Secretary shaw's Export Zone.
The speech made by Secretary of the
Treasury Shaw before the New Hamp-
shire board of trade at Concord,
Wednesday, has attracted unusual at
tention to q new and somewhat star
Ting plan therein advocated whereby
merchants might import raw material
for their factories without the payment
Of duty. The secretary suggested do
ing away with the bonded factory and
putting in Its place bonded zone of
large area where manufactures could
be built to take advantage Of the spe-
cial tariff concessions. Into that zone
he would allow coal and every other
element of manufacture except labor
to be imported free. The condition on
which this zone should exist would be
that of supplying the foreign market.
TO Repeal Dispensary Law.
The South Carolina house of repre-
sentatives, Wednesday, voted, IA to 4S,
in favor of bill abolishing the state
dispensary, which for over eighteen
years has controlled the liquor traffic
of South Carolina. AS majority OF
the senate was known to favor the
measure, it was regarded as certain to
become q law.
Negro Appointment For Ohio.
The announcement that the president
had decided to appoint Ralph Tyler
negro of Columbus, o., as surveyor Of
customs for the port Of Cincinnati with
out the least consultation with either
of the Ohio senators, was generally I'M
Gerstood to be the administrations de-
fiance of the Ohio organization and as
reply to Foraker's attack upon the
president in connection with the
Brownsville affair The selection Of
Tyler is understood to have been on
the recommendation of Booker Wash
ington of Tuskegee, and the Washing
ton correspondents say that the Ohio
senators are exceedingly wroth over
this disregard of their privileges. When
asked what he was going to do about
it, Senator Foraker said he would leave
that to the third senator from Ohio
namely, Booker Washington. mas
much as there are some $4,000 negro
voters in Ohio, 1t is deemed unlikely
that either Foraker or Dick will OPP
pose the appointment.
Free Seeds Not Stopped.
Unless the senate and the president
interpose to the contrary members of
congress will exercise another year the
privilege of sending to their constitu-
ents free garden and farm seeds, the
house having allowed the appropria-
ton to stand. The bill as reported au-
thorized the purchase and distribution
of rare or new seeds for experimental
purposes only, but on motion of Can
dler Of Mississippi the free distribu-
ton Of common seeds was substituted
by vote of 1876 to "a.

Roosevelt's Next Battle,


1t was learned at Washington that
instead of coming out with moderate
or reassuring statement as to his attl-
tude toward the great industrial cor
porations of the country President
Roosevelt was at work upon still
more radical plan of railroad rate reg
ulation which would soon be embodied
in letter to the interstate commerce
commission. This suggestion touches
the question of overcapitaliZation and
brings the president directly in line
with the policy advocated last winter
by La Toilette The idea would be to
base future railroad rates on the ac-
tual valuation of railroad properties
without regard to their present cap
italization. The commerce commission
had found itself handicapped by the
lack of any standard by which to judge
of q given rate.
California Senate Protests.
a resolution on the Japanese school
question was passed without debate
by the California senate protesting
Of the federal government with the
control of the states schools and ask
ing the governor to do "all things nee
essary" to save the rights Of the state.
Anti Tipping Bill Passed.
The Missouri house of representa-
tives has passed the antitippipg bill
SS to 39-making 1t misdemeanor
punishable by a fine of So to $500 tc
give tip to any waiter, porter or 9TH
err servant.
To Reorganize Artillery Corps.
On motion of Chairman Hull of the
house committee ON military affairs the
house suspended the rules and passed
the bill to reorganiZe and increase the
artillery corps. 1t increases the corps
by 6,043 men, separates the field and
coast artillery into distinct sections and
increases the salaries Of the men, most
~ noncommissioned officers who have
attained skill In the handling Of guns,
thus enabling the government to retain
efficient men who otherwise would
leave at the expiration of their enlist
ment.
Clash at Gridiron Dinner.
Washington gossips are all agog
since the dinner of the Gridiron club
over the story of serious personal
clash between President Roosevelt and
Senator Foraker, with J. T.. Morgan and
III. III. Rogers among the distinguished
guests. This famous club of Washing
ton correspondents for many years has
made sport Of the public men who
we're its guests, with the understand
ing that the proceedings should be held
sacredly confidential. Usually the re-
eponses Of the roasted guests are mere
~ fhcetious efforts to conceal embar-
rassments This time the president,
who had been burlesqued as king
ruling without regard to the constitu-
ton, took the occasion to vent his
mind regarding the attempted Interior
ence Of the senate with the dismissal
Of negro troops. He also is said to
have told the banqueters that 1t was
well for the corporations that his re-
forms were being put through by the
force Of conservatism, for otherwise

Premier and Cabinet.
SCENE TRULY DRAMATIC,
Failing to Secure Support of the Elder
Statesmen, the Emperor, After Reign
of Forty-Four Years.: Abdicate.. and
Son Succeeds Him.

Seoul, July cot is reported that a
most dramatic scene occurred at the
palace when the ministers, headed by
Premier vi Wang Yong. appeared be
fore his majesty and made the cabi-
nte's final representation I'm urging the
emperors abdication His majesty
was in a high state of excitement, but
the premier in the most humble. but
firm tone. dwelt at length upon want
OF precaution and prudenie of the en-
perors policies hitherto, Especially in
diplomatic affairs, whereby he was
endangering the safety oil the nation.
The premier enumerated 1.-THE facts of
his majesty's duplicities which culmi
mated in the dispatch of h deputatiun
to The Hague peace conference and
torcibly reasoned the us{lessness of
the emperor's disavowal of his relation
it'll The Hague affair.
Unable TO successfully combat the
logic OF the premiers representation.
the emperor sought last refuge in
the council of elder statesmen. doubt
less anticipating their sympathy. The
council Immediately convened. Four
elders responded and appeared before
his majesty at ! O'Clock Friday morn
ing. The emperors disappointment
and surprise was houndless when they
unanimously agreed with the minis
tiers advice. His maiestys mind was
finally made up and he consented to
the draft Of an imperial rescript an
nouncing his abdication, which was
placed fore him for his signature.
The emperors condition was indie
scribable. Greatly agitated and per
turbed he signed the document and the
seal was affixed amid Impressive
silence
A suppressed sigh from the emperor
was the only sound which broke the
deathlike stiffness that reigned
throughout the memorable scene.
Briefly, the emperor, in the imperial
rescript of abdication, expresses his
regret that during the fortyfou years
of his reign national calamities have
followed in rapid succession and the
peoples distress has become so ag-
gravated that he deemed it now time
to transfer the crown to the heir ap-
parent in conformity with ancestral
usageS.
