A DISPATCH from McKeesport, tells,
in a few words, of tragedy almost
unique in the history of the race. A man
who was being shaved at barber's shop
was telling funny story when he sud-
denly expired It is not too much to say
that this sad event was in opposition to
all precedent II the barber, instead of
che customer had been narrating a side
splitting story, after the manner of ton
sorial artists in places like McKeesport,
no one would have been astonished at the
death of the customer. 1t is the habit of
provincial BARRIERS to act as If they were
always scraping an acquaintance. 1t is
probable that the unfortunate McKees.
port raconteur died of shock. He had
strained his nervous system too far in at
tempting to get laugh out of barber
Perhaps he was attempting to stave off a
demand for "a shampoo" or "a hair cut"
but, whatever was his motive in telling
that story, his tate is a warning. When
your chin is being shaved repress its
music,

Its Effect Upon the Politics Of Bu-
rOpean Nations,
THEOOOUPATION OF PORT ARTHUR

Japanese Control of That Stronghold Is
Only Temporary, and the Nations VIII
Therefore Have No Cause for lnterven-
tion on That Score.
TGENTsIN, April 1S.-Japan's occupation
Of Port Arthur is temporary, thus secur-
ing China's integrity on the mainland of
Asia after term Of years, and avoiding
the possibility of European Intervention.
The latest reports concerning the war
Indemnity TO be paid by China to Japan
Place the amount mt 100000 600 taels of sill
yer. The tael is not a coin but weight,
and consequently varies according TO the
price of silver. In Pekin at present one
tael is equal in value to one and half
Mexican silver dollars, or seventy-f five
cents in American gold. At this rate the
indemnity of POO, 100000 taels is equal to
$3.50, 100000 in American gold. The silver,
in large transactions in the east, is put up
in the form of bullion, or ingots, each in
got containing silver to the amount of
from twenty to fifty taels. The indem-
nifty is to be paid in five yearly instalments.
LONDON, April 1S.-A dispatch to The
Times from Hong Kong says tits reported
that the cession by China of the Island of
Formosa to Japan dissatisfles the British
there. The dispatch adds that the Chinese
soldiers threaten to kill their command
ers if the island is ceded.
A Berlin dispatch says in reference to
the Chinese edict that the import duties at
the open ports shall not exceed per cent
that Communication duty of 2per cent. on
the original cost of imports into Chinl
represents, to all intents and purposes, a
| ditferential duty against Europc In tavor
of Japan
Editorially The Times says it presumes
that the independence of Corea really
means a more or less thorough Japanese
protectorate. 1t adds that when the exact
terms of the treaty are known European
diplomacy will probably make show OF
considering them, but if the Japanese re-
fuse, as they presumably will, to listen to
diplomatic exhortations, it is difficult tc
conceive that any more effective interfer
ence with their plans need be seriously
apprehended. ..f .fE sa.
A dispatch from Vienna says it is un
usual to combine treaty Of peace with {
treaty of alliance, and it is probable, there
fore, that a separate treaty, not destined
for publication, has been signed by the
Japanese and Chinese representatives
Whether or not this treaty takes the form
of an offensive and defensive alliance mat
ters little, since it is known that Ii Hung
Chang has always wanted to open his
slumbering country to European civiliza
tion. 1t is not likely that he would let
slip such an opportunity of doing so with
the aid of the Japanese.
A dispatch to The Daily News from Ber
lin says The National Zeitung declares
that all nations interested in commerce'ir
China must lose no time in protecting
their interests against a treaty which will
completely paralyze European competition
as against Japan. The dispatch adds that
all the papers agree that in regard to the
territorial concessions Russia has the first
voice.

Flghtlng for Her Chlldren.

