DIsTURBERs ELECTED
And Services Then Go on in Greek
Church at Manchester, N. n.

Manchester, n. H., April 4.-Services
were held in ST. Georges Greek Ortho-
dox church here today for the first time
in three weeks, but only after large
number of disturberS composing dis
senting faction of the church, had been
elected by the police. Rev. Constan-
tinos Hemandos of Nashua, whose as
signment to the Manchester church
precipitated the trouble, officiated at
the services. and Rev. Pericles Pap
georgeou, the former pastor of the
church, was not present
The affairs of the church have been
in a turmoil for some time, and lately
have grown so serious as to have at
tracted the attention of the minister
resident of Greece at Washington. The
first sign of open trouble came with
the deposing of George Copadis, as
president of the society. Copadis
espoused the cause of the former pas
tor and the adherents of the deposed
president and pastor created today's
disturbances, the police claim.

FRENCH LABOR AGlTAToRs
Are Laying Plans for Big Strike
AGAINST Government Oppression.

Paris, April 4.-The revolutionary
labor organizations have made another
move in their campaign against the
government A meeting which was
attended by $4,000 workmen was held
today on the initiative of the unions OF
electricians and masons. A large num-
Der of postal and other government
servants were present and the mem
bers OF other unions. M. Patud, sec
rotary of the Electricians Union and
M. Yvotot. a leader Of the General Con-
federation of Labor, made revolution
ary speeches, as did also several other
labor agitators A resolution was then
adopted that the workmen should unite
to obtain the right to strike for the
employees of the state. 1t was decided
also to appoint central strike COM
mittee, the composition of which VIII
be kept secret to prevent arrest OF the
members. This committee will be en-
powered to take whatever action 1t
deems proper and may even call gen.
eral strike in event of repressive meas
ures on the part Of the government.

the hull of the Royal Savage" will be
raised and shown on the lake during
the week of July 4, which is to be
wholly given up to the tercentenary

their reports are most encouraging,
says Senator HILL They find that while
the superstructure is entirely gone, the
hull is practically intact. The COM

permanent preservation of the historic
old vessel are being considered.

LIQUOR SELLERS ALARMED
At the Steady Growth of Prohibition
Throughout Country.

Boston, April 4.-That the liquor in
tercsts must get into action to offset
the growing prohibition sentiment
throughout the country, was the con-
clusion found today BY the executive
board Of the New England branch of
the Hotel and Restaurant Employees
and BartendprS international Alliance,
which met here to discuss the coming
national convention in Minneapolis in
May.
A resolution was framed to be pre-
sentcd to the national convention
which embodied the ideas and plans of
the New England branch for the better
protection of tho liquor interest. 1t
calls for legislative committee to act
for the organizations a law granting a
permanent license system to all cities
of 10000 population or over; Dill
limiting local option to municipalities
ard towns with u population of less
than 10000; each municipality to have
complete control OF the license com
mission. 2-3 of the fees to go to the
town and ID to the state; a levy OF
$40 on all liquor dealers to support
Il board of inspectors, the inspectors &c
see that all liquors are 80 per cent
pure under heavy penalty in belief that
drunkenness is due mostly to adulter-
ated liquors.

FRENCH TARIFF COMMISSION
Makes Several Concessions1n Favor Of
the United States.

| "
Paris, April 4.-The tariff commission.
as the result of violent protests from
home and foreign interests, especially
| England, has agreed to certain amend
ments, covering chiefly the metal and
| textile schedules. Although the amend
| ments have not yet been made public, it
| is learned that several notable conces-
sions have been made in favor of the
United States The maximum duty on
heavy agricultural machinery, practically
all of which comes from the United
States, who originally was increased from
10 to 16 francs per 100 kilos has now been
reduced to II and the minimum from nine
to eight. The maximum duty on type
writer's has been reduced from IS francs
to As each and the minimum from so to
so francs. The proposed increases on
sewing machines have been abandonded
and the present rate will be restored
M. Morel, vice president of the commits
sion, and the other members, consider
that these concessions should convince
the United States of Frances solicitude
concerning the preservation of good COM
mercial relations between the two coun-
tries The big increase in the duty on
cotton seed oil. against which the United
States especially protested, has not been
changed, it is explained, because it was
necessary to compensate for oleaginous
seeds being placed upon the dutiable list.
The manufacturers who handle cotton
seed oil and the manufacturers of edible
oils and other food products, however,
intend to carry the fight on this schedule
to the floor of the Senate.
The trainers of the French bill are
watching the progress of the tariff bill
in the United States with keen interest
and would welcome especially any indica-
tons that the American Congress would
wider latitude in the subsequent negotia-
tions with France and other countries
They protest most emphatically against
the impression in the United States that
the French revision is aimed particu-
lafly at that country and explain that
such revision is made imperative to
meet the new discriminating systems
adopted by Germany, Russia, Austria,
Switzerland and Spain. -
The object in raising the maximum
so per cent. above the minimum is to
compel other countries to accord their
minimums, which they now refuse to
do, on the ground that the present diff
ferenceS between the French maximum
and minimum tariffs is, not a sufficient
inducement. 1t is pointed out that the
United States, which takes less French
goods than England or Germany, pays
the maximum rates because it is not
willing to offer commensurate conces-
sions for the French minimum rate as
witness to the refusal of that country
to ratify the 1901 reciprocity treaty.
The general impression is that the
new tariff bill, from a scientific stand
point is far behind modern European
tariffs, and it is believe that should
certain discriminating sections be
adopted it is certain to precipitate a
tariff war with the continent. All
Europe is ready to retailiate by in
creasing the maximum tariffs to a pro-
hibitory point.

OPPOSE SULLYS SCHEME.
Georgia Cotton Men Have No Use for
His Chain of Warehouses.

Savannah, Ga, April 4.-Statements
of local cotton factors and some re-
ports received from other cities in
Georgia, indicate that the plan of Dam
iel j. Sully to throw q chain OF cotton
warehouses across the South capable
of holding one-third of q years cotton
crop will be strongly opposed if it ever
threatens to become q fact and that
it will have very slight, if any support
at all in this section.
A member of the Savannah Cotton
Exchange stated today that the plan
in the first place is impracticable. that
had the South wanted it. the plan of
the farmers union would long ago
have secured support, instead of Mr..
Sully's plan, and that cotton factors
see in it nothing to commend itself to
them or to the planters.
He indicated that no improvements
on present conditions can be expected
from this new source and that locally
efforts along that line would meet with
probably more than passive resistance.
