PRESBYTER|ANS IN SESSION
At Philadelphia = General Assem-
bly, Takes Up Question of
REVISION OF THEIR CREED.
Fifty of the esq Members Ask Dismissal
OF SubIect-Many Ask Revision or an
Explanatory Statement-An Indian Out

Revision of Presbyterian Confession.


The important question of revising
the creed, which for the last two years
has been agitating the Presbyterian
church, came before the general as
sembly at Philadelphia on the 23d.
The controversy regarding revision has
led to the formation of three groups
among the Gao commissioners TO the
general assembly. One group opposes
change in doctrinal standards An
other is DESTROYS of setting aside the
confession of faith as not truthfully
expressing the belief of the church.
The third favors maintaining the old
confession with few notifications,
and desires the adoption of clear
''declarative" statement, setting forth
the most important doctrines. In an
swer TO the questions submitted to the
presbyteries, so asked the assembly to
dismiss the whole subject, one was I'M
decided, four said they neither desired
revision nor a supplemental state
ment, nor the dismissal Of the whole
subject and of the 233 presbyteries, )
in the IT, S, and 16 in foreign lands,
failed to respond. OF the remaining
presOytefles, nearly tWo-thlrdS OF the
whole number ask for some change in
the crccdal statement, AZ desire a re-
vision of the confession, II an explain
atory statement, l revision and an eX-
planatory statement, So supplemental
statement, Is revision and supple
mental statement. / an explanatory
statement and supplemental state
ment, IA a substitute creed, an alter
native creed, and some change, not
specified
The Presbyterian general assembly,
by vote which showed conclusively
that revision of the confession of
faith is desired by the church, on the
cath defeated the amendment dismiss
ing the whole subject offered the day
before by Rev Geo. ID. Baker, of Phila-
delphia The assembly decided by an
overwhelming majority TO continue
consideration of the great question.

Artificial silk apparently can be
made, but 1t answers to the real thing
as oleomargarine answers to butter.
Going the rounds OF the papers OF Con-
tinental Europe is an item that three
factories for the production OF artih-
cial silk are in operation: that one, In
Wolston, England, produces 5000
pounds a week; one In Besancon,
France. 10000 pounds, and one In
Spreitenbach. Germany, $500 pounds.
1t is stated. furthermore, that other
factories will soon be built In Belgium
and In Germany. Before the Frankfort
Society OF Natural Philosophy DR..
Freund, In recent lecture on the sub
ject. said that though artificial silk
can compete with natural silk, 1t is not
as valuable. Artificial silk has been
used as covering for cables and as
substitute for horsehair, but 1t has a
tendency to break II wetted and, there
fore, IL must usually be mixed with
natural silk and cotton. The artificial
silk is cheaper than the natural, and
more brilliant effects can be produced
with ii. This industry, which is said
to be purely chemical, is expected TO be
developed to its fulleset extent In a
few years.-New York Press.

The most dramatic incident in the
history of the Americas cup occurred
on the 22d when sudden squall on
the Solent completely wrecked the new
challenger and endangered the life of
King Edward and several distinguished
persons, including Sir Thomas Upton.
Sir Thomas calculates that delay of
three weeks or a month in the date of
the contest in American waters will
enable him to come to the scratch He
says that he is greatly Handicapped by
the fact that he has no duplicate masts
for the Shamrock H., but by an un-
limited expenditure of money and en-
ergy he believes the defects can be
remedied in time to sail this year.

Gov Charles IL. Allen, of Porto Rico,
has presented to the President, through
the state department, his first annual
report. He expresses the opinion that
a scheme of colonial administration,
such as is found in the Danish, French
and English West Indies, might be
safely instituted with variations de-
pendent upon the future policy of the
home government. The governor re-
fers to the many suggestions offered
that the form Of territorial govern
ment adopted by the L. S. be applied
TO Porto Rico, but points out that n
standard form Of such government,
while useful in the U. s.. would not
apply successfully to this island pos
session. He calls attention to the fact
that while in such close proximity to
the L. 5. Porto Rico has been com
paratively unknown island to Ameri-
cans. In conclusion Gov. Allen urged
the introduction of fresh blood and
Anglo-Saxon push and energy as the
means of lifting the little island out
of its lethargy, and by thrift and in
dustry, develop its riches to their full
measure
