Poles Protest Against Proposed Action
of Prussian Lawmakers.

of Prussian Lawmakers.
Berlin, May 2s.-The debate on the
bill providing for Strengthening the
German element in the Polish prov
inces of Prussia began in the lower
house of the Prussian diet during the
day. The imperial chancellor, Count
Won Buelow, said the government was
compelled for the sake Of the security
of the monarchy to erect bulwark
against agitation in favor of granting
Poland constitutional rights. The
Poles will be safeguarded, but any ef-
fort to change the existing relations
of the two nationalities would be rigor-
ously suppressed. The governments
object was to continue the policy inau-
gurated by Prince Bismarck in 1886.
The present bill was only commence
ment. Next winter further measures
wOud be introduced to strengthen the
German element in the Eastern prov
ines, including an increase of salaries
of the officials of the middle and lower
ranks and those of the teachers in the
elementary schools.
The chancellor concluded with ap-
pealing to the house to support the
government in it's protection of Ger
man customs and manners
Herr FritZen, Centrist, protested
against the expenditure of milliard
marks while questions of greater i'm
portance were shelved on the ground
of the bad financial condition of the
state.
Herr Szuman, a Pole, bitterly de-
nounced the government for not keep
ing faith with the Poles and at the con-
clusion of his speech the Polish mem
bers left the house in a body

PEACE OUTLOOK bright
British Officials are Hopeful Of Peace
as Result of South African Nego-
tiations.
Only Minor Points Now Being Dis
cussed and These Expected Soon
to be Settled.
Cabinet Holds Prolonged Session to
Consider Communications Received
From Pretoria.

London, May 2S.-The British cab
met was in session for two hours dur.
ing the day, discussing the communiea
tons received from Pretoria since the
meeting of the ministers on Friday
last. 1t is understood that the inner
committee of the cabinet will tele-
graph the result of the deliberations to
Pretoria during the afternoon.
The Boer delegates at the Trans
vaal capital will then probably return
10 Veereningen and report to the
burghers who are still assembled
there.
According to the views Of officials
here there is nothing to warrant the
pessimistic opinions expressed in some
quarters regarding the ultimate out
come of the discussions at Pretoria and
Vereeningen.
The Associated Press learns that the
government continues to be satisfied
that the negotiations will result in a
peaceful settlement. Some minor points
are still being discussed but these are
expected to be fully disposed of with
in day or two.
Al. Balfour, the government leader,
made no statement in the house of
commons regarding the peace nego-
tiations, but he announced a post
ponement of the discussion of the bud
get, fixed for this week, remarking
that it would be very inconvenient to
debate the budget while there were
other things in the balance"
He subsequently explained that it
would be impossible, in discussing the
budget, to prevent references to the
peace negotiations

Rehearsal Of Coronation Parade.

London, May 2S.-A rehearsal of the
coronation procession along the whole
length of the route from Buckingham
palace to Westminster abbey and re-
turn, took place during the morning.
The attendants and the horses were
practically the same as will take part
in the parade of June 26. The vehicles
were plain coaches and brakes, repre-
sentative of the elaborate state equip
ages which will be used on coronation
day, and grooms and outriders repre-
sented the notable personages who will
ride in attendance on their majesties.

TELEGRAPHIC MARKET LETTER

Minneapolis, May 2S.-The weather
map shows ideal weather everywhere.
st. Paul company gave out an ex-
tremely bearish report on crop condi-
tions throughout their territory which
brought about considerable selling at
the opening causing %c lower open
ing which soon found stop orders. The
market steadied around 741h but as no
outside support appeared the bears
took advantage and pounded it down
another sc, but covered freely after
finding excellent support around 74c.
On the other hand the cash business
continues very good and receipts light,
they being 145 cars at the three points
against $50 last year. Until after the
holiday believe that this dip is over
and scalping market will follow
Corn, which gave so much promise
yesterday, was an utter disappointment
to holders, who in fear of having
bought too high were making sacrifices
to ''stand fro m under" The July
was mostly affected as most of the
trade is centered in it. Stop loss or
ders were uncovered and an already ex-
cessive short line was materially in
creased. We consider this shake-out
will later on help the bull side and do
not hesitate to recommend purchases
on this decline, believing the next up
ward move will be through Is and re-
main there. Cash sales yesterday
were 100000 bushel, the largest for
some time. ...
Oats sympathized literally with
other grains but aside from the gen.
eral favorable weather conditions,
there was nothing special. On dips
we would advise purchases for a fair
scalp at least.
Provisions have held remarkably
firm considering the weakness in
grains AS expected there was a
pretty liberal run at the yards but were
well taken. We look for a gradual
falling off from now, and better prices
throughout the provision list.

