Reduced Duties on French CordiaIs.

The Secretary of the Treasury has decid-
ed that certain spirits known as "cordials.
liquors., arrack, "absinthe" etc which
under the commercial treaty with France
signed May 13, 1898. are admitted into this
country at a reduction in the customs duty
from 1925 per proof gallon to 81. 10, are not
entitled to the same or any privilege under
the treaties recently negotiated with Portu-
gal, Germany and Italy. The distinction
arises from the fact that while in the En-
glish version Of the French treaty the words
"cordials," liquors." etc. do not appear
the memoranda and representations made
by this government at the time the negotta-
tons were pending did expressly include
them, as did the French version of the
treaty itself, so that it has been held by
the court that they were intended to be in
cluded.
On the other hand, the language Of the
Portuguese. German and Italian treaties.
which Is the same in each, is construed
by the Treasury Department to be limited
by the provisions of paragraph $50 OF the
tariff act. which relates solely to brandies
and other spurious liquors. as distinguished
from paragraph 292 relating to cordiaIs.
liquors, etc.
The effect of this ruling will be that while
France will have the benefit OF the yery
material reduction Of the duties on these
articles, the other countries named will not
be on any better footing as relates to them
than they were previously. 1t is probable
therefore. that new treaties will have to be
negotiated which will put the other coun-
tries on the same footing with France.

Lord Roberts Says That De Vets
Command Has Dwfndled
Down to 300.

LONDON, August 23.-Lord Roberts re-
ports to the war office, under date of Pre-
toria, August %, as follows:
Buffers division marched to Van Wycks-
vlei, fifteen miles south Of Belfast, yester-
day. His casualties were twenty.
''Paget reports from Hamman's Kraal
that BadenPowell engaged Grobler's rear
guard all day yesterday. Grobler was
driven back east of Pinaar's river. Baden
Powell occupied the railway station of that
name. During the fight Baden-Powelrs ad-
vance and that of the enemy galloped into
each other, the Rhodesians losing Colonel
Spreckley and four men killed and seven
wounded. Many of the Beers were killed
or wounded. They were at Cyferkuil this
morning. Plumer and Hickman were close
ly pursuing them.
ut seems certain that De Wet finding 1t
hopeless to make his way eastward, mas
recrossed the Magaliesberg with few
wounded with the Intention of returning
to the Orange River Colony. He is in a
very different condition from that when he
left Bethlehem with six or eight guns and
1000 men. His guns have mostly been
buried and his personal following cannot
be more than 800.
at Is stated that Steyn, with q small
bodyguard, has crossed Pinaar's river on
his way to join Kruger at Machadodorp.
THE Beers yesterday blew up a portion
of the railway at koetZes Drift five miles
north of Newcastle. and damaged the rails
at point thirty miles south of Newcastle. -

SUGGESTS AN AMENDMENT.
Proposed Addition to Section of
Police Regulations.


After considering the complaint of P. j.
Lockwood In reference to injury to bicycles
caused by broken glass, etc, in the street,
Mr.. Clarence A. Brandenberg. assistant at
torney for the District, has transmitted to
the District Commissioners the draft of
proposed amendment to section 4, article 8,
of the police regulations. which already pro-
hibits the throwing Of broken glass into the
streets. as well AS ''crockery, nails, tin or
iron cuttings, hoops. hoop skirts, wagon
tires. wire or ether article or thing liable
to wound or injure man or beast"
Mr.. Brandenberg says it appears that on
occasions glass vessels, not broken at the
time, are placed upon the highways, which
becoming broken thereafter by various
means become quite as objectionable il
placed in the highways in the first instance
in broken condition. The regulation as
1t exists is not broad enough. he says. to
glass vessels upon the highways, which be-
come broken thereafter. The words cor
other article thing" used in the regula-
ton, in his opinion, do not cover cases of
injury to personal property, inasmuch
''other articles or things are limited to
those liable to wound or injure man or
beast" To overcome these defects Mr..
Brandenberg suggests that the article be
amended to read follows:
Sec 4. No person shall deposit. place or
leave in or upon any of such places desig-
mated In section l of this article any glass,
erockery, nails, tin or iron cuttings hoops,
hoop skirts. wagon tires wire or other ar
ticle or thing liable to wound or injure man
or beast or cause damage to personal prop
ertv.''
Mr.. Brandenberg has also rendered an
opinion that the Commissioners are without
authority TO grant the request of Mrs. C.
Kingsley for remission of penalties, in
terest and cost against sublot IL, in square
749.

Raising AlligatOrs I'm Georgia.
rom the Macon News

There are schemes and schemes, but the
latest and most extraordinary Is one pro-
jected by prominent city court official to
make fortune by raising alligators. The
official. who dislikes publicity and prefers
that his name be withheld, is quite serious
In his undertaking and has purchased 300
acres of swamp land near Seven Bridges,
into which he will turn his herd of alliga-
tors. The entire 300 acres is to be closely
fenced In and this work is now well under
way and will be completed by October /.
Thirty-seven alligators have already been
placed OH the farm. and the promoter ex-
poets to realize $500 on his scheme next
year. The alligator Is said to be the most
prolific of all animals. the goat not ex-
cepted, and where there Is a ready demand
for them there is more money in raising
them than any other animal. That there is
demand for them now Is shown by the
fact that the promoter of this farm has now
filed away In his Office more orders for alli-
gators than he hopes to be able to supply

OMAHA'S CENSUS.
It's Population Has Decreased Nearly
~ Per Cent.


