In commenting on the action of the as

erator Mlnton said:
"The discussion has developed and dis
played far more clearly the agreement of
the w hole assembly upon the Question of
revision than any division or discord. The
decision reached is a victory for no one. but
for all."
Dicker's Opinion.
Doctor Charles A. Dickey of Philadelphia,
who was moderator of the last General As
sembly and chairman of the special Com
mittee on Creed Revision, whose report.
with slight amendments, was adopted, to-
nai. ..lil.
uuj . smu.
"The final action of the General Assembly
on the question of rexlslon should gratify
the whole church. It meanx first that the
church may expect peace and progress dur
ing the coming year. Only good will and
great blessing could be expected as a result
of such unanimity and magnanimity. The
action of the assembly manifested mutual
conflder.ee. Without dissent, the assembly
aetermlned to go forward, and distinctly
marked out the wav of the forward moe
ment. Practically the majority report was
aoopted.
"The Interpretation put upon section B by
a very 'few made It advisable to state the
real purpose of section B with more pre
cision. This was successfully done by the
amendment proposed by Doctor Moffat, and
ms amendment was promptly accepted by
the committee, because It fully and clearly
expressed the purpose of the majority of
the committee. The hearty acceptance of
the action of the assembly by those repre
sented In the minority report was one of
the most significant manifestations of the
KCoil spirit that controlled the assembly.
"The amendment offered by Doctor Mof
fat means that there is a. strong sentiment
in the church In favor of a declaratory
statement and anxious to make ns few
changes as possible in the text of the Con
fession of Faith.
"Unless the committee should blunder or
despise Its Instructions, moderate revision
and a statement for information was as
sured." Professor John De Witt of Princeton The
ological Seminary, a strong advocate of dis
missal, said:
"Of course. I still believe that the best
thing that the assembly could have done
to be the dlslmsal of everything but some
declaration emphasizing our large liberty
under the present terms of subscription.
But to this action the assembly was op
posed by three to one.
"The second best action is that actually
taken, and in the circumstances I voted for
It with cordiality."
OPPOSE SECRETSOCIETIES.
Committee's Report on Attitude of
Presbyterian Assembly.
Des Moines, In.. May 27. This morning"
the United Presbyterian Assembly placed
Its seal upon the question of approving
woman's suffrage by formally accepting
the report of the Judiciary Committee,
which was to the effect that the question
was purely a civic one. and, therefore, not
one that properly can come before an ec
clesiastical legislative body.
This afternoon the Committee on Ju
diciary handed down Its report on the po-
i-itlon of the church as opposed to secret
organiratlons. It says in part:
"In view of the existing diversity in the
Interpretation of the fifteenth article of .the
testimony and In the application of It by
sessions In the admission of members of
secret orders nnd in Iew of the great
multiplication of these orders and of their
diversity In purpose and character, tha
General Assembly adopts the following as
expressive of the mind of the church on the
subject:
"In the administration of this article, ns
of others of the testimony sessions, the
church possesses the right to exercise a
wise discretion in dealing with such cases
as have fellowship in associations which
bind their members by oaths or affirmations
to obligations and to Immoral secrecy, or
which establish a fraternal fellowship
among men subversive of the unity of the
body of Christ. It Is especially obligatory
upon Christians to stand aloof from the so
cieties' which by their moral teachings and
religious ritual foster a belief in the salva
blllty of men npart from the mediation of
Christ. We condemn such organizations as
demoralizing to our I.ord and Injurious to
men and persons who. with knowledge of
the truth concerning them, adhere to such
associations, and they shall not be received
Into church membership. All such societies
are Included In the phrase of the testimony
'inconsistent with the genius and spirit of
Christianity,' "

DECIDE TO DRILL STILL DEEPER
Beaumont Operators Not Satisfied
With Small Producing Prop

Damages.
REPUBLIC SPECIAL.
Beaumont, Tex., May 27. In the absen:o
of developments In the Beaumont Held, not
taking Into account the new Gufley gusher
which came In on time Sunday morning,
considerable interest Is manifested here In
the oil strike at Sour Lake last Saturday.
This afternoon a telegram was received
from J, S. Burke, a civil engineer, who was
sent by Captain WUUam Wiess of Beau
mont to Investigate, saying that the drill
In the Guffey well at Sour Lake had passed
through fourteen feet of oil sand and that a
flow of oil amounting to 250 barrels a day
had resulted. Burke added that the well
was being sunk deeper. From another
source information came to the effect that
the flow was not more than six barrels a
day.
Whatever the producing qualities of the
deposit of oil sand which was encountered
may be. It is accepted as a fact that the
oil Is there, principally because It has been
found In that locality whenever wells have
been put down to a sufficient depth. Tho
gushers at Beaumont have served to blind
Texas operators to the value of ordinary
flowing wells. In the East a well producing
100 barrels a day by pumping Is considered
a good proposition.
Valne of the Ileyvvood Guaher.
The Haywood Oil Company, whose sec
ond geyser came In last Saturday, has
closed a number of contracts for crude pe
troleum in the last week. President Tyrell
to-day pointed out very tersely tho value of
a gusher when he sold that his company
could All one contract by allowing its well
to flow a single day, and that If this well
were allowed to flow continually for twelve
days, the product would be worth In the
gross a sum equal to IS per cent of the capi
tal stock ot the corporation, which Is $800,
000. A suit for $50,000 damages and a petition
for annulment of contract Is the outcome
of the falluro of the Spindletop Oil Com
pany to bring In the well on the property
of the Keith-Ward Oil Company on Gusher
Hill.

