AMERICANS VICTIMS

Their Taxes in Rome Regulated

ROME. March 10.

ROME. March 10.
+ The American colony In Rome has been
greatly annoyed by the recent increased
taxation In respectrof avexatious munic-
ipal imposition levied upon residents in
the capital.
The tax in question is not assessed on
any actual return of income. being based
entirely on external symptoms OF the
wealth Of each inhabitant. The tax agent
files all, the local society papers. and woe
to those who communicate TO editors ac-
counts Of their balls and dinners.
The majority OF the contributors to the
social section OF the Roman press are
Americans. hence the increase of their
taxes.
The British residents have been very
reasonably taxed. and are not complain
ing, as they make 1t n rule not to give
themselves or their guests away by press
communications.

THE PUBLIC DEPRESSED

BUDAPEST. March 10.
The despo;io regime in Hungary has be-
gun In earnest.
Ten Royal Commissioners have been
dispatched into the provinces with power
to usnrp the functions of municipal gov.
srnment in most of the inruly counties
md to suspend municipal liberties.
While disorders may break out at any
moment. the people now realize that the
government is in earnest and that the
troops viii not hesitate to FIRE on the least
2rovocatlon.
The feeling throughout the country is
one of deep depression that the military
has proved stronger than the Constitu-
.ional power. IL is recognized that it was
he Honvcds. or national militia, who
axe the oath to the Hungarian Constitll-
ion as we'll rs to the crown. who cleared
.he Parliament building
As the Honveds would have to form the
nucleus of Hungarian national force, an
armed rising, therefore, seems improba.
bic.
rho Parliament, however, does not yet
confess itself beaten, and an attempt will
apparently be made tomorrow TO hold the
sitting al announced.
According 10 Hungarian pcria ;nentary
custom, the sitting must be announced
publicly, and the police have been busy
today tearing down placards declaring
that the Deputies will march TO pte Diet
tomorrow and demand admission
The attempt to hold tho sitting cannot
be more than n mere demonstration, as
Major General Nriri, the Royal Commits

gary, announces. through The official
gazette today that he will prevent the
holding of the sitting by armed force.
Nevertheless. the president OF the Dict.

BERLIN. March 10.

BERLIN, March 10.
An extraordinary discovery was made
in railway coach which arrived in Ber-
lin yesterday afternoon as part of train
from saxony.
During the journey several people had
tried in vain to open the door OF a lava
tory at the end of the coach. and before
going off duty the guard had it forced.
The body OF man almost mummitied was
found hanging inside from n coathook.
From papers in the mans pockets 1t
was discovered that the body was that of
Leipzig publican. His railway ticket
was dated January s, and he had COM
mitted suicide while travelling from Ber-
lin to Wittenberg.
For five weeks therefore the body had
accompanied the coacl, on it's journeys
between Berlin and Saxony. and this fact
speaks volumes for the manner in which
German railway carriages are cleaned.

because sentence against an evil work is

do evil. The i%nordinate desire of some
men for the accumulation OF dollars
and cents seems to override every other
consideration and he finds a pretext for
the sinful indulgence of it in Gods mer-
ciful forbearance, or seeks justification
for Sabbath day labor in that declaration
that the Sabbath was made for man and
not man for the Sabbath.
If the Sabbath was made for him to
! spend laboring as he does the other six
days OF the week for the same purposes
why was there any distinction made be-
tween it and those other six days; why
did God say: "Six days shall thou labor
and do all the work but the seventh is
the Sabbath;" or why we are command
ed to remember and keep it holy" are
