Hon. Mr. HEYBIT-I altogether object to the division made between residents, seven years' residents, and twenty years' residents. We are all equal when in the cemetery,

COLONEL BEDFORD-As a matter of course the time will come when the cemetery will have to be enlarged.

Hon. Mr. HawETT--It cannot be enlarged.

COLONEL BEDFORD-Then another cemetery must be provided. As long as there fa life and death we must make provision for people who die.

Hon. Mr. HEWETT-Therefore we ought not to be too generous with our spaces.

It is interesting to note that Mr. A. D.

He is destined; I believe, for the Civil Service; and should he be successful in his examinations will probably elect to serve in India.

Another fine example of how the American taxes work is afforded by the case of PR Chance, a millionaire of Honolula. He had to takes foreign vessel at Honolult to reach Ameri- cn, where his mother was dying. He had there fore to pay a penalty to the Japanese shipping company of four hundred dollars. He applied to the Washington authorities for a rebate of the amount, and sent in support a confirmatory sistement of the Consul at Honolulu as to the reason for taking a foreign ship. Wash ington agreed to the rebate, till & collector at San Francisco found that the millionaire stayed a day or two at San Francigee before going on to the residence of his mother-ho had received re-assuring news meanwhile-and the Government theroupon declined to allow the rebate.
