PEACE BY ARBITRATION.
The Views of Ex-Presidcn,s Cleveland

The Views of Ex-Presidcnts Cleveland
and Harrison.
s. BOSTON, April 5.-Among the COM
munications received by the United
Society OF Christian Endeavor recently
5 In connection with Its proposition for a
War against War and Peace by Arbi-
tration.n are two from former United
States Presidents Grover Cleveland and
Benjamin Harrison.
+ Ex-President Cleveland wrote: THE
members and the friends OF the Society
of. Christian Endeavcr has never enter
ed upon an Undertaking so practical
and noble as the effort they are now
making to secure an abandonment Of
war as a means for the settlement OF in
sternational differences: and II there Is
any substance to the claim that our IN
{stitutlons and the traits that character
lie us as q people tend to national ele-
walton and christianization It is emf
nently proper that our country should
{ be in the lead in any movement in the
interests of peace"
Ex-Presldent Harrison's letter says:
myself. and much more for the
great body of,its citizenship. express
the desire OF America for peace with the
whole world. 1t would have been vain
to suggest the pulling down of block
houses or family disarmament to the
settlers on hostile Indian frontier.
They would have told you rightly that
the conditions were not ripe, And so it
may be and Is probably true that a full
application Of the principle Is not pres
emily possible, the devil still being I'M
chained.
1T is by spirit Of love and forhear-
ance mastering the civil institutions and
governments OF the world that we shall
approach universal peace and adopt
arbitration method of settling dis
putes."

THE MONEY ORDER BUSINESS
ofEspress and Telegraph Companie.
not Subject, to War Tax.

VI Express ana Telegraph Companies
not Subject to War Tax.
Internal Revenue Commissioner Will
son has forwarded ruling on the spe-
cial tax liability Of agents of express
and telegraph companies which. is OF
far-reachlng Importance. The ruling
settles a long disputed Interpretation
OF the Internal revenue law known as
the war tax law, and affects other in
terests besides those Of the express
and telegraph companies. The ruling is
in regard to tn taxabillty OF agnts
OF express and telegraph companies on
account OF the money order business
transacted by them. It has been held
by bankers that the transaction OF q
money order business by these compan-
les was virtually banking business,
and that each agent Of these companies
should pay the special bankers tax.
Commissioner Wilson takes an oppos-
Ing view, and his decision is In favor
OF the express and telegraph compan-
les. In his ruling he says:
THE fact that they tthe agents Of
express and telegraph companies) re-

for transmission to other points does
not constitute the business OF banking,
nor warrant the acceptance Of special
tax returns from these companies. no
credits being opened on the receipt of
these moneys, and there being, there
fore, wanting IN essential feature of
the definition of banker as 1t Is found
In the first paragraph OF section 9, of
the Act Of June 13, 1898.
Even II these transactions were such
as to warrant the collection Of special
tax from these companies as bankers,
(Which Is not the case. In view OF the
statutory definition. which Is control
ling In this subject). the special stamp
tax taken out at the principal office
OF the express or telegraph company
could not cover the business done at
Its various agencies throughout the
country. The only special liability In
which these companies, or their agents,
could be involved by reason of the NOM
ey order business done by them Is that
of the brokers. under the second para
graph of section . OF this act; and they
cannot be held to this liability unless
the money orders held by them are ex-
change within the meaning of this
word as 1t Is used In the definition OF
brokers, contained In this statute. In
the definition OF exchange in the COM
mercial law, as the transfer Of funds
from one person to another, at price
agreed upon or fixed by commercial
usage. 1t Is stated that the transfer Is
mnde by means OF an instrument which
represents such funds, and is well
known by the name Of blu Of ex-
change
Upon examination of the form OF
money orders sold by the agents of eX-
press or telegraph companies. am of
the opinion. and SO hold. that these
money orders are not bills Of exchange
in contemplation OF the statute, and
that, therefore, these companies are not
required to pay a special INK as BAN
kers by reason of the money order bus
mess carried on by them at their var
ious agencies throughout the coun-

III Porto Rico, but There is no Danger
OF an Outbreak.
SAN JUAN DE PORTO RICO. March
27.-Although there is not at present
any danger OF seriouc disturbances,
there is much dissatisfaction among the
lower class natives Throughout. the Is
land. and there has been good deal OF
violent talk BY the ignorant against the
new regime. The chief cause OF this
ant-American feeling Is the increase In
the cost OF living since the American
occupation began and the ill-trentment
that many OF the natives In the country
districts hav, received at the hands Of
roughs soldiers.
Dissatisfaction is also expressed at
the delay In making the island a part
or 4 territory Of, the United States. with
the privileges and advantages that
would accrue to the island from such a
relation, especially. in the matter Of
trade. IL

CHINESE POLICY OF
ENGLAND AND AMERICA

NEW YORK, Oct 29.-The Suns Lon
don cable says: The Central News says 1t
learns that there is definite understand
ing between Great Britain, the United
States and China regarding the Anglo
Saxon policy in the Far East, and tha t
the Chinese Government has received an
assurance that the British and Americans
will maintain the policy of the open door.
Negotiations affecting details on this
principle are, according to the Central
News, proceeding between Peking, Wash
ington and London.
Times-Herald from Washington says:
The United States has demanded from the
Governments of Russia. Germany and
France assurances that in their division
ton or spheres of influence the trade
rights of citizens of this country
shall be fully respected. These demands
are pretty sure to be acceded to, and as
soon as the necessary correspondence can
be passed with the Washington and the
three European capitals it is not doubted
that the desired assurance will be given
by the Governments named. In fact. a
tacit understanding to this effect already
exists and little remains to be done but to
decide upon the form in which the assur-
ances shall be given. There was some lit
tie surprise In diplomatic circles when
the demands of this Government were
presented through the embassies here, but
no sign of extreme diSpleaSure or of in
tention to resist was manifested in any
quarter. This move for making sure Of
trade in China, for assuring ourselves
that all our treaty rights would
be respected under the proposed rear
rangement of actual authority along the
coast of China, was entered upon by the
administration in no light or casual man
ner, but only after full discussion and
careful consideration of all the possibiIi-
ties Now that there is practically a Ger
tainty of a successful issue it is felt that
a great stroke has been made for Ameri-
can trade and influence.
