Newfoundland VIII Wait Until the
Boer War 10 Disposed OF.


Boer War 10 Disposed OF.
st. Johns, N. F.. Jan. 30.-The colo
NAL government has undertaken to re-
new for the present year the French
shore modus vivendi. which expired
on Dec. 81 last.
Mr.. Chamberlain, the British colo
NAL secretary, wired the colonial gov
eminent a request for this action last
Saturday, urging his desire to dispose
of the Boer war before reviving nego-
tiations with France respecting the
Newfoundland shore. The colonial
cabinet, in acquiescing to Mr.. Cham
berlain's request, recited the fact that
it was done as the colony's contribu-
ton towards the solution of the i'm
perial problems in South Africa. New
foundland, being unable to send men
there, takes this means of testifying
her cooperation in the imperial pol.
Icy and is confident that the redress OF
her grievances will be next under
taken.
It is generally understood that this
Is the last time this measure Will be
renewed and that it is only done now
for the foregoing reason.

LITTLE DAMAGE DONE.
Colombian and Revolutionary Fleets
Have an Engagement.

Panama, Colombia, Jan. 3O.-The
Colombian government fleet, consist
ing of the steamers Boyaca and Chu-
quito and the armed launch General
Campo, which left here to make an at
tempt to break the blockade of Aqua
Dulce. where the revolutionary fleet
was last seen, and to communicate
with General Castro, the Colombian
commander, met the insurgent steamer
Padilla at Yeguala, 80 miles from Pan
anna, and opened fire on her. The rev.
dictionary steamers Darien and Gaitan
appeared on the scene soon after the
engagement began. The fire of the
Chucuito was so we'll directed that it
caused the revolutionary fleet to draw
In towards the shore, where the en-
emy's ships were protected by land
batteries. The Chucuito and Boyaca
then retired unmolested and arrived
here at p. m. The General Campo
was not engaged.
The forces of General Herrera, the
revolutionary commander, are at San
Carlos, 40 miles from Panama.

tended that it was far from the inten-
ton Of the tax commission to Cypress
the grain, the shipping or any other
interests. The legislature had declared
for revision of the tax laws, and the
commission had endeavored to carry
out the behest of the legislature. If
the delegation from Duluth could sug-
gest way by which the clauses tax
ing grain in the elevators and taxing
shipping might be modified without
destroying the effectiveness of the bill,
the governor and the commission were
ready to agree to it. That was the
practical question. A tax revision
must be had, and the question was to
have one that was as nearly just as
may be and at the same time not in
imical to business interests.
1t was suggested that an exception
might be made in favor of certain ter
minal elevators engaged in interstate
commerce. 1t was asserted that of
the grain handled by Duluth elevators,
at least seventy-five per cent was from
places outside of the state, and that
it was manifestly unfair to tax this
grain while awaiting shipment to
eastern markets.
AS to vessels, exceptions might be
made of those navigating international
waters.
On the other hand, it was urged that
the proper thing to do was for the ele-
vator men all over the state, at least
the men interested in terminal eleva-
, tors, to confer, agree upon taxation
clause which would be satisfactory to
these interests, and appoint commit
, tee to present it to the legislature in
the form of an amendment.
The time had passed for any other
action. Neither the governor nor the
tax commission could recall the report
and it was for the legislature to de
eide what should be done.
To this the reply was made that the
call for the extra session had followed
so rapidly on the heels of the tax com
missioners' report that it was all dom
before the interests threatened hat
caught their secoud breath.
1t is understood that the Duluth
people will make arrangements to tel
their troubles to the legislature whel
it meets, and will try to get other in
terests in similar situation Through
out the state to join with them.

A NOTABLE TRIUMPH.

Arbitration is certainly making pro-
gress. 1t has recently been successful
ly applied to labor troubles and to in
ternational troubles, and now it has had
a triumph in that most important and
complicated of troubles, a football
trouble. The University of California
and Leland Stanford, jr., University got
into row over the athletic status of
a. football player. The question was de-
cided by a committee of fifteen grad
yates of eastern and foreign institu-
lions, fourteen Of which were represent
ed. Stanford had preferred the charge
of professionalism against "Locomo-
tive Smith, California's star halfback.
ulty did not concede it, but asked for
an arbitration committee to settle the
question on its merits. The president
of the University club of San Francisco
was asked to appoint an impartial COM
suited in a committee composed Of two
Harvard graduates and one man each
from Yale, university of Vermont, vir-
ginia military institute, Annapolis, uni
versity Of Michigan, Lehigh, Brown,
Cornell, Hamilton, and the university
Of Toronto. Stanford presented her case
in the form of legally prepared data,
and won 1t by the unanimous decision
Of the board.
AS Locomotive Smith was one of
the best players on CALIFORNIA; team,
there is woe among his gang. But there
seems to be no thought of rebelling
against arbitration.

Il NEW TR UST.

An interesting development of the
trrst idea is going on in Minnesota. In
two adjoining towns in that State there
were formerly six saloons. A few weeks
ago the proprietors got together and
concluded that two saloons-one in
each town-couid supply all the liquid
refreshments required by the people.
Four of the saloons are, therefore. to
be closed. 1t is estimated that $4,000
will be saved, to begin with, in licenses.
There will also be saving in rent, light
and fuel. Then the six saloonkeepers
will take turns in working, and the
services of bartenders will be dispensed
with. The men in this Trust figure
that they will sell just as much liquor
in the two saloons as they formerly
sold in the six, and the profits of each
will be larger.
1t will be interesting to see how this
new Trust works. 1t will not be sur
prising if 1t finds soon that it has COM
petition, just as many Of the other
Trusts which imagined they had things
fixed about right have found.

NEW 4IMES, NEW CUSTOMS.

Last week there was an uproar at the
Andrew jackson school in Chicago,
where pupils went on strike because
they didn't approve of a change of
teachers. Fortunately the affair didn't
lead to bloodshed, and the school board
is now considering the situation. If it's
decision is satisfactory to the children
all will be we'll and further disturbance
will be averted. But there are some
old-fashioned. people in progressive
Chicago who think that the parents of
the striking children haven't done just
right. Thus the Chicago News thinks
there should have been energetic in
tervention" by the parents when the
strike began. And it adds: Meantime
it is quite as important that they (the
parents) abide by the action of the con-
stituted authorities and require their
children to do likewise. Even in this
free and Independent age it will be ad-
uIiLtEu LlIot 1luI duALC
wise as are their parents, nor will the
head of any family feel that it would
be advisable to relinquish all parental
authority and leave his sons and
daughters to their own guidance. The
action of the pupils of the Andrew
Jackson school is Of a kind to appeal
to juvenile imagination and lead to en-
ulation. A general outbreak of school
strikes would be anything but helpful
to the maintenance of school discipline.
It's ultimate effect in fostering a. spirit
of INSTRUMENTATION and an unwillingness
