"BUT TO DO AND DIE.~
English Soldiers Faithful to Dfsci-
pline in the Face of Death.

LONDON, Jan. PA dispatch to the
Dally Telegraph furnishes particulars Of the
wreck of the British Indian troopship Warren
hastings, which was wrecked off the Island
OF Reunlon' on Thursday, Jan. IA. The ship,
II appears, ran ashore at 2:20 a. m. 1t was
pitch dark, and torrents of rain were falling.
Sne mad on board soldiers and crew to the
number of !, 231 men, in addition to a number
OF women and children, the families of the
married men Of the military force When
the ship struck the troops were ordered to
retire from the upper deck to which they
had focked on the first alarm, and to fall in
below. This they did promptly the most
perfect discipline prevailing, although the
men were fully conscious of the danger which
they were in. They were quietly mustered
on the tween decks, without confusion or ex
element. Owing to the fact that the surf
boats could not be used in landing the
troops the officers Of the Warren Hastings
were lowered from the ships bows to the
rocEs, and when 1t was found that landing
could be affected in this way the disembarka-
ton of the soldiers was commenced at
o'clock.
Commander Holland hoped 1t was safe to
retain the women and children and the sick
ON board until daylight. But the steamship
that every one was ordered to the upDer

the landing of the troops to be stopped in

was oheyed with admirable discipline By 8

value that there would be either mon
strous injustice to the owner Of the
house or horse of little value, or
equally monstrous favoritism to the
owner Of the costly one. There Is but
one honest way, and that Is to base
taxes on the value of the thing taxed.
This would be the unanimous opinion
of the hundred. we say and this IL
the honest way adopted by the states.
This is the ad valorem, the other Is
the specific method.
But, the Republican advocates Of
specific rates say, the ad valorem way
opens the door to fraud on the revenue
by differentiation of the articles i'm
ported. Undoubtedly; just as there is
in our state system, and just as there
Is always in taxation. We never knew
a protectionist yet who was not
smuggler if he dared be, for they no
more than others like to pay taxes.
But the federal government has an adj
vantage that state revenue officers
have not. Its appraising officers are
not elected by the men who pay the
taxes. They are not afraid of losing
their job If they make the import pay
better, more equal burden bearing in
the state when our assessors are re-
lieved from that fear. Given ability
and honesty in the appraisers, and the
chance of differentiation Is small
one; but the human factor, with all
its failings, Is an unacceptable one in
any system, and will show it's defects
under the specific as under the ad
valorem method. The question re-
mains which one is just in it's principle
When one passes from principle to
motives the animus for the demand
for a specific tax by the protectees
is plain. That tax is rigid and un-
affected by fluctuations in market
prices. The general trend is toward
reduction of values, and a specific tax
makes the protection greater when,
values are declining. For Illustration,
the tax on wire nails, two inches long
or longer, in the act Of 1888, was 4
cents a pound; the import value
was 3.9 cents a pound, making the tax
| equal to an ad valorem rate Of 119
per cent Had the specific rate been
maintained until 1899 when the Dric-A
had fallen to 1T cents a pound, the
protection would have been nearly
three times as great, the equivalent
ad valorem rate being 235 per cent. AS
revenue decreases proportionally to the
increase of protection, the solicitude Of
these people for revenue, their laments
over it's losses by the ad valorem
method, may be regarded merely as
another display Of their habitual hy-
pocrisy.

autopsy today the physicians in attendance
concluded that Nordhausen could not posi-

died. There was wound on his forehead
for which he asked treatment. The doctors
also found a second wound in the breast from
which a bullet was extracted when he was
first attended. The hospital doctors state
that when summoned they noticed that the
wounds were thirty hours old, the blood be-
ing dried around the wounds and on Nord-
hausen's clothing. Just before his death hs
tac1tly admitted to the physicians that he
had been shot by a woman but he declined
to discuss the matter, saying: ooh, never
