made. it will be a short time before the
equality of the states is destroyed.
A number Of other senators showed their
desire to take a part in this debate, but
Senator Gallinger. before Senator Stewart
began speaking, announced that he would
insist upon the regular order, and as the
debate was carried on only by unanimous
consent this brought 1t to a close.
AT the conclusion of the debate which had
been proceeding by unanimous consent, the
Serate passed eighty-one private pension
bills.
other bills were passed as follows: To
reform the western judicial district OF Ar
kansas: amending the act of February :,
1901, to increase the efficiency or the per-
manent military establishment, so as TO
provide for the transfer of officers from
the line to the staff for four years service.
Mr.. Mallory on Shipping Bill.
Mr.. Mallory spoke upon the shipping bill
this afternoon. His remarks were In op-
position TO that measure. He first summed
up the purposes of the bill and then crit
icised the claim that desirable auxiliary
cruisers would be secured by means of the
subsidy He said that no idea of the use
fulness Of such cruisers could be approxi-
mated from the events of the Spanish war,
when a fleet crossed the ocean, and, like
a lot Of partridges, went under cover at
the first opportunity, remaining there un-
til upon leaving the ,harbor they were de-
stroyed.
He said that the expense involved In this
bill was extraordinary in view Of any bene-
fits that could be derived from it. and while
the chairman of the committee on COM
merce had said that the bill in five years
would result in the payment of $4,000, 900.
he thought that was purely a guess. as no
one could tell what would be the extent of
slip building in order to take advantage of
its provisions.
Referred to a Speech Of Hanna's.
Mr.. Mallory pointed out that in the pres
ent day very fast cruisers are being con-
structed by all the great maritime coun-
tries, which, in the event of war would far
outclass in speed and power in a sea strug-
gle the auxiliary cruisers that could be Sc
cured from the operation of the pending
shipping bill. In the case of the United
States alone he said there are under con-
struction ten cruisers of % knots each. and
they could in four or five hours run down
any one of the vessels we are proposing to
give subsidy under this bill.
Besides, he said, there are a number of
torpedo boat destrOyers of extremely high
speed, we'll armored and with long-steam-
ing capacity that would prove more than a
match for any of the proposed auxiliary
cruisers that would be secured by the bill.
Some of these torpedo boat destroyers have
speed of thirty knots an hour.
Mr. Mallory quoted the speech of Senator
Hanna, made year ago, on the shipping
bill. then pending before the Senate, to
tor that bill would not increase the number
of vessels of more than twenty -One or twen-
ty-two knots an hour. AS the pending bill
did not provide for so large expenditures
as did the bill of year ago, Mr.. Mallory
concluded that this same effect would be
experienced in relation to the pending bill
if the judgment Of the senator from Ohio
was correct.

1t is believed the slight decline today in
Lanston Is due to the placing OF large
blocks of the stock on the market that
have been held for several years.
Some holders are selling Lanston and
buying Mergenthaler. The confidence in
the report that the union OF these COM
panies will be brought about In the near
future seems to be unimpaired. There Is

TIEN TSIN SILVER
CHINA NOTIFIED WHEN THE
PAYMENT WAS MADE.
Not Understood Here How Minister
WI Could Have Deceived
Home Government

The Pekin report touching the filing OF
charges against Minister WI has not been
officially brought to the attention Of the
state Department. and 1t is the opinion Of
the officials that 1t will not be. 1t Is
stated that when the silver fund OF $780,
GOO was paid over to Mr.. Wu January o.
the State Department itself gave notice to
the Chinese government through Minister
Conger Of the payment and the amount.
and as Mr.. Wu himself says that he gave
similar notice, 1t Is not perceived here
how an opportunity offered for deceiving
the home government, even If the minister
was so disposed.
At the time the payment was made to
the Chinese minister, it was stated In the
ed with the payment of salaries Of the Chi
nese consuls in the United States and with
defraying the expenses of the Chinese le-
cations in Washington, Lima and Madrid.
It was believed the money would be applied
to those purposes.
Minister Wu said today that he had no IL
Ing to add to what he had said to the re-
porters last night.
Finister Wu's Statement.
Mr.. Wu said last night that he promptly
Informed his government as soon as the
United States turned over to him the Tien
Tsin silver fund, and the money was placed
at its disposal. An acknowledgment was
IeCelSeu ny teleSFapn. MOI one cent OF the
fund. Mr.. WI added, could be misappro-
priated. and if any portion of it were to be
used for any purpose whatever this could
be done only by the sanction of the Chi
nese government
The minister has not heard officially Of
the presentation of the memorial for his
removal and treats the matter very lightly.
There Is, he says, no foundation for the
statement that he retained $4,000 of the
fund for repairs to the legation in Wash
ington. The change is ridiculous on the
face, he says, and he thinks the presenta-
t1on OF the memorial to have been the work
or some person acting under a misappre-
hension or on some misinformation.
The board of censors the minister ex-
planned, is a peculiar Chinese institution
whose personnel are the eyes and ears of
privilege Of memorialiZing the throne when
they have reason to believe public matters
require it.
The members, however, have not access
to the official records, but depend on the
newspapers and on other sources Of in
formation as the basis for their charges.
There has been some talk of building new
Chinese legation quarters in Washington
recently, but Minister WI declined to make
any statement touching his intentions In
that direction
The Charges.
A Pekin dispatch says: A prominent
Manchu censor has memorialized the throne
for the removal Of WI Ting Fang the Chi
nese minister to the United States. The
censor asserts that WI Ting Fang cor
ruptly retained, ostensiby for repairs to
the Chinese legation in Washington, $780,
coo of the Tien Tsin silver refunded by the
American government.

Amendments to Constitution
Proposed by Legislature.
SOME NEW FEATURES
TO TAX INCOMES, LAND TRANS
FERS AND SALARIES.
The Tax on Transfers Of Property Is In
Lieu Of Inheritance
.-I
Tax.

ST. PAUL. Minn., March 11.-The first
special session Of the Minnesota legislature
in twenty-one years and the third special
session in the history of the state adjourn
ed at noon today. having been In session
exactly five weeks The session met Feb
ruary to consider the tax code and consti-
tutfonal amendments prepared by the tax
commission provided for at the regular ses-
sion one year ago. The work OF that COM
mission. however, was rejected the bill
submitted being defeated as too radical in
the changes proposed.
Within twenty-four hours of adjournment
other tax measures were passed and pro-
vision was made for the submission Of
other constitutional amendments to a vote
of the people. These amendments allow the
legislature to impose a general income tax
in lieu Of all taxes on personal property. A
tax not to exceed 10 per cent per annum on
the income from all credits in lieu of any
other tax on credits, is provided for, and
also an income tax Of not more than per
cent on all salaries in excess Of $1,000 a
year.
Three Methods Proposed.
Three methods for the taxation Of public
service corporations are allowed by the
amendments; q gross earnings tax in lieu
Of all other taxation; a gross earnings tax
in addition to the tax on real property an0
a franchise tax in addition to taxes on
real and personal property.
The amendment abolishes the inheritance
tax, but provides in it's stead tax not to
exceed 5 per cent on transfers Of estates
Of decedents.
Some attention was paid to the merger
of the Northern Pacific and Great Northern
roads, and the sum of 900 was appro-
priated to furnish the Attorney General
with some of the sineWs of war needed to
prosecute the fight.
When 1t was learned that under the de-
cision of the supreme court the state
had no standing in the federal courts the
legislature adopted memorial to Congress
utging an amendment to the judiciary act
SO as to give the state the same standing
as citizen in these courts.
