of Unprecedented Car Shortage.
Chicago, Dec. 26.-Iron and Steel to-
morrow will say:
Precedence over all other conditions
in the metal market is taken by the
transportation problem. A month ago
it was confidently expected that by
Jan. 1 the normal efficiency of the
carriers would be restored. To-day
that longed for condition seems as far
distant as ever. The extremely
crippled condition of railway traffic
is now generally accounted for in this
way. The American plan of locomotive
operation is to get the maximum
amount of service in the shortest pos
sible time. That is, a locomotive VIII
be worked twenty-four hours a day
for ten years, when possible, rather
than twelve hours day for eighteen
or twenty years, as is done in Europe.
For the past six months or longer rail-
way engines have been worked to their
utmost capacity, because of an unpre-
cedentedly large volume of freight. 1t
was the anticipation of the traffic man
ayers that the heavy freight movement
would end before the holidays as in
previous years, and that there would
then be ample opportunity for extern
sive repairs. But the traffic unexpect-
edly kept up or increased. The result
is that nearly half the locomotive
capacity is crippled, waiting for re-
pairs that cannot be completed in six
months. Consequently the present
hauling capacity of the railroad com
with prospects of only slow improve

statement May Be Reported TO
Next General Assembly, and the
Revision Movement Sidetracked
by Its Supporters Until 1908.
Pittsburg, Pa, Dec. 26.-The Presby-
terrain creed revision committee has is
sued the following statement through
it's secretary. Rev. DR.. William Henry
Roberts:
For the information of the church,
1 am authorized to say that the Com
mittee on Credal Revision met at Wash
ington, D. c., Dec. 4, and remained in
session until Dec. IA. The work accom-
PUBLISHED at the meetings is The Brief
Statement of the Reformed Faith in
untechnical terms and also a declara-
tory statement. The statement of the
reformed faith is contained in sixteen
articles and the declaratory statement
covers chapter 3, chapter 10, section 8;
chapter %, section 6, of the Confession
of Faith, as specified in the assembly,
Instructions to the committee, and also
additional statements as to the gospel
and the Holy Spirit The work thus
far done is altogether tentative, is not
for publication and is to De considered
at another meeting of the committee
TO be held in Philadelphia, Feb. 5, 1902.
The committee also appointed sub
committee of five, consisting of f. w.
C. Humphrey, Drs. McKibbin, Fisher,
Niccolls and Moffat, to prepare a ten
tative revision of the Confession of
Faith on the several points contained
in the instructions of the committee
above named, the same to be consid-
cred at the February meeting, along
with the declaratory statement.
1t is generally understood by the
Presbyterian ministers in this city that
the plan of the committee is to report
the declaratory statement to the next
general assembly and sidetrack the re-
vision movement until the assembly of
1908. The new creed men on the COM
mittee are aggressive and believe that
the plan of campaign will best promote
their desires and give relief at once to
the church.

AGREED ON ARBITRATION.
American Nations Will All Become
Members of Hague Convention.

members of Hague Convention,
city of Mexico, Dec. 26.-To-day a
substantial agreement on the subject
OF arbitration was practically reached
by the several delegations to the Pan
American conference. Contrary to
what had been anticipated it is almost
certain that the agreement is unani-
nous, including even Argentina. who,
1t was thought, would refuse to sign
any but compulsory scheme of arbi-
tratlon. The basis of agreement is
simply the Hague convention,
All the nations represented at the
conference in Mexico will become par
Ties to the Hague convention. They
might join it independently, but as the
United States and Mexico are already
members of the Hague convention, it
mas been concluded that they shall
nave the honor of introducing the other
nations. In addition, the nations to
the conference other than the United
states, Chilli Colombia, Ecuador, Mic
aragua and perhaps one or two others
VIII sign among themselves a scheme
OF compulsory arbitration, but still ac-
ceptlng the Hague tribunal and the
Hague procedure. This compulsory
plan. however, it is said, will only
take effect among the signatory ma
lions and will not have the official
sanction of the Pan-American confer
ence.
A sentiment is growing up in favor
OF nxlng Jan. as the definite date
for the closing of the conference.
Hon. Volney Foster of Chicago, one
of the United States delegates, takes
a hopeful view of the result OF the
conventions work, declaring that he
believes that the Congress will be a
success, and that it will achieve what
1t set out to do under its programme.
