of the Central Presbyterian church of
this city, is in favor of revision of the
Westminster confession. He said: u
would favor revision of the confess
sion OF faith, especially the third chap
ter. Somehow many persons now over
look that section of that chapter which
sets forth that God DEGREES SO as there
by neither is He the author of sin, nor
is violence offered 10 the will OF the
creature That section should be made
as emphatic as to command the atten-
ton of every reader. And if any sec
ton in the confession can be tortured
Into a declaration of infant damnation
Lit should be changed in its wording as
to be beyond the possibility Of misin-
Interpretations. The Presbyterians are
considerably stirred up over the action
of DIR. Hills, who 30 dramatically
called the attention ofethe world to the
sbarbarism in their creed. The demand
/. for revision is universal To be sure
l.mighty few Presbyterians could b.
i found in this day who would accep
the doctrine of infant damnation o
predestination. and it has become obso
.Ilete. but there it stands. nevertheless.

Taylor at Washington.

Washington, April 19-Governor Tay-
Tor, of kentucky. was at the capitol to-
day. but hesitated about going on the
floor of the house. to which privilege
governors of states are entitled. Rep
resentatiSe Rodenburg met the gov
ernor in the corridor and invited him:
TO go in the house, but Governor Tay-
lor felt some delicacy about the mat
ter and also feared the democrats
would object to his presence. Mr..
Rodenburg and one or two other re-
publicans talked to the republican Lead
ers about the matter and they insisted
that the governor Of Kentucky should
Ienjoy all the privileges to which he was
entitled, and il the democratic mem:
bers Of the house objected the repuoli-
4 cans would vote them down. On this
conditnn Governor Taylor Went upon
the floor and took up a position IN the
Republican cloak room, where nearly
all republican members paid their re-
spects and assured the governor they
we're his friends. "A few democrats
were also presented to the governor.
3|but the majority of them ventured only
i as far as the cloak room door and
peered in curiously to see what sort OF
4 a. looking man Governor Taylor was.

NO REDUCTION IN REVENUE.

peal Special stamp Taxcs.

Not Likely Tint Congress VIII lie.
peal Special stamp Taxes.
Washington. April 19.-It is now ex-
stremely doubtful that anything will be
done at this session to reduce the war
revenue taxes. Alsho many interests of
the country have appealed toscongress
for relief. and the house is willing to.
make some reduction. the senate
finance committee will, in all probabil-t
ity. completely block Legislation of this
kind. 1t is also claimed on excellent
authority that President Mckinley is
unwilling to go into this question at
this time, and notwithstanding the
growing surplus. the opposing influ-
ences will probably be strong enough to
defeat the attempt to reduce the taxes.
The members of the ways and means
committee are in favor of cutting down
\ the war revenue act to the extent of
$50. .0GO 600 and taking the tax off propri-
ietary medicines and instruments of
business, such as stamps on cnecks,
drafts. bills of exchange. bills of lading.
memoranda of contracts for the rent of
Hand, powers of attorney, and other
deeds whereby any land is transferred
or otherwise conveyed. The members of
the senate finance committee are unwil-
\ ling to do this for two reasons. One is,
lit is feared if bill of this kind is
brought in the session of congress will
be prolonged until the middle of July.
Another and more important reason is
THAT the senators believe IL a bill re-
lpealing some of these taxes is taken UP
lfor consideration 1t will be loaded
down with amendments. and conse-
quently the entire war revenue act will
be wiped out of existence.
They take the ground that II thil
should be done the. surplus in the treas
Jury would disappear instantly and
more damage would result to the bust
ness of the country than II the entire
war revenue should remain in effec,
4 another year. 1t has not been positive.
lily decided that nothing will be done
but the members of the house are un-
4 willing to attempt legislation of thi.
4 Kind unless they are certain 1t will
!. meet with success. In the near future
the ways and means committee and tht
Isenate finance committee will meet anu
discuss this question and il the com
mittee OF the upper house will agree I,

but if no agreement can be reache,

j THINK ROBERTS IS ADVANCING.

"A
Under Guisc OF Entrappin1 Boers.
London, April 19. There is a strong
impression in the best Informed mill
tary circles that the advance of Gen.
Roberts army has already begun, un-
der the guise of deliberate attempt
to entrap the Beers who have been be-
sieging Wepener.
S Columns are admitted to be in mos
tion from Aliwal North and from Red
dersburg for the relief of the garrison
OF Wepener, bat 1t is suspected that
there are other columns operating fur
ther north which have not been men
tloned by Gen. Roberts and that under
the pretense OF cutting off the retreat
or the Boer raiders he has entered upon
great turning movement which will
render the enenly's position north of
Bloemfontein untenable.
The rigor with which the censorship
ss enforced seems TO corroporate that
theory. But more reasonable View Is
that the suppression of the raid in the
southeastern corner OF the Free State
30 an episode and that when the British.
army moves 1t Will follow the railway
and not stop until Pretoria is occupied.
There has been little news for twenty!
ability that when the raiders In the
south are either captured or dispersed
Gen. Roberts, army will go north with
his Irresistible force, and the campaign
will be ended more speedily even than
i the optimists now venture to hope.
Gen. White is now beyond the reach of
4 the criticism which Is proving ST de-
gtructive to the reputatlons of the gem
erals in the field. He made another fe-
licttouy address at Egham yesterday,
and declared that Ladysmith, with old
John Bull behind 1t, was never without
hope.
Meanwhile the two or three generals
who finally rescued Ladysmith nav
been left in an untenabie position by the
publication OF Gen. Roberts structures
upon the Spionkop reports.
II was rumored yesterday that Gen.
Warren had been recalled to England
and while there was no direct officia
confirmation, the story is probably true
The cooperation of Gen. Euller and
Gen. Warren in Natal Is rendered im-
possible by the appearance of their re.
ports in prints.
The same argument applies to the re
lations Of Gen. Roberts and Gen. Bull.
Ter. and Change in command of ths
British forces in Natalis considered tn,
inevitable consequence of the publica-
tion OF Lord Roberts incisive criticism
The fact is recalled that Gen0War
Fen's sivision was sent to Durham afte

Colony, and thnt the orders were sud
denly recalled and the troops orderet

Two brigades after considerable della.
