PennsyIvania-western Union War.

Philadelphia, May 2S.-The work of
removing the Western Union poles and
wires from Pennsylvania Railroad prop
erty has been virtually completed. No
opposition to the wholesale destruction
of property was raised. Here and
there are a few short sections undis-
trubed, but they are valueless and the
wires are cut. As soon as the Western
Union debris can be cleared up the
Pennsylvania Railroad, under its contract
with the Postal Telegraph Company,
will raise new pole lines. The Postal
supplies and strings the wires and in
sulators. The Pennsylvania owns the
poles.
New York, May 29.-The Western
Union Telegraph Company, although
handicapped by the wholesale destruc-
ton of its lines along the Pennsylvania
Railroad, is handling nearly all business
submitted and in But few instances is it
compelled to accept messages Sub
ject to delay" The only hope of the
telegraph company is that the Supreme
Court of the United States will reverse
the United States Circuit Court of APP
peals and give a decision against the
railroad. They hope to have the APP
peal heard at the next term, which be-
gins in October. If the Western Union
gets the decision, it will sue the Penn
sylvania for not only the value of its
poles and wires but also for lost bust
ness

SCHOOL TAXATION.

The new State corporation commission
has issued its first order. The order
effects corporations doing business in the
State as related to taxation for school
purposes, and is directed to the county
superintendents of schools. After call
ing the attention of the superintendent to
the general tax law, passed by the gen.
eral assembly April Is, 1908, the COM
mission says:
You will observe that the specific
duty of providing the respective com
panies with the boundaries of school dis
tricts in the counties is imposed upon you
in such manner as to make a COM
pliance with that duty essential TO the
execution of the law. The transpor-
tation and transmission companies may
not make proper division of their prop
critics among the various school districts
unless you furnish them with the in
formation required. And unless that
information is furnished before July l
the board of supervisors of your county
may have difficulty in levying and in
enforcing the payment of county, city,
town, and school district leyies.
Sections 81, 29, and "a OF the tax law
refers to the assessment by the commits
sion of all corporations for taxes, as
follows: Railway and canal corporations,
express companies and telephones and
telegraph companies. These corporations
are required to show their gross receipts
to the 30th day of June of each year, the
reports to be made to the commission on
or before September l. The corpor-
atoms are required in this report
to point out what part of their re-
spective properties is located in each
school district Of each county or
corporation. In making the assessments
the commission is required to have the
assessments show definitely the char
acter of the property, its value, and loca-
ton for the purposes of taxation in each
county, city, town, and school district,
so that county, city, town, and school
district Ievies may be made upon same.
In order, however, that this shall be
done, the county superintendent of
schools in each county is required to
furnish the respective corporations on or
before the lst of July of each year with
the boundaries Of each school district in

The Yachts.

Glen Cove, L. l., May 29.-There is
a good northeaster this morning which
presaged fine contest between Reliance,
Columbia and Constitution today. Added
interest was given to today's contest by the
appearance of Constitution to make her
first try against the Reliance, which
detected Columbia on Thursday. The
wind indicated an eleven mile beat to
windward, about northeast, three mile
broad reach, and an eleven mile run
with the wind abaft the beam, for the
course today. There was aslight bubble
to the sea and Columbia's admirers
agreed that Reliance would not make the
runaway race she did two days ago.
The northeast breeze was blowing at
knots an hour at eleven O'Clock. 1t
was then the general belief that it would
increase to ten or twelve knots.
At 1850 the regatta committee hoisted
the flag a." meaning that the race was
postponed until later in the day.
Yachtsmen look for breeze in the
course of the afternoon.
The wind came in streaks from the
southwest latter and the race was started.
Reliance crossed the lines at :50:02, Con-
stitution, 1:5O:O3; Columbia, 1925.

Mr.. ROOSEVELT will not be Endorsed
by the Ohio State convention for the
republican nomination for President
next wear if Senator Hanna can prevent
if. Senators Hanna and Foraker are at
loggerheads over the question. Senator
Foraker insists that the convention shall
indorse the President; Senator Hanna
characterizes the attitude of Senator
Foraker as malicious and an attempt to
smoke him out. Senator Hanna says
in defence of his position that it would
never do for the State which he controls
TO indorse at this time President Roose-
welt. as he (Hanna) is chairman of the
national committee. For Ohio to in
dorse the President, the Senator declares,
would be to give formal notice to the
aspirants from all other States that the
national committee was opposed to any
one else entering the race, and this would
surely engender bad feeling, thus des-
troying harmony in the national Organi-
cation. Mr.. Foraker takes a different
view, and so they 90.

was one of the boldest and best planned

how easy it was with men in authority to
get away with the government money
over which they had control.

