THE CASE
Why There is a Deadlock Among
the we as to China.

PEKIN, July 1.-THE minister of one
of the great powers told the represen-
tative of the Associated Press to-day
that d leading cause for the present ap-
parent deadlock was the fact that the
various committees had taken to them
selves too much authority in dealing
with the Chinese and had made certain
promises dependent upon the Chinese
agreeing to certain conditions, which
other ministers afterward found it i'm
possible to accept.
Another factor of considerable i'm
%portance, he said was the commercial
factor, involving the right of each gov
eminent to make its own treaties with
China and the application of the most
favored nation clause.
In his opinion he first difference can
be overcome shortly but the commercial
issue must be eliminated or it is likely
to prove a definite stumbling block.

STAMP REDEMPTION INJUSTICE.

If the people. especially the business
public, had known what they would be
up against in trying TO get their money
back for unused revenue stamps, it is
safe to say that ven the exegencies Of
the Spanish war would not have bee2
sufficient to pass the war revenue meas
ure.
Under the Treasury Departments rul-
ings, as already published in these col
umns, before anyone who has left on
hand unused yevenue stamps can have
the same redeemed by the government,
which issued them, he must trace them
back to the original revenue collector
who sold them and get his certificate to
that effect.
In the plainest case, where the pur-
chaser knows the revenue Office from
which he purchased his stamps, it is
more or less Of an inconvenience to
trace the purchase on the books. But
In cases where the stamps have been
purchased from a dealer OF several
dealers A. IL not. only i~nconvenient but

Most ~pianists have at some time in
their lives rejoiced over Robert SchG-
mans delicately Imaginative "Phan-
taisie Stucke," says NJ. A. p, and 1t may
interest u readers to know that the
lady for whom they were written has
just passed away at the age OF 81. Anna
Robina Laidlaw CNrs. thomsonl was
court pianist to the Queen of Hanover.
and had in her time played before most
Of the European sovereigns.
Miss Laidisw and schumann.
Her father was a wealthy Scotch
landowner and the friend Of Sir Walter
Scott, but. losing his money, he went
10 Germany to live. His daughter,
Anna Robina, studied music under Lud-
wig Berger, and then began what III
those days was a very marvellous career
for a young girl. Her mothe accompa-
MED her everywhere and both were
remarkably handsome. Robert Schu-
mann heard her play at Leipsic, and
then followed one of those musical
friendships which on the composers
side rlpened into something very near
ly akin to love. They used TO 20 to the
theater together. L many little parties
a trolls were enjoyed in the summer in
the beautiful Rosenthal outside the
town.
When Miss Laidlaw left she had a
letter from her admirer, which ran:
The remembrance of your stay here
VIII always be a most beautiful one to
me, INT that what ! write is true you
will see in eight Phantasie Stucke
which will Don appear bearing your
name Upon their forehead. 1t is true
! have not asked your permission TO
make this dedication, but to you they
belong, and the whole romantic history
OF the Rosenthal is described in the mu-
sic. They will be ready in September.

him her picture to remind him of her.

Many Composers Called Her Friend.
All the chief musical celebrities of
those times were among her friends
Grisi. Mario. Lablache, Tambourini,
Rubini, Wagner, Ole Bull. Sainton,
Aeyerbeer, the younger Mozart, and
Iaubert, who wrote some of his com
positioro for her. She played at n of
Paganin> concerts when She was only
Ia, and he said she was one of the
most magical of players. Mayer wrote
to her once: Il hope God will always
De in your heart, and the devil in your
fingers" In the last days of William
W., Miss LaidlaW played at st. James
and was complimented by the old King
on her looks as w" as on her playing.
1E9 old Emperor \ dam and his EN-
press loved her, ann the Russian court
was almost a home to the talented
young Scotswoman. In her latter days
Mrs. thomson lived the most retired
of lives in her daughters home at Bay
water; she never played, and rarely
talked about modern music. She was a
very bright and most intelligent old
lady, an excellent %linguist, and much
interested in of all things -chiro-
nancy and astrology.

The managers of the United States
Steel Corporation would hardly Ire
worth their high salaries if at the out
set of tine new billion combine they
allowed it to be tied up by a strike of
Its $4,000 employees of the Amalgamated
Association because of a dispute in two
of its component companies. Common
sense seems to have prevailed and the
Sheet steel and steel hoop controversy
will be opened again. 1t is said, how
ever, that it required King Morgan's
influence to prevail on the trust man
ayers to get down off their high horse.
1t requires a large amount of brains
to successfully conduct a concern of
this magnitude and it looks as if Mr..
Morgan had also a monopoly of that
most important,necessary Of life, so far
as the Billion Trust management Is
concerned.

LET FuLToN COME IN.

She wants in. That is pretty certain.
Several years ago when the proposition
to annex Fulton to Wheeling was taken
up the Register strongly advocated the
move. but Fulton then voted it down
because Wheeling's tax rate was some
what higher. Now Fulton's taxes are
as heavy as Wheeling's and the only
thing that Fulton would come in for
additional would be the small ten cent
levy and she would more than get her
money back in the share of improve
ments under that levy which would
then be hers, and besides she would
have gas and cheaper electric street.

vantages which a city enjoys over u
village. In fact, the arrangement
would be chiefly to Fulton's advantage,
Wheeling would be able to boast two
additional thousands Of population and
more room.

tages of city government. 1t will be
but a short time until not only Fulton,
but farther out the pike will all be
within the city limits.
Wheeling is now the business and
shopping centre OF a total population
on both sides of the river of about
$1,000, yet we rank below forty thous-
and. Unfortunately we cannot over
step the State line and annex the Ohio
towns, nor, as yet, can We cross the

everything but its government. But
we can take in Fulton and thus pass
the 10000 mark Of population and APP
pear before the country as at least over
half as important a centre of popula-
ton as we really are-and there's
everything in making a proper appear
ance in this world.
Fulton would come in as the Ninth
ward of Wheeling-the city being en-
titled to nine wards. There is no rea-
son why it shouldn't. We already sup
ply Fulton with water and whenever
she has a serious fire our fire depart
ment has TO put il out. Our electric
cars traverse her main street. The Or

Is no reason why the city line should
not be extended to Stackyard Hollow,

Wheeling is willing. We are sure
Fulton would jump at the opportunity.
It's a good thing all around. Let us

The First Duty of Is the
Defense of the FatherIand.

