The following were also adopted
Resolved That a committee Of nine be an.

PRECEDENTs ovERLEAPED.
Revenue Marine Officers No Longer to
Receive MoietY.

Washington, May 11-Secretary Car
Isle to-day set aside the decisions of six
of his predecessors and decided that the
statute of 1874, known as the anti-moiety
act, except in cases of smuggling,
debars all officers of the United States
from receiving a moiety or inform
er's share of the fine on account
OF information given in reference
TO violations of the statutes. The subject
came up through the collector of customs
at Cape Charles City asking that the
nnes imposed on her oyster boats for
technical violation of the law be remit
TED, transmitting at the same time the
claim of Lieuts. Daniels and Henderson
OF the revenue cutter Crawford for moiety
IN connection with the seizure of the
oyster vessels. The vessels at the
time Of seizure were laying at
anchor IN Tangier sound, near Oman
COCK, Va. They had no lights
displayed. Secretary Carlisle, after care
tul examination of the statutes, became
satisfied that revenue, marine officers were
0eDarred from receiving moiety or in
formers share, but in view of the numer-
Gus decision of his predecessors sub
mltted the whole question to Attorney
General Olney. The Attorney General,
after reviewing the case, gave it as his
opinion that the statute of 1874 clearly de-
barred an officer of the marine
service from receiving moiety,
or informer's share of the
fire, and to-day Secretary Carlisle adopted
that opinion. The significance of this de-
cision is understood to be general tighten
ing of the treasury purse strings, and the
requirement that auditors, accounting
officers and others shall not accept pre-
cedents for their guidance, but specific
law. In accordance with the principles
laid down in this decision, Secretary Car
Isle to-day instructed collectors of Gus
toms and other government officers to dis
regard all former opinions and rulings of
the treasury department on the subject of
moietes, and be governed in the future by
this decision.

The Residence of Three Leaders in
the Temperance Movement at Mus

Explosions-None of the Inmates Of

Muscatine, Ia, May 1.-THE residences
of three prominent temperance leaders of
this city, Postmaster John Mahin, n
Rosenberger, an attorney, and +. NJ. Kes-
singer, a retired capitalist, who have been
active and successful in the prosecution
OF saloonkeepers for violations of the
state prOhibitory law, were completely
wrecked by dynamite explosions late
last night. No one was injured by
the dastardly work, but the families
had miraculous escape from death. The
explosions took place simultaneously, al
though the residences are in different
parts of the city. The crime is, of course,
laid at the doors of the saloon men. Mr..
Mahin is now serving his fourth term as
postmaster of Muscatine He has
been editor and publisher of the
Muscatine Journal since 1852 and
IS one of the most prominent
republicans in the state. The saloon
keepers feel bitter toward him, charging
him with being responsible for the suits
brought against them and the presence
here Of Harvey, president of the Iowa
State Temperance Alliance, to conduct
their prosecution. Mr.. Rosenberger has
assisted in prosecuting the liquor men and

GERMANY AND THE POPE.
The Kaiser Expresses Surprise at Ut

Rome, May 1.-THE newspapers of this
city assert that Count Won Bulow, the
Prussian minister TO the vatican, visited
Cardinal Rampolla, the papal secretary of
state, and expressed surprise in behalf of
the Prussian government that his holi-
ness had departed from the customary
limits Of prudence in his recent political
remarks to the Catholic pilgrims from
Germany.
The facts in regard to the reception Of
the pilgrims are these: On Tuesday last
the pope gave formal reception to 500
German Catholic pilgrims who were con-

Stadt in Bavaria, and they presented TO

Sented an address in Latin The pope
replied in Latin. He eulogized the serv-
ices of the German Catholic press in the
cause of the church and referred to the
pilgrimagcs which had come to Rome from
every quarter of the world as proof of
the reawakening among the people every
whore in religion, despite irrelgious pro-
paganda. His holiness above all praised
those Catholics who were fighting to
restore the independence of the holy see,
and again proclaimed the necessity of that
independence for the sake of the church.
The pope concluded by exhorting the
faithful to labor for the amelioration
OF the condition of the working classes in
the spirit of the papal encyclical on the
subject. 1t was probably the reference
to the former temporal power of the
papacy that gave ofrcnse at Berlin be-

A LEVEE GIVES WAY.
Water From the Crevaese Flooding
the Surrounding Country,

GAlO country
Memphis, May 1.-THE levee broke
this morning on the Arkansas front at
Laporte, twelve miles below Granville,
and on the next place below Sunnyside
landing. The crevase was 200
feet wide when the first news
came here from Greenville,
Miss, at 10:30 o'clock this morning. The
levee that has given away was con-
structed during the past winter season.
Water from this break is flooding the
lower portion Of Chicot county, Arkansas,
in which county the cotton production
annually averages 25, 900 bales. The back
portion of the county has already been
flooded by water out of the lower
Arkansas, passing over the country and
backing up from the rear. The
break may also flood the upper portion
OF Carroll parish, louisiana
rich cotton-producing region in the
Arkansas basin, between the Mississippi
river and Bayou Macon The overfioWed
land will not. be relieved of water in time
to make cotton crop this year.
Parties from above this city to-day, in
terested in cotton plantations report
large areas under water up about Centen-
nial Islands and around Bradleys, 20
miles or more above this city. 1t means
no crop of cotton for the lands flooded
and nearly all subject TO inundation is
now under water up that way.
The river here this afternoon is very
close to the 30-foot mark on the gauge
and is within six or eight inches of the
highest on record, which was attained in
March, 1890. The outlook is not flatter-
ing for any immediate relief as the rise is
expected to continue for two or three days
yet. Well-posted observers believe it
will reach the level of extreme high
water and it may break the record.

Factions in Session.
Birmingham, Ala, May 1.-THE state
executive committees of the KOlb demo
Gratis and the populists were both in ses-
sion here to-day. They expressed them
selves unanimously in favor of again nomi-
mating Mr.. Kolb next year, and have met
to make ready for the campaign
The meetings are secret, but both
committees are said to be discussing a
proposition for joint primaries with the
regular democrats All white voters will
be allowed to cast ballots and all the re-
spective parties will support the SUCCESS
full candidates.
The pOpulist committee did not Join
with the Jcffersonian committee in the
proposition Of harmony, finally adopted
for submission to the organized demo-
cratic committee. That proposition is
for universal white primary next April
with the negro shut out altogether. Each
side will appoint two managers and
clerks.
The now state and county committees
will be elected and state and county Off
GERS will be nominated by the plurality
rule. When the respective executive COM
missioners have canvassed and announced
the result they shall dissolve, and the
newly elected committee take charge of
the united party. There is nothing TO in
dicate whether the organized or regulars,
will accept.
No candidate will be allowed to run
unless he pledges himself against any law
that tends to disfranchise white men,
which is aimed at the new Australian
ballot law. This may prevent a union
but there is a strong element among the
regulars who will fight for acceptance
The proposition is open for forty days.
