DIED IN YOKOHAMA.
Hugh Tevis, While on Ills Honeymoon,
 Expires.

Denver, Col, June 7.-Ex-Governor Bax- ter of Wyoming, received a cablegram this morning from his daughter, Mrs. Hugh Tevis, now at Yokohama, announce ing that her husband was dead. The cable gram gave no further particulars.
 Miss Cornelia Baxter was married to MT. Tevis of San Francisco a few weeks ago in California, and they sailed for Yokohama on their honeymoon tour.
 San Francisco. June 7.-Hugh Tevis, whose death at Yokohama is reported by cable, was the second son of Lloyd Tevis, and one of the heirs of the vast estate left by that millionaire. He was about 40 years old and graduate of liar yard. While in that university he enter ed mile foot race, which he won, but in doing so exerted himself so severely as to affect his heart. The complaint there contracted never left him. and he was subject to attacks of heart trouble. It Is believed by hls friends here that a re- currence of this ailment caused his death.
 MT. Tevis was twice married, his first wife being a daughter of J. G. Boal, a prominent jurist of this city. By her he had a daughter, now about years old, who survives him.

KING EDWARDS SLEEPER.

London Correspondence Indianapolis
 News,
 King Edward has bought a royal sleep- nent where he has already spent a lot of his time. and means to spend great deal more. Instead of being ordered from Pullman or Wagner. 1t Is being made by the Compagnie International Wagons Lit, (the International Sleeping Wagons Company of Paris), which runs palace cars and trains to St. Petersburg, Odessa, Constantinople, Brindisi, and all the places between those towns and Paris. Its cars are easily thirty years behind the Wagner and Pullman coaches, though am bound to say they are better than any coaches that have ever been used here by either the late Queen or the present King Their royal carriages consist sim ply of large room for the royalties. set a table, and at the ends of the car small closet-like rooms, in which the servants hide out of the way among hampers of food and bottles of refreshments. The new continental railway coach of the King is different. It has a passage along one side like the Mann boudoir cars of old and contains separate large rooms for the sumuptuous over here, but does not com- pare in beauty and finish with the beau tiful Pullmans now running between Lon don and Brighton. It has no little pocket buffet kitchen.

War Tax Re duciinns.

On July 1 very considerable changes in revenue or federal taxes will be made-so many and so considerable that every business man at least is interested in them. To begin with, stamp taxes will be abolished July 1 on these papers:
 Bank checks and drafts.
 Bills of lading for export.
 Certificates of deposit.
 Certificates not otherwise specified.
 Sight drafts.
 Express receipts.
 Money oredrs.
 Mortgages or conveyances in truet.
 Power of attorney to vote.
 Power of attorney to sell
 Promissory notes.
 Protests.
 Telegraph messages.
 Warehouse receipts.
 Bonds of indemnity must carry a fifty-cent tax after July l, and convey ances above $20O0 will be taxed 25 cents on each So0O. Bonds will still need five-cent stamp for each $100, and stock certificates will be taxed as they are at present. Every freight re- ceipt must carry one-cent stamp after July 1.
 But the greater part of the vexatious stamp duties brought upon us by the war with Spain will be abolished. If the Supreme Court had not sat down on the income tax after upholding it hundred years, none of these stamp taxes would have been necessary, and tLe quicker an income tax is restored as a financial reserve the better for all. This is part of the work that the victorious Democrats of 1904 will be expected to accomplish.

Tariff Protected Trusts.

