Supreme Court Decision Favors the Ex-
press Companies.
Washington, April 1.-THE supreme
court has decided the cases involving
the stamp tax as it applies to express
packages, the question involved being
whether the shipper or i the carrier
shall pay the stamp charges on pack
ages. The opinion was handed down
by Justice White and was favorable
to the express companies. There
were two cases before the court involv-
ing the question at issue, but the
opinion was based upon the case Of
the American Express company VS..
Attorney General Maynard of the state
OF Michigan. The case came to the
supreme court from the decision Of
the state supreme court of Michigan,
which decision was adverse to the
claims of the express companies.
The opinion just rendered reversed
this opinion.

Thinks Worst of War Over.
Frederick VillierS, the veteran war
correspondent who arrived at South
amptOn from the front, said he be-
ieved the worst of the war was over,
but that guerrilla warfare would con-
tinue for some time. An official bull
letin issued at Pretoria April 13 reports
that the burgherS captured 500 slaugh-
tered oxen at Wepener and that Gen
eral JerOneman that Gay defeated the
British, causing them to fly in the di-
rectiOn of WOlverport, apparently over
the Orange river.
The Irish-American ambulance ar
rived at Pretoria April ID. The Beers
report no casualties during the recent
fighting at Warrenton.

The Beers are short of ammunition.

says that the report that Captain

telegraphing Saturday, says: "Presi-
dent Kruger attended q conference of
the Boer commandments at Brandfort
on Thursday. 1t is believed that de-
cision was reached to withdraw the
TranSvaal forces to the north Of Vet

ment across the Vaal river, if hard
pressed leaving the Free Staters to
their own resources"
The Bloemfontein correspondent of

says: at is reported that reinforce
ments for the Beers, with sixty wag-
ons, have arrived at DeWet's dorp, en-
route for Wepener. This should precip-
tate an action. The statement that
President Kruger has been south seems
to confirm the reports that the Beers
are getting disheartened. This con-
tinued eXertion of his personal infiu-
ence appears now to have become a
necessity"

ASSAILED BY DIR. PARKHURST.
Says the Presbyterian Confession of Faith
Should Be Erased.


Should Be Erased.
New York, April 17.-Dr. Charles H.
Parkhurst, in his sermon on Chris
tianity as Accepted by Many of To-
day" said the Presby terrain confession
of faith should be obliterated. He
called it "libel on the infinite grace
of God" DR.. Parkhurst said in part:
II am not so much rejecting upon
the confession of faith as upon the use
that traditional and stereotyped ORTIZ
OdOXy-what | call CONCEALED Ortho-
doXy-makes of the confession; at the
same time I avail myself of the oppor-
tunity of that allusion to say that we
ought to have a new confession Of
faith. 1t is surprising that the presby-
terrain church is able to do as much as
it is doing with such an incubus
strapped upon us as we are lettering
under in our present confession. In
the first place. the thing needed is not
a system of theology, for that is what
our present confession is. but a simple.
brief Saxon statement of half a dozen
or SO of the vital ingredients of Jesus
Christ's message to the world"
