Of this city, speaking on behalf Of corporate
interests in opposition TO che bill, refuted
the statement made last week by Leonard
Rhone, master of the State Grange, to the
effect that real estate pays on an average
about nineteen mills, while corporate prop
erty pays only two mills.
Mr.. Ehune's mill rate was reached by es-
timatirg the total real estate in the com
monwealth at 81, 600, 900, 600, which MIR.
Olmsted characterized as absurd upon its
face as it was less than So per acre for the
entire state including city property, coal,
iron, zinc, paint, slate and other mines,
oil lands and timber lands, city lots, bank
buildings, stores, dwellings barns, stables
and all Improvements of every kind. He
also produced records from the Offices of
the various county commissioners showing
that assessors were deliberately instructed
in many counties to assess real estate at
varying rates from one-half to as low as 10
per cent. Of actual value. In Wilkes-Barre
the assessors returned 527, 900, O0O4
The county commissioners cut it down
to 50, 900, 900 to elualize with che rest OF
the county, the entire county valuation be-
ing placed at SIS, 900, O00, whereas in adj
vertising county bonds it was stated at
$3.50, 0O0, 900. He said Mr.. Bhone's per
sonal experience was the best reiutation of
his public statement and produced evidence
in detail to show that his farm in Centre
county, valued by reputable citizeusat Sl4,-
600, was returned for taxation at $500,
the total tax paid by Mr.. Rhone being $54,
equal to six mills On actual value. OF
t~wenty-three cattle upon the farm only five
cows were returned for taxation valued at
Sl4 each.
The Pennsylvania tax conference, COM
posed OF fifty members representing ten diff
iarenJ interests, is performing a very inn
pOrtant and expensive service for the state
in the collection of statistics, and before
the end Of the year will be able to show
precisely the extent TO which each interest
within the state is taxed and the extent Of
certain interests which are not taxed at all.

Crowds at the White House.

WASHINGTON, March 29.-The president
played to a crowded house yesterday. To
some of the audience it was comedy while
10 others it was tragedy, and his role was
Interpreted by them as that of the benevo-
lent father or the heavy villain respec-
lively.
Some of them were, the successful ones
doubtless, who came away with smiling
faces and lightsome step, while others,
baked in their hearts ambitions, strobe
out with fearful frown and muttering
'5'deathI" under their breathe.
"Therear too many rules around here, any
how, growleda western congressman when
the hour of II had arrived and found him
still hanging on the fringe Of the crowd.
eve can't see the president at all on Mon
day, we are limited to one hour on Tuesday
and Friday, consequently when opportunity
is given to get at him there is such a mob

with a retiring soul can't get within sound
of his voice. This u~ndiguiled scramble

cited the ire of Mr.. Tewksbury, who said
Rarcastioally: 81 would like 20 have some
reason for the passage of this alien seditiOn
bill"
Mr., Kane, the author of the bill, said
that the purpose of this bill is to eQualiZe
the burden Of the local taxation. 1t is to
close up a gap that is not contemplated in
amy other revenue bill. He referred to the
great mass of foreigners Of the lowest class
Of civilization found in Europe who have
been brought here tOdisplacet the Americans
and infesU the industrial and commercial
centers. They are not citizens and they
seldom remain here. When they have ac-
cumulated a sufficient sum they return to
their native land and others come to take
their places. it is time to call a halt in
extending the hand OF charity to subjects
Of a foreign government and neglecting
our own citizens,
The bill was amended so as to designate
how the tax collected shall be distributed
and passed third reading.

WASHINGTON, March 99.-No trcoty that
has come before the senate in late years
has attracted more public attention han
that which was recently concluded between
Russia and the United States. it has been
severely criticised uHd is said by its opPo-
urnfs to- be the first stroke against the lib
erty of those who flee to America to escape
UU Iticgi persecution. The opposition to- the
treaty. it, now apDaars, is a clause found
hidden away in the text seemingly Of %
cent purporU. Tine treaty makes the for
gerry of any paper or document an oiIcase
iog which the guilty person may be extra
Citad. tit is well known that no political
suspect can escape from Russia without
tine aid of "a passport and that he cannot SEE
cure that coveted document. Necessarily
he is compelled TO resort to the e~ypedieu5
of forgery, and the instrument that passes
him through the frontier is a forgery, the
forgery of a government paper.
The treaty contains no explanatory foot
notes, but makes estr8ditable the oflense
that has been in every such case committed.
By this means it is argued that the Russian
government has, by virtue Of the treaty
ratified by the United States, a veritable
arag-net with which it can pull back into
boundary every man who makes his escape
and punish him-not for the political Of
tense, but the act of forgery. The result,
Ii is claimed, win be the same for it re-
moves the individual from the right Of
asylum which he has gained by flight to
this country.
Senators now say that there is no inten-
ton in the treaty that such a construction
shall be placed upon it. They admit that
forgery of passports is a forgery Of state
documents, within the Interpretation of
tho convention, and that q demand might
be made upon this government for the ey-
tradition of the offender, but the admission
Is met by a statement that is claimed to
neutralize the effect Of such an i~nterpreta-
lion. The presentation of q warrant and
papers Of extradition is, they say, not suf-
lcient evidence upon which to transport a
man out of the country.
The magistrate who sits in the case and
after him the secretary Of state must pass
upon the question whether the forgery of
such papers constitute a political otfense.
If it is such an o4tense, then, say these
senators, e%xtradition would not be allowed.
Those who are opposed to the treaty look
with alarm upon a matter that vests in the
judicial decision of the magistrate or even
the secretary of state, the Interpretation of
"a convention, which they assert should bear
upon its face just what is intended and
leave nothing for the Interpretation and
possible dispute.
The case of Senator Roach, of North Da-
kota, was brought before the ena in the
shape Of q resolution offered by Mr.. Hoar,
directing the committee IN privileges and
elections to investigate the allegations Of
criminal embezzlement and to report the
facts and what is the duty of the senate in
relation thereto.
