BERLIN. Aug 19-With the retirement
Of Baron Won Maltzahn from the head of
the treasury is supposed todsappear what
ever element of obstruction the poliey of
DIR. Miguel. Prussian Minister of Finance,
could meet in official circles. Count Wes-
uer, the new head of the treasury, will
inaugurate his career by presiding over
series OF conferences to be held by dele
gates from the federated states on the
new taxation propositions. According to
the semi-official press all of the Federal
states are now agreed that the tax on
Bourso transactions should be doubled and
graduated tax be imposed on wines and
tobaccos. The proposal to place
tax on advertisements has been entirely

Vossische Zeitung says the new expen-
diture incurred or to be incurred

necesstates the raising of only 1000, 900
marks by new imposts, but it is certain
that Dr. MIGUEL will find a majority in the
Reichstag for whatever measures he may
propose, provided the new taxation be so
distributed as to weigh little on the people
who can least bear further burdens.
Outside of the official papers, the
financial plans decided upon, SO far as
they have been revealed. excite hostile
criticism.
Count Wesner's appointment to the
Imperial Secretaryship of the Treasury
helps to widen the breach already existing
between Germany and Russia, caused
mainly by the customs tariff war now
being waged between the two powers.

posed that his sentiments are anti-Russian.

America, q brief visit TO this port, and
then to Honolulu, where the threatening 9
attitude of Japan rendered it necessary
that 6rst-class fighting ship remain.
All this while foe was at work upon
the white cruisers hull, and her plates
became a mass of submarine growth. No
means have been found 10 keep this
growth away from steel and iron ships,
g although numerous paints have been
patented which. it has heen claimed would
act as preventiVes. Last May the Bos-
ton became SO foul e., so covered with
grass and barnacles-that when she put
out to sea for gun practice it was found she
could only steam four knots an hour
Usually in such case the vessel is a. once
sent to drydOck, The growth removed, the
paint scraped and fresh coat put on.
For this paint, although it does not pre-
vent submarine growth, protects the plates
from the action of acid and preserves them.
But although it was absolutely neces-
sary for the Boston to 60 into dock, yet at
this time all American men-of-war of any
thing like her build were maneuverng in

1t was impossible for the AmeI.s, X sh ip
to leave. But it was equally impossible to
allow her to continue in such shape, for
the simple reason that with such reduce
speed she could not carry coal enough to
even reach San Francisco. Admiral
Skerrett therefore ordered divers to do the

From private advices received from

vessels in the Pacific, except the Boston.

Senator Perkins Hard at
Work. !
ALL THE SAME HE GOES.
Senator White Is After Him and
Secretary Carlisle Is DESTROYS
of Making a Record.
Special to THE MORNING CALL.

WASHINGTON, Aug. 10. = Collector
Quinn's friends are making an effort to
have him retained in office, and Senator
Perkins and the Republican Representa-
tives in Congress met this morning and
wrote letter to Secretary Carlisle asking
that he be allowed to serve his term out
The letter was very brief. Senator Per-
kins and Messrs. Hlborn, Loud and
Bowers merely asked that, if Quinn was
not to be removed ''for political reasons"
he be allowed to serve his term out.
Nevertheless it seems pretty certain that
Mr.. Quinn will have to 60. The Demo-
Gratis regard the Collector as an offensive
partisan, and it was easy enough to i'm
press this on Carlisle's mind, as the Secre-
tary Is working TO make record as the
"boss" Democrat OF this administration.
Senator White does not like TO discuss
Quinn's case for publication, but il is well
known that he has never forgiven him for
the part he took at Sacramento during the
Senatorial election. Mr.. White thought
that Quinn should have taken no hand in
that contest. White is outspoken in his
ideas, however, when expressed privately
to his friends, and he does not hesitate TO
say that political reasons alone should d ic-
