GOVERNOR TAFT is ILL.
Will Go to Now York to Submit to
Surgical Operation.

Washington, Feb. 10.-Governor
Taft took occasion. while testifying
before the senate committee on the
Philippines. to finally set at rest all
discussion involving his name for a
place in the presidents cabinet. The
governor said his attention had been
drawn repeatedly TO statements to the
effect that he would succeed Mr. Root
as secretary of war; and to other pub
lished gossip involving him in cabi-
net changes.
Governor Taft said that he had not
been offered cabinet position, and, SO
far as he knew, his name had never
been given consideration in this con-
nection by the president. 1t is hin
plan and determination to return to
the Philippines and resume his duties
as the head of the civil commission
there. Only an act of providence or
his own physical disability will pre-
vent him reaching Manila by May j
next.
The governor says he is not well.
Some weeks before sailing for the
United States he submitted to a surgi-
cal operation for rectal fistula. 1t
has not been entirely successful. To-
day he expects to go to New York
city. and will submit to another sur
gical operation. either there or in Gin
cinnati. If this proves successful he
will be confined to his bed for per-
haps two weeks. The governor said
he was moved to make this statement
because of the speculation which has
been INDUCED in as to his present con-
dition and plans.

OLD WORLD POLITICS.
Parliament Trying to Keep Out o
roversy-Coronation Talk.

London, Feb. 10.-Parliament contin-
ues to reflect the general opinion that
party strife is i'll adapted to the holiday
mood of coronation year and contro-
versial questions are avoided as bad
form. The opposition front bench has
repulsed the overtures of extreme rad
icals to raise a debate on Lansdowne's
reply to the Dutch note and closure was
sprung upon the harmless debating ex-
ercise of talking out the marriage to a
deceased wifes sister bill.
A fair start has been made toward
discussing the new rules of procedure,
and while the opposition is stronger
than was expected Mr.. Balfour has
made 1t plain that The government de-
sires to minister to the comfort and
of the house and will make
any changes which members desire.
While the debate may be prolonged a
fortnight or a month, there can be lit
tie bitterness when the ministers seem
barely half earnest and decline to take

ing that he was plainly an advocate of

little tilt In the legislature of that state
and Mr.. Roosevelt was asked what dis
position he would make of our bill
should 1t be passed, he replied that he
would not veto 1t.

THE GREED REVISION
The Presbyterian Committee ,7e-
cides Upon the Form Of De-
claratory Statement
Doctrine OF Damnation OF Infants
Is Revised..Eddyism in
Germany.
Kaiser Will Take Energetic Meas.
ures to Suppress It..Calls
II Swindling.

| Philadelphia, Pa, Feb. 10. - Ihe
Presbyterian committee on creed reVis-
ion has decided upon form of declara-
| tory statement on the third chapter OF
| the confession of faith. declaring that
the doctrine of predestination is held in
harmony with Gods love for all man
kind and that no man is condemned ex-
cept on the ground of his sin.
A declaratory statement with refer
ence to elect infants" also was
adopted, asserting that the Presbyte-
rian church does not teach that those
dying in infancy are lost, but that all
dying infants are included in the cleo
ton of grace.
THAT has always been the reason
and meaning of the word elect" said
DR.. Roberts, the secretary of the COM
mittee. Saturday. The adverse criu-
cism which the church has met for so
many years has been unfair. because 1t
has been ignorant. AS early as 1860
the Reformed Church of Scotland en-
tered it's protest in this matter and
ever since we have been teaching the
exact opposite Of that which we We're
charged with teaching. BY elect was
and is meant the election of Gods grace
and love. No act of man can of itself
save man or ehild-and that is the true
meaning, as our declaratory statement
now makes clear
This conclusion was reached after
Il - III
sion, and the members of the committee
stated Saturday night that 1t is unan-
imous declaration. and state what has
always been the doctrine of the Presby-
terrain church. The declaratory state
ment is merely an calculation Of certain
passages in the confession.
DR.. Roberts when asked regarding a
rumor that the section regarding in
fants was to be eliminated. declared
there was no ground for such d state
ment.
I'VE shall not even recommend a tex
tual revision of its text" he said. 1--WE
shall merely propose such an explana-
ton as that which has now been de-
cided upon"
The instructions under which the
by the general assembly of the church.
held in this city last May which, in
calling for a new statement, ordered
that "the said statement is to be pre-
pared with view to it's being employed
TO give information and betrer I'M
of our doctrinal beliefs, and
not with a view to Its becoming SUBJ
stitute or an alternative of our confess
sion of faith
The radical members of the assem-
bly,, who forced such action, held then,
and still affirm. that the statement now
In use is too long for daily use, and too
readily to be understood.
The conservative element strongly OPP
poses the adoption of new statement.
With these are to be numbered DIR.
Charles A. Dickey and DR.. William Nc
Kibben, both members OF the revision
each of whom will strive
hard to prevent any such action in the
general assembly to be held in New
York next May, when the report now
being prepared must be presented and
acted upon

