injustice of the order prohibiting hotel
porters from calling out their hotels at
railroad stations. Mr.. Staples says:
IAN order has been recently promulgated
by you, l suppose, or the Inspector pro-
hibiting the hotel porters from calling out
their hotels. 1t seems to me this is great
injustice, and 1 venture to say no other
city in the Union has such restriction. 1t
is certainly great hardship upon the ho-
tells, who pay large proportion of the
taxes of this District 1 don't think you
fully understand it, or you would not have
any such order. l hope you will look into
this matter and decide that l am right

A SUDDEN CONVERSION.

Called to account by the interests
he inadvertently sacrificed in obeying
the demands of the sugar trust, Secre-
tary Gage takes refuge behind the plea
that he must obey the law in levying
a countervailing duty on Russian
sugar, because of the alleged bounty
paid by the Russian government.
This is a very fiimsy excuse. Why
did not Gage thoroughly ascertain
what the law demanded of him in the
premises before taking such hasty ac-
ton? Russia denies paying bounty
and it is believed that the supreme
Court will not uphold Cages action.
This is the first time on record that
Gage, as Secretary of the Treasury.
has exhibited any special regard for
the law. Heretofore the law has al
ways been very flexible and elastic in
his hands, notably in the case of the
illegal fayors bestowed on the Stand
ard Oil Bank in New York.
Cages sudden respect for the law is
enough to make Wall street burst with
suppressed merriment.

SQUEEZING THE SPONGE

Mr.. Pierpont Morgan declines to pay
for any water in the steel companies
he buys for the purpose of amalgama-
ton into his billion trust. If there is
any watering to be done he proposes
to do it all himself. In fact, if he pur-
chases all the concerns on the same
basis Mr.. Carnegie's interest is acquir-
ed, namely $500 OF the new trusts
preferred stock with an equal amount
OF the common as a bonus for every
81, 000 of the old concerns, the new bill
lion trust will be watered to the full
extent of it's capacity in any event in
dependently of any water in the origi-
nal or component stocks that form the
basis of the new combine.
One effect of Mr.. Morgan's policy is
seen in the readjustment of values in
process on the New York Stock Elk
change in some of the steel stocks. the
common stocks. which in most Of these
steel companies represent nothing
tangible and only possibility Of divi-
dends from surplus earnings, slunpins

In contemplation.
We don't know upon what, II any, au-
thority this correspondent speaks, but
il such a thing is proposed the sooner
the idea is abandoned the better.
This city has no debt that is pressing
it except the compromise loan and if
this is refunded and a sufficient sum
added to enable the city to purchase
the electrical company's plant at fair
valuation in accordance with the bill
just passed by the Legislature, all that
is necessary will have been done.
1t would be absurdly bad financing
for the city to refund its entire debt
under the plan which the people have
twice voted down. Why should we
renew our debt and spread the pay
ment over thirty years when we can
pay it off in half the time with half
the money under the present plan? We
are now caAcelling it at the rate of
about $4,000 year and proportion
ately reducing the interest charge and
we will soon be free of debt entirely if
this wise plan is coaunued.

ferred stocks - rule hold Arm Or

tho pressure Of the strenuous hand OF

the elimination OF the water for which

ues represented by these stocks, which
are always see-sawing in the market
in a manner as bewildering to the lay
man as the manipulations of the three
card-monte expert or the shell game
artist-and with much the same pur-
pose in view.
Just now Mr. Morgan is a bear fierce
enough to raise the hair of a Roose-
velt, and is liable to play smash with
some highly fictitious values before he
is done.

his hand. The report stated that he
was making his first trip as a brake

1t was freely circulated yesterday
that there was case af small pox in
West Wheeling, but the scare was
false. A young man who works in the
Wheeling hinge factory and lives in
West Wheeling was vaccinated several
days ago and yesterday morning was
too sick to go to work and had a slight
eruption on his body. Or. Beetham,
the township doctor, who acts as
health officer in such cases visited the
patient and found that the eruption
was only due to vaccination, and that
the young man had no symptoms of
small pox. The news spread fast
about the supposed case and soon be-
came much exaggerated, as such re-
ports usually do.

Won wALDERsEE's RAID.

What does Count Won Waldersee pro-
pose to do with the Chinese Emperor
if he shall succeed in getting him?
The object OF the expedition to
Singan and the seige of that city is not
clear, unless it is another campaign
of loot, such as former military opera
tions degenerated into, or scheme to
seize more territory, or both.
China has granted everything rea-
sonable in the demands made upon her
and many things that were not rea-
sonable. But this has not suficed to
satisfy Germany, whose seizure of XII
ao-Chau is responsible for the whole
trouble. Germany wants more Chin
csc territory. She proposes to seize
it as indemnity and this new military
campaign on the city where the En-
peror has taken refuge is evidently
move in that direction
1t is well that the United States pro-
pose to hold aloof from this new
raid which, in the light or the known
facts, can hardly be anything but dis
grace to civilization. If it shall force
a sudden settlement on the part of
this country and a final determination
OF our attitude TOWARD China, it is just
as well. These matters ought not to
be difficult to settle. The sooner we
clear our skirts of this dirty mess the
better. As matters stand the United
States have troubles enough on hand
in the Orient and elsewhere without
seeking others in China.
