We live here on the best terms with the English colony and wish to remain so. Mr. Kruger will meet with such an official reception as is always given to the chief of a state when traveling ircognito.” M.

The Boer delegates ftullly appreciate the disadvantages accruing to their cause from the fact that the French welcome to Mr. Kruger is mainly engincered by the anii- ministerlal party, thus detracting im- mensely from its political importance. Measrs. Fischer and Wessels, who were interviewed by the correspondent of the Assoclated Press this afternoon, expresseed regret at the partisan character which the demonstration Is assuming. They com- pared It with their welcome in the Unitsd States by the democrats, which, they de- clared, had prejudiced the republicans against them. Both insisted, however, that the results of the American elections have in no way modified their hope that the United States would yet support the Boer causs. “The United States,” sald Mr. Fischer, “remains a force in the councils of civi- lzed pations and we trust this force will eventually be used in bringing the war to such an end as will protect our rights.

REDUCTION OF $30,000,000 IS POSSIBLE retary Gage of Treasury Depart- ment and Commissioner Wilson of the Internnl Revenue Hureau Cal Into Conwsultation. WASHINGTON, Nov. 20.—The republican members of the ways and means committes met today to consider a measure for tho reducticn of the war revenue tax. Th most {mportant action taken was a de- cision not to remove the tax of 10 cents a pound on tea. The committee Wil not take up or disturb the tariff on imports, as the members clalm it would open up the whole subject of tariff revision. The committee will not grant any hear- ings while framing the bill, as full hear- ings were given during the last session of congress and since then briefs and state- ments of various Interests have been re- celved. Parties who are interested, how- ever, can file briefs or statements with the committe Secretary Gage and Commisioner Wilson of the internal revenue bureau were be- fore the commitee for somo time this aft- ernoon. The secretary told the committee that in his opinion there might be a re- duction in revenues of $30,000,000. The War revenue act now ralses about $100,000,- 000. Commissioner. Wilson went over the schedules with the members of the com- mittee audgboth he and Secretary Gage were questioned as to where the reduc- tions could be made to the best advantage from the treasury view point. Schedules Under Considerations A considerable part of the discussion was confined to schedule B, which taxes medici- nal and proprietary articles and prepars tlons, perfumery, cosmetics, chewing gum, wines, etc. There was also discussion of stamp taxes. The discussion indlcated that the committoe favored quite a change in this feature of the law and reductions whorever possible. The committeo also da- sires to eliminate the taxes on convey- ances, of which there has been a great deal of complaint. It can be stated that in a general way it will be the aim of the committee to abolish the most burdensome taxes and to grant rellet from stamp taxes as far as possible. The committee late in the day called on the president to obtain his views on the proposed reduction. The committee wlil meet again tomorrow. After there has been a general inter- change of opinion on the proposed reduc- tion, It is quite likely that a sub-com- mittee will be appointed to draft a meas- ure. It 18 not believed the bill can be pre- pared and ready for the full committee until the session begins. The mensure after it is agreed upon by the republicans will be submitted to the democrats of the committee. Suggestion has been made that the oleo- margarine bill, now in the house calendar and made a special order for December 6, might be made a part of the war revenue reduction. Representative Tawney, the father of the oleomargarine bill, when asked about thls sald that the oleomargarine bill would be passed by the house eanly in the session, 8o that an opportunity would be glven to ascertaln It there was a disposi- tion to defeat the measure in the senate by any unusual delay. In such case he in- timated that the oleomargarine bill might be made a part of the revenue reduction bill in the senate. The committe’s conference with (he pres- tdent lasted less than an Lour. The com- miiteo and the president agreed on the desirabllity of the reduction or abolition of the war taxes where they have proved aunoylng and irritating to the luterosts tnvolved and yet have not produced very wuch revenue. The president belleves the surplus in the treasury s accumulating too rapldly and that conservative reduc- tlons may be made safely or the taxes en- tirely removed in some instances. The republican members belleve they will be able to agree in & very fow days on the general line of changes to be made.

MORE MEMBERS FOR HOUSE Chalrman Hopkine of Reapportion ment Committee Says Probn- ble Ratlo is 108,000 WASHINGTON, Nov Representative Hopkins of Illinols, chairman of the house committee on census, which committee will have chargo of the legislation affecting the apportionment of the house, today expressed the opinfon thet there would be no decided effort during tho next session of congress to decrease the congressional representation of the southern states because of tho disfran chisement of negroes. He sald that In all probability the subject would be discussed but he theught that upon the whole the commitieo would favor the plan of basing representation upon the number of Inhabi- tants. Discussing the general subject of reappor- tionment Mr. Hopkins said “The committeo on census wiil meet dur- ing the first week of the session to frame & bill providing for reapportionment. I thin* that a proposition will be adopted which will increase the membership of tho house. It has becn syggested that we au- thorize one member for every 198,000 {nhab- itants at seems to be the ratio that Is in general favor among members of the committee, This proposition would entail an increased membership of from fifteen to twenty membors “According to calculations I have made, this reapportionment would add members to the house from New York, Illinols and per- haps other states. Statcs like Nebraska and Maine might lose members by the proposed law. Some of the southern states might also suffer from the proportion agreed upon, al- though to what extent cannot now be ascer- talned CENSUS FOR THREE STATES oln WASHINGTON, Nov. ot the state of Rhode 1 officially today by the 428,566, as egainst 545,306 in 1890 an Increase of 83,000, or 24 per cent The papulation of the state of Iilinois is 560, as against 3,826,851 In 1800, These figures show an increase of 995,199, or 2 per cent, As oficially announced by the census bu- reau today, the population of the state of Florida 1s 028,542, as against 981,422 in 1890.

