published to-day. is in many ways sensational
work-sensational in that IT makes disclosures
which up TO have been scrupulousy con-
cealed from the public by press censorship and
studied vagueness of dispatches.
The exact text of General Buffers famous
heliogram is stated TO be as follows: "As it ap-
pears certain that I cannot relieve Ladysmth
for another month and even then only by
means of protracted siege operations you will
burn your ciphers destroy your guns. fire your
ammunition and make the best terms possible
with the general Of the besieging forces after
giving me time to fortify myself on the Tugela.'
This message was ar first taken By Sir
George White for Boer forgery.

AGREED ON CHINESE BILL
conferees Accept Main Features Of
Senate Exclusion Measure.

Senate Exclusion Measure.
Washington, April 23.-The con-
ferees on the Chinese exclusion bill
have practically reached an agree
meRt. The main features of the SEN
ate bill have been adopted, but there
are some alterations.
Under the agreement the senate
substitute becomes the exclusion
measure, but the house conferees have
secured a concession specifically re-
enacting sections to IA of the ex-
clusion act of September 1S. 1888. The
point still open is as to extending the
exclusion indefinitely after May 5
next. The house bill extends the pro.
hibition indefinitely, but the senate
bill limits it until a new treaty is
made. The house conferees are in
sisting on taking out the reference to
a new treaty. so that there will be no
limit of time to exclusion.
The senate bill also is made more
specific in its application to insular
territory. The provision relating to
Chinese laborers in islands belonging
to the United States is made to read
as follows: Said laws shall apply to
all immigration of Chinese laborers
not citizens of the United States from
the island to the mainland territory
OF the United States, whether such
were in the island territory at the
time of cession or not, or from one
portion of the island territory of the
United States to another portion o.
/ said territory.

plete as it was dramatic, forty odd
Republicans passed between Messrs.

Nv sneciaI EcelssiasticaI Court.

lody of Ri. Rev. Neumsnn Exhumed |
BY Special Ecclesiastical Court.
Philadelphia, April 23.-With sol |
emn and impressive rites, especially |
prepared for the occasion, and in the
presence Of the ecclesiastical court, ap-
pointed by the Pope, the tomb OF
Bishop Neumann in St. Peters Cath
lhc church, Fifth street and Girard
avenue, was yesterday morning opened
and the remains of the dead prelate
were exposed to view and carefully
examined. This unique procedure was
taken for the purpose of inspecting
and Identifying the corpse prior to the
prospective beatiication of the dead
bishop. 1t was due to the statements
of persons who claimed to have been
healed by praying at his tomb that the
first steps were taken to make an in
vestigation with a view to oanonizing
Bishop Neumann. A committee was
appointed, the members of which were
sworn to secrecy, and many persons
were questioned and their answers
were recorded and taken to Rome,
where they were read with much in
terest. AS a result it was decided to
look further and it was deemed ad-
visable to exhume the body.
The Very Rev. Joseph Wissel, Of
/ st. Peters Church, last night gave out
a statement describing the state of
preservation of the body. The body,
which was attired in the bishops
vestments, was mummifed. The face
/ was a little sunken and out Of natural
/ shape, but the rest Of the body was in
a remarkably good state Of preserva-
4 ton. The hands, which were folded
across the breast, were perfect, and
the feet equally so. the flesh being
hard and solid, though of a dark gray
color. There was no odor whatever
from the remains. Four physicians
examined the body thoroughly It was
viewed by all the members of the
court and then was placed in a new
coffin, sealed up and replaced in the
vault.
There is a legend in the church thai
the bodies of saints exhumed man!
years after burial show signs of extra
ordinary preservation. The body, it 4
understood, was not embalmed whel
first inferred. Yesterdays ceremon,
is said to have been the first ever hell
in the United States.

Thread no more thy kind release;

From all care and fear released;
Where the wicked cease from troubling
And the weary are at rest
Ger the tOilsome way thou'st travelled
And endured the heavy load,
Christ has brought thy footsteps languid
Safely to his blest abode.
Sin no more can faint thy spirii-

Now thy strength shall never fail.
And thou art sure to, meet the holy

Where the wicked cease from troubling

THE sudden rise in temperature
this week caused vegetation to start
rapidly. For two weeks the cold
east winds retarded the growth OF
wheat, grass and vegetables,and had
also become a serious matter to fruit
growers; but this country was TAR
more fortunate than the great Mid
die West, where droughth and high
winds were accompanied by tenn
perature ranging from ninety to one
hundred degrees, which caused
great damage to wheat. In all
probability this excessive high tenn
perature will be followed by much
cooler weather, as it is yet too early
to expect summer to open.

THE prompt payment of taxes IS
imperative for economical manage
ment of public affairs. There is
no valid reason why all tax should
not be paid within the twelve
months Immediately following its
levy and those who put off payment
longer are robbing the public Of
funds necessary to keep up our
civil form of government. The
people of Delaware were schooled
by the old Democratic system of
collecting taxes into postponement;
in fact, it was only real estate that
paid any tax under that system, but
the people are now demanding bet
ter results for their money, and the
public expects results to follow
promptly. This is right, and only
simple business problems should be
followed in collection of taxes. The
law of Sussex county for the col
lection of taxes, is an excellent one,
and it could be applied to the bal
ance of the State with good effect,
Those who pay promptly receive a
rebate on their tax; those who pay
at another period get a smaller re,
bate; those who pay still latel
must pay the full amount levied
while those who continue beyond
that period must pay an additions
penalty on each dollar of their taz
of one cent each month. This i,
fair, and rewards those who pa,
promptly and thus give the count,
ready money to pay expenses with
while those who retain the take
due from them must pay for thei
use as they would for borrowe,
money. Prompt payment of take
is like prompt payment of persona
bills in business, in its effect O
county, town or school affairs.
Under the Sussex Law, taxes hav
been collected much easier, an
county orders have gone up to thei
face value.
