SALARIES OF SCOTCH MINISTER'S.


Seattle. Nov. II, 1893.
To the Editor: In your issue OF this
morning you say. quoting from writer in
Gunton's Magazine, "In England. Scotland
and Wales the people have 10 support
state church. whether they belong TO it or
net" Allow me to say that as far as Scot
land is concerned. the above statement is
incorrect. The salaries, or '.stipends.'
paid TO ministers Of the Church OF Scot
land are drawn from the tithes or ',;einds''
levied upon certain lands in each parish.
These lands were originally the private
property of the church. but at the time OF
the Reformation they were forcibly appro-
priated by various members OF the nobility
and other powerful landholders. and were
held by them until they were compelled by
parliament to disgorge a certain proportion
Of the rents for the support Of the clergy
OF the Reformed church. These tithes, or
'teinds," have now formed a rent charge
on the lands for several hundred years.
so that they are IN 10 sense tax" upon
the owners. If the Church OF Scotland
were disendowed tomorrow, It's revenues
would simply De diverted to some other
national purpose, and the landowners would
not be relieved u any part Of the burden.
There Is paid annually out of the public
exchequer 8 sum Of about 50. 90 for the
benefit OF the poorer llvings In the High
lands and Islands, This however, Is TAX
en- out OF the income OF church property
ia the hands Of the crown. The people OF
Scotland as a whole do not pay one cent
toward the support OF the established
church, outside Of their voluntary contri-
buttons.

PORTER'S MISSION TO CUBA.
ENTIRELY OF FINANCIAL AND
STATISTICAL NATURE.
May Collect Information Regard
ing Cuban Troops, but is Not
Empowered to Pay Them.

WASHINGTON, Jan. 31.-It is
learned at the War Department that
Robert P. Porter's mission 10 Cuba is
entirely of a financial and statistical
nature, and that he is not empowered
to make any payment to the Cuban
troops. 1t is admitted thar he may
find it within the lines of his duty
while in Cuba collecting this informa-
ton to gather all the data he can re-
specting the strength and condition of
the Cuban troops.
Touching Mr.. Quesada's mission to
General Gomez's headquarters under
Instructions from President Palma of
the junta, the officials preserve a dis
Greet silence, but it seems entirely
probable that if our Government finds
it expedient to make any proposition
to Gomez touching the pay CT Cuban
soldiers, that Mr. Quesada would be
the instrument chosen for that pur
pose, not only because of his intimacy
with Gomez and the Cuban leaders,
but also because of his executive ability
The best information obtaiuable at
the department, and perhaps it is part
of Mr.. Porter's duty to verify this, is
that the Cuban troops who might
properly apply for money in case it
should be decided to pay them off
number 10000. 1t is probable it was
by basing a calculation of 500 per
man upon this number that people in
Havana concluded that Mr. Porter was
to disburse $3,000,OO0 for this purpose.
1t is we'll understood that the demand
by the Cuban troops on account of
back pay is fully ten times this
amount. 1t PROBABLY will be repre-
scented to them that as any payment
on this account must be charged up
against the island of Cuba, the United
States as the temporary guardian of
the island is in duty bound to avoid
burdening it at the very outset of its
incipiency with a load beyond it's ability
to bear in the shape of obligations. The
Cuban soldiers will be asked to take
this sum as a payment on account,
leaving the future Government of Cuba
to address to- the remuneration later
precedent to this first payment will be
a solemn promise to disband at once.
The officials here believe that General
Brooke has very wisely settled the diff
ficulty that arose at Santiago over the
desire of the people there to retain all
of the customs receipts by retaining
90 per cent. of the total receipts for
the benefit of the General Government
of the island, and alloting the re-
mainder not to Santiago alone, but to
all the ports of the province If the
arrangement works as we'll as it is
hoped it will be extended to the other
provinces of Cuba.

FRANCE NEGOTIATING A LOAN.
Wants Ten Million Pounds for
Army and Navy Purposes.

LONDON, Jan. 31.-The est. James
Gazette" says the French Government
is negotiating with French and Brit
ish financiers for loan of fS, 100000 to
f1O.OOO,0O0 to be devoted to army and
navy purposes.
According to the est. James Gazette
it is the intention of Francs to increase
her navy during the year, and her army
will also receive attention, including
the Introduction of a quick-firing gun.
The "St James Gazette further as
serts that it learns from a trustworthy
source that orders already have been
given to English firms and that 9TH
ers are to follow. The paper adds:
France, naturally, is in favor of MAIN
tanning cordial relations with England
within the next few months, in order
to secure financial help in this country
So far the loans arranged in London
are only in the most embryonic condi-
ton, and the proposals are looked at in
a lukewarm manner
