ROBERT MACKENZIE | RESIGNS HIS PASTORATE Rev, Dr. Robert Mackenzie, pastor of the | First Presbyterian Church, in a letter re- | celved recently by the session of his church, announced his_determination to | retire from the pulpit. In this letter Rev. | Dr. Mackenzie, who is traveling in Egypt, said that while he had experienced a great improvement in health while abroad, he | did not feel that he would ever recover his health sufficiently to permit him to re- sume his duties as. pastor of the church. | Hence he asked that his resignation be | accepted, to take effect on June 1. | Though the session and many members | of the congregation hove that Rev. Dr. | Mackenzie may yet be persuaded to with- draw his resignation, there is expressed in | the letter the venerable minister's deter- | mination to never again return to the pul- it. The church people find consolation, | however, in the fact that Rev, Dr. Mac- | kenzie announces that he will not give up his duties as professor at the San Anselmo Seminary and states that he will continue his work there upon his return from abroad. Rev. William Kent Guthrie, Rev. Dr. Mackenzie's assistant, will probably suc- ceed him to the pastorate of the church. Whether this move will follow Rev. Dr, Mackenzie's resignation none will state, however. At Rev. Dr. Mackenzie's home jand also at the residence of Rev. Mr. Guthrie no one would assume competency to verify either the resignation of Rev. Dr. Mackenzie or the rumor that Rev. Mr. Guthrie will succeed him, Nevertheless, both are generally accepted by the con- gregation as facts. BRITON FAVORS THE NEUTRALITY Accept a Canal Treaty. LONDON, April 26.—No definite decision has yet been reached by the Foreign Office’ here regarding the probable atti- tude of the United States Senate toward the projected Nicaragua canal treaty. The negotlations proceeding on the sub- ject of the Hay-Pauncefote treaty in this connection are understood to be based on the sine qua non of the neutrality of the canal. ‘ 3 If this can be definitely assured' it now seems likely Great Britain will agree to abrogate the Clayton-Bulwer treaty, though there is still the possibility of an endeavor on the part of Great Britain to simultaneously bring up the Alaskan boundary matter. This last contingency is officlally described as being merely a question of policy, not very likely to be pursued if the United States is content to make the canal neutral. WASHINGTON, April 26.—The adminis- tration has succeeded in securing a col- lection of opinions from the leaders of the Sen=te of all political parties upon which to base negotiations for a new isthmian canal treaty to replace the Hay-Paunce- fote treaty. In other words, it is awarg of the wishes of most of the Senators and the only problem before the State Depart- ment IS to frame a treaty that will reflect i thelr views, insuring a two-thirds vote for ratification and yet shall be acceptable to the British Government. If, as reported from London, the sine qua non is on a neu- trality clause, officials here feel that suc- cess on this point seems within reach. It is expected that two drafts of the treaty will be framed before long, probably the latter part of June, on Mr. Hay's return from the West. It is hardly expected, however, that final results will be attained before next autumn, after the return of Lord Pauncefote from London. BALDWIN IS PREPARING FOR THE ARCTIC SEARCH Leader of the New—Ammm Expedi- tion Inspects Supplies for the Polar Party. HAMBURG, April 26.—Evlyn B.

Privy Couricllor Neumanir is aiding Bald- win in every way gonlble. He has pre- sented him with the latest polar maps, drawn by Dr. Nansen. Later Baldwin went to Kiel to compare notes with the members of the German Antaretic expedition. CANALS MAY BE BUILT IN AUSTRIAN DISTRICTS - Government Asks the Reichsrath to Authorize the Expenditure of an Immense Amount. VIENNA, April 26.—The imperial Gov- ernment has submitted to the Relichsrath a bill authorizing the construction of four canals in the Danube, Moldau, Elbe and Vistula districts. The work of cohstruc- tion is to begin in 1904, and will be com- leted in 1924. Two hundred and fifty mil- | ion kroner at-4 per cent are to be bor- rowed before 1912 and further funds for the construction of these four canals will be borrowed when necessary. 3 ¥ rection of Excelsior Lodge No. 6 of the .

