New York. May 25.-The general
assembly Of the Presbyterian church
has adopted the report OF the commit
toe on creed revision making changes
in the Confession Of Faith. This ac-
tIon which was practically unanimous,
was taken with little or no donate.
The changes proposed viii now 80 10

last Friday n motion for its adoption
was made at once but the vote was
deferred. As was TO be expected the
prospect OF an interesting deha'e Oh
creed revision attracted a crowd Wilieh
filled the galleries solidly ana Wheh

commissioners were occupied III once.

tiOns, and those who wished to make
the change by separate declaratory
statements. Obviously there had to be
some yielding and it was not all on one
side
THE misapprehensions as to the
confession" continued DR.. Minton,
have come from two causes, first, the
unguarded statements in the cOnfes-
sion itself, and, second, unwarranted
differences from the confession. In the
first cases verbal changes would be
the remedy. In the second. declama-
tory statements were necessary"
DIR. Minton then took up the various
points on which the committee had
been asked to pass.
Regarding the pope of Rome" he
said, the confession distinctly says
the pope is the anti-Christ and the son
of perdition. Now If that was true and
If We want to say it-lct 1t stand. II
not true, or If true and We do not wish
to say 1t, take it out.
Believes the Pope Is Antichrist.
Il may believe that the pope is anti
Christ on general principles. | am
quite willing to declare in the face of
the Vatican, or the whole world for
that matter. that the pope, using the
crown rights of Jesus Christ, is arti-
! Christ and the son of perdition. The
committee followed the only proper
, course to pursue by broadening the
statement"
DR.. Minton resented the accusation
brought that the Presbyterian church
believed in infant damnation.
THE critics and enemies Of the Pres
| byterian church have rolled 1t under
| their tongues as a sweet morsel thai

Close Estimate on Receipts and
Expenditures for Entire
Year.

WASHINGTON, July 1.-The comparative
annual statement OF the receipts and ex-
penditures of the United States, Issued by
the secretary Of the treasury today. shows
that for the fiscal year ended June 80, 1902,
the total receipts amounted to 1853, 405, 1877,
as against $685., 6s5, 1857 for the fiscal year
ended June 80. 1901. The total expenditures
for the year Just closed were san, 2oe, cal,
as against $500, 967. 1853 for the fiscal year
ended June 30, 1901. The surplus for the
year just closed is 500, 1915. 900.
On November 1, 1901, Secretary Gage es-
timated the expenditures for the year at
&472, 900, 900. which was only $3.50. S5e in ex-
cess of the actual figures. He also esti-
mated the receipts at 1872, 900, 900, which
was SS,594.s13 below the estimate. This
difference. however. was due to the loss
Of internal revenue receipts as the direct
result Of the revenue act of April 10, 1909,
which amounted to about 49, O0, 900. This
reduction could not have been anticipated,
as the act was passed after the estimates
were sent to congress. But for this reduc-
ton the surplus for the year Just closed
would have been almost exactly the amount
estimated eight months before. The accu-
racy of these estimates Is remarkable in
the history Of the Treasury department.
The receipts from the several sources
OF revenue are given as follows:
Customs. 1884, 456, 1927, increase as COM
pared with the fiscal year ended June 80,
1901, SIS, 1851, 900.
Internal revenue. &272, 500. PA. decrease
S34,431.
Miscellaneous. $685. .O4s, decrease, s4,-
474.O00.
The expenditures for the year are given
as follows:
Civil and miscellaneous, $11s, ass, 2O2, de-
crease, $4,000, 900.
War, $112, 216, $50, decrease. 1872, 900, 900.
Navy, $67, s5S. 500, increase, $1,000. 900.
Indians, $40, 049, 523, decrease, $s41, 900.
Pensions, S13S, ass, 1853, decrease, $3.50, 900.

MAY AFFECT TRANSPORTATION
Series of Strikes Threatened By
BoiIermakers and Machinists En-
terinR Chicago from West.

CHICAGO. July L.-Transportation in the
middle west may be seriously affected as
a result OF a series OF strikes threatened
by machipists and boilermakers employed
by every railroad entering Chicago from
the west. The first OF this series OF strikes
was called today when the 40 boiler
makers employed by the Chicago & North
western railroad were called out.
Before the week is over the machinists
employed by the road may follow them.
The strike of 100 machinists employed by
tho Baltimore & Ohio railroad at Garrett
Ind. is in progress rs we'll as the strike
of the boilermakers and machinists of the
Union Pacific.
The walkouts are the result of the re-
fusal Of the general managers Of the va
rious railroads to comply with demands
OF the machinlsts and boilermakers. These
same demands have been presented to
every western railroad entering Chicago
and to several of the eastern roads. In
case the railroads follow the example set
by those already approached the strike
Of the two trades will apparently assume
national proportions. The demands OF the
boilermakers relate principally to Increases
In wages. h men are now receiving 81
cents an hour. They ask IS cents an hour.
The machinists have presented a demand
for an increase Of 10 per sent in wages
and a reduction OF the working day from
ten to. nine hours. There are 600 ma
ohinisA employed by the Chicago a North
western. The Baltimore q Ohio machinists
are striking to prevent the adoption OF the
piecework system in departments where
Il is n1 in force and TO secure an advance
In wages from sans to SO a day.
Embarrassed as they are by the demands
of the maehinists and the b~oilermakers,
the general panagers of the Chicago rail-
roads have been given a breathing spell
by the failure Of the freight handlers "a
strike. President L. J. Curran OF the
freight handlers union had announced 9
strike for today. but az the last moment
changed his mind and decided to endeavoI
further Sto obtain a settlement. The de-
m8nds of the freight handlers were PLACED
In the hands OF the Chicago Federation Of
Labor. The executive board OF the Fed
