The finance committee reported that it was
unable to recommend a tax levy. as il had
not received the valuation for 1898. The
committee also reported that the treasury
was overdrawn to the amount of SlOs. 50 and
recommended that bills and appointments be
laid over. This is the second time the
bills have been laid over. The com
mittee expects to receive some money
from Tax Collector Seaman by the 18th
inst, but it is feared that the amount will
hardly more than pay the interest that will
fall due on the date mentioned. 1t will
probably be necessary to negotiate another
loan. The loan of 1900 secured last month
was exhausted almost entirely in the pay
ment Of salaries.

representatives to go to Potstlam for re-
dress or anything else they wanted. Later
this oily and independent diplomat, when
he was cornered and forced to make some
sort OF treaties and promises, readily and
greedily made all sorts Of treaties and
promises. He agreeably signed all sorts Of
papers, but when the European diplomats
were out OF sight he locked up the treaties
in an old box, instead of forwarding them
TO his homo government, and forget his
promises. Later these same treaties, dirt
bearimed and soiled. were discovered

Russia and France pounding before the

Cling among themselves over the spells,

ought to be burned out. Yeh withstood

war iunks and the blaze of all of Cantons

This consultation led to the famous adj

The nations Of Europe are eying China

famous series of wars that threw open so

How Joseph Savage Exhales the Smoke Of
Cigarettes.

Joseph Savage of Louisa, O., is 10 years
old ani a strange victim of trio cigarette
habit. Several years ago his father sent
him to business school to prepare for
commercial life. TIE young man pro-
crossed well with his studies, and every
thing indicated bright future until no
became addicted to the use Of cigarettes.
From that time on young Savage became
indifferent as to his studies, and only had
one aim in view-to satisfy his desire for
smoking. He smoked all day, and at
night he was compelled to get up and
quiet his nerves with a few soothing draws
Mt a cigarette. When he left college, no
returned to his home, but Louisa was too
small to satisfy him after spending three

circular orders Russian ambassadors to
announce the cecs:on by China for
twenty-five years to Russia of these

should be hailed as a fortunate event by
all those who have at heart the bene-
fits of peace and the development Of
good relations among nations"
The st. Petersburg correspondent of
The Times says: The greatest indif-
ference, amounting almost to contempt,
is shown here for any possible British
protests against the Russo Chinese

England will never go beyond pro-

which, although he disavows speaking
as a responsible member of the govern

governments view. Lord SelbourIe de-
clared that there was no more humilia-

Russia from Manohuria than there
would be for RussiS in failing to eX-

Policy Of the "Open Door" Intact.
England has lost nothing in China
which ought to have been kept. The
policy Of an open door is intact. We
have already obtained valuable COM
pensations, and are in q position to
obtain more If we require them"
The Times. commenting editorially on
Lord Selbournes speech, says: THE
| language of Lord Selbourne is not cal
| culated to dispel the dangerous illusion
| expressed by the newspapers that Great
Britain viii not go to a greater length
| than protests" The Daily News says:
ut is a scriaus rebuff. and makes the

that British rights and interests are
