as the coronation affair will be.
IL Undemocrntic.
And it is undemocratic and unrcpubIi
like ours to have any other person or
persons TO represent the United States on
the occasion of Edwards coronation than
the American Ambassador to the Court OF
st. James.
When England ceases in her efforts
to destroy the South African Republic
and recognizes the Independence of the
Beers. as she was forced to recognize our
independence in 1716. then perhaps it
might not be amiss to send few of our
ships TO fire gun or two for Edward

Without any special consideration OF

of Erie, Pa, a young student at the Union

killed himself with carbolc acid this
afternoon in his room on the fourth floor
at the seminary. The other students who
knew him say that he had seemed to bs

About o'clock in the Afternoon stu

SENATOR MCMILLAN MAY FIGHT
NEW PERSONAL TAX BILL.

mind the essential features which such a
law ought TO have. The Senator thought
that it would be impossible TO assess and
collect any considerable amount OF revenue
in the manner proposed.
He sald that personal property is, OF all
kinds of possession, capable of conceal
ment. He thought it would be necessary
TO have vastly more drastic measure than
the one proposed to realize any appreci
able results He also said that the very
thing that made the old law weak and
difficult Of enforcement would render the
proposed measure futile.
Senator Mcmillan expressed the opin-
ion that TO make anything out of per
sonal tax law, it would be necessary to
go after personal property with some
thing besides a voluntary affidavit backed
up with mild penalty for proved per-
jury. The Senator gave emphatic express
sion to the idea that il would be neces-
sary to go after personal property with
a sharp stick, If it was to be made use
of as a means of revenue 10 the Dis
trict.
Bill Is in Trouble.
He showed his dissatisfaction with the
bill, and it is understood that it will
either be sent back to the District Build
ing TO be revised or that the Senator
and his committee will do the work
themselves.
1t will be recalled in this connection
that the initiative in drafting the per-
sonal tax law was taken by Senator Nc
MILAN He requested the District Com
missioncrs to have the law put into form,
and the task was entrusted to the AS
SCISSOR 1t is said that the Senator and
the Assessor had long conference be-
fore the drafting of the bill, and that he
supposed the Assessor thoroughly under
stood what was wanted by the Senate
Committee.
Larger Revenues Needed.
Senator Mcmillan believes that the
needs of the District of Columbia require
a somewhat larger revenue. and this he
hopes to secure for the local government
by taxing personal property its full
share. as contemplated in the organic
act of 1878, which, it seems, requires
levy on personal property. For the rea-
sons stated, however, Senator Mcmillan
believes the draft submitted to him is
not a measure suitable 10 the purpose.

the draft of the personal tax bill recently
made by him. The Senator had read the
bill, as published In The Times, and was
ready to enter into discussion with the
Assessor OH tie merits of the proposed
measure as soon as he arrived at his office.
To put the matter bluntly, Senator Nc
MILAN was not at all satisfied With the
bill as drawn, and he proceeded 10 effectu-

PENSION ROLL DECLINING.
Veterans of Civil nnd Mexican War
Dying More Rapidly.

The House Appropriations Committee
promises TO make record for itself this
session.
Pension Commissioner II. Clay Evans
appeared before the subcommittee hav-
ing charge OF the pension appropriation
bill yesterday. After explaining that the
pension roll was row en- the decline-in
other words, that the pensioners of the
civil war and the Mexican war were dying
at largely increased ratio over last year
and that the estimate of sl3S 500, 600 would
be sufficient TO meet all pensions due and
that may become due during the fiscal
year Of 1902 -9a--the subcommittee agreed
to report the pension bill to the full COM
mittee.
The pension appropriation for the fiscal
year of I900-0l was si44.0C0, COO. several
millions of which were covered back into
the Treasury by the Pension Commits
sioner.
The understanding is that the pension
bill Will be reported 10 the House this
week and called up for consideration The
first of next week
This will be the first of the large ap-
propriatl0a bills passed at this session

ELECTION CONTEST HEARINGS.

