|, BY the action of tlie President yes
terday, the United States sends to the
European powers its fifth ambassador.
The President renominated Ethan Allen
Hitchcock, of Missouri, now minister to
Russia, to be ambassador at that
court.
AS in the case Of Great Britain. Ger
many, France and Italy, where the
American Government now has am
bassadors, the increase in the dignity
carries with it no increase in the salary.
The chang in the status Of the diplC-
.matic representative fin Russia was
brought about through the request of
the Russian government, and in accord
ance with the provisions of the diplo-
matte bill of four years ago. the Presi-
dent promptly designated Mr.. Hitch
cock to be a representative of the high
est known rank in the diplomatic field.
Some time ago the Russian govern
mens expressed It's intention of sending
Count Cassini to this country. The
count has for long years served his
government in a diplomatic capacity III
the Orient, where ne has been most
successful in looking after the interests
OF Russia in country where diplo-
1lidty VI lllt IIiDSt CHARACTER NdS
required This diplomat objected 70 ac-
cepting the vacant mission in Washing
ton, owing to the fact that il could not
be considered in the nature of d promo
tion TO leave ambaSsadorial dignitieS
and come to the United States as a
mere minister. The Russian govern
ment made this known to President Nc
Kinley, who took the step that would
result in Count Cassini's coming here.
1t is denied that there is any political
significance in this act, although efforts
have been made to construe it as such.
The friendly relations between Russia
and the United States have long con-
tinued but statesmen here in Washing
ton do not look upon this matter as an
indication that closer relations arc to
be established between the two coun-
tries. or that it is 10 ba construed as in
any way symbolical of an alliance be-
tween the United States and Jsussia
with respect to affairs IN the Orient
There are several Senators who would
be glad to believe that was contem-
plated. for they have long been OF the
opinion that one of the best friends of
the United States is the Car OF I'M
perial Russia. and that the interests
of this Republic can best be subserved
by linking its fortunes, so far as the
Eastern question is concerned, with
those of the Russian autocrat.

IT CANNOT DICTATE
bIr. Lindsay Denies This Right TO
the Kentucky Legislature.
He VIII Not Resign and Maintains
That No body But the Senate Can
Interfere With Him.

Senator Lindsay yesterday made his
reply to the resolution passed by the
General Assembly of Kentucky calling
upon him to resign his seat in the SEN
ate of the United States. Up to this
time Mr.. Lindsay has refused to discuss
the request for his resignation, on the
grounds that he had no official knowl-
edge of the act Of the Legislature, but
late Thursday night he received GER
titled copy of the resolution. Instead of
replying to the Legislature Mr.. Lind
say spoke to the Senate, and this is the
only reply he will make.
Mr.. Lindsay takes the same ground
that has been assumed by United
States Senator'S from the beginning.
He denies the right of a Legislature to
dictate to a Senator, and holds that his
seat in the Senate cannot be interfered
with by any body or set of men on
earth other than the Senate itself.
Whether rightly or wrongly, there is
no doubling the fact that this conclu-
sion was concurred in by the Senate,
for when Mr.. Lindsay had concluded he
was greeted with cries, soto voce, of
Good, good" and Democratic mem
bers congratulated him for the stand
he had taken.
AS the readers of The Times know,
this resolution called, upon Mr. Lindsay
to resign for the reason that he was
opposed to the free coinage of silver.
and that, therefore, he did not properly
represent the sentiments of the people
of his State.
"Couched,' Mr. Lindsay said at the
conclusion of the reading of the resolu-
ton. in the language disregardful of
the ordinary amenities of life, it is a
demand that l shall surrender my place
in order to create a vacancy and make
room here for some enc holding politi-
cal views in harmony with the authors
and supporters of the resolution. l pro-

consolidation this company pays per
cent on gross earnings and IL per cent
on the real estate.
In reply 10 questions by Mr. 0dell Mr..
Dunlop said it was true that on a cap
italiZation of $500.000 the company had
paid tax of. $25. 900, and on me pres
ent capitalization of ST., ,QQo, 600 the COM
pany paid s4e.00b. but he explained that
the company had expended millions of
dollars in improvements, the money
for which was raised by the stockhold-
ers. He added that now the company
paid per cent on the gross earnings
and the j Y pen cents on the real estate.
Mr.. Odeli said that as he understood
il the company paid $3.50 per 81 900,
based on the market value OF the stock
Mr.. Dunlop interposed that the COM
pany PAID an additional tax for keep
ing the streets In repair, and the COM
pany suffers a discount by, the sale OF
tickets, which is loss of $l30,000 a
year
Mr.. Odell asked him if some OF these
tickets were never.returned to the COM
pany. Mr.. Dunlop replied that in
thirty-fiYe years the amount of tickets
never used was about $4,000
Judge King asked: what could your
property be sold for? Would it bring
Sl,ObG0 000?
Il don't think it would replied Mr..
Dunlop. He added that while the COM
pany does not pay as much tax on real
estate as the private property holder,
the company, taking all things togeth-
er, pays more, and asked how would
the Government derive any revenue
from its streets.
Mr. Nathaniel Wilson. in behalf of
the Metropolitan Company. said that
the company pays tax of a per
cent on the gross earnings.
Mr. King of Utah said that under
such an assessment the assessor was
clearly violating the law
Mr. Wilsonaexplained that the assess
ment was made in a manner which af-
forded the assessor the best opportun-
ity of fixing valuation. The reason
why the Traction Company is not as
sessed like the Metropolitan is because
the law has been changed, and Con-
gress has made an additional require
ment as To a tax on real estate. The
law does not apply to all companies
alike. and now that Congress has the
matter in hand. il is right that a law
should be enacted which will be just
and equitable to all railroad companies
and the Government.
Mr.. Wilson will. in a day or so, file

