HUXTIKG FOE A DEMOCKAT "Who Will Vote to Clear Boyer, Fail in? Which There Will Be a DECISION OP SO JURISDICTION. Senator Koss Makes an Able Exposition of the Constitution. .SENSATIONAL MOTES HIOBABLE TO-DAY rrito v a STjirr cohbespoxdext.i Hareisborg, Nov. 10. Unless the Be publican Senators induce one or more Demo crats to vote with them in declaring thatState Treasurer Boyer is not guilty enough to be removed from his office the Senatorial in quiry will, within 48 hours, be abandoned on the ground that the Senate has no juris diction. The Itcpublicans are becoming depernte to-night. The 29 Senator.! on the majority side have not hesitated to say that the 131 members of the Constitutional Convention, comprising many of the brightest minds of the State, among them Judge Black, George "V. Biddle, Charles R. Buckalew, John G. Hall and Andrew G. Curtin 'were ignorant dunce, and did not understand the English lansuoge, and that they spent nearly a year in framing a foundation for all fundamental and organic law that does not mean what it says or does not say what it means, but they arc just now sincerely alarmed at their own work and they are willing to change their plans rather than establish the danger ous precedent or trample under their feet the plain, distinct law of the State. About to Decide the Question. This morning an attempt was again made to force a vote on the question of jurisdiction when the Republicans fairly stampeded. They were positively afraid to vote. Senator Osborne, however, relieved them by moving a recess for dinner. "When the Senate con 's en ed strain at 3 o'clock they were prepared to talk the matter over, and the day was1 i consumed in that way. Senators Bates, McCreary, Henninger, Ropshure, Lloyd, Green, Boss and Gobin did the talking. The no jurisdiction theory was so completely riddled that the majority is now endeavoring to have some of the minority vote with them on the question of Boyer' s innocence by which they hope to avoid the unpopular position they had as sumed. Senator Boss made an eloquent speech. He reviewed the whole case carefully, arguing first that the Senate was legally as sembled. The subject matter under con sideration he contended is executive busi ness. He explained that part of the Con stitution bearing on the removal of officers, and said: The Power of the Senate. This grant of power-to ,this Senate vests in that body the inherent right to act, whether convened in extraordinary session, or met in regular session. The call of the Governor assembling the sonate in extraor dinary session, cannot vest in them or divest them of this power, which they derive from the Constitution, and which is always in them when once assembled, unless the Con stitution directs that it shall only be exer cised on certain occasions, or under certain conditions specifically mentioned in that instrument. No such limit item as to the exercise of this power can be found in the Constitution applying to a session of the Senate, the House not being convened at the same time. Removal upon the address of two-thirds of the Senate, whether the address is moved when the Senate is In extraordinary or or dinary session, is an alternative proceeding, comprehending all that is provided for by the impeachment proceeding, and much that is not within the purview of the pro ceedings by impeachment. In the proceed ing by address of two-thirds of tno Senate, there are three crand classes which may furnish reasonable cause for for removal: A failure of the officer to behave himself well while in office; a conviction for misbe havior in office; a conviction for any in famous crime. "Where Impeachment "Would Not Do. A public officer may be guilty of a felony, such as burglary, or a crime of less magni tude, not in any manner relating to the dis charce of hi' official duties. For such of fense he can't be tried in a high court of impeachment (and it is difficult to see how ho can be removed lrom his office excepting by address), but it is readily seen that sneu cause is at once within the inquiry involved In the removal by address. The Governor, therefore,where allegations are made affect ing the competency or fitness of an elected officer to remain in office, may, in his discre tion, elect to proceed in either mode that by address of the Senate alone or that by impeachment through both Houses of the Legislature. In conclusion, Senator Boss made an earnest plea for the Constitution. He marked the dangerous methods of the ma jority, and he askad them to preserve the law as it was given them. In response to Senator Boss, General Gobin argued that the right ot trial by jury had been taken from Mr. Boyer by the Sen ate, and