PREsBYTERlANS' NEW CONFESSION
General Assembly Places Work In Hands
of Revision Committees With Rec
concentrations.

Philadelphia, May 27.-By unanimous
vote the Presbyterian General Assembly
today adopted the report of the special
committee on revision of the confession OF
faith. The debate Oh this important
question had entered into the fourth day,
and to Rev. DR.. James d. Moffat is due
the credit of having brought the commits
sioners to such harmonious conclusion.
When he presented this amendment
today it was instantly accepted by The
commissioners and the adoption of the re
port as a whole followed with but little de-
lay.
A viva voce vote was taken and when
$40 ayes responded to the question the
commissioners arose and sang: "Pralse
God From Whom All Blessings Flow,
which was followed by prayer of thanks
giving by Moderator Minton.
The recommendations as amended and
finally adopted by the general assembly,
and which will be the guiding star for the
revision committee IN its work of revising
the confession of faith, are as follows;
"a. We recommend that committee
as provided for Uy the form of govern
ment, chapter XIII, section 8, be ap'
pointed by this assembly.
"B. We recommend that this commit
tee be instructed to prepare and to submit
to the next general assembly for such dis
position as may be judged to be wise,
brief statement of the reformed faith, ex'
pressed, as far as possible, in untechnlca
terms. The said statement is to be pre-
pared with a view to its being employed
to give information and better under
standing Of our doctrinal beliefs, and moi
with view to its becoming substitute
for or an alternative of our confession OF
faith
&c. We further recommend that this
committee be instructed to prepare
amendments of chapter III, chapter X,
section 8; chapter XVI, section Z; chapter
XXI, section 3, and chapter XIV, sec
ton 6 of our confession of faith, either by
modification of text or by declaratory
statement, but so far as provided by de
claratory statement, so as more clearly to
express the mind of the church, with ad
dtional statements concerning the love o.
God for all men, missions and the Holy
Spirit. 1t being understood that the re
vision shall in no way impair the integrit!
of the system of doctrine set forth in oul
confession and taught in the Holy Scrip
ture."

TEXAS OIL.
impossible to Eetimate the Extent Of the
Field.

Washington, May 25th.-Robert I.
Hill, geologist of the United States geolo'
gical survey, has returned from an exten'
ded geological investigation in the Texas
oil fields, and has embodied the results in
a report which sa7s:
The importance of this oil field is far
greater than at resent can be described
or estimated. 1t means not only cheap
fuel supply to the largest State in area in
the Union but owing to its proximity to
the water it promises an export trade such
as exits no where else in the world. Pre-
parations are being made to sink hundreds
of wells, and very soon the present output
of 500, 900 barrels day may be quadru
pied.
1t is intirey within the limit of proba
bility that oil will be found at many places
throughout the coastal prairie, especially
in it's southern extension toward the Rio
Grande and in the northeastern State o
Mexico at Tamalipus.
The outcrop of the territory formations
in southwest Texas in Wilson, Atascosa
McMullen, Duyall and other counties are
naturally rich in oil and the practical oil
men are risking their money in expert
menting in that region. AS the oil bear
ing tertiary strata extend east fthe Mis-
sissippi into Mississippi and Alabama it il
not beyond possibility that the oil may b'
found in these States.
1t is impossible now to state exactly th'
extent of the oil yielding bed which sup
plies the Beaumont we'll and this can b.
only determined by experiments.
The area of profitable exploitation of tn
oil fields is confined between the San ia
cinto and tie Sabine rivers, east of th
Houston and West Texas railroad ant
south of Oil City, Nagadoches county
This area may be extended or restrictet
by future exploitation.
1t is very probable that other oil field
may be discovered in the coastal plain be
tween Beaumont and Tamico fields. Her
lies a vast territory underlain by the oi
bearing ocean formations which has no
been exploited.

SOUTH CAROLINA SENATORS RESIGN.
Tinman and McLaurin Place Dual Re-
siqnation in Hands of the Governor
Both Will Be Candidates.