MIR, WHITE CONCLUDES
His Parting Words Against Ha-
waiian Annexation.
He CriIiciseS President Dole for
Comilg to Washington at
This Time.


The executive Session of the senate yes
terday Afternoon was consumed entirely
by Mr.. Whit eofGC aIiforn nia, who concluded
his speech IN opposition TO the annexation
of the Haw aiian Islands. There were no
interruptions OF monaent, and at the con
clusion of the Sena tors remarks the Sen
ate adiournA4 With the understanding that
Senator Teller would next take the floor.
Nj. White began by making some addi-
tional points against the avails blity of
Hawaii for defensive purposes. The Sen
ator decIar. ii that Is soon as Hawaii was
acquired 1T would he cotendcd that this
Government 5 domains SHOULD be extended
TO other isl lands, and we would finally
embark upol the foreign acquisition busi-
ness, involving an outlay of hundreds OF
millions OF dollars.
Mr.. Wpit read from a recent consular
report to show that the coffee business
was, at best, problenatical, and that
even there. laborers receive only $15
month, withtJt board.
In the co ,7se OF mis- argument he also
showed that the japanese have the same
joyed by other foreigners, and that while
contract laborerS of all kind are excluded
still there is no obs acle to the entry of
the ordinary Japanese Iaborer who com
plies with the general immigration laws;
that if annexation were brought about
oriental labor would still dominate the
situation in Hawaii.
Mr.. White said that if there ever was
any necessity of holding anything in
Hawaii, thai AmeTica's possession a L Pearl
IIarbor was enough. TIE Senator in
sisted that the Dole government was a
fraud. and nat ii being universally con
ceded that the Hawaiian natives were well
educated and would be citizens of this
in sase of annex alton, that they
should be co lsulted.
Mr.. White read from Judge Cooley and
several other writer's in support of his vews
and declared again that the entire power
behind the throne was the sugar combina-
ton of Ha Eaii, whose personal interests
had always been consulted regardless of
the effect upon the public.
Mr.. White criticised the action OF Presi-
dent Dole in intruding upon Washington at
such time. ami desired to know what
would have been thought of the taste of
the Prince II Wales had he come here at
the time that thetreaty of arbitration was
under consideration for the purpose of in
oar action.

testimony of DIR. Hon, n chief surgeon
of the Third army corps, stationed at
Camp Thomas. the War Investigating
Commission gave the remainder of the
day TO the reading OF papers submitted
by Secretary Alger with his statement
concerning the conduct Of the war.
The documents reveal the fact that
General Miles recommended the occu-
patton OF the Isle OF Pines about the
time OF the battle Of Santiago. and that
Secretary Algcr disnpproyed the sug-
gestion. II also appears that General
Miles recommended that some point
between Santiago and Porto Rico be
taken previous to the beginning Of
either campaign. The correspondence
also developed the fact that there was
an apparent conflict of authority be-
tween General Miles and General
Shafter Mt Tampa before the Santiago
campaign was innugurated.
1t also shows that orders were issued
by the secretary OF war that In the
event that General Shafter should be
disabled by sickness or other cause, the

and upon the next In command in case
OF the disability OF both Shafter and

way to Palestine.
Alexandria, Egypt, Oct. 1.-THE
Alexandria police have arrested nine
Italian anarchists since last night
and have thereby frustrated plot
against Emperor William, now on his
way to the Holy Land, to be preseDs
at the conservation of the Church Of
the Savior OF Jerusalem.
The first to be arrested Is cafe
keeper, n well-known anarchist, In
whose house the police discovered two
wirc-wound bombs of great strength,
full of bullets. This arrest was made
In consequence of the notification CIV
en- by the Italian consul general Mt
Cairo. that two anarchists had left
Cairo for Port Said.
The police investigation showed that
the arrested cafe keeper had bribed
the steward of Il steamer sailing to-
day from Alexandria to Port Said
and Syria to take ON board n box of
bombs. Apparently the anarchists
originally intended to use the bombs
at the Palais Abidin, mt Cairo, while
Emperor William and the Khediye
were there.
When the Kaiser decided not to
visit Egypt the anarchists changed
their plans and decided to attack
him In Palestine.
The liveliest satisfaction is felt over
the captures. and the German consul.
ate has expressed Its wnrmest thanks
The two Cairo anarchists, who left
Port Said, have not been arrested.
