St. Matthew's congregation met yesterday in the old church for the last Sunday ser- vice. Beyond the announcement of the hours for the daily services this week there was no reference made to the impending change. Until Thursday or Friday masses will be said at 6 and 7 every morning im the basement of the old church, where the May devotions will be held each evening. By the last of the week the pastoral resi- dence will be also changed to the house adjoining the new church. Next Sunday and hereaftér all the services will be held in the new edifice. The 9 o'clock mass on Sunday will be celebrated in the old church during the coming month until the close of the Sunday school term. The benches from the basement will be moved up there for the accommodation of the children and others who will attend. A genuine feeling of loneliness was apparent throughout the sh yesterday and found its expression ad faces at the various services. For the most of the parishioners the severing of the old ties has been made with a hard wrench, and everybody feels just a little bit better when a chance comes to show affection for the old church and its sur- roundings. —_—- > The Cuban steamer arriving at Tampa last night brought news discrediting Marti’s i Passengers assert that his death ed in Havana by either Cubans or Spaniards.

COMMISSIONER HAWES WAS DECEIVED Many Rumors of Filibustering Ex- peditions. EXTRA SESSION CALLED a SAN FRANCISCO, May 26.--The steam- ship China has arrived from Honolulu, bringing the following advices to the Asso- clated Press: HONOLULU, May 20.—The correspon- dence between the British commissioner, Hawes, and the foreign office will soon end, with the laurels in the hands of the foreiga office. The claim of British citizenship made by the political prisoners, Rickard and Walker, has been completely refuted by the evidence submitted by the foreign office. The written application of these men for naturalization, the payment of fees, the taking the oath of allegiance and the service of a year in the legislature of one of them, had carefully been probed, and the British commissioner finds that he was deceived by the statements of these men, and he will so report to the British foreign office. It was the expectation of these men that the British government would interfere in a summary manner, and valists are bitteriy disappointed that the case goes against them. There are many rumors of filibustering expeditions, The government received in- formation of such a positive nature re- garding the fitting out of one expedition trom Puget Sound that it at once armed the steamer Lohua and commissioned it as a@ revenue cutter. It has made several cruises around the islands, but has not dis- covered any hostile vessel. On the 13th instant Paul Neumann was retained by Jonah Kalanlanole to com- mence habeas corpus proceedings In behalf of the latter. Kalanianole was a prince under the monarchy. He was convicted on a charge of treason and was sentenced to three years’ imprisonment and to pay a fine of $1,000, He will test the constitu- tionality of the military court proceedings. The matter will be brought before the court in a few days. The trial of John E. Bush and Joseph Nawahawi has ended in a defeat for the government. These men were arrested pre- vious to the January uprising on a charge of conspiracy. They were committed for trial on the testimony of two disreputable individuals who were spies in the scrvice of the government. The capture of a few rifles ‘on Bush's premises was the only damaging evidence against the men. Na- wahawi was convicted, and in Bush’s case the Jury disagreed.

Next day Honeck went into the field, and did not have an opportunity to tell Smith of his discoveries fur a month. When he did so Smith waz angry because he had not been iold first, refused to hear explanations, and ten days later he was arrested and thrown into jail. He says no charge was made, and he was refused com- munication with the American consul. He was finally told that he must leave the islands, or he would be imprisoned for thirty-five years, guilty or innocert. He chose the former alternative, and was given an honorable discharge from the army. : ear eee FS KIPLING’S “MULVANEY.” An Old Soldier Who Says He Was the Original. SAN FRANCISCO, May —The Call has discovered the original of Rudyard Kip- ling's “Private Mulvaney.” He is William McManus, and he lives in San Francisco. To him, aceording to the Call's story, Kip- ling is indebted for many of the marvelous stories that has made him famous.

PHILADELPHIA, Pa., May 27.—Thirteen deputies hired by Internal Revenue Col- lector Doyle of this district to assist in collecting the income tax have been oust- ed from their positions under the recent decision of the Supreme Court declaring that portion of the tariff law unconstitu- ticnal. According to the collector’s re- turns, he had collected about a million ana a quarter of dollars when the adverse de- cision cut off further business in the in- come tax line. Collector Doyle has receiv- ed many letters, some requesting, some demanding, that the money paid by them shall be returned. This 1s impossible, the ccllector says, for all of his returns were fcrwarded to Washington immediately on collection, and every book and paper rela- tive to the subject has been sent to the capital city.

