MAYOR GRANTS DETERMINATION

NEW YORK, April 24.-Broadway, from
Twenty-third to Thrty-third street, il
now entirely cleared of poles, the last fire
department poles having been removed
this morning by Foreman Clancy. of the
| department. His gang is now AT work on
Broadway, between Thirty-third and
| Forty-second streets At various points
along Broadway the United States Elec-
trio Lighting company and the Manhat-
ton companies have gangs at work making
connections at the subway manholes.
Mayor Grant this morning sent the fol-
lowing letter:
NEW YORK, April 23-To Hon. D. Lo-
Der Smith, Commissioner of Public Works:
SIR-Iou are hereby directed to remove
forthwith from Broadway, beginning at
Park place, all the poles and wires of tele-
graph and telephone companies to Four
teenth street, and from Fourteenth street
TO Eighteenth street all poles and wires,
except the poles and wires of the fire de-
partment. Respectfully.
HUGH J. GRANT,
Mayor and President of the Board of
Electric Control"
This settles the question as to whether
the wires go under ground or not. for it is
plain TO be seen that Mayor Grant means
business and viii not let up until the city
is completely cleared of the poles and wires
along the subways.
The new route of destruction as Laid out
in the order, will create havoc in the tele-
graph companies, and especially the Wes-
tern Union. They have important offices
along this route, and there is no doubt but
that the subway commissioners will take
great pleasure in shipping their cables.
1t will be noticed also that the electric
light wires and poles are not mentioned in
the order This is because the subways
are not yet prepared for their reception.
and, unfortunately, they VIII De allowed

NOMORE BOODl WANTED

| OTTAWA, Ont, April 24.-Prof. Weldon's
eXtradition bill came up in the lower
honse of parliament for final reading to-
| day. Mr.. Weldon pointed ont that in view
OF Canada's peculiar geographical position
the necessity for change IN the existing
treaty, nearly fifty years old, was urgent
He referred with regret to the rejection by
the United States senate of the bill nego-
tlated by Minister Phelps some
years ago. Canada, he declared
was therefore compelled to seek re-
lief from the present system. The border
counties OF the dominion were haunted by
American criminals. In addition the bill
would cover the case Of American bood-
lers, who came north to fiaunt their i'll
gotten gains, thus corrupting the morals
OF Canadian business men. What he
wanted was statute rather than a treaty
by which Canada could show her willing
ness to deliver up fugitives from justice.
He referred to the famous Winslow extra
dltlon treaty OF twelve years ago, when
the relations between England and the
United States were strained. He appealed
to the house to support the bill for patri-
otto motives. The measure, he explained
would be applied to all countries whether
Canada had an extradition treaty with
them or not.
Hon. l.. H. Davis though supporting the
principle of the bill, said he felt the meas
ure would not cover commercial offenses
Mr.. Skinner hnld that the measure was
crude and that Canada could not success
fully accomplish by statute what had all
along and everywhere been done by treaty.
Hon. l.. II. Davis, Colonel Denison and
Mr.. Curran referred to the retroactive
character of the bill and said there was
danger of political offenders being sur
rendered on bogus criminal charges.
The bill was then read third time and
passed

SALISBURY AL BRISTOL


LONDON. April 24.-Lord Salisbury de-
livered an address at Bristol today. He
spoke OF the growth of the Primrose league.
which, he said, was marvellous. The
league, he declared, was of transcendental
value in the case of any pending political
question, as it was a noble instruments
with which to blend the classes and the
masses. He hoped that ere long
the government would settle the
troubles which were menacinp
the internal peace OF the
nation. The government was confronted
with combination OF political opposition
with predatory greed, such as no govern
ment had ever faced before. The govern
ment relied upon the continued confidence
OF the country to enable IL To overcome
this combination. Continuing, Lord
Salisbury ridiculed the agitation in favor
OF home rule in Ireland. He declared that
the county of Cornwall, by its distinct
racial origin, its language. its tradition
and It's history, had as much claim for a
separate parliament as Ireland The
nationality argument was insincere 10
was more fruitful OF sophistry and
clap-trap and more barren OF solid
sense than anything that was ever before
the country. 1t would sacrifice the firS
interest OF Industry and commerce to q

QUIET AT GUTHRIE.

