INEFFECTIVE PROTEST.
Made a Scene at the Sitting of the Archi-
episcopal Court.

London. May 9.-There was a scene
at to-day's sitting of the archiepisco-
pal court which convened on yester-
day for hearing of the charges of
ritualistic practices against the Rev.
Henry Westall, vicar of S.. Cuthbert's,
Philbeach Gardens, and the Rev. John
Ram, vicar of the Church of st. John,
Timberhill, Norwich.
During the proceedings John kensit,
the noted anti-ritualist, arose from his
seat at the back of the guard room of
Lambeth palace. where the court is
sitting. and shouted: Il wish to pro-
test against the holding of this court. y
Mr.. kensit then began to read a
written protest against the so-called
spiritual court, and especially against
an inquiry by your grace, who for
years have deliberately set at naught
your solemn ordination VOWS and al
lowed and often promoted well known
lawbreakers in the church"
A storm of Kisses greeted the pro-
test and the archbishop of Canterbury
the Most Reverend Frederick Temple,
cut Mr.. Kensit short by adjourning the
court for luncheon, amid cheers and
derisive laughter.

DEAD MANS ISLAND.
The Dominion Government Will Sup
port Ludsate's Rights.


Vancouver, B. c., May 9.--Affairs re-
garding Dead Mans island grow more in
teresting as the result of an interchange
of kilograms between the provincial and
dominion governments. Attorney General
Martin wired Ottawa asking If Ludgate' s
action In taking possession Of the island
was done with federal authority. He said
the provincial government was in possess
Sion and he would be sorry to see a col
lision between the two governments. Dr.
F. w. Borden, minister of military, re-
Piled as follows:
Collision between the two governments
is unnecessary. This government will be
governed by facts as to ownership. The
island being in the peaceable possession of
this government and lease having been
granted and accepted in good faith this
government expects the terms of the lease
to be respected by whichever authority Is
ultimately shown to be the owner of the
same
Ludgate. lessee of the island, has re-
ceiVed telegram from G. w. Maxwell
member of parliament for the city of Of
tawa who reiterates that the dominion
government will vindicate his rights.
Therefore, Ludgate declares he will not
relnquish his position. 1t will probably
be several months before the controversy
is settled.

After the armistice had been agreed
upon the rebels left the forts singing
war songs of the vanquished.
The country is being secured by the
British and American soldiers in search
of lead from which the natives might
make bullets.
A British planter who has been a
prisoner in the hands of the rebels for
six weeks has arrived at Apia. His
experiences during his captivity We're
frightful. Many times the rebels
threatened to behead him.
Captain Sturdee, the ranking Brit
ish naval officer here, in company with
missionary, went through the rebels
line unmolested. They found every
thing quiet, pending the arrival of the
joint commissioners, who are to ar

asked if, in view of British Columbia $
offer 10 hear one-ninth of the cost of the
Pacific cable. the government would re-
consider its own proposition and endeavor
to bring them in harmony with the wishes
of the Canadian and Australian govern
ments. The secretary for the colonies,
Mr.. Joseph chamberlain. said that he had
not yet received the replies of the colonial
governments, but that if representations
were made on their behalf with reference
to Great Brtain's offer they would be
carefully considered.

CROP STATISTICS.
Winter Grain Conditions Are. on the
Whole, Very Favorable.


Washington, May 9.-The grain crop
statistics which supplement the recent
winter grain show that the winter grain
conditions al most everywhere in Eu-
rope are favorable. Russia reports
complain of deficient grain, but the
general condition Is represented as sat
isfactory. Little if any harm seems to
have been done by the Gevere cold
weather in March in the Western coun-
try, and reports of spring cultivation,
the prospects are favorable.
Roumana reports 1898 wheat. 5S, 456-
904 bushels; rye. 1888. .6SS: maise. So. 000,-
900. This is a large gain over 1887
Austria reports the 1898 wheat crop at
46,400000 bushels. Italy's wheat crop
for 1898 is officially put at 1891 900
bushels. In Argentina the area under
wheat for 1S9S-99, from which the crop
was recently gathered, has been official
ly estimated at 6,150,319 acres, and the
aggregate product is unofficially est-
mated at 10000 900 bushels The United
States minister at Buenos Ayres reports
that the quality of the wheat crop was
fairly good and the yield extraordinary.
The maize crop now gathering is like
wheat. a good one In the United
Kingdom the increase in the wheat
crop over that for 1897 was 1SOSS. 32t
bushels percentage of increase, nearly
three times as great in production as in
the United States.

