posed of Before Adjournment Is De-
cided On.
Lansing. Mich, March 26.-With
practically all important proposed gen.
eral legislation yet to be considered
and acted upon, the senate last even.
Ing passed Senator Atwood's concur
rent resolution for the legislature to
do no work after April rs, one month
hence, and fixing May as the day for
final adjournment.
Shortly after the senate met Senator
Atwood moved TO take his concurrent
resolution from the table. The motion
was adopted. Then Atwood moved the
adoption OF his resolution. On a viva
voce vote the senate seemed to be
about equally dlvided, but no mem
Der said word for or against the res.
olution.
President Pro Tenn. LOOMS, who
was in the chair, hesitated, and then
said: ut seems to have passed
Then he hesitated again and looked
around at the senator's, who still re.
NAMED singularly silent. Then he
said: ut is passed"
Shortly afterward Senator Atwood
said, We'll pass fair ad valorem tax
bill before April 25."
Some of the friends of the equal
taxation" movement in the house look
with suspicion on the senate's action.
Such men as Rep. Goodrich of Hills
dale say that it looks to him like a
plan to prevent definite action on ad.
valorem tax bills and have the legis.
lature dilly daily along in the consid-
Grafton of these measures until it shall
become too late to pass any bill of
the sort
LET us dispose of the tax bills be.
fore We decide when we shall finally
adjourn" said Mr.. Goodrich.
Others look upon the senate's action
as a move calculated to help the re.
publicans at the approaching spring
election. An early adjournment would
cut down the usual expenses of the
legislature, which are estimated at
about 5000 a day.
1t Is argued that the people expect
the legislature to pass an ad valorem
tax bill and that the republican party
in the state platform adopted last
summer at the Grand Rapids conven-
ton, having promised legislation of
this sort, the legislature should poss a
bill to tay che property Of railroad,
telephone and express companies, and
even of mining companies, according
to the ad valorem system. Some of
the senator's say that while they per-
sonally believe the proposed legisla-
ton would be a step backward, they
fear that the republican party in this
state would be placed in a dangerous
predicament at the general fall cleo.
pass an ad valorem tax bill. Personal
ly, these senators contend that the
specific tax system is better than the
ad valorem in every way; far more
economically executed, capable of easy
to changed conditions
from time to time, and producing bet.
ter results in the way Of revenue for
the state.
Members of the tax commission say
Gov. Bliss has promised to do all he
can to have the legislature pass faif
and satisfactory ad valorem tax meas

House today from the residence of his
brother-in-law, Commander Cowles. Of
the navy, arriving shortly before $50.
Secretary Long, Secretary Hay and
Secretary Gage came almost upon his
heels, and saw the president for few
minutes in the cabinet room The
doors OF the White House were closed
to the public, but admission, of course,
was accorded to those who desired to
see the president personally. and with
in an hour a score of men prominent
in public life had called to pay their
respects and to extend their good
wishes for a successful administration.
Among the We're Senators Scott and
Elkins of West Virginia, Senators
Pritchard Of North Carolina, Millarc of
Nebraska and Burton of Kansas. and
Representatives Heatwole, McCleary
and Stephens Of Minnesota, Gibson OF
Tennessee, Livingstone Of Georgia and

lighted with the reception accorded
them.
Senators Ellins and Scott congratu-
lated the president upon the declara-
tion he had made when. he took the
oath of office THAT simple declara-
ton" said Senator Scott .simmedi tely
world To the Minnesota representa-
tives the president recalled the fact
that it was in their state that he had
made his last public utterance as vice
president, and that in that confession
of faith. as he characterized it. he COM
mitted himself to the policy of McKin-
ley, to which he pledged his adherence
upon assuming the respOnsi ibilities OF
his office at Buffalo. Representa-
Livingstone, of Georgia was especially
pleased with his reception. The Georgia
represe ntative had congratulated the
president: had expressed the hope that
his administration would be a success, VI
and had informed him that as a south
ern man and a Georgian he would con-
tribute everything in his power to that
end. The president replied that it
would be his aim to be the president Of
the whole people. without reference to
geographic lines or class distinction;
that it was the welfare of all which he
should seek to promote.