that the Senate could only have jurisdiction after an officer had been tried by a jury and convicted of the crime for which he was tried. General Gobin was still talking when the Senate adjourned until 10 o'clock to-morrow morning. He vill resume lib. argument when the Senate convenes, and he will continue on the line of thought presented to-night. A Possible Sensation To-Day. It is asserted that lie will throwa startling brand into his own camp by asserting that Mr. Boyer's admissions would convict him in a court of justice, but until he is so con victed he cannot be removed by the Gover nor, nor can tho Senate address the Go -ernor recommending his removal. Thus finally will the question of jurisdiction be drau n. Gobin has introduced the follow ing: Whereas, the Senate of Pennsylvania hav- ing oeen convened in extraordinary session for Executive business on October 13, A. D., 1691, his Excellency, the Governor, did there upon transmit to this body his message wherein it appears that the business for which it w as convened as aforesaid was the investigation of certain charges of official misconduct fully set forth In said message against Henry K. Boyer, State Treasurer, atid Thomas McCamant, Auditor General, and against certain Magistrates of the city of Philadelphia with a view to addressing the Go ernor asking lor the removal of said officers; and Whereas, each of said accused officers ap pear and make answer den vine the Jurisdic tion of the Senate to investigate any. of then said charges and to address the Governor as aforesaid, for or by reason of anything in II said proclamation and message contained, I lrt !- .1 ; l. I - .. ., uisu, uuiiyuiguuiui auu. every uuc oi sniu charges; and Whereas, this, body having postponed the consideration of The Oaestion of Jurisdiction in the premises, did proceed to make a firtl anu complete investigation of said charges against Henry K. Boyer, State Treasuier, being assisted throughout its said investi gation by the Attorney General of the Com monwealth, and Whereas, The Senate has now heard full argument upon said question of jurisdiction and has fully considered the same; there fore, Kesolved, That as the said charges pre ferred Dv the Governor in manner aforesaid asainst the said officers aro charges of mis demeanor in office, for which said officers could be proceeded against both by im peachment and by indictment and it con victed thereof, in rithor of said ways could oo reinovpd, tlio Senate had no jurisdiction, under section 4 ot article 6 of the Constitu tion, in this proceeding, to inquire into, hear and determine said charges of official mis conduct, and to address the Governor ask ing for the removil ofsaid officers bv reason thereof, and thereby to deprive said officers orthe right or trial "by jury guaranteed to them under article 0, or to a trial in regular proceedings by impeachment in accordance im tedious l, - ana J oi aruuie w u mo Constitution. Keroieavote was taken on Mr. Gobin's lesolntion, Senator Koss offered the follow ing as a substitute: Wheieas, Tho testimony and evidence pro duced berore the Senate of Pennsylvania during the progress of the investigation as to tho official conduct of Henry K. Boyer, State Treasurer, in his management of his office and the performance of his official duties, discloses the following facts to be true: The Case Against Treasurer Boyer. . First That Henry K. Boyer, who has been State Treasurer of Pennsylvania since May, 1890, although acquainted with the manda tory provisions of the act of 6th of June, 1SS3, and amendments thereto, requiring the balances in the sinking fund to be used for the purchase of the loans of the Common wealth, or when not practicable, to secure them in United States bonds, has not in vested a dollar of these moneys in Govern ment bonds during his administration, Al though he has had, continually, an unin vested cash balance in the sinking fund of about $2 500 000. Second That Henry K. Boyer, while he was state Treasurer and a commisioner of the mUing fund, arranged with his cashier, WillLim Livsey, and with Deputy State School Superintendent John Q, Stewart, to have warrants for $420,000 drawn upon the State Treasurer before the close of the school appropriated one year for the sole purpose of preventing the amonnt of money lrom being paid into thx sinking fund as re quited by law; aud that, although the said warrants wore not paidorpresented for pay ment before January 2, 1891, they were charged upon the books of the Treasu-y and their amounts deducted from the balance of the general fund on December 31, 1890. Third That, although familiar with the law of May 7, 1SS9, requiring city and county tiea-ureis