A NOTABLE RECEPTION.
President Given Quaint and Valuable
Presents by San Francisco
' Chlrwse.
8AN FRANCISCO, May 25. 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

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

total number of machinists in the or
ganization.
President O'Connell predicts an early
settlement with all manufacturers.

E. E. 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

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.
