His Statements or Resign.
CLEVELAND. March 18 Rev A. B. Put
nam, the president Of the MacQueary co.
clesiastical court, called on Bishop Leon
ard, and filed the written verdict in the
case The verdict has not been made
known by the bishop or the members of
the court, direct to the press, but it has
been automatically learned that the fnd-
ing Is guilty, "and the punishment rec
commended that of suspension.
According to the canons Of the general
convention whenever this penalty Of sus-
pension shall be inflicted on a bishop,
priest or deacon, the sentence shall specify
in what terms or ut what time said PEN
atty shall cease" The terms in the Mac
Queary case rs recommended by the court
to the bishop, are these: "Mr. MacQnearv
shall, within six months, either renounce
his views on the virgin birth and the
bodily resurrection or else be degraded
from the ministry"
In any event, his suspension will ter
inmate in.six months, either by degrada-
tion or retraction. It is generally be-
lieved that Mr. MacQueary will at once
withdraw from the ministry on learning
OF the verdict officially, and accept an
offer from a church of another denomina-
tiQn.
Bishop Leonard, in whose hands the
verdict now is, was otat home to callers.
It is not thought he will exercise his pre-
rOgatiye in imposing a lighter penalty
than that recommended by the court.

Will BE Nothing to Settle.

WASHINGTON, March l3-The settle
ment of the Behring sea matter, as fore
shadowed in the correspondence between
the Unit, d States and the british govern
ment, Is not a settlement in the opinion
of the treasury department officials. The
fact that the issue of the permits to ves-
sells to cruise in the Behring sea is not
prohibited during the pendency of negoti-
ations this summer, is pointed at as al
most fatal to United States interests in
those waters. Advices received at the
treasury department indicate more gen.
eral onslaught on the seal fisheries this
spring aud summer than ever before.
There are now fitting out at Victoria, b.
c., forty vessels which will infest the
waters about the seal islands. At San
Francisco. twenty vessels are being made
ready for sea, bound for the islands of st.
Paul and st. George. In the language of
a government official, when the pending
controversy as to jurisdiction in the Beh-
ring sea is settled there will be nothing to
SETTLE" that is, all the seals will have

KnOtty Problem Regarding the Inn
portatiOn of Books Unraveled.
NEW YORK, March 17.-An important
decision has beeh handed down by the
United States board of general appraisers.
W. E. Benjamin and Dodd, Mead & Co.,
appealed against an assessment OF rs per
cent. on books on tho ground that they
had been printed more than twenty years
ago. The appellants contended that al
though the books had been rebound that
was in the nature of repairs and they
should be admitted free. The appraisers
hold that books entitled to free entry
must be both printed and bound more
than twenty years prior to Importation.
and that such binding includes rebinding
where the same is entire AS in the present
case. The assessment is sustained in both
cases. The appellants made an effort to
pay duty on the binding but there is no
provision therefor.