KANSAS CITY, April PA Times special
from Guthrie reports no new developments
In the situation there today The topic
which is most generally discussed is the
vexatious question as to location of streets
and lots. A new survey will have to be
made and endless litigation doubtless re-
suit. Meanwhile the real estate market is
rather dull as purchasers are chary about
acquiring property of dubious title
The order of the city is almost perfect
and is surprising to the large majority
who pred .cted violent scenes. Rumors OF
bloodshed have been numerous and many
OF them have found their way into print,
but not single rumor has been confirmed
yet and it is believed there has not been q
murder committed.
The land office was crowded all day and
did a rushing business from s a. M to 4 D.

CHINA AND SWEDEN,
Reports Of the United States Ministers to
Those Countries.

| WASHINGTON, April 24.-Mr. Charles
DENLY, the United States minister tc
| China, III report to the department OF
| state, says the system of taxation in China
| presents some decided contrasts to systems
| in other countries. Taxes, outside of Pc
king, are paid on arabic land only, the tax
varying with the crop-producing quality
of the soil. Inside the city of Peking there
is no tax on land, houses or personal
property. Goods brought to the city gates
pay a tax but are exempt from
taxation afterwards. The only tax on land
and houses in Peking is on the sale of real
estate, 10 per cent being charged on the
price obtained for the property sold.
There is also tax resembling
license fees. Outside of Picking, Chinese
subjects are liable to be called on to per-
form certain duties whenever the emperor
passes through their districts, but this du-
ty may be avoided by the payment of a
small tax. All moneys spent on public
account in Peking come from the Imperial
treasury, and the expenditure is not limit
ed to funds raised by taxation within the
city. The bulk of the people in Picking
pay no taxes whatever. The man
who owns his house and lot and his i'm
PIGMENTS of labor enjoys his earnings.
The minister closes his report with the
Following comment on Chinese taxation,
as contraSted with the system of taxation
in the United States: 'How different this
condition is from that in our own country
where sometimes 3 per cent of the high
valuation is exacted for public purposes
TO the absence of taxation of the body of
the people may well be ascribed the per-
manence of the government and the tran
guilty and Contentment of the Chinese
race. The lesson of taxation in China
might be profitably studied by the civilized
world but in view of national state,
county, township and city indebtedness
piled mountain high the lesson must now
be valueless to the United States.'

THE BEsSEMeR STEEL STRIKE.

| PITTSBURG, Pa, April 2A-The arrival
| this morning Of eighteen colored non.
union men at the Allegheny Bessemer
Steel works at Duquesne, where a strike
for an increase of wages is now in pro-
gress, created considerable excitement.
About 200 OF the strikers had assembled
about the gate leading to the works, and
when the colored men marched up q num-
Der of the strikers pulled their revolvers
and threatened death to any who entered.
They seemed In earnest, and after parley
OF nearly an hour, during which threats
OF violence to black eap" work
men were made, the n6n-union men agreed
70 return to the city and not go to work. A
subscription to pay their fare back was
raised and they returned to Pittsburg on
the next train. The big plant is still idle,
the attempt TO resume today having been
abandoned. The strikers keep off the COM
pany property bnt get as close to the-Iine
as possible. AS both sides appear firm a
long struggle is expected.
Another squad of twenty colored
men went to Duquesne tonight and
succeeded in getting inside of
the works without being modest
ed. As soon as they entered, however. the
few white men still at work, including the
bosses, left the mill and refused to 90
back as long as the colored men remained.
About Z o'clock this evening Superin-
tendent Treat addressed the strikers
and told them that if they promised
not to modest the colored men thew
would be sent back to the city. This
the strikers agreed to do and the
negroes marched to the station amid
cheers. The mill owners notified Sher-
III McAndless that they would hold the
county responsible for any damage done
in case Of riot. The sheriff addressed
the strikers and the leaders promised TO
commit no overt act
The wives and daughters of the strikers
are taking prominent part in the strike
