Fire Near Kratserville.

On Wednesday morning the barn
with all its contents, near kratzer-
vile, on the Martin Maurer farm
was burned to the ground, at about
) 30 a. M. Mr.. Maurer was up
early and started away with his
team, his wife turned out the cows
and every thing was alright and
in short time after the barn was
in flames, how the fire started is a
mystery. The only cause thus far
determined on, is that trampslodged
in the barn and by the use of
matches fired the barn as box of
matches was found only a short
distance from the barn, probably the
tramps were using matches in the
barn and the straw or hay was set
atire in this way, and was burning a
slow flame while Mr.. Maurer was
yet at home, butas farmers generally
have their feed all prepared for the
morning Mr.. Maurer did not go to
the upper floor of the barn and did
not discover the fire, this is suppos.
ell the cause, but the fact how the
fire originated is notknown. How.
ever it is a heavy loss to Mr.. Maur.
cr and we sympathize with him.

Washington, May 25.--In anticipation
% the early occupation Of the Philippine,
by the land and naval forces Of the Unit,
ed States. the treasury department has
already begun the formulating Of regula.
tons and scheme Of customs tariffs
which viii be collected by the military
authorities and turned into the treasury
Of the United States "as . military con,
tgibuti0n.'
That the president has authority to col
lect the Philippines revenues under exist,
ing conditions, Is not a matter Of doubt
II was several times done during the Iast
war with Mexico, and the authority os
the government in the premises was sus.
tanned by decisions OF the United States
supreme court The court, in a case
which grew out Of the capture and occu-
patton of San Francisco and all the up-
per part Of the state Of California by the
United States troops. held that the pres
ldent, under be constitution as com
mandeE-in-ehief Of the army and navy,
had right 10 exercise the beIIigerent
right Of a conqneror and to impose duties
on imports as n military contribution for
the support OF the army.
This was the view held by the court i'm
another case where 1t was also decided
the capture Of Tanpico. Mexico, by the
Emitted States forces, though sufficient to
cause It to be regarded by other nations
as part Of our territory did mot make il
10 fact part Of the United States under
our constitution and laws
1T remained" said the court, "a for.
eign country within the revenue laws Of
the United States"
The tariff rates now bsing prepared by
the treasury department will closely fol.
low the Spanish custom laws in force in
the Philippines. just what revenue they
produce is mot known, but the aasump-
tion Is that iElassnnch as the home gov.
eminent realized from them last year an
proximaiely 5000 900, the actual amount
collected was about $40. COO 200. The gov.
rEninent viii assume control Of the Teve.
hnes as soon ~ the principal seaports
are In our Possession, and viii continue
10 control them at least until congress
lakes specific action In the case, or until
peace has been declared between the two
