BISHOP SAYS BoERS
FACE DETERMINATION
Right Reverend L. K. Coppin Re
turns From Africa After Organ
izing Two Conferences.

New York, Jan. 26.-The Right Reverend
L. X. Coppin, who sailed from this city
about a year ago on the Umbria, to take
charge of the Fourteenth Episcopal Diocese
of the African Methodist Episcopal Church
in South Africa, returned by the same ship
arriving here to-day. He is from PhiladeI-
phia, and was the first Bishop sent out by
the A. NJ. E. Church to take charge of this
diocese, which lies south of the Gambesi
River and comprises two conferences, the
South African and the Transvaal.
Il found plenty of work awaiting me
when 1 got out there" he said to-day.
1.-THE two conferences were mapped out,
but We're not organized. and only start

school near Bloemfontein, modelled on the

I'VE are seriously handicapped in this
project by the unsettled condition of the
country on account of the war. There
seems little hope of the terrible war cloud
lifting. You cannot conceive the condition
of affairs over there. The Beers are grad

nation. England will never listen to any
arbitration proposition which means resto-
ration Of the Republic, and the Beers will
accept no other settlement. Just as long
as they are able to keep up the guerrilla
method OF warfare, they can, notwithstand-
ing the smallness of their numbers, keep
thousands Of soldiers in the field busy
watching them and trying to head them
on"

SOUTHERN PACIFIC TO USE
OIL FUEL ON EASTERN LINE.
Arranges for Great System of Storage
Tanks-Snnta Fe VIII Burn
More Petroleum.
REPUBLIc SPECIAL

REPUBLIC SPECIAL.
Beaumont. Tex, Jan. 26-The Southern
Pacific Railway Company. which has been
using oil successfully for several months
ON its Pacific division, is now taking active
steps toward substituting the liquid fuel for
coal on the Eastern or Atlantic division of
the road. This is evidenced by the fact that
the company has contracted with the PEN
man Steel and Iron Works for 100000 bar
rels of steel tankage to be constructed along
the line of the Sabine and East Texas Rail
way. near the oil fields. This line is a part
of the Southern Pacific system. and in this
respect the system is splendidly equipped
for the transportation Of its fuel oil. The
contract made with the Penman Steel and
Iron Works calls for twelve steel tanks oe
50. COO barrels capacity each and twelve tanks
of $3.50 barrels. which will give total
tankage of 1.1l0,0O0 barrels.
Supply tanks will be erected at various
points along the line, and 1t Is safe to pre-
dict that within less than a year the South
ern Pacific will be pulling all Of its trains
on the east end with oil as fuel.
Mr Penman has gone to Chicago to make
the final arrangements for removing his
plant to Beaumont, and as soon as 1t is in
stalled here work on the Southern Pacific
tanks Will begin. Before going Mr.. Penman
contracted to build four more tanks for the
Santa Fe system. When the tanks now
under construction and contracted for shall
have been completed. the field will have a
total tankage of more than 100000 barrels
one of the best testimonials as to the
satety with which Beaumont oil may be
useo as fuel is the fact that not a single
accident has occurred on the field where
an average of about sixty boilers have been
fired with oil for more than a year Persons
unacquainted with the oil seem to fear that
there is danger from an accumulation OF

might cause explosion or a fire. Less thar

Prof. Moore Says Cuban Conces-

Washington, Jan. 2s.-Another prop has
been knocked from under the beet sugar
men and their supporters in Congress by
Professor John Bassett Moore Of Columbia,
former Assistant Secretary of State and
counselor to the Commissioners who nego.
dated the peace treaty at Paris.
Those who are opposing all concessions to
Cuba have brought up one objection after
another. and each In turn has been dis
posed of by administration representatives
and others who have urged relief for Cuba.
Among other things they have raised the
question as to whether or not Congress can
specially provide for the importation Of
Cuban products at lower rates of duty than
those prescribed by the general tariff laws
without violating the Observation-Disclosures
clause in treaties with other countries. Mr..
Moore points out that, II the question re-
lates to a reciprocal arrangement between
the United States and another country ex-
ercising sovereign powers as an Independent
Government, it would fall within the rule

has uniformly maintained. that "the most
