Big Memorial From Chicago Handed
President Harrison.
WASHINGTON, March 5.-Wiliam T. Black
stone, of Chicago TO-DAY visited the President,
in company with Secretary Blaine and pre-
sented a memorial In behalf of the Russian
Hebrews. He explained that the memorial
was the result OF conference of Christians
and Hebrews recently held in Chicago,
and called especial attention to the fact that it
did not antagonIZe Russia, hut only sought in
peaCeable way to give the Hebrews control of
their homes in Palestine He pointed out
many evidences OF the possibility of great de-
velopment Of that country. both aGricultur-
ally and commercially. under an energetic
government. and said that the rail-
road now building from Joppa to Jerusalem. If
extended TO Damascus. 1admor and down the
Euphrates. canuor fail to become an interna-
tional highway. He said that the poverty of
the Turkish Government gives emphasis to the
proposed indemnity by funding a portion of
the Turkish national debt through Hebrew
capitalists. and that only peaceable diplomatic
negotiations are asked for TO the end that all
private ownership of land and property be care
fully respected and protected
in closing he said that being on such
friendly terms with Russia. and having no
complications in the ORIENT. it is most fitting
aid hopeful that our Government should in
itiate the friendly movement. to give these
wandering millions of Israel permanent homes.
The President listened attentively to Mr.. Black
stones remarks and promised to give the sub
feet serious consideration.

WHERE TIME WAS MONEY.

nPFc1AL TELEGRAM TO THE DISPATCH.

ESPECIAL TELEGRAM TO THE DISPATCH:
PHILADELPHIA, March 5.-The Phila-
delphia Mint bill, after all the efforts that
have been exerted in its behalf, and the
deals that have been madqfis almost as far
away from the starting post as it was at the
beginning of the session. 1t has just been
discovered that the Secretary of the Treasury
is instructed by the bill to perform certain
actions, which will require an expenditure,
The bill passed on Monday last, and signed by
the President on Tuesday, does not contain any
appropriation.
According to the bill, while the Secretary of
the Treasury is directed to perform certain
money for the reason that no money was ap-
propriated by this Congress. In other words
the bill is not an appropriation act, and as such
it IS absolutely useless at this time or until
Congress appropriates the sum of s., 600
with which to carry out the provision of the
bill
The bill was drawn up by Mr.. Dapray, the
law clerk in the office of the Supervising
Architect, and the omission of an approprIa-
tiOn is not the result of an oversight The
original bill drawn by Mr.. Dapray contained
the appropriating clause, but because of the
question of jurisdiction between the Com
mittee on Public Buildings and Grounds
and the Committee on Appropriations it
was deemed advisable to refrain from making
any distinct appropriation, and thus save the
delay in the consideration of the bill. At that
time it was thought that there would be suffi-
cieut time allowed 20 Incorporate the amount
in the sundry civil bill. but by the time the
President had signed the measure the sundry
civil bill WAS in the hands of the Conference
Committee. and nothing could be done in this
direction,

RADICAL. REVENUE LAWS
IN THE ARGENTINE REPUBLIC GREAT
ING MUCH BITTERNESS.
A Duty of Five Per Cent 70 Be Placed on
Certain Exports-American Insurance
Companies Seriously Affected-A Blow
at Foreign Bankers.

WASHINGTON, March 5.-The Bureau
of American Republics is informed that the
President of the Argentine Republic has
recommended to the Congress OF that coun-
trv several very radical revenue laws, which
have created a bitter enmity against the
administration in commercial circles.
The President, in his message, holds that
such measures are absolutely necessary to
maintain the credit of the Government and
asks their Endorsement by Congress; bua
Congress has not vet ratified his suggestion.
He proposes first, TO impose an export duty
Of 5 per cent ad valorem upon animal oils,
horns, ierked beef, bone ash, horse hair,
hides and skins bones, wool tallow and
ostrich feathers, which constitute the great
bulk OF the exports Of the Argentine Re-
public IT Is also proposed to materially in
crease the import tariff it being understood
that the proceeds shall be devoted exclusively
10 the payment OF the interest upon the public
debt.
Vessels under foreign nag. which are en-
gagged in the coasting trade shall pay the fol-
lowing annual duty: Vessels less than % tons
register, S50 vessels upward OF % tons register,
$40 for every ten tons register or fraction
thereof Another decree recommends 4 Ii
cense tax of $4,000 on foreign nsuranc ce COM
panies and requires deposit of 100000 as a
guarantee before they may be allowed to con-
tinue business 1t further requires foreign in
surance companies TO pay tax OF per cent on
the premiums received from policies insured in
the Argentine Republic
This decree Will seriously affect a number of
life and fire insurance companies OF the United
States which have branches in the Argentine
Republic. The same decree imposes tax of 2
per cent on the guid and paper deposits of
private banks which will greatlG damage the
general business of English. French, German
and Italian banks now established in the Ar

