took steps to foreclose the mortgage
and Baldwin filed bill in chancery in

The latter contended that the congress

as descredited and debased metal

Express Companies Must Pay War Tax.
The Michigan supreme court has de-
cided the case brought by Atty Gen.
Maynard on the relation of numerous
Detroit merchants and manufacturers,
against the American Express Co., to
compel the company to pay for the
u. S. revenue stamp attached to ship
ping receipts. The Wayne circuit
court granted such a mandamus and
the company appealed to the higher
court, where the case was deliberately
argued. The main question in the case
related to the construction TO be placed
upon the revenue act, and the court
concluded that as the shipper has
nothing to do with issuing the receipt,
it was the clear intent of the law that
the company shall give such receipt
as will bring the government the rev.
enue provided, and therefore the COM
pany must pay the tax.

The attitude OF the Philippine lnSurgeni
lenders Is daily becoming more danger
oGs. 81 open Is their opposition TO the
Ameri6an authorities that the situation
~ stra red and n reconciliation may be
diai, ult.
what makes the situation the more
Troublesome Is the undisgused rivalry
between the followers OF General Aguin-
aldo the seh-proolaimed dictator. ana
General Pillar, who cove,s the honor
which AgutnStdo has acquired.
General Pilo. Pllaf is In command OF
the lnsurgent troops stationed south OF
Manila. He uses them In a way that is
most annoying to AgOinaldo and at che
same time makes every effort TO show
his utter disregard to the American off,
Gals.
His forces continue to patrol the city,
encouraging lawlessness in every direc-
tion.
Agulnaldo's course is no less annoying.
He no longer attempts to conceal his hos
tllity to the officials who represent the
United States and yesterday issued an
order prohibiting his soldiers from en-
tering the American lines.
This course was probably deemed neces-
sary in order to prevent them from be-
coming so well disposed toward Ameri-
cans as TO destroy his power by repudiat-
ing his leadership.
The attitude of the rival leaders can
not fail in the end to injure the cause OF
Philippine independence. Certainly nj
will prevent the presentation of strong
case before the peace commission in be-
half " the Philippines.