ENGLAND'S FRIEND.
British DO Not Expect ROOse-
velt to Aid the Beers.

New York, Sept. 21-Among the pas
sengers booked to sail on the steamship
Kaiser Wilhelm der Crosse on Tuesday
next is Captain Arthur Lee, ex-military :
attache to the British embassy in
Washington, and conservative member
of parliament from South Hampshire.
Captain Lee and his wife have been in
this country for month visiting in
Maine. AS the representative of the
English army Captain Lee campaigned
in Cuba during the Spanish-American
war. During that campaign he spent a
great deal of his time with the Rough
Riders and became intimately ac-
quainted with President Roosevelt. He
said:
"As student Of the American people
I count myself particularly fortunate IN
having been in this country during the
pastl week. I have seen them in the
days of their exultation, in the days OF
their prosperity and pride and now
have seen them in their hour of humili-
alton and grief The absolutely uniVer-
sal feeling of affection for the stricken
president and of genuine sorrow over
his death as expressed by the highest
and the lowest presents to the foreigner
a new phase of the national character"
Have you ever heard it rumored that
hereafter President Roosevelt has been
in the South Africa struggle?' was ask
ed.
I have talked with him on the sub
ject," said Captain Lee, "and I think I
know his views, but of course I could
not abuse his confidence by repeating
anything he might have said. / viii
state positively, however, that he never
made any secret of his appreciation of
the helpful attitude of England toward
the United States during the struggle in
Cuba, and that he has not forgotten it.
England has nothing to fear from his
administration / think the leaders of
my government are convinced of that
fact"
Speaking Of the probable work of the
house of commons at its next sitting
Captain Lee expressed the hope that
one of its first discussions will be upon
the Nicaragua canal treaty. I have
every hope that the United States SEN
ate viii accept the new treaty laid be-
fore it next Decembe said he, and
hope that the treaty viii come before
the English parliament in February.

AFTER THE POLE
Peary Will Start Next April
From Cape HecIa.

New ork, pt.21.-Herbert J.. Bridge
man, secretary of the Peary Arctic
club who conduct the Peary expedition
of this year. and the young men who
accompanied him. have returned home.
with them came Mrs. Peary and her
little girl who was born in the Arctic
regions eight years ago.
Next April" said Mr.. Bridgeman IN
Brooklyn last night. "Peary viii start
for the pole from Cape Hecla. the high
est point of land he has discovered in
the west, which is only 500 miles from
the pole If he should never reach tt,
his discoveries have been important
enough to warrant the time he has
spent in the north-but he viii reach
the pole"
Mr.. Bridgeman said he had the salts
faction of knowing that Peary had n
supply of Walrus meat large enough to
carry him through his undertaking.
The explorer returned with the Bridge
man party as far as Cape Henschei,
where his winter headquarters are.
Four days after it occurred Mr..
Bridgeman, at Sydney, heard of the
shooting Of President Mckinley Peary
will not hear of it until next summer
."The last relief expedition said Mr.
Bridgeman, was the eleventh sent out
by the Arctic club. They have lost all
elements of the dramatic. We were
twice in danger, however. Once we got
caught between a glacier and an Ice
foe and went aground on a muddy
bank. We were fast for several hours.
and the danger was lest the ice pack
should sweep in around us and make
US prisoners. The captain pounded a
hole in the nose of the foe, fastened 2
big hawser to the foe, and in ten min
utes the great body of ice. whose move
ment you could not see at all had
swung us clear of the whole thing
1.-THE most serious time was when we
got caught between the lip Of ice under
water and the glacier. We got away
all right, however"
Mr.. Bridgeman said that. so far as
he knew, there was no truth in the re-
port from Halifax. n. S. that Peary
had discovered gold in the Arctic re-
gions. If such a discovery had been
made Peary, Mr.. Bridgeman Thought.
undoubtedly would have spoken to hir1
about it.
