TENEBRAE SUNG
 BY THE PRIESTS
IMPRESSIVE SERVICES AT ST. PAUL's CHURCH LAST NIGHT. FATHER KENNEDY PREACHED. MASS AND PROCESSION.

At St. Pauls church last night the services were deeply impressive. They included the Tenebrae, sung antiphonal- ly by number of priests. The Lamen- tations of Jeremiah were sung in turn by the Rev Father O'Reilly, the Rev. Father Kennedy and the Rev. Father Kerrigan. After the last lamentation the boys altar choir chanted the bene- dictus. All of the singing was in mourn full tone, behtting the approach of Good Friday
 Father Kennedy delivered a short but eloquent sermon in which he reminded Catholics of their obligation to receive holy communion during the Eastertide and impressed upon them the danger of delay.
 During the services twelve of the thir- teen candles on the triangle were ex- tinguished and the light which was left burning was carried away and hid. All the lights on the altar were extinguished.
 The Tenebrae will be sung again to- night and tomorrow night. There will be mass at o'clock this morning, after which the blessed sacrament will be car ried in procession from the tabernacle on the high altar to the repository.

PROTOCOL IS MIsUNDERsTooD.
Rumored That China Wanted to Pay
 Indemnity With Gold Bonds.

Washington, April S.-Eyidentiy con- siderable misunderstanding continues re- garding the bonds which China Is to ex- ecute to the United States in payment of the indemnity for the boxer outrages pro- vided in the protocol of April l, 1900. The statement from Pekin tonight that the American financial agent under instruc- tions from the state department is sub stituting bond providing for the pay ment of the indemnity In gold dollars in place of a silver bond, Is denied tonight in authoritative quarters.
 Our government is disposed to take its own view of the terms of the protocol This provided that China should execute to the United States an indemnity bona at the rate of exchange provided in the protocol and it was alEo provided that the installments of the indemnity paya- ble thereafter should be at the rate of exchange existing when these payments fell due.
 If the United States, desiring not to avail itself of the loss which China would suffer in these payments as a result of the depreciation In silver prefers to de- mand them at the rate of exchange exist ing when the protocol was signed that, 1t Is held, will be a matter which con- cerns us alone and leaves the other pow CTS to do as they please.

OBJECTS ID THE RALEIGH SIGN Photographer Hugh I. Morton
 Asks for Injunction. A NOVEL CASE IN EQUITY Plaintiff Alleges the Men Passing Through His Place of Business to
 Turn on the Lights An
 noy HIm.
A NOVEL CASE IN EQUITY

A novel petition in equity was filed in the City court yesterday. when Hugh T. Morton presented to the clerk petition asking that an injunction be issued to restrain the defendants from attaching wires to the Raleigh Rye'' sign over his studio on the corner of Nineteenth street and Second avenue
 The suit is Hugh T. Morton against John A. Rogers, Sumter Bethea, J. D.. Chichester, J. L. Yancey and c. P. Orr.
 The Allegations.
 The plaintiff alleges that he occupies the third floor of building on the south east corner of Second avenue and Nine teenth street as a photographic gallery and studio, and that he leased this floor until the first of September; that against his protest workmen went on top of the building and erected an incandescent light sign, reading Raleigh Rye a Drink for Men of Brains" He says in the petition that before he paid the last installment on the lease he was told the sign would be discontinued, but 1t was not. He then demanded that the Birmingham Railway, Light and Power company remove their wires, which were connected with the sign, and which were used for lighting 1t, and this was done.
 To Restrain Defendants.
 He prays for an injunction against the defendants to restrain them from re- connecting the wires
 The plaintiff further alleges that the sign is calculated to injure his business and that 1t Is annoying to him to have men going through his place of business to turn on the lights every night.
 He alleges further that he made pro- test against the workmen erecting the sign, but that they gained access to the top of the building through other build ings.
 MT. Morton asks that the court assess damages that have already been done to him by reason of the sign and that an injunction be issued against the relighting of 1t.
