Costa Rica Paper Taunts the United States.

Correspondence of Associated Press.
 San Jose Costa Rica, Jan. S.-El Siglo today published an editorial headed '"rhe Northern Eagle" showing very bitter feeling against the United States as will be seen from the following extracts:
 The imposing territorial expansion of North America has given birth first, 10 violence-trampling on all the principles of justice-and the Latin republics that can do so ought to prepare for the strug- gle and, if necessary to fight, if, with peaceful and impartial means they are unable to obtain a guarantee and due respect for their sovereignty and inde- pendence.
 Brazil, Chile, Argentina and Venezue- la do not fear the American eagle. either morally or materially.
 'Venezuela, the humblest of the four, is able to raise an army of 30O,00O brave and we'll drilled soldiers in twenty-four hours; and the Argentine republic can raise S0O,000 men with an unrivaled cavalry Could the American eagle ever subdue these territories when today 1t cannot even put down the Filipinos?
 "Olney and Hay understood this very well and they amuse themselves in de- ceiving us when talking of peace, arbitra- ton and commercial intercourse and try to carry out their policy through diplo- macy.

PAYMENT OF THE POLL TAX Lowe Urges Democrats
 !$Act.
 $. TIME /. GROWING SHORT $ Circular Letter to Chairmen 0f County Committees. The Provisions of the New Consti- tuition Which Make the Pay
 ment of Poll Taxes Pre- requisite of Voting.
E s.1 GROWING SHORT

Birmingham, = Jan. S.-(Special. )-The payment of poll-tax being a prerequisite for voting in future elections in Alabama, Robert J. Lowe, chairman of the Demo- cratic State Executive Committee. this evening issued the following circular
 letter to the chairmen of the various
 County Democratic Executive Commit
 tees:
 Birmingham, Ala, Jan. 9th. 1902.
 Dear Sii-Asf chairman of the State
 Executive Committee of the Democratic
 and Conservative Party of Alabama,
 which organization is responsible for the
 formulation and ratification of our new
 Constitution, I take this method of re-
 minding you that as a prerequisite for
 voting in the general election to be held
 in November, the elector, if between the
 ages of A and 45 years. must have paid
 on or before the first day of February, 1902, all poll-taxes due by him for the year 1901. See Section IFS of the Consti- tuition.
 NO person subject thereto who fails to pay such poll-tax on or before the first day of February next, can legally
 participate in any party primary or con- vention for the nomination of candidates to be voted for in such election. See Sec- | ton 1S3.
 "The amount of the poll-tax is s1.5o, but only those between the ages of T and 45 years are required to pay poll-tax. Nor are any subject to poll-tax who were not | so subject at the time of the ratification | of the Constitution. See Section 194
 No person who was on the first day | of last October, over 45 years of age and | no person who at the time of the ratif- ! cation ot the constitution was for any cause exempt therefrom, is now required | to pay any poll tax. See Sec. 194. q have been thus explicit for the I reason that the provisions relative to the payment of poll tax are not well known | and have been much misrepresented. invite your assistance to the end that | every voter in your county who is sub- | ject to poll tax, may be reminded of the necessity of paying the same on or be- fore the first day of February. Please also invite your newspapers to cal public attention to the matter. The time is very short now and l invoke your prompt action. Yours truly, Robert !. Lowe. Chairman State Democratic Executive l, Committee
 Chairman Lowe will also issue a circu lar letter to the newspapers of the State | requesting them to keep the public notified of the poll tax provision of the new constitution.

LANDS OF THE INDIANS
INVESTIGATION OF LEASING
 SYSTEM IS ASKED.
Senator Rawlins Reads Letters Which lndicate That Fraud Has Been Committed in Utah.
 Introduces a Resolution.

washington Jan. 9.-Senator Rawlins today introduced a resolution in the Sen ate directing the Senate Committee on Indian Affairs to investigate the question of the leasing of mineral lands owned by Indians and a number of letters which he had read revealed the fact that the resolution was intended especially to se- cure an investigation of the leasing of such lands in the Indian reservations in Utah. The resolution says in part:
 ''The committee is instructed to make inouries as to what methods have been employed to obtain the consent of the ln- dians to such leases and the approval thereof by the Secretary of the Interior; and what companies have been organ ized and combinations formed to obtain such leases: where have the. organiza- lions taken place; who are the stockhold- CTS and officers thereof; and whether any persons connected with Congress or the Government of the United States or hold ing office hereunder have been or now are interested in or engaged in, the pro- motion of such companies or combina- tions in obtaining leases for mineral lands within Indian reservations"
 Senator Rawlins had read letters from E R. Harper, who occupied the position of allotment agent to Agent Myton and others at the Unitah Reservation. They were written from Washington In the lat ter mart of 1ssS and the first part of 1899. and some of them were written on official paper of the Indian Bureau They deal especially with the importance of getting the first permit for lease and then, when that became impossible, or preventing the consummation of a per init secured by another person whose name was Timms. In one of the letters written to s. NJ. Miller, March s, 1S99, Harusr advised against any connection with other would-be leasers. 'as, he said. i've have better chances at the other end of the line and equally as good here}'
 In the same letter he said: '"rinms is working from here through Mcdonald, the veterinary surgeon at the post. but you need not fear the doctor as he will very soon be put out of the way. It may be advisable to lay low until he gets his orders to leave and is gone away. Thoman is the only man that needs looking after. He has been try ing to get Myton off the reservation so as to get a chance to treat with him and get him away from us if possible, which do not think it is"
 March 13 he dwelt on the chances of getting Mcdonald out Of the way ana said: We must knock him until he is out of the way"
 In his letter of this date he says; Saturday l will be appointed alloting agent and from that time on l will have nothing to do with the lease matter publicly" l can. of course. be expected to look after the ditch interests of the dear Indians"
 March IA. he advised that Miller should go away from the reservation for a time, saving: We must not put any officer in the hole by anything We may say "T do."

,Pelxip. Jan. g.-While the actual casual ties during the fighting at New chwans between American sailors belonging 10 the United States gunboat Vicksours which is wintering there and Russian soldiers attached to the garrison or that port are trifiing up to date, the matter has resulted in unplsasantly strained relations between the American, Russian and British authorities there. The Washington and St. Petersburg Govern mrnts are now endeavoring to arrange matters so that there may be no further friction.
 The trouble originated in the action or some sailors belonging to the British sloop of war Algerine, also in winter quarters at New Chwang, in carrying ashore six rifles for use in theatrical performance. The Russian administra- ton sent a force of men to arrest the British sailors. The Russians. however, by mistake broke into a reading room where party of the vicksburg,s men were seated and tried to arrest them. The Americans resisted. defending them-
 
 selves with chairs. They were over powered after a sharp fight, however and handed over le United states cors,, on board the Vicksbul
 The ba -e wnlch arose incident resulted in several hghts "heh' sver American or British sailors met Russian soldiers, and the latter. not be- ing accustomed to fist fights were usually badly worsted This condition Of af- fairs eliminated New Years day in more serious affray and the Russian Min ister here, M. Paul Lessar. complained to Minister Conger that two members oi the vicksburg's crew had fired a. revolver at an unoffending Russian soldier wounding him in the arm.
 Relations between the American ane British consuls and naval commanders and the Russian administrator at, New Chwang are strained, which makes { friendly settlement of the affairs diff fieuli. AThe administrator attempted ts enforce a social code which the foreigr officials refused to recognize.
 r The memorandum presented by the Russian Minister to the United States Minister here related to various alleged
