FINAL REPORT OF THE AUDITING COMMIT
TEE BEFORE THE OFFICIAL BOARD.
Department OF the Church Found to be In a
Most Excellent Condition and Class Lead
ers Report Large Attendance.

The first quarterly Conference for
the year of 1902 was held at Asbury NJ.
E. Church last Thursday evening with
more than usual interest. DIR. W. F.
Corkran, presiding Elder of Easton
District, was present and presided.
There was large attendance on the
part of the stewards and trustees, and
the reports of the affairs of the church
were most excellent. The reports
from the class leaders were especially
good, and showed an increase of at
tendance that was highly gratifying to
Pastor Collins and the official board.
There was no particular business
transacted outside of the routine. The
most important matter before the 9fi-
cial board, however, was the report of
the Auditing Committee, Messrs. Wal
ter Hynson, Charles j. Sudler, and
George NJ. Stevenson. 1t fully sets
forth the financial condition of all the
departments of the church, and so
gratifying was it to the Official Board,
that a motion was made to have it
published, so that the large member
ship could see how business like and
systematic the affairs of Asbury NJ.

in full is as follows:

FIRE ON FIFTH STREET
The Boston Store, Morris Saloon and Two
Dwellings Damaged.

About one o'clock Thursday morn
ing fire was discovered in the Gray
block on West Fifth st. The Elst
End fire department was called and
the flames were soon eXtinguishcd, ,
but not until a large amount o: prop
ertr had been destroyed.
1t is claimed that the fire originated
in Il room on the second floor useC
for store room in which there was &
conglomeration of articles and must
have been burning for some little
time before it was discovered.
This floor was used as dwelling
rooms and were occupied by Mr.. and
Mrs. Benson and Mrs, Wilkinson
who met with heavy loss on furniture
by fire and water, Mrs, Benson also
lost about $50 in cash which she had
IN her room.
The first floors were occupied by A.
&. Eranson proprietor of the Boston
store and Ed. Morris saloon. Both
places being badly damaged, princi-
pally by water. The dry goods, cloth
ing, etc, in the Boston store that
were not burned are thoroughly sat
urated by water and Mr.. Eranson

HIS POSITION

His Attitude.

Washington, Feb. 1s.-Speaker Hen
Funk of Iowa Falls, Ia. defending the
position taken by the speaker in opposl-
ton to the relief of Cuba. The speaker
says in his letter that those who con-
tend for a reduction of so per cent in
the duties on Cuba products are:
"First-The American sugar trust,
which is here in the persons of It's
ablest managers.
"Second-Ihe money-the capital
that has been put into the construction
of railroads in Cuba. where system
of railroads extending along what may
be termed the backbone of the island,
with arms extending from the back
bone into each part of it. is In process
of construction. All the money in this
enterprise, of course, is ANXIOUS 10 puiiu
up the commerce of Cuba.
"Third-There are millions of dollars
that have gone into Cuba buying up
plantations cheap lands, and with large
syndicates formed, are seeking to make
fortunes out of the sugar Industry.
Then again there are Americans over
there with vast sums of money in vari-
Gus enterprises who are anxious for
this. Then again the Cubans them
selves who have the capital are anxious
to have free trade relations with the
United States. These all touch elbows
and are working together"
Continuing his letter. Speaker Hen

ton by saying:
"You have accepted the lies sent out
by the press. which is being manipulate
ed in the interest of free trade with
Cuba. have never expressed an opin-
ion against doing something-what-
ever we possibly can--to strengthen the
hand of Cuba. have stood side by side
with the president and the ways and
means committee trying to devise some
plan to do this without injuring the far
mers of our own country and at the
same time give encouragement to Cuba.
THE contention is brought to us from
cur own people that we have shed blood
and money enough for Cuba now, an in
dependent government. so as to speak,
without slaughtering the farming in
terests of our country, and the most in
tense feeling exists. doubt if, with all
the combined influence we have to
bring to bear, we can dislodge or
change the views of the states that
have named that are operating in the
beet sugar induhtry. without sufficient
force to carry the house.
1T may be that we can hit upon some
ether plan and harmonize matters, but
I beg of a man of your intelligence and
experience not to accept the flying re-
ports and dispatches sent out and slim
ulated by the concrete organizations I
have indicated, who, Indifferent to our
own farming interests in this country,
want to break down all the barriers be-
tween us and Cuba"

NARROWED BY LEGISLATURE.
Three Mississippi Congressman Thrown
Into One District.

Into One DlStrict.
Washington Feb 1S.-The redis-
trieting of Mississippi for congressional
purposes has thrown three of the pres
cnt representatives in congress into the
same district, and there is much debate
among them as to their future politlcat
course The representatives are John
sharp Williams of the Fifth, Gen. G.
+. Hooker of the Seventh and Pat lien
ry of the Third district. There is also
in the district as now composed an
other Patrick Henry, who viii also
probably be an aspirant for the nomi-
nation.
The three member now in congress
take the matter very good-naturedly.
They are the closest friends and dis
cuss the situation the situation With
much franlSness. Each realizes that
three candidates for the nomination
Will certainly be defeated. and each Is
certain that the other man is best fitted
for the position. Mr.. Williams has been
the most active worker of the delega-
ton and is looked upon as leader on
the democratic side. Gen. Hooker and
Mr.. Henry declare that IL would be a
calamity to legislate Mr.. Williams out
of congress. On the other hand, Mr..
Williams insists that both Hooker and
Henry are deserving of recollection. and
he does not want to see either of them
left at home. Il have been blamed"
said Mr.. Williams, for not going to
Jackson and using my influence to pre-
vent the change in the districts. l did
not want the changes made. of course,
but ! had duties in congress that de-
manded my attention. 1t is the duty of
the Legislature to redistrict the state. l
did not desire to usurp any of their
functions, nor do 1 criticise them now.
The thing l regret about it most is the
parting company with my constituents
from the old Fifth district. They have
been as kind to me as tho each old man
was my father and each young man

Cuban Reciprocity Question.

Washington, Feb. 1S.--With the pas
sage of the war revenue reduction bill
in the house. informal plans are being
considered on both sides of the cham
Der for the consideration of the Cuban
reciprocity question, now pending be-
fore the ways and means committee.
Chairman Payne said last night that no
definite plans had yet been matured for
taking UP the question, either by the
republican members or by the commit
tee as whole. AT the same time there
is a pretty general understanding
among the republican members of the
committee that they will confer on the
subject later in the week. The demo-
cratic members of the ways and means
committee met in the afternoon imme-
diately after the passage of the war
revenue repeal act to consider plans for
dealing with the Cuban reciprocity
question when it comes up. No definite
line of action was determined upon.
