The Steamships Northwest and North.
land.

When the palace steamship North
west was placed in service last season
on the Great Lakes to run between Du-
luth and Buffalo exclusively for passen-
ger traffic a great many prophesied a
dismal failure for the boat and it's own
ers and II was dubbed the White Ele-
plant. She proved not only to be
money winner from the start but was
so successful that her sister ship the
Northland was launched in March and
commencing May 2Sth, a semi-weelkly
service will be inaugurated in connec-
ton with the Great Northern railway
which Will be unequalled in comfort
and luxury and the time consumed for
lake and rail transcontinental trip
no more than by the fastest rail sched-
ule. This season the boats Will touch
at Mackinac Island connecting there
with the splendid steamer Manitou for
Chicago.
When the Northwest was launched
there was but little excitement in naut-
zeal circles but she was so acceptable
to the travelling public and her service
so superior to even the luxuries of the
finest limited trains on the Pennsyl-
vania or Vanderbilt lines that with each
trip the patronage increased rendering
necessary the completion of the North
land. The launching OF the latter boat
was considered such an epoch in the
history of lake traffic that 1t was the
subject of finely illustrated articles in
the leading magazines and newspapers
OF the eastern and middle states

Boise, April 24.-United States Dis
trict Attorney Forney will leave tomor-
row for Portland, Or, where he goes to
look into the rulings of the United
States court presided over by Judge Gil
bert upon the point of what constitutes
Chinese merchant within the meaning
OF the laws governing the admission of
Chinese coming into this country 1t
mas been maintained that the gardener
doing business under firms name is
merchant. and officers of the govern
ment desire to settle the point if posi-
BILE. From the fact that Forney goes to
Portland on this errand, and from the
further fact that special agents are
still busy in the city, it is inferred that
the advice of Great Britain to look into
the matter of Chinese certificate frauds
further is being followed under instruc-
tons from Washington. 1t is not i'm
possible that there will yet be sensa-
tional developments in connection with
the certificate frauds, the proportions of
which increase as further knowledge of
them is secured.

they see them gradually lose strength, lose

was for a long time given in all such cases.

Nations on the European Continent Get
Ready to Make Trouble.
Washington, April 24.-The Japanese
officials here are disposed to treat
lightly the reports from European cap
itals as to the troubles over the China
Japanese settlement. Minister Kurino
is satisfied that all will be amicably ar
ranged.
Another official says, however, that
there is considerable apprehension at
the menacing attitude of Russia, Ger
many and France. The report that
Russia had instructed her ambassador
at Pelkin to demand q cession of terri
tory for harbor on the Pacific con-
firms the view that Washington diplo-
mats have long held, that Russia would
obtain Port Lazareff before the negotia-
tons ended. The failure of England to
join the menacing act of other European
powers is explained by officials on the
ground that England already has her
Asiatic possessions and Pacific naval

are anxious to secure similar territory
and naval advantages

DETAILS STRANGE, ROMANCE RICH
Edward Mcmahon Claims an Estate on
Peculiar Grounds.

Kansas City, April 25.-A story
strange in detail and rich in romance
has been unfolded in connection with
the suit brought by Edward A. McMa-
hon to gain possession of a valuable es-
tate In California left by John Bensley,
who died in San Francisco in June,
1889. Mcmahon Is manager for the
Reed Roofing Company OF this city.
Nearly 20 years he lived under the sup
position that his name was Mcmahon
and he the son of poor parents. Within
the last 80 days he claimed to have dis
covered evidence which satisfies him
that his real name is Granville, that he
Is the stepson of John Bensley, and his
mother was Bensley's wife. At the
time of Bensley's death all of his proper
ty was held in fee simple by the wife.
who followed him to the grave few
months later. The couple were appar-
emily childless. so if Mcmahon succeeds
in establishing his relationship he will
obtain the whole estate, which consists
of property in San Francisco and San
Diego, Cal. and Centralia, WASH, valued
at more than half a million dollars.

Denounce the Reports OF Combine to
Raise Prices for Meat.
Chicago. April 24.-The Chicago live
stock exchange has adopted resolutions
setting forth that the cattle receipts
at the four principal western markets
SO far have been 100000 head less than
for the same period of 1894, and, as a
result. the prices have advanced, caus-
ing corresponding increase in whole
sale prices OF dressed beef. The resolu-
tons declare that exaggerated reports
and false conclusions have been widely
circulated as the cause of the recent
advance in prices and such "unfounded
reports have caused the decreased con-
sumption of beef, resulting in a de-
moralization of trade and consequently
lower prices for cattle"

JAPANs REPLY TO THE RUSSIANS

All Demands Was Made

ST. Petersburg, April z5.-rhe japanese
government. replying to the note of the
Russian government, intimating that
there are various conditions In the treaty
of peace between Japan and China that
Russia cannot allow to be put into execu-
ton, has informed Russia that II Japan
yielded to the exactions OF Russia France
and Germany, she would expose herself
to revolution as the Japanese people
are intoxicated with their victories and
would assent to no concessions. In spite
of this reply Russia is determined to
maintain her demands.
Washington, April 25.-Japanese officials
here question the correctness of the St
Petersburg cablegram giving the Japanese
answer to Russia. 1t is pointed out that
the Toxic government would not make
such concession of weakness as to say
revolution would occur. 1t is also ar
gued that the answer lacks the dignity
that VIII characterize such an answer as
Japan may make.

Summing up, the chief justice says
among other things: THE requirement
of the constitution IS that no direct tax
shall be laid otherwise than by appor-
tionment. The prohibition is not against
direct taxation on land, from which the
implication Is sought to be drawn that
indirect taxes on land would be consti-
tutional. but II is against all direct
taxes, and 1t is admitted a tax on real
estate is direct tax. Unless. therefore,

which to rest the contention that real