Columbia, S. c., May.-Today at Gaff-
ney there was spirited debate between
United States Senators B. r. Tillman and
John l.. McI.aurn. As a announcement
both Of them have put their designations
in the hands of Governor McSweeney.
They have resigned with the understand
ing that they are to 60 before the people
of the State in joint canvass and the sem
timent of the people is to be expressed in
the vote in Democratic primary to be
held in November.
The arrangement is sensational, for Till
man was last summer elected for six years
and McLaurin has yet two years. The re-
cult of the issue means that if Tillman il
sustained, McLaurin's seat will be vacant
if Mel ,urin is successful he will succeed to
Tillmaa's long term.

McLaurin had been invited to Gaifney
and friends of Tillman asked him to come
too. McLaurin accused Tilman of attack.
ing hun when Tilman is IN a bombprOof.
The latter declared that he would resign
and meet McLaurin on the stump. Nc
Laurin agreed to the proposition.
Senator Tillman later submitted writ
ten proposition which was acceptable to
Senator McLaurin, except that the latter
wanted the campaign to be hello in Octo'
Der and November instead of this summer.
McLaurin stated that this was suggested
on occount of his poor health.
There were several proposals submitted
between the two. Senator McLaurin
wanted the race to be confined to Senator
Tillman and himself. The latter declared
that he could not dictate to the Democrat
ic executive committee WREN the primary
should be held or how many candidates
there should be.

Youis respectfully, etc.
Under the election methods in this State
the State Democratic executive committee

the candidates will be voted for directly.
The general assembly merely confirms the
action of the primary. The campaign will
be pitched year earlier than expected,

APPEAL MADE
TO CONVENTION.
Booker 7. Washington Presents Address
To the Alabama Body.
ON BEHALF OF The NEGRO RACE.
Urges That Relations Between the Races
Are Reasonably Satisfactory and De-
plOreS Anything That will IN
settle The Negro.

Montgomery, Ala, May 2S.-Booker T.
Washington in behalf of his race today
presented to the constitutional convention
an appeal for conservative action.
The address reminds the convention
that the negroes came here against their
will, but have been benefited, trained
and christianized. They did their duty in
the Civil War and in the Spanish war.
They have ceased for twenty years to be
an offensive element in politics. Leading
members of the race have persistently
urged the negro to learn to trust the white
man. For these men this is a crucial time.
The negro pays some direct taxes. He
pays much more indirectl, through his
labor. He is in the main a producer of
wealth and generally contented and law
abiding Already the emigration agents
and exodus associations are at work on the
negro's fears that his citizenship and
schools will both be taken away. The re-
latons are now reasonably satisfactory be-
tween the races. Anything that will un'
settle that will unsettle the negro now,
when he is settling down to thrift and
common sense, will injure both races.
The address pleads that all incentive for
right and useful Lying be not withdrawn
from the young negroes. 1t concluded:
"Any law which will merely change the
name and form of fraud, or can be inter-
preted as meaning one thing when applied
to another, will not, in our opinion, inn
prove our present conditions, but may un-
settle the peace and thrift of our people
and decrease the wealth and prosperity of
our country"

China Indemnity.

Pekin, May 29.-It seems probable that
Great Britain's proposition limiting the
indemnity to be demanded from China to
45O, 900, 900 taels will be agreed to by the
end of the week. United States Special
Commissioner Rockhill thinks this may be
considered an American victory. Though
his proposition limiting indemnity to 3l0,-
600, 900 taels was not accepted, still it was
the cause of the other powers considering
the idea.

Very soon after his mother sent Jack

JACK first got a good long string and

And when his mother saw him conine

agreed, if Jack would promise never to

where he hid it, that he would give him

Poor Jack, as you may we'll suppose.
was only too glad to consent to this, aud
the old miser gave him half of the gold
in the bag. and Jack went home to his
mother with this.
And whel. ne came home with the gold,
you may be sure his mother was glad, and
welcomed him.
And with this gold she built a grand
house and dressed up Jack like a young
