ROCKEFELLER WINS
I'm "a Suit Brought by the Baptist
Tabernacle.

NEW YORK, Feb. Judge Pryor today
handed down decision in favor of John d.
Rockefeller dismissng the suit brought
against him by the Baptist Tabernacle church
to compel the performance Of an alleged con-
tract, by the terms Of which Mr.. Rockefeller
a trustee the interest to be applied for the
benefit of the church. The bonds were de-
posted by Mr.. Rockefeller as required but
after they had paid interest for eighteen
months the railroad company that issued
them defaulted in the payment of the inter-
est, and since then the church has received
nothing. Rev. Or. D. c. Potter, on behalf of
the church, sued to compel Mr.. Rockefeller
to pay about &c. 600 interest which had accrued
on the bonds and make good the alleged
agreement
In Diminishing the suit, Justice Pryor holds
that in substance and effect the transaction
between Mr.. Rockefeller and the church was
a gratuity, and as such was not the subject
of a suit for specific performance and that
the church did not prove that there was
contract between it and Mr.. Rockefeller.

TETUAN STRONGLY OBJECTED
To Concessions Asked by United
States Minister Taylor.


States Minister Taylor.
MADRID, Feb. 1.-Correspondencia
Espana reports that the disagreement
alleged to have taken place between
Hannis Taylor, United States minister
to Spain, and the Spanish minister Of
foreign affairs, the Duke of Tetuan, is
due to two causes. First, it is stated
that Minister Taylor wanted the Gu
ban tariff reforms, which, he claimed,
were of especial interest to the United
States, published at the same time as
the political reforms. This the Span
ish government opposed. The second
cause is said to have been of a more
serious nature, for, it is asserted, the
American government, not content
with the adoption of tariff schedules
favoring foreigners generally, wanted
a special tariff discriminating in favor
Of American goods. To this the Duke
of Tetuan strenuousiy objected, ufg-
ing that the consent of the other pow
ers could not be obtained to an agree
ment of this character.
