A STATEMENT FROM PHILADELPHIA.
a CoLoR LINE FIGHT.
Result of the Easter Elections in Caro-
lina's Episcopal Churches.

Result of the Easter Elections in Caro-
ina's Episcopal Churches.
CHARLESTON, s. c., April THE Easter
elections in the Episcopal churches to-day
brought out full vote, the issue being the
admission of the negro clergymen into the
diocesan convention, which meets in May.
The returns are not all in as yet, and it will
be some time before they are received. In
some Of the parishes the delegate; TO the
convention are elected by the congregation.
In others they are elected by the vestrymen.
The returns from the city churches, nine in
number, are all in. OF the nine churches
two are colored. OF the white churches
one, st. Paul, refused to elect delegates to
the convention, and two of them
elected delegates who will vote
for the admission of the colored
rector of ST. Marks. The colored congre-
cations did not elect delegates. The princi-
pal fight was in st. Phillips church, where
there were two tickets voted-one. the no
negro ticket, and the other what is called
the compromise ticket. The latter ticket
vas elected. It is therefore probable that
the colored rector of ST. Marks will be ad-
mitted to the May convention, and that an
amendment will be adopted debarring ne
groes from admission to the convention here
after.

LOUISVILLE, KY, April Ut has just

REED IGNORED THEM.
Tobacco Tax Repeal Advocates Mad
at the Speaker.

WASHINGTON, April 7.-Speaker Reed
having determined to follow strictly his
predecessors example and recognize no one
to move the repeal of the tobacco taxes,
found it convenient to conceal his purpose
by precipitating a three-hours' pension de-
bate In the House to-day, at the end of
which the House service pension bill, which
figured as It's subject, was shelved because
it failed to receive the two
thirds vote necessary to pass it.
The southern republicans are fighting
mad over the refusal of Speaker Reed to
recognize the motion to consider the repeal
of the tobacco tax. Most of them were
elected on pledges TO procure this repeal.
They see no prospect Of it Qor the provis-
ions in the Mckinley bill do not cover III &,
and so look forward to the indignation Of
their constituents.

dedicator, finding that he stood no chance
Of winning in the coming presidential cleo

tire support Of public opinion, which refuses

effected between the other two candidates

believed in consequence of the agreement
that the election to be held Sunday next

ILLINOIS AND THE FAIR,
q Special Session of the Legislature
Probable.


CHICAGO, April TIT is said that Gov.
Fifer will call special session Of the legis-
lature at once to deal with the worlds fair
matters. The principle work of the legis-
Iature will be to provide for a state exhibit
at the exposition. This will involve the
appropriation of liberal sum of money to
defray the expenses of such an exhibit, and
the appointment of a commission to SUPER
intend the disbursement of the fund. Next
will be the action of the legislature with
regard to the authorization of the issuance
of fair bonds to the extent of S5,000,0 900 by
Cook county or the city of Chicago Under
the present state constitution such munich
pal Indebtedness could not be incurred by
either city or county.
AN ELECTION MUST BE HELD.
To enable such to be done constitutional
amendment can be made only by vote of
the people, but in order that it may be sub
mitted to the people legislative action is
necessary. Five million dollars OBJ
taiued by these bonds is necessary
TO raise the fund from the
$5,OO0.000 already subscribed TO the 10000
VOO prescribed by the Worlds Fair bill. The
legislature would be also called on to cede
TO the Worlds Fair Association temporary
possession of state interest and riparian
rights on the lake front, should it be de-
clded to hold the exposition on that site.

TARIFF BILL PROTESTS.
A PLAN THAT MEXICAN LEAD ORE
BE LET IN FREE.

Fears That Mexico Will Retaliate on
American Machinery and Manu-
facturers-Glove Manufacturers OBJ
iect to the Change Asked by the
Inporters-They Claim That it Opens
the Door for Fraud.
WASHINGTON, April THE ways and
means committee is in receipt of remon-
strances against the proposition to tax
Mexican lead ore. Representative Lawler
to-day received a copy of a telegram sent to
the committee by one of the largest Chi
cago firms, reciting that our trade with
Mexico depends largely on the exchange of
mining products for mining machinery,
that il tax is laid Mexico will retaliate by
prohibitcry duties on American goods, and
thereby American manufacturers, work
men and railways will suffer. ;
A delegation of glove manufacturers
were before the committee to-day in refer
ence TO a proposition Of the importers, who
were also represented by their committee,
to substitute a specific duty based upon
measurement upon gloves for the compound
duty proposed in the tariff bill.
CHANCE FOR FRAUD.
They objected to the proposed change on
the ground that kid gloves can be so
stretched and manipulated as to defraud
the revenues. A 16 inch glove would be
imported at fourteen inches, and afterwards
stretched out to its full length
They insisted that it would
be an unstable, dangerous system of impos-
ing the duty, and held that the compound
duty proposed in the pending bill should be
retained. The manufacturers also desired
an Increase of the duty ON ladies' kid
gloves, which they assert are not now made
in this country because of an insufficient
amount of protection.
IMPORTERS PUT IN A DENIAL.
The importers vigorously contended for
their standard, and defied the manufact-
urers to prove TO the committee by an act
ual demonstration that'it would be practi-
cable and profitable to stretch gloves after
they came into the market.
About twenty-five firms. represent
ing wholesale druggists and manufact-
urers of brushes. have signed a memo
rial to congress, which was presented
by H. B. James of New York to-day, asking
that the present duty of 30 per cent. ad
valorem on imported brushes be retained or
not increased as proposed, and that bristles
be placed on the free list.

New York, April 7.-The failure has
been announced on the stock exchange Of
the old and prominent brokerage firm of
George X. Sistare's Sons. A member of
the firm is quoted as saying that the failure
was caused by heavy defalcation in their

the defalcation about the same figure.
This IS the second time that the firm has
suffered through managers of its branch
offices. Two years ago the manager of the
Detroit Office, A. N. Stanton, by falsifying
his account, ran up q shortage Of Sl50,000,
but this blow the firm recovered from, and
until to-day's developments its credit ran
high.