BERLIN, April 26.—The National Zei- tung prints a Russian special correspon- dence which contains another version of the letter Count Leo Tolstoi, on April 10, addressed to the Czar and cabinet. The letter protested against the system of forcibly suppressing intellectual and po- litical progress and counseled the libera- tion of the peasants from despotic treat- ment, the removal of ali barriers to en- lightenment and the free profession of any faith. The letter concludes: ““This appeal have I, Leo Tolstol, writ- ten, not as a jersonal conviction, but as the conviction of milllons belonging to Russian intelligence.” he correspondent asserts that the let- ter has made the deepest impression throughout Russia. The Cologne Volks Zeitung prints a St. Petersburg special which says the uni- versity situation has suddenly grown worse. From Moscow University word has been given to persist in passive oppo- sition until all the sentenced students have been pardoned. The Vorwaerts publishes a joint protest from the proleturiat to the world, bearing the signatures of the leaders of the social- istic movement, {ncluding’ those of the United States, dated from Brussels, against the brutalities of Czarism. % STEAMSHIP NEW YORK HAS A BROKEN SHAFT American Liner Meets With an Acci- dent at Sea, but Refuses Aid.

S SRR DECLARE THE POLE STOLE THEIR SECRET French Officials Learn That Their Captive Spy Was at Commentary Gun Factory. PARIS, April 26.—The spy who has been arrested here on a charge of having com- municated to Herr Krupp the secret of the manufacture of guns at the Com- mentary Arms factory is a Pole named Ivanovitz. He was a head waiter at the Hotel Chatham in Paris.

OMAHA, April 26.—B. K. Munshaw, who lives near the Melrose Hill house, was the first witness called this morning on the trial of James Callahan in the Cudahy kidnaping case. He identified the picture of Crowe as that of a man Who came to his house about three weeks before the kidnaping and wanted to know who owned the Schneiderwind house. Munshaw said he told him, and the man came back later and said he nhad rented it and paid $1 down and would pay the balance when he moved in the following Monday. Munshaw testified that he saw Crowe there on the ‘day before the kidnaping and talked with him again, and the latter said he would move in the next Monday. Munshaw added that on the night of the kidnaping the dogs barked late in the evening and he went out by the well and saw a buggy or spring wagon drive past and draw up to the steps of the Schneider- wind house. He was down hill from there and the parites were outlined against the sky. The night was dark, but he could see the outlines. He saw what he thought was two men £0 up the steps and into the house, and he thought the parties were moving in some of their goods. Pat Crowe Is Seen. Crowe, Munshaw testified, was accom- anied by a woman when he called the Rrst time in o buggy and inquired about the house. Detective Savage was recalled. He tes- tified that he talked witn Callahan at Fourteenth and Douglas streets about three weeks before he was arrested. Cal- lahan claimed that he was galnfi to work switching for the Chicago, St. Paul, Min- neapolis and Omaha road on the follow- ing morning. They talked about the kid- naping and Callahan expressed his bellef of Crowe's innocence and said he had taken Crowe with him to his sister’s house and introduced Crowe to her as Mr. John- son. This Callahan said was just after the Northwestern train robbery, when Mrs. Kelly was living in Council Bluffs.

The returns also indicate a desire upon the part of many presbyteries for some revision of the present confessioh, especiaily In chapter 3, chapter 10, section 3; chapter 18, section 7; chapter 22, section 3; chapter %, section 8 with additional statement concerning the love of God for all men, and for all missions. In view of these facts we recommend that a com- mission as provided by the form of govern- ment, chapter 23. section 3, be appointed by this assembly. We recommend that this com- | mittee be instructed to prepare a brief sum- mary of the reformed faith, bearing the same relation to the confession which the shorter catechism bears to the larger catechism and formed upon the general model of ns sus creed prepared for the assembly of 18 or the “‘Articles of Faith'® of the Presbyterian church of England, both of which documents are appended to the committee's report and submitted to the assembly, to be referred to the committee that may be appointed. This summary is not to be a substitute for fhe confession and s not to affect the terms of subscription, but ‘‘to. vindicate and clear the dootrines of the chureh from all false as- persions and misconceptions,” to give a better understanding of what is surely believed and is in no semse to impair but antong w the in- is rather 'to manifest and maintain tegrity of the reformed faith.
