PROPOSED ROAD ABANDONED.
1t Was to Run from vevay to Green's
burs-Other Possibilities.

Col. J. NJ. Gore. who is interested in some
railway enterprises in Indiana, was at the
Bates last night and states hat the plan
of building a steam railroad from Vevay
to Greensburg has been abandoned. AT the
request of some capitalists, among whom
was w. A. Bristor, of this city, Colonel
Gore went over the proposed route of the
road and carefully inspected it. He de-
cided 1t would not pay to build the line
on account of the great expense attached
TO building a grade out of the town of
Vevay. Colonel Gore estimates that the
grading for the first ten niles north of
Vevay would cost in the neighborhood Of
$3.50 600.
'"There is another plan on foot" said
Colonel Gore last night, but I can't tell
whether Ii will pan out or not. A few
days ago a meeting was held at Green's
burg TO discuss a proposed electric line
between Greensburg and Versailles, a dis
tance of about twenty-four miles. 1t has
been suggested that the townships between
the w towns vote subsidies In aid of the
scheme. 1t is proposed to hold an election
to decide the question of voting these subsi-
dies. and this may be done. 1t has been
suggested that subsidies a~ggregating from
$50, 600 to 500. 600 be voted"

MAY BE CHANGED
PRESBYTERIANS To VOTE ON FIVE
PROPOSITIONS TODAY.
All Propose Amendments or Revision,
and the One Adopted Will Be SUBJ
mitted to the General ~ssembly

WASHINGTON, Dec. 6.-The committee
of sixteen ministers and laymen of the
Presbyterian Church now In session here
for the purpose of agreeing on some recon-
mendation to be made to the next General
Assembly on the revision of the Confession
Of Faith, made material progress to-day.
Action was taken by a subcommittee Of
five, which provides for a vote tomorrow
by the full body on each of the five propo-
sitions contemplating some change or re-
vision in the confessional. One Of these,
IT. is expected, will be adopted, thus bring
ing the question before the General AS
sembly In May.
Five members Of the committee-Drs.
Samuel j. Niccols, of st. Louis; Henry
Van DYKE, of Princeton University;
Stephen w. Dana, of Philadelphia; Justice
Harlan, of the Supreme Court. and Z. w.
c.. Humphrey, of Louisville, ky.-sum-
mitted papers for consideration of the
committee which will form the basis of
action on the subject of revision.
These papers in general propose either an
actual revision Of the confession or the
adoption of an explanatory statement or
dCctrinal differences in the confession, or
the formulation of a brief popular state
ment of the essential doctrines OF the
confessional system. After mature con-
sideration by the full committee the papers
were referred to a subcommittee of five
consisting of Messrs. Van Dyke. Johnson,
McKibbin, Parsons and Humphrey. which,
after q prolonged meeting tonight decided
that the full committee shall vote to-mor-
row on the propositions In the order in
which the were submitted. The report of
the committee, said DR.. Roberts, the Sec
rotary, to the committee tonight probably
will secure a decision as to which method
of stating the doctrines of the church shall
be followed.
Each of the papers containing the propo-
sitions, IL is understood, covered the same
general grounds, differing mainly In detail
and in the manner in which the proposed
change or changes shall be made.

IN THE COMMONS.
Speeches by Sir Henry Campbell Ban
herman and Mr.. BaIfour.


LONDON, Dec. 6.-It was to a crowded
house that the speaker rose this afternoon
to submit the seasonal orders, the reading
OF which. as usual, was interrupted by
the motion of James Lowther to eliminate
the order prohibiting peers from interfer-
ing in elections. Mr.. Lowther especially
referred to Lord Rosebery as a delinquent
during the recent election. The motion
met its customary fate. 1t was buried
by a vote OF 26 to SIS.
After Mr.. B~alfour. the government lead
er, had given notice Of the intention OF
the government to absorb the whole time
or the session, the speaker read the Queens
speech, and the Hon. j. f. Gordon, in a
naval uniform, moved the address in reply.
In so doing he made a lengthy defense of
the war. J. +. Hope seconded the address,.
Sir Henry Campbell-Bannerma the Lib
erai leader, after illusions to the election.
said the remarkable thing about the war
was that the public knew so little about
1t. and harsh measures being taken against
the people of South Africa. such as farm
burning. He asked the government for In
formation as to the intention of these pro-
ceedings. Sir Henry Campbell Banner
man said he was slow to believe that driv-
ing a stubborn enemy TO despair was the
pest way TO make him surrender. 1t was
In a desire TO end the war. but IL was also
In a desire to lead to promises of rmo
ana ccntentment that he invited the gov
eminent to declare its policy. He inquired
why 1t should not be announced to the
Beers that if they laid down their arms
they would be allowed to return TO their
homes.
Mr.. Balfour dwelt on the difficulties of
the present position in South Africa. He
said the men they were fighting were TO
be their fellow-subjects, and all must be
done TO prevent enlightenment. The gov
eminent had announced over and over again
that IL looked forward to a condition when
the British and the Dutch would have
equal rights. 1t was the fault of the Boer
leaders that the war was prolonged. In
the meantime, the duty of the government
was to pursue vigorous military operations
with humanity, not only from Common
morality, but with a s~tatesfnanlike view of
the future.

