RELIGIOUS TOLERATION.
Asked by the Board of Commissioners
for Foreign Missions.

New York. July 3.-The board of COM
missioners for foreign missions, whose
operations have been carried on in the
islands of the Pacific for nearly half
century. has issued the following con-
corning the alleged attitude on the queS-
ton of the status of some of these ISL
ands, which will result from the war
with Spain:
1t ought to be understood that the
American board does not NEEDLE in polit-
zeal matters, and that ut the present
time it takes no part in discussions re-
lating to territorial acquisitions by the
United Etates in any part of the world.
when our missionaries in foreign
land are denied the rights which other
Americans enjoy, the Intervention of our
government is sometimes sought, but on
principle, our board avoids seeking aid of
the State in the missionary work. In
view of the fOrcible Intervention of Spain
in the Caroline Islands. ten years ago
putting stop to Christian efforts of our
missionaries who were there years before
the Spaniards arrived, we deem it
right to ask that whenever the status
of those islands is determined ample
guarantee shall he required of whatever
power shall hold sovereignty, that, per-
feet religious liberation shall be enjoyed
by the islanders. AS to what nation
shall hold that sovereignty we have moth
ing whatever to say.

WHO PAYS THE TAX.

The Railroad and Express Company Pay
But the Telegraph Company Shifts it
on Senders of Messages.
1t is learned that the railroad COM
panies will pay the tax on bills of lading
and not leave this to be done by the
shipper. Ii is said that railroad men
here asked the officials if this was not
proper, and were told that it was.
The same is true of the Southern EX-
press Company. 1t pays the tax.
1t is the telegraph companies better
able than either the railroads or the eX-
press companies. to bear the burdens
that shift it on the senders of messages.

company that does the government busl-
ness, and yet it pays not cent OF war
