Opprntlon of tin' l.niv.
Tho figures compiled by Inourancc Clerk
Price show that In six months, cndlrg
June 1, the collections amounloJ to
$44,280.28. The collection! of 111' snori
law was In force, amounted to approximately
U000, and during the same pcrlol ths
auditor's office resolved nearly $7,000 from
lnsuranco companies. Dut It was only re-
cently thnt the auditor began 10 strictly
enforce tho reciprocal feature. Th s stctl n
of the law provides that the auld or Jhull

tlon It wns found that tho csmpany's h:mo
state would have rharged $300 It thi I.-
rense If the applicant had bjen a Nebraska
company. The auditor then compe'l d tho
company to pay $245 additional lo- in It-
cense. j
Still another s?cllon of the law, whlc'j. '
however, docs not come within the Jurh-
diction of tho auditor, lias been almost en-
tlrely disregarded. This Is the lection pro-
vldlng for the collection of a 2 per c?nt tax
on oxcom premiums. Such tnxss mus'. b
paid to the county anther ties. In sure
rectlons of tbe Htnto no attempt has b'ci

the Ruslan government of Its Intention to
dispatch 4,000 troops to China was accom
panied by an understanding that thee troops
wore to be U3cd for tho assistance of Euro
peans and Americans and with no purpose
of territorial aggression on the part of

tho greatest satisfaction. It Is understood
that Japan, ln connection with Russia's

rnnnccfote Cnlls 011 liny.
Lord Pauncefote. the rirltlsh ambassador,
rolled at the Stato department this after
noon and spent n half hour In conference
with Secretary Hay. His lordship had 110
news from his own government beyond that
conveyed by tho morning papers respecting
tho developments In China and ho was par-
tlculnrly anxious to be Informed ns to tho
details of the reported battle Sundny morn
ing. Tho Stale department was without In
formation on this point. It Is said that
Admiral Kempff will bo heard from In n day
or so. Tho difficulties ln tho way of a
speedy communication between tho Navy
department and tho admiral arc Illustrated
In tho series of messages that havo como
during tho last forty-eight hours from the
cable office. Yesterday tbo department wns
Informed that while the wlro system beyond
Che Foo and leading up to Taku nnd Tien
Tsln had been cut. It had been arranged
that n dally steamboat would take messages
for these points at Che Foo and carry them
to their destination up the river. Though
this arrangement Involved a day's delay, It
was acceptable and the authorities were dis
appointed nt receiving today the following
from the cable office:
"Cablo office reports Chlnse administra
tion canceled arrangements for postal ar
rangements from Che Foo to Tien Tsln nnd
Taku. Tho Great Northern route through
Siberia will do Its utmost to get telegrams
through to Tien Tsln, but raossages can bo
ncccpted only at sender's risk."
An ugly feature about this notice is tho
disclosure of nn apparent purposo on the
part of the Chinese government to Interfere
with free communication between the for
eign commanders nt Tien Tsln and Clio
Foo nnd their respective governments, an
action which may have somo bearing on the
decision which must be reached very shortly
an to the status of the relations between
China and tho other nations of tho world.
GERMANY IS VERY CAUTIOUS
llorllu KitircNxloiiN nn Chinese hlln

Nervntlte. BERLIN, Juno 19. The German govern
ment continues to cxpreia Its opinion with
the utmost caution regarding the situation
In China. Even now It contrives to avoid
the uso of tho word "war" and still expresses
a hopo that the Pe.kln government Is Inuo
cfnt cf deliberate hostllo action. The Ger
man pruvi is outspoken In Its demands for
more vigorous steps. The Vofltche Zcltuug
3ays: "Germany, In conjunction with tho
others powers, will bear Its sharo of the
burden ot ro-eatabllshliig normal conditions,
but wo claim an equal Bharo of tho reward."
An official cf tho foreign office remarked
today that It the alarming nows from Pekln
was truo some confirmation of it would al
most certainly havo reached tbe coast,
adding: "Still, the foreign office Is prepared
to hear bad new3 when any news does
come, which will probably be several days
hence."
Tho foreign office omphazUses tho fact that
the Taku fortj fired upon the International
fleet In answer to n request to land marlncH
tn protect foreigners In Tien Tsln. It Is uu-
ablo to explain tho action of the Chinese
commander except upon the assumption that
be acted upon general orders from Pekln.
The foreign office has no confirmation of
tho rcpsrt, publ'shed In the British papers,
thnt tbo German gunboat was badly damaged
In tho engagement with tho forts and that
Its captain was killed. It discredits theso
rumor. A leading official, speaking for tbo
foreign office, repeats tho denial that the
powers nro negotiating regarding a courso
of Joint action nnd say that everything has
been left to tho various commanders, who
will simply "perform police duties."
Au official dlopatch says that everything Is
quiet at Klao Chou. The mother of tbo
Herman minister at Pekln, Baron von Kette-
ler, In Munstcr has received a telegram from
China saying that tho nows of her son's
dtiith Is not true.
