ance of the laws under which they are

"We recommend legislation that
would make it mandatory upon cor
porations seeking to engage in business
outside the state of their creation. that
they procure licenses from the foreign
state as condition precedent to their
entry into such state; such license to be
granted on such terms and subject to
such restrictions as will place the cor

inspection, supervision and regulation
as the domestic corporation of that
state, and subject to be revocable if the
conditions thereof are violated.
''That no corporation should be
formed in whole or in part by another
corporation.
THAT no corporation shall own or
hold any stock in another corporation
engaged in similar or competitive
business, and that no officer or director
or the owner of stock in another cor

Washington, Sept. a3.--Spain has de-
clared that Cuba must pay the accru-
ing interest on bonds issued by Spain.
This has brought statement by the
state department, which closes witv
this:
The United States, therefore, has as
sumed no obligations for and has no in
terest whatever in the declarations OF
the Spanish cabinet on the debts Of
Spain or how they shall be paid. The
present declaration looks like rcpudi.
alton of the debt, principal and in
terest.
The state department argues tina,
when Spain repnquishod her sovereign
ty in Cuba, She relieved that island
of debts contracted to keep her in bond
age.
This construction, it is said, is affirm
ed in the notes which passed between
the two disputing commissions wher
the treaty was under discussion il

Shoe Leather Up and Rising.

New York, Sept. 23.-The price of
shoe leather has gone up from ~ to 5
per cent with the last week, owing to
the scarcity of cowhide material. Shoe
manufacturers have signed contracts
with wholesale and retail shoe houses
which will not expire for months to
come, and so the patrons of retail
houses will not feel the advance until
December.
The manufacturers who have bound
themselves by contract will have to be
the sufferers from the rise in the price.
Sole leather has advanced cents per
pound above the market price paid in
August. Still higher prices arc looked
nor by manufacturers. The increased
cost is due to the scarcity of cattle as
compared with the demand.

Harcourt Defends Kruger.

London, Sept. 22.-Sir William Vernon
Harcourt, in the course of the address
to his constituents in New Tredegar,
said he could not read the persistent at
tempts of the war press to aggregate
the Transvaal situation without indig-
nation.
Great Britain" said the speaker,
"cannot claim general sovereignty in
the Transvaal when she has only partial
suzerainty and President Kruger cannot
claim for the Transvaal the position of
an international sovereign state. Both
sides, therefore, have made allegations
which cannot be maintained by either. VI
Sir William Harceurt declared that
there was no casus belli and expressed
the hope that a shameful catastrophe
might be averted.

NOW IT'S ADMIRAL HOW|SON.
Howison 0utranks Sampson and if
Comes May Take Command
He is EXPECTED OCTOBER S.

Washington, Sept 25.-A dispatch
to the navy department from Rear
Admiral Howison is worrying the Off
cials. Admiral Howison, entirely un-
conscious of the CONSERVATION his news
win carry to those who have been as
serting that he will not get to New
York until after the reception of Adj
miral Dewey, announces that he has
left Barbados on the Chicago for New
York. Everything had been arranged
to have Sampson, in his capacity Us the
hero and victor of Santiago, greet his
brother hrro of Manila. Admiral
Schley will be in New York at that
time, but in no official capacity He
will be there simply because as an
American citizen he has an inalienable
right to. Nothing had occurred to
mar the spectacle of one hero greeting
another and welcoming him home, I'M
til this disquieting news was received
from Howison. Howison is Samp-
sons senior and if he gets there before
the celebration, he will outrank that
officer and take command. The naval
regulations require it. Howison Is
simply an old friend of Dewey and
would like to be on hand when his
friend has his triumph. The navy de-
partment officials have pointed out,
whenever this danger was suggested,
to Howison's itinerary, which calls for
his arrival on October 5, and have con-
tidently proclaimed that he will not
get there before then, Notwithstanding
the fact that Howison has been ahead
of his schedule right along. They are
now busily engaged in figuring out
that he cannot get to Tomphin sville
in less than eight days, but others
think he can do it easily in seven.

Washington, Sept. 25.-In recogni'
ton of the presence of the foreign ruler
within the country, it is probable that
u representative of President Mckinley
will meet the Mexican president at the
United States border and accompany
him throughout his stay in this coun'
try.
An army officer of high rank is likely
to be selected for this service. No less
than fourteen invitations from thai
many cities have been extended tt
President Diaz to be their guest during
his stay in the United States. But the
understanding among officials in that
he will not be able to accept many Of

Paris, Sept. 22.-The anti-Dreyfusard
newspaper, Soir, had the most sensa-
tional caption, two lines of enormous
letters extending across the entire front
page announcing THE Traitor Dreyfus
Pardoned-Outrage on the Army.
Then, in the course of an article vio-
lently attacking President Loubet, it
said: "Loubet has given himself coup
de grace in pardoning Dreyfus. He
should be prosecuted for committing an
outrage upon the army, for his decision
amounts to this. By a stroke of the pen
he has destroyed the effect of the SEN

clared that two military courts have

Omaha, Sept. 25.-The laying of dust
by the Union Pacific by sprinliling with
oil has been successful so far as dust is
concerned. but has met with a new diff
ficulty which may prove bothersome to
the road.
Sparks from the locomotive have sew
eral times started fires in the oil and
have blown the flames to the grass and
weeds along the right of way, aside
from burning the ties. 1t is said that
the Union Pacific will meet this prob

UNCLE SAM REFUSES GOLD.
VIII Not Take 1t in Exchange for silver
which h IL Scarce Commodity.

which IL IL Scarce Commodity.
Washington, Sept. 29.It may be Al.
astonishing statement to say that the
United States government refuses to
accept gold of its own coinage in ex
change for silver dollars, but that is
what at least one sub-treasurer is ac
tually doing.
The complaint comes from St. Louis,
where the sub-treasurer declines to eX-
change silver dollars except for silver
certificates. Neither gold nor bank
notes will tempt the white coins from
his vaults.
1t is quite possible for the United
States treasury to reach point where
a general order will be issued to all
sub-treasurers forbidding them to eX-
change silver dollars for gold, national
bank notes or any other form of cur
rency except silver certificates.
Uncle Sam presents the remarkable
spectacle of trying to get rid of gold
and boarding silver.
The treasury has on hand S406,5 43G
in silver dollars, but the most of these
must be retained in the vaults for the
redemption of the silver certificates,
which aggregate $406, 1877, 504. This
leaves S3Ss,933 in silver dollars in the
treasury and its branches that are not
covered by notes.

New York, Sept. 23.--News paper has
gone up quarter of a cent within the

The tendency is to raise the price still
higher. The advance is due partly to
the drouth of last summer, which seri-

paper mills. Book paper has also gone
up quarter of cent pound, and let

to cent a pound.

Washington, Sept. Collaboration

that there is no truth in the reports OF
an alliance of the South and Central

American governments is, if possible,
to make closer the friendliness existing
between themselves and the great re-
