RELIoUIDArIOys SUSPENDED.
A Decision Of the supreme Court Looked
For in Similar Cases.


NEW YORK, Dec 6.--Assistant-Secre-
tary Hamlin to-day telegraphed Collector
Kilbfeth, at New York, to suspend ali
reliquldations or the tobacco refund
cases under all acts Of Congress and all
reliquidatiOns Of other merchandise, under
the act OF March 3. 1853. This Is the first
result Of the New York customs-hOuse
refund investigation The statements Of
refunds OF excessive duties called on to-
baeco at New York, have been based upon
the interpretations OF tobacco provisions
Of the act Of 1893. by courts In New York
State, in the Blumlein case. four years
ago The officials OF the Treasury De-
pai.tment recently have had brought 10
their attention the fact that there Is now
peiiding before the Supreme Court OF the
United States a case involving similar
questions TO those decided In the Blum
lein case, and they prefer TO await a
decision Of that court before authorizing
refunds.
Assistant Secretary Hamln is not yet
ready TO make any statement OF the
extent TO which the irregUlars In pre-
narine vouchers has proceeded, or to
Indicate the amount which the govern
ment has lost by this means. His action
to-day. however. in suspending all re-
funds is regarded as significant.

nrcsent week the available cash balance
of the treasury will reach figure lower

A Lasting Monument to the Memory Of Mr.. VIM
l. Hsarns-Large Audiences Present Both AZ
ternOOn and Evening.

The new Evangelistic Tabernacle on
South street, erected by Mr.. VIM. L.
Hearne, was yesterday formally dedi'
Gated to the service of God. The exer'
cises were OF unusual interest, from the
fact that number Of Protestant min
listers OF different denominations took
part. The commodious and beautiful
edifice, with a seating capacity Of nine
hundred people, was nearly filled by
memb ers OF the different church con-
gregaGions. The addresses were all i'm
promptu, and were necessarily brie..
They were listened to with close atten-
tion by the congregation, especially the
address Of Mr.. Hearne, which was very
touching and impressive.

rian, and people of all denominations
will be welcome. He took the step az
ter mature elaboration and hoped il
would be the means Of helping his
fellow man. Mr.. Hearne's voice trem-
bled with emotion when he said, If
the Tabernacle accomplishes the work
for which il was intended, would
rather be the founder Of this institution
than the founder Of dynasty or king
DOM" Mr.. Hearne was unable to pro-
coed farther, and after pointing to the
motto, ''For the weapons Of our warfare
are not carnal. but mighty through God
to the pulling down of strongholds," he
excused himself and took his seat.
Mr.. William H. Hearne was called
upon and spoke briefly OF the work.
He stated his fathers reasons for start
ing the institution and stated that he
had helpmate in all his plans, loving
wife and fond mother, who took an in
terest in the project from the time il
was first suggested. he closed by ex-
pressing the hope that the Tabernacle
would reach the class OF fallen men and
women for whom it was intended, and
thus be the means of saving souls.

talk. He thought after listening to the
