HYDE and ALEXANDER
SETTLE DIFFERENCES

New York, June 5.-Overshadow
in interest all the other sensational de-
velopment in the affairs of the Equita-
BILE Life assurance Society attendant
on the rejection by the directors and
the publication Of the report Of the
Frick committee, comes the announce
ment that the controversy between
President James w. Alexander and
Vice President James 81. Hyde is ct
an end, and that these two gentlemen
have concluded defensive and often
sive alliance. The basis OF this agree
ment is reported to be that they should
in the future devote themselves to the
interests Of life insurance and keep all
Wall street entanglements out OF the
affairs of the Equitable.
Deep interest attaches to the results
of the unexpected turn in affairs, the

Washington, June 6.-After a con.
ference with President Roosevelt SEQ.

sian cruisers Aurora, Oleg and Jemt-
chug, which arrived at Manila last
week, will be interned at Manila. SEQ.
Rotary Morton said that orders for in.

Secretary Taft later cabled the fol-
lowing instructions to Gov. Wright at
Manila regarding the ships:
Time cannot be given for the re-
pair OF the injuries received in battle.
Therefore the vessels cannot be re-
paired unless interned until the end of
hostilities.''
1t was stated by Secretary Taft that
II the Russian vessels agreed to leave
Manila in their present condition they
were welcome to do SO, but as it did
not appear that they had suffered from
any damage caused by the sea or storm,
this government would be obliged to
take the position above outlined.

here, in accordance with the best naval
opinion, and is in pursuance of the
policy of strict neutrality followed by
the Washington government from the

Pullman, WASH, June 1.-Two val

A. B. Baker, proprietor Of large i'm

the department with canopy covered,
two-seated carriage, valued at $225.
The rig will be very useful to the de-

Realizing that fine carriage would
be useless without team to draw it,
NJ. G. Gray, proprietor Of importing

METHODS
TAX COMPROMISES CONDEMNED
BY ATTORNEY GENERAL.
Boards OF County Commissioners
Have No Right to Compromise
Taxes-praCtlce Has been Gen.
eral Throughout the State, and
Opinion Is Therefore important.

Olympia. June 7.-Methods of com
Promlang taxes, known to be in vogue
IN practically every county in the
state are declared by the attorney gem
eral to be illegal. The request for the
opinion came from Thurston county,
where the commissioners desire, BY
stipulation with the original owners Of
property against which certificates of
delinquency have been foreolosed, to
set aside the judgments and decree of
foreclosure. The attorney general de-
clares that the property is conveyed
completely to the county and that
there is no authority of law for trans
fer OF title by stipulation. The attor-
ney general goes still further in con-
STRUNG section 41O5 Of Pierce's code,
which authorizes county commission
ers to compromise or release debts. He
says:
Tho question Immediately arises:
ls tax debt? A careful examin-
alton leads me to the conclusion that
it is not, and l am dragged to this con-
clusion much az q cat would be
dragged across q carpet-protesting
every inch. This Office is fully aware
that it is the practice of county COM
missioners to compound taxes, and it
Is against the policy Of the Office to
discredit public officials in the exercise
OF their public functions or to hold
their acts illegal and void unless the
law is plain and exploit. The board
OF county commissioners is an inferior
tribunal Of special and limited juris-
diction. In all cases of settlement or
compromise it must afirmatively ap-
pear that the action of the board is in
conformity to some provision of the
statute giving it authority to make
such settlement or compromise. I do
not believe this when it comes 10 con-
STRUNG it or passing upon act Of the
board. 1t is therefore the opinion Of
this Office that the board Of county
commissioners has no right or author
ity to settle or compromise any tax
levied for county or state purposes"

There are about seventy subordinate
oranges entitled to representation and
the membership in the state is over
5000, while four years ago it was
about 700. In that time Washington
has made greater percentage Of gain
than any other state in the Union.
A large amount of legislation will
be considered at this session. The prin-
cipal work along this line will be for
direct legislation, taxation, q system
by which the state prints its own
school books, and some advocate that
the grange demand that the state own
the books. Good roads will also come
in for consideration. No doubt q dis

