lent Of the tax rate for this year,

h be increased, owing to the large ap-
Eoprlations. but happily, this fear has
mred unfounded and a slight de-
aease is noted rather than the dread
ID Increase.

pany, made application to the Dominion

They have just returned from that
country and state that 1t abounds In

Anthracite coal also was discovered.
The gentlemen state that 1T is probably
the most highly mineraiizsd territory In

was that the wnter courses run at right

THE BURGLAR FLED.

Bath. September 16.--A burglar entered
the home Of the Misses Manson, 10 Gar
den street. Saturday night. but beat a
hasty retreat when he found that there
was someone at home. About eco O'Clock
Miss Ada Manson, who Is alone just now
while her sister, Mtss veturia, is away
on a VISIT was up stairs in the bath
room taking bath Her house down
stairs was all dark and the only room in
the whole house lighted was the bath
room where the curtains were tightly
drawn. The first thing she heard to
attract her attention was noise at the
back door as If someone was tryi 1g to
force 1t. After repeated unsuccessful at
tempts she heard the party break paae
Of glass n the adjoining room, release the
bolt and enter. She recognIzsd the tread
to be that OF man.
He walked all about the horss down
stairs, without disturbing things very
much. Then he came up stairs and went
from room TO room. Finally he came to
her door which was bolted. She asked
what was wanted. The fellow replied 81
want you" Thereupon Miss Manson
raised the window and sh outed for help.
The burglar then Immediately skipped
down stairs and out Of doors. As he
passed out into the street Miss Manson
caught glimpse Of him and believes she
could recognize him II she ever could see
him again.

TRIAL OF CONsPIRATORs.
First steps I'm Action Against De
Rouletie.

Paris, September 1s.-The Senate met
as high court of justice today at 2
p. M. for the purpose Of trying ~ politic-
ians, including NJ. de Monicourt de
Roulede, MARCEL -Habert, Theibaud, Baron
de Vaux and Jules G uerin, on the char xe
of conspiracy against the government
The prosecutor-general, M. Bernard,
read the long Indictment, which lasted
from $50 until p. M, when the Senate
entered into secret session to discuss
the indictment and determine the ques-
tions relating to the preliminary inquiry
which is to be ordered.
On the resumption OF the public sit
ting, III. Fallieres announced that the
Senate had decidsd by vote of 234
against 80 to allow prisoners TO be repre-
sented by counsel, during the preliminary
inquiry, but that the question of the
competence OF the Senate to sit as a high
court TO try the charges had been ad-
journed until after the conclu.ion Of the
preliminary inquiry.
This is tantamount to an adjournment
of the hign court for several weeks at
least Most of the Senators were present
when the announoeme ent was made
The general comment In the Senate
lobbies was that the Indictment displayed
the ridiculous but still criminal chhrac-
ter of the royalists intrigues to overthrow
the republic.

President NV Con-
sidering To- Protest.
Order Was Issued As a Military
Necessity.

Washington, September is.-Ths Inn
perial Chinese government, through Its
minister here, Mr.. wu Ting Fang, has
lodged with the state department an en-
phatic protest against the military order
OF Gen. Otis, excluding Chinese from the
Philippines. Neither the state department
nor the Chinese legation will give any
information concerning the protest, but
from reliable quarters II Is learned that
1t insists that Gen. Otis's action is CON-
trary to International law, In violation
Of existing treaties, and In ccra plete dis
regard of the friepdlv t4.A1ions which
have so long been maintained between
the countries.
Minister Wa called at tbs state DEPART
ment last tiday anu r"ved he
submitted she prots,s AZ - that
time.
The N nl.tsr va .rs .rzht %
the atten tne - rs tas pro-
test gave the subject ..tional
aspect considerably hey md .-s purely
military principles involved. 1t Is stated
that China points out that she has well
coined the recent advent Of the United
States into the afrairs of the far east and
has hoped that this step would prove q
further bond and extend the relations be-
tween the two countries, particularly In
their neighboring possessions. Further
more, IL is understood that among the
specific points of protest submitted by the
Chinese government is one to the effect
that such an order Is departure from
the announced purpose of the President
Of the United States to maintain the pres
ent status OF affairs in the Philippines
until Congress has determined perma-
nent condition.
The military phases Of the question
have been referred to Secretary Root
Owing to his familiarity with inser-
national law he will probably consider
the subject broadly, both in its interna-
tional as well as its military aspect.
Gen. Otis's order was issued some time
ago, without direction from Wash ngtoa
and apparently as n military necessity,
although the Chinese protest urges that
there, is no such military necessity, but
on the contrary that the Chinese have
rendered valuable military assis tsnce.
Gen. Otls's order is sigued By himself
as military governor OF tie Philippines
and BY Brigadler General Charles A.
Whitaker as collector Of custome, hay
ing SUI ervision of Chinese affairs.
1t Is understood that the Chine-e gov.
erument regards tie outcome of this pro-
test with much apprehension. 1t is point
ell out that the Chireze have teen long
established In the Philippines, and that
considerable branch of the Industry of
the islands is conducted by them and that
this complete termination of long es-
tsblishei communication between China
