Chicago, March 10.—About 200angry
Toles, men and women, stoned St.
Hod wig's Catholic church to-day, ami
five policemen on guard were cowed,
but on arrival of reinforcements the
rioters were driven off. There hud
been trouble in St. lied wig's parish for |
many weeks. Father Harzinski was
driven away three weeksago, and the
police were called on to protect the
church property. Archbishop Feehan
aent Father Sgidlaezyk to the church,
but when it was discovered that he
•was n resurrectionist he also was re-
jected. The church was closed and
locked for two weeks, and last night
the parishioners determined to oppose a
reopening of the edillce.
Early to-day the Poles began pour-
ing into the church hall and when
ut 200 had arrived the march to the
church, three blocks away, was taken
up. Four abreast the excited body of
men and women marched, denouncing
the priest and declaring that they
■would prevent him from serving mass.
A constable telephoned for the po-
lice and in a few minutes four patrol
wagons, loaded with officers, were
driven up to the church. Orders were
Uien flfiven to the police to draw their
revolversnnd use them If necessary to
clear tho church. The angry crowd
Stood for a moment when forty po-
licemen inarched into the church, ("apt.
Relun ordered the intruders to leave
the church, and some of the Polish offi-
cers informed the mob in their native
language that the police had orders to
•hoot. A moment later the crowd
Vroke and fled from the church. The
police arrested Josle Lowandowski and
l er son Anton, who seemed to be ring-
leaders, and search is being made for
the woman's husband. After the
church was cleared the priest celebrat-
ed mass under guard of a detail of po-
lice.

A Mill INDUSTRY C Ml* PLED.
The New MlsHourl law Prevents Using
Oleomargarine Coloring of Any Kind.
Kansas City, Mo,, March lfl.—The
operations of the law passed by the
Missouri legislature yesterday restrict-
ing the manufacture and sale within
the state of oleomargarine are likely
to be so far-reaching that they will
seriously cripple the oleomargarine
industry in this city, which in recent
years has grown to such propor-
tions that about one-fourth of the
entire oleomargarine product itt the
United States is manufactured here.
The law was framed and passed for the
benefit of tho dairy interests of the
state and it has been .««> peculiarly
worded that packers say that it will
■virtually destroy tho market for oleo-
margarine in the state.

tiie wording of a clause.
The Klder Tacked 011 the Sunday Civil
Hill Construed that Our Delegate*
Are l'ledged to Free Coinage
of Sliver.
Washington, .March 16.— Politicians
here who have carefully considered the
possible benefits to be derived from the
proposed monetary conference, a call
for which, it is expected, will soon be
issued by Germany, are beginning to
arrive at the conclusion that no con-
ference will be held. Tho more the
subject is discussed the more general
becomes tho opinion that congress
kicked over the bucket before it was
tilled.
When Germany announced her inten-
tion of taking an active interest in the
rehabilitation of silver and proposed to
lead in a movement looking* to the
holding of a conference, tho free silver
men in the senate hooked on a rider to
the sundry civil bill providing for the
appointment of nine delegates to at-
tend such conference when formally
called. Not satisfied with this, six
words were incorporated into the pro-
vision, which, it is generally believed,
will be fatal to an international discus-
sion on the monetary question. The
exact wording of the clause in the sun-
dry civil bill is: "That whenever the
president of the United States shall
determine that the United States
should be represented at any interna-
tional conference called with a view to
secure internationally a fixity of rela-
tive value between gold and silver as
money by means of a common ratio
between those metals with free mint-
ago at such ratio the United States
shall be represented at such conference
by nine delegates.
To the casual reader the wording
seems unexceptionable, but a minute
inspection of the phrase "with free
mintage at such ratio" is construed to
mean that not only would the delegates
from tho United States but the confer-
ence as a body be pledged to the abso-
lute free coinage of silver. In fact, the
United States, it is declared, thus dic-
tates in advance the exact basis upon
which the conference shall reach an
agreement. There is nothing left open
for discussion or consideration except
the mere fixing of a ratio of relative
value.
Whenever attention is called to this
overlooked phrase, the opinion is
promptly expressed that Germany will
hesitate before calling* a monetary
conference pledged in advance by con-
gress to pursue but one line of policy.

Charleston, S. C . March 14.— Judge
Simonton. in the United States circuit
court, delivered a decision in the ha-
beas corpus proceedings brought by J.
E. V. Jervrey, master of the schooner
Carolina, and others of the crew, ar-
rested for transporting whisky from
Savannah to Charleston in violation
of the dispensary law. The petition-
ers alleged that they were held in
custody in violation of the United
States constitution. The court finds
that the arrests were in violation of
the constitution and interstate com-
merce act, and in ordering that the
prisoners be discharged from custody
says: "The clause of the dispensary
act, so far as it has been made to apply
to the petitioners, is absolutely void."

KECKIPTS AND EXPENSES.

Over Receipts.
Washington, March 14.—The treas-
ury condition for the first third of
March shows the receipts to have ag-
gregated SO,325,000, and the expendi-
tures $11,354,000, an excess of the ex-
penditures over the receipts of $i,029,-
000. An element of uncertainty not
heretofore entering into treasury cal-
culations now has to be considered.
It is the large sums of money ap-
propriated by congress in the de-
ficiency bill and sundry civil appro-
priation bill. Many of these items are
made immediately available, and the
payment yesterday of $(115,000 on the
"civil and miscellaneous" accounts
shows that some of them have begun
to reach the cashier's desk. The cus-
toms receipts show a continued and
sustained improvement, being for the
fiscal v?ar up to date $105,M?7.0<)0, or
nearly SI,003,000 more than for the
same time last year. Internal revenue
receipts are $.">.000,000 in excess of this
time last year, but improvement in
both sources must be shown for the
last third of the fiscal year, or govern-
ment revenues for the entire fiscal
year will fall considerably below the
estimates.
