IN TENTATIVE FORM
A Brief Statement Of Faith Com
pleted Today.
WORK OF PRESBYTERIAN COMMITTEE
Progress Made in Preparing
Dec'aratory Announcement.
A MOTH ER NE E TT N g
A N OF 81 E r NJ E E tt N G.

Tomorrow will be the tenth day since the
Presbyterian revision committee began its
sessions in this city The important work
intrusted to 1t of the preparation of a brief
statement of the reformed faith and of rec
ommending certain changes in the confess
sion OF faith has been steadily prosecuted.
Two sessions have been held each day,
and yesterday the committee met for a
third session in the evening. The confer
ence was resumed again this morning. with
full attendance of the members, in the
usual place of meeting, the chapel of the
church of the Covenant, and at the close
1t was stated that brief statement of the
reformed faith had been completed In it's
tentative form. A further consideration
will be given to it before the committee
adtourns.
The declaratory statement in it's tenta-
tive form was taken up, and the preamble
dealing with the ordination vows of minis
ters and elders, and also an article as set
forth in chapter third of the Confession of
faith on Gods eternal decree were adopt
ed. This declaratory statement is intend
ed to explain the disputed points in the
Confession of Faith such as the salvation
Of infants, etc.
Mr.. John e. Parsons of New York city
and Rev. Henry Van Dyke of Princeton
were today excused from further attend
ance upon the sessions of the committee
and will leave for their homes this after
noon. Rev. Herrick johnson of Chicago
leaves for his home this evening.
The committee has been invited by the
Church of the Covenant to hold it's next
meeting in that church, and when the
committee adjourns it will be to meet two
or three months hence in this city.
The members of the committee indi-
vidually have expressed to Rev DIR. Hami.n,
the pastor Of the church, and the represen-
tative of the official host Of the commit
tee in this city, their appreciation for the
comfortable and convenient rooms placed
at their disposal.

THE FIGHT ON SPALDING

Syndicate Scheme.
Special Dispatch to The Evening Star.

Special Dispatch to The Evening Star.
NEW YORK, December 13.-The National
League has got into one of the most beau
tiful tie-ups in its history all because GER
tain members are not in favor of the cleo
ton of A. G. Spalding president. That is
what the real fight is over, Notwithstanding
the fact that there is a secondary fight
over plan to regulate the affairs of the
organization in, the future. Spalding is
persona non grata to Freedman and Brush
because of some past, history.
The whole question hinges on whether
the Boston club can be induced to throw
It's vote to Spaidinga Should 1t do so he
would be selected by a vote of five to
three. and he would accept under such
conditions Notwithstanding the fact that
1t has been announced that he would not
become president except by unanimous
vote. aHa.ss= -
Every effort is being made to swing Bos-
ton over, But Soden. who has been in con-
sultation with Brush and Freedman on
the other plan, Is In no hurry to be moved.
At the last moment he may make a change
but he will only do so when assured that
the New York and Cincinnati clubs are
perfectly satisfied with what confronts
them.
There was a red-hot time in the leae
meeting yesterday, and little by little some
snatches Of the conversation that took
place are reaching the public. Brush was
not in favor of his plan of a board Of con-
troll to regulate the affairs of the National
League. He took 1t in good part and sent
back some rather tart replies himself. The
most important fact is that both sides, not
withstanding all the discussion that is he
ing made, reiterate that when the league
adjourns 1t will be with a perfect under
standing, and with plan that will be
pushed through to completion: SO it ap-
pears evident that ~hen the members do
settle down to business they will present
a united front to the American League
Brush's plan. which has been referred to
as trust scheme. Is opposed by Dreyfuss.
who is fearful that it will mean the distri-
nution OF his players. whom he has gotten
together after some effort. 81 am not TAX

Will never give my consent to this matter
and they may stay here and talk until the

do so.'
1t seems to be well assured that HanIon
or Joe Kelley will be manager and captain
of the New York team next year. Freed
man has not given up getting Hanlon. not
withstanding the fact that the Brooklyn
people say that they cannot afford to let

The Chanute times. [volume] (Chanute, Kan.) 1897-1913, 1901-05-24

AS the Pioneer Press pointed out
some time agothe excitement over the
Russian tariff was much ado about lit
tie. Illinois manufacturers and other
associations sent grave and reverend
deputatons to Washington to protest
against the countervailing sugar duty
which they argued would shut out of
the Russian market some $30,000,0 900
of exports yearly. Secretary Gage in
formed them in the first place he could
not unmake the law requiring coun-
tervailing duty, and that he had no
option in the matter. In the second
place, he told the Populations, what
they could have learned in any gov
eminent report, that the annual ex-
ports of our products to Russia did
not amount to $30,000,000, but to
$10000,000 only. When they told him
about the trade in agricultural ma
chinery they were told, what they
could have learned in any reliable
newspaper, that agricultural imple-
ments and machinery were exempt I'M
der the Russian retaliatory order. 1t
now appears that not only our agricul-
tural machinery is exempt, but almost
all our iron and steel. which is the
most important item on our list of ex
ports to Russia, will not be affected
by the order. These two classes of
exports are a large part of the total
sent to all Russian ports. And when
it is considered that some other arti-
cles are also exempt. it appears that
the intense excitement of the country
was as premature as it was useless
st. Paul Pioneer Press.
The Chanute times. [volume] (Chanute, Kan.) 1897-1913, 1901-05-24

But we have to consider In this connec-
ton Is true only In a few cases; Sec
ond, that it applies to foreign manu-
facturers as well as our own, and,
third and most important, that it Is
labor that receives the benefit OF Pro-
lection.
For example, suppose that manu-
facturer finds that by employing a
thousand additional men he can re-
duce the total cost of his product by
10 per cent. If he does that he will
make more goods than the home mar
ket can absorb, even at reduced price.
So that it will pay him, and afford adj
ditionaT employment to labor, II he
sells his surplus product to foreign
market at a greater reduction than at
home, or even at cost of production.
''Then, again, foreign combinations
of capital, which are real trusts and
there are no trusts, in the legal sense,
in the United States, although there
are hundreds abroad, even in Free
Idue EilSiduu- ilt constantly othuihS
their surplus product to this country
at prices ruinous to competition They
do this by the device of billing their
goods, not to American importers, but
to their own agencies in this eoun-
try. This is an abuse upon which
could dilate at length. But every man
ufacturer, every wholesale and retail
merchant, understands how the Pro-
tective intent of our tariff is thus
evaded.
at seems to me-" concluded Mr.
Moore that any survey of our re-
cent commercial history must convince
any candid mind that the country will
not consent to enter into any such re-
vision of the tariff as Mr. Babcock
suggests. Only twenty-five years ago
the United States was fourth in the
| list of exporting nations. Today the
United States holds first place. In
that time the United States has in
creased it's exports 1872 per cent. Our
tariff has made us the most prosper
Gus nation on earth. Labor COM
mands here the highest wages 1t is
labor that would suffer most from a
radical change in our policy of sane
