COMMENT IN FRANCE.
Presidents Message Excites Univer-
sal Praise.

sal Praise.
NEW YORK, Dec. IA dispatch to the
Tribune from Paris says:
Nearly all the Paris papers today ac-
cord the place of honor on their front
pages to comments on President McKin-
ley's message, which has caused a most
favorable and friendly impression.
All the papers pay tribute to President
McKinley's allusion to the share the
United States is taking in the exhibition
of 1900, an allusion unanimously spoken
as it does so closely upon the heels OF
Mr.. Chamberlain's aggressive Leicester
speech.
But 1t Is In government circles, and
especially at the foreign Office, that the
most marked satisfaction Is felt at Mr..
McKinley's message. At the Quai dor
say the conviction is expressed that to-
day, in no part of the world, is there any
possible point of friction between the two,
republics. In China the United States
will find no power more anxious, heartily
nance of the open door, than France is.
There is also community of interests
between the two republics in the trans
isthmian canal, for 1t is now absolutely
immaterial to the French government
whether the Panama or the Nicaragua
or any other route be decided upon.
The only interest of France in the mat
ter is that the republic of Ecuador shall
not be at liberty to sell or cede to Eng
land. or to any European power, the
Galapagos islands, which. in the opinion
of French naval authorities. would give
England strategic command of the future
transisthmian canal similar to which the
possession of Alden secures for her in re-
gard to the Suez canal.

new DELINQUENT TAX LAW
COUNTY RECEIVES 100000 IN Sew
EN- DAYS.
Investors Quick to Take Advantage
of Fifteen Per Cent. Interest,"
Choice Property snapped Up
Owners Must Pay to Clear Title.

approximately 100000 has been invested
in delinquent tax certificates since Noven,-
Der |. On two or three days the cash re-
ceipts from this source have amounted to
fully $4,000. and on other days the amounts
have varied from 5000 to $1,000.
Investors have been watching the mat
ter closely, and as soon as the taxes be-
came delinquent they commenced looking
up the records for choice property. Even
II they do not become the owners eventu-
ally Of the land, they are certain Of
high rate of interest on their investment.
The new delinquent law provides that
the person who holds the tax certificate
shall receive Is per cent. interest each year
on the amount of his investment. This
Is more than double the interest paid by
loans on real estate and collateral secur-
ity
Under this law taxpayers find II unusu-
ally important for them to keep up their
payment If they do not. anyone can step
In and take out delinquent tax certif-
cate, and that forms cloud on the title,
which no abstractor or attorney will pass.
1t is just as bad as Judgment.
There Is also a provision which makes 1t
important for the purchaser Of a delinquent
certificate to follow up the payments to
the county. II he does not. some one else
can step in and purchase over his head.
and he is loser.
At the expiration Of three years from the
date Of the issuance OF delinquent tax
certificate the holder can give notice In
court of foreclosure proceedings. Unless
the money he has paid, together with inter-
est at 10 per cent. from year to year. is
turned over to him by the original owner,
he can foreclose his lien and become the
owner in fact OF the property.

GO GIN IS REMANDED.
superior Judge Jacobs Continues
Prisoners Case One Week.

The hearing of the application of-a Fed
eral prisoner named Go Gin for writ Of
habeas corpus on the ground that he is
unlawfully detained by Sheriff Van de
Vanter. was continued yesterday by Judge
Jacobs until next Thursday.
When the case first came up several
days ago Sheriff Van de Vanter replied
to the summons that he did not have such
a prisoner. Yesterday he said that after
an investigation he had discovered that
Go Gin was I'm Jail under the name of Joe
Jan. He had nothing to do with him more
than to furnish safe place at the re-
quest of the United States marshal, in
whose charge the prisoner had been placed
by the Federal court.
Deputy Prosecuting Attorney Fulton
represented the government at the request
of District Attorney Gay He exhibited
as part Of his case an order from Judge
Hanford remanding Go Gin to the charge
of the marshal pending action by the grand
jury. Go Gin has been held for deporta-
ton on the charge Of having forged cer-
tificate.
The matter was brought officially to
Judge Hanford's attention and he or
dered a stay. The next thing the govern
ment knew an attempt was made to have
the superior court release the prisoner
The Chinaman's attorney claims that the
marshal has not given the sheriff the
proper papers to show the latter's author

the country. as well as of the entire United
States have had an object lesson In the
benelicent effects of the single goiu STAND
ard. and the swift return of prosperity on
the heels of the panic has done more 10
convert thinking people to the single goio
standard than an eternity of campaigning
could have done.
GAS to the legislation In which our people
are interested there are several measures
of a good deal of interest. There Will be
an effort made upon my part during the
coming winter to secure appropriations
for the benefit of both the Tacoma narpof
and the Seattle harbor
sI shall also make an effort to secure an
appropriaton for the Improvement or the
Columbia river. There has been very de-
cided action among people of the state OF
Washington in favor of portage railway
around the rapids on the Columbia river
so as to render the transportation of grain
more easy. This regard as quite impor-
tant, There are number of other mat
tiers of this kind quite too numerous to
mention.
IAN effort will be made to procure pub
lie building for the city of Spokane and
the city of Tacoma. the city of Seattle
already having a public building.
Pensions for Indian War Veterans.
"Another matter of interest to many
men In the state is the matter of PEN
sion law for the veterans of the Indian
war The residents of the state of WASH
ington and the state of Oregon are a unit
in this matter. 1t is very meritorious
measure and win be earnestly supported
by CONGRESSMAN Tongue and myself In
conjunction 1t Is only necessary to state
the matter" said Mr.. Cushman, ''for any
one to see how very meritorious this meas
ure is The veterans of the civil war are
receiving pensions for their service. while
the citizens of Washington and Of Oregon
who bore arms against the Indians and
performed hard military service have new
er received any pension therefor.
another matter of very great interest
to the people is the interests of Alaska
upon which I have been asked TO keep a
friendly eye. ] shall endeavor to get an
appropriation this winter for the construc-
ton OF at least five lighthouses on the
Alaskan coast. Upon my trip to Alaska
last summer" said the congressman. II
was surprised TO find that all along the
coast of British Columbia the British had
erected numerous lighthouses, but not a
single one existed along the coast on Amer
lean territory. The necessity for these
lighthouses is absolutely imperative. There
are many other matters regarding Alaska,
including the necessity of a public school
system and means for its maintenance, a
good game law. a mining law when shall
prohibit locations of placer mines through
a power of attorney, and many other pro-
visions that should be placed in the Alas
kan code"
Mr.. Cushman also said that he was very
anxious to have the supplies munitions and
troops sent to the Philippines by the United
States government sent in transports by

There are now two lines Of stages
making trips daily between Lewis
ton and this place. one leaving Lew
iston at .. 30 a. m. and the other go
ing out one hour later. Passengers
get breakfast before starting. but
are ready for n second substantial
breakfast which awaits them upon
their arrival at Fountains place at
10 o'clock. From Lewiston TO the top
OF the hill. a distance Of several miles
the road Ia good, but once on the hill
top there is an end Of the summer
climate and conditions of the Lewis
ton valley, high winds and copious
rains prevail and the mud begins.
There Is covered coach as far as
Fountains place. there teams are
changed and passengers transferred
To an open wagon. From Fountain
To Grangev!lle the mud renders the
road almost impossible, the wheels
frequently dropping into chuck holes
10 the hubs. Teams are sometimes
so exhausted on this part of the trip
as to make n walk Of several miles
necessary on the part OF the male
contingent OF the the passengers.
