Those who have the best means of in
formation expect that the President will
announce this week the appointment to the
vacancy in the Dawes Indian commission
Indian Commissioner Armstrong, after full
consultation with ex-senator Dawes, has
made his recommendations from the stand
point of the various needs of the Indian
service, and Secretary Smith has had under
consideration for several days the scope
and character of the work to be done by
the commission. AT the White House it is
said that there has been a strong pressure
in favor of several prominent democratic
statesmen out of jobs and for whom the
President desires to provide suitable en-
ployment. Among these are ex-senator
Butler Of South Carolina and eX-Represen-
tative Cabaniss of Georgia. Among names
that have been presented to the President
are those of Mr. Enloe of Tennessee. Judge
Peel of Arkansas and Mr. Montgomery of
Kentucky, all OF whom have had long
service in Congress In connection with
Indian matters. Judge Peel having been
for three terms chairman of the House In
dian affairs committee

a year with travelling Expenses.

INTRICACIEs IN THE DECISION.

Internal Revenue Bureau Omcials
Trying to Unravel Them.
The internal revenue officials are busy
trying to unravel some Of the intricacies
involved in the Supreme Court decision in
the income tax cases. Last night they had
a long conference and large number Of
questions that have arisen were disposed
of, and the result is that only four or five
important problems still remain to be
solved. The words income and rent" as
used in paragraph of the courts conclu-
sions will be held to be synonymous. and.
therefore, the exemptions on account Of
rent will be accepted only when it is the
actual return received by a landlord for
the use of his property. Insurance, taxes
and ordinary repairs on rented property
probably will be permitted to be deducted
Aside from the exemption Of interest on
state and municipal bonds these are be-
lieved to be all or nearly all of the changes
affected by the Supreme Court decision.
VIII Use the Newspaper Reports.
Commissioner Miller Of the internal rev.
enue bureau was informed today that he
might be able to get an official copy of the
income tax decision Of the Supreme Court
early next week, but inasmuch as 1t is
necessary for him to act in accordance with
the decision between now and Monday next,
it is likely that he will accept the press re-
ports of the decision as sufficiently accu-
rate for general action. He told Star re-
porter today that the only action since the
decision was announced was to telegraph
collectors to hold the income tax list due
Apri! 10 until further orders. and to retain
possession Of all returns received.
The tax list referred to Is the list Of re-
turns for March, which were due here on
the 10th instant. These returns will be
held by the collectors for revision. In ac-
cordance with the decision.
Mr.. Miller said he was still thinking
about what to do in the matter, and had
been unable, SO far, to reach a conclusion.
He said he was SO busy receiving returns
and seeing taxpayers who wanted to make
returns before Monday that he had scarce
ly had time to think about anything else.
the very good reason that they did not
know yet exactly what to DO for the best.

INDEPENDENCE OF COREA
One of the Terms Of Peace Between Japan
and China
The United States Alone Has RecOg.
mixed This-The Armlstice Closes
I'm Ten Days.

It Is agreed on all hands, including Jap
anese and Chinese officials, tina. the inde-
pendence of Corea will be one of the terms
of peace between Japan and China. This
brings out the curious fact that the United
States is the only power which has hereto
fore recognized Corea's independence. and
has received a diplomatic delegation from
that country. 1t is stated that some time
ago China addressed a private letter to all
foreign powers, in which it was urged that
Corea was Independent in conducting her
internal affairs, but was a tributary of
China SO far as dealings with foreign
powers was concerned. 1t has never been
disclosed what answers the powers gave,
but from the fact that Corea has no diplo-
matte legation anywhere outside the United
States it is concluded that European powers
acquiesced In China's suggestion and failed
to accord Corea complete independence Of
China. It is understood that the United
States never made any formal reply to
China's contention, but the establishment
Of q Corean legation in Washington was
tacit refusal to recognize her authority
over Corea, and a recognition Of the lat
ters independence. 1t is believed that the
peace agreement between Japan and China
will SO conspicuously affirm Corea's inde-
pendence that the little kingdom viii ex-
tend her treaty relations with the re-
tions throughout Europe as we'll as in the
United States.
Terms of Peace Near.
The Japan-China armistice closes in ten
days, SO that It is anticipated by officials
and diplomats that the final terms of peace
must be near at hand. 1t is stated, how
ever. by a diplomat of experience with the
Chinese and Coreans that it is character
istic with them not TO meet an emergency
until the last day. A case is cited in which
Japan gave Corea three months to ac-
Quiesce in certain conditions. There was no
response until the day before the three
months expired, when a Corean official ap-
peared and stated that the subject had
been overlooked, and more time was de-
sired, which request, however. was not
granted. 1t would not be surprising to
officials If Ii Hung Chang pursued this
policy. taking the full ten days before
yielding to all Of Japan's demands
The reports that the indemnity will be
about 4OO,0OOO00 yen comedies substan-
TALLY with the understanding here that
2OO,OOOO 900 would be the amount of the
payment. The present rate of exchange
on the silver yen is forty-seven cents, SO
that 4O0.OO0,OO0 silver yen would be S1Ss,-
100000.

genial in This City.

