EQUALS THE PHILIPPINES.

A great deal has been said recently
about the heavy, variegated, and multi
tudinous tax system in the Philippines.
But according 10 a report on the Congo
Independent State, just issued by the
British Foreign Office, that division of
the Dark Continent makes a pretty good
second to the Philippines in the matter
of tax squeezing. 1t is common saying
that nothing is free in the Independent
State except fevers. and the report in
question would seem to prove 1t.
The tax system Is drag-net that
scoops money in every mesh. A new
settler in the country, having travelled
by rail as far as the railway line is open,
requires porters, but before he can en-
gage any he must pay for a license.
When provided with that he forms his
caravan, and every load in it pays it's
special tax. For the navigation of the
upper river beyond Stanley Pool he needs
a steamer, on which another impost is
levied. This vessel cannot go more than
a day without renewing it's fuel. There
is an abundance of it in the forests, and
1t benefits the timber to remove the dead
wood. A license to take 1t, however, has
to be paid for Not being able always TO
land directly from the steamer, the set
tier needs a rowing-boat, and is taxed
for that as well. Ashore again, he finds
himself wanting a house. He must build,
but he has to lease his plot from the
State and nav according TO measurement,
For building timber is required. He has
TO cut 1t himself, but is taxed all the
same at so much a log. Aware Of there
being no skilled workmen in the place,
he has taken few up with him from
the coast. For leave to make use of them
in State territory, he is taxed according
to their number, and If he employ any Of
the aborigines to assist in the work, there
is a payment due on them also. In re-
spect of the finished house, tax Is levied
proportionate 20 the surface IL covers,
although he has paid already for the en-
tire plot. A necessary adjunct to tro-
pical house is a detached kitchen. That
ca rles another tax. The settler must
pay again on a hut for his domestic SER
wants, and on all his shelters for his live
stock OF every description.
Truly the Congo land boomers and i'm
migration promoters have fearful odds
TO work against.

EX-PROFEssOR UNDER ARREST.
Astounding Vandalism at Lafayette
Burning OF Pnrdee Hall.

EASToN, PA, June 24-George Herbert

adjunct-professor of moral philosophy at
Lafayette College, is under arrest here

chief The police charge Stevens with
various acts OF vandalism about the col

valuable vihes the tarring OF the chapel,

About a year ago, Stevens gained some
notoriety by his attack on DIR. Warfield,
president of the college. stevens refused

and was dismissed. He appealed 10 the
trustees, and that body sustained the ac-
ton Of the president. Stevens Is Prince

Late this afternoon, Stevens broke
down. and confessed to everything
charged against him. He also revealed
plans he had laid to burn all the college
buildings except the gymnasium. Ste
venss sole idea, he said, was to avenge
himself on DR.. Warheld for the loss OF
his position.
The Professor declares ne brooded so
much over the loss Of his position That
his mind became unbalanced. and little by
little he yielded to the awful desire to
destroy in order to gain revenge.
He carefully conceived plans TO destroy
Pardee Hall, the pride OF Lafayette. Ac-
cordingly. on the night of December 18th,
he entered Pardee Hall with a key he had
not turned over when he left the college.
He went to the department Of biology and
piled rugs. mats, carpets, and every porta-
BILE and infammable article he could lay
his hands on i'm a heap. Then he ran a
gas-burne- under the inhammable collee-
ton, turned on the gas, and applied

ton and calmly watched the work OF de-
struction. AT various other times later
on. he returned to Easton, and on each
occa sion committed acts Of vandalism
Stevens was taken TO Jail this evening.

An Interesting Crop Case.

BERRYVILLE, VA, June 24-(Special)
A case involving some nice questions as
TO the ownership of the growing crops
on land when sold has lately come up in
this county. In November last the land
of A. S. Lippitt was put up az public sale
by Blackburn Smith, substituted trustee.
to satisfy a lien resting thereon, and
George G.. Ricamore purchased the land.
At the time OF the sale eighty acres Of
the land had been seeded in wheat and
rye by Messrs. Grubbs and Mcdaniel,
who had leased the land from the former
owner. Last week. when the tenants
went TO cut the crop, they were met by
an Injunction granted by the Judge of the
Circuit Court at the instance of Ricamore,
restraining them from interfering with
the crop growing on the land. Ricamore
claims that when he bought the land he
bought, also, all crops growing thereon
as no reservation of the crops was made
There are several similar cases in the
county, and the determination Of the
questions involved is anxiously awaited.

