SAME OLD SONG.
England Thinks Foreigners viii Pay
the Coal Tax

New York, May 2l-Hamilton Smith,
president and general manager of the
Stoke on-Trent Colliery company, lin
tied, of Manchester, England, has ar
rived here on his way to Pittsburg on
business. Speaking of the recently inn
posed export tax of a shilling ton on
British coal he said:
1.-THE tax is a. retrogressive action and
one which will in a very short tine dis
locate trade and act as a detriment on
commercial activity. The British gov
eminent is under the impression that
the foreign consumers will pay. That.
however, is already proving to be "A
commercial fallacy. The foreign con-
sumner is not going to pay such tax
for his coal. He buys his coal in the
cheapest market. The Americans. too,
since the immense development of their
coal trade. previous to any question of
this export tax on the British product,
were making a very bold bid to GUST
us from the markets and now the i'm
position of this tax is the golden oppor-
tunity that they have been looking for.
The tax has resulted in my company.
as well as numerous others throughout
England and Scotland, being compelled
to raise the price of steam coal, for
which there has been a remarkable de
mand since the tax, from ten shillings
to twelve shillings a ton. Other grades
have been raised in price proportion
ately. OF course the poor are the chief
sufferers. The manufacturers. too. have
in many instances had to restrict their
output and reduce their working
forces -

Sale Of Property of Big Johnson
Estate Not Made.

The partition sale of the Johnson es-
tate, which was set for Monday morn
ing at 10 o'clock and was postponed
until this morning at 10 O'Clock, has
been again postponed until Wednesday
morning at 10 o'clock
The partition sale, when made. will
be the end of a long litigation and the
winding up of one of the largest estates
in Kansas. The property in Shawnee
county to be sold by the sheriff at a
partition sale was at one time the
property of E. Bennett and must now
be divided among the forty heirs OF the
Johnson estate.
John p johnson. who died a few
years ago. was a wealthy banker at
Highland, DOniphan county He owned
property in twelve different states and
and thirty counties in Kansas. John
son held a mortgage on the Bennett
property, not including the homestead,
for $4,000. johnson foreclosed the
mortgage and the Trust Con pany of
America brought suit in the United
States district court to set aside the
mortgage. Judge Hook set aside the
transfer, holding that the mortgage was
fraudulent In the meantime John P.
Johnson died and his widow, Virginia
NJ johnson, was appointed executrix.
The executrix appealed the case to the
United States court Of appeals and
Judge Hooks decision was reversed
and the property was awarded to the
johnson heirs. At the time of his death
Johnson was probably worth $500 000
All of the property outside of Shaw
nee county has been sold in partition
and the estate will be settled when the
Shawnee county property is sold. The
property in Shawnee county is apprais-
ed at $50. 900. Two of the heirs Judge
Bowman of Illinois and b. A. Seavers
of Highland, claim that they were not
represented when the executrix ap-
peared before Judge Hazen and asked
for a partition sale of the Shawnee
county property Judge Hazen granted
the decree, but the two heirs wish the
sale postponed indefinitely because they
claim they were not represented and
not notified. Judge Hazen has made
the two postponements of the partition
sale on these grounds.
The sale will probably take place
Wednesday. although some effort viii
be made for a settlement out of court.
Gleed, Ware & Gleed. who have been
attorneys for the $500. 900 estate. have
an attorneys fee of $4,000 which is be-
ing contested somewhat by the two
heirs who have asked for the post
ponement.
The property to be sold includes the
old Bennett barn at Eighth and Lin
coin streets. with two houses, which
makes seven and a. half lots, and five
acres south of and adjoining the gov
ernor's mansion. Considerable interest
is m anifest in the sale.

GERMAN EXPEDITIONS.
They Are Not Regarded as Peaceful
by Russia

New York May 21-According to
Herald dispatch from St Petersburg,
Germany's reported desire to send new
expedition against the boxers is looked
upon at the Russian capital as detrimen-
tai to the prospects of peace.
The Bergevaia ViedOmosti comments
as follows on the kaisers speech regard
ing the confidence OF the car in Count
Waldersee:
I'VE do not understand and we have
no confidence in these penal, piratical
expeditions and only understand peace
full methods.
1T has needed much confidence in the
triumph of common sense and in the tri-
umph of political peace over a policy of
adventures and vagabondages for
Russia to remain calm and cool during
these long months of fruitful delibera-
tions and criminal expeditions, compli-
eating situation which should long ago
have ended
IF the troops are being Withdrawn
now the powers are merely following
the first plan mapped out by Russia;
but in all this where is Russia's con-
fdence in Count Waldersee?"

ELEVATOR WON'T MOVE.
g Lift" in Federal Building Is Between
Sacond and Third Floors.

