The question involved tho wiihdr;. ing of subsidies from church publications that could not exist other wise it:id the payment of conference ex- jK'Hses. The discussion was ltngthy, and at times spirited, but the matter was linully laid on the table by a rising vote. Discussion of the report of the committee on the revision of the coiisti tut ion and the report of the committee on rules for tho geuerul conference elec tions were considered. Tho reistt't of tho committee on eleo' tions, which was nmdo public Saturday, recommending that the election of bish ops 1k held under tho tho two-thirds rule, was brought up and debated. Dr Buckley advocated it. Tho report wus voted on soction by section.

"Fourth These angels and men, thus predestined and foreordained, are par ticularly and unchangeably destined and their number is so certain and defi nite that it cannot bo either increased or diminished." Several presbyteries have asked spe cifically that tho assembly should ap point a committeo to consider tho whole question of . creed revision, whilo others desire that a new creed be ordered, leav ing the old one untouched to bo pre served intact as a historical document, whilo tho now version shall bo the working creed of tho church.

MONKOE DOCTRINE BEING MENACED. United Mate Conmils Orderetl to IiiTen- ti;ato Colonliation of Other Nntlous in South aud Central America. Washington, May 13. In view oi the significant references to tho enforce' meiit of tho Monroe doctrine by Secre tary Root, Senator Lodgo aud other prominent men the state deprrtmeut haf taken steps to securo data on the sub joct. Tho burden of these speeches ha been tho startling increase of tho Ger man colonies in Sonth and Central America, which have been regarded as menacing tho Monroo doctrine. It also has been asserted that these German colonists maiutain their home customs iu tho new laud, deal almost exclusively wi th Germany, use only tho German language, have almost nutonomons gov ernments within tho limits of American republics and are, in fact.littlo (ferman- les wherever located. The stnte department lias addressed on instruction to every minister und consul in South and Central America, to inform the dejiartmeut fully on all tho points to which reference has been made. Of course Germany is not re ferred to by name, for such a direction might naturally give nmbrago to the German government. Tho circular ap plies to colonists of all nationalities, though it is of conrso expoctcd that tho consuls, iu compiling their reports, will differentiate tho colonists.

Tho Americans had threo casualties A minor of an outbreak in ManiU among tho natives, which was in circu In t ion lust week, was seriously discusseo by some of tho local papers, and at tracted more general attention than ha usually been the case with this sort ol tiling. As a matter of fact, many Fili pinos did leove their employers with th apparent intention of joining some such movement. Their action, taken in con uection with tho arrest of several na tives for carrying concealed weapons and tho dispersing of several suspicion gutlierings, gave color to the reports. Tho officials have been active in the matter, but are not inclined to thiuk nn uprising will be attempted. They be lieve the Filipinos Licking in the neees snry courage, especially iu view of tht fact that the natives feared to attempt the demonstration at the time of Gen end Lawton's funeral, although the) hod made careful preparations and nmnj insurgents hud come to Manila for thit express purjiose. A pajsT found among tho captured effects of General Pantaloon Garcia as sorts that tho United States cougresi has done nothing for the Filipinos nun tluit, therefore, all Filipinos who art working for Americans must leave then employers immediately or suffer th penalty of trenson. One report is that the Filipino junta is endeavoring to incito an outbreak in order to show tho civil commission thai the insurrection is still alive. It does not seem probable thut tht peace proxisuls which Seuor Buencn- mino, at one time a member of tho so- called Filipino government, has drawn up for submission to Aguinaldo and tht other insurgent leaders will liavo much weight with the Filipinos. Biteuca' mino's reputation, gained in formoi wars, is that of a man who hurries to get on the winning side. He was in disfavor with the Filipinos even before the collnpst of their government, owing to a widespread suspicion of his loyalty to his colleagues. Last week General MacArthur r 0' ceived a largo number of officials, con suls, oflicers and representatives of com mercial bodies. To Lieutenat Crowder, his military secretory, he will assign many duties heretofore devolving upon the adjutant general. This step is taken m view of the increasing impor tanee of the post of governor general. General Mac Arthur's policy uppears to involve considerable decentralization Ho will give to his Rtnff authority in mntters of detail and will devote him self largely to questions of policy. AFTER SCALP OF ENGLISR Some Pliiladi-lpliiaiiK Angry Over Threat Ing or Wmmmukf r Hist Excuse and Thut or the Mayor. PhilaiikIiPhia, May 14. Philndelphi ans hove been talking over tho call ol Director of Public Safety Abraham L. English nion John Wonnmaker, with tho object of stopping certain nows paper publications charged to tho mer chant. The citizens generally, and tho solid business men jwirtionlarly, demand the resignation of the director and they aro backed by practically tho eutiro press. Iu nn emphatic public announcement Mayor Ashlnidge defended English and refused point blank to either ask the di rector to resign or dismiss him. There was circulated among tho prin cipal business men a petition which was rapidly signed, calling for English's res ignation or dismissal. The same bnsi ness men nro arranging to hold a mom moth muss meeting to make a demand on the mayor, should he fail to act im mediately. Dijector English, in a statement is sued, charges Mr. Wannmaker with not being truthful in his statements of what took place ot the interview of Thursday. Mr. English said tliat Tho North American falsely stated several mouths ago that he had nothing before becom ing director and that ho at once pur chased a $15,000 house. He complained, he said, to Mr. Wanamnker, but the at tacks continued. Mr. Enirlish said he called on Mr. Wauamaker simply as a private citizen, and did not refer to tho administration or the Keystone Tele phone ordinance in any way. Ho do llied calling Mr. Wauamaker a liar or making any threats. In conclusion ho says: "If Mr. Wauamaker feels aggrieved at what has actually taken placo be tween us. let him appeal, as I do, to any lair minded man and see whether lie would have done less for tho protection oi his home and family." English told Wuuaumker he hud affi davits reflecting on Wunamiiker's pri vate character, which he Would make public if Wauamaker did not stop tho attacks of The North American on the city administration. 1'i Out or 910 Fatal.

