The Claims Commissions.

New YORK, Oct. 16.-A special to the
Herald from Washington says: Negota-
tions are in progress between the Unit
ed States and Chilli which are expected
to result in the signing of another
treaty for the revival of the Chilian
claims commission. Strong efforts will
be made during the coming session of
congress to secure legislation enabling
the president to appoint a commission
to pass upon all claims growing out of
the Cuban insurrection and the war
with Spain. The United States must
settle those of it's citizens against
Spain. These aggregate 100000, 900. The
United States engaged in negotiations
with Russia, Guatemala and Hayti in
regard to the arbitration of claims filed
against those governments by Ameri-
can citizens. The Swiss government has
not yet announced it's award in the
matter Of American citizens growing
out of the seizure of railroad property
at Delagoa bay by the Portuguese gov
ernment

EFFECT OF TAX DECISION


that particular district. in fact, to
levy the school tax is substantially the
same manner as is now done to provide
ways and means for county high
schools. This mode of procedure would
do away with the expense of special
elections. and also be the means of
making the electors more particular in
the election of school trustees.
There are other matters, too, which
might be remedied by special session
of the legislature, and in one particular
the Bozeman school district is vitally
interested. There are a number of chill
dren from outside districts and coun-
ties who come to school in Bozeman
whose parents refuse to pay tuition. 1t
has always been a matter of some
doubt. under the present law, whether
the parents could be compelled to pay
for their children's tuition outside Of
their own district. The Bozeman
schools will not be able to keep open
longer than the end OF this year with
the present amount of money on hand.
However. the board is prepared to
borrow money to run the schools until
June on the credit of the district, and
the chairman states that it has already
made arrangements to that effect,
should Governor Smith decide not to
call an extra session of the legislature.
The county treasurer is in a good deal
of duandary as he has sent out all
his tax notices, but is awaiting results.

Nizayans Are Restless.

Manila, Oct. Is, $40 a. m-Mail ad-
vices from Iloilo state that there is
great tension between the Vizayans
ana Iagalos. growing out of the Tag
alos holding Arenta, the leader of the
Vlzayans, prisoner since the threat
ened Vizayan revolt against Tagalo
domination in the archipelago The
Nlzayans are incensed to the point of
rebellion. While the Tagalos nomi-
nally control only the military organi-
zation of the so-called Filipino repub-
lie, they have crowded out the Vizay-
ans from the civil branch, whereat
there is great discomfort
Inc Iagaios are reported to be con-
centratins the troops in Panay at San
ia Barbara, where Delgado, chief of the
revolutionary government, commands.
with a view of putting themselves in
a position to suppress the Vizayans.
Four thousand Tagalos who have been
held in reserve at CapiZ, in the north
ern part of the province of Panay, last
week embarked in cascoes, the fleets
purpose being to land at Conception,
whence the troops would march to San
ia Barbara. Adverse winds prevented
the landing, however.
General PalionS forces from Buena
Vista are also reported to be going to
Santa Barbara. The insurgents will
have 1000 men and 5000 or 1000 rifles
there General Magbana, according to
letters, plans to attack the suburbs of
Iloilo with this force, carry the city
and slaughter the Americans. A body
of Tagalos. estimated to number be-
tween 500 and 1,000 recently removed
from Santa Barbara to Escalante, on
the island of Negros, for the purpose
of aiding Intepapaisio's bandits in
keeping under the inhabitants, who are
friendly to the Americans.

Special Dispatch to the Standard.
Livingston, Oct. 16.--The effect of the
supreme courts action in the matter of
the special school tax law upon the
schools of Livingston and Park county
is fully as severe as in any portion Of
the state. The city schools must close
in two months from now unless some
relief is afforded by the legislature in
special session. The county superin-

day to Standard reporter that there
was no prospect of running the larger
schools in the county for more than

1T is only the best schools that are
affected" said the superintendent. we
have eight districts in the county which
have voted special tax and these dis
tricts support the best schools in the
county. Livingston is among the rest.
In this latter district only mill tax
was voted, but in some districts they
levied as much as 10 mills by special
tax. The entire special tax in Park
county amounts to $500. OF this
amount $1,130.1 is paid by the North
ern Pacific Railway company. 1t is
safe to say that this will not be paid.
We thought at first that citizens gem
orally would pay the tax without pro-
test. Mr.. Livingston, the county treas
urer, tells me that taxpayers are re-
mitting the special taxes to his Office
and paying the special school tax when
they pay their other taxes, and do this
without protest, because they think
the taxes should be paid to keep the
schools going.
The National Park bank and the
Merchants bank pay 1924 and 1898 of
this tax respectively. Mr.. Talcott,
president of the National Park bank,
has offered to pay his portion of the
special tax but Mr.. Hefferlin, president
of the Merchants bank has refused to
pay. and as the railway people will
very likely refuse to pay, there is no
alternative but to close the schools
Il am in favor Of a special session of
the legislature to remedy the present
law. I conider the interests paramo
to any other affair the state controls,
and there is every reason why prompt
action should be taken
Alva Mayne, president of the school
board of the city of Livingston and
the other members of the school
board are much concerned about the
matter and spoke strongly in favor of
a special session of the Legislature They
could not suggest any other solution
of the difficulty. The schools in Living
ston and in the other districts of the
county will be compelled to close by
January / unless some way is found
out of the dilemma.
