German and Irish Societies of Toledo

TOLEDO, o., April 24.-Representa.
tive and influential members of the
German Central bund of Toledo, an Or
ganization of over ], 900 Germans of this
city, together with the representatives
of all the Irish societies, met and laid
plans for an organization of the COM

to oppose an American-British alliance.

league will have at least 5000 members.
It was decided to present the cause to
the people by means of a mass meeting
at which resolutions will be adopted

GERMANS MAD
Bitterly Complain of Their Bad
Treatment by British Off
Gals at Apia-
Allege That One of Their Number
Was Grossly Insulted by Cap
tain Sturdee.
Arrested and Held a Captive on
the Cruiser Porpoise for
Fifteen Hours.
Incessantly Shelled Houses of Ger
man Residents Under Vari-
GUS Pretexts.

BERLIN, April 24.-The Lokal An
zeiger publishes two letters from Samoa
dated March %. One of them is from
its special correspondent at Apia, Herr
Won Wolffersdorff, and the other from
Herr Marquardt, a prominent German
resident of Apia, who, under Tamasse,
was military instructor, and later under
Mataafa and the provisional government
was justice of the peace until he re-
signed on the departure of DR.. Raffel,
the German president of the municipal
government of Apia.
From Herr Marquardt's letter it ap-
pears that it was he and not Herr Ruff
nagel who was arrested by Captain
Stardee, commander of the British war
ship Porpoise, for bearing arms against
the British sailors. He says he was
taken ON board the Porpoise where he
claims he was grossly insulted by Cap
tain Sturdee, and that
After Fifteen Hours Captivity,
during which no proof against him was
advanced, he was transferred to the
German warship Fake but with the
condition that he was not to leave her.
Herr Marquardt asserts that his property
was stolen and destroyed by Malietoa
Tanu's hosts and that millions Of other
German property was likewise de.
stroyed. The writer then asks who will
pay the damages?
Herr Won Wolffersdorff asserts that the
British consul, Mr.. Maxse, and Captain
Sturdee are both guilty of the grossest
conduct in exceeding their treaty pow
ers. He claims they treated the Ger
mans like captives and continued an
almost incessant Smelling of Ger
man houses under various pretexts. He
adds that the most intense indignation
prevailed among the Samoan Germans
against the British excuses. Other
wise, Herr Won Wolffersdorffs reports
agree with the German official reports.

LONDON, April 24.-According to a
letter received here from British ma

dated March IS, the British cruiser
Porpoise, Captain Sturdee, in order to
cripple the rebels, cruised around the
coast of Upolo, burning villages and
carrying to Apia all the boats of the
natives. AS their boats are regarded by
the Samoan islanders as their most val
liable possessions, it was believed that
this plan would readily infict greater
hardship upon them than the destruc-
ton of their villages.

meets the financial difficulty. For eS-
ample, there is an agitation in South
Africa for a railway from Cape Colony
to Cairo. Mr.. Rhodes has been inter-
viewing the home government, asking,
not for capital, but for a guarantee.
The government will only guarantee
the railway so far as it considers it of
commercial value, and has given its
guarantee for one section of this pro-

MUST Be STAMPED.
The Interest Coupons Attached to
Promissory Notes Taxable.
Has NOT BEEN The CUSTOM HERE.
= Recent Decision on the subject fl
Handed Down by United States
81 Commissioner =. M.
Wilson.

United States Commissioner J.. NJ
Wilson, of Washington, d. G., has just
handed down a decision relative to the
payment of revenue tax on interest
coupons on promissory notes, that will
be of much interest to local banks, in
asmuch as it deals with a question
which has been mooted one for some
time. The decision was rendered in
response to an inquiry made by J. 81.
Hass, cashier of the Davenport Savings
bank. The communication is compre,
hensive, and for the benefit of those
interested in such matters is appended
in full:
This Office is in receipt of your let
ter of Oct. II in which you inclose a
letter signed by the Savings Bank of
Davenport relative to the question OF
the taxibility of interest coupons,
You state that the practice of the
local banks is not to detach the cou-
pons until the interest is paid, then
they are Cancelled and returned to the
maker as his receipt for the payment
of the interest.
"A sample of the form of note with
interest coupons attached used by the
bank in question is submitted and in
formation is desired as to whether or
not the interest coupons are subject
to taxation in addition to the stamp re-
CURED on the principal note.
In reply you are advised that the
form of the interest coupon attached
to the principal note submitted by YOU
is in the form of a promissory note,
and is subject to taxation as such, and
must be stamped in addition to the
stamp required on the principal note.
Under the rulings of the office rela-
tive to the stamping of notes and
mortgages under the act of June 10,
1898, as amended Feb. 2s, 1899, you
are advised that where note secured
by mortgage has interest notes at
tached thereto, the tax accruing on the
principal note, plus the tax accruing on
the interest coupon must be compared
with the tax accruing on the mort
gage securing the same, and stamp
presenting the greater tax may be af-
fixed either to the mortgage or to the
principal note as parties may elect.
Respectfully,
u. NJ. Wilson, Commissioner"