E. Zion Chur,', in Hampstead, which was
dedicated several weeks ago with great
ceremony. was locked against the pastor and
his flock last Sunday morning by H. E.
Velser. the contractor who built the church
His contract price was 81, $50 and he re-
ceived that amount. When the last payment
was made the trustees neglected to demand the
keys of the building, and Mr.. Vesler did nos
offer to hand them over. The trustees allege
that Immediately after the last payment Con-
tractor Velser put in demand for Sl3 for ex-
ira work. They refused to pay it. and Velser
prompt, locked up the church
When the pastor arrived at the new edific1
last Sunday morning he found the janitor sit
ting on the steps and several members of the
congregation standing around. The janito:
said the trustees had neglected to give him the
Keys. On the arrival of the trusrrees 1t was
learned that the KEYS were in pelser's possess
sion. An attempt was then made to enter the
building by the back door, but it was found
that some one had broken of an old key in
the lock.
The old building adjoining. which had been
abandoned amid great rejoicing few weeks
ago, was reopened and services were held
there. The congregation had to stand, as all
the seats had been taken out and placed in the
new church. To add to the inconvenience of the
situation, it was communion and baptismal Sun
day. and in consequence the congregation was
children with them in the expectation
of having them baptized in the new building
but the communion and baptismai services had
to be given up. 1t WAS also the Sunday of
which the collection is devoted to paving the
pastors salary. Only Sl3 so was taken up.
The pastor promptly turned the amount over to
the trustees with Instructions to arrange the
difficulty with Nelser also.

ESPECIAL TELEGRAM TO THE DIsPATcHl
BERWICK, March 5.-The Central Penn
sylyania Conference of the Evangelical As
sociation convened in the Evangelical
Church here this morning. Preliminary
steps were taken yesterday in reference to
the presidency of Bishop Bowman. The
trustees of the church took such action as to
exclude Bishop Bowman from the church
premises. An informal meeting Of the men,
address to Bishop Bowman, in which they
urgently asked him not to attempt to pre-
side. This address was presented to Mr..
Bowman at his rooms at the hotel this morn
ing. He received it, but declared his pur-
pose to preside, if he were not prevented.
AT an early hour members OF the Confer
ence and others gathered about the doors,
but the trustees of the church, attended by
an officer, carefully guarded the entrance,
allowing only members of Conference in good
standing upon the church premises. Bishop
Bowman marched up to the gate at the ap-
pointed hour, but was met cordially by repre-
sentative of the trustees, who informed him
that he could not enter. Seeing business in
the eyes of the guards he concluded that dis
cretion was the better part of valor and
treated from the scene. By the wise precau-
tions taken by the trustees and the calmness of
the guards no special scene occurred and
Bishop Bowman walked back to his hotel as if
he had forgotten something.
The Conference was organized temporarily by
electing Presiding Elder ]. Hartzer, of Carlisle,
as Chairman pro TEN. Conference then pro-
ceeded to elect the Rev. w. E. Detwiler,:of
York, as Permanent Chairman. The Rev. A.
Stapleton. of Hagerstown. Md, was appointed
Secretary, with the Revs. j. Z. Reeser and ].
A. Hollenbach as assistants.

PANAMA, March &c. P. Scriven,
Special Commissioner of the Colon Dian
Worlds Fair. delegated to Guatemala,
Salvador. Nicaragua and Costa Rica. ar
rived here on the Goth and sailed hence for
his destination the following day. With
one exception all the Central American
States have ports on the Caribbean Sea,
which are capable of being made important
commercial centers. The long-felt want of an
incentive to this being done is about to be pro-
vided by the Pacific Mail Steamship Company.
which is placing special line Oh, to run along
the Central American Caribbean coasts, and to
connect with the various railroad termini at
New Orleans.
By this new line of direct communication the
city and adjacent regions Of Chicago, which are
possibly the largest fruit and coffee consuming
center OF population in the world, will be
brought within five days distance from Colon,
and really much nearer than New York and
other Eastern centers. to say nothing of more
Northern ports. But this is only a single ad-
vantage. The great facilities Of transportation
that will be afforded two years hence will, in
themselves. comprise very great incentive to
the Central American people to seek their for
tunes at the great Pan-American Exposition.
Eventually this fair will prove the founda-
tion of volume of reciprocal commerce, the
possibilities of which are now scarcely sus-
pected by those most interested in its develop
ment.
