Secretary Shaw lias given some
study to the matter of the proposed
Cuban loan of $35,000,000 and has

cholera situation in the Philippines
was well uuder control and that there
would be a general diminution In the
nunilier of eases from now on. He
declared that all tlie latest Information
from the Philippines was favorable to

The chief factor In that direction was
the rainy season, which. General For

continue until Novemlier.
Orders have been Issued by the Navy
Department providing for a visit of
the United States steamship Adams to
Wake island and the Midway Islands,

proaching Wake island in June last he
discovered It Inhabited by n party of
Japanese.
Tbo census bureau lins Issued a re

5121.537.375. During the past decade
the capital Invested increased almost
$25,000,000, and the value of products
almost $10,000,000. Tlie statistics show
that the trend of tlie Industry is to
ward the central states, where land is
cheaper, suitable lumber aDundunt and
prices therefore favorable, and where
also the developed railroad systems af
ford abundant means of transporta
tion.
The action of the Cuban House of
Representatives in voting that none of

contemplated action of the United

the United States with an artillery
force Is occupying some portions of
Cuba now, It Is not tlie Intention to
have this force remain permanently
and It Is acting In the capacity of In
structor to Cuban troops, ns well as
for tbo purpose of aslssting the Cuban
government should a well trained force
be needed. It has been suggested that
some portion of tlie fortresses nml ar
senals of Culm might be required for
one of the four naval stations which
the United States is to linve In Cuba,
but it Is said that none of this prop

Commissioner Yerkew of tin- Internal
Revenue Bureau, has directed that Im
mediate steps be taken for the collec
tion of the taxation of profits nud low
accounts, or undivided profits,accounts
of banks, trust companies or private
banks under the war revenue act of
June. ISUB. The amount to be collect
ed will approximate, it Is said. $300.-
000. Under an opinion of the Depart
ment of Justice the tax had only been
collected on the capital and surplus of
banks, but tlu* commissioner ruled last
January that the undivided profit, or
profit and loss accounts, of bunks are
part of the surplus, and thereby sub
ject to tax. After this ruling was
made, by request of representatives of
banks, the commissioner agreed Janu
ary 27th last to withhold collection
pending a decision by the United
States District Court In a suit to be
brought to test tbo question. James
Forgan, president of the First National
Hnnk of Chicago, was the chairman of
the committee representing the banks
that called upon tlie commissioner last
January protesting against the collec
tion of this tax. January 27th last the
commissioner wrote him that while he
would require the banka, trust compa
nies and othois Interested to make re
turns at once to the department show
ing their undivided profit or profit and
loss accounts, he would withhold col
lection until a decision was secured in
the United States HlHtrlct Court, but
said distinctly In tills letter that If tlie
court held that, under tin* law. undi
vided profits are a proper subject for
taxation, then payment of tin* tax
would Ik* enforced, notwithstanding nn
appeal might tie taken by tin* banks
to the Supreme Court. This tax was
repealed by the last Congress, the re
peal to take effect July 1. 1002. so that
nt present there Is no internal revenue
tax on capital, surplus or undivided
profits of banks. The tax to lie collect
ed wll be for the year ended July 1,
1002.
The War Department has decided to
appoint a board of army officers to in
vestigate and report upon tlie needs
for military purjsises of the Fort 'Sill
reservation, Oklahoma Territory, with
a view of having the lands ttint are not
needed allotted to the Apache Indian
prisoners. These Indians desire to oc
cupy the lands and cultivate them, and
officers of the army have recommended
that such a hoard be apisilnted.
The repairs to the White House nr»*
rapidly uenring completion and will be
finished long before the President is
ready to bring bis family back to
Washington. Of the old White House
nothing will be left but the outside
walls and these will not tie ehaliged
in the least. A few rods from the
White House, within the grounds, the
work of erecting an office building for
the President Is being rapidly pushed
along and will be completed by the
time the President returns to take tip
his official life In Washington. The
walls of the new building nre nearly
completed and It does not compare well
with the White House, or the state,
war and navy building, between which
It Is situated. The structure is low and
built of red brick and its appearance
Is not prepossessing. Many changes
have been made in the interior of the
White House and the removal of tin*
business offices will give plenty or
room for social functions. President
Roosevelt nnd tils family Intend that
the short session of Congress shall be
marked by fully us much social life

national capital.
Army officers are not surprised at
the report that Gen. Jacob Smith will
seek redress In the courts from the or
der of the President by which he was
summarily retired. Smith’s friends
tliluk bis treatment was Illegal. The
order which placed him on the retired
list was appended to the President's
comment on the findings of the eourt
uinrtlnl, which recommended that Gen
eral Smith be admoulslied by the re
viewing authority, In this case the
President of the United States. Gen
eral Smith's friends have contended
that the President, by appending tin
order for retirement to the admonition,
increased the sentence. Under the law
the reviewing authority of n court
martial has no authority to Increase a
sentence. Secretary Root and Judge
Advocate General Davis have paid no
attention to the comment on the le
gality of General Smith's retirement.
Judge Advocate General Davis. In an
swer to a query, pointed out tbnt the
law which enables the President to re
tire nn officer after he Is sixty-two
years old. without giving cause, wna
never enacted ns n punitive measure,
nnd did not Increase any punishment.

