ELECTED FORMER PASTOR.
Exciting Scene tn St. Paui's Bsptis,
 Church, {Colored) Boston.

Boston, July 13-A most exciting scene was enacted at St. Paul's Baptist church (colored), at the close of this mornings services when as the culmin- ation of troubles that have existed be- tween a portion of the society and the former pastor, Rev. Simon P. w. Drew, the latter was thrown bodily from the church by half a dozen constables. A faction of the church has been trying to have MT. Drew resign, but he has de- fled their attempts and has had quite a number of supporters. On account of the society's financial difficulties the Boston Baptist City Mission society acts as trustee of the church and to- days meeting was held under their di- rection. Rev. MT Drew applied to Judge Bell of the superior court for an in- junction to prevent the holding of to- days services, but the injunction was not granted and it was in view of warn- ings that attempts would be made to break up the meeting that the trustee society installed force of constables,
 Rev. Mr. Drew occupied a seat in the auditorium and interrupted the sermon several times by attempting to assert his alleged rights and intimated that he would not leave the church unless he was forcibly removed.
 At the close of the services the re- quest was made that every one should leave the church and all compiled ex- cept the defiant pastor and the con- stables, the congregation lining up in the street awaiting developments. They soon came, and MT. Drew made a for cible exit from the front door and land- ed on the sidewalk with the constables upon him. His hat was knocked off while his personal appearance indicated that he had not been elected without struggle He then attempted to ad- dress the crowd, but his remarks were drowned by misses and jeers and he quickly took his departure.

ACADEMY CRIBBING CASES
fl STATEMENT ISSUED FROM
 PHILLIPS-ANDOYER.
Vice Principal Stenrns Severely Criti- cises Princeton's Methods of Conduct ing Examinati0n-Great CaFeIessness Paper in One ExaminatiOn-Princ ton Had Been Warned.
ton Had Been Warned.

Andover, July 13-In response to numerous inquiries and in answer to many criticisms regarding the recent cribbing at the Princeton examinations Vice Principal Stearns of Phillips Andover academy has made public the following statement:
 A dispatch from Princeton dated July and published through the Asso- ciated Press in the papers of the fol- lowing morning states that tWenty-two out of the thirty-one from Phillips Andover academy who had taken the Princeton examinations had been found guilty of cribbing, and had been reject ed by the Princeton examiners for this reason. The chairman of the Princeton entrance examination committee is quoted as saying that the papers as whole were the poorest lot Princeton had had submitted this year. The ar- ticle has been commented upon exten- sively by the various newspapers, and in a way to show clearly that the real facts are not understood. In a Hart LOI piPCI oL uty tALC AcAAO"AA'5 >NAtS rial comment appears: Tt is inconceiv- able that two-thirds of those who were supposed to be fitted for college at the academy should be found cribbing at an examination unless the standard of honor in such matters had fallen very low"
 These statements call for explana- tion, and the academy authorities would long ago have made statement regard ing the case had not Princeton, for some unknown reason, failed to notify them of the fact until the matter had been before the public for several cays, and the boys concerned had received their reports and notices bearing on the trouble. Princeton's attitude in this matter is especially inexplicable, as the figures given in the newspapers were considerably exaggerated.
 According to the methods employed by Princeton in conducting entrance eX- aminations any boy, however it or or what atever class, and without fee IS ai- lowed to attempt the examination. This is a tremendous temptation to many boys. who are induced for various req sons to try the examinations. Com- plaints against this system have been constantly made by Andover; but year ago Gin June, 19o1) the situation reached climax. .
 Provision had been made for eight or ten candidates. The night before the examinations were held about dozen more boys unexpectedly appeared and requested permission to take the exam ination. They were refused by the school on the ground that the papers from Princeton had arrived, and that It was too late to provide more. One or the boys then telegraphed to Princeton for the desired permission and the next

 Strikers.


 Chicago, July 13-Eight of the rail- roads after conferences between their managers and members of the state board of arbitration agreed to a propo- sition that it is believed will result in a settlement of the freight handlers strike.

The railroads that agreed to the compromise were four of the eastern and a like number of the westertn lines.

Then Krebs led at the second, third and fourth laps. Bald won the fifth. Fenn the sixth and Tom Butler the seventh. Then the champion, Kramer, got his wheel going and he won the race in fighting finish by about two feet. The time-4:11--is probably the fastest ever made in a scratch race. The summary:

COAL STRIKE SITUATION
MUCH DEPENDS ON INDIANAPO-
 LIS CONVENTION.
Haud Coal Men the Conflict May be Prolonged IndefiDitely-If Sub stantiai Support is Not Given it May Discourage the Men.

Wilkesbarre, Pa., July 13-The tenth strike may witness the crisis. Every thing now depends on the national con- vention which meets at Indianapolis Thursday. If the convention votes solid support to the hard coal miners now on strike the conflict with the operators may be prolonged indefinitely On the other hand should substantial support not be forthcoming it may have 8 discouraging effect on the strikers and the operators taking advantage of it, may attempt to resume operations at some of the colieries. This is the con- census of opinion as expressed in op- orators and strikers circles. No effort will be made by any of the large coal companies to start up any of their mines this week. Indianapolis must speak first before any move is made in that direction. Many of the local assemblies of union mine workers of district No. 1, United Mine Workers, held meetings to-day to give final in- structions to their delegates who will represent them in the national conven- ton. Just what the instructions are is not known. It is expected, however, that all the delegates from the anthra- cite region will vote as 8 unit in the convention.
 Sheriff Jacobs reports that the whole region is unusually quiet.

BEET SUGAR VICTORY
RECIPROCITY ADVOCATES SUG.
 GEsT A COMPROMISE.
Propose That Reduction of 20 Per Cent Be Allowed, to Be Linn ited to Two Crops
 of Sugar.

Washington. March 12.-Oyertures have been made for compromise of the connict over tariff concessions to Cuba and there are evidences that the two clements will come together. probably on a proposl- tion to have 20 per cent. reciprocical re- duction apply for a year from next De- cember.
 It is understood that Chairman Payne and Representative Dalzell made the overtures toward an agreement. One of the leading members of the opposition said that, Messrs Payne and Daizell hao made the suggestion to him and had asked for an answer. This was followed by nasty canvass of opposition mem bers which developed considerable diner ence of views.
 Later leaders of the element opposed to the Ways and Means Committee at tendSd q conference in the rooms of Will liam Alden Smith. Some thirty members were present. The sentiment was rather unfavorable to accepting the plan of 2 per cent reduction for the year from next December and some of those present favored rejecting the plan. but 1t was decided 10 meet the committee repre- senting the Ways and Means and Air. Payne and his associates were so ad- Vised.
 During the meeting the statement was
  cates had been assured by representatives of the Ways and Means Committee that the plans of compromise would not cover this years sugar crop and would apply only to the crop of next year. harvested prior to December 1903. Some doubt ex- isted, however, and il was considered quite vital to learn with detinikeness whether the 70 per cent. reduction iwould apply to two crops or to one. It was stated afterward by the Means and com mittee members that the compromise plan would affect the crops of this year and next allowing 70 per cent. off on each. There was no purpose, it was stated, to limit the reduction tn q single crop.
 This matter probably will he left to the Arvitrating Committee with the indica- ton that the beet sugar conferees will insist on limiting the reduction to ont crop, that of next year. and with that limitation will be inclined to accept the plan of compromise A full conference of the opposition tu Cuban concessions will be held tomorrow prir 10 meeting repre- sentatives { the Ways and Means Com mittee.