Price In Ile Ing Ov.rcoiue. New York, .May 1? R. O. Dun & Co.'s weekly review of trade, issued to day, said in part: With wholesome promptness the country is recovering from the ttubur niKsmeut of unnaturally high prices. In some hues the great manufacturing as sociations have taken the lead, in others reductions are still deferred because the entire producing capacity is engaged at high prices for some months to come, in others it conies in spite of resistance, because buyers hold back orders foi their own protection until material con cessions are made. No disturbance noi stringency of credits results, nor any sign of alarm, and the movement is jierliaps more henlthy than it could have been if entirelx. controlled by the competition of many Si all concerns. Tho proportion of works aud of handf unemployed is yet quite small, and the volume of bnsiuoss transacted, though less than last year in New England and iu middle state cities, is larger thau ever before at 54 out of 63 clearing houses in tho entire region west of Peuusylvenia and south of the Potomac. Production, stimulated by high prices, rises above consumption, retarded by them. Tho weekly output of pig iron May 1 was 203,850 tons, against 289,482 April 1, while unsold stocks not held by the great steel makers increased 44,045 tons. This would indicate a daily consump tion of 40,041 tons, against 41,1(42 in January, hitherto the largest, but foi the fact that considerable stocks have also accumulated in the hands of coiv snming concerns, of which enough tc nse much more than 1,000 tons daily art now idle. Bessemer pig at Plulndol phia mid Lehigh Valley No. 1 here art quoted at $22 per ton and market wirt has been reduced in corrcsixindenot with barbed and plain. Considerable increase of business is reported, result ing from recent reductions.bnt demand nyliigher wages and also for closing of some iron works two months in tht year, whether there is business or not. causes some hesitation regarding furthei contracts. Wool yields a little more, chiefly in the finer grades. A decline of neui'lii 10 per cent at tho London sales is one ennse, but a moro potent is the con tinned obstention of manufacturers whr do not find the market for goods at the advanced prices named this year nt all satisfactory, except for a few staples, Cancellations cause some trouble and slow payments some, and prices of man) grades are UTegnlar. In spite of good exports, wheat pros pects suffice to cause a decline of 1 3cl while corn has declined 2nc. Corn ex ports still run aiinch beyond lost year's. Of both grains, the movement from tho farms is largo enough to disjiel at fear that the supply will run short. Failures for the week have lieen 195 in tho United States, against 1(15 lust year, and 15 in Canada, against 20 last year. PrHt rut ionH From Hent. Chicaik), May 15.