to make quarterly reports and payments of all moneys received by them tor tno uommonwealtb, the said Henry li. Boyer failed and neglected to enforce the provisions of the said act, and permitted .lohn llardslev. Treasurer of the city of Philadelphia, to retain in his hands after tho first Monday of October, 1890, large sums of money collected bv him for the Common wealth, and such .payments as are directed by the said act, and without any account or settlement, as provided by the said act, being sent to tho Attorney General for col lection, and without Interest or penalties being added, and without forfeiture or abatement of commissions, and in conse quence of these tacts a million of dollars or more has been lost. The Connection With Bardsley. Fourth That, although the actof June 1, 1SS9, regulating the collection or personal property taxes is in fall force and effect; and the said Henry it. .Boyer was acquainted with its provisions, he never enforced the provisions of the seventeentli section thereof, and permitted the Treasure! ot Philadelphia to retain in hfs hands the col lectlon ot personal property taxes made by him for 1S90 without any payment made on the first Monday of September, the second Monday of November, or until December 30, ISM, leaving still due and unpaid a large pro portion of said moneys to the State at the time Joh-i Bardsley went to jail, six months after the time fixed by law for their pay ment. Fifth That Henry K. Boyer, whiH acting as State Treasuier, has exercised his own judgment as to whether laws enacte for the management of his office and requiring certain duties for him are wise and practi cal and has declined to obey them or en force tbem, declaring as a reason therefore, that they did not meet his approval, and claiming the light to hold in disregard the provisions of the act of 1889, because, as he avers, the custom and practice in his office prior thereto was wholly different. Sixth That Henry K. Boyer failed to ex ercise proper supervision and control over his cashier. William Livsey, and that he is responsible for the acts of that officer, and, Whereas, These facts constitute reason able cause for , The Removal by the Governor of the said Henry K. Boyer from his office of State Treasurer, therefore Kesolved, That a committee of seven members of the Senate be appointed to pre pare and report to the Senate forthwith an address to His Excellency ths Governor recommending the removal by the Governor of Kenry K. Boyer from the office of State Treasurer. After a wrangle among the Senators and Mr. Penrose, who was acting as President pro tetn, the Boss substitute was ruled out of order. Then a .vote on General Gobin's resolution was ordered and it was then that the confusion became most intense and the Eepublicans became completely rattled. Thev were not yet ready to inmn into the sea before them, and it was decided ly amusing to watch them making dry faces at their own medicine. They will swallow the dose to-day, however, as they are not likely to; get a Democratic Senator who is willing to say that Mr. Boyer is not guilty of all the charges made against him by the Gov ernor.

Special' Henry Diffenbach, a fine looking, elderly man, with flowing black hair and beard streaked with grey, hobbled to the bar of the gen eral sessions, to-day, leaning heavily on a stout cane. He had been indicted for attempting suicide. A park policeman found him lying unconscious upon a bench in the ar bor in Central Park, on the afternoon of September 20. Blood was flowing from jagged cuts in his left wrist He was taken in an ambulance to the Presbyterian Hos pital. "When he recovered consciousness he said he had cut his wrist because he wanted to d e. "When asked what was his plea to the in dictment lie said: "I plead guilty." Then addressing Judge Martine, he said: "Your Honor, I want to tell vou my story. I was born in Germany and 1 am 59 years of age. I served during the war as a captain in the One Hundred and Eleventh . Pennsylvania Volunteers. About seven years ago I contracted the break-bone fever in Florida, and I suf fered tortures. I was never free irom pain, and I could not work regularly. In Jan uary I came North to apply for a pension. 