Captain F. A. Mahan. Commanding the
cruiser Chicago. which is to be put out
of commission at New York on the goth
instant, had an interview with Secretary
Herbert at the Navy Department today
with regard to his future duty. He has
been granted leave of absence for two
months, ard is said to desire its extension
for two years in order to complete some
literary work he has on hand. He is will
ing to forego the extra leave, 1t is said,
provided he can secure shore duty which
will not interfere with the prosecution of
his literary labors. He was offered the
place of chief intelligence officer at the
Navy Department, but is not disposed to
accept it under existing conditions. The
Secretary desires to have the benefit of
Captain Mahan's expert knowledge on
naval affairs and will endeavor to give

There were men dressmakers before
Worth. The first celebrity who made
his mark in this particular line was
Rhomberg, the son of a Bavarian peas
ant from the neighborhood of Munich.
One day in May, 1870, a beautiful
equipage was seen driving about Paris
with an escutcheon in the shape of a
corset and an open pair of scissors in
middle painted on the panel of each
door; that was Rhombergs coat of
arms, and it told its own tale He was A
genius in his way, and owed his success
chiefly to his skill in Disgusting slight
deformities and bringing out the most
attractive charms of his fair customers.
He rapidly made fortune, and left his
heirs an annual income of 1000. I'm

The Bull Charged the Locomotive and

A fight between locomotive and

story. Coming around curve between
the stations of Moravel and Canavarel,
near the Portuguese frontier. the en-
gineer saw herd of wild cattle on the
track ahead. He sounded the whistle
and the surprised cattle-all but one
took to their heels. The one that re-
manned was a huge bull, who lowered
his head and with a hoarse below
charged straight at the oncoming en-
CINE. The shock killed the bull and
derailed the locomotive.
While the trainmen and passengers
were doing their best to get the engine
on the track again the herd of savage
cattle, having got over their fright,
returned to the fray and charged the
workers, who retired hastily to the cars,
where they barricaded themselves.
Then a veritable seige began. After the
first few moments of Stupefied surprise

This is the greatest show

ever been able to make for
a period of any six months

This is greater figure
than was reached by any
daily paper in Topeka for

issued in June, 1895, and
covering the year 1894, gives
the average daily circula-

only 8.744. These figures
were furnished by the pub

felt of 500, which will be
paid to any one disproving
their correctness.

THE MoNorYPE CRAZE.
It Is Becoming Popular and Threatens
to Develop Into = Wild Fad.

IL 14 becoming ROpuA&E anu 1nreSSS411
to Develop Into = Wild Fad.
An effective departure in art is the
new monotype that is beginning to find
it's way to America from Paris where it
has enjoyed for some months a violent
popularity. The process was discovered
by Hubert Herkimer. The artistic folk
of Paris were quick to see its possibili-
ties. and the fame thereof flew like wild
fire throughout the infiammable paint
ers' quarters. Monotype parties have
been one of the latest fads of these APP
preciative people. Artists infected with
the craze and their curious friends gath
er in some accessible studio in ardent
groups to turn out these pictures. The
excitement lies in the fact that no one
can foresee quite how they will turn
out, the pleasure, not in the novelty,
though that, of course, contributes to it,
but mostly in the potent truth that in
no other way can the same effects OF
light and shade be obtained. To pro-
duce the monotype the artist paints his
study upon a zinc plate, which is put
through a press. AS the name implies,
only one impression is produced. Those
that are done in one color are the most
successful as yet, though some OF the
two-color attempts are very charming.
The subtlety of certain delicate effects,
as, for instance, sunlight on water, is
rendered by this new phase of art in
truly marvellous manner. Although the
cordially of Paris may not be expected,
perhaps, in America, for the monotype,
there can be no doubt that they will be

once at home in our art exhibits and
when, too. the public has learned to un-
derstand them sufficiently to appreciate
the fact that favorite study, produced
in this way, will not be found dupN
Gated in a neighbours drawing room;
this is now the fear of the careless art
patron who seems to have some hazy
idea of etchings in his mind. The prac-
teal wife of an artist who has lately re-
turned from Paris with the monotype
fever raging in his blood, complains
ruefully: Why, my husband took the
clothes-w ringer away from the maids
for press to produce those pictures!
She smiled with woman's superiority
as she added: He said they could have
it back again. 1t would take at least
three hours to remove that oily paint
with turpentine every time they used
it." With sigh, q have bought new
wringer" So there is sordid side to
even such gems of art as his wife dis
plays with a pride that must soften, if
it does not efface, the domestic incoD-
venience.
The esthetic side is Venetian scenes
in brown, an old stone bridge in gray,
mountain peaks and seascape in blue,
and cluster of picturesque willows in
green. Who could mind the loss of one
wringer after feasting the eyes on such
exquisite shading. particularly if it
isn't her wringer?
