AssociatedlPreas Dispatch by Special Wires
New York, Sept. S.A cablegram
received from Southampton to-day an
uounces that the American line steamer
st. Louis, which, 1t was surnised yes
terdav afternoon, was making new
record, locked at Southampton at 8. 30
O'Clock this morning, and that the
time OF her passage FROM Sandy Hook
lightship to The Needles was six days.
10 hours and IA minutes. This 10 tine
beat eastward time ever made to
Southampton, and the ST. Louis has
not only broken her own best previous
record by one hour and l6 minutes, but
has shattered the record of the Ham
burg linsr Furst Bismarck, held since
September, 1883, by Al minutes, wrest-
ing from her the supremacy of the
Southampton eastward passage.
| The st. Louis and st. Paul now
| hold the best Southampton records,
the former having tho eastward record
by her performance just completed and
| the latter the westward by making the
passage in nix days and 81 minutes, in

This is triumph for American ship
building. for not only do the ST. Louis

papers. On tho WestmoreHnd county
papers there was nothing to show that
| johnson had reuounced all allegiance
| to foreign powers, although the law
specifically states that there must be
such declaration.
| The omission WIS discovered by the
court whom the papers were read, and
Juhnson's attention was called to the
matter. lie was informed that in view
of the omission, it would be impossible
to grant final papers. Johnson was
willing TO comply with thu law in every
particular, but the error could not ht

could do would DO to take out his frs
papers.
After brief consultation it wa
decided to communicate with Prothono

REPUBLICAN DIFFERENCES.

Republican Senator'S hold so many
different views on tariff matters that a
caucus was necessary to arrange their
differences. Among the matters to be
considered was the Hawaiian reciprocity
proposition anil the antitrust amend.
ment Some. dissatisfacei exists con-
corning the sugar schedule with IL dispo-
sition to have it amended and the differ
entail reduced. This was only the gossip
that was going on among Senators, who
said they did not fully understand the
sugar schedule, and thought it might be
improved. .the Republican members of
the finance committee were trying to
agree upon something concerning Hawaii
and avoid a caucus if possible; but the
differences of opinion on the Republican
side were such as to render this impossi
bile. Some of the Republicans were deter
abrogated. and others just US much re-
solved that il should remain in force The
internal revenue ON tobacco tax was
another source of disagreement. There
was clash between the New England
tobacco growers and that of other parts
of the country on 1.-The dutiable rate on
wrapper tobacco. The same was also true
with reference to the duty on hides, and
the advocates CT IL higher rate on wool
had come to the belief that they would do
better in caucus than with the finance
committee. With such wide divergence
of opinion on the tariff Question, the Re-
publicans are making rather slow pro-
gress in considering the bill, notwith-
standing the Democrats are disposed to
interpose no factional objections to their
work.

AN INHERITANCE TAX.

The Democratic members of the Senate
committee on finance have agreed to offer
as an amendment to the tariff bill pro.
vision for an inheritance tax. The amend
ment was prepared by Senator Turpie
and was Nv him presented to the Senate
on Friday on benalf of the Democratic
minority.
The principal provision of the amend
ment is as follows: 'tTnat On and after
the first day of June, 1898, and for five
years thereafter, there shall be laid and
levied sum equivalent to 9 per cent. OF
the value of every decedents estate, as
an inheritance, to be paid by the execu-
tors, administrators and trustees thereof,
or by the heirs, or by the distributes,
devlsees or legatees, when the value of
such estate as an inheritance is 81, 900
and upwards, except where legacies or
requests are made to religious, charita
bic, educational or other organizations,
which may, by the laws of the State, ter
ritory or district in which the decedenU
was residing at the time of his death be
exempt from taXatioh.''
Other provisions of the amendment
prescribe methods OF ascertainng the
value of estates and of collecting the tax.
These duties are imposed upon internal
revenue collectors, who are authorized to
bring suit in the federal courts to collect
the tax in case such proceeding is made
necessary. The Secretary of the |reaury
is empowered to make rules and regula-
tons for carrying the provision into
effect.

MUST BE PATIENT.

In recent utterance In reference to
the present financial depression of the
country. President Mckinley makes use
of some very high sounding and elusive
phrases, tending to substantfate his APP
parent belief that the country is prosper
Gus. He says "A patriot makes better
citizen than pessimist and ~e have got
to be patient" This perhaps is true, but
the President puts wrong construction
on the meaning of the word patriot. 1t
is very easy to be patriotic and uncom-
planning when everything is working
our way; when the national patriots ARE
assembled to enact laws for our personal
aggradizement; when patriotism in it's
broadcast sense to dull minds embraces
none other than the great ego; but to
chant OF the virtues of patience to those
men in the North who, If reports be true,
are standing idle while their families are
starving and vainly supplicating those
patient and patriotic preservers of the ma
tional honor for even the crumbs that
fall from their table, is the merest bosh
and nonsense. Such silly utterances are
but requiems over the defunct principles
of government, and suggest the chatter of
vultures making merry over n carcass.