1 was in great pain, and in my frenzy at tempted my life. I have relatives at Erie, and if you will let me go I swear I will never again attempt suicide." The old man was released and sent to Erie. A Juvenile Protest Against Blue Laws. Totjngstown, Nov. 10. Special The Council has passed an ordinance making it an offense for any child under the age of 14 to be found on the street after 9 p. m., un less accompanied by his parents or guardian. A largely-signed remonstrance against it was presented by young urchins who claimed their liberties would be .abridged, asking the city fathers to remember that "they were once kids and were not burdened, then b,y any blue laws." . PITTSBURG, WEDNESDAY, NOVEMBER 11, TWO STATES SECEDE. A Third on the Point of Throwing Off the Fonseca Yoke. THE DICTATOR ACTS WITH VIGOR. He Sends a Warship to Overawe the Re volted North of Brazil. AN EXILE TO LEAD THE REVOLUTION London, Nov. 10. At 7 p. m. a dispatch was received here from Pernambuco that the State of Grano Para lias declared its independence of the Brazilian Republic. The same dispatch brings further alarming intelligence regarding the situation. There is no doubt that the state of affairs arising out of the assumption of dictatorial powers by the late President of the Bepublic, Mar shal Deodoro da Fonseca, is rapidly ap proaching a point where a resort to arms will be necessary to establish the position of the Dictator. The dispatches of yesterday showed that there was a feeling of discontent prevailing everywhere throughout Brazil. The Ee publicans see in this last move of Fonseca's an attempt to override the authority vested in him by the Constitution. So strong has the opposition to him grown that yesterday it was announced that the important State of Rip Grande do Soul had declared its inde pendence. The dispatch just received shows that steps will have to be immediately taken to prevent, if possible, the disentegreation of the Bepublic. The State of Grano Para, which has followed the example of Bio Grande do Soul, is one of the most impor tant provinces of Brazil. The dispatch further states th-it the inde pendence movement will probably be fol lowed by a similar declaration by the State of Bahia. Dictator de Fonseca is moving rapidly to suppress these attempts to set up separate Governments, and he has ordered a warship to proceed without delay to Bio Grande do Soul to take such action as may be necessary to prevent the State authori ties from carrying their declaration of inde pendence into effect It behooves him to move with alacrity, for already a man has been named in connection with the contemplated Presidency of the State. He is Silvence Martinez, who, dur ing the last revolution was banished from the country. He was subsequently allowed to retnrn and he, without doubt is possessed greater political influence than any other man in the State. A dispatch from "Washington says: No news has been received at the Brazilian Le gation to indicate that the province of Bio Grande do Soul has seceded from the Bepub lic of Brazil or is in a state of revolt A cablegram has been received at the legation from the Minister of Foreign Affairs re lating to routine matters, but giving no hint of a revolution. IT WAS A TEBBLBXE 8T0BM. The Cyclone In India Results in a Fright ful Loss of tire. LondonvNov. 10, Further particulars .received to-day .from'Calcntfa. " show that the cyclone which swept over the Andaman Islands, a British convict settlement in the Bay of Bengal, caused much larger loss of life than was at first reported. In addition to the drowning of nearly all of the crew of H. M. S. Enterprise by which 78 out of 83 men lost their lives, it is now offici ally announced that the total loss of life is nany -w, ana that about 250 people were severely injured. The first approach of the cyclonic dis turbance was denoted by the deadly still ness which settled over the islands, and by the fact that the birds and animals seemed to be trembling with, fear, seeking shelter everywhere, and apparently having entirely lost their dread of man's approach. Then the air became oppressively hot and banks of dark black clouds began to gather on the eastern horizon, while in the distance could be heard the low rumbling of thun der, accompanied by flashes of lightning. It was at Port Blair that the greatest loss of life occurred, and it is believed here that when the final returns come in It will be found that considerably over 200, and pos sibly 300, were victims of the cyclone's fury, for the population of Port Blair, or Blair Station, is over 14,000 souls. Sud denly the fury of the storm seemed to be redoubled, and a wild burst of wind uprooted or broke in two great num bers 6f trees, unrooted many build ings, sent planks, small trees, clouds of foliage and even heavy beams whirling through the air, which by this time seemed to be charged with electricity and to be positively thick with oppressive, damp heat The guards did their utmost to release the imprisoned convicts, but during the awful sweep of the storm over the islands every iuuu, nuiuau mu cuiiu uau an tney could do to look after their own personal safety.

