tained that such action has been TAX
en- and that all exports from America
will have to pay the same duty In
Cuba and Porto Rico ports that have
been exacted on articles from other
countries.
The officials of the State Depart
ment are not at all surprised at
Spain's action and failure TO give this
country notice, as the reciprocal reia-
tions were merely the result OF dl-
plomatic arrangement, no formai
treaty being involved.

At the Methodist's General Confer
rnce in Memphis on Saturday an inyi-
tation from the South Carolina delega-
ton asking that the next general con-
ference be held in Charleston, was re-
ferred to the proper committee.
a resolution to the effect that the
Methodists give their hearty co-opera
ton to the movement now on foot for
the establishment of a great protestant
university at the nationa! capital, was
adopted.
The temperance question was discuss
ed at great length, and especially the
clause Of the report making it viola
ton OF church discipline to sign petit
ton for liquor license.
On Friday The house adjourned with
call for a pending division on sub
motion to recommit which recon-
merded change in the discipline
making it immoral to sign petition for
liquor license. After some discussion
the sub-motion was put toe vote and
lost-yeas, 1902; nays, 16S. The an
nouncement OF the result was received
with applause by the conference and
visitors.
After q long discussion the chair
granted Dr.. Black moment in which
to make statement and he suggested,
as chairman OF the committe, and for
the sake Of harmony, that the motion
to reconsider be put and carried and a
motion to recommit be made AMI car
ried. after which the committee on tenn
perance, having heard the discussion
on the subject, could bring in report
which would be accepted by all,
The question was disposed of for the
present, as suggested by DR.. Black.

THE RICHMOND Dispatch has now
joined the filibusters and taken up the
cry Of the flag tooters. 1t says "the
importance of the acquisition Of Ha-
wall by the L. 5. government is recog-
nized by the statesmen of every coun-
try, who would look with amazement
if Uncle Sam should fail TO fly over it
the flag of the fire." Wise and just
people all over the world, statesmen as
well as others, look upon the seizure Of
Hawaii by American flibusters as one
Of the greatest outrages ofthe age, and
would deem its annexation by this
country as a cruel wrong upon a
confding and dependent nation; and
if the flag of the free" be unable to
secure the people of Hawaii any more
freedom than it does those ofthis coun-
try, they will be very apt to call, it as
the abolitionists used to do, "a tlaunt-
ing lie.

Coxcy's Camp.

The Coxey Commonweal reached its
camping place, north of Bladensburg,
Md, a short distance east of Hyatts-
vile, on Saturday afternoon.
The spot selected as the abiding-place
of the army is in thick grove OF young
second-growth trees, and the soil is
deep with loose sand and overgrown
with underbrush. The creek which
skirts it is full of deep holes, that may
catch unweary Commonwealers if they
don't look out, in case any OF them care
to shock their systems with bath.
The residents of Hyattsvilie and
vicinity are Indignant at the driving OF
the army from the District of Columbia
into the limits of Prince George ;
county. The men will not be molested.
however, unless they break some law or
the members grow too Objectionable for
the people, when vigorous steps will
be taken TO suppress or dIsperse them.
A public meeting was held in the town
Saturday night, when the laws under
which the army members could be
arrested, and the rights and powers OF
the citizens. were fully discussed and
outlined. The appearance of Coxey
and Browne in Hyattsville came near
causing riot. A committee was APP
pointed to wait upon CoXey and
Browne. who were in front Of the hall
to inform them that they could not
sneak in the town. The commissioners
Of Bladensburg were present at the
meeting.
The residents of Bladensburg were
deeply incensed at DIR. J. Webb Rog-
ers' invitation to General Coxey to en-
camp his army on his property. near
Bladensburg.
Hvattsvilie is thoroughly aroused
over the presence of the CoXeyites.
Serious trouble is expected at any hour,
and last night three companies of vol
unteers were organized. Thirty depu.
ties are patrolling Hyattsville and
Bladensburg. Preparations have been
made at Camp Coxey for long stay in
the neighborhood.
At late hour last night it was de-
cided to move the Coxey camp to-day
from Hyattsville to Bladcnsburg. The
new camp will be pitched in the yard
of the George Washington house.
Coxey and Browne were notified that
the new site was at their disposal some
DAYS ago. but it was only last night
that they decided to accept the offer.
There seems to be general dlssatls-
faction among the Coxeyites. Men are
deserving, and the general complaint is
the situation Of the camp grounds and
the scarcity of proper food.

