British Backing Down in China.

The London Daily Mail says it learns
from a source. "hitherto accurate"
that China is inclined to make the best
possible bargains with Russia, whose
diplomacy appears to have triumphed
at Pekin, England, having resolved
not TO force conflict by further OPP
posing Russia's claims at Port Arthur
and in the Liao-Tung peninsula.
Japan, says the Daily Nails authority,
has been thrown into state of con-
sternation by the British backdown
and has adopted a more friendly atti
tude toward Russia.

Peculiar Tax Roll Crookedness

The supreme court has ordered the
board of Au Sable township, Iosco
county, to show cause why it should
not elect, at once, a new supervisor
and spread state and county taxes on
the township rolls. 1T is charged that
this assessment was willfully omitted
by Supervisor Dudgcon, who is now in
Idaho. The combined state and county
tax apportioned to An Sable township
was S6.043. 1t is said that the town
ship board backed Dudgeon in refus-
ing to spread this amount on the rolls,
and the reason is not very hard to find
when it is understood that every MEM
Der of the township board is an en-
ploye of the big lumber firm of the H.
NJ. Loud e. Sons Co., and that 90 per
cent of the taxable property in the
township is owned by the LIQUIDS. The
township treasurer refuses to allow the
county supervisors or any taxpayer to
inspect the rolls, which are kept in the
Louds' office.

another stuck his snout out. Mr. Poat
grabbed his gun and with one shot laid
No. 3 dead at his feet. He again be-
gan to pull one of the dead bears from

Steamer Duluth Wrecked ON st. Joseph
The steamer City of Duluth, with a

harbor at st. Joseph, about 10 p. IN.
and a jagged hole let the water rush
into the vessels hold. She sank al
most Immediately and only the cabins
and part of the bulwarks were out of
water. The fireman and engineer
scrambled out of the pit in hurry and
managed to reach the deck in
the nick of time. The stranded
steamer was soon in a helpless condi-
ton. The tugs were unable to release
her because the water is shallow on
the bar and terrible gale was blow
ing from the west. The life-saving
crew worked hard to save her crew Of
% and II passengers. A life line was
shot across tho deck on the second at
tempt and after being made fast by
the sailors the work of taking the pas.
sengers off in the breechcs buoy was
begun. August Kernwe!n, of st. Jo-
seph, was the first one TO be taken off.
The basket dipped into the icy water
several times as each one made the
passage to the shore and they thought
that their hours were numbered. The
women's screams as they were drawn
over the black abyss of waters added ter
ror to the occasion. The crew stuck to
their posts until the passengers had all
taken the dangerous ride and then
they took their turn, Capt. MacLane
remained until the last He had barely
reached shore when the waves broke
up the vessel. The passengers will all
recover from their experience except
Mrs. VIM. Tryon, of Royalton, who is
said to be in delicate condition. EX-
posture and fright will cause her death.
The steamer was chartered by the
Graham d Morton Transportation Co.
for the winter service between ST.
Joseph and Chicago. She was owned
by the Lake Michigan & Lake Superior

burden and was valued at $40, 900. She

President Mckinley Addressed National

Down Before Russia In China-ArieI
Railway over the Chilcoot Pass
President Mckinley Made a speech.


The fact that President Mckinley
was to be present and was to respond
to a toast drew large crowd to the
banquet at the Waldorf-Astoria hotel,
New York. which was the closing
event of the big convention of the
National Association of Manufacturers.
The President first referred to the con-
vention of the association at Cincinnati
in 1895 when he, as the governor of
Ohio, addressed them. He contrasted
the conditions of the business world at
that time and the present, and re-
minded them that their thoughts were
full of gloom then and that their chief
aim was to stop their constant losses,
while today trade has regained much
of the loss and now their ambition is
to reach for more extensive fields. He
then spoke on the relation of the gov
eminent to business, saying that ma
tional policies can encourage industry
and commerce, but the people must
project and carry them on. In speak
ing of the financial question the Presi-
dent said: There is another duty
resting upon the national government
to coin money and to regulate the
value thereof This duty requires
that our government shall regulate the
value of its money by the highest
standards of commercial honesty and
national honor. The money of the
United States is and must forever be
unquestioned and unassailable.
