SUBMITS ADVERSE REPORT.
Superintendent Of Insurance Opposes
A Code Amendment.

Mr.. Thomas E. Drake, the District super
intendent OF insurance, has submitted an
adverse report to the District Commission
ers on House bill 1O5Ss, amending the Dis
trict code in certain of It's provisions relat-
ing to insurance agents and companies do
ing business in the District OF Columbia.
Commissioner Macfarland. who has super
vision Of the insurance department, has
recommended to his associates that Mr..
brakes report be adopted as the report OF
the Commissioners to the House District
committee.
81 have carefully examined the amen
datory features Of the BILL, says Mr..
Drake. "and find that 1t contains certain
parts Of the statutes that We're repealed
when the code Of law became effective.
January 1. 1902. The object OF the pro-
posed amendment is to reduce the tax on
premium receipts and license fees to
agents. as well as to enlarge the scope OF
authority to solicitors and brokers': all OF
which. think, at this time. would be in
expedient.
81 have also made comparison of the tax
charges on premium receipts, license fees
and qualifying charges to companies that
are made by the various state insurance de-
partments. and upon the whole, find like
charges, that are to be made under the
code of law Of the District Of Columbia,
less than the average. In view OF thisir
the result would initiate against the inter
est of insurance companies, insurance
agents and policy holders.
''It would be impossible to enact q gem
eral law at one stroke that would be alto
gether just and equitable in its application
to ali kinds Of insurance. I have reason to
believe. however, as the insurance code be-
comes better understood by both companies
and agents, 1t will prove to be fairly salts
factory, and, until 1t Is at least tested. l
cannot consistently recommend the adop-
ton of the changes referred to In this bill"

EMPLOYMENT OF "oRDERLIEs. y
DR.. D. P. Hickling Reports Explana
tory of Estimates.

tory or E6t1mate0.
DIR. D. Percy Hickling, the visiting ply
sician of the Washington Asylum Hospital,
has submitted an extended report to the
Commissioners of the District with regard
to the estimate for the employing of six
"orderlies." or attendants. at the hospital.
which the board OF charities has recon-
mended to the Commissioners for an item
in the general deficiency bin to be intro
duced in Congress. The Commissioners
have decided to ask an appropriation sum
cient to employ six nurses at $25 per month.
as reported In The Star several days ago.
DIR. Hickling says that the duties OF an
orderly of q hospital ward are most tn
portant, and consist in handling bed pa
tients who are not seriously sick. also the
bathing of the same class OF patients, the
giving Of tub baths to male patients and
restraining delirious or unruly patients. as
well as to do the stretcher work OF the tn
the discipline OF the ward
DR.. Hickling says some Of the duties OF
the 'orderlies" are required to be per-
formed constantly during all hours Of the
day and night. The only provision made
at the present time for the performance OF
these duties is from the c0nvalescent pa.
tients, two OF whom receive $6 per month.
''It is needless to say" the physician con-
is badly performed and is source Of con-
stant trouble. Acts Of cruelty, excessive
Indulgence In alcohol and repeated acts OF
negligence and accidents often occur. from
all Of which, the patients suffer and from
which they should be protected. I there
fore recommend that six 'orderiieS be pro-
vided for. two for each male ward and two
appropriation be made Immediately avail
able. These men should receive at least
$25 per month and they should not sleep at
the Institution. This arrangement would
require about twelve hours duty from each
orderly and would give each building q
constant supervision and be OF great as
sistance to the work Of the hospital"

cH11EAN-ARaENT1NAB BOUNDARY
Minister Wilson's Report on th'
Agreement Adopted.

