"A New Complication in the Coupons
for Taxes Cases,

RICHMOND, VA. Oct. SIT has leaked
out that S. q. Tinsey, Treasurer of the
city of Richmond, has informed the Audi
tor of the State that he will not levy for
taxes on the property of those who offer
him consol coupons of the State in paw
ment OF the same, although the Indemnity
Board Is authorized to reimburse him
for any loss that may arise
from such refusal if suits be
instituted under the decisions OF the
United States courts for trespass. 1t Is
understood that the Auditor is in no good
humor on account of this position of Mr..
TInsley, but the latter argues that these
suits, II begun, may last for years and that
the Legislature may repeal the law Great
ing the indemnity board and leave him
and his bondsmen subject to the mercy of
new laws, court decisions and juries.
Mr.. Tinsley taxes business view of the
matter, and the bondsmen of many other
treasurers will no doubt now inquire into
the contingencies OF the situation.

KEY WEST, FLA, Oct. S.-Havana ad-
vices by steamer to-day state that the
cigarmakers' strike there, which has con-
tnued seven weeks, will probably assume
a very serious aspect before settlement
is reached. The strike originated and
was confined until Monday to factories
working partldo orlnferlor tobacco, but in
consequence of no settlement be-
ing reached, at an immense joint
meeting of the manufacturers
and the operatives held last SUNDAY at
the Abba theatre, the manufacturers Of
Vuelta AbajO tobacco joined issue with
the Others and closed their estabhs shments
il order to prevent their operatives con-
trlOutlng toward the support OF the strik-
ers, The strike has extended to the inte-
rlor towns. IL is estimated that 10000
persons throughout the island are idle,
and considerable distress prevails among
tdem. The rough element, taking advan-
tage of the general excitement, is COM
mitting depredations. Highway rob-
berries and assassinations occur daily. A
riot has been apprehended several days
By the authorities of Havana, who have
taken precautions to keep all the available
civil guards under arms, while mounted
police patrol the city prepared for any
emergency. The following cablegrNm
was received last night via Havana by the
President of the Cigar Makers Union:
THE cigar makers and strippers OF San
tiagO de Las Vegas are out of employ
ment and destitute. Ei9ht hundred men
and 800 women are without bread for

NEW YORK, Oct. 8.-A consultation OF
Western Union directors was held this
afternoon in the Western Union building.
After Its close Russell Sage stated that at
the annual election to be held Wednes-
day next there would be several new
names placed on the directors ticket,
among them that OF Austin Corbin. Mr..
Sage SAYS that this change does not indi-
cate a change in the policy of the COM
pany, nor is it suggestive of a compro
mise, but Is simply due to his prominence
as a railroad man. On the "sJreet,"
however, 1T is generally believed that the
changes mean that the Drexel- Morgan
interest is to dominate in the com mpany's
affairs. The directors emphatically deny

The bill differs from Mr.. Glad
stones bill chiefly in the
omission Of the provisions for a IegisIa-
tive body at Dublin. With this exec option
the bill fully meets the aspirations OF the
Home Rulers In regard to transferring to
local bodies the direction OF irish AFFAIRS
now dealt with at Westm n ster. The
government has secured for this bill
hearty support OF Lord Harrington and
Mr.. Cham berlain. Mr.. Gladstone was
not consulted in the matter"
CHAMBERLAIN THE AUTHOR.
The News expresses the belief that Mr..
Chamberlain Is the real author OF the
scheme, and that the ParneIlites will re-
ject the bill with contempt. Commenting
editOrially on this bill, the News saws
1.-The government are sanguIne that they
can carry the bill. IL is possible that
many Liberals will support the measure
as welcome installment. If the DILL
passes all the world will know that Ire
land owes It to Mr.. Gladstone's bold initia-
tive, and to that alone"

that every time his pencil has been brok-

and simply say in tones that admitted of

Having used the knife, Mr.. Young would
return it without a word. He did this so
frequently that the employe became tired
of his brief but imperious demand. The
other day Mr.. Young again approached
him and said:

ity, replied:
Haven't any"
Mr.. Young walked away without a word
but after an interval of three DAYS he ap-
preached the employe, and handing him a