The Manufacturers National Asso- citation is in session at Detroit, and not few of It's members lately urged notifications of the Dingley tariff, and they were especially enthusiastic in advocating reciprocity treaties. These manufacturers are not members of a trust. No tariff-protected trust talks in that manner. Trusts in fact do not attend conventions. They have more direct line of defense and offense by way of campaign subscriptions and Mark Hanna MT. Hanna Is their pro- tector and guardian angel, much as his appearance may be calculated to dis pei any angelic ideas.
 These trusts which were not repre- sented at Detroit want trade kept in a condition that permits them to reap profits from domestic consumers suf- ficiently large to make good any de- ficiencies that may arise from sales to foreign consumers. They want no out side interference with their respective combinations, and they need high home prices in order to earn dividends on watered securities.
 The indirect taxation thus imposed on American consumers is something immense. The securities, for example, of the steel trust aggregate 1500 mill lions of dollars, or fully three times the cost of the plants, and under the Dingley tariff that trust proposes to tax the people six per cent. at least upon the billion of water in its securi- ties. This is sufficient example of the McKinley-Dingley scheme for rob ping the many to benefit the few.
 The Detroit Association includes no trusts. The independent individual manufacturer knows that the tariff should be reduced in all cases and abolished in many, but he is powerless to accomplish anything against the combine of trusts and Republicanism. The two constitute the biggest robber scheme that any government was eyer guilty of This scheme would not stand at all if taxation under it were levied in direct and open manner. so that the wayfarer cannot see the extent or manner of the vile work, but it goes on increasingly, and the time may come when all will see what is going on, and then the trusts and the tariff will go down together.

at 30 cents a barrel in order to com pete with coal. As the cost of equip ping boilers for the use of oil Is sev- eral hundreds of dollars no one will use oil unless some saving can be eff fected, and this means that oil must be laid down in Dallas at about 45 cents a barrel. As Beaumont is about 300 miles from Dallas rate that will admit of such a price for oil is exceed ingly improbable. In other words, oil cannot compete with two-dollar coal, and that Is about the size and shape of the problem at New Orleans so far as Alabama coal is concerned, at least until pipe lines are laid down.
 This proposition is a safe one wherever oil must be sent in barrels over railroads coal will hold it's own, but wherever it can be piped or car ried in tank steamers it may displace coal for a season. The length of that season will depend upon the flow of the wells and the abundance of the supply. It involves at any rate an un- precedentedly low price at the wells, a price not exceeding twenty-five cents a barrel.

JUGGLING WITH THE SUFFRAGE

From the Washington Star,
 This Juggling with a most important question has produced some quer re- suits in the south. In North Carolina and Louisiana what Is known as the grand father clause passes the ignorant white man to the polls, while the ignorant ne- gro is excluded. In Mississippi a man ap- plying to vote may be interrogated by the officers of the election as to some clause of the constitution, and excluded from the polls if his replies are unsatisfactory. Think of the quizzing of an illiterate white or black man on such topic by couple of cross roads wiseacres, who, if interrogated themselves on the same point by men competent to discuss the constitution, would afford as much amusement as the helpless individual they so readily turn down, Such a thing makes farce of the most solemn right connected with popular government.
 The Republican leaders hold that the end may not soon be reached, but that 1t Is inevitable. The >pegro cannot remain unworthy of recognition in the affairs of the south, and yet be made by the south the basis of the power she exercises in the affairs of her sister sections. She cannot exclude him from the polls at home and yet vote him herself in Con- gress and in the electoral college in the choosing of a chief magistrate. That Is opposed both to the constitution and to common sense.

Costs More Than Coal.

Since May Il the Dallas Brewing Company has been using fuel oil under one of the two boilers of its plant. This oil comes from Corsicana, and is de livered in Dallas at 70 cents ] barrel of forty-two gallons.
 A careful account has been kept of the differences in the two boilers. The oil makes steam readily, and a boiler inspector finds no injury from it-in fact. the boiler would probably last longer than it would under coal con sumption. But oil at 70 cents bar rel is more expensive. Four barrels of oil are equivalent to @ ton of slack coal. Such coal costs in Dallas $2 a ton. Oil must be laid down in Dallas

Explanatory

There is an odd phrase of information to the Lord In the officially-reported of fcial prayer of a Rev. MT. Provence, spoken in the presence of the Alabama Constitutional Convention yesterday" re- marked man who prays last night "Mr. Provence in his prayer declared that these members of this convention who come from all parts of the State to transact business of great importance may come in the right spirit and so on, | and that speech addressed to the All-Wise concerning a political assemblage sounds quaintly odd. In spite of his name, MT. | Provence must be a Scotchman, for | Scotchmen who pray aloud are noted the | world over for the personal information | and detailed explanation they submit to | the Most High.
 l "It is a common thing to hear Presby- | terian preachers in Scotland say in their | public prayers. which in many instances l are longer than any sermon ought to be, | Thou knowest, o Lord, what we mean, | Tn other words, O Lord, and like phrases of personal familiarity with the Almighty that shock the prious of other creeds. 1 Dean Ramsey, best of all Scotch story
 
