ENGLAND WITH US.
Ger Reply to Germany's Note the
Same as United States.
Caused . Surprise In Diplomatic Circles.

Lord Salisbury Would Side

London, Sept. 26.-Lord Salisbury
hos replied TO the German note in
terms identical with those of the
United States. The British premier's
decision to refuse to agree to the
terms of the German note was COM
municated verbally to the German
ambassador here, Count Won Haz-
feldt-Wildenberg, during the course
Of q long interview Tuesday after
noon. His lordship's decision is not
known here and the exclusive infor-
nation Of the Associated press prob
ably will not be officially given out
in England until the reply is put on
paper and transmitted to Berlin,
which may be to-day or later.
Only n few officials are cognizant of
what Lord Salisbury said to Count
Won Observation-Disclosures in regard to
the latest developments in the Chinese
question. Official circles here were in
clined to believe that his lordship
would agree whit Germany, but, in
stead of doing so, he used almost ex-
actly the terms in which the Washing
ton refusal was couched, and this, said a
high official to a representative of the
Associated press, sis all the more sur
prising, considering that the WASH
ing officials had not the slightest
inkling of what England's attitude

from China has reached the German
government, but 1t will not be pub

in central and southern China are ex-

OUR FISH GOING ABROAD.
Anne rican Varieties Are Being Large
~ Introduced Into Euro
pean Waters.

There is hardly a well-settled part
of our country where the aid of the fed
eral or state fish commissions have not
been invoked to stock the rivers with
fish. This work, says the New York
Sun, has been of great value and it is
still carried on with so much energy
that our lakes and rivers everywhere,
whose resources in fish were found to
be deficient or in depleted condition,
are likely in few decades or less to TEEN
with fish to the value of many millions
of dollars. But while our home progress
in fish culture is pretty well under
stood it will probably surprise a good
many persons to hear that a number
of European rivers that were once al
most destitute of fish have in recent
years been well stocked with species
propagated from fry obtained from this
country.
About ten years ago young fry of
American landlocked salmon were
shipped to Scotland, and British fish
ermen say they have multiplied rapid
ly, to the detriment of Scotch fish. The
French streams since the introduction
of the American bass have doubled in
their productive value. Other varieties
Of fish have been shipped to France
and elsewhere for experiments. The
American rock bass has been intro
duced into several English streams, and
the brook trout is to-day in a flourish
ing condition in the clear cold streams
of Russia and other northern countries
of Europe. The waters of Switzerland
abound with many American common
river and brook fish, which make the
angling there superior to anything in
the past.

PONY EXPRESS REDIVIVUS.
Hebron, Neb., Witnesses "A Revival of
Famous Old-Time Cross COun-
try Riding.

Forty years ago the great plains of
the west were crossed by set of dar-
ing riders who were known as tie pony
express" History, romance and ira
dition are filled with storiAs of the do
ings of this band of daring aren. But
that was at Time when it was danger
Gus to stroll beyond the parade ground
at Fort Leayenworth unless one had
friendly standing or wholesale con-
tempt for Indians. All others who went
forth might fall victims to war medi-
cine.
With the passing of the Indian as
predatory warrior and his adaptation to
the arts of peace as an actor in an
open-air drama the reason for the pony
express passed also. But out in Ne
braska, says the Chicago Chronicle, the
land of sand dunes, they have recently
witnessed a revival of this pony express.
Not that a lack of railroads has caused
the revival or that Indians abound, but
that the express company at Hebron
has come to the conclusion that a
municipal tax is unwarranted.
Hebron needs money, and has taxed
all companies which do business,in the
corporate limits. The express COM
Pany declined to pay the license and
moved out. So pony express service
has been established between Hebron
and Belyidere. The latter town is bit
more liberal, so the story goes, and the
company is attempting to hold its own
with q few outriders

RUNG ON THE PREACHER.
The Serious Duty That war Imposed
on Church Members I'm a
Michigan Town

