day by the Viceroy of India, Lord Cur
zon of Kedleston. of $4,000 British and

coronation durbar.
The Viceroy, the Duke of Connaught
and the Grand Duke of Hesse. sur
rounded by a brilliant staff, took up
their positions at the bsaluting point
between the grand stands. From every
side an immense multitude of Euro
peanS and natives watched the march
past and cheered the favorite regi-
ments.. Ha
The scene to-day was not less brill
liant in coloring than the preceding
events, and it equalled them in pic
turesqueness, The cavalry, in line
of regiments, followed by the artfl-
lery, formed half a mile in front of
the grand stand, and from this posi-
ton charged down in a long line to
within short distance of the saluting
point
OF all the soldiers reviewed to-day
none made better impression than
the native volunteers, which were led
by native princes magnificently uni
formed and horsed. The imperial
service corps. composed of natives,
which saw. service in China, excited
great admiration and was given a
tremendous reception.

COPELAND WAS CAUGHT
AT TARP0N SPRINGS.
Expected the Young Man VIII be
Brought Here.

Drought mere.
Tampa, Fla, Jan. S.--J. K. Copeland,
the young newspaper man for whom
the police have been looking for sew
eTal days, was located at Tarpon
Springs yesterday. The officers on the
west coast were notified to look out
for the young man, and yesterday he
was found by Marshal Jones. in the
office of the Tarpon Herald, where he
had secured employment He was ar
rested and placed in the city calaboose
and the officers here were notified
Officer Frank Bell was detailed to
get the prisoner, and armed with the
warrants for Copelands arrest, he
went to the place. He took possession
of the prisoner last night, bringing
him to the city this morning. He is
now confined in the city Jail, and a
telegram has been sent to the sheriff
of Chatham county, Georgia, notify
ing him of the arrest. An answer is
expected at any time, and ii is prob
able that one of the officers will take
the young man away some time to-
morrow.
Copeland was seen at the Jail this
morning, and appears to take his r.
rest easily. He contends that he viii.
get out of the diff Guilty in some n.in-
ner, and hopes to effect a compromises
with the party who swore out the war
rant against him. He says that while
stopping at Burroughs, twelve miles
from Savannah. he assisted the agent
of the Atlantic Coast Line in the sta
ton. The agent would leave him in
charge of the Office while he went out
hunting, and he was there for several
days. One day, wishing to come to
Tampa, he took ticket to this point,
and also a baggage check. When he
left he did not say anything about the
ticket or check, and when the matter
was discovered the agent Immediately
had a warrant sworn out for his ar
rest. He said that he had plenty of
chances to steal large amounts of
money If he wanted to do so, but all
he desired was ticket to Tampa, the
money for which he was going to re-
turn upon receiving employment here.
He had hoped TO straighten the matter
out before the theft was detected. He
has no friends in that part of the
country. and If a compromise is not
affected, he will go to Jail and face the
music.
The proprietor of the Tarpon Her
aid was loath to give up the young
man, He seems to be a good adver-
Using man, and after working for a
day brought the paper a great deal
of business. He greatly impressed his
new employer as being q hustling bust
ness man.
Besides skipping his board bin at
the Almeria Hotel. he committed no
wrongs in this city.
1t is probable that Chief Jones will
take Copeland to Savannah tomorrow
morning.

BEET SUGAR GROWERS
Withdraw Opposition to the Cuban
Tariff Treaty.

Washington, Jan. S.-The American
Beet Sugar Association held it's annual
session here to-day, and passed resolu-

the ratification of the Cuban reciproc-

treaty be so amended as to express in
precise language what is intended to
be secured by it to the beet sugar man.
ufacturers of the United States. viz. +.
That during the period of five years
covered by the treaty, no sugar ex-
ported from Cuba shall be admitted to
the United States to a reduction of
duty greater than 20 per cent. of the
rates of duty thereon, as provided by
the tariff act of July "a, 1897.
The association also adopted res
olution protesting against the unneces-
sary stimulation of the sugar and to-
bacco industries of the Philippines ISL

auctions, thus, as the resolution stated,
encouraging the people of those islands
where the labor is but a few cents per
day, to produce those things which this
country can produce, rather than such
commodities as we are unable to pro-

The action of the association was not
unanimous, the vote on the passage of
the resolution standing three to two,

NO GREAT INCREASE
VIII Result to Americas Cuban
Trade.

Havana, Jan. 8.--The Senate Com
mittee on Foreign Affairs, which has
been holding conferences on the re-
ciprocity treaty with representatives of
different economic societies, brought its
hearings to a close to-day. They all
approved the treaty, but urged that
home industrials be protected.
Senores GAMBIA and Rodriguez, rep
resenting the Merchants Union. were
asked if they thought the treaty would
divert the greater part of Cuban trade
to American channels. They said that
unless the Americans adopted different
business methods and tried to suit the
tastes of Cuban merchants, the in
crease in trade would not be over 20
per cent 1t is estimated that the
treaty will decrease Cuba's custom re-
ceipts by about $1,000, 900 a year. The
government has assured the Merchants
Union that under the new tariff am
pie protection will be given to home
Industries.
1t is believed here that the Commit
tee on Foreign Affairs will undoubted-
ly report in favor of accepting the
treaty. and that it will be approved by
both houses.
