CREED CHANGES FEW PREsBYTERIAN REVISION PRIN- CIPALLY BY DECLARATIONS
 STATEMENTS. Fatalism Not Indorsed-Integrity of the Doctrine of Foreordina-
 tion, However, is Not
 Affected.
New York Special to Chicago Record

 The committee charged by the Presby- terian Church with preparing revision of its creed naturally has tried to keep it's conclusions secret until officially re- ported to the general assembly. but the substance of the recommendations has is chapter III., relating to the eternal de- crees of God. This chapter contains the famous doctrines of predestination and generally understood to be the fundamental concepts of Calvinism. The third section is the essential one. It reads that by the decree of God. for the manifestation of his glory, some men and angels are predestined unto everlasting life and others foreordained to everlasting death.
 Mercy for All Men.
 This Chapter is to be revised. according to the committees recommendat tiOn. not by any alteration of the text. but by what churchmen call a "decamatory statement" This will be in effect foot note of explanations The footnote will not affect the integrity of the doctrine of forcordination, but will set forth that the mercy of God is extended to all men: that the Presbyterian. Church does not indorse any fatalistic doctrine.
 The phrase quoted assumes that the eternal decree of election was made be- fore men or angels were created to be electcd-the doctrine of supra lapssrian- ism. The order of the decrces' has long been subject of debate in the church, but the trend of sentiment in recent years has been against this doctrine that the decree of election was made before the fall of man. The declaratory statement. therefore. is understood to make an ut terance to the effect that the church does hold tos the doctrine of4suprs iapsarian- ism. The believer is left to interpret the chapter in any other way than he may choose.
 On "Infant Damnations." ? Chapter 10. section 5 is also to be re- vised by simple declaratory statement. This is the famous chapter that contains the section on infant damnation." In the confession the section under discus sion reads: Elect infants. dying i'll in- fancy are regenerated and save by Christ through the spirit who worketh when, where and how He ple2Ses. The decla- ratory statement which has been agreed upon merely states that the church does not hold that nonelect infants dying in infancy are damned.
 The committee has decided to revise the text of but three chapters of the con fession. The first of these is Chapter xvi. section '. relating to the doctrine of total depravity." The original sec ton reads:
 %Works done by unregeneratcd man, although for the matter of them they may he things which Cod commands and of good use, both to themselves and to others. yet. because they proceed not from heart purified by faith, nor are done in a right manner. according to tho word nor to right end. the glory of God, they are, therefore, sinful and can

not please God or make meet to receive grace from God"
 Good Works of Value.
 The revisionists recommend that the phraseology of this section shall be changed so that it may be stated that while the good works of unregeneratc men do not make for their eternal saliva tion they are of moral value, pleasing to God and place the unsaved man on the road to salvation. The original section was adopted by the Westminster conven- vention, as a protest against the Catholic doctrine, so persistent at the time, that a mans good works were a means of selyation-the doctrine of superogation.
 Chapter XIV, section 6, is to be revised by eliminating. portion of 1t. The sec tion reads at present:
 There is no other head of the church but the Lord Jesus Christ Nor can the Pope of Rome be in any sense the head thereof; but is that anti-Christ. that man of sin and son of perdition, that exalts himself in the church against Christ and all that is called God"
 Omits Mention of Pope.
 At the time the Westminster confession was adopted the Pope of Rome was making exceptionally vigorous preten- sions, and this sections was of value only at that time. The references to the Pope are to be left out of the revised con fession. the simple statement. There Is no other head of the church but the Lord Jesus Christ" being regarded as suf- ficient in the light of modern thought.
 Another section that Is to be omitted is Chapter xxxii., section g. The para graph now reads:
 "Whosoever, taketh an oath ought duly to consider the weightiness of so solemn act nH {harpiI n pNOIph nothing hnt what he is fully persuaded is the truth, Neither may any man bind himself by oath to anything but what is good and just and what he bclieveth so to be, and what he is able and resolved to perform.

Ne.r York Sun Special Ssrv5es
Chicago, Nov. 26.-Dainty muslin and
lace neckwear for men such as Thomas
Jefferson used to wear was advocated by
Mrs. Daniel M Lord at a melting of the
South Side Woman's club in Grand boule-
ward hall.
A Rembrandt hair cut also would tend
to make men more attractive, the speaker
thought. The Rembrandt style in hair
she believed would never be acceptable
to men, though it certainly was beautiful
and picturesque:
And now, right here, I would like to

band heard this bit Of my paper criticiz-

vent amen that I became hopeful for all
mankind"
The subject was Dress" beginning at
the time when Adam and Eve wore none,
and proceeding down to the present period.
women are more sensible to-day than
men, Mrs. Lord said. They wear prac-

have disca1 ded the tight corset. the hoop
skirt the disfguring hustle, and the use
less pantalette. And now turn to men S
dress. their unventilated hats, producing
badness and those terrible stiff shirts.
They should wear negtlgee shirts in bust

do no better than try to look as much as
possible like Thomas Jefferson, VINO was

Great Britain May Grant a Prefer

Canadian Wheat Territory to Be De.
veloped to the Highest Posi-
BILE Point.

