THE LAST SAD RITES.

The New London Conn., Day, of Wednesday, March 18th, contains an account of the impressive funeral ser vices of Leroy Miner held at Christ church, in that city, on the afternoon ofthe 18th inst
 The following excerpt will be inter esting to the many friends of the de- ceased here:
 1t was difficult for those who had counted Leroy Miner as their friend to bring themselves to the sad certainty that his cheery voice, that had so often echoed through the church in hymns of praise, had been stilled forever and that the casket contained all that was mortal of the young man who had left this city so fulk of hope for a bright flu ture in an untried field. With the sad ness, however, came the comforting thought that during bis short life the one they loved had made for himself a character that was respected by every one and that the memories of the de parted one were all of a nature in which they might take pride.

PORTO RICAN FRANCHISE
May Not he Granted, as the Council Has
Undertaken to Exempt Railroad
From Taxation.

WASHINGTON, Aug. 19.-The secre-
tary of state has received from At
torney General Knox an opinion on
the question of the approval by the
president of franchise granting to the
Compania de les Ferrocassiles of Porto
Rico the right to extend its railway
lines between certain points on the
island. The attorney general advises
that the franchise in question be not
approved by the president on the
ground that the executive council of
Porto Rico has undertaken to exempt
the company and its property from all
taxation for a period of twenty-five
years. These exemptions, the attorney
general holds, the executive council
was not authorized to make. Con
gress,' he says, did not delegate to it
the sovereign power of taxation, in
Guiding the authority to exempt from
the taxation. This was delegated to
the legislative assembly of Porto Rico.
The two powers are different and dis
tinct things
The council therefore, it is held, has
invaded the province of the legislative
assembly and the proposed exemptions
are void

nF AfrIcaua

LONDON, Aug. 19.-The Afro-Amert-
can delegates to the international
Ecumenical Council, which is to meet
in Wesley's chapel in City Road, Lon
don, next month, are already arriving.
Their advent is causing unexpected
difficulty at one of the big hotels in
the West End, where large number
Of Americans are staying. The latter,
amazed by the announcement that
some 200 colored men were coming,
formally protested to the proprietor,
assuring him that such thing would
not be permitted in the United States
and demanding that the colored peo-
pie be accommodated in a separate
part of the hotel. The proprietor de-
clined to interfere, with the result
that some of the Americans are ar
ranging to leave.
To a representative of the Associat-
ed Press he said tonight: 81 could not
think of offering an insult to such men
as Bishop Derrick of New York, Bishop
tanner of Philadelphia, Bishop Gaines
of Atlanta and Bishop Arnett. | told
the Americans that when the Indian
princes were here no one objected to
meet them, and | do not propose to
make any distinction at the expense

damages in the sum of $4,000 from
Dr.. W. P. Book, the Rex Crude Oil com
pany and others interested in a deal
whereby oil was taken from the proper
ty owned by her under a lease given
with the understanding that the prop
erty was to be used for tenement pur-
poses. Miss isom leased the lot to DR..
Book March 7, 1898, at the nominal
rental of 500 per year, the lease to
run three years. At the expiration Of
two years she learned that Book had
developed oil and leased the property
to the Rex Company. Suits were
brought to recover the value of the oil
taken out and the recovery of the
property. Miss Isom won both suits
At the time the lease was executed
she was teaching in college at Ok
ford, Miss. Her Los Angeles property
was of little value before oil was de-.
veloped upon it.

COAL A BIG ITEM.


San Francisco, Aug. 17.-Gen. 0. f.
Long, superintendent of the army
transport service in this city is pre-
pairing his annual report to the quar-
termaster general of the army. 1t
will show that $2O,0OO,OOO has been dis
bursed here in the maintenance Of the
transport service. The estimated cost
of transporting a soldier from San
Francisco to Manila is shown to be
1896, for a cabin passenger, S2j6. The
capacities of the transports that come
into this port will vary from 1900 tc
1000 passengers. Coal is one of the
biggest items of expense. The Meade,
which sailed Friday, will burn on an
average 40 tons a day for 2j days.
That alone is an item Of $4,000.
