WAR TAX Will STAY.
Mr.. Nelson Dingley Has Spoken on
the Subject

Washington, Nov 15.-The Washing
ton Post states that the war tax viii
not be abolished at the coming short
session of congress and that there will
be no revision of the tariff whatever. 1t
bases this announcement upon the
positive statement made by Chairman
Dingley, of the ways and means COM
nittee, who, in an interview, says:
THE government will need for some
time all the revenue produced by the
war taxes. During the month Of Oc-
tober the war expenditures exceeded
the-war revenue by some $14, 600, 900 and
this month they will be s10,00O,000 in
excess. This being the case there will
be no changes at least this fiscal year.
The war revenue act will continue in
force and unchanged except perhaps in
a few minor administrative features for
at least a year longer.
1T is hardly necessary to add con-
tinued Mr.. Dingley, that there will be
no revision of the tariff, although 1
have seen some statements to the effect
that such a revision is contemplated.
THE session is limited to three
MONTHS he said, "and that short period

THE NEW MAINE"
Drawing

Dingley, ito know what will arise be
tween December 4 and the fourth of
next March, but so far as the present
outlook can form a basis for judgment
I should say that no extra session will
be necessary or desirable, unless some
new question should arise. In the first
place, we shall not know until the treaty
of peace has been ratified what new
possessions we are to have and what
legislation is necessary for them and
even then we will be in no position to
act fntelligently. I think that the mill
tary administration ought to be con-
tinued for at least a year longer. Mil
itary administration means the main
tenance of order, the establishment of
sanitary regulations, the giving Of as
sistance to those who may need it. 1t
will bring order out of chaos and afford
US time to determine the wisest legisla-
ton Time always enlightens, and GER
tainly when congress meets at it's reg
ular session, in December of next year,
we will be much better equipped to con-
slider the proper method of dealing with
our new possessions"
For my part" added Mr.. Dingley, "I
hope that the territory to be added will
be no larger than is absolutely neces-
sary. I realize that in some cases it
may. be easier to hold than it will be to
let go, but at the same time hope that
the treaty, when it is presented to the
senate will provide for the acquisition
of a minimum amount of territory"

Potter Palmer to Pay $4,000 for
Eighty Years Use of Chicago Real
Estafa

Chicago, Nov. 15.-Wabash avenue be-
tween Monroe and Adams streets will
soon have a fine new business building
according to a lease just signed between
the Catholic bishop of Chicago and Pot
ter Palmer. This lease, negotiated by
Cremin & Brennan, covers the south half,
except the south twenty-five feet, of
lot 4, block 3, fractional section Is addi-
ton, and the south half of the north
half of the same lot, being 80 by ia
feet, east front, on Wabash avenue, 100
feet south of Monroe street.
This property is the rear of the State
street part of the Palmer House. and is
now, in the upper portion of the seven
story building, part of the famous hotel.
Mr.. Palmer holds at present a, lease on
the ground which does not expire until
DeVember 1, 1918, yet he was so anxious
to retain control of the ground that he
made another lease, running eighty
years after the termination of the pres
ent one, until December 1, 1898, or one
hundred years from next December.
The contract provides for a gross
ground rental of $40, 900 for the eighty
year period, which is at the rate of S1O,-
500 per year, a considerable advance
over the rate at which the present
lease runs. The figure quoted, on a
per cent basis, represents q ground val
uation of $210, 900, or Sc, 900 per front foot.
Inside property in the same block was
valued by the tax commission of 1896
at $1,000 per front foot, so that the
terms of the lease indicate considerable
enhancement in value.

TOPEKAN IN CHARGE.

Captain George c. Sperry, for years a
resident railway man of Topeka, but
now superintendent of telegraphs for
the Mexican Central, has been awarded
the portfolio Of mosquito commissioner.
The railroad company is satisfied that
the mosquito can be exterminated and
they will engage extensively in the new
experiment
A bureau Of industry will be formed
similar to the plan operated by the
Rock Island road in its efforts to bring
rain in western Kansas.
Experiments in different parts of the
United States, and in New Jersey in
particular, have demonstrated the fact
that the determination of the mosquito
can be accomplished.
The manner in which Mr.. Sperry will
proceed, it is believed will be primitive
and inexpensive but effectuaI.
scientific investigation has disclosed
the fact that a few grains Of permanga-
nate OF potash will destroy all the en-
DIyO mosquitoes In a very large area of
mosquito swamp. At two centS<an acre
all the mosquitoes can be killed off for a
space of 30 days, and as the breeding
time is two months, four cents will as
sure protection for the entire year. This
places it within the possibility of a pro
vince, and certainly a city, to entirely
rid itself Of a great nuisance.

" local in their habits, and not migra-

Hence, to exterminate the breed In a
certain locality would rid that locality
of the pest for that season at least, and
the method of determination is SO in

Secretary of State Bush was surprised
yesterday afternoon when he received
a notice stating that there was pack
age at the pOstOffice for him, weighing
a little matter of q pounds, and on
which there was postage due to the
amount of $3.50. Secretary Bush sent
down to discover what the package
might be before. he received it and
agreed to pay the extra postage-in fact
he suspected that it might be a post
election joke of some kind, and he
didn't want to bite at so expensive
joke. The messenger came back and
reported that it was the soldier vote
from the Twenty-first Kansas as it was
labeled Official business. Abstract of
the vote of citizens of Kansas now in

1t seems that the parties who had
counted the votes sealed them up with