ELECTION Of SENATORS.
Burrows Informs Senate that Majority
of Committee is Against Pop
ular Election.
Committee Did Not Direct Him to Re.
port House Resolution Favorably
or Adversely.
Action Of the House on Question of Joint
Conferences is Again
Criticised.

Washington, May 2S.-Shortly after
the senate was called to order Mr..
Burrows, chairman of the committee
on privileges and elections, reported
that the majority of the committee
was opposed to the house resolution
providing for the election of senators
by the people; that majority of the
committee was in favor of the Depew
amendment providing the election of
senators in all states shall be uniform
and congress shall have power to en-
force the amendment, and, finally, the
majority of the committee was opposed
to the resolution as amended.
In answer to inquiries Mr.. Burrows
said that the committee by majority
vote had refused to report the resolu-
tion as amended to the senate, either
favorably or adversely. He said the
committee did not direct him to report
the resolution to the senate either
favorably or adversely.
Mr.. Wellington (Md.) moved to dis
charge the committee from further
consideration of the resolution. This
motion went over at theN suggestion of
Mr.. Hoar
A resolution offered by Mr.. Hoar re-
questing the president to inform the
senate whether there be any law which
would prevent any Filipino not under
arrest from coming to the United
States and stating his views or desires
as to his country to the president or
to either branch of congress was
adopted.
House Action Again Criticised.
The conference report on the army
appropriation bill then was called up.
The question was on Mr.. Hoar's mo-
tiOn that the senate ask for full and
free conference, insisting upon it's
amendments. Mr.. Spooner insisted
that the house would regard the adop-
tion of the motion as an affront to it's
dignity. After some discussion Mr..
Hoar withdrew his motion.
Mr.. Proctor, in charge of the confer
ence report, offered a concurrent reso-
| luton for the appointment Of a COM
mittee of three senators to meet with
like committee of the house to confer
on the subject of conferences between
the two houses and especially on the
| matter Of instructions to conferees.
Mr.. Gallilger On. H. indicated that
the house had been offensive in the
senate, but he was called to order by
Mr.. Pettus (Ala.), who held that what
had occurred in the other house was
not proper subject of comment.
Mr.. Gallinger maintained that when
the senate was charged with encourag-
| ing conditions leaning to extrava-
gance it was proper subject of dis
cussion.
Mr.. Pettus offered an amendment to
Mr.. Proctor's motion providing that
the matter to be considered by the
| joint committee should be particularly
the message of the house on the army
appropriation bill. This amendment
was accepted by Mr.. Proctor, and, as
amended, the resolution was adopted
Consideration then was resumed of
the Philippines government bill, Mr..
Patterson continuing his speech in op-
position to the administration policy
as to the Philippines.

