On Tuesday England formally declared war
against Burmah. The trouble arose originally
over the imposition of King Thebaw of tax of
81. l.O00, 600 on the Bombay Burmah Company,
British corporation doing business in Independ-
ent Burmah. The company refused to pay the
tax and Judgment was entered against it. The
company appealed to the British government,
cation of the right of the Burmese
government to impose the tax. King Thebaw
also asked to state whether he would
submit the question to arbitration and
abide by the decision of the arbitrator His re.
ply to the government at Rangoon was insulting,
and showed as we'll his hatred Of the British as
his determination to set their demands at naught.
The matter was then placed in the hands of Lord
Dufferin, who sent an ultimatum to be answered
satisfactorily before Nov. TO- demanding that
British representative sent to Mandaay should
be received with all honor; that proceedings
against the Bombay -Burmah company be sus-
pended, pending an investigation, and that a
British resident with guard be accepted.

A Prospect of a Big Rush for Positions In
the House of Represen tatives.
Speciai to the Indianapolis Journal.
WASHINGTON, Nov. 1.-THE chances are that
there will be very great demand for positions
under the reorganization of the House Of Rep
resenuatives. The supply Of minor Offices under
the federal government is almost exhausted,
and pack of Democratic ward-workers are here
for positions of some kind, and have been 80 long
that they have virtually failed, and are now look
ing for the reorganization of the House. 1t
must be remembered that the old employees Of
the House-those employed two years ago-are
Democrats, and expect to be retained in their
positions There are not two dozen out of the
probable $50 in the House but that expect to be
kept where they are At present there arc
about $50 new men here who expect places in the
House, and no doubt there more than that
number at their homes throughout the country
who expect to be called here when the House 10
reorganized, four weeks hence It begins to look
as though there would be somewhat of clash
in the matter. and that about thousand men
would be found standing around here at the
end of the second week in December, with hopes
blasted and their feelings crushed by disappoint-
ment Then there viii be some music among

contemplating. she remarked that she
hoped he would not be annoyed with

she had been wishing for a piping bull
finch and an onyx ring. Of course