Eczema is caused by an acid humor in

 usual hints about ''the folly of men, voting against their own interests" and that kind of rot, but that's not in- inhalation. and man who can't wink at that and then vote as he pleases is a- poor stick. But if is refreshing to know that as a rule men were not ln- terfercd with iu this respect in the shops as they have been in the past. Probably the most determined effort to talk men into voting the republican ticket ever resorted to in this town oc- cured when the democrats nominated Hancock. That time nearly all the head men, went to the help and told them in plain language that if the democrats got in wages would be re- duced and that there would be little or no work any way. Well, to make a long story short the democrats did not get in. and within a month or so after the election there was general cut down in all the shops. One man who lost half a dollar q day went to the boss and reminded him of his promise that wages would remain as usual in case there was no change. He never forgot the answer he received. Here it is: 'T was talking politics when I said that, but I'm doing busi- ness nOW.'

CHINESE SITUATION.
Alleged Insult to British Flag Not Seri-
 ously Considered.

OuSly Considered.
 BERLIN, Nov. 1O.-The German for eiEn office has been informed regarding the alleged insult offered by Russian troops at shan-haikwan to the British flag. It believes that, if there be any foundation for the report, the incident will probably be immediately adjusted by the higher officers.
 Nothing has been heard officially by the foreign office concerning the alleged an nexRtion by Russia of the left bank of the Pe-ho at Tien-tsin.- It is thought here that the report probably means that Russia is carrying out her intention pro claimed long ago of acquiring a settle ment iD Tien -tsin, where Great Britain, Germany and France already have set dement's.
 Cablegrsns from Dr. Mumm von Schvartzeastein, the German minister in China, are frequently received by the foreign office, but these contain, as 8 rule, only. what is not adapted, foreign r office officials assert, for premature pub ication, and Germany, like the other powers, maintains silence ss to the in formation received from her representa- tive.
 A statement WAS made in high mili- tary circles to the effect that Count von Waldersee's plan of campaign prtnci- pally contemplates forcing tho return of Emperor Kwang Su and the empress dowager to Picking by pushing expedi- tions nearer to them, cutting off their supplies and preventing large re-enforce- ments from reaching them.

BAR MEETING THIS MORNING.
Order of Judge Cowell Carried Out to
 the Letter To-Day.

The order issued by Judge Cowen in the district court last Saturday which jared the slats of every lawyer present bore good fruit to-day. That order, it will be recalled was that there should be complete silence while court was in session and especially during bar meetings Saturday morning. This morning the utmost silence prevailed, and the senior member of the firm of O'Neills thought up a few funny stories instead of telling them, and Constable Pryor sould feel his hair grow. Several motions were taken off the calendar. After awaiting many weeks Attorney Bronson agreed that his motion to strike out certain parts of Joseph T. Whittleseys complaint was argued. It may be said that it occupied the whole morning. The question involved was an alleged mis- take in drawing up a lease for MT WhittleSey whereby the latter's ten ant w. G. Austin, should have paid certain taxes. MT Bronson held he was not responsible for what Mir Whit tlesey thought should be in the lease; it was what he told him he had put in the document. MT Walsh, represent ing MT Whittlesey thought it very strange that a lessee should not be held responsible for the taxes of the property he had leased. The matter was discussed very minutely and de cision was reserved, the court remark ing that it reminded him of the suit for breach of promise in which the de- fendant. the man. admitted that he had promised to marry the plaintiff but as he had not specified the time he could not see how he had violated his promise.
 Mary Hanley, represented by Attor- ney LaWlor was granted judgment for foreclosure against Patrick Keough ct al The amount involved is $1,S4S.75. Law days. Keough January S. D. T.
