The committee find en- examination of
the returns from the presbyteries the fol-
lowing facts:
That the returns plainly indicate that
the church desires some changes in its
credal statement.
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.
These returns also indicate that a large
plurality desire that changes should be
made by some new statement of present
doctrines.
The returns also indicate a desire
upon the part Of many presbyteries for
some revision Of the present confession.
1t was, therefore, unanimously agreed
by the committee to recommend to the
general assembly that some revision or
change be made in our confessional state
ments Substantial but not final agree
ment was reached as to the method of
preparing changes embodying both re-
vision and supplemental statement, but
the determining of the whole matter was
deferred to subsequent meeting.

where he entered the state normal
school, from which he graduated in 1871.
He went to La Crosse Immediately after
graduating and taught school for five
years, a portion of the time being prin-
cipal.
During the latter part of this period
Mr.. Fruit took up the law, reading in the
office of James j. Lyndes in his spare
moments. After some preparation in
this manner, he left the vocation of
school principal and entered the Univer
sity of Wisconsin law school, graduating
in the spring of 1877. In the same
spring, before he graduated, Mr.. Fruit
to practice in Dane county. He went
back to La Crosse Immediately upon
completing his course and entered into
partnership with Herman Pfund now
of Madison. At the end of six months
Mr. Pfund left the city and Mr.. Fruit
practiced alone until 1880, when the pres
ent county judge. John Brindley, became
associated with him. and the firm name
was Fruit & Brindley until the close of
1897, when the latter was elected to Of
flee. Mr.. Fruit then became connected
with George III. Gordon and the present
firm of Fruit & Gordon was formed.
Mr.. Fruit has held many offices in the
gift of the people. He was city superin-
tendent of schools at La Crosse for one
year, prior to the arrival or Prof. Albert
Hardy. now of the Platteville normal,
when he devoted portion of his time to
the schools. He was district attorney
five years beginning January. 1882, and
assistant United States district attorney
under S. A. Harper of Madison during
Harrison's administration. He is the
present president of the board of educa-
ton of La Crosse, of which he has been
q member for the past five years. Gov
Upham appointed Mr.. Fruit a member of
the board of normal regents about five
years ago and he is vice-president of that
body at the present time.
Mr.. Fruit has made an enviable repu-
tation as a trial lawyer and is OF decid-
eddy judicial turn of mind a man popu-
lar with the people and against whose
honor and fairness there has never been
word breathed. His integrity is above
any attack. The Cadwallader will case,
a suit from West Superior tried in the
United States court, brought Mr.. Fruit
into prominence probably more than any
other Senator Spooner was the attor-
ney OH the other side and the case Occu-
pied many days in trial. Mr.. Fruit was
also one of the attorneys in the Thayer
bank cases, both the civil and criminal
suits arising in Sparta, Wis. AS prose-
cutting attorney, while representing the
state and in defending clients from Grim
inal charges he has also shown unusual
ability in arranging. preparing and try
ing cases of which he has had scores.

SECRETARY OF STATE
WANTS NO CHANGES.
Story that Mr.. Hay will Resign If
Canal Treaty is Amended
by the Senate.

Washington, d. c.. Dec. S-The story
is current about the Senate that Secre-
tary Hay will resign unless the canal
treaty is ratified practically as sent to
the Senate. He takes the ground, they
say, that failure to ratify the treaty
amounts to q vote of want of cOnfider
in him.
From feelings of genuine personal
Irlendsnlp to the secretary and to save
him any possible humiliation. many Re
publican senators are willing to vote for
the treaty as it stands. At the same
time it generally is understood that the
Senate will pass either the Davis
amendment or something like it, and pos
sibly some others beside.
Aside from the Pauncefote treaty and
the Alaskan boundary convention, the
diplomacy of the secretary of state has
generally received commentator. The
prediction is generally made, however.
that the treaty will be seriously amended
at the executive session next Thursday.
1t well understood that the treaty
cannot possibly be ratified in it's present
form. 1t is just barely possible it can
be ratified after it has been thoroughly
amended, and many senator's who do not
desire to recognize the Clayton-B ulwer
treaty at all, will, nevertheless, vote to
ratify the amended Hay treaty simply to
clear the decks for the canal BILL If the
treaty is amended at all it will be in
the direction of permitting the defense of
the canal by the United States, and as
this is quite in line with the Hepburn
bill, an agreement has been reached that
after the treaty has been disposed of in
any way the canal bill itself shall at
once be taken up and onsidered on alter
nate days with the subsidy measure.
which is to be discussed pretty much all
the session.
