Ma my Photography.

A Paris photographer has introduced
a novel style of taking photographs,
which he calls mummy photography.
The subject is swathed in mummy cere-
ments, put into genuine sarcophagus
imported from Cairo, and pictured in
an upright position. "A smiling, living
face looking out from embroidered
grave clothes gives an odd effect. No

CONFERENCE PROPOSED.
Cabinet Considers the Present Out
break In Samoa.

WASHINGTON, Jan, 20-AH of the
members of the cabinet We're present at
teday's meeting. The situation in Sa-
moa was under discussion. but in the
absence of any official or late informa-
ton it is thought no action will be
taken at once, beyond asking for a
conference between the ambassadors
of the three powers which have Joint
Jurisdiction over the islands under the
present treaty
The state department is moving with
due elaboration, yet with frmness re-
Specting the adjustment of conditions
in Samoa, and is directing all of its eff
forts to the use of lawful and regular
means to settle succession at Apfa. In
fact, it was this insistence upon the
conformity of all parties to the tripart-
lite agreement to the terms of the docu-
ment, so long as It stood unaboIished
and unamended, that has made it's
position so strong at this juneture.
There Is still a lack of official report
on the stirring events at Apia. A brief
statement has reached the department
through the United States dispatch
agent at San Francisco, but so far as
can be gathered, it is not yet known
Just why Chief Justice Chambers de-
cided that Mataafa, the German candf-
date for the succession to the throne OF
Samoa was ineligible. It is suspected
here that the decision was based on
the use of improper influences by out
side but interested parties In the cleo
ton of the king. If this is established,
il would be sufficient to diSquaify Ma
taafa under the terms of the treaty
which expressly provides for an I'M
tt ammeled choice by the natives.

EXPRESS TAXES TAKEN UP
HOUSE COMMITTEE GRANTED A
HEARING TO THE COMPANIES
YESTERDAY
Only One Representative Appeared,
His Protest Being Directed Chief
~ at the Dyer Bill Proposing an
Increase on Gross Earnings Tax.


His Protest Being Directed Chief
~ at the Dyer Bill Proposing an
Increase on Gross Earnings Tax.
The house committee on taxes and
tax laws granted a public hearing to
the express companies; yesterday on
the two bills which were introduced,
providing for a gross earnings tax of
8 per cent. by Mr.. Dyer Rep.), of
Pipestone, and anethersbill introduced
by Mr. West, of Austin, which pro-
vided for the taxing of the companies
On their property. Thursday still an
other bill had been introduced by Mr..
Gutterson, of Blue Earth. but this was
quite complex and, as the companies
had had no opportunity to famiiiarize
themselves with it, this was left out
of the discussion.
Only one representative of the ex-
press companies addressed the COM
mittee, Division superintendent Aver
ILL., of the United States company, who
addressed himself especially to the
gross earnings tax He said that the
companies practically paid 8 per
cent gross earnings tax now, as, while
the amount paid by them to the rail-
road companies was deducted by law
in making up their exemption, it was
taxed by the gross earnings tax en-
forced against the railroads, so that
the state secured its percentage ultf-
mately, in any event
The 3 per cent tax, he said, was all
that the express business could bear,
as the companies had to pay from 40
to 66 per cent of their gross receipts
to the railroad companies, the con-
tracts averaging about sc per cent
Out of this must be paid all the ex-
penses of the company, including not
only the messengers on the trains, but
the service at local offices, which
amounted practically to 10 per cent of
the receipts. The department Of losses
and claims was a considerable ex-
pense, and the auditing system made
necessary by the mtrIcacy OF the bust
ness connections. which was a fixed
and constant expense. AFTER all these
things were figured up. he said, there
was practically nd profit left In the
business. Besides, he did not see why
express companies should be taxed
per cent, when railroad companies
were taxed but 8. He invited the COM
nfttee to make thorough invsstiga-
ton OF the express cOmpany's bust
ness, assuring the members that the
companies would do everything in
their power to give the committee anv
information needed. He would be
glad to answer any questions that
might suggest themselves.
Messrs. Staples and Jacobson thought
The Saint Paul globe. (St. Paul, Minn.) 1896-1905, 1899-01-21

the hearing had elected little mate
rial information, and suggested to Mr..
Averin that, at the next public hear
ing on these tax bills, which was
finally set for next Friday evening, he,
or some other representative of the
companies, come with reasons why
some one of the bills taxing express
companies should not be passed.
Mr. Jacobson wanted the gross earn
ings bill decided upon as the choice of
the committee, but Representative
Gutterson opposed riding over his bill
without giving it the ceremony of civil
burial. At last it was decided to lay
the matter over.
Mr. Dwinnells Rep.), of Hennepin,
bill for a revision of the tax laws was
hung up to await the action of the
senate on a similar bill pending in
that body.
Mr. Fosnes Onion), Of Big Stone,
asked that his bills be laid over till
he was able to appear before the COM
nlittee.

GruesOme Find on Goat Island
SAN FRANCISCO, Jan. 20. = Con-
tractors employed in government con-
struction work on Goat island today
unearthed eight skeletons. 1t is
mystery how they came there, and
there are several wild stories afeat.
One is that Goat island, which is now
a government reserve, was the haunt
of pirates, and that much buried treas
ure is hidden on the island Another
IS that the island was used by the
Spaniards in early days as a burying
ground Several attempts have been
made to locate the hidden treasure
but without success The skeletons
unearthed today are of enormous pro-
portions, few being less than six feet
six inches long.

objected to the reference and requested
that it be sent to the committee on
general legislation. He did not state
what his reason was, but his measure
could certainly have received no worse
treatment at the hands of the railroad
committee than it did at the hands of
the committee on general legislation.
