The strike at the Lowell mill, Mas
sachusetts, is at an end. This strike
cost the workingmen nearly a million
and half dollars in wages, which
million and half dollars the mill
companies have saved. The strike
began on March 80, and has thus
lasted nearly three months. The
whole thing is to be deplored, but it
is said that the mill companies were
glad of the strike because of the
high price of material.

DECISION IN
MAY TAX CASE

Henry May & Co, Ltd, who appealed
from the decision of the tax appeal
court. First Taxation Division, can pay
the amount based upon their return of
property to the assessor, based on the
valuation Of their property OF s1OO, 900.
The opinion. written by Justice Gal
braith. gives a detailed account of the
corporation. The opinion says:
at appears that the assessor. in the
use OF the information within his reach,
ignored the return made by the tax
payer; that he ascertained from the
Territorial Treasurer that this corpor-
atom had not made the annual return
or exhibit required by the corporation
statute. From this informal
ton. the assessment was placed at
$4,000. the par value of its entire cap
itai stock"
The syllabus is as follows:

its property for taxation purposes, and
the assessor increases the amount
thereof, or changes the character there

AS TO TELEPHONE
LEGISLATION

Editor Advertiser: In last evenings
Bulletin a correspondent presents the
claims of the Standard Telephone Com
pany, Ltd, to the public. understand
this company is before the Legislature
asking for franchise, and are willing
to accept same with any reasonable
restrictions. and regulations the gov
eminent may impose, but the matter
is being held up in the interest of the
old company. Why in the name of
reason should the Legislature hesitate
to grant a franchise that cannot posi-
bly, do other than benefit the public?
Why should any more consideration be
shown the Mutual Telephone Company
than was given Pains mule car system
when the Rapid Transit Company ask
ed for franchise? for of the two the
tram system was the lesser incubus on
the business interests of this Island.
What consideration was given the men
who had their money invested In the
tram system? Did they not have to
do their reckoning with the new COM
pany in order to save anything from
their investment? Is the Legislative
body of this Territory to be party to
handicapping the business interests of
the whole public, that a few men may
be saved from loss in an investment
which they have not the enterprise to
protect by keeping up with the march of
progress? The Mutual Telephone Com
pany has been making promises for
years of improvement and extension of |
their system, and there are no practical
results to show for it all. They not |
only do not give as good a service as
they might, even with their obsolete !
system, but they refuse to install |
phones. when it suits their pleasure, |
which should make them amenable to |
some power.
By all means grant the franchise, and !
let the conflicting private interests
fight out their own battles, the same
as all other enterprises have to do;
only in this way can we hope to keep
up with the march of progress. No

AN OPEN PORT IN COREA.

Washington. Nov. BIT is learned here that
the United States government is seeking to have

Britain and Japan have combined in favor OF
opening the port Of Yongampho This govern
ment has made considerable progress in the
matter, and Il is now said that United States
Minister Allen. Who has been 1T Yokohama, is
about to proceed from that port 10 Chemulpo,
Corea, on an American warship, in pursuit OF
this mission. The purpose IS 10 honor the Co
reans by the presence Of an American vessel Of
modern type, and II Is said that there is abso-
lutely no intention 20 use pressure Of any kind.
The original request Of Corea was made by the
United States Charge d'Affaires, and now Mr..
Allen is going 10 reinforce IT,
Win is directly opposite the port Of AntUng,
which is to be opened 70 trade by China under
the new treaty, and is an important point on
the great read running from Peking to The Co

inspected the place recently, and decided in its
favor as against Yongampho and il is also

CHAMBERLAIN ON CORRUPTION.
Saws Irish Parties, Not the Tariff, Foster 1t
in United States.

London, Nov 13-In a letter to Miss Miner,
sister of Lord Alfred Miner. Lord High Com
missioner to South Africa, Joseph Chamberlain
contends that the argument that political cor
ruption results from protective policy is alb
surd. Mr.. Chamberlain says:
Germany is free from corruption, while in the
United States where there is a good deal of
corruption, it is caused by the presence of the
Irish political organizations So far as the gov
eminent of the United States is concerned, moth
ing of the kind has ever been suggested to me,
and the general purity of the administration has
beeen increased of late years under the protec-
tive system The creation of trusts is also en-
tirely independent of protection. We have al
ready seen such institutions as. for instance,
the Coats combination and the alkali trust.
The system is likely TO increase with the grow
ing tendency 10 cheaper production by combina-
lions with larger outputs.