According to the latest bulletins.
there is no noticeable change in the con-
dition of the postoffice elevator.
1t is still-between the second and
third floors of the building. It won't
come down. neither will it go up, and
the tinkers who are at work on it may
have to blow it out through the roof
with dynamite.
Everybody who knows the postofee
elevator considers it a joke. 1t operates
about two days out of the week. 1t has
been known to run three days in success
sion, when the weather was right, and
the moon stood in the most favorable
quarter Almost everybody has a diff
ferent explanation of why the elevate
ballSs. Some say it is because the cables
are loose; other lay the blame on the
motor. One man declares that the trou-
BILE is that an additional custodian and
superintendent of the building is needed
that there are only 20 now.
1t may be necessary to take the eleva-
tor to pieces to get it out of its present
resting place in the shaft.

FUDGE AND GUM CLASS.
Experiment Is Tried at the High
School For Change.

The very latest thing in modern edu-
cational methods is a fudge and gum
recitation; a recitation where fudge and
gum, instead of being transferred sur
reptitiously from the pockets to the
mouth of the pOssessor, as in the good
old days, is boldly devoured, the teacher
being an accessory before the fact, after
the fact, and during the fact.
The class at the high school which is
busy chasing Caesar around in his trav-
els through Gallia Transalpina had a
fudge and gum recitation this morning
The girls in the class brought the fudge;
the boys furnished the gum. And a
good time was had.
The usual custom of Transforming
good Latin into Ddor English was pre-
served during the recitation. But there
was fudge to eat and gum to chew be-
tween times-and besides. the rule
against whispering was abolished. 1t

FRAZIER TAKES 1T BACK.
Admits He MaIigned Councilman
Weber-May Drop Suit.

The criminal libel suit brought by
Councilman w. H Weber against Rufus
NJ. Frazier is to be dismissed. Mr.. Fra
zier has agreed to publish retractiOn
of the charges which he made against
Mr.. Weber during the campaign for the
Republican nomination for mayor.
Rufus Frazier is a colored politician.
and was an active heller for Col Hughes
during the campaign previous to the pri-
maries. He made an affidavit and had
it published in the Hughes organ in
which he set forth in detail how Mr.
Weber and Fred Jewell tried to buy his
support for J. S. Warner. He said that
Mr.. Weber sent for him to 80 to the
ThrOOp hotel, that he went there, and
met Mr.. Weber and Mr.. Jewell. He
claimed that the three walked to Mr..
WeberS store, and that Mr.. Weber ask
ed him if S25 or $50 would be any in
ducement for him to come out and work
for Warner, instead of working for
Hughes. Frazier. according to his af
fidavit indignantly declined the offer.
In the retraction which Mr.. Frazier is
going to make in order to avoid prose-
cution, he says that he did not meet Mr..
Weber at the Throop hotel on the date
mentioned in his former affidavit; that
the only conversation he ever had with
Mr.. Weber about politics was once in
front of Mr.. Weber'S store when Mr..
Weber asked him who he was support
ing for mayor, to which Frazier replied
that he was working for Hughes. Mr..
Frazier admits in his signed statement
that so far as he knows. Mr.. Weber new
er offered him any inducement to work
for Mr. Warner
Mr.. Frazier said today: It will not
publish this retraction till Mr.. Weber
dismisses his suit against me. I told
Mr. Weber that I was willing to make
such a retraction because did not be-
lieve I could get justice in the district

THEY OWN THE STREET.
People on Clay Give Deeds to Secure
Paving.

Clay street people, between Second
and Third street have manifested the
sincerity Of their desire to have pave
ment laid on that block by giving to
the city quit claim deeds to the street,
which the city demanded as a prelimi-
nary to paving.
The council turned down the paving
petition for this block because of 9. pc
culiar technicality The plats for this
block are so constructed that the pro-
perty owners own the land to the middle
of the street. Under such circumstances
the city declined to pave until the pro-
perty holders relinquished the title to
the street.
All the property holders in the block
have done 50, with the exception of Mrs.
J. H. Hunt, who is in the east Deeds
have been sent to her, which she will
sign and return, and thus clear up all
objections to paving the block in ques-
ton.

TO SUCCEED MRS. EDDY.
She Again Says That Man Will Fill
the Post

A dispatch to the New York Herald
from Concord, N. H. says:
REV. Mary Baker Eddy was recently
quoted as saying that her successor at
the head of the Christian Science move
ment would be a man. Today she fur
nished the following:
$ I did say that man would be my
future successor. BY this did not mean
Mr.. Alfred Farlow, nor any other man

The New York Journal quotes Mrs.
Eddy as follows:

of which am the author, you will find
declaration of the Divinity of Christ
and Oneness of the Christ.
