gain of PA members in the subordinate
branch and OF ,o06 members of the Rebekah

ing industry for the purpose of agreeing upon a

holding that whenever silver forms a com

duty.
1t is asserted that under this ruling large uuar-
titles of lead are being imported free OF duty

TO make lead ores dutiable where there was .
greater quantity of lead than of silver in the
importation, notwithstanding that the value of
the silver might be greater than that of the
lead. The importation of silver with lead it is
alleged, is in many cases made for no other
purpose than to evade the payment OF duty on
the lead. 1t is said that the men at the confer

admission OF lead FREE of duty affects their busi-
ness TO the extent of millions OF dollars

JERSEY CITY q. j., May 14th.-The audience

men, headed by Chief Murphy, were in the
theater in creoitable short space of time after
the discovery. When the firemen entered the
building Il few persons showed disposition to
rusn out, but fireman Coleman dealt one man a
powerful blow with his fist. This had the de-
sired effect of stopping rush which might
have resulted in panic. The police did good
service in allaying the fears of the nervous men
and women. The audieEce watched intently

the flames The orchestra played with CON-
mendsble vigor which impaired confidence
