A YL WASHINGTON, Feb. 14.—The events in connection with the sale of the old New | York Custom-house to the Natlonal City Bank occupied the center of the stage during the debate on the sundry civil ap- propriation bill in the House to-day. Much attended the debate. McRae Arkansas raised the issue with a mo- 1 to strike out the appropriation for the Custom-house, and with this motion as a basis Jones of nched a fierce attack upon the manner nces of the sale and the s which he clalmed the bank e transaction.

His center sho: a letter written by Rep- hardsen of Tennessee in a Tennessee bank. McRae's amendment lost on a strict arty vote, and another amendment, of- ovide that the lered by Richardson, to pri rent should mot be paid until the title to the old Custom-house passed from the Government to the bank failed on a tie vote. e JUDICTAL APPOINTMENTS TO THE PHILIPPINES | C.

The first to respond was a lady whose liberality toward the church is well known, but who declines to have her name men- tioned in connection with her gizts. She donated a window about fif- teen feet in height and three and a half feet in breadth. It consists of a base and canopy In the Ital- fan style, besides the center plece. The subject is the apparition of Our Lady of Lourdes to the pehs- ant girl in the grotto. The fig- ure of the Virgin is beautifully de- signed and the expression of coun- tenance wonderfully sympathetic. The colors of the robes and acces- sorles are literally as described by the girl to whom the vislon was vouchsafed. The kneeling figure of the peasant, clothed in homely garb, is both lifelike and graceful. The coloring is in the highest de- gree harmonious. The execution is fully equal to European methods. Father Kenna has glven consid- erable attention to the quality of the work of local artists and de- cided that the window was in ev- ery respect the equal of any pro- duced in Munich or elsewhere on the Continent. The cost of the window is about $1000, e el bl el | j % : % | | ; @riiieieimimieeeiel e sfe slnfeiniminleivlalnl@ URGES REVISION OF CONFESSION Presbyterian Committee Has Completed Report to the Assembly. = WASHINGTON, Feb. 14.—The Presbyte- rian committee which has been consider- ing the revision of the Westminster Con- fession of Faith to-day completed its rec- ommendations to the General Assembly. The committee has unanimously agreed that some change in the credal statement is necessary, but is divided as to the char- acter of this change, and majority and minority reports will be presented to the General Assembly. There were thirteen of the sixteen mem- bers present and a majority agreed to rec- ommend that a change should be made by a supplemental explanatory statement to cover certain points in the confession of faith, and also to include statements as to the doctrines of the Holy Spirit, miss slons and the love of God for all men. The report of the minority will recom- mend a supplementary statement of doc- trine without being restricted to specific and limited points In the confession, but in entire harmony with the system of doc- trine contained in' the creed. The com- mittee has adjourned sine die and no fur- ther meetings are anticipated before the session of the General Assembly next May, when it probably will be dissolved. —_— HOW AMERICANS _ CAN HELP BOERS Plan to Advertise the True Condition of the War in South Africa. &S Direct Interference Not Possible, but Efforts Will Be Made to Make Britain See the Strife Should Cease. NEW YORK, Feb. 14.~Under the head- ing, “How Americans Can Help ths Boers,” a communication has been sent to every dally paper in the United States by the executive committee of the Transvaal League of the Eastern States. This com- mittee consists of Willlam G. Davies, Theodore M. Banta, Frederic J. de Peys- ter, H. H. de Vos, Howard C. Hillegas, Edward Lauterbach, W. Lorin Andrews, E. Reeve Merritt, John V. L. Pruyn and Killaen Van Rensselaer. It claims to be pro-Boer without being anti-British, and to be divided equally in membership a3 between Republicans and Democrats. Realizing that direct interference in the South African struggle is not within the province of the American Government, thig committee is of the opinion that tha eople of this country can do what the B ernment cannot do. It desires in any case to remove the impression which pre- vails in England that Americans view with indifference the threatened exter- mination of the citizens of the two South African republics: and the means to this end, which the committes of the leagus has adopted are certainly novel. The fol- lowing statement has been issued by the committee: i We are convinced that a very large number ot people in this country, if they only knew how, would gladly help the Boers in their struggle for freedom. Heretofore the question with most of us has been: What can we do to help them? lc opinion in favor of justice and peace in | South Africa. It is_evident that so vast are the resources of the British empire in compari- son with those of the South African Republics that unless the history of our own war of in- dependence soon repeats Itself in this case, to the point at which the majority of the British