The population of the city Of Omaha, Ne
braska. according to the official count of
the returns of the twelfth census, is as fol-
lows:
Omaha city, 102. 555 for 1900 against 14O,-
452 in 1880.
These figures show, for the city as a
whole, decrease in population OF 81, 1897,
OR 269S per cent from 1850 to 1900
The population in 1880 was 30,51S. show
ing an increase Of 199,934, or $50. % per cent
from 1880 to $780,
This is the first decrease in population so
far shown in the enumeration of the cities
When Director Merriam of the census
was asked as to 1t he refused to say any
thing but in other official circles the charge
was made that the rolls ten years ago were
padded 1t is claimed that old hotel reg
listers and other devices We're utilized in
swelling the population of the city at that
time.
When the census was taken this year a
plan was adopted by which the people iiv-
ing in every house We're counted. The
books of the insurance companies were
used in order to ascertain just what houses
were in the city, and while an effort was
made to count every individual precautions
were taken against the possibility of swell

POSSIBLE EXTRA SESSION
WHY THE PRESIDENT WILL NOT
VISIT CHICAGO.
Events In the Next Few Days Will
Probably Decide II Actual
War Exists.

While the decision Of the President not
to go to Chicago does not signify neces-
sarily that he contemplates calling Con-
gress together in extra session, 1t indicates
that the possibility Of such action becom-
Ing necessary Is realized. Heretofore, as
grave as the Chinese situation has been
and as great as has been the Presidents
anxiety for the safety Of our people at
Pekin, conditions have not been such as to
compel him to remain In Washington. At
Canton he has been in constant commune
cation by telephone and was as able to
conduct public business from there as he
would have been at the White House. The
pressing necessity OF his remaining In
Washington has developed within the past
day two, since the decision that he
could not go to Chicago was not reached
earlier than yesterday, when he held
long and important conference with Sec
rotary Root and Assistant Secretary Adee.
With the possibility of 1t becoming neces-
sary to call an extra session of Congress.
the necessity of the Presidents remaining
In Washington would be apparent
What appears to be the fact is that the
administration is not in possession of In
formation of sufficiently definite character
to warrant a determination today whether
there is need for the meeting Of Congress,
but what is known of the situation in Chi
ma suggests the wisdom of being prepared
to issue call for Congress Immediately
upon knowledge of developments which
would render it necessary. The Chinese af-
fairs have reached that crisis where within
twenty-four hours conditions may take a
turn one way or the other So little is
known of the disposition Of the Chinese
government that there is no means Of judg
ing whether the reply sent to Ii Hung
Chang will be received in compliant spirit
or one Of defiance, and the worst must be
prepared for.
stage has been reached where events
move rapidly at the seat of military opera
tons. and If there Is not speedy collapse
of Chinese resistance the fact that war ac-
tualy exists cannot long be ignored. The
tility in China will be broken by the vigor-
Gus course Of the allied forces, and that
the Chinese government, recognizing the
sentiments of justice which inspire the
United States government. will at once
come to terms; but this hope cannot be re-
lied on with security.

A POSSIBLE CLUE.
Hat and Coat May He Means Of I'm
raveling a Mystery.

Hat and Coat May He Means Of I'm
raveling a Mystery.
The finding of hat and coat suspended
from the branch of a tree in the vicinity
of the mouth of the big sewer which
empties into the river off Easby's Point.
near the foot of oath street, has created
the impression among the police that the
owner Of the articles has ended his life.
The name II. H. Weldon appeared in an
account book found in the pocket of the
coat and on page Qf the book was Erit-
ten the message;
Good bye to, jail, May the Lord have
mercy OIL me. Goodbye to ALL
Weedcn's address. was given as the Con-
duit road. The articles were found by
Howard Thomas of ,9e3 New York avenue
and Joseph Turper Of sis 9th street north
west. who were, on the flats cunning for
reed birds and, ortplan. They reported
tkeir find to the police, and Onicer Stem
to the first precinctf station. While the
officers were upabie to get any description
of Weldon thissafterhoon they believe the
body of the unknown man found in the
his, although the coat found today Is not
made of goods similar to that In the pants
and vest on the body referred to.
Weldon, whose name Is in the account
BOOK, IS a SteaHulleE Oy trade, and for
merly worked for the firm of w. w. BigSs.
who is in business at 1416 Pennsylvania
avenue. He was there more than a year
ago. and at that time his home was on the
Conduit road. 1t Is stated that he after
ward worked at Fort Washington.
The point where the hat and coat were
found is at the extreme south end of the
flats, and had the man jumped in the river
there it is likely that his body would have
landed on the rocks where the body was
found Sunday afternoon. Unless that body
proves to be that of Weldon the police viii
make search for the body tomorrow
morning.
A policeman from the seventh precinct
learned from Weedon's brother that the
owner Of the coat and derby hat had lived
on the Conduit road. Recently he had been
employed on dredging machine which was
working not far from the point where the
wearing apparel was found He was
twenty-four years old and was unmarried.