Boston. Mass, Nov. 26.-F. F. Begg, a
leading member Of the London, Eng,
Chamber of Commerce, who is in Boston
as the, guest Of the Chamber Of Commerce,
stated to a correspondent that a plan has
been mapped out for opening Canadian
land to American settlers. so as to de-
Nelop Canadian wheat exports to the high
$est possible point. A total of at least
5;000:000 acres will be opened up. The
dominion government will build railroads
to bring these wheat fields within reach of
the Liverpool market. Some 100000 more
acres will be offered to British farmers.
Then will come the granting of a pref
erential tariff on Canadian wheat, which
has been finally promised to the dominion
by the British government, through the
influence of the London Chamber of Com
merce, which has brought tremendous
pressure to bear upon the British officials.
The preferential tariff for Canada will
be made the param issue in United
Kingdom politics next year, when the vast
projects Of the dominion government are
fully brought before the people. and the
lands thrown open to settlement have
their mighty wheat crops.

JOHNSON LED BOTH
He Captured a Majority Of Dele
gates in the Second and
Ninth Districts.
Pabcock Writes a Letter Attempting
i. to Offset Charges of Enmity
to Administration.

Johnson captured a majority Of both
the second and ninth districts yesterday,
but as anticipated. they did not enforce
the unit rule.
The presence OF insurgent members
from Hennepin and anti-administration
! leaders did not appear to have much in
fuence on the assembled legislators.
The vote at the ninth district caucus
was seven for Johnson, five for Babcock,
with one missing and claimed for Bah
cock. The friends Of both candidates
were allowed to present their case, after
which the members went into secret ses-
sion and took a vote.
The second district caucus resulted in
six pledges for Johnson from among those
present, only two holding Off. OF the two
absentees, Mork of Faribault is anti-Bab-
, cock. and will undoubtedly come in line
for Johnson.
The Johnson pledge was signed by Ny
quist, Norman, Wilder, s. D. Peterson,
Schroeder and jacobson. Hinton was the
only man voting for Ba bcocl1 in the eau
Gus, and Wilson Of Mobiles refused tC
commit himself. The six Johnson men
at the caucus wired their candidate
promising their votes. They did so after
hearing from Dr. Babcock, who was pres
emit
These caucu5-s give Johnson a positive
strength larger than Babcock's, with a
certainty that the anti Babcock votes will
center on him. Up to this time the fight
has been anti Babcock, with possibility
that a dark horse would be selected, as
only the fifth and seventh were definitely
pledged to Johnson. Now it becomes ap-
parent that Johnson is the favorite and
can be elected by the anti Babcock votes

ALL UP In THE AIR
The Sudden Ending of the Strike
Negotiations Was Surprise =.
to Everyone.
The Commission Will Now Continue
It's Hearings to the
End.

Washington, Nov. 26.-All prospects for
an understanding between the United
Mine workers and the coal operators out
side the anthracite coal strike came to a
sudden termination late yesterday through
the receipt of dispatch to Wayne Mac
Veagh. representing the Pennsylvania
Coal company and the Hillside Coal and
Iron company, notifying, him that at
meeting of the anthracite coal roads men
in New York it had been decided not to
grant an interview with Mr.. Mitchell and
his associates which had been suggested
for Friday next. ~
The announcement. coming as it did
after an all-day conference between Mr..
MavVeagh and Mr.. Mitchell and his asso-
ciates in this city, completely surprised
every one here. The proposal for a meet
ing Friday was made at the instance Of
Mr.. MacVeagh, who was no less surprised
than Mr.. Mitchell himself at the turn
affairs took. From statements made by
Mr.. Darrow during the day the impression
had spread that complete agreement had
been arranged. but last evening Mr.. Oar
row read a statement to the newspaper
men which made it clear that no agree
ment had been reached and that none
was likely.
Mr. Mitchell, when shown the dispatch
regarding the conference with the oper-
ators, simply smiled and said he had not
expected the conference, but when it was
asked of him if such a conference would
be desirable, he replied that it would.
Mr.. barrow said he would return at
once to Scranton and would be prepared
to appear before the commission next
Tuesday and go on with the hearing.
