TOKENS OF ESTEEM
Given Gov. C|eaves by Council,
Staff, and State Officials.
A Memorable Occasion at the CAPITOL
Wednesday Afternoon.
Presentation Of. Magnificent Gifts Followed
by Complimentary Lunch.

The air of mystery which has hing
about the State House was explained
yesterday afternoon, when Governor

about o'clock to find it filled by his
Council the full staff in uniform
Governor-elect Powers, Speaker Lar
rabee' President Day and three score
OF the leading staff officials, with a
few prominent gentlemen from outside
the Capitol.
1t was an occasion long to be re-
membered, and the scene that followed
will dwell long in the hearts of all who
were fortunate enough to be present.
The outgoing Chief Executive. es-
teemed. honored, respected, loved. by
all present and by all the citizens of
the State, was presented by the Cap
itol officials, by the Staff and by the
Council. with beautiful tokens of the
place he holds in their hearts. 1t was
memorable and impressive occasion.
After all had gathered in the cham
Der the Governor was sent for by In
surance Commissioner Carr, and soon
he entered the room escorted by Mes
senger Purinton. Naturally he was a
little startled but he walked to his
chair as calmly as though only the

members of the Council were there,
and the body was about to go into ex-
ecutive session. He hardly glanced
around the room, but arranged the
books and papers upon the desk with
the utmost unconcern. Those nearest,
however. said his hand trembled. There
was moments silence and then Mr..
Carr stepped forward, and read an
eloquently worded testimonial, signed
by all the State officials, attesting to
the pleasant relations that have exe
listed between them and the Governor,
congratulating him and the State on
his magnificent administration, eulo-
giving his great ability and many no.
BILE qualities, and wishing him all sue
cess and happiness in the future.
Then Mr.. Carr introduced Hon. L.
T. Carleton, who stepped forward and
spoke as follows, in his usual mastery
manner:

vent improper persons from engaging in

EX-CONSUL WALLER
Evidently Made His Madagascar Trip
Pay Very Well

KANSAS CITY, July 2S.-John L.
Waller the Kansas City, Kan, negro,
who, after retiring from the United
States consularship of Tamatave, NADIA
gascar, was thrown into French prison
and kept there for months, will go to
London in October to push the scheme
for financiering his grant of 144 900 acres,
which the Madagascar government
made to him before the French annexed
the island
Waller decided to go upon the receipt
of the decision Of the state department,
signed by Assistant Secretary w. r.
Day, and dated July II. The decision in
substance says: 1T is a fundamental
principle Of international law that when
one nation conquers another it assumes
all obligations and engagements entered
into by the conquered government be-
tween citizens and other governments "
"A letter just received by Waller from
Abraham Hall, London geologist of
note, asserts the value of the land is
inestimable. The majority of it, he
says bears traces of gold, silver copper
and iron, and also includes 10000 acres
of rubber forest, beside large quantities
of mahogany, ebony and rosewood

Crookedness

CHICAGO, July 2S-According to a
bill filed in the Circuit Court the Me-
chanics and Traders Savings, Loan and
Building Association has an alleged
shortage of $685., 900. The bill also charges

the officers and appoint temporary re-
ceiver to act as secretary and to inves-
tigate the affairs of the association for
the benefit of the stockholders and grant

Road Law Void

SAN FRANCISCO July 2S.-The su-
preme court has decide in case brought
from Alameda county that the Clark road
law is void. having been superseded by the
county government act. The question
hinged upon which of the two acts was
really approved by the governor, both hav-
ing been approved the same day. By
reference to the printed statutes it was
found that the Clark road law was printed
upon page 314 and the county government
bill, which repealed all acts" on road
matters conflicting with its provisions, was
printed on page ASP, and the conclusion is
that the Clark road law was passed prior
to the county government bill, which con-
tinues the supervision of road matters in
the board of supervisors.

SAN FRANCISCO, July 2S.-A change
of immense Importance to the manufac-
turing interests of the coast has been
made by the new tariff, if the under
standing now entertained is the correct
one It's Importance is suggested in
note of instruction given by Collector
Jackson to deputy collectors today in
the following communications:
"In view of the standard fixed by the
new tariff, of 90 per cent of fixed carbon
as the line of demarkation between an
thracite and bituminous COAL you will
exact deposit on all cargoes heretofore
passed as anthracite from Swansea"
Under the old tariff coal that exceeded
|SS per cent of fixed carbon was rated as
duty. Most Of the coal imported here
from Swansea ranged from SO to 80 per
cent, and so came in free. Under the
new tariff it will nearly all be rated as
bituminous, and will be charged duty
of 81 cents a ton. The instructions given
were for the purpose of securing de-
post equal to the duty before releas-
ing such coal. Immense quantities of
Swansea coal are annually imported
at this port for consumption on this
coast mostly for manufacturing pur-
poses The kind of coal with which it
comes most directly in competition is
the Pennsylvania anthracite. Whether
the duty is sufficient to cover the diff
ference in the cost of transportation
from Pennsylvania or not remains to
be seen. If it does not, the result, it is
said, will be simply to increase the cost
Of this kind of coal to the manufacturers
who use it.
TOURISTS CINCHED
NEW YORK, July 2S.-The first of the
big transatlantic passenger boats to ar
rive at this port since the Dingley bill
became a law was the Majestic, which
tied up at her dock today.
The new tariff act has materially re-
stricted the privileges of tourists in re-
gard to the quantity of wearing apparel
of foreign manufacture that they may
bring into the country, and these restric-
tons were not generally understood
on the other side of the ocean when
the Majestic sailed. In anticipation of
confusion and in order to obviate it as
much as possible, Surveyor of the Port
Mcguire went down the bay to meet
the steamer, and before the stop at quar-
antine had all the passengers assembled
on deck, where he informedIhem of the
changes in the tariff bill that would be
likely to affect them. This prepared the
passengers to make ready their declara-
tions before the steamer reached her
dock, where an extra force of fifty-five
inspectors had been detailed for duty.
Considering the circumstances, the pas
sengers were subjected to but little de-
| lay.
| More than $4,000 was collected by the
customs officials on the baggage of the
Majestics passengers.