argued by the defendant, from the lam
guage of section 1889, which says that
"all personal property wherever and
whenever found between April L and
June shall be listed by the assessor"
that property coming into the state
between these two dates may be taxed
for that year. The language of Sec
tion 1911 is also relied upon to sustain
the contention of the defendants. The
supreme court holds that these added
provisions do not create new and
different period for determining the
taxability of property. On this point
the court says:
"The fact that the process of listing
and assessment may extend from April
1st to June 1st has no significance. 1t
was evident to the legislature that it
was impracticable to obtain all of the
lists of property and complete the as
sessment in single day. For this
reason the legislature granted period
of two months in which these duties
may be performed, and whether per-
formed on the first of April or the last
day of May, they are of equal effect and
validity, for the reason that the details
of listing and assessment, while accom-
plished at later date, relate back to
the day. when the duty OF, listing and
assessing arose, that is, to April 1st.
There is no provision in the statute
which requires the making of addi-
tional or supplemental lists to cover
property acquired after April 1st. On
the contrary, the statute contemplates
the making of but one list. It is there
fore evident that if all persons, who
under the law are required to list prop
erty within a certain taxing district,
should on the first day of April make
out and deliver to the assessor true
and correct list of all personal prop
erty then taxable, the law would be
fully complied with. There is no pro-
vision from which it can be inferred
that after such lists have been made
and delivered to the assessor. that
there still remained the further and
continuing duty to make out further
and additional lists from time to time
| during period of two months to cover
the various articles of personal prop
erty of which persons might, in the
course of business or otherwise, become
owners. It must be conceded that the
| legislature has placed no such onerous
duty on persons charged with the duty
of listing property for the purposes of
taxation. This being true, it follows
necessarily that when the duty of list
ing personal property devolves upon
the assessor, through a default on the
part of those primarily charged with
that duty, he is merely required to pre-
pare or procure a list embracing the
same property as would have been in
cluded had the list been made by the
person charged with this duty on April
| 1st, and he is neither required nor .au-
thorized to include or add other or ad-
ditional property to that which was
taxable ON the first day of April''

MAN ON HORSEBACK.
MYSTERIOUS STRANGER WHO
VISITED w. V. WADE AND TOLD
HIM OF THE INDIAN LEASE
NATTER

MATTER.
Washington, May 2G.-Based on the
testimony offered today the subcom
mittee appointed to investigate the al
sioner Jones with companies that Sc
cured leases Of grazing lands in the
Sioux country OF the Dakotas can
reach but one conclusion.
Two hours were devoted to four wit
nesses. The testimony of two of them,
who appeared to substantiate the
charges made against the commission
er, was admittedly based on hearsay.
w. V. Wade of Wade, N. D., whose let
ter charging Commissioner Jones with
connection with the Walker and Lem
mon companies, admitted on cross-ex-
animation that he was in possession Of
no facts in the case. The testimony
of Mr. Wade gave an absurd phase to
the inquiry Julius Truesdell. a news
paper correspondent, admitted that all
he knew of the cases was contained in
a report on the leasing proposition
made at the time of the hearing on the
question before the senate committee.
Aside from this. Mr. Truesdell admit
ted that he could contribute nothing
tending to substantiate the serious
charges preferred against Commits
sioner Jones.
w. I. Walker of Omaha, who secured
one of the leases. denied in the most
emphatic terms. as did Capt. Lennon
of Spearfsh S. D., that Commissioner
Jones was in any way interested in the
companies with which they were con-
nected.
MI. Truesdell in some mysterious
| manner connected the Chicago, Mil
waukee & St. Paul with the grazing
leases and intimated that the commits
sioner was acting in the interest of the
railroad company. When pressed for
facts on this phase of the question,
Mr.. Truesdell stated frankly that he
had none. He simply urged that the
circumstances were suspicious and that
it was the duty of the subcommittee to
go to the bottom of the whole matter.
Mr. Wade was the humorist of the
sitting. 1t was he who wrote the let
ter to the senate committee in which
it was stated that Commissioner Jones
had a financial interest in the leasing
companies.
''On what do you base your charges,'
said Senator Quarles, that Commis-
sioner Jones is financially interested
in these companies
Mr. Wade then explained his posi-
ton. ''One night, about year ago.
said he. "A man on horseback visited
my ranch. He informed me that the
commissioner was identified with the
companies. l have not seen or heard
of him since"
Senator Quarles asked: Gould you
find him." Il believe l could' was
the reply. How" He left broad
trail was the rejoinder. This re-
joinder produced laughter in'the COM
mittee room and after that Senator
| Quarles referred to the man on horse
back as the mysterious stranger.
Commissioner Jones appeared in his
. own behalf. He stated in his most
emphatic terms that he had no interest
whatever. direct or contingent, in the
leasing companies. George Kennan,
the author, and r. A. Lake of Chicago
will appear before the subcommittee
on the Doth instant. The subcommit-
tee is composed of Senator Jones of
Arkansas (dem.), chairman; Quarles
| of Wisconsin and McCumber of North
