STANDPATTERs are making what they
can out of the increase of customs re-
ceipts, and claim that the growth will
greatly influence the legislative situation
regarding the tariff by lessening the
force OF the argument for revenue read
justment Receipts in September, 1905,
exceeded $27, OOO,O 900, against s2S, OOO,-
600 for September, 1904, and for the
quarterly period exceeded by $40. 900, =
600 those of the corresponding quarter
for 1904. The Treasury officials pre-
dict that October will see a correspond
ing gain. Aside from the months when
impOrtations we're abnormally stimulat-
ed by the announced incoming of a new
tariff, carrying higher rates, the present
customs receipts are the highest in the
history of the government.

Paris, Oct. 5.-Tbe French Cable
Company has refused to consider the
proposition made by President Castro,
of Venezuela, to deal secretly with it in
the settlement of the dispute which led
to the cancellation of the company's

Another Strike Imminent.

Chicago, Oct. 5.-Switchmen all along
the Grand Trunk Railway system are
awaiting orders this morning to 60 on
strike. The trouble, which has been
smoldering several days in the Elsdon
yards assumed more extensive proportions
following the conference of the chief Off
Gals of the railroad. 1t was decided at
a meeting of vice presidents and local
heads to ignore the demands of the men.
Superintendent Egan was upheld. Grand
Master Frank T. Hawley, of the Switch
mems Union, interpreted the notice post
ed by the road, that the union men
would be reemployed on individual ap-
plication, as declaration of war. His
belief was strengthened later when Vice
Grand Master J. B. Corners and a COM
mittee of strikers were refused an audi
euce by Egan. "The probabilities are
that the entire Grand Trunk system will
he involved in the strike shortly" says
Hawley. 1t is admitted by Hawley that
only 200 switchmen can be counted on
to respond to the strike command. The
Elsdon strike was called because the road
officials refused to make changes in the
working conditions of the swtchmeD.

Equitable Life Assurance Society.

New York, Oct. 5.-District Attorney
Jerome stated to Justice Davy in the
criminal branch of the Supreme Court
today that he would not ask for an ex-
traordinary session of the grand jury for
holding an examination into the affairs
of the Equitable Life Assurance Society
until after the completion of the labors
of the joint legislative committe which
is now probing the insurance business of
the State. If matters which have de-
veloped concerned only the Equitable
Life Assurance Society, he declared that
he probably would have asked today for
the impanelling of special grand jury,
but there have been numerous develop
ments since he made his application for
the continuance of the June term, and it
would merely complicste matters for the
District Attorney to conduct separate
investigation al this time.

Bishop Potter.

Rt. Rev. Henry G. Potter, Protestant
Episcopal bishop of the Diocese Of New
York, and Mrs. Potter sailed for Liver
pool yesterday on the steamship Oceanic
Bishop Potter, just before he went on
board the steamer, denied that at the re-
cent Episcopal diocesan convention he
bad frowned upon the resolution submit
ted By Rev. J. NJ. Chew, asking that
the gospel of honesty be proclaimed
anew, in view of the scandals lately
br ,ught out by the investigation into in

al believe in waiting for results and not
jumping to conclusions before the evil
dence Is all in. People are so prone to
be carried away by what comes out in
print when an investigation such as this
is being conducted. They say things
and think things and finally arrive at a
conclusion oftentimes far from being the
right one."
Bishop Potter then took up the dis
cussion of woman suffrage. He said it
was grotesque to claim that great many
women are not better trained or as intel
ligent in the handling of the ballot than
millions of men.

as much concerned over the ballot as a

munity and the enactment of laws af-
fecting that property. This ia only just.
Under the present laws that woman
without ballot is without protection
and is a victim"

Bishop Van de Vyver May Resign.

1t was reported in Baltimore yester-
day that Right Rev. A. Van de Vyyer,
Bishop of Richmond, has resigned or is
about to offer his resignation to the con-
gregation of the propaganda at Rome
As Bishop Of Richmond, Bishop Van de
Vyyer is a sufiragsn of Cardinal Glib
bons. as the Archbishop of Baltimore,
the see of Richmond belonging 10 the
province Of Baltimore. In connection
with the rumored resignation of Bishop
Van de Vyver, it is stated he may be
named as the successor of the late Arch
bishop Chappelle, in the archdiocese of
New Orleans. Mgr. Chappelle died
shortly after the outbreak of yellow fever
in that city.
The appointment of Mgr Chapelle's
successor will be made by the congrega-
ton of the propaganda at Rome from the
lists of names sent by the archbshops of
the country, the bishops of the province
of New Orleans (Which is composed of
the Sees of Dallas, Galveston, Little
Rock, Mobile, Nstchitoches, San An
tonic, and the Vicariates-Apostolic of
Brownsville and Indian territory, and
by the priests of the archdiocese of New
Orleans.
Another prelate who is mentioned as
a probable successor to Mgr. Chapele is
Rt. Rev. Henry Grsnjon, Bishop of
Tucson, Ariz. DR.. GranjOn lived at st.
Mary's Seminary, Baltimore, for several
years prior to his conservation, and was
at the head of the society for the propa-
cation of the faith in the United States.
His work in that office was marked with
considerable success and he made warm
friends of those with whom he came in
contact.
The Richmond Times-Dispatch of to.
day says; practically nothing could be
learned in Richmond last night concern
ing the reported resignation Of Bishop |
Van de Vyver. A representative of the
Times Dispatch called at the Episcopal
residence shortly after midnight, but was
unaOle 10 OBTAIN statement rom the |
bishop, who had long since retired and |
could not be disturbed. The Rev. Father
Bowler, vicar-general Of the diocese, was
astOnished when informed ofthe reported
of his superior. While it
was, of course. impossible for him to say
what had or had not occurred at Rome,
upon the occasion of the bishops recent
visit, he expressed an utter disbelief in
the rumOr.
The finance committee of the Norfolk
City Council has reported adversely to
the Common Council on the request OF
The city school board for an appropria-
ion of $50, 900 with which to erect a
grammar school building for the pur-
pose of making room in the other school
