A BITTER FIGHT
To Compel Express Companies to Pay
War Taxes


ST. LOUIS, Nov. 3O.-William r. Cor
wine of the Merchants association OF New
York, who is in the city attending the Mer-
chants Anti-Scalping conference, in an in
terview, tells of the crusade being made in
New York to compel the express companies
to pay the war stamp tax imposed by the
present revenue laws.
"1n addition to the taking of the question
into the courts Mr.. Corwine said. "the
association proposes to introduce bill in
the legislature this winter-and to fight it
to tinish-to place the express companies
under the control of the railroad commits
sion of New York state and regulate their
charges. This fight will be very bitter one.
The Merchants association proposes to OBJ
tain the cooperation of every manufacturer
and every merchant in the state of New
York, and through them to appeal to the
members of the senate and assembly through
their respective districts to support this
movement"
Efforts are being made to organize similar
movements in other states.
Mr.. Corwine says that project is being
pushed rapidly for the organization in the
large cities of the country of package COM
panes, so called, to virtually take the place
of the express companies This is being
done, he says, not for the purpose of max
ing money, but to save it for merchants and
others all over the country, who are paying
excessive express charges.
1t is the purpose of these package compan-
les to accept packages for shipment. These
will be packed in large cases and sent to
their destination by fast freight at about the
same time made by express companies and
at about half the cost.

THE THREAD COMBINE
All the Stock Has Already Been
Sold

NEW YORK, Nov. 20-The promoters
of the American Thread company announced
today that subscriptions would be opened
on Thursday to the capital stock and first
mortgage bonds of the company. 1t is stated
that this will be mere formality, inasmuch
as every share of the common stock of the
so-called trust has been sold at par and the
entire stock will be over-subscribed several
times.
The issue will be made simultaneously in
this country, Great Britain and Canada.
The American Thread company was incor-
porated eight months ago under the laws of
the state of New Jersey. 1t has capital of
SO, ,OOO, 900 preferred and S8,O0OOOO common

OFFICIAL NOTICE
Of Conclusion Of Negotiations With
Spain


WASHINGTON, Nov. 29.-The govern
ment has been officially advised of the ter
of the Spanish peace negotiations
with Spain. A cablegram to this effect which
has been received from Chairman Day was
read at today's Cabinet meeting by the Sec
rotary of State. BY the terms of the treaty,
which will be signed during the present
week, Spain surrenders to the United States
her sovereignty in the Philippine Islands and
Guam island, one Of the Ladrone group. In
lieu of all claim to indemnity the United
States will pay Spain the sum of SEC, 200, 900
in gold or it's equivalent. Before returning
to the United States our Paris commissioners
will secure from the Spanish representatives
if possible proposition for the sale to the
United States of strong island, one of the
Caroline group, some distance east and south
of Luzon, for cable station. Should Spain,
however, decline to sell the island for rea-
sonable sum the matter will be dropped, for
the present at least. The possible cession of
this island is not involved in the pending
treaty and no pressure will be brought to
bear to induce Spain to part with it.
A large part of the time of today's Cabinet
meeting was taken up in the discussion of the

EXPULSION OF ALIENS
Brings a Threat of Reprisal From
Austria

VIENNA, Nov 29.-In the reichsrath to-
day the premier and minister of the interior,
Count Thun Hohenstein, replying to an in
terpellation on the subject of the expulsion
of Austrians from Prussia, said that while
there was undeniable severity in the action
of the Prilssian authorities, it could not be
described as fragrant violation of the prin-
ciples of international law. Nevertheless,
he added, the foreign office had strongly
protested against the steps taken by the
Prussian officials, and the assurances of the
Berlin cabinet warranted the hope that
greater consideration will be shown to Aus
trians, "But," said the premier in concu-
sion, "should this expectation be not fulfilled
the government will not hesitate to ener-
getically protect the rights of Austrians and
if necessary adopt retailiatory measures"

new customs tariff which is to be put into
operation in all parts of Cuba as soon as
the United States takes formal possession.
The apprehension which manifested itself
some time ago over the attitude of Aguinaldo
and the Philippine insurgents has not en-
tirely disappeared, though the adminissra-
tion believes they will accept the situation
without conflict with the United States.
The matter was discussed at length today
and some of the views expressed indicated a
possibility that the insurgents may yet have
to be dealt with. Meanwhile, however, the
president expects serious trouble with
Aguinaldo will be avoided, but at the same
time has guarded against an outbreak by
taking precautionary measures.
The American force already in occupancy
of part of the Philippines is regarded as al
together adequate to cope with any emerg-
ency that may arise. The future government
of the islands came up incidentally and Sec
retary Alger made some suggestions as to de-
tails of military government for the islands.

The Vicente Estate

SAN FRANCISCO, Nov. 29.-Next Tues
day cross petition for the distribution OF
the. setate of the late Jose Vicente de La
veaga, filed by Dolores Apolonia de Reverb
de Laveaga, will be argued before Judge
Coffey. Dolores Apolonia de Reverb de La
veaga claims to be the daughter of Jose
Maria de Laveaga and Jesus Bustillo.
Whether they wera married or not she is un-
able to state, but as Jose Maria de Laveaga
was brother of Jose Vicente de Laveaga
she claims to be an heir at law of the latter.
In consequence she asks that one-fourth of
the estate of Jose Vicente, which remains
undisposed of by will, valued at $S4l 900 be
distributed to her.

ment of the rights Of sealing is another
factor which the Canadians consider quite
as important as the value OF the present
fleet. Questions relating to the great lakes
were taken up by special commission this
afternoon. These included controversies
over the number of warships which are to be
maintained and built on the lakes, fishing
rights, navigation and wrecking privileges
and various questions arising out of the
treaty of 1917
In view of report current in London
that the Bering sea question had been final
ly settled, it was stated in an authoritative
quarter today that such settlement had not
been reported. The status is about the same
as it was week ago, except that large
amount OF expert testimony has been taken,
the two sides waiting to shape the utmost
concessions which each will grant.

German Suspicion

BERLIN, Nov. 29.--The Cologne Ga
zette says:
international envy has prevented Eu-
rope from opposing the excessive demands
OF the United States upon Spain. Although
they might have profited richly by the stu
alton, the powers feared to make bitter
enemy of America, with the consequent
closing of her markets if they opposed the
annexation of the Philippines.
''It is believed that Great Britain will get
Chusan as compensation, and both England

Sagasta Is Satisfied

MADRID, Nov. 29.-Sagasta showed
much emotion on learning that the Spanish
commission in Paris had formally agreed to
sign the treaty of peace, but he assured his
friends that he was convinced he had adopt
ed the best course in the interest of the coun-
try and the monarchy, adding that the news
had lifted great weight from the minds OF
the people.
The Bank of Spain has made fresh ad-
vance to the government of 100000 pes
etas to cover the expenses of repatriating
the Spanish troops in the Philippines and the
Antilles. The Republican papers violently
attack both the government and the Amer
leans.
