STATE CAN: 3T COLLECT TAX
Judge Wheeler Rales on Inheritance
' Case of tho Addlsoa
- Cochran Estate.
i
Judge Wheeler of the district court
handed down his decision yesterday In the
case in which the state treasurer sought
to subject the Addison Cochran estate to
the payment of the collateral inheritance
tax. His ruling was adverse to the etate.
The questions Involved In the action had
not before arisen In this county and this
made the case one ot more than ordinary
Interest. Addison Cochran died In April,
1896, leaving an estate which the admin
istrator, under the terms of the will, was
required to convert Into cash and as soon
as possible distribute among the heirs.
The collateral Inheritance tax law was
passed about a week before Mr. Cochran's
death, but did not go into effect until July
4 ot the same year.. Judge Wheeler held
that while the heirs did not obtain title
to the estate they acquired an undivided
right to an interest in It immediately on
the death of the testator, which could uot
be affected by subsequent legislation. Had
the law gone into effect at the time ot its
passage then the estate would have been
subject to the tax. Nearly $10,000 waa in
volved In the suit, which it I expected
will be appealed to the supreme court. At
torney General Mullan appeared for . the
state.
The motion of the defendant for a new
trial and a modification of the decree In
the divorce suit of Mary McGlnnes against
James B. McGlnnes was , overruled.
: The motion of the defendant for a new
trial in th suit of A. Goldstein against
the St. Paul Fir and Marine Insurance
company waa argued and taken under ad
visement by Judge -Wheeler.

Action la Insane Cases.
The Board of Commissioners on Insanity
yesterday applied to the state board for the
parole of 8. Borenson. committed to 8t. Ber
nard's hospital In May, 189$. The applica
tion waa made at the request ot the Odd
Fellows, who will cars for Borenson. In the
case of Eugene Vader, the board decided to
parole him for ninety daya on trial In the
car of his wtf. H is a patient at St. Ber
nard's hospital. In the case ot Harry Green,
committed to Bt. Bernard's June 20. 1902, It
waa decided to release blm September 8.
After investigating the condition ot Mi
chael Datley, committed to St. Bernard's for
observation last Monday, he was decreed in
sane and will be kept at the hospital Instead
of being sent to Clarlnda.
The application for the parole of Harry L.
Brlnkley waa denied, as the report of the
superintendent at Clarlnda ahowed he was
not a fit subject to be released at this time.

WASHINGTON. Aug. JO. The receipts of
the Treasury department for the month of
August, just closing, exceed the expendi
ture by $5,955,812, an unexpectedly large
surplus. The total receipts were $48,606,813
and the expenditures $42,620,000. For
the same month of last year tha total re
ceipts were $45,305,125 and the expendi
tures $39,351,497, a surplus of a little over
$6,000,000
The big surplus this month has been at
tained in the face of the heavy cut made
by congress in the way of wiping oft of the
books the taxes Imposed on account of the
war with Spsln. This act ot congress de
creased the receipts by something like $6,
600,000 a month. In July ths receipts from
Internal revenue fell off more than that
figure. This month the reduction Is not
so large.
The receipts from the different sources
have been aa follows:
Customs $26.WS.230
Internal revenue 17.K25.3K8
Miscellaneous 4,498,213
For August of last year the customs
receipts were $21,462,171, and Internal rev
enue $22,036,784.
The increase in customs receipts over the
same month of the corresponding year Is
over $5,000,000, showing that the country
is buying more heavily abroad each month.
The falling off from Internal revenue is
less than $5,000,000. The expenditures are
something over $2,000,000 greater than tor
the same month last year.
In accordance with the suggestion ot
Secretary Shaw, national banks In the large
cities are preparing to Increase their cir
culation by the deposit of bonds. Blnce
a few weeks ago, when Secretary Shaw
asked the banks to' prepare to meet any
emergency by increasing their circulation
the banks have notified- the controller's
office that they want to stand ready for
an Increase of $12,250,000. A large portion
of this currency Is now being printed at
the bureau ot engraving and printing and
will be ready for the banks so soon as the
deposit of funds Is made. The Increased
circulation will not be taken out at all
unless the banks are satisfied the money
will be needed In trade channels to relieve
the situation in New York or elaewhere.