The severest storm that has appeared within the region of observation since last winter is central this morning north of Montana, where the barometric pressure is 28.88 inches. The storm which occupied the upper lake region Saturday has moved eastward to the St. Lawrence valley, at- tended by an area of rain which has swept the country from the British possessions to the Gulf of Mexico. Much cooler west to north winds have followed the passage of the storm over the lake region, and light frost occurred last night in eastern Wisconsin and extreme northeast Ilinots. During the next twenty-four hours the St. Lawrence valley storm will move slow- ly eastward, and the barometer will rise with clearing weather and cooler north- west winds in the middle Atlantic and New England states. In the interior of western New York conditions will favor the oc- currence of light frost tonight. The se- vere storm in the northwest will probably move slowly southeastward over the Mis- souri valley, and will not affect the weather conditions of the eastern states for several jays. In this section Tuesday will be fair and cooler, and Wednesday promises to be fair with slowly rising temperature. Condition of the Water.

Kennedy's Prediction That the One Will Overthrow the Other. To the Editor of The Evening Star: Public Printer Benedict seems to regard it as his bounden duty to say ‘unpleasant things of his predecessor and of those whom his predecessor employed. In his speech before the civil service commission, he said: “I am not here to ask the inter- vention of the civil service law to protect me or to assist in the duties of my oilice. It is not true that the spoiismen of the land are now embarrassing my de ly a year ago T removed from thé govern- ment printing office the wreckage of that character, which had left 1,000 unnece y employes, who were there with no object eacept to share a half joaf with men ard women who needed, the. measnre of a full louf in regular empioyment, with full pay, in meeting the necessities of hu- man life.” Mr. Benedict is himself a produ st of the an office that it ocratic party was in power aud a repub- put out to make room ‘for him. It is f ungracious in him to berate stem, and, suggysts that the devil once quoted Scripture so carry his point. The 1:40 people who were d Mr. Benedict in a very brief space of time were, as a rule, competent, and will cer- tainly bear the test of comparison with the present force in that office. So far as the printers who were put out are concerned petency, not being a practical printer, as the law requires that he should be. It is true that most of them were appointed through political influence, but that fact does not make against their competency any more than the fact that he has alw: landed in comfortable places by the exer- cise of a political “pull” is against his com- petency. ‘The fact that he discharged 1,0) people in a few months’ time is eviden enougn that he Is all the “spoilsman” any- one is looking for. And as a further evi- dence of the fact that he is a spoilsman of the spoilsmen it is safe to say that 00 out of every 100 persons in the office today are there by virtue of political influence. Why cannot Mr. Benedict be honest and manly about the matter, and admit that he discharged the former employes because they were republicans to make room for democrats and mugwumps? That would sound better than his frequent attempts, by innuendo, to put a stigma upon them. ‘Mr. Palmer did give employment to sev- sary to do the work if all had worked full time. But those were terrible times. Such a thing as getting private employment was out of the questi With that large force no man lost more than two days a week, and generally, but one. There was a liv- ing in it for all, and who shall say that it was not a wise and humane policy for a public printer to pursue in such a time? Now a word in y of putting the office civil-service law. If ever there was a dis- tinctive spoilsmen’s move it is this one. They are in there as spoilsmen and they want to remain there as such. They have seen premonitions of a com'ng storm. They know that it will be a cyclone. They have heard of western farmers building cyclone cellars and cav occurred to them that the civil service law can be turned into a cyclone cellar in which they can hide from the wrath of the coming siorm and that no one will be able to find them. Hun- dreds of republican clerks who have been worked out of office by democratic officials regard to the printers’ under the can tell them the civil service law does not protect an official in office. I would s west to upward of 50) typographical men who are prepa to run to cover that the civil service commission can never cover up the fact that they were members of the Interstate Democratic Association. That was, and I believe ts, a “perniciously active’ and “offensively partisan” organi zation, and, under President Cleveland’ standards, should not be tolerated. It was organized for the purpose of moving Pub- lic Printer Palmer out of office, and that gentleman has said that it was the influ- ence that did move him. It is known that it has aided Public Printer Benedict in his work of discharging republicans hy mak- ing out lists of men of that party by states and handing them ta him. ‘The geptlemen who were members of that organization, but who ai ng to make a public escape from Marcy's principle of “fo the, victors belong the spoils,” ought not to, delude themselves. Going back on that organiza- tion, refusing to pay dues ‘and being ex- pelled therefor will not saye them. This one count in the indictment against the: will cut a pretty wide swatp in the of these new-born zealots of civil, reform. It is the very worst possible moye that could be made as far as C is concerned. In a short whi change is made, the spectacle will be w: nessed for the first time of printe into the office who are not membe union, and who will not becothe such. Wh: this comes to pass men will see that the power of the union has departed, and many will refuse to pay dues. The union will be- come demoralized, and the trust company will own our handsome temple on G street. I want to go on record with a prophecy that in putting the government printing office under civil service laws the demo- cratic printers who ir.vited it and the dem- ocratic President who consummated it will have sounded the death knell of Columbia Union. To secure legislation, or to prevent legis- lation, Columbia Union, affiliated with the Interngtional Typographical Union, and or- ganized labor generally. was more influen- tial than all the clerks in Washington. As a factor in organized labor the politicians and high government officials have had a wholesome regard for it. By putting the government printing office in the classified service President Cleveland will repeat the Delilah act and shear this labor Samson of its strength, and the union printers of Washington will be of no more importance than so many government clerks.

