On Canton.

HONG KONG, May 2.-The foreign
quarter OF Canton, known as the
Shamien, Is now under the guard OF
several hundred marines landed from
the foreign vessels lying in the West
river Advices from the rebel-ridden
section today, say the marines most
OF them from British vessels, have
trained machine guns on the canal.
II is believed this precaution will
prevent the Shamien from being at
tackled.
There are two United States gun
boats, four British vessels, two
French vessels and one German gun
boat lying OF Canton.
So far the foreigners in Canton
have not suffered injury. The com
mander of the force of marines is I'M
der orders TO take steps to protect
all foreigners. There is, however, the
greatest fear for the safety OF the
missionaries and traders in the In
terror OF the affected district. The
Church Missionary Society, the
Christian Missionary Alliance. the
Wesleyan Missionary Society and the
American Southern Baptist Mission
have about twenty-five representa-
tives throughout the disturbed area.
Primarily the revolt is anti-Manchu
in character, but incidentally 1t Is

Business generally in Topeka is not

and few luxuries are being bought is
true, nevertheless there Is a DISPOSE
ton to be optimistic.
In the smaller towns bankers are
blue penciling their notes and keeping
their collections up as closely as is
possible but they are not driving too
hard in their operations. The recent
talk of hard times has had to do with
present conditions, business and fnan-

cause for worry.
Real estate dealers too. are optim-
istic. Among these is ". J. Ricken-
hacker, secretary and treasurer of the
state organization, who says that BUSH
ness in that line is not slower than at

last five years Mr.. Rickenbacker has
seen just the same condition as the
present one in Topeka, II July. There
has been no slump in prices though

months.

THE SCHOOL TAX.
Senator Millken Proposes 1t Should be
Distributed on Attendance. How It May
Affect Waldo County.

Senator Miluken Proposes 1t Should be
Distributed on Attendance. How It May
Affect Waldo County.
Senator Milliken of Aroostook thinks
he has solved the perplexing school tax
problem in his bill which is now pending
in the legislature. The principal feat
ure of this bill is that it bases the dis
tribution of school money on school at
tendance. Under the present law the
regular school and mill fund is derived
from tax of one and one-haf mills on
the total valuation of the State and is
distributed to the municipalities as fol-
lows: One-third according to the num-
Der of scholars therein and two thirds
according to the valuation of the town.
The so-called grange school bill, also
now ending, provides for the distribu-
ton of all the money according to school
population.
Senator Milliken believes that the mu-
inequalities that get the most children in
the schools should have the most money
from the State and does not consider it
the proper spirit. to favor or oppose a
school money bill according as it benefits
or does not benefit any particular town,
but rather to consider the best interests
of the State as whole. He has found
in his investigation that there are many
pupils in the parochial schools and he in
cludes them in his tabulalions, only the
pupils between the ages of five and Is.
He would also credit to each municipality
all of the school children regardless of
where they attend school.
Senator Milliken has prepared an elab-
crate table showing the results of his bill
as compared with the present distribu-
ton, the figures being based on the re-
turns of 1909. These show that Wash
ington county has the least average at
tendance and that it would gain $l4, ZOO
under his bill. The following table shows
what would happen in Waldo county.
The first column gives the name of the
municipality, in the second the average
attendance in per cent of the pupils Of
the town, in the third the amount re-
ceived under the present method of dis
tribution, in the fourth the amount which
would accrue under the Milliken bill, and
in the last the percentage of valuation
raised by the town for common schools
The star before the percentage of at.
tendance indicates that High school at
tendance there was not available.

Sch. Savannah Defeats the Hugh De Pay
ems in Run From Jacksonville.
PORTLAND, February %. Capt. Will
liam H. Gould of the handsome white
four-masted schooner Savannah, was a
pretty proud captain when he came into
Portland harbor early yesterday after
noon. He had won long ocean race
from Jacksonville to Portland, and that,
too, over a remarkably fast opponent.
On February 5th, the two craft sailed
away from Jacksonville together, each
heavily loaded with hard pine. The Sa-
vannah had slightly the advantage, for
she is four-sticker, while the De Pay
ems is but three-master. Even at
that the latter was reported on the
shoals some time ago, while the Savapk
nah had not been heard from. However,
Capt. Gould made good time and got in
here yesterday before his opponent had
come along. When the trip was COM
pleted yesterday it marked the 50th
round trip to the south from Portland.
This is regarded as a pretty good record
for craft that is but nine years old. In
the nine years, she has covered over
200, 900 miles and has carried nearly 25,-
000,00 feet of lumber.

Evidently respondent over Ill health.
James ]. Murphy, thirty-seven years old,
a watchman in the Navy Department,
committed suicide yesterday. afternoon
about 5:45 o'clock In his room at So61t
I street northwest, by shooting himself
in the right temple with q .32-caliber 1ver-
Johnson revolver. He died almost i'm
mediately.
Murphy had not been at work for the
last two weeks and had seemed melan-
choly for several days, refusing to leave
his room. Yesterday afternoon F. D.
Long. a carpenter. who, with his wife,
occupies an adjoining room, heard pistol
shots and on investigating found Murphy
lying across his bed with blood flowing
from a slight wound in his head and a
hole in his right temple. The ambulance
from the Emergency Hospital was sum
moned. but when it arrived the physician
said that the man was dead. 1t Is sup
posed that he died almost instantly.
Murphy, as far as is known, had no
relatives in this country. He came here
from Ireland and served in the Spanish
American war, at the close of which he
obtained a position as watchman in the
Navy Department He had formerly lived
at 1905 Sixth street northwest, but moved
to the 1 street house on May last.
The police advance the theory that he
was demented at the time Of the shooting,
basing their opinion on letter found
written on a piece Of yellow paper which
was found on a trunk. The letter reads