CHICAGO, April ls.--A strange case came
up before Judge Kohlsaat in the probate
court yesterday afternoon. Mrs. Regina
Lingle made an application for the re-
moval of her daughter from the guardian
ship of her own children. The two chill
1ren, Ruth and Whiting, are entitled to
the income from fund left by their grand
mother now amounting to 100000. Mrs.
Whiting denied that the society was in
the slightest degree an immoral one, and
said that her children were given the best
of care Miss Annie Aiken, formerly a
member of the colony, gave damaging tes-
timony against the morality of the colony.
The case will be bitterly fought.

TRENTON, April 17.-The senate investi-
eating committee hearing yesterday was
devoted to the question of state printing,
which was under consideration when the
committee adjourned last Friday. Otto
Heinz was recalled to the stand. He tes
titled that Lawyer Frank McDermott, who
appeared as his counsel ON Friday, had
not been employed to so act, and chat Nc
Dermott had rendered his firm no eryice
except to get through the legislature a
bill, for which he charged S2,095.
Mr. Heinz, when questioned as TO his
failure to bid for printing state reports in
German in 1893 said h refrained from
doing so in consideration ul $500, received
from John L. Kuser who got the contract
Mr.. Heinz swore that he afterwards re-
turned to Kuser $3.50 of this money because
kuser complained that he had not got all
the work he expected to under his bid
Charles S. Robinson, of Princeton, who
bid low on two reports in 1903 testified that
he withdrew his bids and that he got the
printing of one of the books from Kuser
at the higher price of seventy-six cents,
his bid having been forty five cents, and
that he got $500 in consideration of giving
up the other bid of f1fty-flve cents Editor
Krautter, of the Newark Deutsche Zeitung,
testified that the same year Kuser paid
him $500 not to bid. The committee will
meet again next Tuesday.

THE FRISCO CHURCH MURDERS
Only Circumstantial Evidence Against tbs
Accused Medical student.

SAN FRANCISCO April 1S.-The Eman
uel church murders are still the mair
topic of discussion on every side in thi;
city notwithstanding the fact that one
or two newspapers have tried and con
vlcted Durant of the frightful crimes
there seems to be n reaction in favor o
the young man. The evidence so far pro
duced against him is only circumstantial
and while the police say they have enougi
evidence to convict ten men, it is doub3c.
if any jury would find Durant guilty, IN
less further conclusive proof is fu 20 nd
The young medical student does n -.
like guilty man, and if he did
the murders he certainly is m e
markable nerve. Last night he slcp, WI
and he has a good appetite. He continue
to assert his innocence, and his whol1 dc
meanor is that of man confident of prov
ing 1t when the time comes.
The inquest over the remains of Minnie
Williams was continued yesterday. A. e
Williams, the father af the murdered girl
testified that she had said to him tha
Durant had not treated her right bu
she did not go into details He identified
the pocketbook found in Durant's pocke
as one he had given his daughter. Tht
testimony of the witness who claimed tt
have seen Durant and Miss Williams en-
tering the church early Friday evening
was rather vague.
The funeral services over the body o
Miss Williams were held in the First Bap
tist church nimmense crowd attended
George King, who says that he found Du

was murdered, was one of the pallbearers
Rev. DIR. Gibson was also in attendance

AN impressive exhibit of the stupidity
OF sOcialistic legislation in general is
found in the fact that the classes chiefly
intended to be hit by the income tax are
the very classes that escape it. The great
real estate owners in cities and the large
landed proprietors and bonanza farmers
of the country districts were the men
principally aimed at by the Populists
and ths featherhead element of the
Democracy who forced the income tax
through Congress, but the Supreme
Courts decision releases them from its
operation. The tens of millions of dollars
of the Astors' incomes from their hun
dreds OF millions of dollars worth of real
estate which the PETERS, Blands, Aliens,
Sibleys and the rest of the sans culottes
In Congress were particularly anxious to
assatl easily eludes and battles them. The
part of the tax which stands is the part
which Is ordinarily most difficult to col
lect. The income from notes, bonds,
stocks and the other securities which the
tax covers can dodge the collector to a
considerable degree, and the larger this
income is the larger Che proportion Of 1t
which can conceal itself.
