port says:
The signal corps has done a great
amount of work during the year with IT'S
accustomed energy and efficiency. Inc
telegraph system of Porto RICO was
trnsferred to the civil authorities on the
1st Of February. 1901. The corps mas op-
Grated during the year a telegraph sys-
tenn in Cuba of 8, 418 miles, most of which
it had built or rebuilt. 1t has been busi-
ly engaged in training Cubans In the tel

Great advance has been made toward
perfecting the system of communicating
in the Philippines, extending through
more than / coo miles from north to south,
the lines amounting on the LIST of July,
1901, to 4,S51 miles, an increase during the
fiscal year of 2,54 miles.
The chief of the signal corps again
urges attention to the great Importance
of an American tranS-Pacific cable. Inc
requirements for the use of such cabie
by our own government in Hawaii and IN
the Philippine islands are so great that
either it should be constructed and own
ed by the government, or II constructed
by private corporation the Landing
rights should be granted upon Such con-
ditions that the owners shall always re-
main in fact, an American corporation,
and shall be subject to such control ana
regulation by, congress as will insure gov
eminent control when necessary, and
commercial freedom in the use of the
cable at all times.
Among the comments on and the rec
concentrations regarding our outlying ter
ritories we find:
The government of the island of Cuba
during the past year has been peaceful
and orderly. There has been no ocra-
sion for interference by the United Stase5
forces with the ordinary administration
of law. Following the plan. of steadily
training the people in performing the
duties of government the organization
of the rural guard has been cen perfected,
head, and now includes total of 1900
men and officers, armed with modern
carbines and well mounted. In order that
upon the withdrawal of our troops the
island may not be without force COM
petent to to take charge of her coast for
tifcations, several companies of Cuban
troops have been organized.

ROOT FILES REPORT
RECORD OF MILITARY PERATIONs
OF LAST YEAR DETAILED BY
SECRETARY. OF WAR
AVOIDS cANTEEN QUESTION
Talks Over Haxing, Pacific Cable,
Navigation Laws, Cuban Reel
procity, Coast Defense and
National Militia.

WASHINGTON, Nov. 2S.-The report
of the secretary of war has been male
public 1t is most exhaustive, covering
all the operations coming under the di-
rection of that department.. Regarding
the army the secretary says:
On the Goth of November $780, the date
of the last annual report, the army Oh
the United States, according to the latest
reports received from the field, consisted
of 2.535 officers and 6S,22l enlisted men
of the regular establishment and IBIS
officers (of whom 233 were regular army
officers halding volunteer commissioner
and S1,O79 enlisted men of the aoo volunteer oil
force making total force of JOB, l50, con-
sisting of $3.50 officers and $500 enlisted
men, OF these 1850 were enlisted men OF
the hospital corps.
After a discussion of the reorganiza-
ton of the army under the act of Feb
2, 1901. he adds:
The regular establishment now con-
sists, according to the latest reports
which have been received, of {, 253 officers
ard 1884 enlisted men. There are also
1886 men of the hospital corps, 172 vol
unteer surgeons in the philippines, APP
pointed under section Is OF the act OF
Feb. g 1901, 1878 native scouts under the
command of 9S officers in the Philippines
and % officers and SIS men of the Porto
Rico Provisional regiment.
On the subject of the canteen the sec
rotary is conservative:
The provisions of section So of the act
of Feb. 2 1901 prohibiting the sale OF or
dealing in beer, wine, or any Intoxicating
liquors by any person in any post ex-
change, or canteen, or army transport,
or upon any premises used for military
purposes by the United States, have been
carried into full force and effect, pur-
Suant to the directions of the statute.
When the orders were issued for the
enforcement of this section of the law,
the commanding officers of the various
posts and military organizations Were
directed to report upon its effects. A
great body of reports has been received,
which indicate that the effect of the law
is unfortunate. ] think. however, that a
sufficient time has not elapsed to give
the law a fair trial, and the observation
and report of its workings win be con-
tinued during the ensuing year.