THE RECIPIENT PUBLISHES IT FOR THE FIRST TIME, To Refute the Charges or Treachery In the Boulogne Negotiations The De posed leader States the Terras on Which He "Would Relinquish the Chair manship. Dublin, Nov. 10. Williain O'Brien publishes a long letter in the Freeman's Journal, denouncing the conduct of Messrs. Redmond and Harrington in trying to de ceive the Irish public by pretending, on the strength of their hope that he had lost Mr. Parnell's letter; that it disclosed some dark treachery toward Mr. Parnell or their Liberal allies. Mr. O'Brien now gives tfte letter to the world, together with his own reply the only letter he wrote to Mr. Par nell during the Boulogne negotiation and not yet published. Mr. Parnell's letter to Mr. O'Brien re counts at length what had already been done, and as new proposal suggests that Mr. McCarthy interview Mr. Gladstone and, get a written memorandum, embodying as surances already given anent land and police; that if the memorandum was satis factory to both Mr. Parnell andMr.O'Brien the former would announce 'his retirement from the chairmanship; that the terms of the memorandum should not be disclosed until the home rule bill was introduced, and not then unless the bill was unsatisfactory, but that after the passage of a satisfactory bill Mr. Tarnell should be permitted to publish the memorandum. Instead of a two years' limit within which the constabu lary should be disarmed and converted into a civil force, Mr. Parnell agreed that the timemight be extended to five years, but he said it was of vital importance that some limit should be fixed. The letter, in con clusion, gives Mr. O'Brien permission to show it to the Bedmond brothers and Mr. Gill. Mr. O'Brien says that on receiving this letter he telegraphed it to Mr. Harrington, who replied thai Mr. Parnell's proposals were subject to Mr. O'Brien's accepting the chairmanship. At the same time Mr. O'Brien wrote to Mr. Parnell to the effect that the proposals were feasible, provided Mr. McCarthy continued as Chairman; otherwise, as the Hawarden plan involved the employment of Mr. McCarthy in a painful transaction, they would raise r. formidable difficulty. Mr. O'Brien con cludes with an expression of. the belief that they would be able to devise some other equally satisfactory plan. In a postcript he says he consulted Mr. Bedmond's bill, and all agreed that when they meet next May they will be able to arranee a modus Vivendi. Mr. O'Brien contends that the foregoing disposes of the Farnellite plea that Mr. Parnell's retirement was to be a sham, and that he was to have the right of veto in con nection with the home rule bill. TEE C00PEE-HEWIIT SALE. It Has JiotTet Taken Place, According to the Ex-Mayor. New York, Nov. 10. Special Ex- Mayor Abram S. Hewitt was this morning requested to make a statement concerning the oft-reported sale of the iron properties ot Cooper, Hewitt & Co. to an English or Anglo-American syndicate. He replied; "The statement of Mri.j.Cooper hag been published, and it cont&ins all that is -to be said on the subject What has been pub lished in excess of that statement is un authorized conjecture. "We have not sold our iron properties, we have not contracted to sell them, and we are not .trying to sell them abroad. We have wished to sellthem for the last two years, and they have during tnai time Deen ior sale to anybody who should pay the stipulated price. Anybody who pays the price can have them now. An American gentleman, entirely responsible, has negotiated with us for the purchase of the properties, w e Enow him alone in the negotiations, and the properties are his (or anybody's) when our terms are accepted. There is no reason why this gentleman's name should be mentioned; it is a private affair. "It has been stated that my nephew, Charles E. Hewitt, would remain in the re ported company as the representative of in terests retained by us. My nephew is an engineer, and doubtless would be pleased to be in the employ of the new company suc ceeding us, but his connection with that company would not be as our representative for it is our purpose, if we sell at all, to sell outright and sever all relations with the business. It is one of our conditions of sale that we shall retain no interest and retire from all participation in the management. Among the misstatements made in the press is that I, a few weeks since, denied any knowledge ofan intended sale. "What I said was that no sale had been made." PBESIDENT ALLEN TALES. He Thinks the Defunct Corry Bank Will Fay Its Depositors in Full. Cokry, Nov. 10. Special A Dis patch correspondent was to-dy granted the first interview with President T. A. Allen, of the defunct First National Bank, who has been suffering from a severe case of nervous prostration. When asked why the bank had closed, he said: "On account of the overdue paper.'' He could not state the amount of liabilities or assets, as no statement had been made to him. He said, however, the deposits were not far from ?570,000. The President said: "If the right man is appointed receiver and handles affairs judi ciously, aud finds nearly all the paper there collectible, the depositors will get .100 per cent and the stockholders from 25 to 50 per cent of the stock. The amount of the paper held by the bank against the Forest Com pany, Blue Jay and Corry, and the Baker and Hammond & Company lnmber compa nies is only 515,000." These companies have immense resources and are sound.

