June the Government will be indebted to

1t is denied that the Government has the
right to fix a rate which is not lust
remuneration for services rendered, and it
Is claimed that the proposed rate is of this
character. The company will. therefore,
refuse to accept any money for the tele-
graph service until the courts have rendered

been Instituted, and the Government officials

New YORK, April 21.-The City of Berlin
Of the Inman Line began to unload this
this morning before permit was obtained.
The result was the seizure of all the cargo
unloaded. by order of Collector Erhardt,
and notification that unless the matter
can be properly explained the steamship
will also be seized.
The goods seized comprise crOckery, silks
and fine summer fabrics, valued at $4,000.
There will be no end of complications
for the importers of these goods over
the seizure. They are innocent par
ties, but they cannot hold the Gus
toms authorities responsible because
the goods were seized under the Treasury
regulations. Their redress, it is said, must
come from the steamship company. 1t is
estimated that this is only the beginning of
an effort to enforce the treasury regulations
with the steamship companies. 1t is not
intimated that the companies have the re-
motest idea of participating in smuggling,
but 1t is claimed that their methods invite
frauds on the revenue.

In the first two innings he gave four men

The nome team played a steady uphill

tieing the game

CINCINNATI, April 21.-The Reds downed
Anson's aggregation from Chicago to-day
with consummate eRse.
This WAS largely due to the ineffective
pitching of Hutchinson, the local national

eXasperating fashion
1t was an easily won victory. Foreman
was in superb form, and pitched with tell
ing effect.
The only man on Anson's nine who sue

bases, he lifted the ball over the center
tielder's head, cleared the bases and crossed
the home plate himself.

LAND-PURCHASE BILL.
Parnell Moves Thai Il Be Rejected by :
House OF Commons.

ParneN Moves Thai It Be Rejected BY the
House Of Commons.
LONDON, April 21-Palnell moved in the
Commons day that Balfour's Land
purchase Bill be rejected. He said that
while the bill justified the claims Of the
Nationalists made nine years ago, and while
he WAS happy TO find BaifOur enrolled as
the latest recruit to the land reformers, he
found the bill unsatisfactory. 1t was meant
simply to enable one-ninth of the owners of
the land in Ireland-theSe being the larger
absentee landloTds-to sell out at eXOrbit-
ant prices, leaving their poorer resident
brethren in the lurch.
Continuing, he said he objected to the
bill because it did not carry out what it
proposed While it exhausted the only Irish
credit available. The principle of the bill
was to purchase the whole estate. For this
100000 was ridiculously inadequate.
Ireland contained 14,000 coo acres of land
on which the poor law valuation was 81
100000. Al this valuation the total would
amount to e766,000 COO which sum would
be necessary for the solution of
the land question. The true
worth of the guarantees provided would
be for GOschen TO take them to the London
market and try and see what he could
realize on them. The securities, lie said,
cannot be real unless they effect complete
settlement of the question under local
authority, otherwise The scheme is a parody

INDIAN WAR SURVIVORS.
But Little Chance OF Their Being Pensioned
This Session

WASHINGTON, April 2t.-There Is little
chance for the passage this session of the
bill introduced by Mr.. Hermann to pension
the survivors of the Oregon Indian wars of
1S47-4S and 1886. The members of the
Pension Committee of the House, to whom
the bill was referred, have talked it over
and decided that it should not be acted
upon by them until after the other general
pension bills have been disposed of. The
bills to pension soldiers and sailors of the
Mexican War and survivors of the Indian
wars that took place in the South and
Southwest between 1882 and 1912 are before
the House, and 1t is believed that consider
able opposition to the Oregon bill would be
manifested should an attempt be made to
call for its discussion and passage before
the other bills referred to have been taken
up. The members OF the committee have
another objection to the bill. They think
1t too soon TO pension survivors of the wars
occurring as late as the Oregon conflicts,
