To be Declared in Presbyterian

Statement.

Also to Be Declared-committee viii
Recommend That the Chapters Az
lacking the Pope Be Dropped.
Meet in Washington.

Washington, April 10.-The Presby;
terrain committee on creed revision as
sembled here yesterday. The final
report on the subject is expected to
be adopted by the committee within
a week.
The committee accomplished con-
siderable work yesterday. finishing
up all features except that relating
to the brief statement Of doctrine.
Consideration of this statement will
occupy the committee during the re-
mainder Of the session here.
AS result of the work already
Zone overtures will be submitted to
the general assembly, which meets
in New York in May for action on the
declaratory statement with reference
to the third and tenth chapters Of
the confession. These relate to pre-
destination and election of infants.
The object is to remove misunder-
standings On these points by declar.
ing that the confession is not to be
understood as teaching that any chill
dreu who die in infancy are lost; also
that the confession is not to be un-
derstood as teaching that the provis-
ions of the Gospel and the offer made
by it is to be limited to a certain
number-that Christ died for all men,
nor is it to be understood as in any
way interfering with human liberty
and with the freedom of men.
An overture will be sent to the
general assembly dropping from the
text CT the confession the chapters
relating 20 the pope CT Rome, and
that it is sin in another to refuse
an oath when administered by right
full authority.

Such Talk as to West Virginia Miners
Situation.

Indianapolis, April 10.-The ma

Mine Workers, in session here, vii!
attempt to effect settlement in the
block coal district of Indiana with
out a strike. The board has arrived
at no decision regarding the situation
in West Virginia, but some of tie
members talked in a tone indicating
that strike may not be declared for
some time. The strike in Hopkins
county, KY, where nearly 5000 men
have been out for more than a year
is now being considered. The mine
owners have refused to recognize the
union, Ind the latter has succeeded
at a cost Of nearly 100000 in pre-
venting the mine owners from oper.
ating their properties.
The members of the board believe
the situation in the Clearfeld (Pa.)
district, where it is reported the
Rochester and Pittsburg Company in
tends to close down its mines in the
hope Of driving the organization out
is exaggerated.

announced that he was willing to
vote to overrule the chair in order
to support an amendment to take the