A MONSTER TESTIMONIAL
VIII BE Presented to Dewey When He
Gets Home.

Washington. May 9.--Admiral Dew
ey upon his return to the United
States, is to be presented monster
testimonial consisting of autograph
letters from nearly every member OF
President Mckinley's cabinet, COVER
norS of states and prominent United
States senators The secretary of the
treasury says in his written opinion OF
Dewey that he regards him as one of a
galaxy of men who have made the
American name honorable and illus
trious. The secretary of state writes
that no artificial commemoration OF
such a victory is at all needed to pre-
serve it forever in the American heart.
The secretary of the navy expresses
similar views. The secretary of agri-
culture says that Dewey in a day added
an archipelago to the possessions of the
United States.
While Admiral Dewey will be the re-
cipient of many honors on his return
home. this testimonial will be the first
written evidence extended to him of the
very widespread sentiment and graft
tude on the part of Americans for the
victory of Manila.

MUST HAVE CERTIFICATES.
1t viii Take Six Months to Get the
Mines to Running.

Wallace. Idaho, May 9.-To- day 90
tices have been posted throughout the
Canyon creek district requiring all men
working under ground to secure a GER
tificate of good character from Coroner
France outside of the mines at Ward
ner none are making pretense of
working except the Helena Frisco
where most of one shift was left when
the arrests We're made there.
Probably most of them will receive
permits allowing the mine to work, but
the other mines will have to wait until
an acceptable class of men come in. AS
far as known no mine operator will at
tempt to import men in bodies, but all
are anxious to secure men who can get
permits. There are no hopes of run
ming a full force in all the mines for six
months or more.
County Commissioner Stimson has
been placed under guard with Commits
sioner Boyle and Sheriff Young.

BILL ACCEPTABLE.
Will Not Interfere With the Negotiations
Now in Hand,

NOW IN Hand.
Washington, May 9-In the highest
German quarters it is stated there is
no doubt whatever that the German
government will be able to command
the requisite majority to pass the gov
ernment measure relating to the in
spectlon OF meats, foreign and domes-
tic. now before the reichstag, and for
this reason there is said to be no
ground for the apprehension expressed
IN this country that the adverse action
upon the bill in committee would pref
udlce the negotiations between the
United States and Germany. The bill
now pending in the rechstag is to a
considerable extent the result of ne
gotiations between Berlin and Wash
lngton and is acceptable to the gov
ernment authorities on both sides as
well to the American meat industry.
The German government has never
doubted its ability to pass the measure
IN the reichstag, and it is said the ad-
verse action of committee in no sense
changes the governments plans or
serves to show that the bill will fail
when it reaches the chamber. On the
contrary, the government expects to
carry the measure by large vote. the
only adverse element it is asserted, be-
ing made up of the socialists extreme
agrarlans and those known as the
wild" members. The aggregate of
this opposition is said to be far short
of sufficient to interfere with the gov
ernment plans. For the present. how
ever the government bill will not be
pushed, as time is desired to allow this
new outbreak of agrarian sentiment to
pass over.
In the best informed of the German
quarters, it is felt that even the tenn
porary reserve in committee would not
have occurred had it not been for the
inopportune appearance of the report
of the court of inquiry which had been
looking into the matter of the meat
furnished the American army.

LUMBER AND BOUNTY
The Two Obstacles in the Way of Reach
ing an Agreement.


