Eastern Tea Importers Oppose the
Appointment of an Inspector.
WASHINGTON, March 30-Secretary
Gage and Assistant Secretary Spaulding
gave a hearing today to Senator Davis,
Representative Stevens and a number Of
importers and jobbers in tea at ST. Paul
and Minneapolis, in favor Of the appoint
ment Of tea expert at st. Paul under
the provision of the pure tea act Of March
Q, 1897, as amended by the act Of June
13, 1893
Some weeks ago the department stated
Its purpose to appoint tea examiner at
ST. Paul. which, 1t is said, has developed
into an important tea distributing point.
subsequently numerous remonstrances
were received at the department from
the tea trade at New York and other
Eastern cities, against this appointment,
mainly on the ground that uniformity in
the tests could be secured only by limit
ing the examiners to the lowest possible
number The members of the government
board Of tea experts at New York also
reported against making st. Paul and
Minneapolis q tea examining point
The importers and jobbers in these
cities. however, insisted that there was
no more difficulty In arriving at uni
form and just conclusion as to the quail
ity of tea than there was in the ex-
animation Of wheat. and that under the
present arrangement they were being dis
criminated against in favor of Chicago
and the East.
The secretaries took the matter under
advisement
Those composing the delegation are: J..

DIR. KENNEDY GUILTY.

New York Man Convicted of the
80. Murder of Dolly Reynolds.
NEW YORK, March 31-The, jury In
the Kennedy trial brought in a verdict
of guilty of murder In the first degree
The jury came in at 2:25 o'clock this
morning (Friday). The verdict was
guilty of murder in the first degree
At the request of counsel for the de-
fense Justice Williams had the jury
polled, and the twelve men signified their
approval of the verdict as announced
The prisoner, Kennedy, was very cool
under the trying ordeal, and never NOV
ed a muscle. None of his relatives was
in court.
Justice Williams remanded Kennedy
to the Tombs, and said he would ad-
journ the court until o'clock this after
noon. at which time he will hear any
thing counsel may wish to bring to his
attention.
The prisoner was then led away by
the detectives, and the handful of spec
tators filed out of the court.