Hoyt, the well known playright, died at his residence here at 7:15 o'clock to- | night of paresis, from which he had been suffering for months past. Iver since his return to Charletown, after his release frcm a private asylum at Hartford by or- der of the court early in August, it has been known by his attendants and nearest friends that his condition was serious and that there was litle or no chance for his recovery, but Mr. Hoyt apparently seemed hopeful of ultimate recovery. Provious to two weeks ago there ap- peared to be a slight improvement in his condition, although he had periods of de- pression, Two weeks ago his appetite failed and he had a bad turn, from which he only partially recovered. Since that time he Nad been unable to take any ex- cept liquid nourishment, but continued to be up and around his room until yesterday. He steadily lost strength and this morning he suffered a rclapse and became uncon- |sclous, in which condition he remained until death came this evening. Mr. Hoyt had no relatives here and during his sick- pess had been attended by Drs. Brooks of Charlestown and Billings ot Concord, two trained nurses and Dr. Davis, who had served as his valet for the last seven or eight years. These, together with Hon. James 0, “Lyford, his legal guardian, were in attendance at the time of his death. The funeral arrangements will not be until tomorrow, but it s probable that the tuneral will be held on Saturday.

The opposition to the new measure on the part of the raflroads is due to the fact that they realize that the inter- state commerce [aw, in Its present form 18 impotent—the findings of the commission cannot be pat in force.

A sixty year old woman writes: “My over- indulgent papa used to say, at the table, ‘Why not let the child have what she likes; it won't hurt her any.’ He referred partic- ularly to my drinking coffee, which I was very fond of as a child. He honestly thought it didn't hurt me, for with his strong body, apparently without merve he was not comsciously affected by coffes, but the effect on me—a bundle of nerves was to develop restlessness and stunt my growth. “The first effect after drinking coffee was that of delighttul exhiliaration and I felt courage and strength to attack almost any amount of active work, but in a few hours the reaction came, with misery in my chest palpitation of the heart and most unbear- able pains in my stomach, “Finally my attention was called to Pos- tum Cereal Food Coffee and we secured some of it.

BROWN IS OVER CANADA LINE Who Knoww Respons erce commission th 1o law known, The con- were atter to appoint a stato to help Man Defaulter ble for the Sta Well CINCINNATI, Nov. 20.—According to a dispatch from Fort Wayne, Ind., Frank M. Prown, late assistant cashier of the German National bank of Newport, Ky., who, It is alleged, embezzled nearly $200,000 of the bank’s funds, is now in Cabada. He was seen and recognized fn Fort Wayne yester- day by Fred J. Stone, an intimate acquaint- ance, aud the latter last night sald that at 9:30 o'clock Brown was in the Dominion of Canada. He had been in St. Louls, as already stated, where he was reported to be on his way to South America, but he changed his direction and came through 1llinois and Indiana and thence to Canada. The reorganization plan which the stock- holders are to consider at a meeting to be held Weduesday afternoon appears likely to be adopted. The stockholders are liable to a $100 assessment on each share of stock, which would be a total loss it pald and the bank's affalrs wound up. The plan Is to make the assessment $146 per share, pro- ducing $145,000, and, using the $50,000 sur- plus, wipe out the defalcation and preserve the Iite of the bank. Bank Examiner Tucker, in charge, says if this money is raised the bank can {mmediately open lts doors and it is understood the larger depositors are willing to have that course taken. The first sult brought in the case of the bank was instituted today by Receiver Tucker. It was in the nature of & blanket attachment on all the property of Frank M. Brown and Is to cover $30,000 of the shortage. This amount s alleged to have been taken within the last twelve months and Includes the first items discovered in the shortage. The suit alleges that Brown, as assistant cashier, fraudulently got pos- session of the money and has departed from the state with intent to defraud his credi- tors. All that he is known to possess will bo attached at once. The attachment gar- nishes whatever of Brown's funds may, be In the hands of Thomas H. Collins and ward Smith and they are made parties to it. Colling is the reputed partner of Brown in a distilling company and Smith was his partner In the manufacture of a patent bieycle lamp. Other suits are ex- pected to follow No action will ho taken against Paris C Brown, as bondsman for his fon, since he and his wife are taking steps to deliver to the bank directors or to the receiver every portion of their tangible property. It is said that United States Attorney Hill does not regard it necessary to come to Newport unless Brown is arrested, in which case his presence would be required.
