chill wind came off the ford, making
it necessary to wear overcoats and
winter clothing.
The city was alive at an early hour
and by 8 o'clock the avenues reaching
to the cathedral were filled with strug-
Cling lines of people making for the
choicest points of vantagezfrom which

These sounds carried the tidings over
the city and harbor and the echoes
were carried up and down the ford.

Rate Bill Conferees Nearing Compile.
ton of Work.
Washington, June 23.-What is re-
garded as only temporary halt has
Overtaken the railroad rate conference
agreement. At the meeting during
the morning two of the three points
left open for further discussion we're
settled. This leaves the agreement
complete with the exception of dis
pute over the question Of whether pipe
lines shall be declared common car
riers'' and as such forbidden to own
the commodity they transport.
The house conferees are contend
ing for a modification of this "com-
modify amendment by changing the
words common carriers" to "rail-
roads" and without agreeing on this
question the conference broke up.
The disputed points discussed in
cluded the sleeping car question: It
was agreed that sleeping cars should
be included in the bill as common car
riers and subject to regulation as
such. The second disputed point was
as to the five days notice to be given
before issuing an injunction enforcing
an order of the commission. The SEN
ate amendment requiring this notice
was accepted by the conferees. 1t
also was agreed that no exception
should be made for lumber In the com
modify amendment.
The conference report on the bill
has been drawn with the omission of
the one disputed point and it is the
firm belief of those interested that
this will be settled before the day is
over.

OPPOSITION IN SENATE.
Appropriation for Presidents Travel

Appropriation for Presidents Travel
ing Expenses Discussed.
Washington, June 23.-The senate
was prompt in resuming considera-
tion OF the amendment to the sundry
civil bill appropriating $25,000 for the
payment of travelling expenses of the
president. Senator McCumber was
the first speaker, but he contented
himself with brief reference to the
record of President Roosevelt in ad-
vocacy of equal privileges to all. He
reached the conclusion that the presi-
dent could not be held responsible for
the pending proposition.
Senator McLaurin also explained
that he did not desire to be understood
as criticising the presidents use of
horses, carriages and yachts, which
are the property of the government.
He wanted it understood that he had
no objection to that practice if in
dulged in nor did he believe the pub
lie objects to the use of these con-
veniences by either the president or
his family. His opposition was, he
added, due entirely to the fact that
such legislation tends to build up
class distinctions, which he main
tanned should be reprobated by all.

cPHELD BY SUPREME COURT.
Wisconsin Al VaIorem and Inherit
ance Tax Laws Valid,

Wisconsin Al vaIorem and Inherit
ance Tax Laws Valid.
Madison, Wis, June 23.-The su.
preme court has upheld the railroad
ad valorem and inheritance tax laws
The ad valorem taxation law Is the
product of the legislative session of
1908 and changes the system Of tax
ing railroads from the license to the
percentage upon valuation set by the
state tax commission sitting as the
state board of assessment. The law
was drafted by the tax commission
after four years of careful study.
The law provides that the railroads
shall pay into the state treasury the
regular license fee as paid under the
gross earnings system and that when
the valuation of the road was made
and the assessment rate determined,
the company and any deficiency shall
be made good by the railroad COM
pany. ~ .4 H. .-- @
The inheritance law imposes a tax
upon every transfer of property, real or
personal, lying within the jurisdiction
of the state, made either by will or
the interstate laws of the state, or in
contemplation of the death of the
owner and to take effect after his
death Transfers under power of at
torney are also subject to the tax.
The tax so imposed is upon the clear
market value of the property at the
rates imposed by law and upon the
excess of exemptions granted by law.
The primary rates are imposed upon
estates which exceed the exemptions
allowable and do not exceed $4,000.
The rates of taxation are graded
according to the value of the estates.
