WEBSTER DAVIS RESIGNS
HIS SECRETARYSHIP.
Beers While a Private Citizen Than
as "A Public Official.

WASHINGTON, April 3.--The formal
resignation of Webster Davis as assist
ant secretary of the interior was sent to
the president through his private seere-
tary. At the White House no state.
ment was obtainable concerning the res.
ignation other than the fact that it had
been received. and the officials declined
to say whether it would be accepted.
Mr. Davis decided to resign because
of the acceptance Of an invitation to
deliver a lecture on the South African
war, and he felt that as an official he
could not express his views with such
freedom as he could as a private eiti-
zen. The invitation was extended by
non partisan citizens Of Washington
and was not inspired in any way by per-
sons directly connected with Boer in
terests.
Mr. Davis said III part:
cit is purely matter of sympathy on
my part. | went to South Africa I'M
prejudieed, visited both armies, saw
much of the British soldiers and people,
and also much of the Beers. After see
ing what | did, made up my mind that
the cause OF the Beers was Just.
"When | entered the train at Pretoria,
on my return home, fully 1000 men and
women, mostly women, whose hus-
bands and fathers and sons were at the
front, gathered at the station to bid me
goodby, and as the tears rolled down
many Of thir faces, they made the last
request of me that | do everything
within my power upon my return home
to let the American people know of
~ 0i,. 70 loft
how they had been abused and out
rageously misrepresented by the Eng
fish.
1.-The English correspondents have no
trouble i'll getting their dispatches over
the cable lines, as they are controlled
absolutely by the British, while it is inn
possible for information regarding the
situation from the Beers standpoint to
reach the American people. If | did
not, as free American, decide to listen
to their appeals, my conscience would
burn and the faces of those suffering
people, as brave and as noble as God ever
let live III any land, would haunt me as
long as | live.
Il am, therefore, determined to do
everything in my humble way to assist
them. Their cause is just and in God
is their trust, and in the light of the
past history of the American people
who went through the same struggle, |
believe the Beers will win"
Mr.. Davis was asked what course he
would have the people of this country
pursue in order to assist the Beers. He
replied: "Do anything and everything
within their power, and let Great Brit
ain and the world know that the sympa-
thies of the American people are not
with Great Britain, but with the Beers
and in the interests of humanity and
civilization.
"We should let the world know that
such an unholy war should stop, and
stop at once.

Vt all. AS am no longer a Calvinist in the
old sense OF the term, and could not today ac-
cept the unrevised confession Of faith, have
decided TO demit my ministry in the Presby-
terrain church and, beginning ianew, to unite
with some other body on the statement Of my
present belief.
In going out from you, less some misunder-
stand my action, wish to reaffirm my faith in
what is called the great fundamental princi-
pies of Christianity. As never before believe
in God the Father, Maker of Heaven and Earth,
and in His loving providence, in His all-help-
full, allcomforting, allguiding and regenerat-
ing spirit in Jesus Christ, the world Savior
and Redeemer, and our way and truth and
life; in man made in the image of God, and
despite his sinfulness and ignorance he is sin
cerely and truthfully invited to come into the
likeness to his father l believe that what
Christ was and did, and suffered for few men
through three and thirty years, God is, and
does and suffers for all men, in all worlds
through all ages. If the new scholarship has
destroyed my old view Of the Bible, az never
before believe the Bible to be the word Of
God, a light to my feet and lamp to my path.
After years OF mental conflict and doubt, !

have bought these faiths at q great price.
Nothing can wrest them from me. For me
the priHcipsss Of evangelical Christianity seem
as firmly fixed as mountains and stars. So far.
also, from loving the Christian church and the
Christian ministry less, these views have
strengthened my love until it has become
ali-consuming passion There are hours when

At the conclusion Of the reading Of the letter
a motion to refer it to committee Of three
for consideration was adopted, and IL j. G. K.
Mcclure, president Of Lake Forest UNI yersity
DIR. William II. hoffman, Of the Fourth church.
and DR.. w. J. Chichester, Of the First church,
were named. DR.. Herrick johnson, president
OF Mccormick Theological seminary, who had
been named, withdrawing on the ground that
he had already expressed his opinion in fnvor
of the acceptance Of Dir. Hills resignation.
The committee spent some time in discussing
the letter, and finally decided to ask for two
weeks time in which TO consider the matter
before making any recommendation to the
preshvtery and the request was granted by
unanimous vote
Although none Of the members of the COM
mittee would express an opinion rs to TIE prob
able recommendation to be made many of the
ministers present stated they did not favor al.

certain Presbyterian doctrines were not con
fined to himself and that therefore, the eras-
ure of his name from the rolls of the Presby-
terrain church would be opposed. Such action.
they stated would be regarded in way
favorable to Dir. Hills, as it would allow him
to become a preacher Of the Congregational
church without doctrinal examination.

EXISTENCE OF WAR
FORMALLY RECOGNIZED.
War Depa rlment Took Such Action by
Approving Gen. Otis Action In
Kirkwood Conrtmartial.

WASHINGTON, April 3.-Secretary
Root stated that Major George o. Kirk
man. Forty ninth volunteer infantry, is
ne longer in the service of the United
States. by the approval of General Otis.
The approval of the president is unne-
cessary. Kirkman was accused of be-
ing drunk on the transport Liverpool,
ON the voyage from San Francisco to
Manila. Private advices also charged
him with affronting Archbishop Cha
pelle. who was one of the passengers.
The construction given by the war de-
partment to General Otis action in this
case commits the department, it is be-
lieved, to formal recognition of the ex-
istence of war in the Philippines. Ar
ticle 106 of the articles Of war expressly
provides that the sentence of dismissal,
in the case of an officer, shall not be car
ried out lin time of peace, except on
the approval Of the president of the
United States.

BROKEN BRIG .RRAG&.

Mr.. Major the famous cement man, of New
York, explains some very interesting facts
about Majors Gene, t.
The multitudeS who use this standard article
know thai it is many hundred per cent better
than other cements for which similar claims are
made, but great many do not know why. The
simple reason is that Mr.. Major uses the best
materials ever discovered and other manufac-
tureTs do not use them, because they are too eX-
pensive and do not allow large profits. Mr..
Major tells us that one of the elements of his
$2.65 gallon, while large share of the so-called
cements and liquid glue upon the market are
nothing more than Sixteen-cent glue, dissolved
in water or citric acid, and, in some cases. alter
ed slightly in color and order by the addition of
cheap and useless materials.
Majors cement retails for fifteen cents and
twenty-five cents bottle, and when dealer
tries to sell substitute you can depend upon it
that his only object is to make larger profit.
The profit on Majors cement is as much as
any dealer ought 10 make on any cement And
this Is doubly true in view Of the fact that each
dealer gets his share of the benefit of Mr..
Majors advertising, which now amounts to over
$4,000 month, throughout the country. Estab-
llShed in 1876
