POSTAL OBJECTS.
viii Not Take Retaliatory Measures
Against Railroad Assessors.

Manager Thomas Of the Postal Tele-
graph company has received the follow
ing letter from superintendent Paine of
the company:
Referring to the article published in
the Topeka state Journal concerning
taxation of telegraph property in the
state of Kansas notice the Western
Union officials are quoted as saying the
Postal company will stand with the
Western Union company in making a
nSht against the 1900 taxes. VIII you
please ask the paper to place US in
correct light before the public and to
say that the Western Union people, if
they are quoted correctly, have abso-
lutely no authority or right to make any
such statement pertaining to the Postal
company.
The state board of equalization knows
the position of the Postal company in
the matter of taxation. and while we
feel the rate of value placed upon our
property is excessively high, and is in
TACT much higher than in any other
state except one west of the Alleghenie5
mountains, it is not the policy of this
company to attempt to obtain what it
considers to be justice, by retaliatOry
measures. We simply presented the
facts concerning our property and af-
fairs in Kansas. The board did not see
fit to agree with US, though we think
that personally some of the members
of the board are fair enough to admit
| Lie COII6ClneSS OIL our statements ana TO
agree that the valuation placed
upon our property by the
board of the past three years
has been excessively high and not war
ranted by the facts We distributed
nearly $4,000 more in Kansas last year
/ than we took out of the state. Two
years ago we contemplated a number
/ of extensions in the state of Kansas.
| We have not made any extensions and
! cannot afford to make any so long as
the present valuation is placed upon
| our property and the present treatment
| is accorded US.
In substances, this is our position, but
we would like to have it made clear that
this company will not combine with any
other company in the matter of fighting
| taxation and will not do more at present
in the matter of taxation in Kansas than
| to show to the proper state officers an
| absolutely correct statement of its entire
| affairs within the state, which it has done
and rely. upon the honesty and integrity
| of the state officials to treat US fairly.
! I might add, it is not the policy os this
company to attempt to in any way in
huence the votes of its employees.

CONFESSION MADE.
Regarding Embezzlement of
Cuban Postal Funds.

Havana, May 1O.-The postal frauds
have now reached a point where within
the next few hours arrests will proba-
bly, be made and it is believed a. consid-
cradle sum will be recovered at the
same time. One of the culprits has
made a complete confession conditional
upon being accepted as states evidence.
What he says proves conclusively what
was known before that several others
besides G. F. w. Nicely, are implicated.
The exact dates have been obtained by
the authorities The latter refuse to
give the name of the man who has con-
fessed. but though shocked at the ma
ture of the cold-blooded swindle they
are still glad that they have evidence
to completely justify their action in re-
gard to Nicely.

extent of country and does a large bus
mess in foodstuffs. The new crops OF
mealieS and I4affir corn were, fortunate
ly, on the market rather earlier than US
ual, and the Kimberley granaries were
more than usually full. Some further
foodstuffS were stopped in transit. and
there were even a thousand bags OF
maize meal consigned to the Transvaal
government which its own operations
caused to be detained for the benefit Of
the garrison. The De Beers company.
moreover had some three thousand
cattle, and when the cattle were eaten
there were many horses to fall back
upon.
Thus, by what may be regarded as a
series of happy accidents, Kimberley
was able to '-muddle through" and, in
fact, could have held out a few weeks
longer, though, of course, under stress
of terrible privations- Apparently the
thing to be most seriously feared was
the giving out of coal and water. The
Beers very early in the siege cut off
the water supply from the Vaal river,
but here again the De Beers company
came to the rescue by pumping water
from the mines. In many other ways
that great corporation made its inftll-
ence beneficially felt. Its refuse heaps
were the breastworkS of the town, its
galleries were bombproof shelters for
panic stricken women with their little
ones; its coal not only supplied water,
but worked the searchlights; its ma
chine shops. under the direction of Mr.

DEATH OF A NOTED NEGRO.

[F'rom the New Orleans Times Democrat
Henry Demas, the BLACK Prince of ST.
John the Baptist and St James parishes,
died yesterday morning at s O'clock at
his home. 1713 Canal street. DemaS has
peen III Ior InonthS with an anectlon OF
the heart that developed dropsy, and since
October last has been unable, save for one
night, to lie down He slept at the rare
and brief times when he could sleep, and
suffered intensely during all this period.
He was conscious to the end, and when it
came, he asked his wife to help him to
bed. She did so, and Demas. expressing
qualification that death was so soon to
put an end to his sufferings, fell over on
the pillows and expired.
Henry Demas was. born a. slave in the
parish of St. John the Baptist When 10
years of age he entered the Union army,
served as a corporal, and received an hon
orable discharge at the close of the war.
His political career began Immediately on
the Acknowledgement of the negro, and in
1868 he was elected constable Of his par
ish. Two years later he was elected to
the house OF representatives, serving
until 1874 when he entered the state SEN
ate. where he remained eighteen years,
being defeated and his career in state
politics ending in 1892. He was treasurer
of the school board of st. John the BaD-
fist parish for ten years, and for a con-
siderable time was on the board of tr7ls-
/ tees of the Southern university, the ne
gro state college. He was a member of
the Constitutional convention of 1879 be-
ing one of the leaders of his party in that
body. In the legislature and in the con-
vention he showed a keen knowledge of
parliamentary law
He served as a captain of the state ma

much bitterness connected with his politi-

Republican state central committee, and

PAPER TRUST FIGHT
Is Given Start by Petition of Pub
fishers.

Washington, May 1O.-The petition of
newspaper publishers relative to the
price of printing paper has been pre-
scented to the ways and means COM
mittee. Mr.. Reynolds, of Nevada, pro-
posed an inquiry, as follows:
Whereas, complaint is made that
the price of paper in the United States
within a recent period has been nearly
doubled, and
Whereas, the association of news
the United States for relief, claiming
that the increase in price has been oc-
casioned by a combination of the va
rious paper mills and pulp factories of
the country,
Resolved, that the committee on
ways and means fix the last Wednesday
of May, 1900, for the hearing of such
complaint, and meanwhile the secretary
of the committee is directed to give
newspapers and to the various paper
companies and pulp companies of such
hearing, and the secretary of the COM
mittee he directed TO call upon such
paper companies and pulp companies
for information as to the total amount
paid during the calendar year ending
December 81, 1899. by such companies
for interest on bonds, dividends on
stock, taxes and wages to employees,
the rates paid for wages to be CLASH
fed according to the amount paid, and
also a statement showing the total re-
ceipts for paper sold and the expenses
of operating during the year"
After some discussion the matter was
referred to the subcommittee on Gus
toms, consisting of Messrs. Payne, Dali
zell. Hopkins, Grosvenor, Richardson
and Robertson
