At that instant there came an

the men ran to their posts, the doors

out and were quickly hitched to the
engine and hose-cart, and within a
few seconds men, horses and appa-

Had tax IS REMOVED.
eseretary strsus Does Away with
Cause 81 Friction.

Recently there was a little notice
issued by the secretary Of the depart
ment Of commerce and labor announC-
inc t-lss the head tax on foreign diplo-
u,otie officers coming to America had
geen removed. II did not mean much
to tn average man who read It, few
residents OF this country knowing
that there was such a tax or realizing
what q long-standing source Of an
noyance it has been to foreign diplo-
mats. As a matter Of fact, however.
there is such tax on all aliens enter
ing this country. and while it is only
two dollars. and IS included in the
price OF the steamer passage, It Is still
regarded as an affront BY foreign dip
lomaic officers. putting them on the
same plane with steerage passengers.
when they are theoretically the guests
OF this government and people to be
treated Officially with marked con
sideration.
Secretary straus having been in
INC uptomAuc service himself, knew
how this trifing impost was regarded,
and his action in removing it is inn
portant as removing a decided and
useless cause Of friction. 1t may be
said also that most OF the steamship
companies manage to make a trihe
out Of the general tax on the side. it
being only two dollars, but always BE-
ing charged as $3.50 additional on
the ticket This extra so cents. Of
course. the steamship company pock-
cts. It does not claim that all Of the
tax Is paid to the government. but ap-
parently grabs the extra half dollar
merely because it can. and there is
seldom any row over 1t, because the
amount is too small for most passen-
gers to raise kick over.

He explained that mankind had been
