UNANIMOUS IN THE REPORT Committe for Rev. 1 Completes on of the Con- on of Faith, WASHINGTON, April 17.~The Presby- terian confession of faith revision commit- tee comploted its labors today and ad- journed. The committee asreed unani- mously upon a report to be made to the 'General Assembly, which meets in New York May 25. The members reserved the right to differ upon minor matters In the ‘report to be. made to the assembly. but the final report, an authorized statement says, was unanimous and hearty. ‘The dif- ferences refer entirely to the aquestion of phraseclogy and do not apply to that of principle or doctrine. As finally de- termined upon this brief statement is to contain sixteen articles as follows: th—Our Lord Jesus Christ, inth—Falth and repentance. ‘enth—Holy spirit. leventh—The new birth and the new Tmlflh—'l'hn resurrection and the life to *Phirteenth—The law of God. nkh—-'l‘hn chureh and llcrlmen(! th—The last Jud, th—Christlan se: triumph. The committee also was charged with the work of the revision of the confession of faith by the preparation of a declara- tory statement defining the meaning of cer- tain portions of the confession. This ft ture of its labors had been completed at previous sessions of the committee and was finally reviewed and unanimously agreed upon here. ‘The declaratory statement deals with chapters 3 and 10 of the confession. the former referring to the eternal decrees of God and the latter known as the elect in- fant clause; also with that portion of the confesslon relating to good works, which ‘was revised by a ¢hange in the text.

WASHINGTON, April 17.—~The recent policy of the postoffice department in ex- cluding publications from the second class Ivileges under new rulings designed o correct alleged abuses, was the cause of seven injunction suits being filed today against Postmaster General Paype, to re- store the second-class rate to the publica- tions of the petitioners. The sults were filed separately In the district supreme court and the court issued a restraining order on the postmaster general returnable April 2. The complaints allege that the depart- mwent makes no charge that the publica- tions do not co with the requirements of the federal laws defining second-class wall matter, but threatens to exclude on the alleged ground that the literary merit of the publications is beneath an arbitrarily fixed standard by which “‘the defendant soeks to lmpose a literary censorship over the press and on the alleged fact that the lists of subscribers are not lexitimate Decause they have been to some extent. recelved by means of so-oalled premiums and other Inducements. consideration of all of which is, manifestly, beyond the power and scope of the authority vested in the defendant.

Reports Story of Torture. He repeated the story of the torture of the presidente, adding some detalls. The man was, he sald, about 40 yeare of age. When he was taken into the convent he was asked to give Information as to whether runners had been sent out to notify the in- surgents of the arrival of the scouts in the town. Refusing to do this, the water de- tall, conslsting of two privates of the Elgtheenth infantry, was ordered by Cap- tain Glenn to strip him. The man's cloth- ing was removed above the waist and his hands tied behind him, when the cure was administered by this detall. “He was then,” the witness sald, “taken to the water tank and thrown upon his back, and while an interpreter stood over him a stream of water was directed into his mouth, which was held open.” v the command for this treat- “Captain Glenn.” “How was the man's mouth kept open?” “By means of a stick, but I could not see just how it was done.” Continuing, the Wwitness sald that when the victim of the cure was filled with water the memberd of the detall would force it out of him by -olling thelr fists over his stomach, and that the process w kept up for about ten minutes. He described the second application of the cure, as previously testified to and corrobo- rated Sergeant Riley in the statement that the details of this performance were under the charge of Contract Surgeon Lyons and that Captain Glenn and Lieutenant Conger were both present when it occurred.

Mr. Davis sald in reply to questions as to the physical effect of the process that the | man “squealed” terribly and that bls eyes were bloodshot, but that the next day he was able to mount his horde and lead the acouts to the mountain. = Afterward he was. the witness sald, taken, {o Tloflo and placed n_prison. The witness also repeated the statement that two police officers. of the town of Igbaras had been subjected to the water eure. ““There was,” he added, “also a ni tive gchool teacher there who was mal treated at the same time, but the water was taken into ome of the back rooms of the convent by Dr. Lyons, who secured the information he wanted ftom him by plaeing two Colt’s revolvers to his head, thus ren- dering “it unnecessary to administer the “Did you see this?" “I did.” Mr. Davis also gave the detalls of the burning of the town of Igbaras, which, he waild, contained about 10,000 people, but no business place.