The $12,250,000 does not Include the cir
culation being taken out by the new banks
and by regular banks In different parts
of the country that have not been com

FENCED RANGE PROFITABLE
Mnch Vantage Gained by Enclosed
Graslng Land Necessitated
PIERRE, S. D., Aug. 30. (Special.)
Stockmen -on the Sioux range, who ara
deploring the fact that homesteaders are
taking up the government lands and re
stricting tire free range, will find that tha
fact that they muat keep closer watch
of their cattle may not be, altogether
against their interests, If the reports from
Colorado ranges ara an Indication of the
results of such conditions.
A recent Issue ot a Colorado stock paper
speaks of the condition in that state, which
compel cattlemen to fence their ranges,
and gives comparative figures of 1of&;s
and difference In quality of cattle whlcB
have been held on fenced ranges and thosi
allowed to run free.
The difference in loss of cattle through
the year alone shows a large credit to the
benefit of the man with the fenced range,
while there is further profit In the fact
that the owner of the fenced range can
control the manner In which hie pastures
are fed down, and hold any portion he de
sires for winter range, or hold It over for
the next spring. He also has absolute
control of his breeding stock, and In this
way also gains.
The Lumley Cattle company, which op
erate ranches Just east of this city, on
Spring creek, at the lower end of the old
Fort Sully reservation, and at Little Bend,
in Sully county, will try the experiment
ot communication between the different
ranches with carrier pigeons. A number
ot these birds are being bred at ths horn
ranch, and experiment will soon be mad
In sending messages between the rsnches
with them.

TO USE THE WIRELESS WAY
England Has Plan to Pat to Prac
tical Teat the Marconi Tele
graph System.
LONDON, Aug. 30. One of the latest
wireless telegraph schemes is th proposed
installation of a combined lightship and
ocean telegraph station 100 miles west of
the Lizard.
It Is suggested that a vessel provided
with a powerful searchlight projected
against ths clouds mark the position of tha
station at night. Th wireless plant Is to
be powerful enough to command the fair
way of the channel and exchange new and
orders with passing vessels.
Should the experiment succeed It is pro
posed to establish a number of such ships
along ths coast. It is thought that they
will be particularly valuable In the trans
mission of meteorological reports and
storm warnings.

INSPIRE FOREIGN EDITORS
Roosevelt's Remarks on Monroe Doc
trine Start All Their
Pencils Gotng.
LONDON, Aug. SO. "A hated rivalry
which may some day be settled by tbe ar
bitrament, of the sword," seems to fairly
sum up the Saturday Review's opinion of
the relations between Great Britain and
the United State.
Discussing President ' Roosevelt's pro
nouncement on Monroeism, the always bit
terly anti-American Saturday Review uses
the president's speech as a text on which
to enunciate a long sermon on "American
greed and hypocrlcy," and the danger
threatening the British empire from the
United State' future expansion. It says.
In reviewing the history of the Monroe
doctrine:
It Is unfortunate. If not exceptional, that
the United States cannot be satisfied with
the plain, straightforward policy of self
Interest, without attempting to explain It
as a disinterested and highly moral posi
tion. It was on thla basis that the war
with Bpaln was undertaken, resulting in
the Philippines being annexed and Cuba
being put under the heel. South America's
natural resources are naturally enormoua,
but the Individual statea cannot act to
gether. It Is plain that .they will not long
resist Amerlcsn extension southward and
American protection from European as;
greesion will soon Incubate In occupation
by the United States.
