Mr.. Conger's retirement from the

in the news reports of last week. 1t
was Indicated that he might be sent to
Peking as special commissioner of
the president, to adjust, if possible, the
differences which have arisen between
this country and China over the boy.

commercial guilds. While no official
statement is obtainable here regarding
the mission, there are reasons for the
statement that it either has been abar-
aoned by the president or that it has
been declined by Mr.. Conger. At any
rate, it is believed Mr.. Conger will not

government.
1t has not been determined definitely
yet who succeeds Mr.. Conger as am.
bassador to Mexico, but, as heretofore
stated, it probably will be David E.
Thompson, of Nebraska, now American
ambassador to Brazil. 1t is known
that Ambassador Thompson desires the

secretary Of state may be expected at
any time. It is certain that he is to
retire from the state department, but
whether he will receive al appoint.
ment in the diplomatic service, as has
been suggested, is thought to be some
what problematical.

SfOrthtng Plans for Conference With

Christianis, Aug. 80 The storthing

proposals of the government for the
formal opening of negotiations with
Sweden for the dissolution of the

The passage of the resolution relat-
ing to the opening of negotiations with
Sweden for the dissolution of the union
was not secured without obstinate re-.
sistance on the part of the radical and
socialist factions, whose program was
to prevent negotiations with Sweden.
The crushing majority of the govern
ment, however, shows that the storth.
ing and the people are snxionus to &C.
cure an amicable settlement. The gov.
eminent is firmly opposed to any
change in its proposals. evidently wish
ing to meet the riksdag half way.
The committee on negotiations prob
ably will be appointed at once, and
will consist of Minister Loveland, G.

circles that Sweden is now inclined to

MUST PAY THEIR TAXES.
Foreign Corporation No Better Than
Home Institution.

Home INSTITUTION.
Olympia, Aug. 23.-Foreigr oorpo-
rations in this state are entitled to fair
treatment but no favors, and they must
pay taxes on tax certificates, says the
state tax commission in letter sent to
s. q. Noble, assessor Of Lincoln coun-
ty. The letter refers to the delinquent
tax certificates of F. A. Holman, agent
of the Vermont Loan and Trust Com
pany, who claims exemption from tax
alton on the grounds that they are q
corporation organized under the laws
of Vermont, and that it is an illegal
assessment.
The tax commission says: "a for
eign corporation doing business in this
state as provided by law becomes, for
the purposes Of assessment and taxa
ton, a domestic corporation.
"The legislature in providing the
rules under which a foreign corpora
tion can do business in this state, very
clearly intends this GLASS of corpora.
tions to have fair treatment but no IA
vors.
"This class of personal property
should be assessed in the county where
the foreign corporation has its princi-
pal Office or place Of business, and if
the Office Of the company is not in Lin
coin county you should ascertain in
which county it is situated and send to
the assessor for that county list Of the
certificates owned by the company, so
that they may be put on the rolls in
the county entitled to assess them"
