SUBSCRIPTION---$5.00 PER -ANNUM “KITCHEN CABINET” TRIBULATIONS. The “County Chairman,” in the St. Paul Dispatch, recently had the following concerning a state posi- tion which is going a-begging: “Administration plums are not so many that they go a-begging, yet it is of note that the cabinet is still on the hunt for a caretaker for half a dozen horses located at the state agricultural school, with which the state and the federal government are jointly experimenting, in con- nection with a cure for glanders. “Harvey Grimmer was assigned to hand out the goodthing, and remem- bering a persistent applicant of some months’ standing sent for him. He responded promptly enough, but his sudden and angry exit was the result. Now he is an enemy of the adminis- tration for life. “In turn followed a half dozen more and they were “sore sure” when they heard what the job was. “Next Dick O’Connor was appealed to and he fell quickly, but his disgust was not a marker to that of John O’Connor who, after learning the nature of the job, insisted that the bunch at the capitol were trying to hand him one. “Tte position is still vacant and it will stay vacant as far as the cabinet is concerned. Frank A, Day says it has cost the administra- tion enough already and he doesnot want any more of it.” CAUSTIC COMMENT. A. G. Rutledge.] Japanese corporations are charged with grafting $12,000,000. What a wonderful little people they are for catching on to the civilized methods. Of course we cannot foresee or foretell what is to happen to the American negro, but whatever his fate, nobody will ever be able to say that he was deprived of an abund- ance of advice. The English have no call to be indignant because a Russian war- ship fired upon a British yessel in Pitkipas Bay. So long as the czar's gunners were aiming at her the English ship was in no real danger, unless the Russian gunners have improved immeasurably since the Russo-Jap war. A congressman has expressed a wish that there were some hod carriers and few lawyers among the nation’s lawmakers. Vet there is a somewhat general opinion that the present members of congress are chiefly instrumental in carrying the hod for the chairman of the finance committee—Aldrich of Rhode Island. “HUNGER STRIKE” . SEGURES RELEASE Authorities Feared Suffragettes Would Starve to Death, Eondon, July 21.—The offlefals of Holloway jall, where the suffragettes Bentenced since the recent riots are confined, are confronted by a serious situation after the release of Florence Cooke and Gladys Roberts, two of the suffragettes, to prevent them from starving themselves to death. The jallers fear deaths will result from the “hunger strike,” which Is stiil persisted in by a dozen of the remaining prisoners. Several have eaten nothing for sev- eral days and their physical condition has become elarming. The released sufiragettes, Miss Rob- erts and Miss Cooke, are being hailed by their comrades as martyrs. Both are in a dangerous condition, Mtss Roberts being so weak and hysterical that her recovery ts expected to take months. Misses Roberts and Cooke, when taken to Holloway jail, insisted upon being treated as political prisoners. When they were locked up as com- mon offenders they rebelled, smashed prison windows, broke thelr cell fur- niture, destroyed the prison clothing given them and assaulted the turn- keys. The jallers thereupon put the two suffregettes in solitary conflnement” and they retaliated by refusing to eat the prison food. Much Lumber Destroyed. Oshkosh, Wis., July 21.—A loss which will be about $100,000 was caused by a fire which destroyed the greater part of the lumber yards of the Foster-Lothman Lumber company in this city. It is estimated that about 1,225,000 feet of clear faetory lumber and about 1,000,000 feet of cut stock “was destroyed. BOND PROBLEM FOR-CONGRESS, [ Feared New Issue Will De- preciate Value of 0ld. TAX MAY BE ADJUSTED Belleved Change In Present Rates Is Only Solution of Question, Which Threatens to Impair Public Credit. Pasama Bonds to Draw Thres Per Cent Interest, While Greater Pro- portion of Outstanding lssues Draw but Two Per Cent. Washington, July 2 .—How to pro- tect from serious depreciation out- standing United States bonds is the intricate problem which confronts con- gress in connection with the authori- zation of a new issue. It is thought that the solution can only be effected through some equitable adjustment of the tax on circulation. According to present plans the secrotary of the treasury will be authorized to issue from time to time additional Panama canal bonds up to $290,669,020, bear- ing not to exceed 3 per cent interest. The government's interest bearing debt aggregates approximately $913,- 000,000, of which nearly $731,000,000 is In 2 per cent bonds. Of this total the national banks of the country have on deposit in the treasury as security for circulation about $630,- 000,000. Four-fifths of the entire na- tlonal debt, therefore, is in these two classes of 2 per cent bonds. Under existing laws national bank notes, when secured by 2 per cent bonds, are subject to a tax of one- balf of 1 per cent per annum, while airculation based on bonds bearing a higher rate of interest pays a tax of 1 per cent. Bonds Depraclating In Price. It has been estimated that at the present market price of both 2 per cent consols and Panamas there al- ready has been, on the whole amount ou‘standing, a depreciation from the price at which the government sold them to the public of about $18,000,- 000 and it s belteved in some quar- ters that to fssue any comsiderable portions of the threes which it is pro- posed to authorize, with circulation privileges not materially inferior to those accorded the twos, would prob- ably result in the further depreciation of the latter, which might even reach & point below par, thus impairing the public credit. There are $64,000,000 in 3 per cent bonds and $118,000,000 in fours now outstanding. The latter, being mostly held for investment and little used as a basis for circulation, need not be the subject of any special concern. The question before congress fs bow not to discredit the 2 and 3 per cent bonds now up for circulation and at the same time make the proposed issue of 3 per cents attractive to in- vestors, IS PERMITTED TO GO FRE Nonunion Engineer Who Killed Two Strikers, Cleveland, July 2)—James G. Pur- vis of Detroit, Mich., the nonunion marine engincer who killed two strik- ers, injured one other and barely es- caped with his life at the hands of strike sympathizers who attempted to lynch him Saturday night, was dis- charged by both the police and the county coroner. The officials found that Purvis acted {n self-defense. Until the investigation was com- pleted Purvis was held on a charge of murder.

