what will be the tax rate? As u rule our
members of Council own little or no real

very unequal Small properties are as.

take the corn at the time and when he
camc back the farmer had-rssold the corn.
But he could not remember that he had
d ,ne SO as he claimed tina; the groc,r did
not give him any dollar.
Their troubles were told to officer
Charles Hutton and the affair was settled
by the farmer giving tho grocer half
dollar. The farmer says he lost q
half n dollar and John Thompson says
he lost half dollar. Despite the fact
that it rained here yesterday morning the

AMERICANS IN China.
Our Capitalists Will Be Backed by
/ Our Minister at Peking.
no COMBINATION WITH ENGLAND

The Traditional Policy of the state
Department Has Been Pursued in
the Brlce Concessions as in Other
Cases-Chinese Minister Interested.
Washington, July 15.-Secretary Hay
received call yesterday from w. Bar
clay Parsons, the engineer represent
ing the American railway concession
aires controlling the projected railroad
from Canton to Hankow, China. The
Chinese government is ostensibly held
to be obstructing the concessionaires,
but behind that government, and urg-
ing it unwillingly on its course, are
foreign influences, according to Mr..
Parsons, which are striving to secure
for themselves this concession. Mr..
Parsons represented that an English
company holding the concession for
line from Canton to Kowloon was pre-
pared to unite interests with the Amer
ican corporation and effect a COM
bination to maintain themselves
against these foreign influences.
AS result of Mr.. Parsons repre-
sentations the American minister in
Peking has been instructed to use his
good Offices in all proper ways in be-
half of the American company, and to
prevent injury to its interests. There
is no foundation for the report that
this action is taken in concurrence
with that of the British government.
There has been no communication be-
tween the two governments in regard
to the matter, and no joint action has
been asked for by the American COM
pany, and none has been recommend
ed.
The traditional policy of the state de-
partment has been pursued in this 'as
in other cases, the American diplo-
matte representatives being charged to
assist in every way American interests
in the countries to which they are ac-
credited In cases of competition be-
tween different American enterprises
The minister is warned not to favor
one at the expense of the other, but
to exert his good offices in all cases of
contracts and competitions, so that
American interests shall have an
equal chance with other countries.
The Chinese minister, Mr. WI Ting
Fang, stated that he had not been ad-
vised in any official manner of the
combination between the American
and British companies having certain
concessions in China, or of any ap-
peal to the respective governments,
and he did not care to discuss the eff
feet or significance of such moves until
he had learned Of them in an official
manner. The minister is deeply in
terested in everything that relates to
the American concession, as it was
granted through him in April 1898,
after extended conferences with sew
eral of the representatives of the late
Senator Brice. --pA

This is the day of St. Swithn, a me-
teoroloaical saint, to whom Tradition has
given reputation as q weather prophet
similar to that OF the ground hog. In fact,
St. Swithin, who was Bishop of Wncbes-
ter, England, something more than thou
sand years ago. Is to the summer what the
ground hog is to the late win or and early
spring, so far as weather is concerned.
The old adage regarding him Is to tho
effect that if it rains or is fair on St
Swithin's day, July Is. there will be q
continuous tract Of wet or dry weather for
tho forty days coming. The old lines say:
st. Swithin's Day. if thou dost rain,
For forty days it will remain;
St. Swithin's Day, If thou be fair,
For forty days. twill rain nae mair."
