a sufficient amount will be added to bring

"It Is believed that this method of oh

tions mudo by tho Philippine commission to
any ad valorem duties, upon (he ground
that they would afford temptation to under
valuation and bo dlfllcult to fix In the ab

ticable dogren of under-valuallon under tho
system proposed would bo trifling upon tho
net duties paid and not worth tho risk of
necking to defraud tho revenuu. Absolute
accuracy In valuation will be less Import
ant, however, than under the American
tariff and the proposed system. In the na
ture of the casr, will tend to equalize dif
fer! ores arising under tho system of purely
specific duties, even if the equalization Is
not perfect.
"The limit of 1." per cent will apply to a
great variety of articles under thu metal

implements, cutlery, necdlca, pens, miscel

and of zinc, copper and nickel will bo re
quired to pay duties of not less than 15
per cent. In ail these eases tho specific
duty will bo collected, whether it amounts
to 15 per cent or more, but where it falls

SAN JUAN, P. It., May 28. Today, when
tho full report o' tho Dcllnri caso was pub
llthcd here, there was evidenced a general
fcollng of disappointment among Porto
Mean merchants, who had hoped that tho
court's decision would glvo them a year's
free trade, Porto Ulcami nro reluctant to
bellevo thut toda"'s full roport Is true.
Tho concensus of opinion of' tho matter
seems to bo thai tho Porto Hlcan legisla
ture should be convened In extra session, to
declaro Porto lllca self-supportltig' without
tho collection of customs on imports be
tween Porto Uleo and the United States.
A general spirit o. complaint that all tho
supremo court's dceWlons were ngqlnst
Porto Itlco Is noticeable. When San Juan
merchants were questioned on the subject
thoy manifested much regret at tho out
como, as they had hoped of n refunding of
all tho moneys paid under the 15 per cent
application ot tho Dlnglcy duties. It was
generally expected that tho court's de
cisions would grant Porto Rico 'free trade
and Its citizens full citizenship aud consti
tutional privileges. When told that If tho
latter privilege hud been granted tho In
ternal revenue laws of the United States
would bo applied to tho Island nud that nil
funds and customs thereunder collected
Porto Means questioned In the matter ac
knowledged that this would bo bad, aud
that their preson. status was preferable,
as thoy did no: bellevo that tho Island
would Btund the collection of the United
Statos Internal revenue, and that such col
lections, If attempted, would necessitate
an even heavier 'iropcrty tnx for tho main
tcnanco of Porto Itlco.
HniiUeiK I'rcdlfl Itctlval.
Only a few of tho Porto Rico business
men understood the tmportanco of tha su
premo court's decision. Those who aro
hankers predict an Immediate revival of
hutlness, uow that the status of the coun
try has been ddolded.
Uy agreement with New York houses

The members of tho cabinet seem to

$75,0,000 from custom collections on Im

tax will be In force July 1 and as assess
ments will be made on an assessed -valuation
of $100,000,000, cxcls'o duties are now
being collected.
Porto Means are generally of the opinion
that their legislature should now act. It
Is understood that Governor Allen is glvlnj
his earnest consideration to the practica
bility of securing, nt an early date, frco
trado relations between Porto Uleo and
Germany.

As a result of the consultations In Wash
ington between Governor Allen and Presi
dent McKlnley, Mr. Hollcnder will In a few
days submit a report to Governor Allen
showing tho operations of the formot's new
revenue act from which It will appear that
expectations nte entertained ns to tho
ndequacy of the measure. It has been fully
realized that the Insular treasury Is rapidly
approaching a position where It enn dis
pense with the customs receipts accruing
from trade with the United States without
endangering the present Insecure financial
position of tho Island. Uy th,o provision of
section a of the Foraker bill free trado
becomes operutlvc whenever tt-c Porto
Hlcan legislature passes u resolution that
an adequate ayttcm of Insular taxation has
been put Into operation and President Mc
Klnlcy, upon notification of this resolution,
Is to proclaim free trade for Porto Hleo,
If tho plan now tn contemplation If. carried
out. Governor Allen will eon'-eno tho legls
lature solely for the purpose of passing this
resolution. This action will probably be
taken July 2.", nt which time tho Hollcnder
bill will have been In operation for nearly
one month, and It Is probable that free

