An Elephant Killed.

BRIDGEPORT Conn.,, March 16.-The un.
ruly elephant, Zip, belonging to the Barnum
and Bailey show, was strangled to death at
the winter quarters of the circus here this
morning. Efforts to poison Tip yesterday by
conccaling capsules containing large quantl
ties of cyanide of potassium were futile. This
morning it was decided to resort to the old
fashioned way of killing elephants namely, that
of strangulation or hanging. Tip was chained
in his quarters, his feet being heavily mana
cled, and his head held down firmly. A tackle
was rugged on the side Of the building. 4
slip moose was thrown over Tips neck and
then fifty men grasped the rope and pulled
the great animal away from the side of the
building Soon he was on his side with the
moose taut about his neck. A few gasps fol.
lowed and little later it was seen that no
was dead. From the time that the strain was
begun until death one minute and half
had elapsed. Tip was twenty-five years old,
having belonged TO the show twenty years.
He weighed three and a half tons

AGAINST BISHOP MALLALIEU.-The
regular weekly meeting of the Metho-
dist Episcopal ministers of Baltimore,
yesterday morning did not have one
dull minute, all of which was due to a
resolution introduced at the open
ing which condemned 1.-THE ut
terances of some of the church
offic ais" at the recent confer
ence, held in the Eutaw Street Church,
in reference to the South and the Con-
federete flag. The resolution mention
ed no names, and was objected to by o
number because it was too general.
During the debate Rev. DR.. John Lana
han gained the floor and spoke as fol-
lows: "Mr. President, l think that we
should not be afraid to mention the
name of Bishop Mallalieu, as he is the
one to whose words we wish to take
exception. I, therefore, offer this sub
stitute:
"That the recent utterance of Bishop
Mallalieu concerning the Confederate
flag is his own, and does not represent
the sentiment of the Baltimore confer
ence."
After some debate the substitute was
adopted by good majority. A COM
mittee was appointed to send copy OF
the resolution to the Bishop.
Many of the ministers were loud in
their denunciation of Bishop Mallalieu's
remark, saying that it was unwise
and very detrimental to preachers hav-
ing charges in the border State.

here that until the powers shall decide
upon the appointment of a governor

pointed to act in that capacity in the
name of the European powers and the
Porte.
LONDON, March 16.--A dispatch
from Athens says that since the action
of the powers in ordering the beginning
of coercive measures against Greece,
the popular determination that the
Greek army of occupation shall never
be withdrawn from Crete has become
stronger than ever. The people are
unanimous in this matter.
LONDON, Mar. 16.-Answering q
question by the Earl of Kimberley,
late minister of foreign affairs, in the

munication or to encourage debate on
the subject"

British troops were ordered to Crete
from that station to-day.

Extension of the seaboard Line

BALTIMORE, Md, March 16.-The
elaborate plans of extension OF the Sea-
board Air Line system to reach Wash
ington on the north and New Orleans
on the south, are attracting consider
able attention. Some interests regard
the contemplated move as a "bluh" de-
signed to bring the Southern Railway
to terms and put an end to the fight
existing between the two systems.
Many fnanciers, however, say that the
scheme proposed is plausible and will
be carried out if sufficient capital can
be enlisted. After reaching Richmond
a traffic alliance is proposed with the
Richmond, Fredericksburg and Poto-
mac Railroad for the haul of its trains
to Quantico. Entrance into Washing
ton would be the next move, and
traffic alliance with the Baltimore and
Ohio Railroad has been seriously sug-
gested. With the carrying out of a
scheme of this kind the Seaboard would
become formidable system and would
take much larger share of the traffic
movement from the east to she south.

TUEsDAy EVENING. MAR 1e, 1897

PRESIDENT MCKINLEY, as his prede-
cessor once did at the opening OF ses-
sion of Congress, sent message to that
body Yesterday, printedin the GAZETTE
of that date, confined entirely to one
subject, the tariff: but, unlike that Of
his predecessor, it was in favor OF high
while that of Mr.. Cleveland recon-
mended low duties. 1t is evident from
this that Mr.. Mckinley is intent upon
repaying the rich protected manufac'
turers the amount of the contributions
thew made to the enormous corruption
fund by means of which his election
was secured, by enabling them to add
the increased tariff rates to the price OF
their products, and thereby double
their profits, at the expense ofthe poor
tax ridden people who are compelled to
buy them. But, as the votes of the poor
people Of the North elected him, those
people should bear their increased bur
dens without murmur.