 | tellers and a real wit in pulpit and in print, relates that certain Scotch preacher was harvesting the hay on the | glebe of the manse. when rain threatened. | He went into his house and prayed very | fervently that there be no rain that day, | informing the Lord that if rain did fall 1t would damage the rewmown hay; and that hay was then fetching good price and that he needed money. The prayer was very long one. and ended with a most emphatic amen Just then a heavy shower fell, and the preacher, indignant, looked upward and said:
 "'Now. Lord, just look at that!' gro some of us that is rank blasphmy. Yet 1t is related as fact by Dean Ram sey, himself Scotch preacher, and one said to have been pious."

THE IMPORT AND EXPORT
 TRADE AT HANKOW, CHINA
BY ALBERT HALsTEAo.

Hankow, the Chicago of China, is the subject of an elaborate discussion in a recent number of the British Board of Trade Journal, which presents certain facts that will prove of importance to Americans interested in the trade with China. Hankow is a city of over mill lion inhabitants, situated about 600 miles in the interior of China. but reached by ocean-going steamers, which pass up the great Yanktze river to that point Locat- ed as 1t is in the very heart of the most productive and densely populated section of China. 1t is one of the most important trade centers. The article in question says:
 "Of the treaty ports on the Yangtze, Hankow Is second in importance, coming only after Shanghai. which latter from It's position near the mouth, should be re- garded more as a sea port than as a river port. The total import trade of the eight treaty ports on the Yangtze has been as follows: In 1897, 1i3, 0S0,519 Haik- wan taels. of which the value of 9. 1S0, ,2a3 entered at Hankow; in 1898, 109. 446, 696 taels. of which 22,s17,794 entered at Han kow; and in 1899, IA, ,553, ,474 taels, of which 29,73S,6 ,666 taels entered atNHankow. The total export trade of these eight ports in the same years has been as follows: In 1897. 106, ,454, cos taels, of which the value of 24,540, ,3S2 taels left China through Hankow; in 1898, 102, ,3SS, ,3S2 taels, of which 90,953.6 .651 taels in value was exported from Hankow; and in 1899, 141 ,6S6 355 taels, of which 37.462.S95 taels value was exported from Hankow. From the above it will be seen that as regards exports the trade of Hankow is greater than that of all the other six ports of the Yangtze exclusive of Shanghai, whose export trade in 1899 amounted to 7o,s22,474 taels. he value of the Haikwan tael ranges between 70 and 7S cents.
 In 1899, 2929 vessels, with total tonnage of 1.976,931 tons, entered and cleared at the port of Hankow, as against 2566 vessels. with a total tonnage of 1.s22.060 tons in 1898. Of the total tonnage entered and cleared at Hankow. the tonnage of Brit ish steamers amounted to 65.S per cent in 1898 and 6S.2 per cent in 1899. In the

MUSIC AND LITERATURE.

From the New York Musical Courier.
 The late Oliver Wendell Holmes, in a discussion once upon time. lamented his inability to appreciate the divine art. The genial "autocrat" admitted that he liked pretty tunes,' but the music of Bach Beethoven, Mozart and the other great masters was a sealed book to him and he deplored greatly his inability to compre- bend the intellectually of music
 Every good musician, that is every man who has received a sound musical educa- tion, must know something of poetry and literature. and most musicians do know more about either than your average poet or author knows about music.

THE KING MAY RENT OSBORNE

From the New York Worlds London Let
 ter.
 London-King Edward is looking around for an eligible tenant for Osborne house. Cowes, Queen Victoria's beautiful palace overlooking the Solent. where she died.
 The King has caused it to be known that he does not intend to live much, if at all. at Osborne house. except, per- haps, for the Cowes regatta week. and any tenancy he grants would probably be subject to his occupancy at that period.
 It is said that Lord Rothschild Is dis posed to take Osborne house, and as 1t is an extremely expensive place to main- tain properly none but a millionaire could think of renting 1t. It is believed the King would only rent 1t to one of his friends, and it is said he expects s1O0, 900 a year for it.
 He made such an admirable bargain in the ease of the comparatively insignifi- cant White Lodge with Mrs. Hartmann