Badly Wounded in Seven Places and Left by the Indians to Die. "HE HAS NEYER BEEN EIDDEX SIXCE srrClAL TrLTORAU to tiib nupvrcit.' Kansas City, Nov. 10. Word has been received here of the death of Comanche, the most celebrated horse in the United States cavalry service; which occurred at Fort Bilcy. Ho was 45 years of age, and the only living thing belonging to the Unite States service which escaped death at the battle of Little Big Horn, where Gen eral Custer and his command were mas sacred. He was one of the original mount, ot the Seventh Cavalry when that regiment was organized in 18GC, and had been in almost every battle in'the Indian service. After the battle of Little Big Horn he was found covered with wounds, riderless aud saddleless, some distance from the scene of the massacre. He was taken charge of by Captain Bowlan and sent to Ft Biley, where for 14 years he has not been subject to bridle and has been in charge of the Seventh Cavalry. His death was dne to old age. His skin will be stuffed and mounted and kept in the museum of the Kansas State University until the World's Fair at Chi cago, where it will be taken 'for exhibition. Not Given Pp to Showmen. Enterprising showmen have from time to time endeavored to secure Comanche for ex hibition purposes, but the authorities have invariably refused to disturb his well earned rest. Comanche was the horse of Cap tain Keogh, a relative of General Custer. He was found about a day's journey from the scene of the battle, and the -soldiers who recognized in the well-known horse of Captain Keogh the sole snrvivor of the Custer massacre never expected that they could get him back to camp alive, for he had seven bad wounds and was very weak from loss of blood. With good treatment, however, he fully recovered. Special provision was made for the care and support of Comanche. Once in awhile, when the cavalry troops were on inspection, Comanche was led out, saddled and bridled, but no one ever sat in his saddle alter the battle of the Little Big Horn. It has long been said that after Comanche's death his skin would be prepared and sent to the National Museum at Washington, and there is little doubt but that will be its ultimate destination. Used as a Bulwark for Bullets. It will be remembered that Custer's ill fated command used the dead bodies of their horses, killed by the shower of Indian bullets, as a barricade as far as possible. All the horses were saddled, as the troop had ridden into the valley and attacked the Sioux camp; and as Comanche was stripped of his accoutrements, it has always been supposed that his saddle and bridle were taken by the victorious Indians, who, be lievine that he would die of his wounds, turned him loose. The body of every other horse that car ried the cavalry into battle on that fateful morning was found among the heaps of the slain soldiers. - -',, -,CL0SE CALL ON'REVISION. THE BBOOKT.TN PRESBTTERT'S VOTE ON IT 18 TO 1. More Sweeping Cltanges Recommended Than Those of the General Assembly's Committee Minority Vote in Favor of a New Creed or Radical Revision. New York, Nov. 10-Spectal. The committee of the Brooklyn Presbytery ap pointed last October to consider the pro posed revision of the Westminster Confes sion presented its report at the November meeting of the Presbytery, yesterday. It was very similar to that read by Dr. Van Dyke, before the NewYork Presbytery at the same time. The Brooklyn committee recommends more sweeping changes than the General Assembly premised. Re garding chapter iii., Section 7, which in the original confession contains the harsh doctrine of pretention and the ordaining of certain mankind to dishonor and wrath for their sins, the committee said in its re port: "We think that with advantage, and without at all impairing the validity of our reformed or Calvinistic system, the section as changed by the General Assem bly's Committee might be put in milder form. All essential to that system, as far as the subject matter is concerned, is that some of mankind are left to the righteous consequences of their sins, and this result is part of the divine plan." Bev. Dr. J. G. Butler was for striking out the section entirely, which he did not be lieve belonged to any confession. The doc trine of pretention was nowhere to be found in the Bible. Bev. Dr. David McLaren wanted to go on record, too, as opposed to the doctrine ot pretention, and several oth ers made similar declarations. Several members of the Presbytery said they did not believe a revision on which all could unite was possible,, and urged the adoption of a