REPORT WITHOUT CONCLUSIONS.

The report of the industrial COM
mission Oh matters connected with
interstate commerce appears to be in
conclusive. Apparently the consle s.
siOnal body leaves things exact
where it found them. Though il deals
with many subjects, including pool
ing, rate discrimination. combination,
taxation. labor organization. etc,
il is not prepared to submit 70
Congress specific recommendations
with regard 10 any one OF these topics
This. we are told. is due to the incom-
pleteness of the inquiry, but no in
quiry of the bewildering scope under
taken can ever be complete. Ii is
plain that the commission is confused
hy the conflict of testimony and opin-
ion.

Daily Proceedings Before That Body in
1T. Louis.
Greed revision came before the gen
eral assembly OF the Presbyterian
church at st. Louis Friday afternoon
with as little ado 4 if it were a matter
of little Importance whether the con-
stitution of the Presbyterian church
remains as it is, is amended. or is
shelved to make way for a new creed
The overtures from the twenty five
or thirty presbyterieS ask for varied
lines Of action. Some desire a revision
of the Westminster confession of faith
while others ask for a new creed
Others still would like 10 have the old
creed revised and a new doctrinal
statement added, which they are
pleased to term a working creed. but
it is understood that a majority of the
overtureS ask only that the question
of n revision or a new statement OF
the confession OF the church shall be
considered, leaving the assembly free
to determine what form of action it
shall take.
Thirteen special committees sub
mitted their reports Friday Several
were adopted and the rest placed on
the docket for consideration later in
the session. The Sunday question, like
the temperance question, seems to stir
all the blood there is in the assembly,
these two TOPICS which touch the fam
lily life of the nation most deeply,
seeming to cause more friction than
any others.
