The absence of a delegate from St

Tax Against Foreign insurance Com

Dies MONIES, Oct. 2s.-Insurance
companies got another blow from the
supreme court yesterday. This time
it is the foreign companies The court
holds t}1at the az per cent tax against
gross receipts imposed upon them by
section 1893 OF the new code is on their
business and not against their proper
'ty, and therefore not in contravention
Ct the constitutional provision that the
property of corporations shall be taxed
the same as that of individuals. 1t is
this constitutional provision upon
which the supreme court knocked out
that clause of section 1888 which pro-
vides that the per cent tax against
the gross receipts of home insurance
companies shall stand in lieu of all
others. The case was brought by the
Scottish Union and National Insurance
Company, of Edinburgh and London,
to recover taxes paid under protest.
The case was decided against the insur-
ance company by Judge Holmes, and
the company appealed.

the state, under the law which author
ICES them to examine and report to the

these institutions. Judge Kline, on his
recent tour, visited the county asylums

others there are poor buildings, un-
sanitary and unfit for the care of pa
tients of any kind, while some are
fairly we'll kept and have good build

CAPTURE OF THE HUSsARs. .
OMcial Story Of the Taking Of British
SQUADRON BY the Boers.

Onicial Story Of the Taking of British
Squadron by the Beers.
DURHAM, Oct. 3l.-The following Of
fetal account of the capture OF the
squadron of the Eighteenth Hussars
by the Beers is given by Captain
Hardy.
after the battle at Glencoe three
sauadrons Of the Eighteenth Hussars,
with Maxim, a company of the Dub
lin Fusiliers and a detachment OF
mounted infantry, Colonel Moeller COM
handing, kept under cover OF ridge
north Of the camp, and at $50 p. m.
moved down toward Sandspruit.
"On reaching the open the British
force was shelled by the enemy but
without casualties. Colonel Moeller
led his men round Talana Hill, in
southeasterly direction, across Wants
Drift road, captured several Beers, and
saw the Boer ambulances retiring.
Then with Squadron Il of the Hussars,
the Maxim and mounted infantry, he
crossed the Dundee-Vryheld railway
and approached a strong force of the
enemy, who opened hot fire, wound
ing Lieutenant Lachlan.
"Our cavalry retreated across Wants
Drift, the Beers pressing. Colonel
Moeller held the ridge for some time,
but on the enemy envcloping his right
he fell back across the Spruit. The
Maxim stuck in water hole. Lieu
tenant Cape was wounded, three of the
detachment were killed, and the horses
of Major Greville and Captain Pollock
were shot under them.
1.-The force finally reformed on q
ridge to the north, which was held for
some time. While Captain Hardy was
attending to Lieutenant Crum, who
had been wounded, Colonel Moeller's
force retired into defile, apparently
intending to return to camp around
Impati mountain, but it was not seen
afterward."

Spain Owns None OF tho Philippines.
WAsHrNGroN, Nov. 3.-The positive
statement is made here by authority
that Spain does not retain possession
of single island of the Philippine
archipelago. This was called forth by
the declaration in the Spanish cortez
of Count DAlmenas that, through ig-
norance, the American commissioners
allowed three islands at the northern
extremity of the archipelago to remain
under Spanish control, through their
definition in the treaty of the bound
airy of the group. There is stated to
be no doubt as to the sufficiency of the
treaty clause ceding the entire archi-
pelago. If there has been a failure on
this point, that fact will not rebound
to SPANS benefit, for it has been held
officially that the islands north of the
Philippine archipelago belong to Japan.

MUST RESPECT TRADE RIGHTS.

United States Serves Notice on Russia,
Germany and France Regarding China.
WARRINGTON, Oct. 31.-The United
States has demanded from the govern
ments of Russia, Germany and France
assurances that in their division Of
China into zones of political domin-
alton or spheres of influence the trade
rights OF citizens of this country shall
be fully respected. These demands
are pretty sure to be acceded to, and as
soon as correspondence is passed
between Washington and the three
European capitals it is not doubted
that the desired assurances will be
given by the governments named. In
fact, tacit understanding to this
effect already exists, and little remains
to be done but to decide upon the form
inwhich the assurances shall be given.
There was some little surprise in diplo-
matte circles when the demands of this
government were presented through
the embassies here, but no sign of ex-
tremc displeasure or of intention to
resist was manifested in any quarter.
This move for making sure of our trade
status in China, for assuring ourselves
that all our treaty rights would be re-
spected under the proposed rearrange-
ment of actual authority along the
coast of China, was entered upon by
the administration in no light or
casual manner, but only after full dis
cussion and careful consideration of all
the possibilities. Now that there is
practically certainty of a successful
issue, it is felt that great stroke has
been made for American trade and in

lDss Moiaes Elcctric Road to Run 70
Greenfield aad Wintersot.

sDss Moines ElectFic Road to Run 20
Greenfeld aad wintersst.
Dies MONIES, Nov. 3.-An extension
of the Valley junction electric railway
line to Commerce, thence to Winterset
and thence to Greenfield is a probable
ity for next year. Surveyor Frank
Pelton has been secured by the street
railway company to survey the pro-
posed route and will begin work at
once. Officers of the company have
already driven over the route. 1t MIR.
Pelton's preliminary, survey is salts
factory and other arrangements can be
completed, work on the line will begin
next spring and it is hoped to have it
in operation by the end Of the season.
But this line is but a starter for what
the company contemplates in the way
of rural electric lines if the present
scheme is perfected and proves to be a
success. The company has been build
ing all its Des Moines lines with view
to some day extending them into the
country, and it is thought that the
time is about ripe. Speaking OF the
proposed road Manager Hippee said:
Yes it is true that we are contem-
plating an extension of the Valley
junction line to Greenfield, by way OF
Commerce and Winterset. That was
our intention when we went to Valley
Junction, and in fact we have built all
the city lines with the intention, ulti-
mately, of extending them into the
territory surrounding Des Moines. 1t
has been demonstrated in the east, par
ticularly in Ohio, where | am familiar
with the electric system, that such
lines are found to be paying invest
ments. Mr.. Polk is decidedly in favor
of extension and has been talking it to
me for five years. l haven't driven
over the proposed route, although
some of the other officers have. l be-
lieve the intention is to cross the Coon
river little this side of Commerce
The road will then run in direct line
to Winterset, and from Winterset
straight west to Greenfield. This will
open up q country which never has
marketed it's products in Des Moines
because there is no good way to get
here. l believe we could do a very
good business. not only in freight, but
also in passenger traffic, on system
of this kind. OF course we would
carry mail and express to whatever
points we could make quicker than the
railroads"
