HALER Is SHUT OUT.
HIS Stories from the TransvaaI
Didn's Suit the British.

Toxic March 19.-The British minis
ter refuses to endorse the application
of Haler, the CORES ondent of the
Daily News, to accompany the jap
anese army. giving as his reason that
Haler's reports from the Transvaal
during the Boer war We're slanderous
of the British army. The Japanese
government requires that all CORES
pondents should have the endorsement
of the resident minister of the countries
they represent. Haler will therefore be
excluded from all connection with the
army movements.
The government has not yet fully dis
closed the proposal concerning the war
taxes to be submitted to the special
diet about to meet next week, but it
now appears as though it will not pro-
pose a change in the tariff on sugar,
but will instead recommend a domes-
tic tax on the basis previously stated
It now seems probable that the only
changes effected in the customs tariff
will be an increased duty on kerosene
and spirits. No discrimination will be
made against Russian kerosene be-
cause that trade is chiefly in the hands
of British merchants. 1t is anticipated
that there will be a serious contention
in the diet over the taxes on sugar and
silk and dealers in the former commod-
ity are strongly agitating for q. Teduc-
ton in the rate which it is thought the
government will propose
Party committees are meeting daily,
discussing these tax proposals and the
belief is expressed that the govern
ment will be forced to modify several
features of their plans and that it will
fail to realize the total amount orig
inally estimated.
If the tobacco monopoly is enacted it
is estimated that it will be 10 years be-
fore is is finally completed although
the government counts upon earning
from it in 1904 amounting to "a million
yen, gradually increasing until 1914.
when it is estimated they will amount
to 100000 yen.

PAY YOUR DOG TAX.
It Will Be Increased on April If You
Don't.

In less than two weeks the penalty
for non-payment of dog tax will go
into effect Until April 1, the tax is 81
on male dogs and IS on female. After
that date the tax will be 81 and 81. Peo-
pie who want to take advantage of the
81 and SIS rate must bring their money
to the office of the city treasurer in the
city hall
Beginning with April 1 the city dog
tax collector will begin his rounds. Ev-
cry dog upon which the license tax is
not paid will either have to put up the
increased fee, or else be taken to the
dog pound. which means destruction
II is therefore a whole lot better for
people to come and pay their tax before
April 1.
There are about 1000 dogs in Topeka
liable for tax. OF this number 661 male
dogs and "a females have been paid for
under the 81 and IS rate. There are
therefore about 800 dogs in the city
which are still due It is likely that at
least 500 of these will be paid for be-
fore April l.

to return to the United States to dis
pose of his gold and silver mines at
Parral Mexico, he would make terms.
He visited New York and merged his
interests in the Pan-American Mining
and Smelling company of Arizona, of
which Howard Skinner is president.

GRANTS DENIAL.
Says His Remarks Were Not Directed

Chicago, March 1e.@-Presidency and

eral Fred D. Grant, when asked If he
had been correctly understood when it
was reported of him that he declined to
toast the president Of the United States
Eat the st. Patrick's day banquet of the
Irish Fellowship club. The general made
the following signed statement:
7 am extremely Disguised and an
noyed at the statement made with refer
ence to my remarks at the banquet last
night. I had been invited to attend and
to speak at the Irish Fellowship club in
celebration OF st. Patrick's day and had
accepted the invitation, but requested
that 1 would not be called upon for a
speech. had understood that 1 would
not be asked TO respond to any stated
toast and had therefore gone TO the
banquet without any preparation to talk
on any subject
After arriving there, 1 found that
they had assigned me to respond to the
toast The President of the United
States and when arose attempted TO
give my excuse for not talking on the
subject My excuses were that I was
not permitted by the regulations to dis
cuss the president or other civil officers
and reminded them of the disaster that
had befallen some officers who had come
from the Philippines. Another was that
presidency, meaning thereby that I had
not studied up the usual platitudes
given to the office, and, third. that 1
was no orator
7 am particularly chagrined at the
way the report is put in the paper.
which would draw the inference that 1
referred to the present president, for
whom I have the warmest admira ton
and with whom I have had a most
agreeable personal acquaintance His
kind and thoughtful consideration upon
the occasion of the death and burial of
my mother has given me a personal at
tachment for him which will never grow
less, and anything that would be said
to indicate that I was not his warmest
and most devoted admirer would do a
wrong to my personal feeling for the
present chief magistrate of the United