PHILADELPHIA, May 2$. The thirteenth
Presbyterian general assembly was dis
solved nt C: 15 o'clock by Moderator Mill
ion, after having been In session nenily
two weeks, during whtch time mnny mat
tcts ct tho utmost Importance to tho church
were considered. Chief among theso was
tho question regarding the revision of tho
confession of faith. After n discussion con
tinuing nearly four diiys, this momentous
subject was referred to a special committee,
who will make recommendations ns to tho
manner in which the creed should bo re
vised and present them to th noxt general
assembly, which meets In New York.
Today for the first lime since tho assem
bly convened the equanimity of the coni
mltsloncrs was disturbed by the Introduc
tion of personalities. Tho trouble came
over tho discussion of the chairman of thu
revision committee.
Rev. J. D. Moffat objected to the phrase
ology of the resolution creating tho com
mittee on revision. Tho icsolutlnn author
ized the continuance ot Dr, Dickey's com
mittee nnd Dr. Moffat asserted that this
committee had been dissolved when their
report was adopted. He, therefore, sug
gested that the records be made to show
that n new committee was appointed, even
though Its membership should consist ot the
old committee.
The wording of the resolution was ac
cordingly altered and the minutes were
adopted,
Then nrose the question as to the chair
manship of the committee. Dr. Herrlck
Johnson said In view of the fact that Dr.
Dickey had acted as chairman ot the old
committee, It would be discourteous to
select n new chairman. A motion was
made empowering the committee to elect
their own chairman, but this was de
feated.
Dr. James E. Moffat of Cumberland. Mil.,
said that Dr. Dickey had been mndo chair
man of tho last committee because ot his
ofilco as moderator of the assembly. He
moved the election of Moderator Mlnton
as chairman of the new committee on re
vision nnd the motion was carried.
niuiilxy incut for Iille Mlnlntcra.
The first order of tho day was the report
of tho special committee on vncancy and
supply, rend by Judge Robert N. Wilson of
this city. Tbo report contains plnns for
tho employment of unemployed ministers
and the supply of vacant churches. To
carry out theso plans tho adoption of tho
following resolutions Is recommended:
Thut .ill ecclesiastical changes shall be
reported Immediately upon their occurrence
by tho stated cleik of the presbytery to tho
stated clerK or tne general nsseivtmy, who i
shall Issue n supplement to the inlniitesnt
regular Intervals containing a list ot such
clianges. Tlise lists snail do turnisimi
without charge to the chairman of the
presbvterlal and Hynndleal commlttoeH, to
the clerkM of nresbvterl nnd synoi and
upon request to unemployed ministers and
to tne clerKs ot sessions or. vncnni con
gregations, That a (.landing committer) ot me ns
sembly consisting of live ministers and four
elders Is hereby constituted to be known
lis tho stnndlmr rommltteo on vacancy and
supply. To this committee shall bo referred
for consideration nil mutters connected with
the subjects or unemployed ministers auu
the supply of vacant churches.
Tho committee, with tho exception of
Rev. Dr. Hoberi V. Sample, chnlrman,
deemed Inexpedient the establishment of a
permanent committee of the assembly to
net as a bureau ot Information In the matter
of vacnncy and supply. Dr. Samplo offered
resolutions appointing this permanent com
m'ttco with a salaried corresponding secre
tary. Tho portion of tho report In which
all agreed was adopted and the remainder
referred back to the commltteo to bo re
ported upon at the next nssembly.
No Otri'Mluhl for Yoiiiib People.
Tho report was finally taken up seriatim.
The resolution authorizing the ndoptlon of
a plan of oversight and establishing a
standing committee on young people's wotk
was defeated. The rctnalneder of tho rfport
was adopted.
Rev. Dr. S. J. Nlccolls of St. Louis moved
to reconsider a previous motion electing
Moderator Mlnton chairman of the revision
committee. Dr. Nlccolls said tho election
of Dr. Mlnton wns a severe reflcot.on on
tho chairman of the former commltiee.
"I Miggost ns a substitute," snul Dr.
Nlccolls, "that the members of the revision
commltteo be Instructed to meet tomorrow
and elect their own chairman." Tho sub
stitute was ruled out of order, Tn. Nlccolls
not having been present when tho fttct
motion was carrlod.
The motion to reconsider was then mado
by Rov. W. D. Crockett of Canton, Pa. Dr.
Dickey secured tho floor and ruuetlcd th?
assembly to voto down the motion to re
consider. Ho did not think tho at sembly
meant a reflection on him, but he desired
to honor his successor. The motion was
lost.
Dr. Roberts, stated clerk, as chairman,
read tho report of the special committee
ou young people's work, Tho committee
expressed tho opinion that the pastor
should bo the recognized leador of all de
partments of congregational activity and
therefore also tho head of young people's
organizations. The committee also pre
sented n plan for the presbyterlal nnd syn
odlcal supervision of "over sight" of young
people's soelotles.
Tho closing hours of tho assembly were
devoted to routine matters, Tho report of
tho committee nn temperance urged min
isters to call the attention of congressmen
In tholr district to the necessity for tho
completion of legislation now pending re
garding the drink traffic In the IslandB ot
the Pacific. The roport also urges the
government to take effectlvo action towards
tho suppression ot tho liquor traffic In all
of the nation's new possessions. The com
mltteo on the Peoria plan of selecting
standing committees approved the system.
In accordance with the resolution offered
yesterday by John II. Converse ot this city,
a special commltteo on evangelical work
was appointed.