Proceeding to discuss tho effect of Monroe
Ism on the British empire, the Saturday
Review says:
The United States is the only great power
separsted from the British empire by noth
ing but a lard frontier and it is the settled
object of the United States ultimately to
Includs Canada.. The United Statea la com
mercially growing faat at our expense, and,
judging from Its present progress, the
Dower ot the United States In wealth and
numbers will soon exceed that of any rival
we have, possibly excepting Russia, whose
position In- relation to us territorially la
not nearly so critical. Under these clr
cumstancea It Is perfectly clear that the
power we need be most concerned about Is
America. Commercial rivalry ultimately
resulta In a trial by force; It la the only
settlement. The policy of either country
must avoid anything which will Increase
the other's power. On that principle the
United States haa steadily acted In oppos
ing us diplomatically, never conceding a
point. We, on the other hand, have usually
s;nne out of our way to help the United
8tates. In the matter of the Isthmian canal
we lost ground and America gained. The
only balancing advantage would ba such
active friendship on the part of America
that we might count on her meeting us
half way. Ot such friendship tha Saturday
Review haa shown again and again thnt
there la neither evidence nor likelihood.
There. Is no question of liking or disliking
the Americans. It Is simply a question of
which shall ultimately get the better of the
other side. The controlling factors make It
Impossible to put the position of the two
countries In any other way.
A curiously divergent view Is expressed
by the Spectator on the same topic. It
says:
We are glad, In the Interests of the
United Statea and Great Britain and the
peace of the rest of the world, that Presi
dent Roosevelt announced in such clear
and Unmlstskeable terms that the Monroe
doctrine will be enforced by the United
Statea at all coats. The Monroe doctrine Is
a danger to peace only If and while it Is
undefined, AH authoritative statements of
the policy of the United States In this
particular are most welcome. We hold that
th mainUn,nj nt t h Mnnrna rineirln
J In aa good for us aa for the United Statea.
We, like the United States, have no desire
to see the statue quo violently altered by
the efforts of continental European statea
to carve out for themselves colonial em
pires In Central and South Africa. It would
ault us no more than the United States to
see Germany establlrhed In Southern Brasll
or elsewhere on the western continent.
Proceeding to point out that Monroeism
cannot rest on aid, but is based on power,
the Bpectator continues: '
The power on which It must primarily
rest ts sea power. If the European state
know that America baa sea power enough
to enforce the Monroe doctrine It will be
scrupulously respected. Th moment they
see the doctrine Is based only on paper It
will be disregarded. To make the doctrine
effective, America must build a fleet un
questionably stronger than that of France
or Germany. She need not trouble to out
build ua, as we not merely agree to, but
may be said to be passive supporters of
the Monroe doctrine.!
BERLIN. Aug. 30. President Roosevelt's
fresh declaration of th Monroe doctrine
ha been received ber with an air of won
der. The tone generally assumed Is one ot
surprise that tbe doctrine should be re
affirmed so energetically at a moment when
no European powsr dispute it, least of
all Germany. Moreover, it Is asserted, that
Germany gav it assent to th doctrln
soon after Presldeut Roovlt' assump
tion of the presidency and that the But
department ha abundant knowledge that
Germany doe not even contemplate se
curing coaling stations In th western hemi
sphere. Some auspicious critics suggested
that something must b going on behind
th diplomatic screen to occasion th presi
dent's enunciation.
The foreign office tells tbe correspondent
of the Associated Press that official circles
by no means sbar th nawspspsr xclts
menl. . It read to speech in connection
with the definition of th actrla con
tained In th president's last znsssag to
congress which thoroughly satisfies Ger
many. Th disposition in some quarters
to regard President Roooevelt's speech as
directed against Oermany Is wholly In
admissible, because Oermany, a the Amer
ican government know never designed ter
ritorial acquisition on th American con
tinent. Several of the newspapers here crowded
their reference to king ot Italy from the
chief editorial position In order to com
ment on President Roosevelt's speech.
NO SECOND CARDINAL NOW
Latest Report i that Pope Doesn't
Propose to Bo Harried hy
tho Press.
