Says Bishop Kahn Can Sell.

Judge Hough of the st. Louis circuit
court has decided that Archbishop Kahn
has a right to sell the property or the
Immaculate Conception church. Judge
Hough said he believed it had been
shown that the property was cathedral,
or diocesan property, according to the
canons of the church, and as such the
archbishop had a right to sell it if he
wished. The parishioners, he said, had
no property right in it to entitle them
to have an injunction granted. The til
tie. he said, was held by the bishop in
trust for cathedral purposes, and if the
bishop followed the laws of the church
there was no reason why he could noti
sell it. ~

TWO REPORTS FILED
ON BILL TO REDUCE
WAR REVENUE IN TAXES
Democrats, While Approving the
Step, Want Congress to Engage in
General Revision but to Maintain
Tax on Accumulated Wealth.

Washington, Feb. Both the ma
jority and minority reports were fled
or the war revenue repeal bill today.
The majority report says that the prob
ability of the early withdrawal of the
troops from Cuba and the reduction of
the force in the Philippines will make
further reductions possible, and also
reviews the condition of the treasury.
1t cannot be denied, it says, that a
large surplus furnishes a temptation for
e~xtravagant expenditure and, while
congress may generally be relied upon
to keep the national expenses within
reasonable bounds. it should be reliev-
ed from the pressure which with plausi-
BILE schemes, from every quarter, to raid
an overlooking treasury.
Minority for General Revision.
The minority report approves of the
proposed reductions, but asserts that
they should have been made long ago.
1t also advocates a general revision of
tariff taxation with a retention of taxes
on accumulated wealth. There is a
general denunciation of the Dingley
law as the mother of trusts" and the
reports says it enables the manufactur-
ers to charge a far greater price to the
home consumers than are received
abroad for the same goods. which is
characterized in plain robbery"
Taxing Accumulated Wealth.
while in approving in general the
policy of repeating the war taxes" says
the minority, I'VE insist that certain
taxes on accumulated wealth should be
allowed to remain. We refer to such
taxes as are imposed on sugar and pc
troleum %refiners. A tax of one-fourth
of one per cent on the annual gross
receipts of sugar and petroleum refiners
in excess of $780, 900 yields about 81
O00,O annually. This tax has been
paid without demur or protest, and
there is no reason why the great COM
blnations which ~monopolize tn csc bust
ness and from which colossal undivid-
ual fortunes have been built up. should
not pay some part of the national ex-
.penses, as well as the masses of the
people who use and consume the vari-
Gus things which are the subject of GUS
toms and international revenue taxa
ton.
Consider 1t Just.
A the supreme court denied con-
gress the right to tax incomes for the
support of the government. it is well to
place accumulated wealth under some
form of contribution, and we know of
none more just or equal than a tax such
as tina imposed by the wal revenue act
on Oil, and sugar refiners."

SAW FIRE SIGNALS.
British Captain Thinks Late Mutineers
Are on Pitcairn Island.

Are on Pitcairn Island.
New York, Dec. 6.-The captain Of
the British ship Howth from Austria
liza, reports, according to a Herald
dispatch from San Francisco that on
Sept. Is, when off Pitcairn island, fire
signals were noticeable He says
he made every effort to take his ship
in, but he was baffled in his attempts
by the severe weather.
The captain is of the opinion that
the mutineers of the Leiscester Castle,
whose story was told yesterday in a
dispatch to the Associated Press from
Queenstown, had reached Pitcairn is
land, and that the signals were due
to the desire of the inhabitants to get
rid of the undesirable visitors.
The Leicester Castle shipped IA
men at this port. These men signed

consul on July %, last, the day be.
fore the vessel calle dout of the har.
Dor Among these men were James
Turner with Hobbs and E. Sears, and
they We're the only Americans among
the crew
They were shipped at a time wher
sailors were scarce in the port ant

regular shipping masters the price

were picked up at various places alonG

AMERICAS RUSSIAN TRADE.

years ago left his home in the fish

business with a native merchant in
a Siberian town at the mouth of the
Amoor river, is in this city He now
maintains storehouses at Vladivostock
and along the Amoor river, at differ
ent points upon Lake Baikal and the
Transsiberian road at Moscow, at St.
Petersburg and in Hamburg. He de-
clares the Russian trade demands
everything American from steel twin
screw steamer to an American shoe.
What the United States and Rus
STA need now and must have" contin-
ued Mr. Emory, lis a new commercial
treaty. Two countries, each of which
has the warmest and friendliest feel
ing for the other have not time 70
bicker over sugar, oil or anything else.
There is a country that neds our ma
chinery and our products of every
sort. The people want it from us
rather than from any other country
of the world, and we should arrange
It so that we could supply them. We
must have a reciprocal treaty, and get
into Russia on the ground floor, and
the control of the trade of an empire
of 100000 people and soon to be
the wealthiest country in the world
would be ours.
There is no doubt of Russ&as atti-
tude toward this country. We have
no better friend on the continent The
tariff raised against the United States
not long ago because of the attitude
toward Russian sugar is only an Incl
dent. am confident it would not
last month longer than the beginning
of negotiations"