people concluded that there was neither gain nor glory in its contiruance, the republics might, in the course of time, become tempo- rarily exhausted. The sooner, then, that the British people can be brought to- the point which they reached In their war with us, the better it will be for them, for South Africa and for the whole world. | ‘With this end in view, it becomes of the ut- | most importance to evoke such ag expression of popular feeling in the United States that the people of Great Britain, Ireland and the Brit- ish Coloples will be made to realise at last that the large majority of Americans look with extreme disfavor upon the continued slaughter and threatened extermination of the citizens of the Bouth African Republic and Orange Free Btate. The British people have been deceived In re- gard to public sentiment here, They have been bt to belleve that they have the moral sup- port of America In their dealings with the Boers, and Mr. Chamberlain’s claim that some scrt of an alllance had been entered into by him with this country—a claim immediately rejected by the administration here—was made in order to foster this erroneous belief. The majority of the English newspapers are so bitterly anti-Boer that they do not publish news that might open the eyes of their readers on this subject; they know that ‘‘the man in the street,”” upon whose support Mr. Chamber- lein depends, feels that in Europe he stands amoeng enemies, and is, therefore, not only avxious to conciliate and to preserve the good | opinfon of the Americans, but would be shocked to learn that the action of his Gov- ernment had already alienated, and threatens 10 allenate still further, much of the fricndly feeling for Great Britain which at one time "existed In this country. ‘We purpose to administer that shock, so far | | | | | as possible, by crystallizing the pro-Boer sym- | rathy of the majority of Americans and by taking steps to bring the result—in the torm of @ brief protest—to the notice of the British people. This, in our opinion, will do mdve than anything else could do at this time to shake | | the blind confldence of many Englishmen in tho righteousness of their cause. A number of prominent residents of the Eastern States have already signed the protest. As soon as a sufficlent number of signatures to It has been obtained we intend to insert the protest ds an advertisement in the leading Lritish newspapers and to leave it standing 83 lon; beneat! as our funds permit, with a statement giving the number who have signed it and such names from among them as are likely to be known in England. | This is the only way known to us by which the American people can show practically their admiration for the gallant struggle of the South African burghers and for the great | principles for which the burghers fight. | @piieiriimlmffulnlel e e dnfeimimiminle -l @ MANY MILLIONS FOR CARNEGIE To Be Paid $25,000,000 as the Result of the Recent Morgan Deal. e PITTSBURG, Feb. 14.—The Pittsburg Leader to-day says: Each day is bring- ing to light some new feature of the Car- negle-Morgan deal. It became positively known to-day that the extent of the pro- posed consolidation, by means of the om- nibus company that is to be formed, is greater even than has been talked about. In addition to the steel companies it will | combine the vast lake and ore interests | of John D. Rockefeller. The vast ore| properties of the Minnesota Iron Mining Company and the American Mining Com- pany will be consolidated. It is practi- | cally settled now that the American Steel and Wire Company will be included in the merger in addition to the eight steel com- panies named. NEW YORK, Feb. 14.—The Evening | Post says: According to a trade author- ity, the following list includes all the com- pantes approached in connection with the pending Carnegie-Morgan deal: The Car- negle, Federal and National Steel compa- nies, the American Tinplate, Steel Hoop and Sheet Steel companies; the American Bridge Company, the National Tube Com- pany, the American Steel and Wire Com- pany’ and the Rockefeller ore and trans- portation interests. It is sald that when the participation of such of these companies has been deter- mined and has been accepted by the re- epective boards of directors, circulars will be fssued announcing the terms and in- viting stockholders to exchange their se- curities. The valuations will be close, ac- cording tg/this remrt,bind the capital of m the new ny will'be in the neighbor- hood of 000. The minority of stock- holders of Carnegle Steel C it is stated, will be given 30 per cent of the new preferred stock and 5 per cent | of common. The only important cash item amounts to between $20.000,000 and $25,000,- 000, which, it is sald, will be pald over t Andrew Carnegie some time to-day.

CARSON, Nev., Feb. 14—In the Senate this afternoon Senate concurrent resolu- tion No. 11, known as the lottery bill, came up for final action. The bill has caused more lobbying from both points than any measure yet presented In ths Legislature. - Most of the afternoon was: spent in arguing the matter, which finally went to vote with a result'of the defeat of the measure of ten ogainst to three in favor.
