WANT NO TAX ON TEA.
Argue That the Poorer Glasses Pay
the Tax in Full and the Rich Are
uuabIe to Procure the Best Tea.

Washington. Jan. 27-The ways and
means committee today temporarily laid
aside the subject OF Cuban reciprocity
and entered upon the question OF reduce
ing the war revenue taxes. During the
morning the tea interests We're heard on
a proposition to take off the tax of 10
cents per pound on tea imposed by the
Spanish war revenue act. The afternoon
was set aside for the beer interests.
The tea interests were numerously In
terested Some Of those present opposed
the proposed change. Albert P. Sloan.
of New York, president of the National
Tea Duty Repeal Association. made the
opening statement He summed up the
appeal for reduction as follows: First,
the duty is an excessive hardship upon
four classes of people interested, the
consumer. the retailer the wholesale
grocer and the tea importer. Second, the
duty is injuring permanently the quality
of tea sold and consumed. Third, the
poorer classes pay the tax in full and
the better classes are gradually being
deprived Of the best tea. Fourth. as the
tea duty is a war tax, 1t should be re-
moved now the war is over and there is
q surplus in the treasury. Fifth. as the
country is already heavily taxed upon
the principle of protection it should not
be doubly taxed upon an article which
demands no projections"

Not WiIlinq Captive.

washington. Jan. 27-The Turkish
minister, Chekib BeN today authorized
the following statement:
1.-The statment made by the Vienna
newspapers and cabled to the press of
the United States that Miss Stcne is
willing captive Of the Macedonian revo-
lutionary committee are without foun-
dation, so far as any Turkish of1clai
knows Rumors of this kind have been
recently circulated in the United States.
So far as know the Turkish informa-
tion consists of the following facts:
Miss Stone was captured on the
frontiers OF Turkey and Bulgaria by
disguised agents Of the Macedonian
committee. She had been warned of her
danger. but persisted in her journey
thru dangerous part OF the country.
The careful disguise OF the brigands
made it possible for them to flee into
Bulgarian territory from the pursuing
forces of Turkey They have since re-
tanned her upon Bulgarian soil, and the
Turkish frontier has been steadily
guarded to prevent them carrying out
their outrage upon Turkish soil.
.sThe Turkish government is net ad-
yised of any motive which Miss Stone
could possibly harbor to facilitate the
designs OF the Macedonian committee
and has never intimated or suggested
such a preposterous plan.
1.-The Turkish government has earn
estly co-operated with every effort to
capture the brigands and release Miss
Stone, and had the efforts and activity
Of their neighbors been equal Miss
Stone would have long ago been re-
leased and her oaptors punished.
"I earnestly hope that the diplomatic
negotiations with the brigands will
speedily result in the freedom Of Miss
Stone"

TRANSFER AMEs MONUMENT.
Union Pacific Railroad Company Ac'
cedes to Public Sentiment.

Laramie, Wyo., Jan. 27.--It has been
decided by the Union Pacific railroad
that the Ames monument, which, has
been left isolated at the old Sherman
station by the construction of the Sher-
man hill tunnel and the Laramie Bul-
ford cutoff, shall be moved to the
New Sherman station, four miles south
OF the former site.
The proposition to rebuild it elsewhere
than on the Sherman hill was decided to
be wholly opposed to the spirit that
originally led to it's construction. The
time was too short, however, to admit
of making the transfer before winter set
in, and the work was postponed until
spring.
The Ames monument, which was built
in 1888 and paid for by relatives OF
Oakes and Oliver Ames, to whom the
Union Pacific owes more than to any
other men. for its existence, is of solid
native granite and cost 100000.
