GILKIsON REELECTED.
MunicipaI League Concluded I,
Owed Him That nsideration


Owed Him That Consideration.
DETROIT, Aug. 4.-The League Of Amer
can municipalities this afternoon adopted the
report of its special auditing committee CEN
surfing its secretary, B. F. Gilkison, of New
York, for Irregularities in handling the
leagues funds. The league, however, re-
elected the secretary in consideration of his
services in perfecting the organization and
on the theory that his failure to turn over
the funds to the treasurer and to furnish the
vouchers required by the auditing committee
were technical errors and ought not to be
construed as reflection upon his character
or ability. The auditing committees rero:t
read by the chairman. Mayor Gibson, of
Evansville, o., stated that the secretary turn
ed over to the treasurer the money received
from dues, ETC., for the first three months,
since which time he had paid the bills from
the money received, regardless of the con-
stitution's requirements.
A warm debate succeeded the read ng of
the report, several delegates contending that
it's adoption would be unfair to Gilkison and
discreditable to the league, especially since
Gilkison had been the prime mover and work.
er in organizing the league Others asserted
that the business of the organization should
be conducted on strictly business principles,
and could find no excuses for the secretary's
derelictions. Finally the previous question
moved and the report was adopted.
Samuel Black, mayer of Columbus O.. was
elected president, and B. F. Gilkison secre-

Brewers Were Trying to Eeat the
DingIey Bill.

William Hamm, of the Hamm Brewing
company, claims that the article in The
Globe, giving the RICE pts from ber tax

figures show that in July. 1897. thu tax re-
ceipts for beer amounted to $i0S.0G0 whi'e
this year for the same month. with the tax
per barrel doubled, practically. the revenue
amounted to only $4,000.

PUSHING THE WAR.
Government Is Chseismating spain's
Policy ef ProIGnging Negotiations.


Policy Of ProiongiRg Negotiations.
WASHINGTON, Aug. 4-There was
an expectation at the state department
that, perhaps, towards the close of the
afternoon, some word might be re-
ceived from Spain, through the French
anlbass ador, in reply to the presidents
deliverance yesterday upon the sub
ject of peace conditions. This eXpec-
tation was based upon the fact that the
terms themselves had not been modi-
fed in any essential condition, SO that
there was no necessity to prolong dis
cussion by the Spanish cabinet, which
was supposed TO have thoroughly con-
sidercd this matter before rendering
the first reply. However, it was per-
ceiVed from the news dispatches that
the Madrid cabinet meeting had been
inconclusiVe, so it was expected that
nothing definite could be known by
noon at the earliest. There is a conf
dent belief among administration Off
Gals that the Spanish cabinet may &C
cept the terms laid down by the presi-
dent and not delay, but it may be OPP
posed by the Spanish foreign policy,
which would not countenance accept
ance without show of resistance in a
hope of change of the terms. This, of
course, cannot be accomplished, and
the French ambassador is well aware
of the fact. PROFESSIONALLY he has so
informed the Spanish cabinet, and the
government is no doubt preparing it
self to meet the criticism Of its politi-
cal opponents by submitting a counter
proposition through NJ. Cambon.
While negotiations are going on, war
preparations are also being made. Gen.
Randall was assigned, only yesterday,
TO command the military camp at Mon
tauk Point. Navy department officials
also insist that no change has been
made in the orders to the Watson
squadron. Indeed, there now seems to
be evident a purpose to dispatch this
fine squadron to European waters, re-
gardless of the termination of the war;
the idea being that the splendid dis
play which would be made by the
American ships would have benef1-
cial effect in inspiring respect for our
naval strength.

THESE ARE EXEMPT.

WASHINGTON, Aug. 4.-The commissioner
of internal revenue today rendered decision
in which he holds, in effect, that persons en-
gagged in manufacturing sugar from cane or
beets and who do not buy and refine other
sugars are not subject to the tax imposed
by the new war revenue act.
Under this ruling. practically all the beet
sugar mills of the West and the cane mills
of the South exempt from the tax, who
are held not to be refiners within the mean
ing Of the law. OF this latter class there
are said to be over 700 in the state of
Louisiana alone.
The decision was rendered upon the appi-
cation of the OXnard Beet Sugar company,
who asked for a ruling upon this point.
