LONDON, Jan. 14.-The Paris cor
respondent of the Evening Post
says: According to news from St.
Petersburg, from source usually
trust worthy, treaty of alliance be-
tween Russia and Afghanistan was
signed on January Bird, despite the
strenuous opposition of Great Bri-
tain, whose representatives, it is al
legged, offered the Ameer money and
troops, with view of inducing him
to enter upon hostilities against
Russia. According to the same
source of information, the Ameer,
a few days before, had issued pro-
clamation assuring the Afghans Of
the Tsar's friendly disposition and
of the benefits likely to result from
Russia building the Kushk Railway.
adding: Let us not listen, there
fore, to certain evil-disposed foreign
ers who are in the habit of uttering
calumnies, but let us be friends of
the Russians as we are OF their EN-

STABILITY of increasing the per capita

The bill introduced by Senat-
or Torson allowing sheriff's their
fees for serving notices for the
collection Of personal property
taxes, whether the collections
are made or not, is receiving the
hearty support of the grafters
who happen to hold shrievalties
Even the Immaculate Sargent,
Of St. Louis county, was on the
floor of the senate Tuesday work
ing for the passage of the bill
But while his time is paid for by
the ST. Louis county taxpayers
and his railroad fare is furnished
gratis, it is but fair to presume
that his trip cost him much more
than would trip to the ranges
in. quest of unpaid personal
taxes.
The people never object to the
payment Of an honest account,
but when railroad fare is charged
at ten cents per mile for each
and every personal tax collec-
ton made on the ranges. the
graft assumes noticeable pro-
portions, and in case of the pass
age OF the proposed measure it
is but fair to presume free
horse would be ridden to death,
or as near thereto as the sheriff
might deem expedient.
