WASHINGTON GOSSIP

Washington, April 15.-It has been
figured by experts that 80 per cent of the

Reciprocity only 10 per cent with
H non competing ma.
Dropped by lions. On the floor Of
the house Of repre-
Republicans. sentatives recently,
Messrs Payne and
Dalzell, the floor leaders for the republi-,
cans, announced that the republican party
would never consent to reciprocity, except
with non-competing nations. This means
that the republican party, so long as it is
led as at present in congress, will not be
a reciprocity party. This may as well
be faced at this time as later, for it Is the
real situation. The same sentiment In
republican ranks which opposes revision
| Of the Dingley schedules. opposes also all
forms of reciprocity. Reciprocity and re-
vision would accomplish like results, and
| no high protectionist wants either. At
| the same time, however, the sentiment
which will precipitate a revision Of the
tariff may at the same time be strong
| enough to command serious considera-
! ton for genuine reciprocity, Of the sort
that is now being advocated by John
| Sharp Williams, the minority leader Of
| the house.
| Reciprocity advocates in congress have
made up their minds to wait patiently for
| tariff revision. This will give them the
/ opportunity which is now denied. The
| death blow to the serious consideration of
an aggressive movement at this time
came when the republican party in Min
nesota failed to declare for real reci-
! procity. If a definite platform declara-
| ton could not be secured in that state, 1t
probably cannot be secured anywhere in
the country. This is the prevailing opin-
ion in Washington.

An AmiabIe Dog.

Some one has said that there is
either great deal of human nature
in dogs or a lot of dog nature in man,
but be that as it may, 1 rather incline
to the belief that if any complaint is
due, it should come from the canine
family" said an admirer of dogs
"Out where | worked We had a stray
dog that was as full of good impulses
and virtues at the t1mr of his death
as he was of fieas when he came to
live with us at the StuyVeSant docks
about two years ago. we called him
Tramp, as that name better described
him when he came to the docks. We
have never been able to trace Tramp's
antecedentS. He may nave been of
respectable genealogy, but he was
down on his luck when we first saw
him. believe he was a cross be-
tween a black and tan and a German
dachshund, which would guarantee
him at least more than average con-
sideration among dogs No one knows
where Tramp came Irom-
One day, about two years ago, he
trotted into our office, wagging his tail
in a most friendly manner. He looked
from one face to another, and there
on his own face. He seemed so well
pleased to see all the boys that no
one rebuked him for walking into the
office. His affability had won the boys
before anyone could order him to
leave, and as it was about lunch time,
some of the Workmen who bring their
lunch with them fed him the scraps.
After that he became one of the ele-
Vator force. He was stout and lusty
and no other dog dared come around
the docks. Tramp was of a democrat
ic nature. He played no favorites. He
made the rounds of all the depart
ments daily and was as friendly with
the ordinary laborers as he was with
the office men. He divided his time
as well as he could with all of US.
He would go home one day with me,
the next day with some other man in
the Office, and so on until he had paid
all of his calls. Then ne would start
over again. He never failed to be on
hand when the whistle blew. He in
found a coat or a hat on the floor
of the office he would call attention
to it in some way. Once a stray dog
got into one Of the Iunch baskets.
Tramp appeared on the scene just in
time. He bounced on that dog and
licked him good and then ran him
away from the premises. He never
nolested the dinner baskets himself.
The last day of his life he had gone
fee. He was lying in the yard when
the 1 o'clock whistle blew. With a
supreme effort he got up and trotted
away. 1t was noticed that he had not
eaten his dinner, and we remarked
that Tramp must be SICK. He reached
the office, but just as he did his race
was run. He paused at the door, then
laid down. In few minutes he was
dead. We felt his death keenly and
boys gave Tramp a respectable burial,
placing a wooden headboard at his
Orleans Times-Demo-
crat.

