B. & o. BOND TAX.
Opinion Given as to How Stamps
Should BE Affixed.

should he Affixed.
WASHINGTON, July 17.-Assistant At
torney General Boyd has rendered an
opinion as to whether war revenue
stamps should be affixed to the bonds is
sued by a railroad company, or to the
mortgage given as security therefor, and
the amounts required according to the
following statement of facts:
THE directors and stockholders of the
Baltimore & Ohio railroad have ap-
proved the execution by the company of
prior lien bonds to the amount of $75,-
100000 and the securing of the same by
mortgage deed Of trust to the Mercantile
Trust Company of New York, trustee.
$4,000, 900 are to be presently issued and
sold, and $4,000, 900 are reserved in the
hands of the trustee to be issued ana
sold after 1902 at the rate of 81, 800, 900
per year. The directors and stockholders
Of the railroad company have also ap-
proved and authorized the issue Of first
mortgage per cent bonds of the COM
pany to the amount of $50, 600 O0O secured
by mortgage deed of trust to the United
States Trust Company of New York OF
which bonds $50 000 900 are to be present
ly issued and sold; S6,O0O 900 are reserved
to take up like amount of bonds of
the Baltimore Belt Railroad company,
should the Baltimore & Ohio Railroad
company exercise its option to do SO,
and S,C0O,0O0 are reserved to be hereafter
issued and sold for the purpose of &C
quiTing new equipments or otherwise
adding to the mOrtgaged property.
I'm and by the mortgage deed Of trust
to the United States Trust company, the
railroad company reserves the right to
issue hereafter, for certain specified pur-
poses. additional bonds to the amount Of
$27, 100000, and it is provided that when
these additional bonds are issued they
shall be entitled to the security of the
mortgage deed of trust pari passu with
the other bonds issued hereunder Mel
Their the directors nor stockholders of the
railroad company have approved or au-
thorized the issue of these additional
bonds"
Mr.. Boyd holds that the stamps may
be affixed to either the bonds or the
mortgages, as both are parts of the same
transaction. and that they can be affixed
to the bonds as they are severally issued,
or they can be affixed to the mortgages
as the bonds are issued. If the requisite
stamps are affixed to either paper and
cancelled as required the law is com
piled with.
The amount of stamps on the transact
ton, he holds, is governed by the amount
of debt for which the property conveyed
in the mortgage is security for payment,
and consequently the bonds actually is
sued and constituting an obligation upon
the company must govern the amount Of
the tax.

SEATTLE, Wash, July 1.-THE news
brought from Cape Nome is various. One
man gives glowing accounts, while many
OF the miners from Dawson, who had
spent two or three weeks at St Michael.
say that they are convinced that the ac-
counts Of rich finds are exaggerated.
Some go so far as to pronounce it a
transportation fake. s. G. Simpson. of
this city, said he learned at St Michael
that miners in the Cape Nome district
were washing out as high as $500 per day.
A. e. McRaedy, of Colorado, said: 1T
is my opinion Cape Nome is a fake"
James holland, of WInona, Mimi, said:
A friend of mine, who is thoroughly re-
liable, tells me that absolutely no gold
has been taken out, and no work is be-
ing done on claims"
st. Michael is at present a harbor for
hundreds of unfortunates who have come
down the Yukon with nothing with which
to provide even the ordinary necessities
of life.
James E. Kelly. a passenger on the
Laurada, estimates that there are now
at st. Michael between 200 and 300 strange
prcspectors who do not know where their
next meal is coming from. The govern
ment station on the island Is besieged
with piteous appeals for aid, and steam
snip companies can obtain any number
OF men for any kind of work who are
willing to go into the hold and work

tinue all summer as rude, improvised
crafts from various river points drift
into the harbor every day, laden with
stranded men.