ROME, Aug. 10. The reports relative to
tbe creation ef another American cardinal
are unfounded, or at least prematura. For
fifteen years efforts have besn made to se
cure another American member of tbe sa
cred college, but it wo found that the
American episcopacy was not sufficiently
favorable. General Dl Cesnola came ' to
Rome to advocate that Archbishop Ireland
and the late Archlblshop Corrlgan both be
promoted to avoid their rivalry, but New
York's geographical position was regarded
at the Vatican as being too near Baltimore
to permit of Archbishop Corrlgan' ap
pointment With the passing away ot
Arehblshop Corrlgan tbe situation waa
much altered, and it Is considered that a
satisfactory solution of the Philippine ques
tion might bring recompense to Archbishop
Ireland for his services tn the affair.
. At the Vatican It Is said that newspaper
talk will only delay Archbishop Ireland's
chances, as the pope Is always irritated at
the Idea of anything being Imposed upon
him by the press.
Mgr. Guldl. the apostolic delegate In tho
Philippine Islands, will be nominated Arch
bishop of Stavropoll, the only titular arch
blshoprle vacant. The Obaervatore Ro
mano will tonight officially announce both,
the appointment to Manila ' and tbe con
flrmant ot the episcopacy.
Mgr. Guldl. after receiving an official let
ter this morning saying the pope wished
to glv him a special mark of his benevo
lence and haa appointed him apostollo dele
gate at Manila, asked for an audience,
which the pope Immediately granted. ' Mgr.
Guldl thanked the pontiff for tbe honor
conferred on him and the pope said that
from the moment it waa apparent that tho
negotiations regarding the friers' lands
would be continued at Manila, he thought
Mgr. Guldl - was the most competent and
most fitted to carry on th delicate ne
gotiations. The apostolic delegate In the Philippine
Islands was also received by Cardinal Oottt.
tbe prefect ot tbe propaganda, who said to
him: "I love you as though you were my
on."
After his consecration Mgr. Guldl will
be Instructed to proceed to his post Imme
diately, arriving there about November 7,
He will take with him an English prelat
a his secretary.
GERMAN STEAKS LUXURIES
In Berlin They Cost Forty-Fonr Cento
Per Ponnd and Are
Climbing.
BERLIN. Aug. 80. The price of meat In
Germany continue to rise and the town
council and other bodies and the newspa
pers tn every part of the empire, are dis
cussing what Is called 'the meat famine."
The butchers' guilds advanced the prlco
of meat this week from 2 to B cents per
pound. A good steak . costs 44 cents a
pound In Berlin. Markets ' are generally
reported statistically 26 per' cent higher
now than in .1900. although In Rotterdam.
Paris, Vienna and Buda Pest they are only
10 to 16 per cent higher. Germany' mora
rapid advance Is attribute to the scarcity
of home anlmalj. the exclusion ot foreign
livestock and the prohibition ef canned,
meats thus suspending large American im
ports. Hsmburg figures show. that the Imports
of American salt and smoked meats tn 1901
were only 128.800 metric hundredweights,
against 305,800 In 1898. The Imports of
sausages have shrunk In the same time
from 18,000 to 880 metric hundredweights
and American canned meats from 19,600
to 10,200 metric hundredweights. Berlin
slaughtered In July 6,110 fewer animals
than in July, 1901, in spite ot the Increas
ing population, and the slaughterings were
further diminished tn August.
The official authorities of the kingdom
of Saxony report 6 per cent decrease in
the slaughterings since 1900 and a great
lack of animals suitable for butchering. A
number of important municipalities have
petitioned the government to open tho
frontiers to livestock. The Prussian min
ister of agriculture, replying to a depu
tation of the Posen council making sueh a
request, said it was impossible to with
draw the exclusion decrees, averring that
the exclusion i of foreign animals had im
mensely Improved the veterinary - condi
tions of Germany.