At yesterdays meeting of Elections
Committee No. .. OF which Mr. OImsted
of Pennsylvania is chairman, parties in
the Ohio contested election case Of Lentz
VS.. Tompkins were notified to be present
next Tuesday when a date will be fixed
for argument.
In the South Carolina contested election
case of Dantzler VS.. Stokes it appeared
that since the contest was filed Mr.
Stokes has died, a new election held. and
Mr.. Lever been elected. The latter ap-
peared before the committee and asked
to intervene and defend against Mr.
Dantzler's claim. If MIR. Dantzler should
succeed it would, of course, show Mr.
Levers election, as well as that of Mr.
Stokes, TO have been Illegal.
In the North Carolina case of Fowler
VS.. Thomas the latter appeared and was
notified that the committee would hear
arguments upon the 18th, 2lst. or Goth of
January, counsel for the respective
parties might agree, this latitude being
given on account OF the distance from
Washington.
Lawyers of national reputation have
been engaged in all these cases.

WHAT'S THE USE
Sticking to Any Habit When II
Means Sure Death.


Means Sure Death:
Old King Coffee knocks subjects out toll
erably fiat at times, and there is no pos
sible doubt of what did it. A lady gives
her experience: Il used to have liver
trouble nearly all of the time, and was
compelled to take some liver medicine
like calomel, which relieved me only for
little while. Then every once in while
would be suddenly doubled up with an
awful agony in my stomach. 1t seemed
as though every time | took breath
would die. No one could suffer any more
and live.
Finally l got down so sick with ca
tarrh of the stomach that l could not
turn over in bed, and my stomach did not
digest even milk. The doctor finally told
me that if | did not give up drinking cot-
fee would surely die, but l felt l could
not give it up.
However, husband brought home
package OF Postum Food Coffee, and it
was made strictly according to directions.
1t was the only thing that would stay on
my stomach, and | soon got SO l liked it
very much.
Gradually l began to get better. and
week by week gained in strength and
health. Now / am in perfect condition.
and | am convinced that the whole cause
of my trouble was from coffee drinking,
and my getting better was due to leaving
off coffee and taking Postum.
IA short time ago | tasted some coffee
and found TO my astonishment. that l
did not care anything about 1t. | never
have to take liver medicine any more.
hope you will use this letter for the bene
fit of those suffering from the poisonous
effects of coffee. | would gladly send to
those who wish the address of my attend
ing physician, who will corroborate what
say. Mrs. Abner Marion, Clinton.

me service Of ,hs Lwo couutl!es.
Although C.ant Cassini stated in the
most positive manner that he has not
heard from his Government relative to
the trouble at N!euchwang. it is never
theless known that he fully realizes that
the conflicts there might assume serious
proportions If not stopped by the au-
thorities.
To Prevent Trouble.
In order to ascertain exactly what step1
have been taken by the State and Navy
Departments he saw Secretary Hay. and
was assured by him that Commander Bar
ry had been notified to take the utmost
care that no further trouble ensued
The difficulties presented to the State
Department by the Nieuchwang affair are
mdHlOIu AS one OElcldl Ut the uepdTt-
ment aptly put the matter, the situation
there is abnormal. Without any known
right the Russian Government has prac-
tically seized the treaty ports of Nieu-
chwang and has placed the town under
its police and arbitrary regulations.
Resent New Move.
There is no question but that the Amer
lean and English diplomatic representa-
tivos there have resented this action on
the part of Russia, and gradually the re-
lations between these officials have become
strained to such an extent as to be criti-
cal. The Vicksburg cannot leave its pres
ent position until the spring. and. OF
course. 1t will be utterly impossible to
keep the men from going ashore until
that time.
When released from the restraint of ma
val discipline it is feared that the sailors
will again take up the fight of the higher
officials and bring about crisis which the
Department of State is anxious to avoid.
Russia May Draw Down.
According to the hest of authority at
the State Department assurances have
been received by this and the English
Governments that Russia will relinQuish
In any event tho disposition is to grant
concessions for the present. in the hope
that Russia will allow matters to drift
along without making any move looking
to the seizure of Nanohuria.
