NO OPPOSITION.
House IMAM imOu4ly Passes War Tax
Revision Bfll-Senate Rntifles
Danish Treaty.

Washington, Feb. 1S.-The mexpect-
ed happened in the house Monday
when the bill to repeal the war rev.
enue taxes was passed unanimously
without word of debate. This ac-
ton was the outcome of a challenge
thrown down by Mr.. Richardson
(Tenn.), the minority leader, after
the adoption by strict party vote of
special order for the consideration
of the bill which permitted debate
upon it until four o'clock Tuesday aft
ernoon, but cut off all opportunity to
offer amendments except such as had
been. agreed upon by the ways and
means committee. Every vote, 27S in
number, was cast in the affirmative
and thus quietly and unanimously
came the end of what at one time had
promised to be one of the most excit-
ing contests of the session.
(The war taxes, the repeal Of which
was voted by the house, produced rev.
enue from July to Dece mber 81. 1901. of
s37,9S2.S72, and for the current fiscal year
would have produced about $4,000, 900.
The distribution of these taxes is as fol-
lows:

uments. insurance policies. bonds, GER
tificates of stock and similar matters.
$4,000, 900; schedule B. including all items

HAY SENDS WARNING.
Secretary of State Notifies China and
Russia That Former Must Con-

Picking, Feb. 20.-A sensation was
caused in diplomatic circles here
Wednesday when it became known
that the United States, through Secre-
tary of State John Hay, had sent a
note to The Russian and Chinese gov
ernments following closely along the
lines of the Anglo-Japanese treaty of
January 30. The note is a distinct
warning to both China and Russia that
the United States will not permit the
integrity of the empire to be mo-
Tested in favor of one nation to the
detriment of another; that any agree
ment giving any corporation exclusive
right in the development of Manchu-
ria would be viewed with the gravest
concern by the United States, because
it constitutes a monopoly which is
disctinct breach of the stipulations of
the treaties concluded between China
and foreign powers, and thereby Sc
riously affects the rights of American
citizens -..

That is an interesting theory which
comes from the Pacific coast that the
climate Of Alaska has undergone a
radical reform by change in the
course of one of the great ocean cur
rents. The theory is that an earth
quake has caused subterranean
changes which have given a turn to the
so-called Japan current that will con-
vert Alaska from a land of perpetual
Ice to one of perpetual summer. It is
a beautiful theory from an academic
point of view, but it looks very much
like an attempt to boom Alaska real
estate.