years. This would have amounted to
$12O,0S0 interest in that time. But they
ard. after he had refunded them at
AZ per cent. This will give the state
$S7, $50 interest in the sixteen years, or
loss of $32,520. The new bonds are
states money will be tied UP for four
teen years longer than the sixteen
years at AZ per cent. In sixteen years
from now money may be worth only
Az per cent and it may be worth more.
1t is not likely to be worth less.
If the bonds were a good investment
for the state and worth par, and II
that is what the original per cent
bonds were purchased for, the rake-of
in the deal would be the $4,000 com
mission" and the state will be out only
the $32. $50 interest.
But it is very evident that the bonds
are not worth par or anywhere near
it. H B. Kelly says that he had an OPP
ton on the old per cent bonds at 96A,
but a cash offer, of course, Will buy
thing cheaper than the option which
Kelly says that the best offer he could
get on the six per cent bonds anywhere
in the United States was only 80 cents
on the dollar.
If a per cent bond is worth only
80 cents on the dollar, it is evident
that a Il per cent bond, with the
same security behind it. is worth
much less. The old issue of bonds
issue was no more valid than the old.
The market value of the new bonds
can, therefore. be gotten out by solv-
ing the following problem:
IF bond bearing per cent. in
terest, or $50 per annum, is worth
5000, or 80 cents on the dollar, how
much is the same bond worth
bearing Y per cent. interest, or $45
per annum 2"
The solving of this problem shows
that the II per cent. bonds are worth
81 u cents on the open market.
The last published report of the
state auditor shows that Comanche
county, besides this issue of bonds,
owes $50, 900 of refunding bonds due
in 1912, and $4,000 of jail bonds due
in 1919. a total of $156,000.
1t also owes. according to the same
report, township, city and school dis
trict bonds amounting to $96,132. This
is a total municipal bonded indebted
ness of Comanche county of $780,
1872, or considerably more than one
third of the assessed valuation of the
county as returned by the township
assessors, which was $632,553.
The remainder of each petition, fol-
lowing the copy of the State Journals
article, is:
by means whereof said plaintiff
had been damaged and injured in his

of $4,000.
Wherefore. plaintiff demands judg-

FIGHTING AT PORT ARTHUR.
Attack on the Fortress Is Again in
Progress.

Chefoo. Aug. 90. Z p. m.-Severe
lighting was resumed at Port Arthur
on August 81, according to Chinese
who left there on the evening of the
z7th. Between August % and IS
there was some fighting, but it was
less severe than that on the 9th. One
of the Chinese was arrested and COM
PEELED to carry the dead from the
Japanese attempted to capture on
August rs. Thirty carts were used
to carry the dead, numbering 400,
from the trenches and outskirts to the
city. A policeman told the Chinese
that the efficient soldiers in the gar
rison at Port Arthur numbered over
10000. A Chinese who lived near
Rihlungshan declares that he saw the
Russians occupying this fort, from
which previous reports stated that
they had been driven. Probably both
reports were correct at the time they
were current, as semtomcial adv1ces
state that many positions about the
fortress change hands repeatedly.
The fighting which began on the
27th soon became general. While the
Chinese was at sea August %, heavy
firing was resumed. Two junks con-
tanning contraband of war were sunk
by a Japanese torpedo boat 10 miles
off Lao Tia promontory. 1t is said
that fort No. 5 has changed hands
four times and Is now unoccupied.
The Japanese filled the moat in front
of this fort with sand bags. The
nese coolies to dig trenches, build
.earthworks and drag cannon about.
The report that heavy fighting was re-
suned on August 81 agrees with a
previous rumor from a credible source
that the Japanese had planned to re-
sumo the general attack on that date.
The information received here dur
ing the past week would seem to con-
firm the belief that the great Japa-
nese assault on Port Arthur which was
begun August 20 was by no means as
successful as anticipated. Although
the Japanese succeeded in pushing
their lines forward, they were unable
in any instance to occupy the impor-
tant positions from which they drove
the Russians They succeeded only in
weakening the Russian lines without
making important advances in their
own.
The report that the japanese forces
before Port Arthur have received
heavy reinforcements via Dalny has
been confirmed This bears out the
statement from Chinese sources that
heavy fighting commenced August 81.
The arrangement of the fortif1ca-
lions at Port Arthur is described by
q Russian as very similar to a chess
board upon which every fort with
respect to the zone covered by its ar
tfllery has the moving powers of the
queen I'm the game of chess. Up to
the present time the Japanese have
p;ade no attempt to occupy any one
important fort without being subjected
70 a resfstless fire from various direc-
tons of the other forts.