WILL CONTINUE CONCERTS House Takes No Actlon Concerning Washington’s Homeless Cats. ‘Washington, July 2 .—“What shall be done with the homeless and sur- plus cats in the District of Columbia?"” That was the proposition which for a time agitated the minds of the legis- lators of the house of representatives during the consideration of the urgent deficlency appropriation bill, - There are many thousands of the cats and the proposition was to pay the poundmaster to gather them into his fold. ‘The conclusion was reached that nothing could be done just now, so the felines will be permitted to roam ;at wilizand continue their anidnight ‘congerts undisturbed.

PAYNE AT OUTS WITH - HOUSE CONFEREES Refuses to Permit Any Propo- sition fo Go fo a Voa. Washington, July 211t 1s learned on excellent authority that Represen- tative Payne, chalrman of the house conference committee on the tariff bil], had refused to permit any prapo- sition to go to a vote and that he had taken the position that he would not sign any report simply because a ma- Jority of the house Republican con- ferees had voted for it. This stand means, apparently, that a majority of the house members of the conference are antagonistic to Mr. Payne on at least some of the propo- sitions before the conference and that he Intends to direct the action of the house conferees in favor of the prest- dent’s programme.

GIVEN APPROVAL OF CONFEREES New Drait of Corporation Tax Amendment, —_— RATE CUT T0 ONE PER CENT Attorney - General ' Wickersham Ex- plains Its Provisions at Great Length and It 1s Accepted Without Delay—Takes the Place of the House Inheritance Tax Provision in the Original Tariff Bifl. ‘Washington, July 20.—The confer- ence committee of the two houses of congress on the tariff bill has agreed to accept the senate's corpora~ tlon tax amendment, but the agree- ment was not reached until after the provision had been redrafted by the attorney general and many changes had been made. The most important of the changes was the reduction of the tax from 3 per cent on the net earnings of cor- porations to 1 per cent. Attorney General Wickersham appeared® before the committee and explained all the new provislons at length, apparently to the satisfaction of all the confer- @es, who lost little time In signifying their acceptance of the provision after bearing his statement concerning it. It appeared that much difficulty had been found in the matter of the ex- emption of the earnings of such cor- porations as all felt should be ex- empted, but there was a general feel- ing that the new draft had accom- plished as much as language could accomplieh in that direction. The corporation tax amendment will take the place of the house pro- vision for an inheritance tax, which, according to the agreement, will go out of the bill, Rvery precaution was taken to avold double taxation by the amend- ment. The modification adopted in the senate at the instance of Senator Clapp, specifically including holding companies as among those to be taxed, was disregarded in redrafting the pro- vision. BY THURSDAY OR FRIDAY Conferees Will Gomplets Considera- tion of Tariff BIN.

Both the senate and house members of the conference are hope- ful as to the outlook and all are work- ing harmoniously.” efore leaving Mr. Cullom left in- structlons to cast his vote in favor ot free hides, for the semate duty on gloves and hosiery, for free coal or for a reciprocity arrangement and for the senate provision for a countervall- ing duty on petroleum. “It we can’t get free coal,” he said, “I am willing to have reciprocity coal, ‘which would give us & proper arrange- ment with Canada. I should like to have a duty on crude ofl, as my state is very much interested in the ol in- dustry.” AERONAUT DROPS INTO SEA Attempt to Cross the English Chan- nel Ends In Fallure.
