BALTIMORE, May 12.-Alfred l. Hart,
and Baltimore tobacco firms during
the last two and half years. travelling
through China. Japan. India, and the
Straits Settlements. also visiting Manila,
has arrived home .
Mr.. Hart stopped few days at the Paris
Exposition. Il was surprised, he sad last

withstanding that it has been opened
twelve days Neither the interior nor the
exterior of any of the buildings had been
completed. The exhibits were stacked up
on the outside of the buildings. Several
Americans who returned on the same
steamer with me seemed thoroughly sap
pointed. a gentleman from Boston stated
ne would not go from Boston to New York
to see such an affair.
Mr.. Hart said that when he passed
through Bombay 10000 refugees from the
famine stricken districts were being shell
tered in the public grounds of the city.
Mr.. Hart spent considerable time last
summer in Manila. He says he succeeded
in opening up a good business there for a
firm which he represents and which deals
in machinery for drying tobacco. There
are eight prominent tobacco factories, he
stated. in Manila, but the manufactures in
tobacco thera are confined entirely to Gig
arettes and cigars. Chewing and smoking
tobaccos are imported from America and
used only by the American soldiers. An
American firm in Manila that HIS had the
exclusive carteen trade of the American
army Mr.. Hart says. has displayed such
enterprise that during the past two years
il has amassed a fortune.

WOOL REsH1pPED AT SEA.
Treasury Agents Unearth n Clever
Smuggling scheme.

BOSTON. May Especial Treasury
agents have discovered that, as near as
they can estimate. fully $4,000 worth of
Canadian wool has been, smuggled into this
country through the port>uf Boston the past
year. The tariff ranges from 12 cents to
SO cents per pound.
Special Employe Bum, who is stationed
at Eastport, Me. as the Treasury Depart
ment watchdog. learned some months ago
that large quantities of wool were being
shipped from the provinces via St John to
Grand Manan Island, off the Eastport coast.
Grand Manan is a British possession There
are no wool duties on the island, and II
appeared to the Treasury representative
q little peculiar.
He made many trips to the island and
found that the wool was loaded onto Brit
ish steamers. He shadowed the steamers
and found that they were met at sea by
American steamers. which took the wool
OF and landed 1t on the Maine coast. where
ii was teamed TO a railroad and loaded
aboard freights cars and then sent over the
railway to various New England points

Terminate the Reccivership.
NEW YORK, May 12.-The Third Ave
nue. Railroad it was learned on good au-
thority today, will probably become part
of the Metropolitan Street Railway system
and be operated as such before the 1st
of June. The receivership may be termi-
mated before that time and the claims
against the Third Avenue line settled by
the Metropolitan people. Some difficulty
may attend this, but it is understood that
the Metropolitan Company has provided
for any that may. arise.
The stockholders of the Third Avenue
road. it is expected, will ratify this change
within a week. They were notified to meet
today at p. m. in the offices of the
company at Sixty-frst Street and Third
Avenue. to vote upon the proposition to
issue a mortgage on the property and
franchises of the road to the Morton Trust
Company, as trustee for the purpose of
securing S5O,000G00 bond issue. This
bond issue is part of the plan of reorgan-
iZation agreed upon by the directors of
the two companies To ratify it the con-
sent of stockholders owning at least two
thirds of the stock must be obtained. The
VI tuiiii'hiiy tapVNt thdt tut
proposition will be ratified by a much
larger vote than this.
On Thursday of next week the stock
holders will meet again for the purpose
of voting on the lease of the Third Ave
nue. Road to the Metropolitan. and no diff
ficuity is expected in having 1t ratified.
The principal matter affecting the ter
mination of the receivership is the settling
of claims against the Third Avenue. The
creditors of the road have until May 22 TO
file their claims. AS a matter OF course
the creditors put in claims for as large
, amounts as possible, with the understand
ing that they will be adjusted by the
courts. The question is whether they
could be settled as directly and as easily
by the creditors and the Metropolitan Com
pany.

the excitement was intense. A hundred

was only by desperate efforts that Culkns
managed TO hold on to his prisoner. Sew

officers were compelled to use their clubs
before the crowd would give ground and
allow Myers to be placed in the patrol

When locked up at West North avenue

that he had thrown no eggs at Mr.. Bryan
personally, and had no intention whatever
OF hitting him. He declared that in his
