thoroughly discussed by officers at
the war department, and while no
one seemed to have any direct infor-
nation concerning his intentions the
statement that he would leave the
army was generally accepted as true.
People in Washington who know
Funston say that he is not by nature
adapted to the routine of II military
part in times of peace and hat his
spirit of daring and enterprise will
lead him into other fields.
Officers who have returned within
the past few days said he did not eX-
pcct the promotion that resulted
from his capture Of Ngninaldo and
that when he was shown the cable
gram from the war department an
nouncing his appointment ms n briga-
dier general he expressed astonish-
mcnt that his exploit should have led
the president to accord him such
recognition. At that time, it is said,
he was making arrangements to get
out of the army, his intention then
being to accept proposition OF
large business conccrp to represent
it in the Philippines. The promotion
for the time being, of course, divert
ed his attention from such plans.
The offer is said to have been re
newcd since, and as il would bring
him much larger salary than that
of hrigadcr it i understood he has
almost decided to accept it.

Regarding the Quays Dis
pute or Go to War.

Paris, Aug. 22-The cruiser Cassard
has already left Toulon for Turkish
waters. and four other warships are
under orders to follow her Immediately.
The government has come out strong
ly in support of the demands OF Nj.
constans. the French ambassador Mt
Constantinople. who has broken off dip
lomatic negotiations with the sultan
because of Abdul Hamld's dupllcity in
the matter of the French quays conces-
sions.
should the sultan not recede from his
position the Mediterranean fleet, which
is in readiness, will be ordered to fol-
low the warships now under way or
under orders TO proceed to TURKISH
waters.
Frances naval position is now such
that She can almost Immediately make
4 strong demonstration against the sui
tan.
The approaching visit of the czar to
France greatly strengthens the govern
mrnt's position, and the suggestion Is
made In some quarters that the matter
will be left open until the arrival of the
Russian ruler.
The government could now make n
military and naval demonstration with
ont exciting hostile internal criticism.
Iii the meanwhile the Turkish en-
hasSador, Mmnir licy, is absent, and mt
the Turkish embassy only minor Off

Of absolute Indifference.

The French company contends that

Its We have pointe out the injustice of
 sting handieaps onindi iuai sfsrt, as illustrated H the taxing of business enterprises o neasly every Kind. Nowhere.ih the United States. save and ex- cept in Aadaa, are business men subjected to the same haraships and vexatious, evils. The English speakin people for three centuries have protested against thelsvying of unjust impostions upon them. Charles Of England lost his and his head for tbis reason, ,sand later England lost the country which is now the United States. Taxation without representation Is obnoxious to any people who call themselves free. r
 When congress decitedto-fr frame code of laws for Alaska 1t would appear that it was determined to
 make he.people pay the whole cost of government of the district and besides, We do not believe that there is business man in Alaska who wouf object to fair tax but on the other hand, we are of the opinion that business object to special, unfair, tax whether they live in Alaska or else where. Alaska cost the United States by purchase t7 ,OOO,O0O Out of Alaska, the government and people of the United states have derived tens, of millions of dollars; yet it is deemed necessary to impose special and, we hold unconstitutional taxes upon thespeople of, Alaska. We import everything tAat we use from the 'mother country" we export gc. payingin cash for everything that purchase. And yet aus..asn who conducts a butcher haEher shop saw milt or cigar store, grocery or a. dry eoods establishment is compelled pay for the prv
 l&gs,, And many of them are forced to pay not only the general tax but tax upon the amount of busi- mess which they transact each year.
 s Relief will come in time but reforms can only be hfopghts about by pointing to their need. We are a lqpg-sufering and patient people, but governmental neglect and congressional stupidity and ignorance will in time exhaust our patience This is the long congress, and seems to us it is the beppden dnty of each Alaskan tonse his best endeayors to se