"You remember the chestnut bell, of
course?" said the man who, according
to the New York Sun, had got out of
Chicago with only the loss of one of
his shoe heels. well, l was greatly
taken with it at the time, and when L
set out to visit my old home in Michi-
gan / bought dozen bells to take
along. Nobody in the town had heard
of them, but | hadn't worn one over a
day when the people caught on and
l was fairly besieged. When Sunday
came | prepared to attend church like
a dutiful son, and at the proper time
mother and | were seated in her pew.
Just what the text was ! can't remem-
Der, but the minister had scarcely an
nounced it when six of my chestnut
bells sounded among the cOngTega-
ton. The good man didn't mind them
in the least, but went ahead with his
work. He was rung up on his hymn,
and he was rung up every minute or
two on his sermon, and though there
was something amusing about it [
was also half scared out of my boots
AS | had brought the bells to town
didn't know but what he'd hold me
responsible, and open out on me.
About the middle of his sermon he
said something about Jonah, and IL
of those bells went 't-i-n-g!' on him in
succession. He stopped and looked
around, and then calmly said:
Will those people who are jingling
keys kindly jingle little softer?
II was thankful to get out of that
church without calamity" continued
the bell man, 'and l didn't do any
laughing till the next day. Then it
was because L learned that every
blessed man who had rung up the
minister was seriously in earnest
about it and felt it sort of duty, and
because that minister himself called
at the house and accepted my own
bell and rung it up on mother within
five minutes!"

About Personal Taxes.
Colfa1, wash, February sth, 1900

Coliax, WASH, February Sth, l9OO.
Editor HRRALD.-For the information
Of the readers of your paper up
on the matter of personal taxes, and the
tax notices recently sent out through
the mail. / will make the following brief
statement, as my Office is being consid-
ersbly burdened with inquiries regard
ing them.
have sent notices OF the amount OF
personal tax due for 1899 to FIVE thous-
and four hundred persons charged with
personal tax on the tex roll. The law Of
1899 makes the sending OF these notices
in this form and at this time compulsory,
leaving no choice or discretion with me
but 10 send the notices and charge the Is
per cent interest alter the expiration Of
thirty days from the date OF notice. l
am not certain but that strict inter
probation Of the law would compel me to
enforce the payment OF the taxes I'M
paid at the end Of the thirty days, but
rs this new law comes as surprise to
the tax payers, and on account OF the
condition OF the wheat market, and the
general scarcity OF money, | am willing
to take the responsibility for not en-
forcing the payment of the tax by dis
traint Except in eases where there is
reason to suppose there is danger of the
comfy losing the tax, reserving my
right OF discretion in any case), until
June lst at the time the tax on the real
estate becomes delinquent.
There are many inquiries as to why
the tax is higher in 1899 than in 1898.
There are various reasons. The taxes OF
1898 were unusually low. The tax levy
OF this year being identical with that of
1897 There has been general increase
in special levies of the school districts
over the county, for the purpose of meet
ing bonded and other Indebtedness. The
state tax has been increased two mills
in excess of that of last year, the county
one mill TO go to the road and bridge
fund, and fraction more than two mills
to create a sinking fund with which to
help take up the two hundred thousand
bonded Indebtedness of the county, on
which the county is now paying five per
cent interest, or ten thousand dollars
each year, and no other provision for
meeting or reducing it. There has been
fraction of mill taken from the old
levy for the INDECENT soldiers fund, which
makes the increase in the levy of 1899
five mills over that of 1898.
At the present valuation of property of
the county, the two and fraction mills
levy to 90 to the payment OF the county
bonds, will produce, in the two years to
run before the option of the bond can be
taken advantage OF, IRON ntty 10 sixty
thousand dollars. It's unfortunate that
the increase in the levy had to be made
at time when the payment is so diff
cult to meet; this, however, could not
be toreseen at the time it was made.

THE ALABAMA TROUBADoURS.

Another Excellent Show ar Savin Rock
Theater F1reWorks Io-norro"
Night.
The cake walk Is not thing OF the
past in the entertainment line ana Will
not be for a good many years hence.
OF course it makes a difference how
the cake walk is done. Sometimes the
attempts at it are such feeble limitations
that one despairs Of seeing the real ar
ticle, but there are companies OF colored
entertainers who preserve the simple
pure cake walk as a part OF their snow,
and among these prominently are the
Alabama Troubadours who play re-
turn engagement at Savin Rock theater
commencing August 27. When an at
traction is invited to return to this
popular resort the public may make up
it's mind that it is something worth see
ing again, or for the first time. as the
case may be. The best judges OF the
American stage which has many va
ried attractions, are free to declare that
this band of colored entertainers take
the cake in every sense of the word. All
varieties of colored advertisements that
go to make up a southern plantation
programme are found in this attraction
Friday night on the ball grounds a free
display of fireworks will be given.