He added tbat the presidente had been a traitor to the American cause and that the other natives did not generally seem to have any symipathy for him. Mr. Davis sald he had been in charge of a detachment of ffteen men iu the town of Igbarak for several months before the arrival of the regulare and also for some time afterward, and that he had never had any trouble whatever with the natives. He talked with the regular soldiers about the water cure and bad beem given to understand that its administration was not of rare occur- of persons or places. He Lodge that he knew of the murder of sev~ eral of the members of Company F of his regiment by natives at another pofat, but it bad been his understanding tbat they were killed by ladrones rather than by the town suthortties, as Colonel Dickman had re- ported.

MUTUAL RESERVE IS OLD LINE After Successful Examination by New York Insurance Department It Reincorporates. NEW YORK, April 17.—(Special Tele- gram.)—Yesterday afternoon at Albany the Mutal Reserve Fund Life Assoclation of New York received -its charter as an old- line company. ~Under Its new title. “Mutual serve Life Insurance Comvany.” the organization now is a purely mutual insurance institution, incorporated under the legal reserve statute of New York. The examination by the New. York Insur- ance department preliminary to granting the right of re-incorporation has occupled three months. The condition of the com- pany was determined from the standpoint of Its ability to comply with the require- ments of the statute governing legal re- serve companle The result of a most careful and thorough examination under- taken by the department shows that the company possesses a surplus in excess of all Habilities, including the full statutory re- serve of about $500,000. The ipsurance de- partment’ increases the value of the real estate holdings beyond. the estimate of the company.. At the beginning of the ‘examingtion the management asked of the deparfment ‘the utmost strictness of inquiry into its affairs and this course was rigidly adhered to. Superintendent Hendricks, 1s satisfied that the company is amply able to comply with all require- ments of the law for re-incorporation as a legal reserve, or old-line mutual life in- surance company. On this showing the charter was granted yesterday afternoon and now the Mutual Reserve Life Insur- ance company takes its place as the third largest purely mutual life insurance com- pany of New York. President Frederick A. Burbam bhas thus fulfilled his pledge to the policy holders of placing the Mutual Reserve under regular law without depriv- ing the policy holders of any part of their ownership in the institution. The Mutual Reserve Life Insurance company begins its new. career prosperously. Founded in 1881 is has within a period of twenty-one years paid in death claims to its members $60,000,000. It bas thousands of members in practically every state of the union and its interests in Europe are Important. Meteor er Side.

New York, Ty Ph Brooklyn, 2; Bosto: Pittaburg, 1; St. Lol Chileago, 6; Cineln Wednesday's little breathless experience with the collegians from the University ot Nebraska had put “Pa's Pets" on their guard and they were careful to win the game without any eleven-inning complica- tions, so irksome to men not yet in the best of condition. A score of G to 2, how- ever, which was practically a duplicate of its 2 to 1 predecessor, is good evidence that the business at Vinton street park yester- day was a matter of base ball from the start. Though the 'varsity men did not make quite the showing of Wednesday aft- ernoon, their work remalned eminently sat- isfactory, and the game was one of inte interest all the way. Fast, snappy ball was the order of the day. It was marred only by the fatal wild- ness of some of the students, too eager in the earlier innings to repeat the perform- ances of the previous day. Reckless throw- ing, however, constituted the major portion of the colleglate mistakes and later o the game the amateurs steadied down in great style. Hitting was even more closely restricted than the first day. The leaguers made eight off Bobby Gaines, just the number they poled off Leatherby Thursday. The students meanwhile were put up against a double battery proposition and falled to find the combination of Risley and Graham 80 easy as Owen alone had been. Six hits was their quota, to which fact may be t- tributed their fallure to score more. Risley in Fine Form. Risley threw a handsome game while he remained In the box. He was as steady as a clock, never giving a base on any ac- count. Graham was Dot, quite up to his last Sunday's trim and passed out free firsts with some liberality. This habit of his gave the ‘varsity boys their only two runs in the last inning, and it looked for a minute that they would make it 3 to 4. Thirdbaseman Hickey donned his batting clothes for the first time thls seagon and he looked good to the crowd with a pair of hits, one a two-bagger. It was almost the first time, too, that the fans have had a chance to see him run a base, but he says he intends to circle them constantly her after. Burg was also hitting, but that's nothing so0 new. Omaha played a very clean game all the time, Hickey's one error being due to haste rather than incapacity. The score = Burg, If.
