Attorney General Oiney sumbiis n Mem
orandum for Consideration.
WASHINGTON, April 1.-THE attorney
general to-day filed in tho United States
supreme court a memorandum for the
consideration of tho justices, giving the
governments view on the petition for a
rehearing of the income tax question
filed by the opponents of the law. The
memorandum is as follows:
Charles Pollock, appellant, VS.. Farmers
Loan q Trust company ct AL, Lewis Hyde,
appellant, VS.. Continental Trust company
of the city of New York ct al, on q petit
ton for a rehearing. The United States
respectfully represents, that as rchear-
ing is granted In the above entitled cases,
the rehearing should cover all of the con-
stitutional questions involved, and not
merely those as TO which the court are
equally divided.
First-Whether tax on incomes gener-
ally. inclusive of rents and interests, or
dividends from investments of all kinds,
is or is not a direct tax within
the meaning of the federal constitution
as a matter upon which, as the original
question, tho government has really never
been heard. Its position at the argument
was that the question had been settled by
the exposition of the constitution practi-
cally contcmporaneous with its adoption,
by n subsequent unbroken line of judicial
precedents. by concurring and repeated
action of all the departments of the gov
ernment, and by a consensus of all text
writer's and authorities by whom the sub
ject heretofore had been considered.
Second-The Importance to the govern
ment of the new views OF its taxing pow

Pushed to their logical conclusion. they

of power all real estate OF the country and

JAPAN-CHfNA-
The War IL About Concluded and An
Agreement Reached.


Agreement Reached.
WASHINGTON, April H. The Chinese
imperial edict sent by the associated press
last night from Tien Tsiu, is accepted
among officials and diplomats here a. set
ting at rest the conflicting reports as to
the final terms of peace. The indemnity
of 200 ,o00, 900 taels is q compromise. Jap
an first demanded 10000 900 taels, but on
the solicitation of Prince Ii threw of
100, 100000.
At the Chinese legation it il stated that
the tael varies in value, but the present
value of the customs or treasury tael, In
which undoubtedly payment will be made
is $1.50 in Mexican silver or about 75 cents
in gold. This would make the indemnify
equivalent to $500, 100000 Mexican silver
or 81 800 600 gold. The Mexican trade dol
lar is the current coin of China. and the
basis of calculation, so 1t is believed. all
though information on the subject is Lack
ing, that the payment will be in silver.
The edict that Japan is TO occupy Lao
Tung peninsula up to the 40th degree of
latitude, settles the important point that
she is to have the great fortress OF Port
Arthur and the immediate surrounding
territory, as foreshadowed in the dis
patches.
Inc Lao lung peninsula Is q smaii
point of land juttine southwark into the
Gulf of Pechi with Port Arthur ut its ex-
treme point. The 10th degree of latitude
cuts across the main land where the little
peninsula broadens into the main land of
Manchuria.. This lower peninsula has the
shape of a sword, and is known as "the
regents sword"
The edict does not state whether Japan
gets the acquisition permanently, or until
the indemnity is paid. She has contended
for having it permanently. If the occu-
| pancy is temporarily it will give Japan
military command over China as long as
the occupancy lasts.
Permanent occupany of the Island OF
| Formosa has been settled some time. The
opening of Peking and four new ports OF
commerce marks an introduction of mod
ern methods in the interior of China.
Japan has gained the privilege of estab-
fishing her cotton and other factories in
China, but 1t remains to be seen whether
Japanese capital will invest in these en-
| terprises, or the Chinese buy the modern
/ facilities.
The edict makes a significant omission
as to the reported Japan-Chinese alliance
offensive and defensive-which, IL con.
summated, would have given the "Orient
to Orientals." Japanese and Chinese Of
ficials in Washington have never credited
the report of this alliance.

feat the main purpose OF the treaty. In
the case of the proposed naturalization
treaty, the objections made by our gov
ernment were to the Italian contention
that former Italian subjects returning to
Italy, although naturalized in the United
States, could not claim exemption from
military service. The Italian government
proposed that naturalization be conferred
only upon persons who applied therefor,
and this was also rejected by Secretary
Gesham on the ground that it would ex-
clude Italian women married to Ameri-
can minor children Of naturalixed Ital-
ians. who, by our law, become American
citixena.

Inquest on the Emlnusl Church Victims
Continues.
CIRCUMsTANTIAL EVIDENCE
Miss Williams Funeral-Hundreds
OF Floral Pieces Sent-The Re-
mains of Miss Lamont are
Shippsd to Dillon.

