REPORT TEN TREATIES.
Senate Foreign Relations Committee
Does Some Quick Work.

| Washington, April 24.-It was agreed
yesterday by formal vote of the SEN
ate foreign relations committee to re-
| of the committee all the reciprocity
| treaties which have been pending be-
fore that body for more than two years.
| Each of the ten treaties will be taken
up and voted upon, and will be sent to
the senate either with a favorable or
unfavorable report.
1t is possible that some of the less
important treaties with the South
American countries may be reported
with favorable recommendation, but
ii is extremely doubtful if the French
treaty to which there has been so much
objection, will receive favorable consid-
Grafton. A number of the republican
members of the committee are opposed
to the French reciprocity treaty chiefly
because 1t is asserted that the United
States comedies a great deal more than
1t receives. In the judgment of the
senate leaders none of these treaties
will be ratified. even If they are re-
ported with favorable recommends

Friday. and, after it has disposed OF
these treaties, the docket of the foreign
relations committee will be cleared for
the first time in years. This condition
of affairs is due largely to the energy
and industry OF Senator Cullom. Since
he became chairman of the foreign re-
lations committee he has been instru-
mental in reporting to the senate a
great many treaties which have been
tending in the committee for years.
Every one remembers how promptly
he secured the ratification of the treaty
transferring the Danish West Indies to
the United States. He was com
mended and thanked by President
Roosevelt for his excellent work, and
Senator Frye. the presiding officer of
the senate, and Senator Morgan, one of
the oldest members of the body, both
of whom are members of the foreign
relations committee personally coma
graduated Senator Cullom for his ex-
cellent work in disposing of all the
treaties before his committee.

fore the raking fire.
The insurgents by long odds, had

DIR. Terry said that United States
flags We're in great demand during the
hombardment, and residents restorted
to their use as source of protection.
Wherever an American flag was hung
out the inmates and property We're re-
ligiously respected by both sides.
Troops on both sides seized the launch
es and barges of the American fruit
companies, and they were not released
until after the town was taken by the
liberals.
Several days previous to the surren-
der of the town the commander of the
United States gunboat Machias, which
is at Bocas looking after American in
terests, went to the commander of the
liberal troops and demanded that he
release all the property of the Ameri-
cans. AT that time a part of the lib
erals were camped on an island, and
this plea was put up by them that If
the launches We're taken away the men
would die from starvation, as they had
very little food then, and that was the
only way they could secure it from
the shore.
They were given until the next
by the American commander,
but at daylight neither launches nor
men were to be found.

IMPORTANT TAX DECISION.
Nebraska Supreme Court Holds
Against Corporations in Assessment


Lincoln, Neb.. April 24.-The su
rreme court of Nebraska has overruled
the findings of Referee Ryan in the
case Of the Real Estate Exchange OF
Omaha against the Omaha city council
in which the Real Estate Exchange
sued for writ Of mandamus to compel
the council to reconvene. as a board OF
equalization and hear complaints
against the alleged low assessment OF
the property of public service corpora
tions of the city of Omaha.
The decision is perhaps the most i'm
portant Of the kind ever given and will
be as far-reaching in its effects as the
famous school teachers case of Chi
cago. The decision, in reversing the
recommendation of the referee, finds
for the Real Estate Exchange on every;
point of law, and decides that the writ
shall issue.
The mandamus demands that the
franchise corporations shall be as
sessed on the same basis as private
property.
That section Of the general revenue
law, under which corporations have
heretofore deducted the amount of
their bonded indebtedness from the
value of their property for taxation
purposes, is declared unconstitutional
On the manner of assessing franchises
corporations must pay taxes in proper
ton to the value of the entire prop
erty, the same as other property.
Il The opinion affects the entire state
and is not appealable.
That part of the finding of Referee
Ryan declaring the city council to be
"capricfous and arbitrary" in refusing
to hear the complaints and construct
ing the cases against that body is sus-
tanned

MIR. Dalzell, of Pennsylvania, from
the committee on rules, then presented
the special continuing order agreed to
by the committee some time ago to
provide for the consideration of the
senate amendments to the oleomargar-
inc bill. Mr.. Cowherd, of Missouri, Wig
orously opposed the adoption of the
rule. Last week. he said, the house
considered bill for the relief of the
Cubans. The program was to be tears
and sympathy for the poor of Cuba and
sneers and taxes for the poor of Amer
lea. AS an indication of what would
happen when this bill went into effect,
Mr.. Cowherd said that Immediately
after the passage Of the oleomargarine
bill by the senate the price 0f butter
went up cents in New York and 3
cents in Chicago.
Dalzell, replying to Mr. Cowherd
said the merits of the bill We're not now
Under consideration. The order was
simply designed to give the house a
chance to pass upon it's merits.
The rule was adopted by 1872 to 10.

margarine bill.

Journal characterizes it as the first

1.-THE interests Of the entire world are
opposed to America monopolizing the
whole shipping traffic of the world, or
using international navigation to de-
velop its own export trade and serve
it's own political ends. The present or
ganization contains the root of still

be the strongest member. notwith-
standing the fact that Germany is able
to bring into the pool a hundred times
the traffic of America, yet the superior
organized financial power of the Nor
gan syndicate will eventually give the
United States supreme control
From the standpoint of national in
terests the trust is the most dangerous
conceivable, and it is only natural that
the states affected should watch the
development most closely and take
every precaution possible. 1t may be
found necessary to extend the system
of state ownership ~ the sphere hith-

Plan to Prevent Independent

London, April 24.-The great inter
national shipping combination is now
said to be seeking control of certain
English trunk railways, with the evil
Gent intention of preventing freight
destined for the United States being
carried by steamers not in the cornbi-
nation.
1t is said that overtures have been
made already to the London & South
western railway. The officials Of the
road, however. make an explicit denial
The Daily News revives the rumor that
Americans are buying the Great Cen
trail railway.
These persistent rumors intensity the
alarm caused by combination and it's
possible effects on the future of the
country's commerce. Stress is laid on
the danger of the AUGMENTATION of
England.
The Daily Mail doubts If in the flu
ture the ships built under the combina-
TONS auspices will remain under the
flag to which they belong. 1t adds tina,
there may be an attempt to keep up the
name and prestige of the White Star
line, but If other vessels are built it, is
more than likely that the exigencies of
the organization will necessitate, plac-
ing them under one flag, that is, the
American.