Joseph V. Berry, general secretary of

has this to say In a recent Issue ot his

Tho city of Onmlm received some stun
ning blows from the business panic of 1S93.
For several yenrs dark clouds hung before
the llnnnclal skies. Some prophets gravel
shook their heads, sure thru tho town had
seen Us best days. Out they were nils
taken. With the. return of "good times all
departments of business have had a re
vival. Commercial life Is upon n prosperous
basis, building operations nro lively end
signs of solid growth are everywhere
visible. Tha present population Is slight y
In excess of luo.Ono. South Omaha In rertljy
ft part of the city, and gives an added .,
0W people. The geographical situation of
the Nebraska metropolis seems to be an
Index finger pointing to a population of 200,-

The Methodist Eplscopnl church Is shar

which were heavily burdened with debts
havo paid their bills. Only two trouble
sumo problems remain to be solved, I. e.,
that nt First church nnd that at Hanscom

plnns nro already under consideration to
cast off the debt burdens. When that day
of Jubilee dawns nil Nebraska Methodism
will rejoice.
Bishop MeOnbe went to Omaha soon after

captured the city He rented some rooms

Tho bishop wns sent off to South America
and rill Nebraska hones were dashed to the

under our present system of superintend

But Konid May day some general confer

KANSAS CITY. May 28. It Is announced
that the consolidation on July 1 of the Kan
sas City, Fort Scott & Memphis nnd the
'Frisco railways will mark tho complete
effaccment of thn former road. The name
of the new property will, It Is said, be
styled the St. Louis San Francisco. It
was reiterated today on good authority that
tho executive officials of tho amplified
Frisco system will bet B. F. Yoakum,
president: B. L. Wlnchcll. vice president,
and A. S. Dodge, traffic manager. Officials
below these are being weighed In the bnl
ancc and tho fate of many of them yet re
mains to be decided. No one Is to be dis
charged because of the removal of the
Memphis general offices to St. Louis, but
officials and clerks will bo permitted to re
sign. It Is announced that resignations will
bo In order within a few days.
The first effective step toward actual con
solidation of the two systems will be taken
nt once by the abandoning of superfluous
trains. Next Sunday the 'Frisco will take
oft a passenger train between Kansas City
and Springfield and the Memphis railway
will change the time of Its train to that
point so as to handlo tho business. The
Memphis will alto on that day abandon two
trains on tho Clinton division, between
Kansas City nnd Ash Grove, nt tho same
time extending other trains to cover the
gap. Tho economy tn train service caunot
be thoroughly brought about until a con
necting link between the two roads from
Miami to Afton, 1. T., now building. Is
completed. This will be early In July.

NEW YORK. May 28. Tho Evening Post
says: A 15-potnt rise In the Lackawanna
shares today, from yesterday's rise ot
5s points, and the 714 points recorded
last week altogether over 25 points In tho
Inst ten days started speculation again In
Wall street as to developments which may
be Impending In Lackawanna's position,
It wns learned today, on perfectly trust
worthy authority, that a deal of some lm
portanco Is pending.
The theory generally accepted, that the
road Is desired by the Gould Interests as
a seaboard outlet for their southwestern
connections, rests at present on assump
tion. As regards the question whether
control of Lackawanna could be transferred
the point wns raised today that the stock
was so largely held In estates that tho con
trol certainly could not bo secured, after
the mnnnor of Mr. Hill's coup In Burling
ton, by heavy buying In the stock market.
Control of l.ackawnnna, If It passes, will
he through negotiations for large blocks of
shares with managers of estates.
