"The meeting which occurred April

Pauncefote, as dean of the ambassa-

of his colleagues. Whatever opinions
were expressed by Lord Pauncefote
during the discussion, which was Of
an informal character, were personal
to himself and not pursuant to in
structions from her majesty's govern
ment. The discussion resulted in an
agreement to forward an identical tel
egram to their respective govern
ments, suggesting further commu-
nication to the United States govern
ment. On receipt of this message her
majesty's government Immediately re-
piled objecting to the terms of the
proposition as injudicious. Two days

decided to take no action. We, at the

IoWA's INSURANCE TAX. :.
Foreign Companies Protest Against
Alleged Discrimination.

Des Moines, Feb. 15.-Auditor of
State Merriam has ordered 10 of the
foreign fire insurance companies to
withdraw protests they have filed with
him or suffer the penalty of being re-
fused certificates to transact business
in Iowa the current year.
The difficulty arises over the 31s
per cent tax on gross premium re-
ceipts. They have paid this tax to the
treasurer and taken receipts there
for and have filed the treasurer's re.
ceipts with the auditor accompanied
by remonstrances saying that the tax
was paid under duress and maintain
ing the right to sue for recovery.
The auditor has informed them he
cannot accept receipts for money paid
under duress and claims that by vir-
tue of the duress the receipts are vi
tiated. Unless the protests are with
drawn accordingly the auditor has in
formed them no certificates will issue.
The companies object especially to the
fact that companies organized in the
United States outside Of Iowa pay
2h per cent of their gross premium
receipts, while they are Disseminated
against by having to pay per cent
more.