BAN ON FAITH HEALERs.
Emperor Of Germany Opposing the
New Cult in His Domain


Berlin, Feb. 10.-Emperor William is
so incensed at the spiritualist move
ment that he has issued notification
thru the North German Gazette that
all persons In any way connected with
spiritualists. faith healers, Christian
Scientists, or kindred cults will here
after be rigidly excluded from the inn
perial court.
The Rev. Father Faber cathedral
chaplain and Superintendent of Morals
for Berlin, declares that the emperor
and he agreed on the necessity for
preventing the spread of Christian
Science. Neither of them supposed it
possible to deal with the matter in the
courts of law, but both We're determ-
1ned TO use their moral influence in
their respective spheres to put 1t
down.
"Eddyism," as Christian Science is
called here. is the sensation of the mo-
ment. The comic papers caricature 1t,
the weighty religious periodical mar
shall polemics against 1t, and the daily
press prints much descriptive matter
regarding what Is called the latest
American Importation saying 1t was
only brought here after 1t had been
worn out in the United States"
Emperor Williams conference with
DR.. Faber. superintendent of the
churches in the Berlin Jurisdiction.
and Herr Won Windheim, the police
president. as to what steps shall be
taken has alarmed the Christian
Scientists. but nothing has yet been
done against them, except the with
drawal from certain public halls of the
necessary permission to open meet
ings.
On Friday evening meeting was
prevented thru public notice posted
on the door. The managers of the
Christian Science campaign are try
ing to secure a building owned by
Americans, thinking that in this case
the police are less likely to interfere.
The enthusiasts welcome the public
excitement. averring that 1t gives
Christian Science an impetus
The newspapers say Emperor Will
liam intends to take energetic meas
ure against all forms of faith healing
practiced for money, and insist that
the fees charged for healing amount to
swindling. The leaders of the Chris
tian Science crusade are selling Mrs.
Eddys book for twenty marks
The evening papers printed further
details regarding Emperor Williams
talk about "Eddyism." Herr Won
Windheim says he found his Majesty
thoroughly informed about the, matter.
The emperor expressed strong disap-
probation of prayer healing, but
agreed that Herr Won Windheim must
make no martyrs.

GIGANTIC RAILWAY COMBINE.
The Street Car Lines of Many Cite.
to be Merged.

New York. Feb. 10.-All Indication:
point to gigantic street railway inerg
err, embracing the best traction proper
cities and in it's scope, the amount OF
capital to be involved and the number
of great financiers interested, far over
shadowing any other industrial enter
prise ever undertaken.
| Behind this gigantic undertaking are
an, Gary. Marshall Field, Foerderer and
Mack This proposed traction monopo-
| ly would operate all the street car lines
of all the principal cities of the United
States. The combination will be eff
fected by the Whitney Elkins- Wide
| ner Ryan syndicate of New York and
Philadelphia. Companies in the follow
ing cities are already being negotiated
| with: Washington. Baltimore. Chica-
| go, st. Louis and Detroit. Cleveland
and Cincinnati are practically in the
deal. which will also include Philadel-
phia and New York.
| 1t will be remembered that Chicago
was represented at the Widener dinner
| by Norman B. Ream, E. II. Gary and
Mar;h II Field. These three men hold
| a big interest in the Chicago traction
companies. and on their return home
carried with them the terms of an offer
to be submitted to President John NJ.
| Roach, of the Chicago Union Traction
Company, and the various traction lines
within the city, Chicago aims to have
transportation facilities second to none
in the world. This is promised by the
syndicate which Is planning the ma
tional concern.
The idea of the combine originated
in the mind of Thomas Dolan, president
of the United Gas Improvement Com
pany, of Philadelphia. who suggested
the feasibility of such project along
the lines pursued by his company in
acquiring gas plans. 1t was decided at
the Widener dinner in Philadelphia
that the Morgan syndicate would take
over the bonds of the Philadelphia
companies, including the elevated
roads.
In Chicago all of the railway sys-
TENS will be taken over. President John
NJ. Roach. of the Chicago Union Trac
ton Company; General Counsel w
Gurley and James H. Eckels. a direc
tor, all have been in New York recent
~. in consultation with the heads of the
Whitney Widener- Elkins syndicate re-
garding the state of Chicago traction
affairs. There is good authority for
the statement that the Widener- Elkins
syndicate has been making overtures to
the Cleveland banks for possession or
control of the immense Everett Moore
properties in Cleveland, and similar ne
gotiations are known to have been con-
sidered concerning the Detroit traction
interests.
Altho the Washington system is in
the hands of receiver. those in control
are looking fayorably upon the propo-
sitlon. 1t is also the reported intention
to obtain control OF the Capital Trac
ton Company, the independent concern
in Washington.
