San Diego, Cal, March 31.-The tor

Wisconsin had been notified that she
might expect visit from the destroy

the battleship before the latter got a

When from 1000 to 500 yards from
the battleship the latter's searchlights
found the Farragut and a rocket pro-
claimed the fact. Those on the Farra-

a rocket which the latter sent up long
before the destroyer was within 1900

DECLARED GUILTY OF HEREsY
Rev. Granville LOwther Refuses to
Cease His Teachings and Trial
= Committee Decides Against Him.

Kansas City, Mo-, March 31.-A spe-
cial to the Star from Arkansas City,
Kan, says: Rev. Granville Lowther
Saturday formally refused to accept
the proposition to stop his teachings,
and the Methodist Episcopal trial
committee declares him guilty of
heresy. This of course means dis
missal from the church.
The trial committee met Saturday
behind closed doors and immediate
ly a statement was presented from
Rev. Lowther, in which he declined
to accept the proposition to acquit
him if he would cease his heritical
utterances.
Seen later Rev. Lowther said that
he had been so certain of acquittal
that he had made no future plans.
''Will you appeal to the general
conference" was asked.

The committee did not go into the
merits of the question Saturday, ex-
cept to GO over the printed charges and
discuss the steps best to take. As the
charges showed that they had been
brought to Representative Richard

considered desirable that the latter
should appear, and he probably will be
heard on Tuesday.
Representative Cousins, of Iowa.
made the motion that the hearings be
public and this prevailed unanimously.

Washington, March 31.-Chairman
Payne, of the ways and means COM
mittee of the house, has called a meet
ing of the committee for Monday morn
ing at 1880 to consider his bill for reci-
procity with Cuba. This announce
ment is interpreted as an assurance on
the part of the ways and means leaders
that the victory for reciprocity has
been won in the committee.
Representative Babcock, of Wiscon-
sin, Saturday authorized the state
ment that he would remain in Wash
ington for the ways and means com

House Proceedings.
Washington, March 31.-Immedi-
ately after the house met Saturday

to the president, appeared and trans
mitted from the president the Miles
correspondence called for by the
Burleson resolution which was adopt
ed several days ago.
The Chinese exclusion act was
made a special order after the dis
posal of the revenue cutter bill. The
speaker then laid before the house
the Miles correspondence. The mem
bers appeared greatly interested, but
only the letter of transmission was
read and there was considerable dis
appointment.
The house then proceeded with the
consideration of the senate bill to
promote the efficiency of the revenue
cutter service. 1t was agreed that