structed to facilitate the service. In Iowa
over 100 agreements have been entered
into between the county commissioners
and special agents of rural free delivery
to open, repair and maintain roads. Sim
liar agreements have been executed in
the states OF Washington, Minnesota and
California.
The states comprising the Southern di-
vision have hitherto been backward in
responding to the demand for improved
roads in connection with rural free de-
livery. 1t has been found necessary to
reject number of applications for the
service in Georgia, South Carolina, yir-
ginia and other Southern states because
of unbridgef creeks and impossible
roads.

and the oyster was also used in old
times. If the soup is selected drain one
quart of oysters from the liquor, pick
out bits of shell; chop the oysters rather
fine, add to the liquor drained from them

the boiling point; strain, add four level

DOCTRINAL CHANGE.
PRESBYTERIAN CREED IS TO BE
MADE MORE POPULAR
IN FORM
REvIsERs ARE NOW MEETING
Lapse of Two and Half Centuries
Necessitates Change in Word
ing-Are All Infants
Damned:

WASHINGTON, Nov. 2S.-The prelim-
mary work of revising the creed of the
Presbyterian church so as to make it
more popularity understood, was inau-
gurated here today at meeting of a sec
ton of the committee of twenty ap-
pointed at the last Presbyterian assem-
bly, to accomplish this result. The Sec
ton that met today began the prepara-
ton of a new statement of the doctrine
of the church. 1t spent much time in
discussion, but 10 agreement was reach
ed.
DR.. Herrick johnson, of Chicago, pre-,
sided, and the other members who par
ticipated were Reverends Doctors Minton
of San Francisco. and Speicher, of Cleve-
land, Ohio, and Justice Harlan, of the
United States supreme court. A form
of statement to replace the one now in
use was substituted, and other forms will
likely be submitted. The object is to
secure a formal expression of doctrine
that will be more definite and convey
to the lay mind a clearer understanding
of the subject than the present declara-
ton. A different mode Of expression was
aimed at
Recognize Changed Conditions.
1t was recognized that the 200 years
that have elapsed since the adoption of
the present statement of doctrine has
made some difference in the conceptions
of the authorities. There was some dis
cussion as to the Incorporation of a
statement regarding the personality of
God, but this proposition is still tenta-
tive one. The section Will hold another
session tomorrow, and will meet daily
until Wednesday, when the full commit
tee will convene with view to taking
final action.
Whether the deliberations of the full
committee will occupy a week or num-
Der of weeks is still conjectural The
other sections of the committee will meet
contemporaneously with the full body,
and frame propositions for action by
that body. One of these will draft new
chapters on the Holy Spirit and on the
love of God, and the other will make a
slight revision of the Confession of Faith
with reference to the elect infant decla-
rations.
1t is felt that the present statement on

with ears Of red and yellow corn, ripe
apples, nuts and other fruits of the har-

the fire bush were the floral trophies.
The centerpiece was a large pumpkin,
followed out to make a basket, and in
this were heaped the fruits that were to
be served at the close of the dinner. At
each place was a dinner card suitably
decorated, On one was a small roas,

thankful On another was a floating
spray of autumn leaves and the legend,

With the yellow and the purple and the

The Wedding Cake.

Wedding cake boxes are in any de-

enough In advance. At present. how
ever, there is tasteful preference for
severe shapes, with dependence upon
the best materials for distinction.
Heavy white water color" papers are
the proper sort for the covering of boxes,
On the tops or sides Of which the mono
gains, usually Of both bride and bride
groom, are blended in relief. either In
white or gold and silver Ribbons for
tying the boxes are Of MORE. taffeta or
satin.
The brides cake Is exclusively the
brides. Whatever the amount OF cake
previously stored in boxes for the guests
to carry away as they pass out there is
always an especially decorated caka
among the good things served to the
guests. It is intended frequently that the
bride herself shall cut this cake In the
presence of the guests especially her
maids. who expect to find in it a gold

marriage within year of the finder.
