EXPRESS COMPANIES.
Must Pay Special Tax FOR Dealing
In Foreign Bills of Exchange.


WASHINGTON, Oct 31.-Commis-
sioner Wilson of the Internal Revenue
Bureau has held that an express COM
pany which buys and sells foreign ex-
change is subject to the special for
eign tax of $50 a year as basis on
which it transacts business.
A committee appointed at the re-
cent annual meeting of the American
Bankers Association some days ago
asked the Commissioner to reconsider
his ruling of March 24th last, relieving
express companies from the special tax
as brokers under the war revenue Act
The Commissioner in reply, pointed
out the fact that there was a misap-
prehension as to the extent of this
ruling, and that it related only to the
money order business of express COM
panies, and held that they did not in
volve themselves in special tax la
bility as brokers by carrying on that
particular branch of business.
No question has been raised as to the
correctness of this ruling, and no
change in it is contemplated. Atten-
ton, however, has been called to cir
culars, and advertisements of one ex-
press company, showing that it makes
II part of its business to buy or sell
foreign money at any of its agencies in
the United States" and that "it is al
ways in the market for the purchase of
good foreign bills of exchange"
This of itself, says the Commissioner.
IS sufficient to warrant him IN direct
ing Collectors of Internal Revenue in
the various districts in which this COM
pany and its agents are engaged in this
business to report cases for assessment
OF the special tax and penalty.

GEORGE suEssER.
On Trial at Salinas for the Murder
of Sheriff Farley.

SALINAS, Oct. 31.-George Suesser,
the murderer of Sheriff Farley, is on
trial before Judge Dorm to-day. and
the prospects are not promising for
other than verdict of murder in the
first degree. Although the defendant
has probably the best attorney in the
county, yet it is asserted that he will
be of no avail. Judge Dorm had IS
sued a venire for seventy-five jurors
to appear this morning. Up to 2 p.
m. only two jurors had been secured.
The enormity of the crime and the
popularity of the murdered man will
cause, it is thought, several special
venires to be issued before twelve un-
biased jurors can be obtained.
Suesser appears utterly unconcerned,
and displays the same nonchalant man.

When court closed for the day only
five jurors had been secured as follows:

DECLINES TO ACCEPT.
DR.. Jurado Will Not Act as a Rep
resentative of Fi1ipinos.

LONDON, Oct. 31.-Dr. Regidor
Jurado. Chairman Of the Spanish Cham
ber of Commerce in this city, yesterday
evening received a cablegram sent by
Senior Paterno, President of the So
called Filipino Cabinet, from Manila, as
follows:
IT have been instructed by Aguinaldo
to ask you to accept the post of repre-
sentative of the Filipino Government
at Washington if you are going to
America for any other purpose"
DR.. Jurado says he will not accept
the official position. He goes to the
United States in December in the in
terest of the Filipino clergy, who are
anxious to secure the same protection
that Major General Otis has granted
to the Spanish clergy. If he accepted
an official position in Washington, it is
claimed the authorities would not re-
ceive him.
The record-union., 1899-11-01

WASHINGTON, Oct. 31.-In view OF
the current discussion of the military
agreement between General Bates and
the Sultan of Sulu, the views Oh fres-
ident Schurman of the Philippine CoHs
mission on this subject are interestlrg.
Mr.. Schurman was one OF the nrst
Americans to visit Jolo, the seat VI
Spanish Government in the Sulu archl-
pelagu, and had an extended lnterVle"
with the Sultan before the ARRIVAL OF
General Bates. The arrangements ELI
tered into by the Sultan ana General
Bates were considerably Influenced Dy
this meeting.
Although the full text of the agree
ment with the Sultan has not been
made public by the authorities, 1t can
be stated that it practically conforms
to the previous convention existing De-
tween the Sultan and the Spanish Gov
ernment. In this agreement spain
never claimed more than an external
protectorate in the Sulu group, the
right to suppress piracy in its waters,
and to prevent the periodic migrations
of oathbound Mohammedans, Who went
to the northern islands under VOW to
kill Christians and thus secure an en-
trance into Paradise.
Professor Schurman said to-day,
when questioned about the probable
continuance of polygamy and slavery
in the islands after they came under
the American dominion. that this was
a subject that would have to be dealt
with in the most careful fashion to
bring an ultimately satisfactory sOlu-
ton.
1T seems to me- said he, that were
It not for the ignorance displayed, the
present hue and cry about polygamy
and slavery in these islands would be
absolutely criminal. In taking over
the Sulu group we have acquired no
rights of any sort there except those
bequeathed us by Spain. She was
bound by her agreement with the Sui
tan not TO interfere with the religion
or customs of the islands, and it would
be most unwise for us to attempt this
by force, when it can be ultimately ac-
complished by the slower method of
civilization and education.
THE Sulu group proper contains
about 100000 inhabitants. They are all
Mohammedans, as are about 100000
of the residents of Mindinano, directly
east. To attempt to interfere with the
religion of these people would precip-
itate one of the bloodiest wars in which
this country has ever been engaged.
They are a different race physically and
mentally from the residents of the
Visayan Islands, powerful men and
religious fanatics of the most pro-
nounced type, who care nothing Tor
death, and believe that the road to
heaven can be attained by killing Chris
tians. Polygamy is a part of their
religion, and slavery, about which 50
much is being said just now, is a mild
type of feudal bondage.
The Sultan believes from what he
has seen of Americans that they are
ready to be friendly and deal honestly
with him. Our soldiers and officers al
ready travel into the interior of Jelo
with perfect impunity, where Spaniai ds
have never dared to set foot. 1t has
been suggested indirectly to the Sultan
that he should maintain an American
