JOhTOS, Mar 25. The32d annual con
ltion of the United States Brewers' Asso
tlon met this morning. The Board of
istees reported, as to the exhibit at the
orld's Fair, that the association has
pped as impracticable the project of a
mrate building, and have applied to the
rector General for space in any building
which such an exhibit belongs. It is rec
mended to present as graphically as
ssible
Irst The development of the American
swing Industry, compared with the trade
other countries; second, the status of
swing by States, together with Imports
d exports; third, the extent to which
nerican agriculture is benoflted by brew
c; fourth, the development and present
tus of malting; fifth, the industries which
pend more or less on brewing; sixth, the
or emplojed in the brewing and malting
lustnes and in the dependent trades;
fenth, the revenue question; eighth, the
J wins and the beer traffic in its relation to
1 estate; ninth, the effect of the growing
J of beer upon the consumption of other
veragos: tenth, the effect of the increas
: consumption of beer upon the health
'i morals of communities; eleventh, the
ults of laws restricting or prohibiting
use of mild fermented drinks; twelfth,
a rank of brewing as a wealth producing
urce generally.
It is further proposed to hold an Interna
wal Brewers' Congress at Chicago in con-
etionwith the 33d annual convention,
lich might become the starting point of
International League of Brewers. The
port also treats of the efforts to have the
ties on hops, malt and barley reduced.
ie latter proposition gave rfco "to a sort of
ctional conflict between the Western and
i -.torn growers and malstcrs, the tormer
ipoing the i eduction, while the admitted
abilitj of the Eastern mulster to compote
,th his Western colleague really means
leapor malt of the ordinary grades. It is
well-known fact that many Eastern brew
s regard Canada barley as" superior to any
oduced here, and to them the exorbitant
ihancrment of the price of the Canadian
oduct appears to be unwarranted.

KNOCK OUT COLLECTOR GBIEE,
Who Hakes a Statement Defending Ills
System and Showing
HOW MONET IS SATiD TO TUB CITY
A special meeting of the Allegheny
Finance Committee was held last night to
consider what action should be taken in
regard to the mandamus proceedings insti
tuted against City Treasurer Macferron to
compel him to accept the delinquent taxes
under the old system.
The committee decided that the present
system was satisfactory, and appointed a
sub-committee to defend in the courts the
present system and to protest against the
mandamus proceedings.
Delinquent Tax Collector Samuel Grier
made an explanatory statement to the com
mittee. He said:
I am glad that this movement against the
delinquent tax office has occurred. It gives
me an opportunity to show to the citizens
and taxpayers how the collection of delin
quent taxes was carried on under tho act of
1860 The delinquent taxes were placed In
the hands of one collector from each ward,
and after he had collected all he could
without process of law, he turned the
balanced uncollected over to the Controller,
and the Controller placed the taxes against
real estate In the hands of the City Solicitor,
whose duty it was to enter, them as a lion
against the property so as to secure the city
against loss.
Ijosi Under the Old System.
The amount in the hands of the city solici
tors during the past ten years to bo entered
as liens is $32, H2 16; or this amount $11,175 Hi
was collected and paid to the City Treasurer;
$575 01 was duplicates, and there are about
$600 entered as Hens and not paid, leaving a
loo to the city of $19.19.2 03.
Thero still remains five or six books of
ward collectors that have not been settled.
This will Increase the loss of taxes consider
ably more than tho above amount. Under
tho'prosentlaw I am allowed but two years
to settle each book or the taxes are lost to
the city and my bondsmen aieresponniblo.
These figures were taken from the Dooks of
the City Treasurer, and the above amount
was lost under the act of 18S0.
Since the city has been collecting under
the acts of 1877 and 1878, she has not lost $1
of delinquent taxes. Now let the citizens
and taxpayers Judge whether theaot of 1860,
under which tho city has lost thousands of
dollars, and under whioh James S. Rutan
wants the delinquent taxes collected, or
the acts of 1S77 and 1878 are the best for the
city's interest.
After I was elected Delinquent Tax Col
lector thousands of dollars of the delinquent
taxes that were placed In the hands of the
ex-City Solicitor, and that he did not collect,
were turned over to me for collection. I
succeeded In collecting $2,307 76 These taxes
could not be collected by process of law, as
they were outlawed on account of not being
entered up. If I had not collected them they
would have been lost to the city.
A Report for Four Years.
Tho following is a statement of tho
amount of delinquent taxes collected since
I have been Delinquent 'Tax Collector, the
years beginning in the month of October:
1887, $70,293 25; 1888, $97,127 03: 1889, $S2,152 71;
1890, $110,690 17: a total of $360,263 (6; expense
of running the office, $3,250 per year; amount
of salary received irom the olty per year,
$1,500: leaving me about $3,000 per year clear
salary instead of $11,000 to $25,000, as James
8. Rutan claims.
Mr. Gerwig asked Mr. Grier
meant by money lost to the city,
plied such debts as are outlawed.
Mr. Kesbit offered a resolution.

Resolved, That the present system of col

It was passed and the chairman, Mr.

Millord, in conjunction with the City Solic
itor, to defend the attack contemplated in
the mandamus proceedings and to assist the
City Treasurer.

Conflicting Reports From Venezuela Pres
ident Talacio Says the Government Has
the Advantage Over the Revolutionists
Passengers on the Last Steamer Report
to Jhe Contrary.
New York, May 25. SpecidW The
Bed "D" steamship Caracas, which arrived
today from Venezuelabrought conflicting re
ports of the way the revolution was pro
gressing in that country. Jose Alfonse
Ortega, the present Venezuelan Consul
General at New York, received a
letter from Andueza Palacio, the
President of the Republic, by the
Caracas. This was dated May 19, the day
the steamship left La Guayra. President
Palacio said the Government had the ad
vantage of the revolutionists, and was gain
ing ground everv day. The center of the
Republic was quite peaceful in consequence,
he said. Only a small number of revolu
tionists remained, and these would soon be
dispersed. The strength of the revolution
ists was on the "Western boundaries and
along the Guiana frontier.
The letter also said that the Government
was reorganized under the new Constitu
tion, and the various districts would soon
be called upon to elect representatives to
the new Congress.
By the same steamer Consul General Or
tega received letters patent appointing him
Consul General at London. Pimental Cor
onel, who is to succeed Ortega here, and
was expected In the Caracas, did not come.
He cannot arrive now until June 5, when
the Venezuela is due. Consul Ortega will
remain at his post until Coronel's arrival.
Some of the passengers on the Caracas did
not bring such pacific reports as those sent
by President Palacio. There were several
merchants on board who had left Caracas
and La Guayra became, as they said, it was
impossible to transact business on account
of the interference of the Government and
the revolutionary troubles. It was reported
that the Government man-of-war General
Rivas had been captured in the Orinoco by
the revolutionists, who thus practically
obtained control of the river. The city of
Caracas had been left defenseless, as the
large body of Government troops had
started forward to Bolivar to capture
Crespo, the leader of the revolutionists. In
the meantime, the report was circulated
that General Guerra, with a large number
of Crespo's men, was marching upon Car
acas, and when the steamship left La Guayra
the inhabitants were expecting an attack
almost hourly. There was much alarm at
La Guayra, also, and the Minister of War
had started from Caracas to improve the
defenses ot the seaport.

Hon. M. D. Harter, the present Repre--sentative

Foraker man, and Mr. Harter has great