GERMAN INTERFERENCE.
Americans Prevented from Building
Railroad I'm China.
Wash!ngton Star, I'd

United States Consul Fowler, at Chez
foo. has informed the State Department
of the action of the Chinese Government
on the petition of DIR. Yungwing for per-
mission TO construct railroad from
Tientsin TO Shanghai through the whole
length of the province of Shantung. 1t
appears that the petition was granted by
the Emperor. but was subsequently re-
considered and the permission withdrawn
upon representations made by the German
Minister that his government had the sole
right To all commercial enterprises in
Shantung. DR.. Yungwing has had long
and honorable career In New England,
and Is understood to represent an Ameri-
can syndicate in the proposed railroad en-
terprise in China.
According TO one Of the Chinese papers,
DR.. Iungwing proposed that he should
obtain the aid of American capitalists
and engineers to carry out the UNDER
taking, and the German Minister said
that Germany had obtained the sole right
to invest capital and supply engineers for
railroad construction i'm every part OF
the province of Shantung. and strenuuosly
opposed the scheme proposed by DR..
Iungwing. The latter, therefore, altered
his scheme so as to provide that the pro-
posed railway should not clash with the
interests of the line which the Germans
say they are going to build from Kyao-
chau to Ichow, with which alteration the
German Minister professed himself salts
fed,

IL is sometimes said the devil IL not 81

! true or not we do not know, nor do W
crave the opportunity to find out. Blu
we are satisfied that Blanco and Linare
are not quite the savage creatures the!

sensational newspapers.
We took leave several days ago to doub

Habana. Now, we learn that that IL moi
his position at all. His orders are thai
no such boat will be permitted to com,
within six miles OF MORO Castle-a very
different thing, indeed. from the other
story. He wishes to make sure that nc
spying shall be done by flag-of-truce
men, and hence asserts the right TO desig-
nate the places where such Gags shall

So, too. General IAnares is entitled Ia
have II said in his behalf that he has
removed Hobson and his companions
from MORO Castle to a place OF compa-
rative safety. Sampson may now bonn
bard that castle to his hearts delight,
without fear of endangering the lives
OF the Merrimac's men.
This action is all the more creditable
to Lnares, because. as we know. he
could have quoted presidents about put
ting prisoners under the fire of their own
men, which would have embarrassed our
government.
OF course, some will say the Spaniards,
In taking care of Hobson, are looking out
for the safety Of their own skins. know
ing full well that they are destined to be-
come prisoners in our hands. 1t may be
that they are actuated by that fear; but
we do not know It to be So and we
prefer to credit them with good pur-
pose. Cervera's handsome conduct in
notifying Sampson OF Hobson's safety
warrants us in saying that much for
our enemies at Santiago.
If the Spaniards wish to find favor In
the eyes of the world and do that which
will secure from us for them the best
possible terms of peace. they will con-
duct this war upon the highest possible
plane Of decency and humanity.
We wish the charge against them Of
mutilating the bodies of several Of our
men who were killed near Guantanamo
could be disposed Of as satisfactorily as
have been the stories with respect to the
fag-of-truce business and keeping Hob
son under fire in MORO. But the state

was made in an official dispatch from

THE NEW BONDS.

The Washington correspondents have II
from Secretary Gage that he will enquire
very closely as to the bona-fide character
of subscriptions forwarded for alleged
customers by bankers and brokers.
1t seems that in some of our great
cities bankers and brokers have gotten
the signatures of their clerks and SER
wants and others each for a 500 bond
and have sent to the Treasury Depart
ment their own check for the lump sum.
Furthermore, 1t is believed that in some
instances the names of purely fictitious
persons have been signed to the subscrip-
tion-blanks. These schemes are devised
TO enable their promoters to have awarded
10 them bonds in amounts they could not
otherwise hope to secure. But Secretary
Gage announces positively that 1t is his
fixed purpose TO award the new bonds
so as TO conform as closely as possible
10 the purpose of Congress, which is that
this loan shall be distributed among the
masses.
The subscriptions already in amount to
about $l75, 100000, not including any offers
made by great syndicates. One of these
syneicates wishes 10 take $500 100000, and
another wishes 10 take sl0occ0.00o. Both
are willing TO pay premiums. we believe,
whereas the private persons TO whom the
binds are likely to go in sums Of 500
and less, will have TO pay par only.

The Atlanta police made a remarkable
arrest a few days ago. The victim OF
their vigilance was a pretty girl. attired
in mans clothing, and, what is more in
teresting still, her garments were a full
suit of United States "regimentals."
The prisoner was much disgruntled at
her capture, and confessed that she had
muster. Il at first thought of Joining
the order of the Red Cross" said she,
but that would have been too tame. l
wanted to be where the fight was going
on in real earnest, and there was no way
to do so except to become soldier"
The girl explained that she paid $3.50 for
her uniform, and that she had purchased
it from a woman who procured it from
discharged soldier. The fair would-bo
warrior had only had the clothes a few
hours, and when apprehended was ex-
perimenting to see If she could masque-
rade as a trooper" without detection.
She explained 1t this way: you see If
l could have walked about the streets,
and If everybody believed 1 was sure
enough soldier, then l would have felt
a little more bold about going to the
recruiting office tomorrow. But some
body had to get smart and go tell that
policeman"
1t seems cruel that the aspirations of
this fair patriot should be thus crushed
and pushed aside, and at a time, too,
when young ladies are plentiful. and when
a few could so easily be spared. But
after all, she might have developed into
a second Joan of Arc, and that would
have obscured the light Of some ambitious
general, and caused trouble and jealousy
and bitter feelings all around. And,
moreover, who knows but what there are
mice in Cuba and the Philippines?
