pamnro caused By n Huge Wave.

New York, March 1.-The Cunard Line steamship Umbria from Liverpool,
 which dropped anchor in Quarantine at 80 D. m, yesterday, several hours
 behind time, came up the bay this morning and reached her pier at S:30 o'clock. She had been delayed by rough weather, which lasted nearly the entire trip. The forward portion of the promenade deck in the vicinity of hte bridge showed rough usage. Her battered condition, was the result of a huge wave, which boarded the vessel last Wednesday afternoon. It smashed the forward portion of the captain S cabin, poured through the doors of the room after completely flooding it. and then continued down the saloon stairway, drenching a number of cabin passengers who were sitting in the sa- loon Captain Dutton was in his room at the time. He was knocked about but escaped without serious injury. His personal effects were all ruined. The great wave struck the vessel on the starboard bow near the lighthouse. It twisted the iron railing of the for ward bridge and tore the rail from the forward portion of the promenade deck The agent said this morning that the damage would amount to $1 ,000.

1REAsURr,s CONDITION.
An Element of Uncertainty Has Now to be
 Considered.

NOnSlueFeus
 Washington, March 1.-The treasury condition for the first third of March shows the receipts to have aggregated $9,325,000 and the expenditures $11 S54,- 0OO or an excess of expenditures over receipts of $2,O29OOO.
 An element of uncertainty, not here tofore entering into treasury calcula- tions. has now to be considered. It is the large sums appropriated by con- gress in the deficiency appropriation bills and sundry civil appropriation bills. Many of these items are made immediately available and the payment to-day of $615,000 on the "civil and mis- cellaneous" accounts shows that some of them have begun to reach the cash ier's desk
 The customs receipts show a contin- ued and sustained improvement, being for the fiscal year up to date $1O5, ,OS7, 444, or nearly million dollars more than for the same time last year. Internal revenue receipts are $5, 5,000 GOO in excess of this time last year, but improvement in both sources of receipts must be shown for the last third of the fiscal year, or government revenues for the entire fiscal year will fall considerably below the estimates.
 The treasury gold reserve at the close of business to-day stood at 5000 608 a gain since yesterday of $2S0,63.

CHINA AGREES TO PEACE. ALL POINTS SHALL INCLUDE THE
 INDEPENDENCE OF COREA.

There is Ostensible Harmony as to China's
 Attitude Toward Japan--A Correspondent
 Denies the Report That China Has Ac-
 ceded to the Demands of Japan.
 London, March 1.-The Times corre- spondent in Pekin says: China, through United States Ministers Denby and Dun, has agreed that the points to be discussed at the peace conference with Japan shall include the independence, of Corea, the accession of territory, the payment of such an indemnity as the envoys may determine.
 There is ostensible harmony among the high officials here as to China's at titude toward Japan, for the abandon ing of the war policy is now generally recognized as the only possible course.
 The Central News correspondent in Shanghai confirms the above dispatch as to the status of the negotiations be- tween the countries for peace confer ence. He denies the report that China has acceded to Japan's demands and is ready to sign the present treaty of peace. He adds:
 Li Hung Chang will leave Tientsin on March IA to fulfill his mission. There is great doubt whether or not he will suc- ceed in reaching an agreement with, the Japanese as to the terms of peace. Y

property and upon every person in re- spect of these things relating to prop erty to It's existence, such as values | and incomes Indirect taxes are all the rest of 1t, as described by the constitu- ton and by Blackstone excises and inn posts and such, which are heavy or | light upon each person according to his own will.
 Justice Shiras asked him to give his definition of excise tax
 To this Mr. Edmunds responded that he would read one which he hoped would not give offense-he had taken it from Sam Johnson. Naughter9 He read the latter's definition that an ex- else is a hateful tax, imposed not so much for the benefit of the nation as of him who collects it. Seriously, how ever counsel stated that he would give the meaning of the excise as defined by Jacobs in his law dictionary in existence at the time the constitution was framed. It was that an excise was an inland lmpost on the consumption of the com modity which may be assessed upon the retail stage which is the last stage of consumption
 Coming then to the question of uni- formity MT E6munds stated in reply to questions by Justices Harlan and White that the word uniformity" in the fifth amendment to the constitution meant equal and that the use of the phrase equal and uniform" in many constitu tions were mete tautology.
 Just as the phrase was In the origi- nal draft of the federal consi u!ion. The word equal was stricken out, not by a committee on revision, but by a committee on style"
 Mr. Edmunds then appealed to the court to protect the people from ;he effects cs evil or ill-a6v!S2d legislation for which purposes 1t was organized.
 It being 3:3O o'clock AtGrnsy General Olney, wEo was then to s2eak, stated that as he would reeuire an hour 10 finish his remarks ha desired to ask the court either to give him the neces- sary extension of time after 4 o'clock or permit him to begin in the morr'n". Chief Justice Fuller said rtsrrogatiye- ly;
 T suppose counsel will be able to con clude the arYument to-morrow2"
 Mir. J. c. Carter, who Is to follow the attorney general ana close the case in favor oe the law, said he would re- qulre at least two hours, and Mir. Joseph Choate, the last speaker, sad he would need more than two hours,
 Well" annornccd the chief justice, after consulting with his ase eiates, i've vii adjourn now" and 4 was cone

Madrid, March 11.-El Liberal, com menting on the promise of the move ment to prevent tilibustering expedi- tions leaving the United States for Cuba, says that the fact that the Span ish government has obtained this prom ise proves that if the Spanish diplomatic representations continue, the United States will grant more effective demon strations of neutrality, which, accord ing to El Liberal, in the present case ought not tc be limited to ''platonic in- difference" The paper adds: For all purposes of coping with filibusterers, American territory should be a prolon- gation of Spanish soil,

DESTIrU1IoN IS INCREASING.
There Are Many Sad Cases About St. Johns
 Aid Pouring In.

St. Johns, N. F., March 1.-The goods for the relief of the suffering poor which were brought here by the steamer Grand Lake from Boston few days ago, have all been landed and stored free of cost and were being distributed to-day. The opinion of the committee in charge is that the quality of the goods was never excelled in St. Johns. The amounts for distribution in out ports are being carried to their des- tintion by the railroads free of cost. The number of destitute families is increasing daily and the reports are to effect that many are in utter desti- tuition.
 A despatch from small settlement on the southwest coast signed by the parish priest was received here to-day stating that forty families were starv- ing there and there was nothing to give them. The dispatch also asked that assistance be sent them imme- diately. This same condition exists Tn nearly all the eastern districts. There are about two thousand eight hundred families in St. Johns and it's suburbs who are in distress and are being as- sisted by the relief committee as much as possible
 The clerical relief committee to-day adopted resolutions of thanks to the people of Boston and of New England for their haste in replying to the ap- peal for assistance with such magni- fcent donation of foood.
