the struggle of a sensitive soul with

THE WAR TAXES.

Official estimates submitted by Sec
Rotary Gage are believed to be quite
sufficient to Justify an attempt to re-
duce the war revenue taxes at the pies
emit session. The secretary, shows that
the surplus for the present year end
ing July / will be about $70,000,O 900.
He estimates in case there is no re-
duction in the tax this surplus will be
increased during the next fiscal year
so as to amount to about SS2,000,0 900.
1t is not supposed the revenues will
increase much during the next year,
but there will be a reduction in the
expenses for the army of something
over $4,000 600.
According to the figures submitted
by the secretary the receipts during
the last fiscal year from stamp taxes
on checks. kilograms, receipts, and
other documents generally classed as
under schedule "A' amounted to SS33S.-
361S,0S1, and the stamps on proprie-
tary articles proauced a revenue of
S5,219,T37 The receipts for the cur
rent year, according to the present in
dications, viii be somewhat less than
this.
The secretary shows that the rev
enue derived from stamps, legacies,
excise on corporations, and mixed
flour amounted for the last fiscal year
to only $40. T24,540. The rest of the
war revenue, bringing the total up to
about 100000, 900, was derived from
the extra taxes on tobacco, beer, and
special taxes on dealers, places of
amusement, etc. E
With a surplus Of only S70,000,000
for the year it is deemed naturally I'M
wise to abolish all the war revenue
taxes, but it is supposed all of the
stamp taxes could be repealed with en-
tire safety, leaving the unusual taxes

gers who arrived on the steamer Bel
gian King a few days ago, and were re-
fused a landing by the immigration
officials, have appealed to the secretary
of the treasury. Pending a reply from

principal reason for their rejection by
the officials is the discovery Of evidence
that the Japanese come here as contract

1t will be noticed that all cases
Investigated and found worthy have
received assistance, either from the
Emergency Fund of the Associated
Charities or from other societies or
by private charity. Also that all
who have applied for work have
found situations.
The manager finds great difficulty
in securing rooms for applicants,
since the Mechanics Home is not
available and Sailors Home is more
than full. One great need of Ho-
nolulu is cheap lodging houses, not
only for those who have recently
lost their homes by fire, but for the
poorer class of our own nation
alities.
A comfortable home has been
found for four incurables, three of
whom are paralytics, who are sup
ported by the Strangers Friend
Society and the American Relief
Fund. The same place might be
open for consumptives, and the
question was referred to the Board
of Health.
A committee of three, Mrs. An.
drew Fulton, Mrs. S. B. Dole and
Mrs. F. j. Lowrey, was appointed to
consider the advisability of increas-

TEDDY SWEEPS ALONG.
Gov. Ro0seveltReaches Cleveland
and Calls ON Hanna.

Chicago, July 6.-Quiet1y and unos-
tentatiously Gov. Theodore Roosevelt
of New York last night alighted from
a Burlington train, having completed
the first stage of his journey home from
the Rough Riders reunion in the far
southwest. Only a, small crowd was at
the station to greet the governor as the
train came in. Governor Roosevelt
went at once to the Chicago Athletic
club, where he rested until o'clock,
when he boarded the Lake Shore train
en- route to Cleveland.
The governor made many speeches
through the day and always to enthu-
SiaStic audiences. The run was from
Quincy on the banks of the Mississippi
to Chicago, through the fertile corn
belt of Illinois. Speeches, some long,
some short, were delivered at Quincy,
Camp Point, Augusta, Plymouth, Ma
comb, Bushnell, Avon, Arlington,
Galesburg, Galva, Kewanee, Princeton,
Mendoza and Aurora Toward the lat
ter end of the trip the governors voice
failed him, and the stops after that
were less frequent At three points the
train sped through at lightning speed,
regardless of the presence of crowds
and brass bands prepared for a dem
onstration. The people at these places
had to be satisfied with a bow and a
wave of the governors hand as the spe-
cial swept past them.
Some of Colonel Roosevelt's speeches
had reference to the question of poll
tics, but in general they were of a pa
triotic character, serving as an after
math of independence day. Apparently
the most endearing term which his adj
mirers can apply to the governor is
Teddy" "Hurrah for Teddy" and
Mckinley and Teddy" has been the
prevailing sentiment of the crowds all
along the line.
HE SEES HANNA.
Cleveland, o., July 6.-Governor
Roosevelt arrived here early today via
the Lake Shore road from the west
He was met at the station by Elmer
Dover, Senator Hanna's private secre-
tary. The governor entered a carriage
and was driven directly to the Hanna
residence where he spent the morning
in conference with the national chair
man. This afternoon Governor Roose-
welt and Senator Hanna will go to
Canton to visit the president
