Bristol, Tenn.-The adoption of a
resolution to appoint an ad interim
committee to prepare a brief popular
statement of the doctrines of the
church, which was adopted by a mar.
row majority and after a lively de,
bate, the passage of resolution to
appoint a committee to confer with
the United Presbyterian church on
the subject of a union with that or.
ganiZation, the report of the commit
tee on church societies, recommend
ing the appointment of a woman sec.
rotary, the consideration of a propos-
ed amendment to the elect infant
clause of the Confession of Faith, to
be submitted to the presbyteries and
the adoption of the minority report
of the committee on marriage and
divorce, refusing to submit to the
presbyteries the matter of a revision
of the confession in this respect, were
the principal doings of the general
assembly of the Southern Presbyte-
rian church.
The contest over the preparation of
popular statement embodying the
doctrines of the church was precipi-
tated by requests from missionaries
and overtures from the presbyteries
asking change on account of the
prejudice against the church, because
it is charged by its enemies with be-
lieving in infant damnation and pre-
destination of souls to hell
1t developed a fight between the
progressives and conservatives, and
the former, led by Wr. James l.
Vance of Nashville, won by vote of
SO to SO. Doctor Vance pleaded for
the assembly to put in twentieth cen
fury terms the truth of our confes-
sion"

Among the reports presented by

on substitutes for the personal tax. on

on the administration Of tax laws.
THE criticism we would make OF
the conference us that of failure to
unite on a broad plan of uniformity
of tax laws throughout the entire
country. for the taxation of certain
kinds and classes of taxable property
such as steamboats,, sailing vessels and
all other property of this nature, uni

than 10 per cent of its actual value.
1t appears to your representatives
there can be no sound argument or
valid reason why we should not have
II uniform law for the taxation of all
property Of this character throughout
| the entire country. and until this tax
conference recognizes and advocates
| laws along these lines il will have
failed to take the first steps toward
correcting many of the weaknesses and
| the source of common abuses in our
! lax laws. and one of the great en-
| harrassments that the assessors have
to contend with in their efforts TO per-
, form their very important duties"

BIGGEST GUN IN THE WORLD.
4s Feet 80 Inches Long at the Panama
Canal

The biggest gun in the world is
sixteen inch breech loading rifle de-
signed for the seacoast defense of the
, United States and its insular posses
sions, the first one completed being in
tended for the Panama canal. The
total length of the gun is 40 feet 20
inches 1t has diameter of 60 inches
at the breeeh, tapering to % inches at
the muzzle. Ii smokeless powder is
used. il is estimated that a full charge
of 576 pounds will throw projectile
weighing a4oo pounds 4 distance of
twenty-five miles. The projectle
prepared for the monster is five feet
four inches long, and it has been cal
culated that it would go through
steel plate 42.S inches thick, if the
plate was placed at the muZzle. The
total weight of this monster is $50 tons.
What would happen to vessel when
hit by one of its nroieetiles can only
he sllrmised. The French battleship
Liberte. which blew up recently, would
probably look like a slightly damaged
ship beside 1t. Other ritled guns of
large caliber heretofore constructed
are the Italian guns ealiber 1i.15
inches. the French gun OF lb.5 inches
caliber. and the Armstrong gun of 1926
inches caliber The greatest gun ever
built by the Krupps had a range of
twelve and one-haf miles. None OF
these compares in point of energy and
range with the newest American prod

SEA SALMON ON THE INCREASE.
Report of Commissioner Donahue of
Sea and Shore Fisheries.

",9he statistics of the sea and shore
fisheries department. says the report
OF Commissioner Donahue. show
that i'm III there was caught i'll the
waters Of the State where the ude
Gibbs and flows, III, 799 pounds of sal
mon This is the largest catch of this
variety OF fish for % years. The year
| 1901 was the next largest, when u.s.
| Ss1 pounds were caught: 1895 the
smallest with total of but S3,S69.
Years ago salmon we're plentiful in
all the rivers of this State but with
the advent of dams across the rivers,
without proper tishways and in some
cases without any fishway, the decline
commenced and was continued until
within the past few years there is a
marked increase. This change was no
doubt caused by the artificial propa-
CATION that is conducted by the FEEDER
al government at the hatchery At
East Orland. Several hundred of these
large. mature fish that are caught by
wejrs in the Penobscot and its trih-
utaries each year are purchased of the
veirmcn and taken to the hatchery
and held until conditions are right for
stripping. after which the eggs are
hdtC1eU ana the young are libVitNl'N III
the upper waters of the Penobscot. in
which shey thrive, above all dams and
distractions, ana from which they
eventually work down the river to the
ocean: and when they grow to the
producing age they return TO their
home in Penobseot waters. That the
work OF the hatchery is bearing fruit
is verified by the fact that of the A.
100 pounds of salmon caught in the
state in 1871. 9S,6S0 pounds were, caught
in the penebscot and its tributaries.
"Definite action should be taken at
once for the preservation and pfopa-
cation of this our most valuable spe-
cies of fish A thorough investigation
of cams and fishways should be made
on all OF the rivers of the State suit
able for salmon culture, and If defects
are found they should be remedied Ar
rangements should be made AT the
hatcheries and with the National Fish
Commission to re-stock several of our
rivers best adapted for this line Of
work and make it possible to have
good salmon fishing III our rivers,
thereby adding another attraction Tor
the summer tourist; as the sea salmon
as a game fish on a fly line are in a
class hy themselves. and any true
snort would not hesitate to give $40 Il
necessary to hook ono of these big fell
| lows on a fly line with an 1S-foot bam-
| boo rod at the Bangor or Calais pools,
