
lands.
On the other hand, the party favorable
TO a continuance of the treaties holds that
in view Of the present enormous develop
ment of German manufactures. the increas-
ing difficulty in finding markets for Ger
man products in the face of powerful COM
petition of certain foreign countries taken
in connection with the small part of the
industries Of the empire which the farm
ing interest constitutes it would not be
wise or safe to change Germany's fiscal
policy and by abolishing the treaties and
increasing the duties on food materials in
cur the danger of reprtsals and tariff wars
in which the empire would be at a fatal
disadvantage. A number of signal victories
recently won by American firms in the
competition for various big contracts in
Germany, says the consul general. notably
the capture Of a contract for 5000 tons of
steel rails for a local road in Friesland,
where the Krupp works hitherto had en-
joyed a practical monopoly, have en-
phasized the potency of cheap and rapid
production in the United States n
strengthened the spirit of resistance to
any policy which may, by increasing the
cost of food, weaken the power of Germany
to meet the new and powerful competition
beyond the sea.

CREED WILL BE REVISED
STATEMENT BY THE PRESBYTERIAN
ASSEMBLY COMMITTEE.
Changes in the Confession of Faith to
BE Recommcnded-Vieyvs Of Rev.
DIR. Henry Van Dyke.

WASHINGTON Dec. A ( two hours
elaboration to-day the Presbyterian COM
mittee concluded its discussion of the re-
vision of the Westminster Confession of
Faith and adjourned. The committee finds.
on examination of the returns from the
presbyteries, the following facts.
First-That the returns plainly indicate
that the church desires some changes in it's
credal statement.
Second-The returns indicate plainly that
no change is desired which would in any
way impair the integrity Of the system OF
doctrine contained in the Confession of
Faith.
Third-The returns also indicate that a
large plurality desire that changes should
be made by some new statement of present
doctrines.
Fourth-The returns also indicate & de-
sire on the part of many presbyteries for
some revision Of the present confession.
Fifth-It was. therefore. unanimously
agreed by the committee to recommend to
the General Assembly that some revision
or change be made in our confessional
statements. Substantial, but not final,
agreement was reached as to the method
of preparing changes embodying both re-
vision and supplemental statement, but the
determining of the whole matter was de-
ferred to a subsequent meeting.
The committee will convene in this city
on Feb. Il next to finally prepare its state
ment to the General Assembly in May.
