CUTS OFF THEIR HEADS.
This Is How the Sultan of Morocco
Treats Tax Dodgers.

Treats Tax Dodgers.
From the Boston Herald.
The Sultan of Morocco is going to pre-
ment of their taxes, even if in doing it he
has to behaed every tax dodger in the
country
In his majesty's domain tax lodging by
the rich is well nigh universal, and we'll
Uniformed students and travellers, knowing
government is, do not doubt that much
of it is justifable. But the Sultan looks
at the matter in a different light. He
declares that il is criminal and, moreover,
that he has hit upon a punishment to fit
the crime.
Frank E. Jackson, globe trotter of
thirty years experience, has recently made
a tour of North Africa, including the ac-
cessible parts of Morocco, and in per
sonal letter to Frank L. Dingley of Lewis
ton, Me-, a brother of the well known rep
resentative of that name, he gives gra-
phic account of the Sultan's bloody and
desperate method of procedure.
While in Tangier, Mr.. jackson learned
that the Sultan, at the head Of large
body of troops, was marching through
the country collecting taxes, and that at
Laroiche he had decapitated a large num-
Der of tax dodgers, and spiked their heads
above the city gates, to serve as a warn
ing to others who might be disposed to pay
their dues promptly.
A company of five was formed" writes
Mr.. Jackson ito visit Laroiche and see If
this CHASTITY report was true. The party
consisted of an Englishman, who spoke
Arabic; a German and three Americans.

GERMANY'S FRIENDLY ROLE.

Fears Expressed in Some Quarters
That Retaliation May Bring About
Tariff War-High German OH
Gals Say Published Reports Arc
Lamentably IneXact Relieved
William Suggested Knaak's Ac-
qHittal.
Copyright. 1898. by the Associated Press.
Berlin. Dec. 24.-One of the leading sub
jects discussed throughout the week by
the newspapers here was the present and
future relations between Germany and
the United States, more particularly the
commercial side of the question.
The correspondent here of the Assoeiat-
ed Press has interviewed a high German
official who has exceptional sources Of
information. He said:
The reports current in the press of both
countries on this subject are lamentably
inexact. In Washington they seemed TO
have jumped at the conclusion that Ger
many is on the point of legislating spe-
officially against American agricultural
products. The fact is that there is no
such intention here, at least not in gov
eminent circles
On the contrary, Mr.. White The United
States ambassador at Berlin, has received
conditional assurances that the integral
feature of the bill win be the abolition of
the repeated local inspections of American
meats where the Americans have COM
planned.
A Tariff War Feared.
The officials of che United States en-
bassy generally express the opinion that
the German government sincerely tries to
improve its relations with the United
States, and sees indications pointing to
successful issue of those efforts, though
the bills simultaneously introduced in the
House of Representatives and in the SEN
ate at Washington foreshadowing retalia-
ton, have been received with a great show
of indignation by the government and
government press, while the Liberal, and
especially the commercial press, have
unanimously expressed fears that the leg
islative action of both sides will culmi-
nate in a regular tariff war.
knaak's Reference to william,
The result of the trial of Frank Knaak
Of New York, who was acquitted of the
charge of referring to Emperor William
as a "blockhead," on the ground that he
was in no position to realize his offense,
came as a great surprise even to counsel
for the defense, as the testimony was
precisely similar 10 that of the majority
of such cases, which have ended in con-
victions. The presiding judge, Herr Den
so, is considered to be very severe and
learned, and there is the best authority
for saying that the acqqittal and unusual
leniency shown Mr.. Knaak was due to a
hint from Emperor William that his ac-

THE wEALTHIEsr AUSTRALIAN.
Death of the squatter Who Lived to
Finance His Government.
From the London Chronicle.