Judge Bradley had before him Saturda: afternoon the case of District Lumber In- spector Robt. T. Ballard against Johnson & Wimsatt, lumber dealers, in which the validity of the municipal ordinance of 1866 directing the inspection and measurement of lumber was at question. The inspector presented a bill of $7.10 to the firm for measuring and inspecting lumber consigned to them last fall. Not having requested the measurement or examination, the firm refused to pay the bill, whereupon Mr. Bal- lard sued them for it before a justice of the peace. He secured a judgment for the bill, whereupon the iirm noted an appeal to the Circuit Court. In this court a trial by a jury was waived, and the validity cf the law Was asserted by Messrs. Wm. F. Mattingly and Irving Williamson, repre- senting Mr. Ballard, Messrs. A. 8S. Worth- ington and Joseph Shillington contending, on behalf of the firm, that the Police Court had deciared the law invalid, and that that decision should be sustained because the enforcement of the law would prevent the sale of unsound lumber, which is fit for that It is repugnant to section 8 je 1 of the Constitution, regulating commerce between the states, and that the lumber is injured by the’ identification marks of the inspector. It was also con- tended that the enforcement of the ordi- nance would seriou cripple the local lumber business, which now far exceeds the proportions it had when the law was pass- ed. It was contended, too, that it was now unnecessary, as all local firms em- ployed their inspectors A number of witnesses were examined, and, after arguments, Judge Bradley re- served his decision.

