NEW ORLEANS.

The New Orleans merchants and
dealers in every commodity whole,
sale and retail, are rejoicing in the
revival Of trade with the wane of the
yellow fever and the raising of the
quarantine. The lifting Ct the bars

The night Tl's is an encouraging
feature so different from the stagla-
ton with which the city was so long

he situation is the discovery that
country merchants in the territory trib-
.utary to New Orleans have remained
loyal to the city and withstood the
efforts Of compatit on-made centers TO
divert the trade which logically be
longs there, The rush of business is
so great that the general impression
prevails that, notwithstanding the
fever. at the end of the year it will
prove that the volume Of the trade Of
New Orleans will be largely over the
normal

PRACTlCc A BAD ONE,
Promises to Prisoners to Induce pleas
OF Guilty Frowned Upon.

Olympia, Dec. 21.-Because it finds
that the King county court and sher-
ifs Office denied his constitutional
rights to the defendant the supreme
court has granted new trial ito Ed
ward Allen, sentenced at Seattle to ten
years Imprisonment on pleading guilty
to robbery.
Allen, after his arrest, pleaded gull
ty and was sentenced. Then he Sc
cured counsel and applied for leave to
withdraw the plea. This the court de-
MED and entered sentence.
Allen charged, and the supreme
court holds with him, that when he
Mas rfist arrested the sheriff's forces
refused to permit him to see his
friends or an attorney and told him if
he would plead guilty he would get a
light sentence.
In its decision the supreme court
condemns the actions of the deputy
sheriffs in making any promises to the
prisoner and says the corut Mas in err
ror not to inform the prisoner of his
right to counsel. The conviction is
ordered set aside and new trial di-
rected.
In its decision the corut refers to
Aliens assertion that while he was
held in Jail the officers made number
of attempts to have victims of the
robbery identify Allen as the criminal.
but that in every instance the people
said Allen was not the man.

CHINA HOLDS BACK.
k0mura Unable to Complete Desired
Negotiations.

Tokyo. Dec. 20.-The continued
failure of Baron komura to conclude
the negotiations with the Chinese gov
eminent at Picking, which were begun
after the conclusion of the Russo Jap
anese war. is an open secret. 1t is be-
lieved by some japanese here that the
extent of Japan's concessions are such
as will fail to secure what they think
should properly have been her acqui-
sitions as the result of the treaty of
Portsmouth.
For example, the building of the
kirin Ching Chung railway has not
been conceded, and the stationing of
railway guards is not to be permitted.
leaving the work in the hands of the
police, who will be withdrawn when
the period for the withdrawal of troops
expires.
China's firm attitude is believed to
be due to combined pressure indirectly
exerted by Russia, France and Ger
many.
The cutlery against the alleged weak
ness of the cabinet is increasing, and
some persons advocate the suspension
of the Picking negotiations.
The kindness of the emperor of Ger
many to former Japanese prisoners of
war on their way home is appreciated.
but the japanese appear to be distrust-
full of his style of diplomacy.

ADVERSE REPORT ON CANAL
Committee Refuses Sanction to Lake
Washington Waterway.

Washington, Dec. 2O-The report
of the committee appointed by the
board of engineers to examine into the
modified plans for ship canal con-
Meeting Puget sound with Lake Union
is unfavorable to the project.
The report has been sent to the
house committee on rivers and har-
bors. The Investigation was carried on
at the request of the harbors commit
tee, the object being to obtain an
authoritative statement as to the adj
visibility and cost of canal leading
only to Lake Union and not to Lake
Washington and of lesser depth than
was contemplated in the original
plans.
According to the report the esti-
mated cost under the modified plan is
S$1 ,665, 4O5 and of maintenance $50,
600 annually.
The members of the Washington
delegation are greatly disappointed
over the adverse report, and Represen-
tative Jones, who is the states men,
Der of the rivers and harbors commit
tee. is deeply concerned about it. Ev-
cry member of the delegation is re-
solved, however. to go ahead as if the
adverse report had not been made.
No member of the delegation believes
the project is disposed of by this I'M
favorable report, and united effort
will be made to secure an appropria-
ton for the canal when the netx river
and harbor bill is brought in.

BANKERS and TAX
Commission CONFER

Seattle. Dec. 2O.-The state ia,
commission has no intention of com
polling banks to file annually on Marcel
l statement of deposits for the pur
pose of taxation. This was fear the
members of the State Bankers Asso
citation entertained and they entered
the conference with the tax commits
sion prepared to insist strongly upon
the protection of their books.
The commission itself frowned down
the proposition of throwing open the
banks books to the inspection of the
assessors.
ut would create the worst panic
the state has ever known. result in
calling in all loans and hundreds OF
thousands of dollars of depositors
money being withdrawn from de-
post, Il. d. Rockwell summed uI
the situation for the bankers. 'If the
practice were continued annually the
state would not recover from the
blow"
The bankers were assured that there
was no foundation for their fears. and
with that understanding the subject
was dropped.
The assessment of mortgages on the
basis of the laws of New York and
Wisconsin was suggested by the tax
commission.
The bankers had protested against
the assessment of mortgages, holding
that if investors had to pay taxes on
such investments the effect would be
to drive capital out of the state. Mil
lions of dollars would annually be
affected by such taxation and either
the borrower would have to pay an ad :
ditional tax burden or the investors
would go elsewhere.
Members of the tax commission sug-
gested that the New York and Wis
consin laws were equitable. These pro-
vide for tax of six-tenths of one per
cent on mortgages. The bankers dis
cussed the law, but did not approve
it. They desire another conference
with the tax commission on the sub
ject.
1t was stated to the bankers that
the state law definitely defines the
manner in which bank stocks shall be
assessed, and that this law will be fol-
lowed. At the state conference of as
SCISSORS, to be held in Olympia Janu-
airy 16, an effort will be made to Sc
cure uniformity in assessments.

DEFY THE GOVERNMENT.
WOrkmen's Council issues Appeal to
People.

st. Petersburg. Dec 20.-The work
men : council. under the very noses
of the police. has succeeded in print
ing 100. 600 copies of the paper an
nouncing that the government has de-
clared a civil war on the proletariat,
annd saying that the challenge must
be accepted.
In its appeal to the people the coun-
ell declares this is the government 5
manoffs is tottering and that another
blow will cause it to fall. The coun-
ell adds:
while the government at st. Pc
tersburg is falling. it's own regiments
are rising against it. and at Riga a re-
public has already been proclaimed.
A few regiments may still be faithful,
but the army as whole is still on our
side. The government wants to fight.
1t shall have it.
The people are for us. If we are
defeated it will not be our last battle.
We can fight on. The government is
risking everything. its army and its
finances.
"Witte cannot play his hypocritical
game any longer. The government
has only made concessions to save it.
self from ruin. Now. seeing that its
fall is inevitable. it is making last
despairing effort to recover its power.
1--WE would have preferred delaying
the decisive conflict until better pre-
pared, but reaction makes retreat i'm
possible. A conflict cannot be, avoid
ed.
The paper also makes direct ap-
peal to the army, which is signed 1.-THE
Pan Russian Union of the Army and
the Navy"
This appeal inveighs against the
tyranny of the government, which ii
says employs the army not against a
foreign foe, but to shoot down their
own people. 1t urges the soldiers and
sailors to remember their parents, Their
wives and their children, to take d
share in the emancipation of the ma
ton. to organize secretly, to take oath
not to shoot down the people and tc
join in the general strike when it shall
have been proclaimed.
