LARGE SUMS DONATED.
Two Persons Give the Union Theo-
 logical Seminary $240,ooo.

New York, November 27.-The givers of the s240,000 to the Union Theological sem mary, following an announcement of it's attitude toward the Westminster confess sion of faith, are Morris K. Jessup and the widow of William Earl Dodge. Mrs. Dodge has pledged s120Oo0 for the estab- lishment Of a chair for applied Christi ianity, while MT. Jessup. who is diree- tor of the seminary, has given a like sum for the establishment of a professor ship of preaching.
 At the same meeting at which the amendment relating to the Westminster confession was adopted another amend ment, 1t is said. was proposed, providing that candidates for the faculty or diree- torate of the seminary shall be members of an evangelical church. This amend ment was deferred to the next meeting which will not take place probably until February.
 The Rev. Dr. James M Ladlow of Or ange, N. j., director in the seminary, today denied that the seminary had dis earded the Westminster confession of faith in any particular. The seminary, he said, had simply provided for greater hexibility in the matter of preaching The Rev. Dr. Thomas s. Hastings, pro- lessor of pastoral theology, and ex-presi- dent of the seminary, entered strong demurrer to the declaration, said to have been made by the Rev. Dr. David schaff, professor of church history at the Western Theological seminary. Ale gheny City, that the Union Theological seminary mas substituted a new creed of it's own. Dr. Hastings said that the re- moval of the provision requiring a sub mission to the confession by no means implied that the faculty thought less of the confession.

He served under Kit Carson as a soldier in many wars of New Mex leo, and in 1861 was commissioned major of the First New Mexico infantry by President Lincoln, and afterwards pro- noted to colonel.

May End Trade War.

St. Petersburg, November H.-As soon as the new Russo German treaty Is rati- fled Russia expects to open negotiations for the revision of commercial treaties with other powers.

Rus sia retaliated, imposing the maximum duty on American goods, practically end ing American importations and destroy ing the growing Russian market for American manufactured goods. The loss to American trade has been about $1o,- O00,000 annually.

PRESIDENT DOWNS
 COUSIN IN A BOUT
LIEUTENANT FoRTEscUE HAS NO SHOW AFTER PUTTING ON GLOVES WITH ROOSEVELT AT THE WHITE HOUSE.

New York. November a.-(speeial)-A Washington dispatch to the herald Is as follows:
 President Roosevelt and his cousin by marriage, Lieut.. Granville R. Fortescue, U. S. A, put on the gloves at the White House last Wednesday, and before they got through Fortescue was lying on the floor.
 President Roosevelt's fancy has again turned to thoughts of boxing It's more vigorous than anything else, and he re- joices in a stiff three rounds with i've ounce gloves. Lieutenant Forteseue was corporal in the Rough Riders, Is young gentleman of high spirits and good physique about the Presidents height and reach, but considerably lighter and quicker on his feet. He belongs to the Tenth cavalry, but Is on special duty at the White House now. He recently re- turned from a trip to the far east. He coached the President so thoroughly on Japan that Prince Fushima, the adopted brother of the Mikado, was amazed and gratified at the Presidents knowledge of the Chrysanthemum Empire
 When the president and Lieutenant Fortescue squared off the younger man started to cut out hot pace His leads were swift and straight and sometimes effective, but the president, doggedly standing his ground against the lieuten- ants rushes, sent in heavy counters. They mixed 1t up all over the room, and wound up the first round In slap-bang fashion. The honors were with the pres ident. All the details of the battle are not available, but 1t Is known that the next round was fast the president care- fully watching his adversary. Finally the president "got to him" He sent a couple of hot blows to the Lieutenant's s head and cut loose with another one. It was all over for the lieutenant. Whether he was entirely knocked out and uncon- scious cannot be learned but 1t Is fact that the mill ended with a good hard blow the president landed on his jaw Lieutenant Fortescue showed the marks Of punishment the next day, but they were slight not painful or serious.
