The annual banquet CT the Transporta-

its quarters on the top floor of the Man

evening. Senator Depew was to preside
over the banquet but was detained in
Washington. Those who were present at
the club refused to listen to any excuse
the Senator offered and he was asked to
make a speech. even though it be over the
telephone. This the Senator agreed to do.
ard he succeeded beyond all expectations

York end Of the wire ard each guest had

TuNlar I'm Exile.

One of the repeniant wretches who con-
fessed to his infamous share in the con-
spiracy which resulted in the murder of
the late Governor Goebel of Kentucky tes-
tilted that when the time and place for
the actual preparation OF the crime were
being discussed. Taylor exclaimed that it
was IAN awful thing to kill man. but
that Goebel ana his party had not hest
tated at means to accomplish their ends;
the inference being that in the circum-
stances the killing would be justifable.
Tayior's mind appears filled with awful
things. precs dispatch from Indianapo-
lis. dated May %. quotes him as saying:
1T is an awful thing to be exilcd from thc
nlacc Of nv birth. from the State that honorcd
me with its highest office, and frcra my wife and
children Yet i. know, as you know, that my
turn to Kentucky would mean that would be in
carccrated, with no chance OF bail, II, for that
matter exposed 10 assassins who have waited
opportunity TO Yrcak vengeance on me-"
This interesting and hysteiicel bandit is
rot particularly troubled with the vice of
adhesion to facts. He is not an exile, but
a refugee from the place OF his birth. Els
wife and children. none OF whom is charged
with felony or other offence. are free to
join him in his place of hiding from the
law. 1t is true that If caught in Kentucky
he would be incarcerated and would rot
be admitted to bail But all perscns
charged with the foul crime CT murder are
subjected TO that Inconvenience. II is
worthy of notice that Taylor is much per-
turbed on the subject of assassination
perhaps because 1t is one OF which he pcs
sesses expert knowledge. In his own case,
however he has and knows he has TO
reason for fear. The Commonwealth Of
Kentucky believes that it has too clear
and complete capital case against him
for any reyengeful Democrat to take the
chance of losing the benefit of the object
lesson he will present after a fair and i'm
partial trial. The only assassin Taylor has
any cause TO fear Is the public hangman.

ton organs which have been bowling

of the War.
James G. Stowe Consul General Of the
United States at Cape Town. has made n
report to the State Department, dated
April 13. giving many interesting facts
Illustrative OF the activity in that town
created by the war. The United States
consulate itself felt the pressure heavily.
The mail business was overwhelming. ow-
ing to the numerous applications to the
consulate from friends in the United States
of Americans who had drifted into South
Africa. Over eco such men came to Cape
Town on transports in charge OF mules and
looked to the American Consul General to
care for them.
Many of these men enlisted in the Brit
ish Army; some obtained positions OF va
rious kinds, and others were sent home
by the Consul General with funds supplied
by their friends in the United States
There was much work to do In seeing that
the mails for these persons reached them
and the consulate was required to readdress
over % 900 letters. Then there were re-
nittances Of money coming from all quar-
tiers for the relief OF prisoners Of war to
which the Consul General was expected TO
give his attention.
Mr. Stowe says that In the midst OF the
rush n coal famine occurred, owing IN part
to the closing of the coal mines By the
Beers. He is confident Of a large market
for American steam coal next year. mas
much as Welsh coal has been selling for
$40 and s25 per ton. The report states
that happy conclusion would socn be
reached Of the cases of seized American
goods on the Mashona. Beatrice. and Maria.
The consIgrees paid most Of the bills
drawn upon them so that with few excep-
TORS the possession OF the goods had
passed and the claims for delays must be
settled between the consignees in South
Africa and the Birth Government.

which are invited to consider the whole
matter of a restatement OF the doctrines
most surely believed among us and which
are substantially embodied in our Con-
fession Of Faith"
An hours intense and at times acris
monious discussion preceded the adoption
Of the report. Following the action on the
creed revision, after a spirited contest,
the Assembly elected Rev. William B.
Noble. d. D., OF Redlands, Cal, permanent
clerk.
The famous McGiffert case was disposed
of by the Rev. DR.. George W. F. Birch
Withdrawing his appeal after it had been
declared regular. The report of the Board
of Foreign Missions was the all important
order of business at the morning session.
1t was presented by the Rev. DR.. Charles
Cuthbert Hall. Of New York. DR.. Hall
said the board was operating in twelve
countries of the world and maintaining
127 stations, with las American men and
women acting as missionaries. The re-
ceipts of the board in 1899 were 1920, S25,
the largest contribution since 1896.
The committee stated that the amount
was not commensurate with the money
spent on home churches. DR.. Hall closed
his reading Of the report with an eloquent
plea that the Assembly endorse the rec
ommendation of the committee in declar-
ing for cooperation of the Presbyterian
Church with churches of other denomina-

GERS here are keeping a close watch for them
Some of the best experts in counterfeit money
in this city are in the cashiers office in the
custom house They have frequently detected
counterfeits that have passed through various
banks and through the post office man who
has been very successful in detecting counterfeit
money said last week that there many
counterfeit pennies in circu!ation that the max
ers OF these spurious small coins were either
Greeks or Italians. 1t would seem that the profit
in counterieiting copper cents would not be large
enough to pay, aside from the risks OF the work.
The detection Of counterfeit money is a matter
of intuition to experts who handle large sums
Of money. and when bill looks queer an eSami-
nation Of it under a maguifyins glass will quick
ly prove its character. All counterfeit money
which is detected at the custom house now is
seized and stamped counterfeit. II the man who
presents it has received Il from bank or from
a reliable person whb will make the loss good,
he may get ireceipt for it from the custom
