MARYLAND VEsTRY ACT.
Apparently Repealed by the Proposed
New District Code

Representative Jenkins of Wisconsin, who
is in charge of the rev District code, now
pending in the House. has received a letter
fIom Mr.. Arthur 5. Browne of this city,
who says:
In looking over the proposed new code
of the District of Columbia. the bill for
which is in your charge, several gentlemen,
members of the Protestant Episcopal
Church. in this city. have noted that it ap-
parently repeals the Maryland vestry act
of 1I9S, under which the said church is
governed in the District of Columbia, and
also the acts of the legislative assembly of
the District of Columbia amendatory there
of. The Episcopal Church in the District
of Columbia has no desire whatever to have
these acts repealed, but. on the contrary,
regards them as of the very highest value
and Importance. | have no doubt that II
was not the intention of the trainers of the
code. or of the House committee, to repeal
these acts
1T is thought by several gentlemen of
our church that the repeal chapter of the
proposed code should contain an additional
exception to those already recited to the
effect that the code does not repeal the
laws referred to-

GEN. GOMEZ IN SANTIAGO.
He Angers the Whites by Recogniz.
ing the Black Party.

A dispatch from Santiago de Cuba yester-
day saws: The reception rendered to Gen.
Maxine Gomez to day on his way to Santo
Domingo caused great excitement, owing to
the efforts of the white and black parties to
obtain the first recognition. The black
party. represented by the Cubano Libre,
which continues occasional publication in
defiance of the orders aof the authorities,
who had directed its suppression, sent a
tug to meet the steamer Maria Herrera at
quarantine and succeeded in inducing Gen.
Gomez to accompany them.
Meanwhile, another tug, carrying the civil
governor, Gen. Castillo, the mayor and
other officials representing the dominant
white party, was entirely ignored by Gomez.
The black party, highly elated, took the
guest to the landing. Where an immense
crowd gathered onithe trail private wharf
of a local boat club. This collapsed and
many were thrown in the water, one man
being drowned.
The official party declined to recognize
Gen. Gomez in consequence Of his recogni-
ton of the black party, and thee is con-
siderable excitement.
When the procession passed through the
city without either civil governor or mayor
rioting was narrowly prevented by the
vigorous action of the police under Ameri-
can officers.
This afternoon all the clubs gave recep-
tions to Gen Gomez, but the white party
refused to attend any of them

MARCH EXPECTATIONS.
Larger Than Those of Any Corre.
pOndinE Month in Our Histarx

Mafch expectations are larger than those
OF any corresponding month in our history
anu double the average for the month of
tu"rch uurlnS the decade ending with 1896
1he total exports Of the month as shown
py the figures just reported by the treas
ury bureau of statistics, are S134 4313 31S
against S1o4 559,6s9 in March of last wear
S1o,514 ,1s5 in March, 1896, and SsG 516 ~ In
March, 1893. Thus the exportations Of
March, 1900 are more than double those Of
March, 1898, and % per cent greater than
those of March of last year and. as already
stated, are larger than those of any pre
cedlng March in our history Indeed the
reports of the bureau of statistics show
but one month December, 1s9sl in the
history of the export trade of the United
States in which the total expectation was
as large as that of March 1900 the month
OF December usually being the heaviest ex-
port month of the year
Not only are the March, 1900 exports tbe
heaviest in the history of our foreign COM
merce, but the total for the nine months
ending with March is also greater than
mat OF any corresponding nine months in
the history of our exports. The total ex-
Portatlons in the nine months ending with
March, 1859, are 81 ,053, So SO against
S94i ,9lo,4O in the corresponding months of
last year, S925 800. .326 in the CORRESPONDING
months of 1897 and $515, 400 ,635 in the cor
lespoildilS months OF lSS6, having TINS
doubled in fifteen years and increased over
o3 per cent since 1896
The steady Increase in expectations is the
more remarkable in view of the fact that
exports of agricultural products are only
ABOUT the same as those of the correspond
ing months of last year, the notable in
crease OF more than 100000 900 in the nine
months in question being largely in man
fractures. In the eight months ending with
February Che details for March NOT vet
being completely the exports of agricul-
tural products were practically the same as
those OF the corresponding eight months OF
the preceding year, while those of manufac-
lures showed an increase of S6I, ,09o0oa
These astonishing figures of the March
expectations make it apparent that the
total exports of the fiscal year 1900 will
exceed those of any preceding year in our
history, since for the nine months of the
1scal year for which the figures are now at
hand the total exports are $1O5 900 900
greater than those of the CORRESPONDING
months of any preceding year 1t seems
probable that the total exports of the wear
will reach s1,3OOOOO0OO and that manurac-
lures will supply fully s4OO, ,OO0 900 of this
vast sum-
Imports also show a marked increase over
last year, the principal increase being in
manufacturers materials which in the
eight months ending with February We're
s6O,Vo,OOO greater than in the corresponding
months of the preceding year, while man
ufactured articles for use in the mechanic
arts also showed increase of over 500
