The order has gone forth from every
camp in the San Juan, Colo, country
that the Chinese must go, and 60
quickly.
Chinese have crossed over into Sill
verton, Ouray, Durango and Leadvilfe,
where their attitude has paralyzed the
Western Labor union, which controls
politics in this quarter. Such condi-
ton has never been seen before, for
the wish of the union has been the
law of the mountain country.
Gov. Orman has been approached
for protection by representatives OF
the Chinese, but his invariable reply
was that the subject was one for the
sheriff OF Ouray county. Vincent ST.
John is the sheriff. He is also presi-
dent of the Miners union.
Gov Orman, in response to tele-
gram from Secretary of State Hay to
the effect that the Chinese minister
had represented to him that Chinese
were being boycotted and threatened
in Ouray, promised to make an inves-

Home, of French workinsmsn.

The home of the French working
man is necessarily very modest
abode Rent in Paris and all the larger
cities is very high and hence the work
ingmau limits his home to two or four
rooms at most. He does not dare ex-
ceed the 5O0-franc limit of rent an
nualiy, as whatever is beyond is SUBJ
ject to municipal taxation. In tho
northern parts of France philanthropie
manufacturers have built hundreds of
cottages, initiating English and Ameri-
can examples; but the buildings are
poor, cold and absolutely destitute OF
sanitation. In Paris, as in the country
sanitary arrangements of all sorts are
almost entirely lacking.

1t Is reported that a process of Gov

however, q poor appearance, and il

Artificial hair has been a difficult
material to make. Cocoanut and
agave fbres have been much used for
stufing furniture, and chemical treat
ment is claimed to make them imper-
v1ous to wet, odorless, elastic, unfelt-
able and unbreakable. But their short
length limits their use in fabrics. The
success OF silk from cellulose has led
some manufacturers at Frankfort-on-
the-Main to make further trials, with
the same substance, and they seem to
have produced not only a very satis-
factory imitation horse hair but
very good substitute for human hair
for wigs. Brittleness of the cellulose,
the troublesome difficulty, was over
come by spinning several threads to-

Wood Prsssrvation by Electricity.
A method Of preserving wood BY
electricity Is described in = recent
number OF Praktischer Maschinencon-
structeur, which is said to be applicable
to woods for all purposes, from that
for railroad ties to that for fine furni-
ture. The apparatus used, according
to the account, is simple. 1t consists
Of q wooden box upon the bottom OF
which a lead plate is placed and con-
nected with the positive. pole oe
the electrical source. Upon this
plate the wood to be treated
is then put and over 1T an
other plate connected with the negative
pole. The box is then filed with a
solution of borax, resin and sodium
carbonate. The effect Of the current
sing to drive the sap out Of the wood
ad replace 1t with the preserving 80
Fion. The wood is kept under treat
<ent for from fve to eight hours,

Thomas A. Edison has practically
completed work on his new storage
battery, which is expected, because of
its economy OF space and power, to
revolutionize power and traction, and
shortly, according to Electricity, an
experimental station will be in opera
ton in the buildings of the Edison
company at Silver Lake. N. j. New
buildings have been erected on the
company's ground, and these, with
the old structures. will be utilized in
making models of the batteries. In
two months 1t is expected the battery
will have been completed and if the
results are as satisfactory as the in
ventor anticipates, the work of manu-

TAXING FOREIGN CORPORATIONS.

Mr.. Lawson Purdy's letter in The Tribune of
yesterday on the proposed corporation tax law
ROW pending before the legislature deserves the
thoughtful consideration of lawmakers He
calls attention TO some features of the measure
which it certainly seems would operate dis
astrously. New-York wants a fair contribution
10 its expenses from the corporations taking ad-
vantage of its vast population and commercial
supremacy to do business here, but it does not
want TO make its tax excessive as to drive
corporations away The revenues of this State
have suffered from the organization in other
States Of corporations which were in all but
name domestic. They enjoyed all the privileges
of New-York and bore none of its burdens. The
proposed law is evidently intended 10 make it
an object for corporations doing business in
New-1ork 10 organize here. That is laudable
purpose, but apparently the measures taken TO
achieve ii are so drastic practically TO inter
fere with trade and suspend the operations
here OF corporations which are properly domi-
ciled elsewhere.
This would be unjust to them and unfortu-
nate for the State Unquestionably many cor
porations which maintain their principal offices
In Aew-fork, and are organized with the pr-
mary purpose of doing business here secure
charters from other States to escape taxation
and conformity TO our corporation laws On
the other hand, there are thousands of cornora
tlons which in good faith carry on their prin-
cipal business elsewhere and do only minor
and incidental business here. Great manufact-
uring concerns Of other States and of Eurone
have branch offices here for the purchase or
sale OF goods. Foreign railroad and steamship
companies maintain offices in this State as
much for the convenience OF our citizens as for
their own profit These corporations should
not he classed with the West Virginia and
New-Jersey concerns, the bulk of whose busi-
ness is transacted within the Jurisdiction of
New-fork, and they entitled 10 a recog-
milton Of their different situation by our statutes
The pending measure proposes to tax all cor
porations doing any business in this State on
the basis Of their entire capital, whether en-
New-York tribune., 1902-02-08

ployed here or elsewhere. That would mean
that a Michigan furniture house, or a French
manufacturer of china. or German or English
transportation company. having millions in
vested in business at home. would have TO pay
a tax TO New-York on all those millions for the
privilege of few thousand dollars worth Of
business transacted in its name in this State If
it did not pay this tax it could not sue in our
courts TO collect claims due from citizens Of
NewYOrk. 1t could only carry on business
through middlemen. and in many instances such
a system would be unsatisfactory to customers
and a practical prohibition of trade.
No company which actually had large pro-
portion of its capital employed outside Of this
State could afford to pay taxes on all that capi-
tai here. and it ought not to be asked to do so.
1t is surely possible for the legislature to draft
a bill which would discriminate between NOM
inal and real foreign corporations. 1t is within
the power of the State to exclude all foreign
corporations entirely from its borders, but so
long it pretends TO permit them to do busi-
ness here it should not practically negative that
permission by prohibitive tax. AS a revenue
measure such a tax would not succeed, and II
it could succeed it would be brigandage. 1t
would be a case of holding up corporation and
demanding a ransom from property and persons
not within our jurisdiction and owing nothing
to our protection.

ADMIRAL SAMPSON.

Secretary Longs official order of retirement
addressed to Rear Admiral Sampson must evoke
in every well informed and right minded citizen
of the United States deep sense of sorrow and
compassion.
When the law ends the active career Of q
commander who has borne great responsible
ties. achieved great successes and served his
country with perfect fidelity at all times, it is
natural to feel some regret that he is no longer
to take an important part in public affairs; but
if he has retained his health and vigor it is a
pleasure TO think of his enjoying, perhaps for
many years. the honor and repose which he has
laboriously earned. In the of Admiral
Sampson that consolation is forbidden. He is
afflicted with great feebleness of body and
mind and sinking not slowly to the grave Sell
dom has this human scene closed in a more pa
thetic and mOurnful manner. The only alleviat
ing reflections are that he is no longer painfully
conscious of the cruelties he has suffered, and
that to his name history, despising the calum-
nes and reversing the passionate prejudices of
to-day. Will
Preserve a broad approach of Fame,
And ever-ringing avenues of Song.
