NEW WHEAT COUNTRY.

Some Idea Of the Importance Of the
Hudson Bay district in the matter OF
wheat production may be gained
from the fact that the government of
Canada is considering the construc-
ton Of a railroad into that country.
There is said to be a vast amount OF
land available for wheat culture. and
If the grain is raised means Of trans
porting It to market must be provided.
Hence the railroad.
a peculiar condition Of this devel-
opment is that for two months I'm each
year this line would be taxed to its
utmost capacity. while for the remain
der Of the year the traffic would be so
Insignificant that It would not pay ex-
penses The two months activity
would be devoted exclusively 20 the
handling Of the grain product. The
line. il built, viii be Of single tract,
and its capacity would be about six
teen trains a day. or 64.o00,OO0 bushels
a month.

Municipal Corporations
Not Liable To Taxation

Washington, June 9.-In response to an
inquiry from a number of collectors of
internal revenue inquiring whether mu-
nicipal corporations-that is, incorpora-
tions absolutely owned by municipalities
and to which no shares are sold-are IL
able to tax under the federal corporation
tax law, the commissioner holds that such
corporations are not subject to tax. The
commissioner says:
LAS general rule public property,
whether belonging to the federal govern
ment, the various states, or the political
subdivisions of such states or municipali-
ties, is not subject to taxation, 1t has
been held frequently that the exception in
favor of municipalities extend to gas
works and electric light plants.

FAMINE IMPENDING
IN NICARAGUA

Washington, June 9.-Offcial dispatches
from Managua. Nicaragua, state that the
war is fast reducing western Nicaragua
to a state of panic. The expectation Of
fruit products has been prohibited and
money exchange is rapidly decreasing.
These dispatches show that the prohi-
bition of exporting OF all food products
was by direct order of Madriz. The ad-
vance in monetary exchange has now
reached 116O per cent. which Is 610 above
the normal rate. This rate is declared to
be ruinous. 1t is explained at the State
Department that the normal rate of ex-
change is about 800 per cent-that is, $o
in paper currency to purchase one dollar
in gold
1t now takes s11eo in paper to purchase
800 in gold
Consul Olivares said that official reports
received at Managua are to the enect
that the Madriz forces under General
Chavarria suffered a disastrous defeat
before Rama and were now making an ef-
fort to concentrate at Muelie De Los
-Bueyes. where another stand likely Will
be made.
The court OF Cartago told Estrada in
response to his request that the court
exert it's influence to have Madriz accept

posed that it would do what was possible

says that he has found 1t, and that il
was fourishing openly In the federal
building here He has written to Attorney
General Wickersham saying that bribes
are extorted from aliens who desire to be
made naturalized citizens
Soon after the mayor took office he re-
ceived complaints which led him to begin
an investigation. Applicants for naturali-
zation papers are lined up in the federal
building and stand there day after day

ported that Jacob Goldstein approached
him and demanded s25 as the price of
having his case attended to.
Goldsten told him. he said, that If he
did not pay he might stand in line 100
days without getting any nearer to the
room in which the clerks were making
out the papers.
The detective said he paid $14 to Gold
stein, who was then arrested.
When Goldstein was arrested he was
brought before United States commits
sioner charged with having conspired to
extort money from applicants for natu-
ralization. Assistant United States Dis
trict Attorney Walton, the complainant in

ROOSEVELT'S BRIEF VISIT
TO ENGLAND is AN EVENT
LONG TO BE REMEMBERED

London, June 9.-Theodore Roosevelt S
brief visit to England, ending tomorrow
morning, though unfortunately coinciding
with the period of national mourning and
for that reason shorn of much of the
splendor which would have accompanied
1t under happier circumstances, was
nevertheless one of the most noteworthy
foreign visits paid to Great Britain's s
shores in recent years.
No foreign ruler or man of eminence
could have aroused more universal atten-
tion, received a warmer welcome or
achieved a greater popularity among
every class of society 1t Is true that
his structures on Egyptian affairs oc-
casioned political resentment in some
quarters, but he left no rancor behind,
because he was regarded as privileged
guest in whom no unworthy or unfriendly
motive could be suspected. and the frank
ness of his utterances is taken as a meas
ure for the strength of the friendship
binding the two nations.
The death of King Edward compelled
the curtailment of public demonstrations
and entertainments projected in his honor
Even at that he was unable to accept hs'

storms of unusual severity damaged
crops, disarranged wire communication
and railroad schedules throughout the
state of Arkansas, north ern Mississippi
and western Tennessee tonight, and 1t
is known that at least one life has

AT Fort Worth the rainfall is de-
scribed as the heaviest in years; streets

GOMPERS CHARGES
PEONAGE IN HAWAII

Washington, June 9-Charging that Rus
sian immigrants were being held Virtually
in a state of peonage on the sugar PLAN
tations of Hawaii, President Gompers of
the American Federation of Labor has
protested to Secretary Nagel of the de-
partment of commerce and labor, and
has demanded the prosecution of planters
and others who he says, have been guilty
of violations of the alien contract labor
law. The department of commerce and
labor some time ago started an investi-
CATION on its own account.
In his protest Mr.. .Gompers says the i'm
migrants were promised comfortable fur
nished homes, with electric lights, and
that they have been given roofless
shacks: that they were promised free
transportation from their homes to their
work, and that they are obliged to walk
as far as Ave miles in their own time
that they we're compelled to buy pro-
visions at plantation store at exorbi
tant prices. Other acts of oppression are
alleged.
Mr.. Gompers says that an investigation
will prove that violation of the con-
tract labor law has been systematicaIlv
carried on.
