fBv telegraph TO the Dispach.l
WASHINGTON, ID. c., June 10. Secretary
Folger has written TO Representative War
ner, chairman Of the subcommittee OF the
House Committee on Claims, a long letter
expressing his approval OF the House bill
now pending to relieve from further liza
bilitv, on account OF direct tax Of 1861.
those States that have not paid their pro-
portionatc part thereof, and to refund to
States that have paid the Sums received
from them respectively. The Secretary
saws. in substance. that the Government is
not now in need Of the money to be real
lied from the enforcement OF this tax;
that such enforcement would put grlevous
burden upon the people OF the States
that are in default that the tax itself
would be especially Objectionable, mas
much as the purposes for which il was
laid could not but be remembered with
distaste that its collection would receS
state the appointment OF large number
of Federal officials who would 90 among
the people rs obnoxious eXactorS; and
that, in practical effect, the law for ii is
obsolete. In my Judgment therefore,
the Secretary says, "the people and pro-
perty of the States in default should be
relieved and discharged from this tax,
and the proposed measure is a good one.
1t is true that exactly equal justice can
not be done in carrying out the provis-
ions OF the bill relating 10 the reimburse
ment of those that have paid a part OF
the tax, but such failures Of full and gen.
era compensation in dealing with trans
actions so long past must enSue, and are
not to be potentially urged AGAINST the
proposed measures, which, i'll the main,
do work equal benefit"
In conclusion the Secretary inquiries
whether this would not be a suitable oc-
casion to deal with the matter OF Federal
surplus moneys deposited or to be de-
posted with the States under the act OF
1886. and suggests that those States which
made the payment Of their portion OF the
direct tax under the act OF 1861 be debited
I'm the settlement proposed by the bill before
the committee with the amount OF that de-
post made with them, and be paid the
balance, and their liabilities to the United
States under the deposit act be thus eX-
tinOuished

bell a spread OF the rails about sixty feet
from the approach to the bridge occurred
$50 feet long. The engine left the track,
but crossed the bridge on the ties, iolting

smoking car, day.coach, and sleeper are all

thirty persons injured. The special train
brought nine OF the wounded TO this city.
A number OF other passengers received
painful cuts and bruises. An examination
indicates that the wreckers drew out the

barbed wire In the holes, and pulled the
rails apart when the train approached.
