IMPRESSION ON BOSSISM
He Comments Characteristically on
 Hanna's Recent Remarks.

Cleveland, O., May 9.-Former May
 or McKisson, in an interview here to-
 day, says Senator Hanna is the great
 est political boss in this city, state
 and nation. This charge was made
 because of a recent utterance of the
 ism.
 ''In his own mind" said the ex- mayor. Hanna believes that any man
 who does not bCiH tc. Hannaism, boss ism and boodIeism is against the na- tional administration and President Mckinley. He objects tct the opposi- ton of the people, because he is for Hanna, and Hanna aicne; because he thinks that he is the whole republican party and the sum total of the na- tional administration. Every one that speaks out truthfully about him is con sidered an enemy Of the &Gministra- tion. Hanna today is at the head Of a corrupt syndicate composed Of him. self, the Belmonts, and a few other ccrporationists, who are seeking to put the entire business of the country cn a trust basis and to make al the ends of the government subservient to the trust, of which they are the head.
 '@The time has come when Mark Hanna and his trIst association must be eliminated from the politics of this country, not onIy for the welfare of the administration, but the welfare of the republican party, and the citizens of the country as well. have every reason to believe that President Me- Kinley has long ago became disgusted with the tactics Of this would-be boss If creation, and is seeking an early cl- pcrturity to rid the administration of his influence This Hanna c0nnbin9- tion, howeve-, has So deeply inter woven itself into all the different branches Of the government that I believe even the president will be powerless to act, and that nothing. short of the power of the people will be able to overthrow them"
 The ex-mayor said further that Hanna is for Nash, with Daugherty for second choice.

Paris. May 9-Tie transfer of the exhibition site on the Quai d'Orsay, upon which the American building will be erected, was made to the United States commissioner. Ferdinand w Peck. this afternoon. The ceremony, which Twas 9 simple enc, 'dcok place in the presence Of Alfred Picard com missioner general Of tho exposition, and others. Immediately after the transfer the stars and stripes were hoisted over the site M Picard, in a brief address, transferring the site for the American building, told MT. Peck that he was happy to see the United States conquer, if only temporarily, territory of France. He was hattcred to be permitted to preside at a cere- mOny which he believed would lead to the tightening of the bonds Of friend ship and sisterhoOd that united the two great republics. He added that he hoped sincerely the United States would show France and the world what they still had to learn, and where they must gci to acquire knowledge M. Picard concluded by expressing the hope that Americans would flock to the exhibition and contribute largely to it's success. The site was then marked by four American flags
 4 curious coincidence was that the Spanish sites, which were the only others yet occupied, were taken pos session Of by the commissioners of that country this morning, and that their flags are waving side by side with the stars and stripes.

Must Now Pay a Bonus C,f One-Third
 of One Per Cent to Get Charter.

Harrisburg, Pa, May 9.-Hereafter all Pennsylvania corporations will be relieved of the Limitations heretofore imposed by the laws of the common
 wealth as to amount CT capital stock, but while the commonwealth removes the restrictions as to capital, care is taken to provide a uniform tax for the incorporation of all companies, except building and lean associations. Heretofore steam and street railway, turnpike, bridge and cemetery com panies have been exempt from the bonus on charters, but thsy will now be required to pay one-ttIrd of 1 per cent on the authorized capital stock before they get their charters.
 The time has passed when compan- ies could take out a charter On the in stall1nent plan and pay the state when they got ready. Under the new law 1t is ''cash in advance" One-third of 1 per cent must also be paid on in- creases of capital stock. and this af- fleets all companies under whatever law incorporated. Certain companies were incorporated under acts which made the bonus on their charters one fourth of 1 per cent, but all increases come under the new general law, and one-third of 1 Fer cent VIII be the uniform bonus on original charters and increases of capital stock

Charles Dickens, in his novel entitled
Martin Chuzzlewit,' the only work of
fiction he wrote dealing with the United
States and its inhabitants, mentions town
on the Mississippi River which he calls
Eden The village upon which he satiric-
ally bestowed this name was neither really
known under that appellation, nor was it
by any means as pleasant and beautiful
place as the word Eden would naturally
imply Quite the contrary as will be read
lily understood by those who read the story
mentioned.
Martin ChuzZlewit, investing all of his
money-sl5O-in several lots in Eden, TN

splendor and magnifcence, town where
business was ever at the height of activity,

and found only small village, situated
in a very swampy district. with limited
number of rude log cabins and other
structures standing in Il clearing. instead
of the many business houses. splendid
dwellings, beautiful parks, churches, acad-
emies, and theatres. he was greatly disap-
pointed, aid Immediately realized that he
had been grossly imposed upon.

who exerted themselves TO the utmost in
trying TO make their scheme successful.
