THE WOMEN'S CHAMPIONSHIP.
Mrs. Manice to Play Miss Badgeley and
Mrs. Stout to Meet Miss Vanderhoef.

II was a crucial day in the women's metropolitan
golf championship at the Richmond County links
yesterday The eight survivors from Wednesdays
round met to decide the honor Of appearing in the
semi-fnaIs and each match had direct bear
ing on the championship award the interest was
keener than at any time since the tournament
began The result of the play leaves as the semi
fnalists this morning Mrs. F. 4 Mauice. of Bal
t,1srol the present title holder: Mrs Charles T.
stout Of Apawarnis. the national champon: Miss
Ruth Badgeley Of Harbor Hill. and Miss Louise
vanderhoef. OF Ardsley- Mrs Manice is paired
against Miss Badgeley and Mrs Stout against Miss
vanderhoef.
The days Developments brought many predictions
of the final outcome, and unless something u1fore
seen occurs the final round will be between Mrs
Manice and Mrs. Stout Last year in the cham
p!onship at Batusrol. these two met in the semi
finals and Mrs. Manice won by up. The chances
seem to favor repetition Of that victory, although
Mrs Stout has been playing even. consistent
game that will prove harder to beat than was her
somewhat erratic exhibition OF a year ago.
Yesterday Mrs Stout met Mrs NJ. D. Paterson
OF Englewood. On account of the thick mist il
was necessary for the players to use fcrecaddes
TO watch the balls. and in some instances il was
difficult to follow the drives Mrs. Paterson did
not show her best form. and Mrs. Stout had little
difficulty in winning by up and . 10 play The

LIBERALS DENoUNCE CHAMBERLAIN.

Colonial Disputes and Foreign Conflicts

London, June 5.-Letters are published this morn

Ger. Lord Ripon, Lord TweeGmouth and other Lib
eral leaders. all vigorously denouncing Mr. Cham
berlan's imperial zollverein proposals merely

and Lord Ripon argue that they would be a fruit

and the colonies and of conflict with foreign
tries. Lord Spencer says the country ought TO
press the government to get the nations opinion
without delay the details of the scheme
The Daily News asserts that in the debate IN
Parliament on the Colonial Secretarys proposals
Sir Michael Hicks-Beach and Mr.. GOschen will both
disavow Mr.. Chamberlain's policy. while the Duke
of Devonshire. Mr.. Richie, the Chancellor of the
Exchequer; Lord Lansdowne, Foreign Minister, and
Lord Selborne. First Lord Of the Admiralty, are
all against the Colonial Secretary. 1t is not i'm
probable, adds the Liberal organ that the Premier.
finding sucn grave differences of opinion among
the members OF the Cabinet vii. resign at once.
With THE Daily News however. the wish is
father TO the thought, and n authoritative quar-
tiers word of d possibility Of Mr. Balfour's Tesig
nation is heard AT the same time there is ample
evidence that strong body of opinion is forming
within the Conservative ranks against Mr.. Cham
beriain and urging MI. Balfour, head of the
government to enlighten the public regarding the
governments real ideas and intentions.

DepJorabIe Conditions IN Famine
Districts of China.

London, June Mail advices received here
from Hong Kong. dated May 3, say Governor
Blake had then just received the report Of Mr.
Clemente, the British official sent into the in
terror to investigate famine conditions. He
visited the Governor Of Kwang-Si, who reported
that about 10000 inhabitants were then in
immediate want of the necessaries OF life, be-
sides large number who were badly off The
British official says he found the people Of Tsam-
Chau in the vicinity OF Wu-Chau enduring ter
rible sufferings. They had sold their entire
possessions. including their farm implements,
and the water buffaloes with which they had
been accustomed 10 plough; they had disposed
OF the tiles from their houses. and. finally, they
had sold their daughters. sons and wives. The
farmstead5 were simply bare walls and were
empty Of everything except a little straw for
beds
The official adds that the destitution must in
crease until the next rice harvest at the end Of
july This, happily, promises well. The spirit
of the people is admirable, the farmers yoking
themselves 10 the few remaining ploughs in
place Of buffaloes. Subscription lists were
opened at 4 meeting held at Hong Kong, and
the appeals found ready response from the
foreigners and natives Of that city

TO TAX MASONIC TEMPLE.
ALSO MEDICAL SOCIETY.
Commissioners Hold Lac ETempt-
ing Them Unconstitutional.

The tax commissioners practically have de-
cided to place on the assessment rolls the real
estate OF The Masonic Temple and OF the Kings
County Medical Society, despite the fact that
these two institutions gained last winter the
passage Of general laws designed to exempt
them from taxation. The outcome of the battle
is OF unusual interest to the fraternal and medi-
cal societies throughout the State The Tax De-
partTpent will take the ground that the laws
passed last winter were unconstitutional
The Masonic Temple is this years assess
ment roll for real estate valued at S1,2OOOoo
This large building at Twenty-third-st- ana
Sxth-ave. 1t will be remembered, is the homo
of the Garfield National Bank, which pays
large rental. Last year the friends of the
temple obtained the following amendment TO the
law exenpting charitable and religious societies
from taxation:
And it is further provided that the real prop
erty of any fraternal corporation, association. or
body, created To build and maintain building or

Senator McCabe, of Brooklyn, himself prac-
tislng physician, gained the passage Of bill
which has been signed by the Governor, ex-
empting the Kings County Medical Society from
taxation for real estate up TO S100,OOo- The law
gives similar exemption to the New-Ycrk Coun-
" Medical Society, and in each Of the other
counties Of the State the limit IS put at S5O,oOO.
A year two ago, when the Kings County
society appealed TO the courts for exemption
from taxation, Justice Woodward, of the APP
pelate Division. decided against it. in an opin-
ion which said in part:
