Payment of a Tribute.
All of the work of the reunion had been
- ... ?... , , S .j
mini and me nun anil iasi uaj >\.i? unvoted
wholly to the payment of a tribute
to the memory of Jefferson Davis. The
streets were brilliantly decorated. There
was scarcely a house or business building
in the city that was not profusely draped
with confederate colors and bunting, and
mi account of the injury of much of the
decorating by severe rains, additional bunting
was put up by the city today. This
was especially true of Franklin street and
Monument avenue, the line of march for
tiie procession to the Davis monument.
The Grand Parade.
The grand parade to the unveiling started
at U:"t? o'clock. The military feature was
similar to the parade on the first day of the
i reunion when tlie statue of Maj. Gen. J. K.
H. Stuart was unveiled, but there were far
I more veterans in gray in tlie line. They
! appeared to have been saving their strength
! fi?r this event, and although the walking
I was bad, none who could walk at all shirk|
ed the duty. Veterans of every section of

I Arrangements had been made to conserve'

confederate veterans were formed in open
rank wit'uiror.e mile of the statue, and the
! modern military organizations marched
i through in review, to be followed by the
j veterans, the carriage contingent and auxj
iiiary orders. This entailed no long march
for the veterans and avoided a'.i counterI
marching in the parade formation. The
j grand procession was under command of
(Jen. Stith Boiling of Petersburg, Va., as

Along the line of march a dense crowd

waved in boating time to stirring confederate
airs. In the groat concourse of veterans'
organizations, which proceeded in ;

of bands and life and drum corps. Followi

the carriage division, carrying many of the

FIRE ON OCEANIC.
Burned for Two Hours and Did Some
Damage.
XKVV YORK. June ?The fire on the
. White Star line steamer Oceanic, which
was discovered in the steerage shortly after
1 o'clock tlii3 morning, was not brought
under control for two hours. The fire
started among the steerage berths. The
crew was called to quarters and did wliat
it could to extinguish the (lames, but when
they spread to the cargo outside aid had
to be called. In the after hold were 187
barrels of glucose, which burned like oil,
and that pint of the cargo was soon untirely
aflame. The crew closed the after
compartment and then the firemen dro^ned
out the flames.
All the bedding and other perishable fit
tings of the steerage were destroyed, in
i addition to a quantity of freight. Among
I the cargo was some theatrical scenery belonging
to Forbes Robertson, who recently
left for Kngland after-a successful season
in America, and this is said to have been
burned or damaged.
Th?> origin of the lire is unknown, but the
suspicion was prevalent on the dock early
today that it was the result of incendiarism.

It was stated that the sailing of

She is one of the newer fleet, having been
built in 18SK>. She is a steel, twin-screw
vessel of 17,'J74 tons displacement and a
net tonnage of (5,917 tons. ?
The White Star line officials announce |
that the tire on the Oceanic was confined
exclusively to the hold of the vessel, the
hull sustaining no damage whatever, and
that she will sail at 2 p.m. Wednesday, as
scheduled.
KUROKI HOMEWARD BOUND.
Distributed Over $400 in Gold in Gratuities
Before Leaving Chicago.
CHICAGO, June 3.?Gen. Baron Kuroki
distributed between $400 and $.">(*? in gratuities
at the Auditorium Annex before his
departure last night for the west. He had
been at the hotel a week with his staff.
This money that the general distributed
came from the Japanese treasury, ile is a
poor man, comparatively, and the emperor
pays all his expenses, figuring that it will
all come back to Japan in increased friendly
relations between the two countries.
Baron Kuroki also remembered Lieut.
Morgan A. Collins of the central detail station,
who had been his bodyguard while
he has been in Chicago. Just before his
train left the general presented to the lieutenant
a silver cigar case. Through an
interpreter he thanked Collins for his close
attention to the comfort of the party.
A message of thanks from Kuroki to
Mayor Russe. Chief Shippy and other city
offlfials was given to the lieutenant to deliver.

NEW AGREEMENT CRITICISED
ALLEGED USURPATION BY THE
EXECUTIVE BRANCH.
rnrirocsinn 4-r\ norm qtitt WVi i /*V> Tf Tc
w WU V VU I.U MV^i JtiUll J V V U'VUf AW
Asserted, Virtually Nullifies
the Tariff Law.
Another case of alleged usurpation by
tlie executive branch of the government is
being discussed in connection with the new
tariff agreement with Germany. The subject
was first brought to the public attention
by violent protests from business interests,
but now another feature of the
case is under consideration.
liroadly stated, the proposition is that
the Secretary of State and the Secretary
or me '.Treasury ran make an arrangement
and frame a regulation which virtually
nullifies in the ease of one country
the tariff which Congress has enacted.
The practical effect is said to be that the
executive branch perforins a function
which, under the Constitution, only Congress
is authorized to perform.
Opportunities for Undervaluation.
The business interests complain because
it is alleged* that under this pretext certain
classes of German goods will be undervalued
and?brought into the country in
competition with American wares, which
are supposed to be protected by the tariff.
Undervaluation is a favorite weapon of
assault against the tariff wall by the foreign
orodueer. This government main- ?
tains a corps of men abroad and a board
of appraisers in New York to prevent undervaluation.
The agreement v.ith Germany provides
In the first section that German wares,
sold only for export, or sold only in the
home market in such limited quantities as
not to establish a market price, shall be
valued at the "export price." That is, j
that the manufacturer turning out a spe- !
ekil brand, size, shaj e or v. hat not, differ- !
ent from tlie articie rnaue for the home i
market, can fix his own price upon it, and 1
that price the American tariff appraisers j
shall accept when levying t' e tariff duty. i
Thus, though the general tariff may apply j
to the article in question, that article w:l j
have been valued lower than articles of th<! '
same class imported from other countries, j
and the amount of tariff duty is corre- |
spondingly less.
Secretary Shaw, w'.ien he was at the head
of the Treasury Department, refused to I
agree to this. plan, lie held that it would
result in undervaluation, and he doubted
the constitutionality of a treasury regulation
which would nullify a law of Congress.
Kay Be Tested in the Courts.
It is said mat me new arrangement will |
certainly be tested in the courts of Ameri- !
can manufacturers, and there is likelihood j
of the action of the Secretary of State and J
Secretary of the Treasury being questioned j
and criticised in Congress. The latter fea- ;
ture of the case will doubtless attract much i
attention.
From the utilitarian viewpoint, the new
arrangement is expected to be compensatory.
A tariff war with Germany has been
avoided, but in doing so, it is claimed, the
executive departments have had to strain
their authority. The main principle, however,
of alleged invasion of the domain of
the legislative by the executive branch will
yet have to be looked into, It is said.
State Department Interpretation.
The State Department is mailing today
to I'nited States consuls in all parts of the
world copies of the new customs regulations
which were Issued Saturday in accordance
with the terms of the recent tariff
arrangement with Germany. The interpretation
of tire State Department is that
these regulations, so far as they apply to
uniieu ESlillCS IIUI la, aic umvcioai ill men
application. As these regulations are all
in the line of relaxation, to a more or less
extent, from the rigid regulations which
have heretofore prevailed, their announcement
is looked upon as practically a change
of policy on the part of this government toTiaifl
hnth American iinDorters and foreiirn
&x porters.
The more liberal treatment to be accorded
in passing United States customs officials.
It Is believed, will do much toward commercially
re-establishing the United States
in the favorable regard of foreign nations.
Although the new regulations are regarded
as more liberal, in that they abolish
some of the methods which have been regarded
as harsh in the administering of the
customs laws, the department holds that in
no sense are they to be regarded as a relava

KING EDWARD S LEVEE.
Third cf Season Attended by Veteran
Army Officers.
IjOXDOX, June 3.?The third levee of the
season was held by King Edward at St.
James' palace this afternoon, and was more
than usually interesting because of the
presence of a large contingent of officers
who served during the mutiny in India,
half a century ago, and whose exploits constitute
the most eventful chapters of the
great siege of Delhi and defense and relief
of Lucknow. Some fifty veteran officers,
headed by Field Marshal T.ord Rnh.
erts, about a dozen of whom wore the
coveted Victoria Cross, formed the most
interesting group at the function, with
them being a handful of civilians whose
gallant deeds in 1857 led to the first bestowal
of the Victoria Cross on non-military
men.
The king drove to St. .Tames' palace from
Buckingham palace in state, escorted by. a
detachment of life guards. The throne
room formed a brilliant scene, being filled
with members of the royal family, diplomats,
the great officers of chance and military
and naval men. all in full uniform
and wearing their orders and other decorations,
and a host of peers, cabinet ministers

FORT MONROE. Va., June 3.?Fire believed
to have been started by thieves to
conceal a robbery at an early hour today
completely destroyed the freight and passenger
hou; and general offices on the
government pier here. Until the agents of
the various lines operating from the wharf
are able to complete Inventories and check
up their losses it will be impossible to
ascertain the total loss, which probably
will run well up into the thousands.
The blaze originated in the offices of the
United States Express Company, and when
the safe was unearthed from the ruins It
was found with the door open, empty. The