POTSDAM, July 7.-SpeaKing on the
occasion of the entrance of Prince Eitel
Frederick, Emperor Williams second
son, into the first guards regiment, at
Potsdam, his majesty said:
The noblest task is the defense of
the fatherland. The noblest weapon
is the sword, and the noblest uniform
is the uniform of the Prussian sol
der.
The finest thing | can imagine is the
earnest soldier, inhexible as iron in ev-
erything which constitutes the chivalry
of an officer; hard toward himself, up
holding with rigid self discipline the
traditions of his house and regiment,
Indifferent to the opinion of others, and
with one goal before his eyes"
Irresponsible only to his God and his
father, so may son follow his path in

purchase back from the dealer to or
iginal revenue office and under the
treasury ruling a certificate must be
had from both the dealer and revenue
Office before the government will re-
deem its stamps. In cases OF check
books printed on stamped paper, gen.
orally used by banks and business firms,
4. is often like trying 70 find a needle
in a haystaek to attempt to trace an
individual ~check-book from the print
er to the paper-dealer and then posi-
bly, to the wholesaler and after that to
the revenue office of original issue.
II the department had given warning
beforehand of the vast amount of red
tape 1t would require to have unused
government revenue stamps redeemed,
the business public would have taken
the %precaution to safeguard Itself in
this matter. But no warning was given
and to make the public suffer the con-
sequences Of this neglect is the height
OF injustice.
OF course, the bank or business house
or individual that has left on hand but
$40 or $40 worth of such stamps or
stamped paper Or documents, after a
few futile efforts to trace these stamps
to the original revenue Office will be apt
to give it up in disgust and pocket the
loss. And it looks very much as If the
general abandonment of claims of this
sort-amounting to millions in the ag-
gregate-were what the Treasury De
partment Is trying to force by its un-
just ruling.
Not only is the ruling unjust, but 1t
is unprecedented. Government stamps
have heretofore always been redeemed
without question the same as govern
ment b|anknotes. When the stamp x
OF the civil wal were repealed no such
preposterous red tape was required for
the redemption Of nused stamps. Ma
tional banks were authorized to redeem
them and did redeem them on presen-
tatlon without question. All that was
necessary was to present this paper
bearing the government stamp and the
government refunded to the citizen the
money he paid for it.
Why should there be any red tape
now? A government obligation should
always be redeemable on its face.
We are not quite on the European
imperial basis yet-indeed, no European
government would sanction this impo-
sition on the publt The people are
still supreme here and the government
exists for their convenience, welfare and
benefit-not the people for the govern
ment, as some heady officials at Wash
ington seem to think.

ENFORCEMENT ON THE RIVER.
The Pennsylvania railroad still CON
snues to fill in the bank opposite the
Island shore above the suspension
bridge on it's Panhandle branch. The
flling-in process is being conducted on
a larger scale than ever. Every day
trainload after trainload of Stag from
the top mill is dumped over the bank.
Beginning opposite the head Of the ISL
and the railroad has thus filled in ter
ritory on the river sufficient to lay sew
eral additional tracks, where before
there was nothing but the river, thus
redeeming from the water quite a good
sized railroad yard.
Complaint about this serious en-
croachment was made to the War De-
partment, but the result was that after
a survey or two the railroad was ae-
quilted by the department of e%ncroach-
ment on the channel. Possibly this may
be technically correct. But whether
there is actual e~ncroachment on the
channel proper there is serious en-
c%roachment on the waterway in gen
eral from the head of the Island to the
suspension bridge. which is bound to
work damage to Island residents during
high water by throwing the volume of
the flood over there to the extent that
the opposite bank has been filled in.
During low water, or when the river is
within it's banks there is, of course. no
danger. The danger is when the stream
is bank full or Il of its banks and this
flling-in has very greatly increased the
food danger to the Island.
Unfortunately the Pennsylvania rail-
road seems to stand a little higher in
Washington than the people. Although
it may be we'll within its technical
right, it looks as if the peoples inter-
ests in this case should receive consid-
Grafton.
If the department regulations permit
the railroad to encroach on the water
way and ~jeopardize the property of the
citizens of the Seventh ward. action
should be taken looking to their pro-
lection by u representative in Con-
gress. Special legislation should be en-
acted to stop this encroachment and
protect the Island from the growing
danger that now menaces it.
Despite technicalities the Pennsyl-
vania railroad does not own the river
and is not entitled thus to increase its
acreage at the expense of other citi-
zens. who, also, have rights.

DIXON, Mo, July 6.-Farmers in this
section are killing hundreds of snakes
daily. They include rattlesnakes, copper
heads, moccasins and other less poisonous
species. Poultry raisers are suffering Sc
we're losses from the depredations of tina
snakes
Harry S. West, a farmer living in Dry
Creek township, Maries county, yesterday
found a big snake in his chicken coop.
After a fight he killed it, but not before
he had ruined a new ak by chopping on
some hard substance inside of the reptile.
On dissection the snake was found to con-
tain six chickens. three eggs, a china
nest egg and a large porcelain d~oorknobf
with an iron handle, which had been uscd
as a substitute for the regular decoy nest
egg.