BY SUPREME COURT.
Sanitary District Not Answerable
to Missouri Complainants for
Violating Illinois Laws.
RErUHLIC SPECIAL.
Washington, May 27. In the case of the
State of Missouri against Illinois and the
Sanitary District of Chicago, the Supreme
Court to-day sustained the demurrer of the
defendants to the fourth paragraph ot the
amended complaint filed by Attorney Gen
eral Crowe and City Counselor Schnur
rench'er. This Is tho paragraph which charged the
sanitary district with violating the law of
Illinois creating the corporation, which re
quired that 300,000 cubic feet of water per
minute should be turned into the Des
1'lalnes River through the canal, and that,
by a recent order of the Secretary of War.
the flow had Deen reduced to 200,000 cublo
feet a minute.
Tho defendants demurred to this para
graph on the ground that if the sanitary
district had tlolated the law of the State
of Illinois It must and would'answer to the
State of Illinois and not the complainants In
this case; that the issue In this case turned
upon the question as to whether the turn
ing In of the sewage of the city of Chicago
into the Des Plalnes River had polluted the
Mississippi River opposite the State of Mis
souri, and that It did not concern the Stato
of Missouri as to whether the sanitary dis
trict was complying with the law of Illinois'
or not. The court sustained the contention
of the defendants, and this part of the bill
does not require an answer by Chicago.
The court Tuesday will adjourn .finally for
the term. Unless the stipulation for the
appointment of a commissioner to take tes
timony Is received from Attorney General
Crowe by Tuesday morning there will be no
commissioner appointed, and the taking of
testimony will depend upon agreements to
be made by the parties outside the courts.
The stipulation has been forwarded to At
torney General Crowe at Buffalo for his
signature, but has not been received back
from him.

STONE STATES HIS POSITION.
Sees No Need of a Convention, but
Has No' Special Objection.
REPUBLIC EPECIAL.
Nevada, Mo.. May 27-The following- let
ter from ex-Governor Stone to Editor E. E.
Bean of this city on the proposed Pertle
Springs convention was received to-day.
"St. Louis, May 23. I have received a
marked oopy of the Mall containing an In
terview with me, recently published in a
St. Louis newspaper. I do not object to
anything appearing In the Interview, but
as It was written by a reporter and not by
me. I believe I can make my position on
the proposition to hold another so-called
Pertle Springs convention a little clearer
than It appears to be in tha Interview.
"I have not. and do not favor the propo
sition for the following- reasons!
"The National Democracy met In con
vention at Kansas City on July t, 190ft and
then and there unanimously adopted a plat
form and organized a National Committee.
Shortly thereufter the State Democracy
met In convention and unanimously adopt
ed a platform and organized a State com
mittee. These platforms and committees
stand to-day as tho latest expression of
party sentiment as representative of tho
party organization. 1 believe the Missouri
Democracy Is satisfied with these platforms
and organizations, and I know I am.
Xo Jteed for Proposed Convention.
"I see no need, therefore, of a convention
being called merely to reaffirm the plat
form or to indorse the organization.
"If there are any who wish to change the
platform of the organisation, let them de
mand a convention. Such a demand from
that quarter would be logical. If a demand
of that kind should come from that quar
ter. I would second the motion.
"If the 'reorganlzers' wish to put this
question to the test. I have no objection.
Moreover, I will say that, while I see no
necessity for a convention at this time, I
have no objection to one being held if it
should appear that there is any consider
able sentiment in favor of it.
"Being a Jeffersonlan Democrat, I believe
In the sovereignty of the people. I believe
the people should be. In fact as well as in
theory, the real eourco of power. There
fore, I am always willing to hear what
they have to say and to submit to their
will.
Xo Special Objection to It.
"I do not believe there would be any dan
ger to tho party of the country In a con
vention composed of representative Demo
crats, held at'.any tlmo or for any purpose.
Hence I have no special objection to a con
cntlon. although I see no necessity for It.
"So far as I have noted the utterances
of ex-Governor .Stephens on thl- subject, I
have not understood him as urging that a
convention should be held, but only as sug
gesting that, for certain reasons given by
him. such a course might become advisable:
nor have I understood tnat air. uook ana
others who have advised against a conven
tion are especially opposed to It, but that
they would regard the holding of one as
unnecessary nnd impolitic at this time.
"So far the differences between Demo
crats upon this subject are not serious, nor
are they likely to become so. The discus
sion. In my opinion, however, has done no
harm. On the contrary. I think It has dono
good, since It has tended to arouse the par
ty In the Stato and attract attention to a
