derful crop of wheat and fax. Reports

uncIaimed .nIonex..

Nearly every bank of old establish
ment has on deposit sums of unclaimed
money. The aggregate of all these
sums. If it could be told, would aston
ish the world. These moneys in the
Bank OF England are estimated vari-
ously. some placing the aggregate
amount at less than $5O0,000 and some
at many times that sum. In the Bank
of England. as in all banks in this
country and in England. the total
amount is made up of small sums. Ac-
cording to law. the Bank Of England
should give public access to the list OF
such lost moneys, whereas it never does
anything of the sort. When challenged.
it invites legal action. but no one cares
for a legal contest with the Bank of
England. so the question never is faced.
How do these unclaimed moneys ac-
cumulate? Largely through the omis-
sion of stockholders to claim. dividends
and through the fact that many people
die without leaving behind them a
strict account of their investments.

Philadelphia, Pa, May 29.-The
113th Presbyterian general assembly
was dissolved at 6:I5 d. IN. yesterday
by Moderator Minton, after having
been in session for nearly two weeks.
during which time many matters OF
the utmost Importance to the church
were considered. Chief among these
was the question regarding the revis-

days this momentouS subject was re-
ferred 10 special committee of TWEEN
ty-one members, which will make rec
concentrations as To the manner in
which the creed should be revised and
present them to the next general as
sembly.
Yesterday for the first time since the
assembly convened there was an in
PRODUCTION of personalities.
The trouble occurred during the dis
cussion on the chairmanship of the re-
vision committee. When ii came to
electing the chairman it was moved
that Moderator Minton be elected
chairman. This incenSed the friends
of DR. Dickey chairman of the old
committee, but il prevailed. The sub
ject was revived later. but the matter
was finally adjusted by DR.. Dickey.
who said he was confident there had
been no attempt to east any reflection
upon him. hut that the commissioners
merely desired TO honor his successor
as moderator
The closing hours of the assembly
were devoted TO routine matters. The
report of the committee on temperance
urged ministers to call the attention of
congressman in their districts to the
necessity for the completion of legis-
latiOn now upn1iuO rpO1Pdipc tho fI,.inl-

The action of the assembly is in effect
to exclude members of secret orders

r. g. Campbell who moved to strike
out the section of the report which
said the testimony does not include

should not be approved by the church.
This idea was strongly opposed. DIR.
j. NJ. Wallace. of Pittsburg. Pa, said:
For the sake of the workingmen I do
not want this part of the report Strick-
en- out. The wOrkingmen have just as
good Il right 10 form Il union as Nor

workingmen being kept out of the
church because they form themselves

Rev. J. +. Ross. of Ohio declared
the great secret orders were rivals to
the church, for the reason that they

TARIFF FOR THE PHILIpPINEs.
Proposed Mixture of Specific aud Ad Va
Iorem Rates Is Planned.

Washington. May 29.-Interest in the
supreme court decisions on the insular
questions centered at the war depart
ment Yesterday. Several senators and
representatives called OH the secretary
and discussed the situation with him.
Senator Lodge. chairman of the Philip
pines committee of the senate. eX-
pressed the opinion that the decisions
Of the court would make Philippine
legislation absolutely necessary in the
coming session of congress. He also
was clearly of the opinion that under
the SpoOner law the president had
absolute power To proviue for n rev
enue. both customs and internal, FOR
the Philippine islands.
Another suggestion made by sena-
tors previous to tine time when il was
supposed that a decision i'm the Philip
pines case would be rendered by the
court similar to the De Lima case i'm
Porto Rico. was that an export duty
on goods coming from the Philippines
TO the United States could he levied i'm
order to prevent free trade from the
islands to the United States. Any
such necessity will be obviated. how
ever. by the determination of the
treasury deartment to continue to col
lcct Dingley rates on Philippine prod
ucts and goods coming from the ISL
andS.
The following statement is made
concerning the proposed tariff for the
Philippines: ''The tariff as prepared
at Manila was based entirely upon the
specific system of duties. which levies
customs charges according to weight
or number of the imported articles
rather than according to value. This
principle has the approval of Secretary
Root but Il is thought desirable to ap-
ply an ad valorem limit I'm certain
cases where there is n wide difference
between the values of articles classi-
fed under the same paragraph. The
specific duties will be retained in most
OF these cases. but il will be provided
that the articles shall pay not less
than certain ad valorem rate. To run
from II TO 90 per cent. and Il sum
sufficient to make this rate viii bc
added where the specific duty does not
reach the al valorem standard"