About three-fifths Of the members Of
the state live in these three counties.
In many counties Of the state there are
NO oranges. Where organization has
been attempted it was thought best to

DELCASSE RETIRES FROM
FRENCH FOREIGN OFFICE

Paris, June TN. D0lcas6e has
presented his resignation and definitely
retired from any further direction of
the foreign Office affairs of France.
His resignation was submitted at
meeting Of the council Of ministers
held at the Elysee Palace under the
presidency of President Loubet.
n. Delcasse, in submitting his resig-
nation, explained the reasons leading
up to his action. He said he recog-
nized that differences of view had
arisen between himself and his col
leagues relative to the execution Of the
foreign policy Of France, particularly
concerning the direction Of the negoti-
atoms with Morocco. Therefore he
had believed it to be desirable, in the
interest Of the ministry and Of the
country, to place his resignation in
the hands of the president. Premier
Rouvier, in responding, expressed re-
grets of himself and Of his colleagues,
adding q tribute to M. Delcasse for
past services.
Nay Be Permanent.
M. Rouvier thereupon announced
that he would assume ad interim the
duties Of the minister of foreign affairs.
Laterit was announced that M. Rouvier
would hold the portfolio of foreign
affairs indefinitely, probably yielding
the ministry Of finance, which he di-
rects in addition to being premier, in
order to devote his attention to the So
luton of the troubles in the foreign
situation.
The final meeting between M. Del
casse and his colleagues developed I'M
usual interest, as he found their senti-
ment was united against the policy he
had pursued. After explaining his
views on the Moroccan and other ques-
tions the ministers presented their
views, showing complete discord be-
tween him and them. M. Delcasse
himself said the divergences formerly
existing had reached stage where he
found all his colleagues opposed to him.
Therefore, he added, it only remained
for him to surrender his portfolio.
The retirement of M. Delcasse from
the council chamber brought out nu-
merous evidences Of personal esteem,
which, however, did not remove the
somewhat painful feeling caused by his
resignation following divergence Of
views.
II M. RouYier decides to eventually
select q successor it will probably be
one Of the ambassadors, Jules Cambon
and NJ. Barriere, now at Rome, being
the most prominent under considera-
ton.
Possibilities OF War.
The resignation Of NJ. Delcassse has
caused much uneasiness in parliamen-
tary quarters, where pessimistic view
prevails concerning the relations be-

Ropy MIX After eettiux.

Bacteria In one form Is probably re
sponsible for the ropy milk that we
hear about coming after setting for
the cream. In such cases the first
thing to do is to thoroughly disinfect
the stables by the use of carbolic acid
and then thorough whttewashing Of
walls and ceiling. Then turn atten-
ton to the utensils used-the milk
pals and the other vessels. The
chances are they at the bottom of the
trouble and need scalding repeatedly
with hot water. and then more
cleansing, such as only the sun will

vessel used in the dairy. Hot water
and sun are death to bacteria.

Breeding Polled Calves.

Breedinx Pollsd Calves.
Answering the query, Are double
standard Polled Durham bulls as sure
to get polled calves from horned cows
as are Angus bulls?'' F. 8. Hines says
in Breeders Gazette:
Without knowledge as to the per-
centage of polled calves got by Angus
bulls used on horned cows it would
naturally seem that the Angus bulls
would be the surer dehorners, as they
have been bred hornless for many gen.
erations, while Polled Durhams are
not many removes from horns. How
ever, there are many Polled Durham
bulls that have made excellent records
as dehorners, some having az high as
80 per cent of polled calves from horn
ed cows.
If your correspondent wishes to
breed polled calves his best course
would be to buy an aged Polled Dur
ham bull with a good record as a de-
horner. There is a great deal of the
lottery about this breeding of the
horns," just as there is in breeding in
general, and some bulls with many
polled crosses are not as sure dehorn-
ers as those with only one cross OF
polled blood. Therefore I should ad-
wise your correspondent not to try 4
young bull, but to get one that 10
known by his works.