new and simple creed in its place. Bev. Dr. B. D. Sproull said he had believed in the possibilities of revision a year ago, but he felt that the work of the General As sembly's Committee was really a failure. The confession simply could not be revised acceptably, and that 'if that was so, what was the use of keeping on? He wanted a creed so broad that Presbyterians, Metho dists and Congregationalists alike could stand on it. The committee's substitute was finally adopted, by the close vote of 18 to 14, all those desiring anew creed or in favor of a more radical revision voting in the nega tive. On motion of Dr. McLaren, section C of chapter iii, which restricts saving grace to the elect, was stricken out. There was con siderable discussion on the good works of the unregenerated, but the section was finally left as the General Assembly's Com mittee had revised it. The rest of the com mittee's report, proposing a number of minor changes was adopted by the Presbytery. THE BEDSTONE E0B BEVISION. Rev. Mr. Jordon to Be Fastor of the Mt Oliver Presbyterian Church. West Newton, Nov. 10. Special To-day the first session was held of the Bed stone Presbytery. The important topic be fore the Presbytery was the report of the committee on the revision of the Confession of Faith, in compliance with the require ments of the General Assembly. For some time the Bedstone body had been opposed to revision in any manner, but at the ses sions this afternoon and evening a full vote was recorded in favor of several changes. A committee of prominent members was appointed to make a visit to McKeesport and investigate the advisability of estab lishing a second church there and to report at the next meeting of the Presbytery. Bev. J. C. Meloy.pastorof the local church, was unanimously voted tqattend the next meeting of the fteneral Assembly as a reD- "i"trii-4jfjhr.

For a Time It Looked as Though the Town Would Be Wiped Out Streams of Burn ing Oil The Extent of the Destruction. McDonald was again visited by fire early this morning, and it looked for some time as though the entire middle and lower portion of the town would be consumed. At 12:30 o'clock one of the tanks belonging to the Butler well took' fire from a lantern. The fire spread rapidly and communi cated with the Bntler well. When the tank burst it ran down the creek and com municated with Sauters No. 1, and then S. S. John's house occupied by Mr. Shay. It then caught the People's Gas Company's well on Johns' lot, and next William George's house and stable, occu pied by Mr. Wilson" The fire burned very fiercely, aftd at 3 A. sr. was not yet extinguished. Unless something not looked 'for hap pens there will be no further damage. Several oil lines are in the creek, and one of these might burst at any minute, and would certainly play sad h'ayoc with surrounding propertv. The. loss will be considerable, but the amount, could not be learned. STUABT B0BSON IK A SEW BOLE. He .Becomes the Husband of His Leading Lady, May Waldron. New YORK, Nov. 10.

ONLY A FEW CHANGES AEB SUGGESTED Dr. Joseph H. Bausman, of Bochester has been cleared of heresy. -The Allegheny" Presbytery, in session yesterday at the North Presbyterian Church, Allegheny, de cided not to 'make any change in the pastoral relations in his church. He was only cautioned to keep closer to the faith. The body also decided against a revision of the faith except in a few minor details. The morning session was taken up in a dis cussion of the order in which business should be taken up. The report of the Committee on Bevision was first read. The discussion was confined to the technical points almost exclusively. It the middle of Key. J. L. Milligjn offered the followiDg ".ution: esolved, That we feel constrained to re- jrate onr solemn and deliberate judgment that the present attempt to revise the Con fession or Faith is most inexpedient and dangerous. We say this not to depreciate the ability or faithfulness of the Revision Commltte-, much less from any desire to bnrden them in tho performance of tho task committed to the charge. No Room for Improvement. But the possible improvement of the con fession seems so small, and the risk almost the certainty of injuring it, seems. now so great and the present disturbance of the faith of our people so perilous that we feel hound to record again our protest against it. Since the Revision movement has begun, dangerous doctrinal errors havo appeared in all bounds, against which historic and vener able confession has ever been the sufficient bulwark, and we deem it most deplorable that the very