From the London Chronicle
James Tyson is dead-the holder Of vast
territorial rights, possessor Of countless
herds and fiocks, the meanest man proba-
bly, that the present century has known,
the stock target for the gibes of the small
fry OF the press. A man who won nobody's
love- excited the envy of only the sordid
few, and yet one of whom no one can
truthfully speak IN. For to be mean is
in one so scrupulous as was James Ty-
son, so exact and exacting, so rigid1y hon
est and truthful-to be the incarnation of
simple justice. He gave nothing. and took
nothing without paying for it his estimate
of its precise value; he ate, drank, and
wore only what bare necessity required,
and he required from those in his employ
the same strict abstinence, and as far as
possible exactitude IN the business Of life!
More than fifty years ago Tyson emigrat
ed TO Australia, worked as a station hapd
for $50 per year, but saved practically,
every penny, put his savings as they ac-
crued into sheep or cattle, and thus form
ed the nucleus of his immense fiocks. lie
attributed his successful acquisition OF
wealth 10 his own strict habits Of seH-de-
NAL. He never smoked. drank nothing
stronger than tea, eschewed even the min
or luxuries OF the table. never kissed
girl, and never visited q theater or other
house OF entertainment. Arriving uncx-
pectedly at his mead station, FELTON,, on the
Darling Dows, he became aware of the
presence of a few tins of jam which his
manager and staff had dared 20 indulge
in. Flash tucker" Tyson 'disdanfuhy
termed It, and promptly dismissed all
hands for perperating such wasteful ex-
traVagance

An ATTEMPT At MURDER
Sullivan's Bouse Again Blown
Up With Dynamite.
THE FAMILY ALL ESCAPED
The Third Attempt at a Most Cowardly
assassination Three Little Chill
dren Came Near Being Vic
Tins OF the Brute.

Another attempt has been made to
murder Daniel p. Sullivan. his wife
n three children. For the third time
within the past two years Mr.. sulli-
vans house in Centerville has with
stood an attempt at complete annihila-
ton by means Of dynamite. Three
times Mr.. Sullivan and family have
escaped death at the hands Of one
or more midnight assassins. A little
more than two years ago an attempt
was made to blow up the residence
while the inmates were asleep. Last
spring another attempt was made and
yesterday morning long after the ex-
element OF election day had passed
into slumbers. n more foul attempt
was made to murder the entire family.
Why any N should ave such fiendish
designs on Mr.. Sullivan and his fam
lily Is beyond the scope of conjecture.
Mr.. Sullivan is employed at the Green
Mountain mine as powder man, that Is.
he Is assigned the duty OF handling
the powder necessary for use in the
shift on which he works. He may
have enemies. but he cannot think that
n man hates him to the extent of
wishing to murder his family to graft
fy his hatred. And he does not even
know OF N single man who. from any
previous alteration or action, should
harbor such a grudge against him. He
Is one OF the city's most esteemed citi-
zens. sober N industrious.
Mr.. Sullivan a returned from work
Tuesday and retired early i'm the even
ing. not even caring to join his friends
in celebrating h democratic victory
of the day. Towards morning the
stiffness OF the hour was broken by a
terrific explosion. The sound of il was
heard in Walkerville and in parts OF
Butte. but no attention was paid to it,.
as IL was thought to be an explosion of
a bomb In celebration of the victory
of democracy. The Sullivan family.
however. looked at IL i'm a more serious
light. The giant powder was placed
on the frontd door step and its explosion
tore the door from its hinges and shat
tered the two front windows. besides
shaking up the furniture In the house.
Within Is feet of the powder were three
little. innocent children asleep and the
comforting hand of Providence
with the plans of the das-
and the children were unframed.
Mr.. and Mrs. Sullivan were terrified
and the mother ran to the room where
her children were sleeping and on find
Ing them safe. joy took the place of ter
ror and fear. and hen the lady gave
way and almost completely collapsed
from the nervous shock. The morning
still and clear. and no trace of the
assassin could be found. A large crowd
gathered about the Sullivan home,
and II the fiend had been caught there
would have been a necktie party or
strikingly similar to il as a
sequel To the outrage. As II is. If MIR.
ever lays hands on the would
be murderer, there will be one assassin
less. Mr.. Sullivan makes no charges
but will keep his eyes wide open.
