A Little Rock telegram says: The
propaganda of the general ASSOCIATION
of the Baptist churches in Arkansas,
which was organized in opposition tc
the Baptist state convention, is being
carried forward actively by those back
of the movement, and they are hope
full that they will triumph in numbers
in the state and secure the balance OF
power. Among those most actlvel?
interested are Rev. w. A. Clark, edl-
tor of the Baptist; Rev. B. M. Bogard.

At a recent meeting of the execu-
tive committee held in this city five
evangelists were selected to 90 WORK
in Arkansas, and have already COM
menced. Each is independent, and IS
not under instructions from any one.
The committee says: "To have Sec
retary superintendent over Baptist
preachers may be worldly-wise, but
it is contrary to the Scriptures, and
in that lies the chiefest ground OF
opposition to the constituted author

improvements in the Parks.

The park commissioner have decided to
carry out some improvements In Bayliss
park this year. Several of the large trees
which show signs OF decay will be cut down
and steps will be taken to preserve the
others. New trees will be planted to take
the place OF the ones cut down and will he
placed far enough apart to prevent their
shade from i~njuring the grass.
1t is also proposed to cover the entire
park with a layer of about twelve inches
OF fresh soil. This will involve the ex-
penditure OF a large sum of money, so this
year only one section will be SO treated,
The portion facing on Sixth street will
probably be the hrst to be improved this
way.
The board will visit Paramount park this
afternoon and determine what improve
ments shall be- carried out there. Com

BISHOP o'GoRMAN AT CAPITAL
Declines 10 Express Opinion on
Future status of Catholics In
philippine Islands.

WASHINGTON, April 11.-Bishop O'Gor-
man OF Sioux Falls, S. d., called at the
War department today and had a short talk
with Secretary Root with relation to the
present and future status Of the church in
the insular possessions OF the United
States.
TIL bishop had nothing to say as TO the
extent OF his powers in these matters, but
II is a fact that in the face OF the existing
vacancy In the post OF archbishop OF Ma
Mia there Is no one else to speak to the
authorities here upon these questions ex-
cept Bishop O'Gorman and Mgr. Sharretti,
the latter fresh from the vatican. II there
were an archbishop Of Manila the disposi-
tion OF the authorities would be to deal
with him directly in the matter, inasmuch
as he would be the one person legally en-
powered to transfer title to the frairs'
lands, which arc nominally held in his
name. But In the absence OF such a legal
custodian at Manila It may become neces-
sary for the United States government TO
deal with the vatican either directly at
Rome. through Governor Taft. when he
returns to Manila from the United States
or here at Washington through some OF the
p~relates duly authorized to act.

W WANTS MORE MONEY

tied Resources.

WASHINGTON. April 1L-Governor Dole
OF Hawaii arrived here today to confer
with the president, at the latter's request.
regarding conditions In Hawaii, pending
legislation affecting the territory and
other matters.
Governor Dole said today:
There is some complaint among bus
mess men of Hawaii on account Of the
tiehtness of the money market. There are
no failures or assignments of importance.
The enterprises, however, are too large
for the available capital The Hawaiian
government is limited by the revenues
which are inadequate for carrying on
necessary public improvements. The cur
rent revenues are sufficient only 10 carry
out the administration expenses. The last
legislature failed TO enact legislation for
needed loans. The country lost a large
part OF the revenues at the beginning Of
the territory by the transfer Of the Gus
toms revenues, amounting to about $780,
600, to the federal government.
But We are getting along. The territorial
government Is doing something In the way
OF public improvements, but not nearly so
much as ought to be done. The govern
ment has little in sight for payment OF
the fire claims for buildings burned during
the plague epidemic in Honolulu in 1900.

FIX Up The ASSESSMENTS
Board Of Review Tsoks Fifty Thousand Dol.
lars o Implement Men.
LOOKING INTO THE BANK VALUATIONS
Real Estate Marked on of Assess.
ments and Rebate for UBited
states Bonds Owned up for
Consideration.

The aldermen, sitting as a board OF re.
view, spent another afternoon yesterday
wrestling with the assessment. Having
succeeded Wednesday afternoon In classi.
flying TO a certain extent the assessment
rolls, the board yesterday took up the in
dividual assessments with a view TO equal
icing them. This "equalizing" process was
applied to most OF the wholesale imple-
ment nTms and before the board adjourned
for the day about 500, 900 had been added "a
their assessments. The board declined 10
make public any figures. as one of the AID
ermen stated that they would probably
take IL all back again before they got
through, but, nevertheless. we are making a
blum at It,"
When the assessment Of the banks came
up for discussion Alderman Lougee stated
that It appeared to him the banks had
charged on a large amount OF real estate
SO that 1t does not appear In their assets
and he thought the board ought to know
whether this real estate was assessed else
where. Another question In connection with
the assessment Of the banks came up when
City Solicitor Snyder gave Il as his opinion
that they were not entitled 20 an offset for
government bonds and he recommended
that the claim for such offsets be denied
and the assessment as returned by Assessor
Everest stand. Such a course, he said,
would give the banks an opportunity to APP
peal, but the city would have no appeal
from It's own action. In this connection, ne
stated that a case was now pending before
the state supreme court from Keokuk
county involving this question, and until
this was decided the city had better let the
assessment stand and not allow the offset
claimed by the banks,
Outside OF the implement houses none
but minor changes we're made yesterday In
the assessment. The board will meet again
this afternoon and expects to complete its
work by Saturday.
