VIII Oppose It.

Mayor Truelson, of Duluth, will
oppose the. county commissioner e
plan for the settlement of taxes for
1895 and prior years that are delin-
quent. He regards it as putting a
premium on non-payment of taxes.
The plan is to settle for so per cent
of the tax on the basis of the tax
rate and valuation for 1898, 1t is
estimated that the reduction will
amount to in the neighborhood of go
per cent.
at is a horizontal reduction ofthe
taxes" said he, "the very thing we
have been objecting to. A few from
whom we could collect 100 cents on
the dollar will pay, and from the rest
we will get nothing. Theresult will
be that we cannot get money enough
to pay our running expenses. The
effect would be that hereafter people
would let their taxes go in hope tof
getting a settlement such as this
proposal when we got so hard up that
we were forced to it,.
"It is also an injustice to those who
have paid their taxes in full. as 9th
ert could settle for 40 cents On the
dollar. This is the plan that we

A nti-Boycott Bill.

The O'Neil anti-boycott bill passed
the house yesterday morning and az
soon as it passes the senate, will be-
come law. There is no opposition
to the bill in the senate and no doubt
1t will be passed when reached in the
regular order Of affairs. Duluth in

expressed ourselves as opposed to at
the meeting at the council chamber
to talk over the question. 1t is the
most serious matter that has con-
fronted u.s."
Truelson expressed himself as op-
posed to the refunding bill In its
present shape, sit will tie us up so
that we can't do business" said he.
sit will prevent any extension Of
water mains and will preclude US
from acquiring the West Duluth
water plant. It will render US help
less to free ourselves from whatever
embarrassed position we may get in.
1t would be better to let our floating
Indebtedness run along as it Is rather
than pass this bill"
In spite of. the opposition to the
county's plan of settling dead taxes,
the plan is In operation, and a large
number Of people are taking advan-
tage of it every day. Nearly every
mail carries bunch Of applications
to the state auditor for him to pass
upon and the treasurer is receiving a
good deal of money out of the plan.
There is no disposition on the part of
county officers to regard Mayor
Truelson's opposition to the extent
of holding up the settlement Of taxes.
One county officer said in reference
to the matter: If we wait every
time until the mayor and city coun-
Gil agree on what they want or on
what they want us to do we shall
never get anything done. and I am in
favor of going ahead with the settle
ment as though it had not been op-
posed. The taxpayers seem to want
1T, and as we are employed by the tax
payers rather than by the city officers
we should go ahead"

our genial but erstwhile despondent
free-silver friends are getting onts
themselves. When we recall the dolA-
full fOrbodings of members of this
financial school two years ago and
observe today the tremendous energy
which they employ in their respective
avocations, We feel inclined to ask
them how they like McKinleys

Now is the time to make hay and
lay up enough for that rainy day

A CABLE ISLAND
Important Landing Point Seized
by Japan.
UNITED STATES HEADED OFF
Use of Wake Island Is Now Forced =
The Honolulu Line-Survey
Ship Route

NEW YORK, May 23.-The Wash
egraphs: | learned today that the at
tention of the State Department has
been called to the recent occupation by
Japan of Marcus Island, in the Pa
cific. The acquisition of this island
by Japan has had the effect of caus-
a change in the instructions given to
the collier Nero, which is surveying
the cable route proposed by Rear Ad-
miral Bradford.
This route avoids Wake island,
which was taken possession of by the
gunboat Bennington in the name of
the United States, and contemplated
the laying of a cable between Homo
lulu and Midway Island, acknowledge
ed to be American, which possesses a
harbor capable, with slight improve
ments, of accommodating vessels of
light draught.
The distance between Honolulu and
Midway is 1160 miles. The proposition
was then TO connect Midway and Mar
Gus Island, 1900 miles apart with
Guam, the next cable station being
only $40 miles distant from Marcus
Island.
Marcus Island is 1000 miles fro
Yokohama, and was placed by tn
United States man-of-war Tuscaror9
in 1874. q latitude 2S degrees 10 4nIif-
utes north. longitude 154 degrees east.
Reports received at the Navy De-
partment regarding Wake Island show
that it is of little value as cable sta
tion, being but a few feet above the
sea. and frequently submerged.

PEACE CONFERENCE.

NEW YORK, May PA Sun cable
from The Hague says Tie American
delegates to the Peace Conference have
decided, in obedience to their instruc-
tions, and despite the rebuff from kus-
sisi, to persist in introducing pro,
posal to reutralze property at sea
when such property is not contraband
of war.
The subject will be introduced In
the laws of war committee, and there
is no longer danger that Russia will
attempt to block discussion.
The Swedish delegates have protest
ed in the disarmament committee
against placing any restrictions on the
use of new explosive or new weapons.
