Among the many notable Inddenta of President McKlnley's stay In thU city was a visit last night by Chinese Consul General Ho Yow and the presidents of the Six Companies. They were dressed In their official robes and presented a daixllng arrav of color. They presented the president an aJdress and presents val ued at $2000. The address was wr:ttn In Ink on Imperial yellow silk, the doc ument b'lng 17.24 Inches In diameter. It w-as embroidered with one thousand pearls and Is a superb specimen of Chi nese work. It was made In Canton and arrived here two days ago on the Amer ica Maru. The cover containing the address Is also made of silk and Is em broldered In gold threads. The address Is a testimonial in ap preclatlon of President McKlnley's poli cy toward China, and likens the at tltude of the United States to "a hero. extending Its trusty and powerful arms and voice to protect its exhausted and Innocent friend China." The Chinese delegation then present ed the president with a beautiful pair of silk nortlerres, thickly embroidered with gold thread and fringe, the cur tains being valued at $1000. A gold In cense burner and other gold ornaments, worth $201, were also presented to the chief executive.

MAJORITY REPORT VI n J AIU1 1 Jul Another Step Towards Revision of Confession of Faith. WHAT REPORT RECOMMENDS Committee laslmcted to Prepare Brief Sa nirjr of Reformed Faltb No Ac tloi Takes oa Elect Is fast" Claasc. PHILADELPHIA, May 23. The Pres. byterlan general assembly today took another step toward revising the confes sion of faith by rejecting the minority report, which had been offered as a substitute for the majority report. The vote was 271 to 224. The reoommenda tlon is as follows: "We recommend that the committee be instruct! to prepare a brief sum mary of reformed faith, bearing the same relation to the confession which the shorter catch!sm bears to the larg er catechism and formed on the general model of the concensus creed prepared for the ar?neral assembly of 1892 or the articles of faith of the Presbyterian churMi of England, both of which doc uments are appended to the commit tee's report and submitted to the as sembly to be referred to the commit tee appointed." With the consent of the assembly, the motion was changed so that a vote was taken on the question of striking out the recommendation from the majority report Instead of accepting the minority report as a substitute. "ELECT INFANT" CLAUSE. Reisons of Committee Why No Action Should Bo Taken. LITTLE ROCK. Ark., may 25. The Southern Presbyterian general assem bly has passed upon majority and m!n ority reports from the special commit tee on the "elect Infant" clause. The majority report which was adopted re- clnJs the order of the last general as sembly to print in every edition of the confeskm of faith thereafter an explan atory foot note regarding Infants dy ing In Infancy, but the report states that this section is In no way to be taken as to modifying the answer made to the overtures In the last assembly The report as adopted recommends that no action be taken on the "elect Infant" clause for the following rea sons: 1 Becau It is unwise to initiate at this time the agitation of this question among the people. 2. Because no modification that does not eliminate scriptural Calvinism from this section of the confession will Ob- vlate the objection which comes from Armenia sources. J. Because the Westminster confes sion of faith Is the first great creed which Haught the salvation of tnfants dvW in infancy on truly scriptural grounds. 4. Because the confession of faith In this section does not teach the damna tlon of any Infant dying In infancy, for the reason that the contrast made In It Is not between elect and non-elect infants dying in Infancy but between elect persons who die in Infancy and eiiv nersons who do not die In In fancy. 5. Because while we have a well- grounded hope founded on Scripture that all Infants dying In infancy are saved, yet the confession of faith goes as far as the Scriptures Justify a post- tive statement upon the subject. The minority report recommended that the following be sent down to the Presbyteries for their concurrence: "That section three, chapter ten. t the confeslon of faith be amended by adding the words noth1ng tn this sec- tlon shall be understood a-s holding or teaching the possibility of the damna tion of an infant dying in infancy. Our church does not hold nor never has held such doctrines.' " NUMEBR OF STRIKERS. PITTSBURG. May 25. President Jas. O'Connell. of the International Associa tion of Machinists, who was here to day, said 24,000 machinists are on strike throughout the country, while 52,000 have returned to work.

Daly Found Dead With Bullet Hole In His Head. MARSHFIELD, Ore., May 25.-One Of the most atrocious murders ever com- mltited In Southern Oregon has jusi come to light by the discovery of the body of E. E. Daly, of Blackwell, Ok- tahoma. The body was unearthed near Ooqullle City, and from the bullet hole In the head It Is evident that the man was murdered. Robbery was the mo tive for the terrible crime. Some days ago Jesse McQuIgg, who along the railroad tra k saw a man dig ging In the brush. Demlng the ac tions of the man suspicious, he mention ed tht. matrpr tr rhn authorities with the result that Investigation was made. The research of the officers resulted In the discovery of the body which had been burled at the spot where the man had been seen digging. A bullet hole In the head vlalnly donated the man ner In which Daly came o his death. Daly came to this section from Black- well some months ago, and had been working for a farmer. Thursday last he was paid off, receiving $L0. No money was found on the body and the officers are satisfied that Daly was killed and robbed. It la thought that the Identity of the murderer Is known, and a vigorous search for him has been commenced. The affair has created great excitement, as Daly was well liked, and should the murderer be captured he may be severe ly handled. HARVARD THE VICTOR.