hemisphere, that Japanese statesmen vir-
tually recognized their duty toward their
people, and consented to the opening of
their land to intercourse with the civilized
nations of the world. These were the
days when the Yankee whalers invaded
the most remote seas in pursuit of their
hardy calling. 1t is to their enterprise
that the Japanese owe 1t in the first in
stance that they have accepted the de-
crees of fate which was inevitable, and,
through their wisdom and foresight, I'M
like their vast neighbor, have been able
to preserve their national autonomy
against the aggressions Of nations calling
themselves civilized whose greed may
prove fatal to the existence of the great
empire of China.
Here Is an American conquest accom-
plished through the influence of peace
and commerce the lessons of which the
American people may we'll take to their
hearts In these days when their cannon
belch forth fire in the conquest Of a
neighbor and kindred people of the Jap
anese. We made no claim on Japanese
territory. We asserted no right to con-
troll the national destiny. But we set an
example to the nations Of the world in
our treatment of this brave and inter-
esting people which has been the control
ling factor in preserving to them the
control of their national life and enabled
them within half a century to accomplish
all that many a heroic people have strug-
gled through the centuries to accom-
plish
The japanese people are worthy of the
great blessing which has befalIen
them. They are an enterprising and in
trepid race. They have fulfilled honor
ably all their self-assumed obligations
toward other peoples and have set an ex-
ample of forbearance and humanity in
their treatment of China in defeat which
puts to shame the record of every nation
but ours in the Orient
The sincerity of the welcome which the
American people hold out to their new
national sister will never be called in
question. for 1t is to their influence, un-
der Providence, that she is indebted for
the inestimable blessing of the centuries
Of peace and progress which they hope
await her.

SAW HIS BROTHER DROWN.

the Mississippi River

Robert D. Murray. the fourteen-year-
old son of D. c. Murray. living at 225
Yankee street, was drowned in the Mis-
sissippi river at the foot of Colburn
street shortly after 10 o'clock yeste1 cay
morning. The boy went in swimming
and got beyond his depth. His strength
gave out and he sank close to the
shore.
The lad left home in company with
his elder brother. Harold Murray, fif-
teen years old. The elder boy did not
go into the water, but sat on the bank
watching Robert The water is deep
at the point where the boy was drowned
and after swimming about for a short
time Robert called to his brother for
help and sank. The elder boy waded
as far out in the river as he could, but
could not reach his brother. He could
not swim and no one else was near. so
he was forced to see his brother drown.

ESTERHAZY'S LATEST.
Dreyfus Was Illegally but Justly
Convicted.

III " eN9 AAACtSNSAAS OuN
Convicted.
PARIS, July 18.-The Matin this morn
ing publishes a statement by Comte Fer
dinand Walsh Esterhazy, in which he
says that he wrote the bordereau BY
order Of Col. Sandherr and that it was
sent to the house Of Col Schwartzkop-
pen, then military attache at the German
embassy in Paris. whence it was return
ed to the war Office. Col. Schwartzkop-
pen being at that time in Berlin, never
saw the bordereau, which was forged
in order to supply material proof of the
guilt of Dreyfus.
The statement contains the assertion
that secret agents in Berlin, whose testi-
mony it was impossible to use, had
demonstrated that leakages had occurred
in the war office, and the fact that
treason existed was undeniable, and ev-
erything indicated Dreyfus as the
traitor.
All the war ministers, the statement
further says, knew the facts and thought
the forgery of@the bordereau necessary
The evidence duplicating Dreyfus was
the words Of Col acknowledgement own
mouth. Gems. Mercier, de Boisdeffre
and Gonse knew that the bordereau was
forged and that Dreyfus was illegally
but Justly convicted.

PEACE TALK.
AguinaIdO Said to Have Made Di-

CHICAGO. July IA special from
Washington says: Important cable
grams have been received at the state
department from the Philippine commits
sion and at the war department from
Gen. Otis concerning a new move In the
direction Of peace. These dispatches
have been in the hands of the president
for several days, but he has declined to
make them public because the ultra
optimistic views heretofore received from
the same source have not been borne out
by subsequent events. The latest dis
patches, however, are more encouraging
than the previous ones, but the presi-
dent wishes to have some positive re-
suits before making them public.
"All that car be learned definitely
about them is that direct overtures for
peace have been made to Gen. Otis by
Aguinaldo and some of his principal lead
ers.
SIT was said by a cabinet official to-
night that IL the promises are fulfilled
the volunteers now being enlisted will
not be needed"