Tlie President has appointed Oliver
Wendell Holmes, chief Justice of the
Supreme Court of Massachusetts, to
Im* an associate justice of the Supreme
Court of the United States, vice Jus
tice Gray, resigned. The resignation
of Justice Gray was duo to ill health.
Several months ago he suffered n
stroke of apoplexy, which somo time
later was followed by another. He
has not appeared on the bench since
be was stricken the first time. Ills
advanced age, seventy-four years, told
against bis recovery with serious force.
Realizing tbnt he probably never
would be able again to assume the
place which be so loeg bad filled with
distinguished ability and honor, he de
clJed a short time ago to tender his
resignation to the President. Oliver
Wendell Ilolpies was born lu Boston

An anomalous situation obtains in
the Islnud of Guam in reference to the
administration of Justice anil Com
mander Scliroeder. governor of tlie
island, lias been driven to appeal to tlie
Navy Depaartnieiit here* for Instruc
tions ns to the limit of his powers.
Congress has not legislated for the
Island and the will of the naval gover
nor has been practically supreme.
When the Island was turned over to
the Navy Department anil CaptrJn
Leary was appointed governor, he de
ckled to continue In operation the old
Spanish laws, except such as should be
modified by Ills direction, or that of tbo
Navy Department. Under the- old sys
tem of laws thus put in force there ex
isted practically but a single court on
the island, the court of first Instance,
which corresponds to the lowest Judi
cial t>lbunal in this country. Under the
I Spanish law an appeal was allowed
from tlie decisions of this court to the
court of cassation In the Philippines,
with provision for a final appeal In cer-
I tain class of cases to the government
at Madrid. But with the advent of
■ American control in the Philippines
this power of appeal was cut
off and tho decisions of tlie court of
first Instance practically stand as the
decision of the court of last resort.
Some time ago a native was convicted
lu this court of murder nnd was sen
tenced to be executed. The evidence
seemed to leave some question of bis
guilt nnd the governor was appealed to.
Being at n loss as to wlint action he
could take, he advised the secretary of
the navy of tlie situation nnd asked for
instructions. There are said to In* oth
er eases which Involve the rights of
American citizens who have been tried

whole subject Is being carefully con
sidered by tlie Navy Department. Tlie

shortly render an opinion upon which
Acting Secretary Darling will act.
BIG CREAMERY FAILS
ELGIN IN HANDS OF A RECEIVER
Company Operated 135 Creameries —
Creditor* Estimated at Nearly 10,-
000— Largest Concern of the Kind
In the Country.
Chicago,. Aug. 17.—The Elgin Cream
ery Company, which operates 13.»
creameries throughout lUlnnia. lowa
nnd Wisconsin, failed yesterday. The
creditors an* estimated to number near
ly 10,000. over 8,000 being farmers.
The American Trust and Savings
Bank was appointed receiver and It;
bond fixed at $500,000.
Just before the United States Court
closed In tlie afternoon a petition of
bankruptcy directed against the com
pany was "filed with the clerk and then
taken before Referee Sidney C. East
man. who entered the order for the al>-
polntment of tlie received. The a wets
of the company are claimed to be
SBOO,OOO, while the liabilities are esti
mated at $350,000. Inability to realize
on outstanding accounts is given us
the couse of the failure.
The Elgin Creamery Company Is the
largest concern of its kind lu the Unit
ed States and was organized by the
consolidation of si*ores of Independent
plants throughout the country. Its
authorized capiiul stock Is $4oo.«>00.
Of this amount $275,000 Is outstanding
and paid up.
The petition ou which the affairs of
the concern were placed In tlie charge
of the trust company charges that the
concern is Insolvent and that the
claims of the creditors enumerated lu
the petition remain unpaid, although
long due. For the protection of tlie as
sets of the company and tlie ultimate
payment of the creditors, the appolnt
tncnt of the receiver In asked.
As soon as Referee Eastman bail
read the petition he granted the motion
for the appointment of a receiver ami
designated the American Trust and
Savings Bank. Tlie receiver took pos
session of the Chicago offices and
agents will bo sent at once In a dozen
different directions to take legal ims
siHsion of the vnrlous plants of the
company. The plnintlff creditors kept
their notion secret as far as possible.
In order to prevent attachments on the
holdings of the company in other
states.
lu order Hint a heavy financial loss
may not be caused to the farmers de
pendent on the company for tin* sale <»f
their milk, arrangements already have
been made by the receiver to continue
tlie operation of tin* various plants. No
th*** to that effect will be sent out at
the same time the agents for the re
cclver take legal jHissesslon of the
creameries.
'Hie company, ever since Its organi
zation. has almost <*ontrolled the
creamery business of the three states
In which It is operated. When It was
formed It took all the best Independ
ent concerns engaged in the manufac
ture of butter. Its affairs were gen
erally thought to be lu a nourishing
condition.
It has been doing a business of $3-
000,000 a year on a capital of $275,000.
BOER LEADERS IN LONDON.

Greeted as Heroes.
London, Aug. 17.—Generals Botlia,
lie Wet nnd De la Rey arrived in
Southampton yesterday morning and
met with a great reception, both from
government officials and the public.
The Boer generals looked remarkably
well and evidently were much pleased
at the heartiness of the welcome ac
voriled them. Soon after landing they
boarded tlie steamship Nigeria, where
Joseph Chamberlain, colonial **ecre
tary; Earl Roberts and General Lord
Kitchener greeted them. They were
also Introduced to Mrs. Chamberlain

The Boer generals reached London
In the course of the afternoon and
were loudly cheered In the streets.
Asked why they declined the govern
ment’s invitation to witness the naval
review, tlie vinltors remarked tbnt they
were “too tired after the long war aud
needed a rest.”
The scene at the railroad station on
the arrival of the Boers was remark
able. An enormous crowd of people
gave them a welcome as hearty as that
given to lyord Roberts and Lord Kitch
ener when they arrived from South
Africa. Shouts of "Good old I>e Wet,"
••Our friends, the enemy" and "Brave
soldiers all." were frequently heard
amid salvos of cheers. General De

bad to be rescued by tin* police, who by
sheer force cleared a Hue of retreat for
him.
General De Wet’s secretary stated