Agreement AQopteO.
The State Department has received from
United States Minister Wilson at Santiago.
Chile. report upon the progress of the
negotiations relative to the boundary be-
tween Chile and Argentina, He says:
1.-THE conference Of December II between
the Chilean minister OF foreign relations
and the Argentine minister in Chile resulted
in an absolute disagreement relative to the
occupation by Chilean police of districts in
habited by Chilean citizens. but within the
limits of the disputed territory. Further
efforts were made. however, to adjust mat
ters in an amicable way. and the time be-
tween the 18th and the 2lst was spent In
exchanging kilograms and notes. but with
out reaching = agreement. Upon the list
the Argentine = mister notified the Chilean
minister of foreign relations that he felt
that the resources OF diplomacy had been
exhausted. and that, as it appeared that he
was unable to contribute in any way to the
solution Of the differences. he would avail
himself of leave of absence and retire to
his own country leaving the legation In
charge of the secretary thereof. Upon the
following day. he made a formal farewell
visit to the president and to all the diplo-
matte corps. News Of this action soon
the paD of Se
Argentine minister produced a very awk-
ward situation as all the negotiations had
been carried on here; but the Chilean
entered into direct communication with the
Argentine government. through the Chilean
minister in Buenos Ayres. and upon the
oath the Argentine minister was instructed
to remain at his post. pending the result
of the new turn which had been given TO
the negotiations.
Upon the 25th. the Argentine minister
and the Chilean minister Of foreign rela-
tions met at the house Of the president the
department being closed and, after some
discussion. signed the protocols. thus bring
ing to an end a controversy which has oc
cupied the attention Of both governments
for two months and which has caused dam
age to both countries In the unsettlfng of
business and the disturbance of values
1.-The question Of the roads has been ter
minated by a declaration of the Chilean
minister Of foreign relations that the said
roads were opened up simply for the pur-
pose Of studying the disputed territory,
without admitting any act that might mean
an occupation OF the region through which
the arbitrator will have to draw the boun-
dairy line between the two countries. The
question Of the Seno de Ia Ultima Espe-
| rama has been terminated by an agree
ment on the part Of both governments to
maintain the situation which existed be-
| tween the two countries September 22.

CHANGES IN THE CREED.
Revision Committee at Work on q
Declaratory Sta tement.

A dispatch from Philadelphia last night
says: The creed committee of the Presby-
terian Church, now sitting in this city. dis
posed Of considerable work today, it COM
ing to a definite decision on several vital
points In the confession OF faith. The work
done is best summed up In the official state
ment given out by Dr. William II. Roberts
Of this city, the statistical clerk OF the
general assembly and secretary of the COM
mfttee 1t is as follows:
THE work, so far completed, provides
q declaratory statement for chapter fiji Of
the confession Of faith on predestination,
and also for chapter x. section 3. on elect
infants.
1.-The secretary. Dr. William H. Roberts.
repeats his statement that the American
Presbyterian Church does not teach that
any dying in infancy are lost.
''The committee. further. has agreed to
revision OF the text OF the confession in the
matter OF good works. chapter xvi. section
7; of its being a sin to refuse an oath.
chapter xxii, section 5. and also to the pope
being man of sin, chapter XIV. section u.
1T also adds to the confession two chap
ters. one on the Holy Spirit and the other
on the gospel"
In explanation Of the second paragraph OF
the above statement regarding Dr. Roberts
reiteration that the american Presbyte-
rian Church does not teach that any dying
in infancy are lost" he said that he had
made the first statement to that effect last
week, anu ludl SluCe lIlen he has TeceiNeO
many communications from clergymen. re-
1igiops newspaper editors and others as to
whether he had been correctly quoted. He
said that he had solicited the Individual
opinion Of each member of the committee.
and that they were all Of the opinion he
stated it.
The committee steadfastly refuses to give
out the text Of anything 1t has finally
passed upon. 1t made exception to that
pertaining to chapter xvi. section I. on
good works." This section Is as follows:
Works done by unregenerate man. al
though for the matter of that they may be
things which God commands, and IF good
views both to themselves and others; yet,
because they proceed not from q heart pu-
rifed by faith, nor are done In a right
manner, according to the Word; nor to a
right end. the glory Of God. they are. there
fore. sinful. and cannot please God. or
God. And yet their neglect Of them is more
sinful and displeasing unto God"
This section was revised by striking out
the words, "are therefore sinful. and
The committee did not intend to revise
the confession, but instead wanted to con-
fine itself to preparing a declaratory state
ment Of the faith. 1t was found. after an
to prepare a declaratory statement that
would intelligently explain the points in
volved would be a difficult task. and the
members finally agreed that q revision Of
the chapters under consideration would be
preferable.
The work Of the committee In now half
completed Tomorrow the consideration OF
a brief statement OF doctrine devoid OF
technicalities. for popular use. will be taken
this statement will take up the better part
of two days.
