All tracts of real estate sold to an
actual purchaser or bid in for the
State at the tax judgment sales in 1901
and prior years, should be disposed of
in all respects in accordance with the
former law, the same as if the 1902
law had never been enacted. (See Sec
ton SO, chapter 2, General Laws, 1902

land forfeited to the State is manda-
tory, and must be paid before the issu-
ance of tax deed, all former instruc-
tions and directions relative to the
sale of absolute property are rescinded
and the instructions contained in this
circular will govern.

held, may be sdisposedof by the state
auditor under the authority contained
in section 1916 Statutes 1894 (section

Sexton barricaded his doors and kept a
sharp lookout, rifle in hand. Yesterday
morning the elleged whitecappers made
their appearance and Sexton fired only
one shot, the bullet striking Pink Gibson
in the stomach and passed through a
pocket In which a stick of dynamite was
rife explosion and the ground for a num-
Der of yards around where the unfor-
tunate man stood was torn up.
After the smoke and dust had cleared
away 1t was learned that Gibson had
met instant death, while nine of his COM
panlons had peen Ieleu 10 the erouhu.
The party Immediately retreated. Glib
son was literally blown to atoms, small
portions of his body being found long
distances away.
Sexton notified the authorities of the
occurrence and an inquest was held. The
verdict Of the coroner's jury was that
Pink Gibson came to his death from
the effects of a gunshot wound and tse
explosion of dynamite at the hands OF
Hsrvey Sexton"

AMITY TREATY WITH
SPAIN Is SIGNED
TEXT Is NOT MADE PUBLIC, BUT
1T IS UNDERSTOOD TO BE ONE
OF THE STANDARD KIND-coV-
ERs COMMERCIAL NAVIGATION.

Washington. July 3.-Secretary Hay to-
day received cablegram from Minister
Bellamy Storer at Madrid, announcing
that the Spanish minister of foreign af-
fairs and himself. today signed treaty
Of amity between the United States and
Spain.
The text of the treaty will not be
made public now, but In general terms
1t is one of the standard treaties of
an ity and commercial navigation, which
have been used with little modification.
by the United States government for the
last nineteen years.
1t provides, in brief, that the citizens
of each country shall enjoy equal rights
in the other In the matters of residence,
travel. protection # person and property
and the administration of justice and
taxation. Moreover, they are exempted
from compulsory military service and
forced loans. Reciprocal freedom of
commerce and navigation is provided for
and the usual most favored nation
clause treatment respecting tariff duties
is included. This probably will not result
in the remission of the maximum of tariff
which has been imposed by the Spanish
government since the war on all imports
from the United States. The United
States can secure an abatement of the
high rates only through the conclusion of
specific reciprocity treaty on the same
lines as similar treaties Spain has lately
made win European countries.
Mr.. Storer also is engaged in the nego-
tiations of an extraoition treaty.

struggle, railroad machinists and boiler
makers In the West having made de-
mands that are still unadjusted.
New inquiries in pig iron have come up
in very considerable volume.
Furnaces have not encouraged contract
ing for the new year, and this has rather
stimulated the interest of some buyers,
who recall the attempts of some South
ern furnaces to stave off buying early in
the year, with results that to some buy
ers were not pleasant The largest ne
gotiations in pig iron for 1903 are in the

London. July s.-Everything points to
a satisfactory if somewhat prolonged con-
valescince of the King. 1t is expected
that the bulletins regarding his condition
will soon be reduced to one a day. Only
small crowds haunt the board at the
Buckingham Palace which is an indica-
ton that public confidence has been re-
stored. Only one physician remains at
the palace throughout the night and all
of the doctors are able to attend to the
more pressing portion of their private
practices.
A number of coronation guests left
London today, including the Crown Prince
of Norway and Prince Komatsu of Ja-
pam Both were seen off by gatherings
of distinguished persons at the station
where every one seemed to be in high
spirits with regard to the condition of
the King.
Crowds of the soldiers now in London
make daily pilgrimages to Buckingham
Palace to gaze at the window of His
Majesty's apartment, while people gath
er to stare at the strange uniforms and
stranger faces OF the native soldiers from
distant quarters of the empire. A strik-
ing scene was witnessed today. A big
brake loaded with Fijian soldiers drew
up in front of the palace. The men were
barelegged and bare-headed.

with their white cotton skirts and quaint
tunics they presented a strange spectacle.

HAS SLEPT WELL.
British Medical Journal Satisfied With
the Kings Condition.

London, July 3.-The British Medical
Journal, in expressing a similarly salts
factory view of the Kings condition,
says: "At no time has 1t been necessary
since the operation to use sedatives to
induce the King to sleep.
To medical men who have read the
daily bulletins 1t has been obvious that
the statements therein were entirely
frank. There was great anxiety at first.
Sir Frederick Treves did not go to bed
for seven nights. But the load of anxiety
is now lightened, If 1t has not entirely
disappeared. The rumors regarding the
Kings general health are altogether
unfounded, and confidence Is now felt
that, thanks in an unusual degree to his
sound constitution, the King will make
recovery.'
