The Neutrality OF Treaty Ports of chIns


NEW ToHK, Aug. Ga special dis
patch to the Tribune from Washington
says: President Cleveland has prac-
tically decided to unite with Great
Britain, Germany and italy TO preserve
forcibly the neutrality of what are
known as the treaty ports of China,
during the war between that empire
and Japan. The Chinese government
has been fully informed Of the inten-
ton of the powers through its minis
tiers at Washington, and it is under
stood that the emperor will submit
without protest to their forcible occu-
patton of his principal ports, because
he knows it would be useless to do
otherwise.

SUGAR COMMITTEE REPORT.
So Testimony Discovered to Support the
Statements Made by Edwards That sugar
trust Money Was Used for Campaign

So Testimony Discovered to Support the
Statements Made by Edwards That Sugar
crust Money Was Used for Campaign
Purposes,
WASHINGTON. Aug. 3.-The commit
tee which has been investigating
charges of bribery of senators in favor
OF the sugar schedule, as well as those
charging that senators have specialized
in sugar stock, and that the tlust has,
by campaign contribution. influenced
legislation, has fnrlly made it's report
public. The report speaks OF Quay and
Mcpherson as sugar spectators by
their own testimony, and refers to
cnn,dan and the photograph of an ais
legged order. This Mr.. Camden could
not say he did not write. for the writ
ing looked like his. as did the sigma
ture, but it was unaddrcssed, the orig
inal had been destroyed, and he knew
he had not ordered sugar through the
mau Battershall, whom the committee
discredits.
Mr.. Camden was put through very
severe cross-examination by Senator
Davis, as the report shows and seemed
to be satisfied that he cleared him
self
Senator Smith denied sugar spccula-
ton since the tariff discussion. The
democratic members of the committee
had nothing to say as to their connec-
tion between legislation and the sugar
trust.
The republicans, Davis and Lodge,
made separate report on this, telling
of the interviews had by sugar trust
representatives with senator's, which
was followed by tho changing of the
house free sugar schedule for sched-
ule making sugar, raw and refined,
dutiable. The trust had said it con-
tributed to state campaigns to which
ever party was ip the ascendency in
the state where the contribution was
made, but these contributions were
made in years when there were MS:
tional campaigns on.
The conduct of Edwards, says the re-
port, in publishing specific charges
against public men without having
personal knowledge of the facts, calls
for the serious reprobation of the SEN
etc.
The committee also says: There has
been no testimony presented before your
committee, and your committee has
been unable to discover any, tending to
show that the sugar schedule wac
made up as it then stood in the pro-
posed amendment to the tariff bill, in
consideration of large or any sums OF
money paid for campaigning purposes
of the democratic party"

STILL COMPROMISING.

1t seems that the decision of the states
attorney general in regard to the matter
of compromising with railroads for their
taxes due the counties is not being re-
garded by all of the county commission
ers. The boards in eleven counties have
settled with the railroads since the de-
cision was announced, making sixteen
counties that have compromised on the
basis of 1925 levy. The commissioners
argue that they would rather compro-
mise and get a fair sum than by waiting
for the adjudication of the Santa le
troubles in the courts run the risk of
losing it all. They also claim that they
have right, under the law, to compro-
mise taxes, and this seems to have been
the practice in the state for many years.
1t is worthy to note, IN this connection,
that the commissioners of Edwards
county accepted the Santa Fe roads
proposition to pay its taxes on the basis
of the levy of 1892, with the proviso
that in case any other county in the
state shall contest in the courts for the
full amount of the 1898 levy and shall
recover same, then Edwards shall re-
ceive the amount compromised, or
The full sum of the last assessment with
out further expense to the county in
collecting same. The EdwaLds county
officials made very judicious arrange
ment of the matter. 1t secures to the
county at once the amount of taxes due
for the year. on the 1892 basis, and the
full amount of the 1898 levy later, if
that levy is sustained by the courts.