SHOT HUSBAND AND ELoPED WITH
WIFE.-Tbe shooting of Charles Ken
yon by DR.. J. NJ Applewhite at Cor
wallis, n. Y, Friday afternoon was
highly sensational. The affair grew
out of Applewhite's attentions to Mrs.
Kenyon. He was her physician, and
that he might visit her more easily in
duced her husband to join secret So
ciety which brought him to Corvallis
one night in the week.
As might have been expected the af-
fair terminated in scandal, and the
pair left for San Francisco. Upon
there return they were arrested. Sub
sequently the woman repented and
was forgiven. Since then the doctor
has repeatedly suggested another elope-
ment, bat without success.
While the Kenyons were driving on
Friday to their home, four miles dis
tant. Applewhite fired from behind q
tree, striking Kenyon. He then pulled
the woman from the carriage and held
her in front of him. Kenyon returned
the fire, and fusilade was kept up IN
til the woman cried, 81 am shot y
Kenyon then drove to his brother-in-
laws for assistance.
Later the sheriff and posse started
in pursuit of the doctor and the woman,
but they have not as yet been found.
Both families are prominent. Apple
white is treasurer of the Board of Re-
gents of the State Agricultural College.

JERSEY CITY, n. j., May 14.-Em-
ployes of the Snake Hill almshouse,
while on their way to work at o'clock
this morning, found in the bushes along

and shot her in the breast. She be-
came unconscious and knew no more

girl had carried in her breast. The
victim is in a very critical condition

SOME PEOPLE interested in them, CON
tend that monopolies, by reducing ex-
penses, are enabled to serve the public
at cheaper rates. That such is not the
case is proved by the result ofthe recent

which freights between the two ports
have been reduced seven cents hun
dred pounds. One fact is worth any

The Brooklyn Tabernacle Burned.

The Brooklyn Tabernacle, the fourth
edifce in which Rev. Dr. Thomas De-
Witt Talmage has preached in Brook
lvn, was burned at noon yesterday 1t
was situated on the noriherly side OF
Green avenue AMI extended from Gin
ton avenue on the west to Waverly
avenue, 200 feet away. Adjoining the
church was the Hotel Regent, eight
stories in height. The fire spread from
the tabernacle TO this hotel and then to
the dwelling houses on Greene avenue
aud Waverly avenue, opposite the
church. The wind carried the blazing
cinders in such quantities in south
eastelly direction that dwelling houses
on Washington avenue, two squares
away, and also the Summerfield Meth
odist Church, were set on fire by them.
The greatest loss on any one of these
structures did not exceed So 900. The
total loss, however, reaches 81 900, 900.
The fire broke out soon after the close
Of the morning service and after some
search flames were discovered in the
rear OF the organ. The fire is supposed
TO have originated from an electric
light. The flames spread very rapidly,
50 quickly that some Of the trustees
were overcome, and had to be helped
out. 1t was nearly twenty minutes be-
fore the fremen arrived on the scene.
The church was doomed and every
effort was devoted to saving the adj
joining property. In three hours only
the bare walls of one of the costliest
structures of Brooklyn remained stand
ing.
The guests in the hotel lost no time
in making their escape. They waited
only to snach up a few valuables and
run, but wearing apparel and other
effects had to be left to- the greedy
flames.
There was not wanting dramatic in
cidents during the day. From the fifth
floor OF the house, Mrs. LOOMS, one of
the guests, and her newly-born babe
had to be carried down the fire escape
to the street. This was done success
fully, and mother and child were re-
moved to the Seney Hospital, where
they are said to be in no danger. Just
as Mrs. LOOMS had been rescued from
what might have been horrible death,
a woman appeared at window on the
eighth floor, frantically shrieking and
waving her hands TO the horror-strick-
en- crowd below. In less time than it
takes to write it, however, the woman,
who turned out to be the assistant
housekeeper, Mrs. Keene, was brought
down the fire escape in safety and re-
moved TO the house next door, where
she was taken care of and found to have
sustained no injury beyond the shock.
The board of trustees of the Taberna-
Gle last night held meeting at which
it was decided to rebuild the Taberna-
Gle. The trustees say that Mr.. Talmage
is to start on his trip around the world
as first intended.
The statement given out by the trus-
tees is that from the insurance, receipts
and money realized from the sale OF
land, they will pay ali debts. Within
year the work of rebuilding will be-
gin. They will sell the present land
where the fire occurred and move to
another site and buy it at cost of not
more than $4,000. DR.. Talmage will
start on his trip around the world to-
day. The Tabernacle was insured for
$4,000
