BUY PROPERTY OF
 CUBAN CHURCHES Taft Gives Instructions to Gov-
 ernor Magoon S1,05O,OOO CUSTOM HOUSE The President Gives Directions 0 Pur. chase Property In Havana o- cese According 10 Original
 Recommendations.
S1,O5O,OOO CUSTOM HOUSE

Washington, June 29-In accordance with the directions from President Roose- welt. Secretary Taft today instructed Gov , ernor Magoon to purchase all the church property in Cuba in the diocese of Ha- vana, according to the original recommen- dations.
 As to the church property in the diocese of Santiago, for which an option contem- plated the payment of about s6OO,000, the secretary says he has not been able to secure information as to It's value. The secretary says that the property is not of such character that yielding possession of 1t to the church will cause any great public inconvenience
 The stipulated value of the property In Havana is $l. .499. 300. Under the contract between the military government and the church authorities the United States was given the option to buy at that price less 25 per cent of the rent paid to June 1907, which, being $1lO9O4, leaves bal ance of sl,3SS, GAG, which it Is proposed to pay.
 The secretary says it is true that the custom house property whose value is it's great bone of contention is whether the proximity to the wharf, Is worth $1.050,0O0 alone. But when 1t is considered from the standpoint of q government that must have the property and which. if 1t does not get It by q contract, must obtain 1t by exploitation. there Is not the slightest doubt in his mind of the wisdom of exer- cisng the option. The proposition to con tinue the lease hold arrangement, in order that the republic when restored to control may determine itself, whether the option shall be exercised is not tenable, because the church authorities will not offer for purchase in their hands at a greater price declare that they will close at once with that offer. should the United States allow the option to lapse.

REACTlONARY GENTRY IN A BIG MAJORITY IN CONGRESS IN SES- SION AT MoscoW-THE WORK FoRESHADoWED.

St. Petersburg, June 29.-Unfavorable auguries for the third douma are drawn from the Zemstvo congress, which has been in session this week at Moscow. Membership to this body is dictated oy the classes that will control the election In most of the provinces, and it was thought that the work at this conference would foreshadow the composition of the next parliament
 The ~so-called "black nobility or ''reac- tionary gentry were in large majority, and the deliberations were characterized by unfamiliarity with parliamentary pro- ceedure, and by hostility toward the lip- eral programme which the congress had been called to reform.
 The Zemstvo has recommended some ex- tension of franchise in relation to local self-government, but left all details to be worked out by individuals or the min istry.

Address Roosevelt.

The chambers of commerce have also addressed President Roosevelt as follows:
 We have always watched with pro- found satisfaction the growing strength of the bonds of traditional coupled with the steady progress of the commerce between the two nations. It Is therefore source of deep regret and concern to learn of the actions fre- quently reported since last year of a section of the community in San Fran cisco against Japanese residents there, whose persons and property have thus been exposed to serious dangers. While highly appreciatlng your unremittins efforts in the cause of justice. we hum bly think that if such abuses are al- lowed to continue the development of commerce based on the friendly rcla- tions of the two nations may be even tually retarded.
 We, the undersigned, representa- lives of chambers of commerce, taking special interest in the promotion of our mutual economic relations, are unable to remain silent spectators of this state of affairs We accordingly have ad- dressed tho principal chambers of com merce in America, inviting them to exert their best endeavors for the amelioration of the situation, relying at the same time on your personality and wisdom for a speedy and satisfactory solution of existing difficulties, and we respectfully appeal to you for yodr friendly spirit