SAN Francisco, April 17.-The Emanuel
church murders are still the main topic
in the city. Notwithstanding the fact that
one or two newspapers have tried and
convicted Theodore Durrant of the fright
full crimes, there seems to be a reaction in
favor of tho accused man. Evidence so
far produced against him is purely cir
cumstantial, and while tho police say they
have enough evidence to convict the man.
IL is doubtful II any jury would find Dur
rant guilty unless further conclusive proof
is furnished.
The young medical student continues
to assert his innocence and his whole de-
meanor Is that of man confident OF
proving 1t when tho time comes.
The inquest over the remains OF Miss
Minnie Williams was continued to-day.
Durrant protested against being forced to
attend the inquest and said his attorneys
had advised him that the police had no
right to make him 60. He was told by
the officers that IL lac refused to go they
would take him by force. and he finally
reluctantly accompanied them TO the
coroner's office.
Rev. DIR. Gibson was the first witness
called. He said he had seen Miss Minnie
Williams probably three times, and was
not intimate with Durrant.
DIR. Vogel testified that Durrant camo
to the party at his house Friday night n
few minutes before 10 o'clock. His FORE
head was covered with perspiration, but
he saw no blood. Durrant asked permis-
sion TO wash his hands before he entered
the parlor. The witness stated that his
niece, Miss Turner, had told him that
| Durrant had asked her to allow him to
| examine her about some complaint with
which she was troubled.
| A. II. Williams, the father OF the mur.
dered girl, testified that she had told him
that Durrant had not treated her right,
but she did not go into details. He iden'
titled the purse found in Durrant's pocket
as ono he had given his daughter.
The testimony of the witnesses who
claimed to have seen Durrant and Miss
| Minnie Williams entering the church
early Friday evening was rather vague.
| They saw man and woman enter the
gate to the church yard. The man wore
a hat and coat resembling those worn by
Durrant, but they were not positive that
Durrant was the man. The testimony oi
other witnesses was to the effect that they
had never seen Durrant and Miss Will
Jams together and had never heard them
speak of each other. The inquest will be
resumed tomorrow.
The funeral services over the body OF
Miss Williams were held to-day in the
First Baptist church. An immense crowd
attended and hundreds of floral pieces
we're sent. Rev. Boynton made a briei
address, referring to the murder, and
many of tho women present wept.
The body of Miss Blanche Lamont was
shipped to her home in Dillon, Mont, to
day in charge of her sister.

Mn.Es CITY, Mont, April 1.-THE Mon
tana Stock Growers association adj
journed its meeting this afternoon. after
one OF the most successful in point OF in
terest and attendance that has been held
in recent years. Aside from the routine
of the association business, there was
nothing transpircd to note except some
eloquent and pointed speeches and action
on q resolution addressed to the secretary
of agriculture. endorsing the rigid mode
of live stock and meat inspection for ex-
port and asking our congress to enact
laws requesting rigid inspection and
certiflcation thereof on all edible COM
modities exported by them to the United
States, wines. liquors, ETC., inclusive.
The same officers as OF last year were
reelected and routine business transacted
of which tho main thing was the dividing
of tho state of roundup districts and the
appointing of foreman for each district.
The Helena delegation sprane the same
old motion of changing the place of meet
ing to Helena instead of Miles City at the
eleventh hour. which was defeated by
three votes. This is something that has
been sprung each year, but they have al
ways waited until just before adjourn
ment, when most all of the members are
away, as all business of any inter
est to the majority has been trans
acted. Much indignation was expressed
at their action aud if the motion had been
carried no doubt there would have been

and n new one started.

wAsHINGroN, April 17.-An attempt
was made last year. as disclosed in the
diplomatic correspondence of the state
department. TO negotiate treaties of ex-
tradition and naturalization between the
United States and Italy. So far. how
ever, the effort has proved futile. mainly
because of the radical difference in the le-
gal systems of the two countries Tho insur-
mountable obstacle in the case OF the ex-
tradition treaty was the insistence BY
Italy upon the exemption from extradi-
ton OF Italians who might commit crimes
in America and then return to Italy,

ing and killing David Humphrey on
March %, had his preliminary bearing ON
a charge of numbering David Humphrey

bound over in tho sum of SIS 900 to appear
before the next term of the district court,
which meets in July. At Coles trial last
week, on n charge of shooting Geisey with
intent to kill, he pleaded not guilty an d
was bound over in the sum of 5000. SO
that with $4,000 placed against his free
dom, it virtually prohibits his getting bail
and he will stay in the cou nty jail until
his trial in July. The placing OF Coles
bail ut this high figure caused favorable
comment here, the circumstances seem

held against him.