instrument of discipline itself should be the subject of such free debate, when it is most needed to suppress doctrinal disorder. In view of all of this we must respectfully but most earnestly beg the Committee on Bevision-to consider whether they cannot ask from the Assembly that for the present, at least, tho work of Bevision be discontinued. This resolution was under discussion until about 4 o'clock, and it, with the report of the Committee on Bevision of Faith, was laid over nntil the evening session so that the case of Bev. Joseph H. Bausman might be taken up. Bey. Mr. Bausman, pastor of the Presbyterian Church at Bochester, Pa., was found by the -committee of the Alle gheny Presbytery to bave expressed views widely different from the established doc trines of the church. Want to Keep The Church Intact. Dr. Marquis was first called in the case. He is a commissioner from the congregation at Bochester, and represented that body in its desire to protest asainst the dissolution of Mr. Bausman and his congregation. He said on the question of dissolution the congre gation had voted 107 against it, and 13 ior. He said if the relationi between Mr. Baus man and the congregation were severed, tho church at Bochester would be badly crippled and it would divide the church. The speaker then read the memorial of the congregation on the subject The bpeaker was then gen erally questioned as to what he had heard Mr. Bausman talk of and preach. He had not heard him rreach any doctrine inconsistent with the Confession of Faith. Mr. McWilliams, also a commissioner, was spoken to and gave similar opinions. Howard Bliss, a news paper man of Bochester, said that he had never heard any utterances of Mr. Bausman that varied from the Confession of Faith. Mr. McWilliams was then asked as to whether the congregation merely bears with the sentiments of Mr. Bausman or whether they are in sympathy with them. .He could not answer. Toung Men Were Affected. Bev. Mr. Johnson, addressing Mr. Mc Williams, said: "A report came to me that the young men of Bochester have become greatly affected by the views of Mr. Baus man. Is it true?" A negative answer was given. J. H. Ewing, also n commissioner, and representing the minority side of the con gregation, said: "Mr. Moderator, the minor ity side do not ask that a dissolution be made, but that the Presbytery take such ac tion as it deems proper for the safety of the church." Mr. McWilliams was again called to the stand. He was asked: "Were Dr. Bausman doctrinally unsound would the congrega tion wish to retain him as a pastor?" Mr. McWilliams No. Mr. Feyler, a commissioner, was asked whether the congregation believed in eternal punishment He replied that he believed they did. Bev. Dr. John Fox here asked Mr. Bausman to define hi? views, but the latter declined, stating that the propo sition was not fair. Bev. I. N. Hays asked Mr. Bausman whether he believed and still adhered to the answers he gave when he was ordained. Mr. Bausman said: "As far as fundamental doctrine J have never departed, and I believe the Scriptures con tain the word of God." Bev. Dr. Gibson here offered a resolution to the effect that Mr. Bausman be sent back to his congregation and enjoined to great care in preaching the Gospel. Not Straight on Eternal Punishment Bev. Dr. Kennedy objected to this resolu tion on the ground that the honor of the Confession of Faith and the Presbytery were at stake; that Mr. Bansman had been found to entertain and express views con trary to the doctrine of eternal punishment and the inspiration of the Scripture; that this he admitted, and that the Presbytery wonld do wrong to countenance such, an infraction. Bev. Dr. Campbell favored a trial of Sir. Bausman. Bev. Mr. McCormick said he thought the congregation -should be shown some respect, that they were unanimously in favor of keeping Mr. Bausman, and that sufficient ground had not been shown for a dissolution which wonld not only be wronr, but unjust and nnchristian. Several substi tute resolutions were then offered in place of Bev. Dr. Gibson's; that of Bev. Dr. Camp bell being the most satisfactory it was- car ried. It was as follows: WhxbeaS, The Commissioners of the Ro chester Chnrch have answered the citation of the Presbytery to show reasons why the pastoral relations should not be dissolved, and have good reasons why it should not be dissolved; and Bausman Is Victorious. Whereas, Presbytery has for tho present thrown sufficient safeguards arouud the church at Rochester by tho appointment of a committee to confer at their discretion i,"ilb.
