Admiral Crown- Inshtold , chief of the Navigation bureau , had made a change In that portion of his annual report which refers to the failure of the department's efforts to redeem.

" The change Is explained as follows In u footnote : "In the original draft the report reads : 'In an hour more propitious for re ward , ' read , 'Won In a more propitious hour. ' A misconstruction of my meaning in j these , words as they originally stood has led mo to make the present reading correspond , exactly with what was meant and generally understood in the first nluce.

AVhcther iho Chlncso exclusion law etiould bo nppllcd to the Philippines Is among the subjects engaging the attention of the 1'hlllpplno commission. Con- nldcrablo evidence bearing on the ques tion hns been collected and besides present ing this testimony with their full report It la expected that their recommendation will I bo made , which will have considerable In fluence In shaping the course of this gov- and the notion of congress. It Is understood that two members of the commission , Messrs. Denby and Worcester , j have expressed themselves BB favorable to an application of the Chinese exclusion nnt to the Philippines. From the fact that Gen eral Otla has issued an order for Chinese exclusion it Is assumed that his voice , aa a member of tbo commission , also would bo for Chinese exclusion In the Philippines , The position of Admiral Dewey , however , Is understood to be favorable to Chinese ad mission. While this personal view of the admiral has beui expressed to friends , It Is not known whether bo would glvo It official expression In case all his colleagues on the commission favored n recommendation of exclusion. The attitude of President Schur- man hns not been made known oven In an Informal way. The exclusion question Is Involved to some extent with the Inquiries which the United States Is now making of other powera as to the maintenance of an open door policy ! n China. It was stated today In an authorita tive diplomatic quarter that In case the United States adopted a permanent policy of Chinese exclusion In the Philippines there was llttlo doubt such a course would cause China to bo less friendly In her co-operation with thi > plans of the United States to extend - tend our trade In the empire.

The Interstate Com merce commission began the hearing today of iho complaint of the St. Ixiuls Uuslnres Men's lenguo against Pacific const railroads and their connections In the matter of dis crimination against St. Liuls In the llxlng of freight rates. Of the commission only four members were present Chairman M. A. Knapp , C. T. Prouly , J. D. Yocmnns and J. C. Clements. Kx-Govcrnor Joseph W. Klfcr of Illinois , who was recently appointed a member of the commission , Is here , but has not been sworn In , All the defendant roads were represented by counsel , as were also n number of cities other than St. Louis , which desired to Join with It In the complaint of freight rnto dis crimination. { H.

Baker , D. n. Home , 12. M. Sharon , J. S. T. Jackson. U. W. Scott , A. G. Goldschmtdt , M. L. Works and Lon Bry- son. Attorney E. S. Plllabury read a lengthy pe tition of Intervention on behalf of the Pa cific Corst Merchants' and Manufacturers' acsoclatlon , who desired to Join with the railroads In replying to the complaint. Other ConiiilnlntN Arc Filed , On behalf of the plaintiff's contention peti tions of Intervention were flloJ by the Chicago cage Merchants' association , the merchants and manufacturers of Milwaukee , the job bers and shippers of St. Paul aud Minneapo lis , the Kansas City Transportation bureau and the Commercial club of St. Joseph , Mo. After Attorney Christy had read the com plaint , A. J. Vanlandlnghani , commissioner of the St. Louts Traffic bureau , was placed on the stand as the first wlincfa for the plaintiff. Hie testimony was largely techni cal. From existing tariffs ho showed how the middle west was being practically excluded from Pacific coast territory because of dis crimination In ratco. The points ho aimed to show were that unreasonable differences exist between carload and less than carload class and commodity rates and that there were such variations in less than carload rates on hardware and other articles that St. Louis and middle western Jobbers could not ship such freight to the Pacific coast I at a profit. At the afternoon session Mr. Vanlandlng- ham resumed his direct testimony. Ho said bo believed the tariff o ! Juno , 1S98 , was adopted as the result of some kind of an agreement between the railroads Interested and the Jobbers of the Pacific coast , and cited testimony given at a St. Paul meeting In support of his belief. He did not know of his own knowlcdce that such an agree ment had been made , bue he had heard refer ences to "a contract. " Attorney Harrin for the Southern Pacific' conducted the crces-exnmlnntlon. Ho could not shako Mr. Vanlandinghatn's testimony that In his opinion something besides a mere question el meeting of rail and water com petition had entered Into the framing of the present tariff schedule.

NEW YORK , Nov. 13. The case of Prof. Arthur McQIffert of Union Theological seminary , who Is charged with holding views at variance with the doctrines of the Presbyterian church , came before- the pre - bytery today and was referred to the gen eral assembly. A committee was appointed last June to confer with Prof. McQiffert and prevail on him to withdraw from the church or modify his vlows. Meotlngsi have been 'hold ' , which Prof. McGiffert attended , but ho steadfastly refused to rccedo from the stand ho had taken on certain church matters , saying that ho had been misunderstood. The general - oral assembly prepared expressly for Prof. McGlffert's case an outline of the funda mental principles of the church. Thess were : 1. That the statements of the holy scrip tures are absolutely truthful , free from error when Interpreted In their natural and Intended sense. 2. That In Jefus Chrtot there were two whole perfect and distinct naturcu , the Kodhead and the mnnnoad being Insep arably Joined together In ono person with out conversion and confusion , DO thiit Ho WHB In no partlculur llabln to error. 3. That the Lord'n supper was Instituted by the direct and personal net of Jesus Christ to bn observed In Ills church unto the end of the world. 4. That God justified men by Imputing the obedience and Hatlsfnctlon of Christ to them , they resting upon Him In all Hln ilffhteousness by faith , which faith they loeelvo nn tbn ( ? ! ft of God. It Is only the last of these statements that Prof , McGiffert accepts a It stands , The commlttoa to whsm the matter was re ferred \\att composed of Dr. Hobort Sample , chairman ; Dr. John II. Shaw , Rev. Dr , It , n. nooth and Ilev. Dr. John C. Illlss , and the following elders : William Magle , O.'car H. Hoyd and Titus n. Mclgs , Mr , Boyd was thi only one of the committee absent at a meriting cf the committee held Just prior to the mooting of the presbytery. The report wan voluminous. It essence was that tbj case should be referred to the general as sembly \vhlch merta In St. Louis no.vt May. The report \\as nrcrpted nnd ordered printed for pilvato distribution among lha members of the presbytery and made the order of the day of the December meeting. | At the conclusion cf the reading of Iho : report Prof , Francis Brown , Dr. Howard | Agnew Johnson and Itov. Dr. Henry Van dyke rend suggestions In which It was ad- vlrod that the controversy over Prof. Mr- Olftort bedropped. . Dr. Johnson's paper \\n heard first , then Prof. Brown's and Dr. Vandyke's , and they wereIn substance alike. Dr. Vandyke said that while n ma jority did not agree with Prof. McGlffcit , Iho wisdom of a heresy trial was doubtfu anil mlzht result In harm to the Presby terian cause. In view of preparations for a scries of Presbyterian revivals In this city this fall and winter the postponement of the discussion of the subject and the reference to the general assembly were thought de sirable.
