development encourage the anarchistIc
spirit We cannot give full protection
to olr officials merely by passing
laws for the puni5hm ent OF those
who assault them; neither can we
give them adequate protection ny
closing our gates to those known to

is LONG ON CASH
Uncle Sam Finds 10 Much Money Is
Accommodating,

-ACCunllllatlEG
President Roosevelt is deeply i'm
c.ssed by the necessity of dcvising n
way to prevent the surplus from pilin-
up in the treasury. Secretary Cages
purchase of bonds has afforded but par
tial relief, but money has been put in
circulation by that method and the in
terest hearing debt of the country has
been reduced. The secretary will be
guided i'll the future by the condition of
the money market, and, having provided
for the requirements of the sinking fund,
he may take further steps in lessening
the surplus by the sale of bonds.
Those who have talked with the presi-
dent say that he will recommend " con-
grrss Il reduction of the revenues by
cutting off the war taxes as much as pos
sible. In fact. the president believes
that If rigid economy be exercised in the
public expenditures all the WAY taxes can
be abolished. but that will be Il question
for further serious dclileraiion.
The bad policy of piling III money in
the treasury is so apparent that those
who have called the presidents attention
TO the process of money exhaustion from
the ordinary channels find him already
we'll advised concerning the situation.
Members of the national committee have
made recommendations for IL reduction
OF the war taxes. Some. notably Payne
of Wisconsin, favor their entire aboli-
ton. The War tax reduction made i'm the
last congress were estimated mt SlO.O00.-
GOO. 1t is probable that not more than
S22o.0O0,OoO of Il reduction can be shown.
This is due to the tremendous growth of
business i'll revenue taxable goods caused
by the prosperous condition of the ceun-
try. and it is argued that if the condi-
tions continne to improve. as sccms like
ly. the reduction of internal revenue tax
es already made will scarce make an inn
preston on the aggregate receipts.

Minnihaha County Young Woman
Escapes from Assaflant.

Miss Violet Whitaker, aged 90. who
teaches a country school in Highland
township, Minnehaha County, was the
victim of a brutal assault. She went to
school Tuesday morning. but as the day
was rainy no pupils appeared. She re.
manned at work in the school house unit.
IL 80, when a dark c~omplexioned man
about % years old appeared and asked
for money. Finding the young lady
alone. he grew insulting and finally at
tempted to assault the girl.
In the struggle which ensued the young
lady's clothing was badly torn. She
made a desperate and successful struggle
to preserve her honor. The sleeve of her
waist was torn entirely off, and her flesh
was lascerated about her shoulders and
arms. Becoming angry the rascal drew
a knife and made IL murderous jab.
which cut the girl in the arm. Miss
Whitaker finally succeeded III reaching
the door. and. sprinsing out, ran scream-
ing loudly for assistance. This fright
ened her assailant, who disappeared.
When the relatives of the girl heard of
the attempted assault they formed IL
posse and thoroughly searched the coun-
try. but no trace of the villain could be
found.

In a dense fog the Canada Pacific
steamer Hating. from Skagway to Van

Bay. Jcrvis Island. and is now hard and
fast ON the rocks. The place is II small
rocky islct. lying to the northeast of La
quetti Island. nj the entrance to Sabine
Strait. forty-ninc miles north of Nancou-
Yer. When the steamer went ashore the
fog was so dense that IT was impossible
to see ten feet in any direction. The
Hating had on board 40 passengers.
There Was no panic when the steamer
struck, and the passengers were soon
made aware that no danger WAS to be APP
pretended. After examination OF the
steamer when it WAS found that she
could not get off the rocks by her own
efforts. Capt. Gossc started Pilot Gums
Oil to Vancouver in II boat with -four men.
He met no steamer on his cruise until
he had rowcd t~hirty-iivc miles of the dis
tancc, when Il tug picked them up. Upon
his arrival ut Vancouver Pilot Gums
stated while the Hating was fast on the
rocks he thought she was not greatly
damaged. The steamer Joan was dis
patched from Naninlo to JEWS Island to
Jake as many passengers as possible from
the liating and bring them down to Van
couvcr. The collier Mandc left for the
scene of the wreck with n number of
Canadian Pacific officials. The vessel is
valued at about S24O,OOO.
The steamer Willapa left Vancouver
to assist in the rescue of the tcamcr
Hating.

Hating arc TO the effect that Il big hole
has been discovered in the steamers bot.
tom. If is stated that mt high tide the
stern is under seven feet of water. The
passengers have all becn taken to an nd.

vices to the effect that the Hating will
be Il total loss. Capt. Gossc, who was

The State Department has e~ndeavored
to bring about a compromise with the
captors of Miss Ellen III. Stone, the mis-
sionary who was abducted from near Sa-
makox, in Turkey, by supposed brisands
and taken into the Balkan mountains to
await the payment Of a ransom for her
return to her friends. Miss Stones rela-
tives and friends and others interested
in her case petitioned the President and
the State Department by wire and letter
to secure an extension of time i'll Which
the ransom demanded by the bri!ands
may be raised, assuring President Roose-
welt and Assistant Secretary Adee that
the $4,000 needed to secure her release
will be Forthcoming in a very short inc.
The Vienna correspondent of the Lon.
don Express declares that the statement
that Miss Stone will be executed if the
ransom is not paid has absolutely no
foundation. A telegram from Sofia, re-
ceived Mt Vienna, stated that the brigands
have offered to wait a month for the
money. They would never dream of muir
dering her while there is the slightest
chance of obtaining a ransom.
