 Offensive fOryRalstOn

New York, Jufy r3.-Thomas Taggart, leader of Indiana dem- ocrats, this afternoon launched his long-heralded offensive for the nomination of Ralston. As the long succession of ballots ap- preached the half century mark the Indiana leader began to bring from eundergseover the votes he had been holding out until, he was convinced the leaders had been eliminated. In quick suc- cession two states left the Nc. Adoo standard and went over to 'Ralston. First Mississippi and then Missouri went to the snp- port of Ralston, who was third on the ffty-second ballot with 93 votes, having passed J ohm w. Davis, whose total had fallen to 59.

the long fight the ProgreaJives

the extent that Federal taxes are

He declared that when Congress

CHUANG'S TAXES HIGH :
Collects Revenue on Wines, Tobacco and Numerous Other Commodities, Including Electric Current.

Annoy, China, Jan. 29.-All the country surrounding Annoy, including Chinbay, is now in possession of nor thern troops. Annoy City and island is the only territory remaining in the hands of General Chuang Chihping, who took Annoy by force IS months ago.
 General Chuang holds a heavy hand over the city. He collects taxes on wines and tobacco and many other commodities. Every fowl sold in the market pays five cents, and every hundred eggs 20 cents. Firecrackers and paper pay 20 per cent and electric current 15 per cent. From 10 to 20 cents are collected on every pair of shoes sold; householders pay two months rent, every peddler gives up two dollars, and every shop 20 per cent of it's income.
 Hence rich and poor alike in Annoy are complaining of hard times. Also there is much robbery. and the crim- inals are seldom, if ever. caught and punished.
