morning, and the rain came down in
streams from the holes in it's roof of
corrugated iron. The Panama railroad
seems TO own the town. It's tracks run
through the main street, and outside,
OF them, at the east of the city, it is
almost impossible to go to any place,
without travelling over the rustine and
rottlng debris of cars, dredges and
other machines which were brought
mere at cost of millions and found to
pe worthless, or were soon allowed to
become so. There is a part of the town
known as the French quarter This is
on neck of land which was built ont
TO form breakwater at the eastern
mouth Of the canal. The most expen-
sive of houses were erected here tha
wood being brought from the United
otates Ferdinand de Lesseps had one
OF the houses, which cost, it is said.
about 100000, and his son another AL
most equally expensive. Soon after I
landed L hired carriage of a highway
ROPER IN the shape of a Jamaica
coachman, and drove out to see these
houses. They have never been occu-
pled but for very short periods, and
they are now dilapidated. The road
to them is through a beautiful grove
OF palms. and the settlement itself is
ABOUT as near paradise in it's beautiful
green as any place upon this earth.

Some Things About Population.
The people here are one of the queer
mixtures that you sometimes find on
the outposts of civilization, where for
some reason or other money Is to be
made. The wharf at which we landed
made me think of the docks of New
Orleans. Nine-tenths of the people on
1t were mulattoes or negroes, and most
OF them spoke English with a cocknev
accent. The other tenth were Span-
1ards, who looked like Creoles The ne
groes were from the English Island of
Jamaica. They have come here to work
on the canal, and seem to be about the
only people who can stand the MAS
matte climate 1 found a lot of such
people at a market stand on the beach
and photographed one of them as she
was coming toward me with a bunch of
bananas on her head Then there are
lot of Chinese here. They run ali
sorts OF stores, act as money changers
and do, am told, the largest part Of
the mercantile business of the Isthmus.

Bismarck weekly tribune. [volume] (Bismarck, Dakota [N.D.]) 1884-1943, 1898-07-01

UpoS the threshold of it's administra-
ton a temporary difficulty has arisen in
the path of the new war revenue law.
In spite of the fact that the bureau of
engraving and printing is rushing the
work of getting out the stamps with all
possible speed, it will be utterly impos-
sible to have them prepared and dis
tributed within the time fixed by the
law. It is believed by the treasury
officials that disturbing complications
will result from the endeavor to meet
the situation by the first of July, and
their point of view was made clear by the
secretary of the treasury in a commun-
ication sent by him to congress on
Tuesday. In this document the secre-
tary recommended that the time fixed for
the sections of the war revenue act re-
lating to adhesive stamps to go into
effect be extended from July l to July Is.
and also that the rate of discount on
purchases Of 500 worth or more be in
creased too per cent. The latter sugges.
tion was made owing to the belief Of the
treasury officials that the l per cent.
commission allowed for the sale of the
stamps is inadequate to induce mer-
chants and other dealers to purchase the
stamps in quantities required for resale,
and as purchases by such persons fur
nish n Of the most important modes
of distribution, there is, it will be seen,
a prospect of that process being clogged.
The treasury officials recall the expert
ence had at the time of the last war
when a discount of S per cent. was al.
10 wed tc dealers. Under the operation
of this provision the stamps were dis,
posed of in large quantities without
difficulty or friction, being kept on sale
in business places every where through,
out the country. Secretary Gage
thinks that the same result can be at.
tanned at present at a smaller rate oil
dis count, though he regards that pro
vided in the law IS entirely insufficient
so he has fixed upon a rate midway be-
tween that established by the new law
a nd that allowed at the time of the
civil war.
