KAISER WILL NOT BE REPORTED
Issues Stringent Orders Excluding Re-
porters when He Speaks,

Berlin, May 23.-Emperor william
has issued stringent orders to hence
forth exclude newspaper reporters
from all public and semi-public func-
tions where the emperor intends to
speak. The emperor's encourage and
the police have been given instructions
to render impossible the stenographic
reporting of his speeches or the taking
of notes thereon
The emperor Is said to be extremely
wroth that his address to the Emperor
Alexander regiment became public in
spite of the great precautions taken to
prevent that contingency. Emperor
William Is further reported to have
said that the utterances he makes when
within the circle Of his officers are not
intended for the public, especially as he
does not then often mince matters and
talks confidentially. The emperor has
expressed the opinion that the more
important of his public speeches ought
to be printed only as to their general
rdift and not verbatim and that such
summaries of his speeches be given to
the Reichsanzeiger and the semi-offi-
cial bureau
The Gereman papers, commenting on
this matter, say it Is impossible to car
ry it out since among the emperor's
guests there will always be some one
to inform the press as to what has
been said, and, necessarily incorrectly.
Emperor William has ordered that
these instructions first flo into effect at
the unveiling of the Bismarck monu-
ment, which occurs June 3.

would one os five cents. Even now
there is new litigation beginning in the
suit before Judge Shepherd, at Hart
ford, Conn. The motion is to strike out
a portion of the complaint as irrelevant,
and think the matter will be referred
to master for decision"

to the advisability and practicability Of

PR RESB YTERIAN FAITH REVISION
Important Question Now Under Dis
cussion by General Assembly.

|
Philadelphia, May 23.-With eloquence
| born of the solemn Importance of the
question, commissioners to the Presby
terian General Assembly to-day began
the debate on the revision of the con-
fession of faith. Brilliant leaders of
the church advanced their views in a
calm, dispassionate manner, and the en-
tire discussion was devoid of acrimony.
Calvary church was not large enough
to accommodate the throngs who clam
ored for admission. Among the specta-
tors were many clergymen of other de-
nominations.
The great question came before the
assembly with the reading of the report
of the committee on revision by Rev.
DR.. Charles A. Dickey, chairman This
was followed by the minority report
read by Rev DR.. William McKibben, of
Cincinnati.
A rule of the assembly gives chair
men the right to speak on their reports
after they have been received, but be-
fore DR.. Dickey could secure recogni-
ton Rev. DR.. Samuel j. Niccolls moved
the adoption of the first recommenda-
tlOn IN DOln reports. rev. III JdlleS
D. Moffatt made substitute motion to
adopt the minority report, and an
amendment was offered substituting the
minority report.
Rev. DR.. George d. Baker presented
vas another amendment a resolution to
the effect that as the vote of the Pres
byteries indicated a lack of unanimity
the entire subject be dismissed. Dr.
Dickey secured the floor on this amend
ment and made stirring address sup
porting the old confession. Rev. DR..
Herrick johnson and Rev. DR.. Samuel
J. Niccolls aroused the unbounded en-
thusiasm of the audience by their bril-
liant presentation of the revision fac
tons reason for desiring a change.
Rev. DR.. George T. Purves spoke
against revision, as did Rev. DR.. George
D. Baker. DR.. McKibben favored a
modified change. There are 25O COM
missioners committed to dismissal, but
they have expressed themselves as open
to conviction.

Called for Tonight.

Glasgow, May 23.-The making of a
new mast and gaff for the Shamrock
II. was begun to-day.
Southampton, May 23.--At a confer
ence of his constructors and advisers
held this evening on board the Erin, Sir
Thomas Upton told the gentlemen that
he was determined to go ahead with
the Shamrock III. and left 1t to them to
decide how this could best be done. Mr..
Watson, the designer of the Shamrock
H., Mr.. Ratsey, the sail maker, Mr..
Wand, manager for the Dennys, the
builders of the yacht, Captain Syca-
more, her skipper, and Messrs. Hilliard
and Ure, amateur yachtsmen who have
been sailing on board the Shamrock H.,
were present.
After long discussion 1t was agreed
to cable the New York Yacht club,
asking that the date of the contest be
postponed until the first week in Oc-
tober in order to allow time for the
necessary repairs. This extension will
give the Dennys and Mr.. Ratsey time
to do their parts of the work. 1t was
decided to lose no time, but to go ahead
under full pressure while awaiting a
reply from the New York Yacht club as
to whether the postponment would be
granted.
Sir Thomas expressed himself as eX-
tremely sorry at being forced to make
any request upsetting the arrangements
already made but he was left with only
the hull of his yacht Without this ex-
re ti,,,a ha hn tot
able to bring over his boat in anything
Ike godo form and he said he sincerely
hoped his request would be granted.
Speaking of the improvements in
Shamrock Sir Thomas said he had no
doubt that this yacht had much i'm
proved since she sailed in American
waters, and that he felt perfectly GER
tain that she was far from being as
good a boat as the challenger. The
latter, he said, had been improving
daily, although he now had only
bare hull, without a stick over her, he
was satisfied that on her re-appearance
the challenger would justify his conf
dence in her
Sir Thomas has received dozens of
cables of sympathy from the United
States and hundreds of similar tele-
grams from all parts of Great Britain.
Thomas W. Lawson cabled to Sir |
Thomas his deepest regret at the acci-
dent and his heartfelt congratulations
that all on board had escaped He
hoped that America would not be de-
prived of seeing the Shamrocks this
season, but if it were impossible to
bring them over he expressed his will
ingness to take the Independence over
to England and race either or both Of
the Shamrocks in British waters. Sir
Thomas replied to this message ex-
pressing his gratitude at Mr.. Lawson's |
kind telegram and generous offer, |
which he thoroughly appreciated, but |
he said he was going over with the new
Shamrock and If an opportunity offer
ed he would be delighted to race the |
Independence in American waters.
Commodore Ledyard of the New
York Yacht club and Mr.. Griscom,
president of the American line of
are among those who sent |
to Sir Thomas.
