Mr.. Thomas sammons, the Ameri-
can consul-general at Newchwang,
Manchuria,, recently visited Port Ar
thur, and while there met and had an
exceedingly interesting chat with ia
pans chief military genius and hero,
Marshal Oyama. In the course Of their
conversation the marshal stated that
he was going back to his farm %
"The emperor" he said, "called me
from the farm to enter the field, and
now that there is no more fighting for
me to do, and as. I am through

An1ncrease ofover. ten millions il
the5zgross earning ofsthe railroa ds in
Minnesota over the earnings for, 1904 is
shown BY the summary of the annual
reports for 1905. Partly on this &C.
count but especially on account of the
change from q 8 to a 4 per cent gross
earnings tax the state taxes have in
creased over million. The taxes for
the year ending Dec. 81, 1905, at 4 per
cent, amount to $3,015, ,645,e4. OF this
amount gil: has been paid in except
$175, ~. OF. " .4.@
The Chicago Great Western, !, a. which
sent in its report, paid the 4 per cent
tax onsits branch lines, but reported
at the rate of Q per cent for its main
line from ST. Paul to the Iowa line,
asserting that its territorial charter,
which provides that the payment OF a
. per cent tax shall exempt it from all
other taxes, exempts, from the 4 per
cent law. The Great Northern paid a
per cent tax on it's lines. except on
the lines leased leased. on the st. Paul,
Minneapolis: & Manitoba, which has a
charter since 1857 providing for 3
per cent tax.
The tax now collected amounts to
$',959, $50: 90. A wear ago the tax was
81, 911, 7o7. 90 and for 1908 it amounted to
ST, 97l ,665. 81. The increase over 1904 is
81, 04S, ,252:24. The increase over 1903 is
1888, 337:26, The increase in the earn
ings amounts to $10,749,6 ,696 II. This
includes; only. earnings on business
done in the state and not earnings out

One OF the oldest gifts that Miss
Alice Roosevelt received came from
an admirer of her father in Boston. It
IS a two-year-old rattlesnake, which
measures close to l2 inches, and at
present weighs ~ pounds. The gift
IS a product Of Massachusetts, having
been captured at the Blue Hill reservac
tion nearly one year ago by O., T..
Mason, Of % Hanover street, who has
spent the most of his life catching
snakes for the profit coming from their
skin, fat, oils, poison, etc, which are
in constant demand in the various col

for some ulterior motive. In contrast
tc most of the offers Of presents the
gifts of some southern friends have
been accepted gratefully and apprecia-
lively by Uncle joe" Down in North
Carolina, where he was born, there is
an old lady who never saw him, but
who has watched his public career
and believes that he has brought hon
sor to his native state, although he left
it when but a child. ... 49, = =
This old lady has not forgotten the
frontier art Of spinning yarn and
weaving cloth. Last fall she wove
with her own hands, on an old-fash-
toned loom, a web of homespun5 cloth
that is marvel of fine texture and
workmanship. She sent to Speaker
Cannon enough Of the cloth to make
him a suit Of clothes. He had his
tailor manufacture the garments, and
all winter he has proudly worn that
dark gray suit of homespun while pre-
siding over the house. It is a becom-
ing suit and has excited the admira-
ton Of all his friends. - -
Another North. Carolina lady knit
the speaker pair of white wool socks,
such as kept our ancestors feet warm
when deer skin moccasins were more
plentiful than fine leather shoes. Still

these away in his cabinet to preserve

make his outfit complete, Cols Hemp

c1ety and among his colleagues as
Berthe Adams, h1s been advocating
for two or three years the establish
ment of a whipping post in the Dis
trict for the punishment Of husbands
who beat their wives. On several oc-
casions he has advocated his bill on
the floor of the house, and it has all
ways led to an uproarious time. Mr.,
Adams is an old bachelor, wealthy and
a good deal OF a society man, and the
picture of his espousing the cause Of
abused wives has always provoked
amusement. :. II j. - NH
Theflast time: The bill was up a few
days ago it, was defeated by q three
fourths vote, but nor before the house
had had an hour. rare. entertainment.
AL sorts Of amendments were offered
.tc the bill, including propositions to
revive the thumbs crew, the boot. the
stake, the ducking stool and other
forms of torture and punishment that
belong to the dark ages. There were
prop ositions to exempt from the on
serations Of the law relative to the
whipping post the president OF TIA

the senate this session that have af-
forded him an opportunity of making
characteristic speeches than there
have been for several years. He is
opposed to the tendency of corpora
tions to monopolize trade and destroy
competition, and in the railroad rate
legislation and the propositions to in
vestigate combinations Of railroads
Mr.. T1llman has had his greatest op-
portunit1es to attack corporations in
his inimitable manner of speech.
Tillman is nothing if not original
and picturesque. He can say things
on the floor Of the senate that no
other man would dare utter: He ex-
cuses it on the ground that he is "a
plain, blunt man." When he first
came to the senate the sticklers for
senatorial propriety, like the late
Senator Hoar Of Massachusetts, and
Senator Platt of Connecticut, would
take Tillman to task for his almost
brutal form of speech when referring
to his colleagues or government off,
Gals. The senator would promise to
be good, but on the next occasion his
temper would get the best of him and
he would spit out words that were pa
tently unparliamentary. The mentors
of the senate got tired finally of try
ing to reform the one-eyed iconoclast
from South Carolina and he Is now
allowed his own sweet way, unless he
gets absolutely, insulting. ~.
Mr.. Tillman is now at home In his
state patching up a few breaches in
his political fences. He is candidate
for reelection next year, and already
considerable opposition has developed.
The old regime in South Carolina, the
silk stocking aris:ocracy, do not relish
being represented in the United States
senate by farmer like Mr.. Tillman
The latter secured his election by an
appeal to the common people,; and he
1s still catering to-, that element. .s,>:

take an independent course and defy
the orders of his party caucus. This
man is Thomas Macdonald Patterson,
an 1rishman by birth, with all the
fighting proclivities of his nationality.
Mr.. Patterson refused to be bound by
the Democratic caucus on the question
OF the ratification Of the San Domin-
gan treaty and ne received one of the
severest lectures and castigations on
the floor of the senate that has been
administered for many years. This
parliamentary trouncing was admins
tered by Senator Bailey, of Texas, who
has jumped into the leadership on the
Democratic side.
Mr.. Patterson took his dose of medi-
cine without even making wry face
and he says it will take more than the
dictum of two-thirds of the Democrats
i'll the United States senate to: read
him out of the party. Somewhat like
Cataline of old, he dehed them and de-
clared that If he went he would return
and at the next national Democratic
convention he would be there to greet
his Democratic friends and to do busi-
ness as a delegate from Colorado. Mr..
Patterson was no match for Mr..
Bailey In the colloquy that arose over
the formers recalcitrancy. He has not
the voice nor the presence that belong
to the young statesman from Texas.
Mr.. Bailey is the perfection of man
hood in aDnearaI3c.a hain1r civ foot +o1l
splendidly proportioned and without
fnperf1uous $ flesh. His face is as
round, full and as highly colored as
that of a boy of 16. His dark eyes are
clear and his hair as black as RAJ

the beau ideal of a public speaker and
