Tbs board of directors of toe National Association of Manufacturers today issued the fol lowing statement addreeted "To the Congress of the United States:" "The National Association of Manu facturers indorses any reasonable meas ure to secure by tax the requisite mon ey which, together with the tariff du ties, snail be sufficient to support this government. "We deplore tbs effort of dema gogues to segregate American eitisens and make government supporters of one class and charity recipients of an other: well knowing the character of our best-grade workmen, we understand that they do not relish attempts to maks of them recipients of any other man's contributions. "We therefore recommend If neces sary for" income purposes, the enact ment of measures providing a Just and equitable tax upon all eitisens. As an illustration, ws suggest one-eighth of 1 per cent on all incomes; this would require 75 cents from the man who re ceives 1600 a year and $1,260 from the man woo receives $1,000,000 a year.

One hundred and forty-eight British warships dropped anchor hvtbe Thames tonight, the ar ray extending from the estuary at the sooth end of the river to Weetlminster bridge. In the bf art of London. The object of this extended and superb dis play of Britain's fighting power is an anti-penis show. Uneasiness prevails in every quarter of Britain. Anxiety In higher circles as to the condition of the country's defenses has caused ap prehension and pessimism throughout the body politic. Lord Roberts says tbs) arm y la a tragic joke. Admiral Beresford says the navy is not what it has been con sidered. And Germany Is excused of having aggressive designs against the peace and liberty of the Britons. The result of all this ferment is that the country is fn danger of "going off its head." The nighty armada on the Thames Is the admiralty's heroic seda tive. RICH WOMAN SMUGGLED.

Siberian' Convicts Land In Alaska nut - Are Not.Wanted. Cordova, Alaska.' July It. The St Croix has brought here 100 Russians, part of the 800 landed at Nome by the Russian steamer Vaarg and held up as the result of a Nome mass meeting, but Anally landed when it was found they had the- necessary amount of money. Cordova objects to their land ing and they may be taken to Seattle. Among the party are several who are believed to be members of tbe band of political convicta who escaped from a penal colony in tbe Interior of Siberia several months ago and who on June 20, were reported to be working their way toward East cape, on tbe ex treme Eastern coast of Siberia in an effort to cross the Be bring straits and reach America. Tbe men believed to be tbe escaped convicts are wearing old Coseack' uni forms. These men have been keeping their own counsel, re losing to com municate even with the other Russians who cams down from tbe North with them. The party reached Nome from Si beria on the Russian steamer Vaarg. After arriving In Nome the men re embarked on the steamer St. Croix, and came to this port, where they asked for work In tbe construction camps of tbe Copper River ft Northwestern rail road. The uniforms worn by tbs men sup posed to be tbe escaped political exiles show very hard usage. It is believed tbe clothes were taken from the guards killed in tbe battle at Chupotosk, near the Arctic circle last March, when tbe convicts defeated a company of pursu ing Coasecka. The Russians who came front Nome oh tbe same vessel with the suspected men profess to know nothing of their identity, and share the belief that they are the survivors of tha band of exiles who were fighting their wsy across 1, 500 miles of Siberian waste. 60,000 WANT LAND.

Many of them were already central ly located and are in their old offices, but others have constructed temporary buildinge id tbe business section.- A charge of 26 cents will be msde for re ceiving applications, but there is noth ing to prevent a notary from acting as agent for applicants, in which esse ha will notify has clients as to their suc cess in the drawing and receive a com pensation for it. All the hotels snd lodging bouses have prepared for the rush, and every available room will be used. Some of tbe hotels have rented buildings and equipped them with beds snd' many In dividuals have secured buildings and equipped tbm for sleeping purposes. Yet with all of these aeaxnmodations It is feared tbe large crowd will not be amply provided for. James W. Witton, superintendent in charge of the opening of tbe reserves, estimates that 100,000 men and women will file for lands, many applying for all three reservationa, making a grand total of probably 800,000 applications.

Some of tbe homesteads to be drawn August 9 are valued at fl 6, 000 to 120, 000. It is believed about one applicant in 16 will be able to aecora a homestead worth taking up. Miss Harriet Post, daughter of At torney P. T. Post, of Spokane; Miss Helen Hamilton, of Coeur d'Alene, daughter of Genera Ortis Hamilton, and Miss Christina Donian. daughter of Judge Donian, of Missoula, have been chosen to draw all tbe numbers for ap plicants for lands in tbs Coeur d'Alene, Spokane and Flathead reservationa re spectively. On August 9 these girls, who are about 12 years old, will be blindfolded and placed beside the hugh piles of probably 2u0,000 envelopes containing applications for lands. These they will draw at random, homeaaskers being given their choice of lands in tbe order in which the names are drawn. There Is little evidence of a rush to file spplicationa in Spokane for tbe Spokane reservation, but there will be a crash on the trains to Coeur d'Alene, 86 miles distant.
