United States Ambassador to Russia
Wants to Come Home.

St. Petersburg June S.-Ambassador
Mccormick is receiving such severe
snubs from some of the aristocratic
Russians here that it is believed he
viii be compelled to abandon his post
and return tC the United States. The
Sights in many instances have been of
such a serious nature as TO be regarded
as almost an effrOntery to the United
States government. Already the am
bassadOr has notified Washington of
the state of affairs, it is said, and has
asked that he be permitted to return
proper reparatiOn is made for the i'll
treatment that has been accorded him.
Both the ambassador and his wife are
daily undergoing persecution at the
hands of St Petersburg society on ac-
count of American sympathy with Jap
an. It is stated that the ambassador
has received notice to give up the mag
nificent house he has been occupying
as an embassy and private residence
since his arrival in Russia. His land
lord, a Russian prince, is quoted as
having declared that his ancestors
would turn in their graves if they knew
that the family home is tenanted by
s-enemieS OF their country"
1t is an open secret that The Nc
Cormicks have suffered a series of
embarrassing experiences since the
war began. Several dinners and other
functions have been Cancelled osten-
sibly for special reasons, but in re-
aHty on account of the fact that arts
tocratic circles feel compelled to ex-
hibit a certain degree of coIdness to
States Mrs. McCormick's friends say
she feels the situation so keenly that
she wishes they were in a position to
leave the country at once.

Major II. A. Naylor, the new mar
shall of Victor, with a squad of sol
diers, is searching for a man named
F'ridley, who is charged with having
killed ROXie MCGEE in the riOting at
Victor on Monday. Information is
said to have been given against him

Major McCIelland and other military

Wipina Out Taxation.

Here is very important fact which
has just arrived from England. 1t is
that English cities are wiping out tax
alton by applying the principle Of pub
lie ownership to public conveniences
The British government has collect
ed figures from about 100 towns and
cities showing where the public rev
enue came from. 1t has discovered
that 81 per cent of the revenue comes
from the various enterprises owned
by the cities, such as gas companies
electric light companies, street cars
water companies, etc.
In 1902 these publicly owned under
takings brought In $75 1853. $50. or near
ly one-third of the total revenue. The
taxes. of course. are reduced by this
system of public ownership. The pub
lie get better service for less money
and there are fewer private corpora
lions to corrupt public officials. There
are no arrogant Gas trusts in English
cities.-Chicago American.