Washington, May all hope of re-
convening the joint American-Canadian
commission in August has been aban-
doned. The conference adjourned after
having made good headway, as it was
thought at the time, toward the draft
ing of an agreement. Owing to an eX-
pected and insurmountable obstacle in
the shape of the lumber and bounty
questions, the joint conference ad-
journed to meet in August with the
understanding that in the meantime
the governments of the two countries
would test public sentiment. 1t was
also hoped that some of the difficulties
that had presented themselves in the
way of the conclusion of the work of
the conference might in the interim
be removed by diplomatic negotiations
1t has now been demonstrated how
ever. that the temper of neither side
has yielded sufficiently to warrant the
expectation of any successful result
attending the reconvening of the COM
mission.
1t is said that our officials are thor
oughly discouraged at the tme-con
suming manner in which various prop
ositions that have been put forward
are banded back and forth between
London and Ottawa.

lNGLESlDE RACING.
Police Department Exceeded Its Author
ity in Making the Raid.

ny III Tie nalu.
San Francisco, May 9.-The police de-
partment received somewhat of a set
back when Superior Judge Murasky
decided that Chief Lees and his men
had exceeded their authority in break
ing into the Inglesde race track and
arresting bookmakers and confiscating
property without due process of the
law
The case of the Pacific Coast Jockey
club against Chief of Police Lees ct
al. was decided by his honor by the
issuance of an injunction restraining
the defendants from entering the prem
ises of the plaintiff without it's con-
sent, except in the manner provided by
law, and while engaged in the perfor
nance of their duties as police officers
of the city and county of San Fran
cisco.
In thus deciding in the Jockey clubs
favor Judge Murasky does not pass
upon the question of the validity or in
validity of the anti-betting ordinance
to enforce which the raids of the 14th
of March last and following days were
made. A decision by Judge Groesinger
to-day will doubtless have the effect
of throwing the Ingleside race track
open to betting'and racing again, tenn
purarily at least. Judge Groesnger
held that the 81 cases of violation of
the anti-racing ordinance were Illegally
presented and dismissed the entire
batch from the calendar. Yesterday
Judge Groesinger held that the city or
dinance against gambling was illegal
for the reason that the minutes of the
board of supervisors We're Improperly
kept and the fact that the minutes
were not kept in legal form compelled
him to take the action he did to-day.
1t is a question whether or not all the
acts of the board are not Illegal for
the same reason.

royal yacht Victoria and Albert at Penn
broke this afternoon. After the usual
prayers the duchess severed a cord and
the yacht glided into the water amid vo-
ciferous cheering. The scene attending
the launching was one of the gayest i'm
aginable. The docks, the neighborng
buildings and all the vessels in the harbor
were elaborately decked with flags and
bunting. Among thn spectators were
many naval and military officers and
members of the civil government uniform
ed in their robes of office. There was an
enormous concourse of people in and
about the yards and the greatest enthusi-
asm was manifested.

Hunting for the Cotton.

Sandy Hook, n. j.. May "a 15-inch
Rodman gun was exploded this afternoon
by a charge of 100 rounds of smokeless
powder. The gun was buried in the prov
ing ground Is feet in the sand and the dis
charge was made by electricity. The men
are endeavoring to Ind out what has be-
come of the shell containing 100 pounds of
gun cotton, to which a Gathman safety
fuse was attached. The Gathman people
claim that the gun cotton would be re-
covered in perfect condition. even if the
gun and shell We're exploded. The test
was to show the safety of handling gun
cotton in gun fired by powder charges.

famous 81 per car terminal charge
Judge kohlsaat of the United States

levy of 81 on every car of livestock de-
livered to the yards by the roads en-
tering the city from the West was un-
reasonable and granted the govern
ment's prayer for an injunction to re-
strain the transportation companies
from collecting it. The enjoining order
was issued on a ruling of the inter-

tax was too high.
The railroad companies will be given

cision or appeal the case to the next