SATURDAY EVENING. MAY %, 1908

TOMORROW, will be the forty second
anniversary of the departure from their
home of the Alexandrians who became
part of the Army of Northern Virginia.
The scenes on that historic morning
have been retold often in past years.
Some are still living who participated IN
the exodus, as well as others who wit
messed scenes in connection Herewith.
The ranks of both classes, however, are
gradually becoming thinner, and ere
long, like Napoleon's Old Guard, the
last in the single-file march will have
passed over the river. This, however,
will in no wise initiate against the In
terest which has for many years been
manifested by people of this city in the
oath of May. 1t is peculiarly Alex
andria's sacred day. Time will
90 on until none who participated
in or. witnessed the exit Will
be living, but their descendants
year by year will gather under the name
of one organization or another and re-
clpituIate the scenes Of that memorable
morn and transmit them from one
generation to another. And right here
it NAV be in order to make suggestion.
We are told that in classic days the
children of Greece were compelled
t. memorize the Iliad and Odyssey o
Homer-their national poems. why
should not children in Alexandria b'
made thoroughly familiar with the mos
interesting and important chapter in the
history of their city, even as the little
Greeks were with the Trojan war; W.
have a splendid public school system,
and let some one-and there are
number in our midst who car-write out
a succinct history of the capture OF
Alexandria on May "a, 1861, the kill
ing of Colonel Ellsworth and Capt
James w. Jackson, together with Other
scenes enacted here during the first year
Of the civil war and have it either incor-
porated in reader already usedor bouna
in separate volume. The matters re-
ferred to would then become familiar tC
the little child who would grow up with
the citv's annals in his or her mind.

ACCORDING To views expressed by
men from 20 Of the leading manufacture
ing States in the Union, who met in ex-
ecutive session at the rooms of the Ma
tional Association of Manufacturers in
New York yesterday, capital all over the
country is preparing for struggle with
labor. This state of affairs is much to
be deplored, but the manufacturers claim
that under existing conditions it is I'M
possible for them to conduct their own
business according to their own Ideas
and that the demands being constantly
made upon them by agitators can nc
longer be considered. Would that a
Daniel could come to judgment and set
tie the difficulties between capital and
labor.

THE PREsBYTERIANs

Touching on the important question
of creed revision at the General AS
sembly Of the Presbyterian Church at
Los Angeles, CAL, yesterday, Stated
Clerk Rev. w II. Roberts announced
that all Of the ii amendments to the
confession of faith had been adopted by
the presDyteries by an almost unanimous
vote. No one overture to creed revision,
DR.. Roberts said, received less than 1875
affirmative votes, nor more than 9nega-
tive votes. This is said to settle the
question of revision for years to come,
but. as one of the commissioners ex-
pressed it: "This does not mean that
the church has changed or revised her
faith. The revision is in the line OF
dropping some phrases capable OF a
double meaning and the more explicit
statement of others" The assembly
then turned its attention to the long list
of reports of special committees submit
ted for approval. Reading OF the re-
ports consumed the remainder OF the
morning session.
Before the formal opening of the as
sembly in the Presbyterian church at
Lexington, Va, yesterday an interest
ing meeting was held in the chapel at

DR.. Theron H. Rice, of Atlanta, Ga,
responded on behalf of the visitors.
After devotional exercises in the church
at the morning session, Rev. DIR. Thorn
ton Whaling pastor Of the Lexington
church, presented to the assembly a
gayel sent from China by Rev. p. Frank
Price, missionary from the church, to
be used on this occasion. The modera-
tor, DR.. Hopkins, accepted the gayel on
behalf of the assembly. The first bust
ness of the day was the announcement OF
the standing committees. Reports were
made at the afternoon session by the
committee on education for the ministry,
the twentieth century fund, theological
seminaries, and all were referred. The
committee on Sabbath observance report
ed that in a number of presbyteries the
day had been observed with encouraging
results, and that although the Sabbath
was still desecrated by the Sunday train

strong sentiment seemed to be growing
in favor of its more universal Observance
in accordance with the Bible teaching.
