TAXATION OF DOGS.
Suit Begun by Prosecuting Attorney Walsh
to Test the New Law.


to Test the New Law.
At the last Legislature an act was
passed entirely changing the system of
the taxation of dogs in the townships.
Under the old system the dogs in the
different townships were assessed to
their owners on the tax roll and IA fund
thus created for the purpose of paying
damages occasioned by the killing of
sheep by dogs. The new law did away
with the placing of any assessment up
on the tax rolls and created the Office
of Dog Warden, and provided that the
owner of every dog should pay year
ly license, which, after deducting the
dog warden's fees, would be paid into
the township treasury to create fund
for the payment of damages the same
as under the old act. There has been
great deal of uncertainty as to
whether this law went into effect this
year or next, and whether the law is
good or not. This has resulted in con-
fusion in some townships OF the county
as some continue to act under the old
law and some have proceeded under
the new act. Prosecuting Attorney
Walsh has begun n suit in the circuit
court TO test this law. He has COM
menced proceedings against the dog
warden of Emmett to compel him to
perform his duties under the new act.
The defense will be that the law is not
yet in operation. The case will be
heard before Judge Vance on Saturday
of this week. The decision will be of
interest to all townships of the county.

FOR HUNTINGTON'S PLACE.
NJ. Z. ingalls,, Maine Born Man,
Among Those Mentioned.

New York, September Speculation
as to who will succeed the late Coils P
Huntington in the presidency of the
Southern Pacific railroad was renewed
yesterday with added zest by the publi-
cation of dispatch from London which
asserted that the new president would be
a man who had not hitherto been iden-
titled with the management,
when Mr.. Huntington was pinched
in the panic of 1892, - it was cabled. he
was forced to let go large part OF his
securities to raise money. Messrs, Speyer
advanced him large sums. The Southern
Pacific stock which they then obtained,
together with their recent purchases, give
these bankers a controlling interest in
the road. While Mr.. Huntington was
alive Messrs. Speyer were content to
have him keep the presidency, although
they believed a change in the manage
ment of the Southern Pacific was adVis-
able"
1t was added that while James Speyer
was in Europe the news came of Mr..
Huntington S death, and that Mr.. Speyer
and his brother decided to offer the va
can't presidency to a man ''whO is now
president Of one OF the greatest roads in
the East"
Guesses at the identity of the man
were rife all day yesterday in Wall street,
| but according to the best information
obtainable the London story was an ire.

-Four; w. ii. Truesdale, president OF the

Long Island railroad, were each report

Speyer. There was practically no basis
Tor these rumOrs.
A Tribune reporter was informed by
10 in fhaf roff1
lection had been made and, moreover,
| that meeting of the directors to fill the
office would not be held for soma time.
The men who had been spoken of as
likely to succeed Mr.. Huntington said
they had not been consulted about the
matter.
''You cannot deny this rumor too EN-.
phatically, was what Mr.. Truesdale
had to say, while Mr.. Baldwin dismissed
inquiries with the terse remark, II have
heard nothing whatever about it." The
Vanderbilt officials said that if Mr..

in their knowledge.

Mr.. Bryan is still troubled by his adj
vice to Democratic Senators to vote for
the Paris treaty. Saturday night he
again attempted to justify it, thisstime
explaining that he desired to eliminate
Spain. AS matter of fact Spain was
bound to do whatever we demanded
whether she wanted to or not. She did
not want to part with the Philippine S
but we told her she must and she did
She was of course a party to the treaty,
she signed it, but we dictated every
word of 1t just as we wanted 1t. There
would have been no more difficulty in
getting Spain to agree to a disposition of
the Philippines similar to that OF Cuba,
than in getting her to transfer her SOW
ereignty over those islands to us. Mr..
Bry IN s explanation looks ike an after
thought. At any rate 1t is a very lame
one, and will relieve him from the re-
sponsibiIity of securing the ratification
Of the treaty in the opinion Of no person
who is familiar with the facts in the case.
We imagine that If Mr.. Bryan should
tell the whole truth it would appear that a
political motive Influenced him to a
large extent. He wanted to make the uIti-
mate disposition of the Philippines a
question in American politics. In this he
succeeded, though at the expense of con-
sistency.

1t appears that neither Russia nor the
United States intends to Withdraw it's
troops from China at present, but only
from Pekin. They will probably remain
at Tien Isin until the Chinese question
is settled, and stable government estab-
lished. Whether the other powers Will
also withdraw from the capital remains
to be seen. AS far as we are concerned
it makes little difference. Our aims can
be as well accomplished with our troops
at lien Tsin as at Pekin, and we shall
be less likely to be drawn into any Eu-
ropean complication which may arise. We
have little doubt, however, that even
tually the other powers will follow the
policy adopted by Russia and the United
States and withdraw from the capital.
The fact is that unless such withdrawal
takes place, and the Chinese government
which fled on the approach of the allies
is allowed to return and establish itself
there viii be no government with which
to treat. The allies might possibly be
able to set one up, but it would last prob
ably only so long as foreign bayonets
were behind it. When they were with
drawn it would fall and treaties made
with it would not be worth the paper
they were written on. Unless the powers
are to permanently administer Chinese
affairs they must negotiate with the
reigning dynasty. and in order to do
that they must permit it to reoccupy the
capital. If negotiations fail, if satisfac-
tory guarantees for the future, and In
dem nifty for the past cannot be secured,
the powers then may have to adopt some
other policy. But under present oondi-
tions the proper course would clearly
seem to be that adopted by Russia AMI
the United States. The power that will
hesitate the longest in asserting to it is
probably Germany, whose war lord has
been apparently cherishing some ambi-
tious designs which he will be reluctant
to give up. England is showing some
hesitancy now, but 1t is due largely to
a suspicion that Russia is not sincere.
When she is convinced that there is no
duplicity in Russias programme she
will undoubtedly assent to it. The
English public have burdens enough
without assuming any new ones in
China, and public sentiment is sure to
be against permanent occupation unless
1t is absolutely necessary to secure
equality OF rights and privileges.