MARK’S VESTRY Three Members Expelled From the De Facto Body BECAUSE THEY ACTED WHTH THE OTHERS ———— Latest Phase of the Controversy in the Parish. AWAITING THE CONVENTION Since the Rev. A. J. Graham, rector of St. Mark's, announced to his congregation Tuesday night, April 30, his decision that the vestry, which was declared elected Easter Monday night, was the legal vestry of St. Mark’s parish, peace has reigned in the parish so far as visible evidences go. The members of the so-called de jure ves- try and their friends announcec their pur- pose to leave the question of the legality of the election to the diocesean convention which is to meet in this city Wednesday, the main point for decision being the ques- tion of the right of attendants at a mis- sion to vote in a parish election. The ques- tion will be raised when the delegates elected by the two vestries claim seats in the convention. The de jure vestry has, however, continued to perform such func- tions as its members deemed essential in order to maintain their contention that they were legally elected. They have met on the nights fixed by the law of the church for meetings of the vestry, and have on such occasions notified the rector of their meeting, but, of course, have re- ceived no recognition from him. It was believed that the affairs of the parish would not be brought to the public attention again until the meeting of the diocesan conven- tion. A New Excitement. However, the vestry recognized by the rector decided to bring the matter to a point, and has created a new excitement in the parish Ly declarmg vacant the places on the vestry filled by Messrs. Marlow, Hillyer and Wood, three of the old vestry- men holding over, who have been acting with the de jure vestry and have declined to recognize the legality of the de facto vestry. The seal of the parish has con- tinued in the possession of Mr. Torbert, the former registrar, and who claims to be a member of the de jure vestry. Mr. Tor- bert has declined to surrender the seal or the parish books to the de facto vestry. Mr. Marlow, who has acted ever since Easter Monday with the de jure vestry, Is treasurer of the parish, and has in his pos- session all the funds. He has declined to recognize orders upon him as treasurer emanating from the vestry whose election he disputes, but there has been no inter- ruption in the business affairs of the church, as the regular charges have been approved by the de jure vestry, so that payments could be made by the treasurer without a seeming recognition of the other vestry. One of the first acts of the de facto vestry, after it was officially recog- nized by the decision of the rector, was to vote an increase of salary to the rector, but so far this increase has been inopera- tive, because the treasurer has not recog- nized the legality of the vestry that voted it. Resolutions of the Vestry. The de facto vestry met Friday night, and, as a result of their deliberations that night, Messrs. Hillyer, Wood and Marlow each received Saturday from Mr. Charles B. Fonda, who signed himself as registrat of St. Mark’s parish, copies of the follow- ing preamble and resolutions adopted Fri- day night: Whereas, Messrs. W. H. Marlow, L. A. Wood and W. R. Hillyer, members of this vestry, have, after due notification, faiied to attend any of its meetings since the meeting of April 18, 1895, and Whereas, it has come to the knowledge of this vestry that these gentlemen have attached themselves to, and have declared themselves members of a certain body of men, who style themselves the vestry of St. Mark’s parish, and whose pretensions are inimical to the best interests of the parish; now, therefore, be it Resolved, That the registrar be and is hereby directed to notify the said gentle- men, in writing, that there will be a special meeting of this vestry, held in St. Mark’s Parish. Church, on Saturday, the 25th day of May, A.D. 1895, at § o'clock p.m., at which time and place they are requested to be present, Resolved, That the failure of either said gentlemen to attend the said meeting, with such excuse as the rest of this vestry will allow, will be considered as a refusal to serve upon this vestry. Resolved, That a copy of these resolutions be transmitted to each of said gentlemen. Messrs. Marlow and Hillyer appeared at the church Saturday evening, but not to attend the meeting, as they were request- ed. They remained there only long enough to hand to Mr. Fonda their reply to the resolutions. The Reply of the Three. This reply, which was signed by Messrs. Wodd, Marlow and Hillyer, “‘vestrymen of St. Mark's parish,” said: “Personal regard” and courtesy to you must be taken as the sufficient excuse for our acknowledging receipt of your note of last night purporting to convey informa- tion of a certain preamble and resolution said to have been adopted the same day at some meeting of the vestry of St. Mark's parish. Is there not some mistake in re- gard to the essential facts stated in the communication? “It is true, as therein said, that we are members of the vestry of St. Mark's parish. In fact, we were elected and took the oath of such office more than a year ago, and have not since been voted out. We have at all times since been ready and willing to perform and have performed our duties under such election and qualifications, and the fact that we have done so is conclu- ve proof that we have not ‘refused to serve.’ “Let it then be distinctly understood that we do not ‘refuse to serve’ as vestrymen. In accordance with the law of the case and in all Kindness and respect we pro- test that it.does not lie in the power of yourself and your associates, nor in that of any vestry in the diocese, to make our failure to meet you, any more than our failure to accept the rector’s invitation to take tea with him, a refusal to serve as vestrymen. “We were present at the last cegular monthly meeting of the vestry, on the Sth instant, and at that meeting the adjourn- ment was taken to the next regular month- ly meeting, in June. And we have never been advised or notified since then that any ‘special or adjourned meeting’ of the vestry has been called by the rector, or (because of his refusal) by any two ves‘ry- men. If we had been ‘duly notified’ of any such meeting we most certainly would not have absented ourselves, and if for any cause any of us had in such case been absent we would thereby merely have made ourselves respectively liable to the penalty affixed by section xxv of the vestry act, where excuse for absence is not allowed hy the rest of the vestry. We deprecate eny such conciusion as that stated in your communication as one unwarranted by law and beg to subscribe ourselve: This reply, of course, assumed that the vestry with which the three vestrymen have been acting was the legal vestry. Their Places Declared Vacant. This morning each of the three vestry- men named received from Mr. Fonda no- tice that their places had been declared vacant. The notice was in the following words: “Pursuant to the notice of special meet- ing of the vestry of St. Mark's parish, to- gether with preambie and resolutions serv €d upon you on the 24th instant, I am di rected by the sald vestry to respectfully inform you that at a special neeting, of the vestry of St. Mark’s parish, held in the vestry room on the 25th instant, your seat in the said vestry was declared’ vacant. ———— +o +__ Mrs. Aubrey, the eldest daughter of Chief Justice Fuller, was Saturday, in Chicago, granted a divorce from her husband, J.

What looked for a time like a_ serious fire occurred at the residence of Mr. Ed- mund Burke, a clerk in the seed division of the Agricultural Department, 494 Maine avenue, last night about 10 o'clock. In try- ing to eject a tramp cat, which had walked in the second-story window from a wood- shed roof, a lace curtain was brushed into the gas jet, and immediately became @ sheet of flame. Mr. Burke in pulling it down and trying to extinguish the blaze was quite severely burned about the hands end face.
