loft grandeur for Washington to pay
the first CALI An engagement to dine
had been made, but all day long Hancock
vainly waited to hear the President of
the United States pull his doorben, and
80 had to feast with his satellites with
out the hidden illustrious guest. The sit
uation became oppressive. What was to
be done? One thing only, If the Presi-
dent would not go to the Governor, the
Governor must go to the President, and
thsS &great Massachusetts John went,
sending in advance more or less court
eous apology. 1t was the first State
rights battle, and Washington won.
Then It was settled" says Mr.. Lodge,
that the President OF the new United
States was henceforth to be regarded as
the official superior of every Governor in
the land" General Grant is the only ex-
President who made the tour of the
world. Curiously enough this question
of precedence came up in the first coun
try he visited, England Edwards Pierre
pont, then Minister at ST. James, insisted
that Grant, by virtue of the office he
had held, ranked in court ceremonial all
persons not of royal blood, and the point
was conceded. Thus Washington at
home and Grant abroad settled forever
the question of Presidential precedence.
SO great have the United States become

The TAX REFORMS
MANY GOOD SUGGESTIONS ARE
OFFERED.
INTERSTATE Comfy URGED
CONFERENCE TAKES STEPS TO
CONTINUE ITS WORK.

Permanent Organizations to BE Eff
fected and General Committees of
100 Named Double Taxation
should Be Avoided by Taxing Pa
per Evidences of Property at
sites of Property and Not Else
,yhere-The Resolution Favoring
liberal Option in Taxation to
Counties and municipalities Re-
fcrred to Next Conference.
Buffalo, N Y, May 24.-Thc taxation
conference of the National Civic Fedora
ton. resumed it's discussions of the ques-
ton of taxation to-day, the topics of the
dav being taxation of mortgages and in
tsritances and local option in taxation.
James r. Garfield of Ohio presided Fred
erck N. Judson of st. Louis, the first
sneaker, spoke of taxation of mortgages.
The taxation conference adjourned this
evening. The sense of it's delegates in
matters of taxation are contained in res
olutions in substance as follows, and
which with the exception of the last
paragraph, were unanimously adopted:
1T is the sense of this conference that
a permanent organization be effected for
rhe promotion of interstate comfy in
taxation and of tax reform in general /;
and to that end that a committee OF tif-
teen be appointed to act as an executive
committee until another meeting of this
conference; and that the executive COM
mittee be authorized to select a general
committee of 100 with at least one mem
Der from each state; that the executive
committee be authorized to take proper
steps for the collection and dissemination
of information in regard to state and local
taxation; that the conference recommends
to the states the recognition and en-
forcement of the principles of interstate
comfy in taxation.
These principles require that the same
property should not be taxed ,at the same
time by two state Jurisdictions and to
this end that, if the title deeds or other
paper evidences of the ownership of prop
erty or of an interest in property, are
taxed, they shall be taxed at the sites of
the property and not elsewhere; that the
state and local revenues should be so
separated as to methods and subjects of
taxation as to give to the counties and
municipalities the largest powers of local
option in taxation.
The last section of the resolution was
referred back to committee, which will
report on the resolution at the next meet
ing of the conference.
One of the most interesting papers of
the day was that of Lawson Purdy, sec
rotary of the New York Tax Reform As

MANY CYCLISTS DoCkETED.
Those Found Riding on Sidewalks
Held Up by the Police.

Special instructions were given to the
police yesterday to watch for people rid
ing bicycles on the sidewalks. The pa
trolmen were on the alert and some four
teen cases were docketed. Nine of the Of
tenders were found by Patrolman Frank
Smith on West Broad street in front of
the packing houses. The walk at this
point has been used by wheelmen for a
long while and those who were docketed
were greatly surprised. The cases viii be
heard by Recorder Myrick in Police
Court on Tuesday.
The attention OF the police has been
called repeatedly to the manner in which
drivers or vehicles go on the streets, al
though but few arrests have been made
Drivers pay little attention to the rules
of the road, as a rule while the patrol
man is busily engaged in running down
cyclists.
A gentleman who has given some at
tention 70 the matter said yesterday If
the Recorder and police will pay as much
attention 10 violations OF the rule of
the road by the drivers Of other vehicles
as they do to bicyclsts there viii be few.

THE BUSINESS SITUATION.
Labor Trouble the Only CIoud-AII
Lines Showing Up Well Except
Cotton and Textiles,

New York, May PAR. q. Dun & Co. IS
Weekly Review of Trade tomorrow will
say:
The labor situation is the cloud hover
ing over the business world, but the diff
cu1ties are not sufficiently widespread at
present to seriously Interfere with the
progress Of manufacture and distribution.
Some settlements of strikes have been
effected during the week and others seem
probable at an early date. Meanwhile prices
hold firm, the capacity of production
plants In the leading industries Is well
employed, and crop advices are satisfac-
tory.
A feeling OF confidence in the perrna-
renee of values appears to have settled
in all divisions of the iron and steel
manufacture. To this may be attributed
the decrease in orders for distant de
livery, purchasers merely contracting for
their requirements from one to two
months In advance. Tranquility regarding
the future is undoubtedly due to the ac-
tlon OF the large combination, which has
made no effort to secure exorbitant
prices, but mauifests an intention to
maintain quotations at the current level.
Although slightly smaller than in the
two preceding phenomenal weeks, ship
nents of boots and shoes from the East
were more. than one hundred thousand
cases, and far in excess OF the same week
in earlier years.
Textile fabrics still exhibit the least
animation and conditions at Fall River
cotton mills are far from encouraging,
further reduction in time ana possibly In
wages being under discussion.
Correspondents report the winter wheat
outlook steadily improving, and there Ii
every reason TO anticipate an abundant
harvest. Speculation in May corn has
quieted down, but the general level OF
this cereal continues far above normal
prices Comparative quiet prevails as 20
cotton. Receipts continue LIBERAL spin
ners are buying little. and there Is a
steady Improvement In reports of the cur
rent crops condition.
Failures for the week numbered $50 IN
the United States, against $50 last year
and % IN Canada. against 20 last year.
