opeclal 10 the kECORD-UNION.
WASHINGTON, March 5.-The Bureau
of American Republics is informed that
the President of the Argentine Republic
has recommended to Congress several
radical revenue laws which have created
bitter enmity against the administration
i'll commercial circles.
The President, in his message, holds
that such measures are absolutely neces-
sary to maintain the credit of the Govern
ment, and asks their Endorsement by
Congress, but Congress has not yet rati-
he'd the suggestion. He proposed first to
impose an export duty of five per cent.
ad valorem upon animal oil, horns,
Jerked beef, bone ash, horse hair, hides
and skins, bones, wool, tallow and ostrich
feathers, which constitute the great bulk
OF exports of the Argentine Republic.
He also proposed to materially increase
the import tariff, and proposed license
on vessels under foreign flag in coast
trade.
Another decree recommends license
tax of $4,000 on foreign insurance COM
panies, and requires a deposit OF SIO0, 900
as guarantee before they may be al
lowed TO continue business. 1t further
lequitSS loIeiSu insurance companies to
pay tax OF z per cent. on the premiums
received from policies insured in the Ar
gentine Republic.
This course will seriously affect num-
Der of life and fire insurance companies
of the United States, which have branches
in the Argentine Republic.
The same decree imposes a tax of 2
per cent. ON gold and paper deposits of
private banks, which win greatly dam
age the general business OF English,
French, German and italian banks now
established in the Argentine Republic,
with capital exceeding S75,000,000 of
gold.
A similar decree requires all taxes,
custom duties and licenses to be paid in
gold.

CHICAGO, March 5.-The Daalu Neaps,
Springfield, Ohio, says: A sensation was
caused over the desertion by Cooke Far
mum, the nephew of Justice Lamar, of
Miss Emma Layton, his intended bride.
Last week Cooke Farnum of Borax
Lake, Cal, went to Columbus, Ohio, to
marry Miss Emma A. Layton of Wa
verify. The wedding was to have
taken place yesterday, but at the
hour appointed Farnum did not put
in an appearance, and this evening
Miss Layton received letter from him,
postmarked Springfield, in which he
announced that he intended to commit
suicide.
Farnum was for six years in the navy,
serving part if not all of the time on the
Alert. He is quite wealthy, and, besides
being interested in the borax works,
owns several oil wells in Southern Cali
fornia.
Last Sunday he visited Miss Layton,
and the same time her employer, an old
friend, called to bid her good-by. As he
was about to leave she kissed him before
her lover. Farnum remarked at the time
that he did not consider that proper. In
his letter he tells Miss Layton that in his
opinion she loves her employer better
than himself.

Another J. Wilkes Booth Story.

CHICAGO, March 5.-A morning paper
says: 1t is generally believed by the
people of Atlanta, Ga, that Rev. J. G..
Armstrong, who recently died in that
city, was J. Wilkes Booth. Two old and
and well-informed citizens OF the Georgia
capital are stopping at the Grand Pacific,
and they declare the people of Atlanta
will not believe otherwise than that the
late pastor was the assassin of President
Lincoln. His resemblance to Booth
was remarkable declared one of the
gentleman, who said she even had gun
shot wound on his leg and scar on his
neck. 1t is rumored since the mans
death that he committed suicide and the
Coroner will be called upon to hold an
inquest. In case OF such an event an
effort will be made to find some of the
mans private papers.

Ceur d,Alene Reserratlon Lands.

SPOKANE FALLS (Wash.), March o.
The passage of the bill opening the Coeur
dAlene reservation to settlement has
created stampede almost equal to the
Oklahoma craze. For several months
large numbers of people have been
camped along the borders of the reserva-
ton, and fully two thousand men have
poured into Post Falls and Cuur d'Alene
City, which are on the border of the reser-
vation, during the past two days. More
settlers are coming in by every train.
They are waiting for the President to issue
the proclamation, and then trouble is ex-
pected, as some of the Indians will object
to giving up their land.

CLIFTON (Ariz.), March Sit is esti-
| mated that 100000 worth of damage was
done by the late floods. The principal
destruction of property consisted of the
homes of laborers, the dam and fiume of
the Arizona Copper Company, tho pumps
OF the Copper King Company. tho dam of
the Detroit Copper Company, the ap-
proaches and New Mexico Railway
bridge across the river, and the iron
bridge at Guthrie across the CHA, tho

Fargo & Co.'s safe, containing books and
other matter.
The business portion of town was dam
aged little, though many structures used
as abodes are gone or damaged beyond
repair. There was no insurance. The
loss is severe on the poor people, as they
lost their ALL. The Arizona Copper Com
pany and the A. and n. Railroad Com
pany are the heaviest losers.
Inree to four hundred men are working
on the road and repairing the bridges. 1t
Will be two weeks before train goes
through. The transfer of mail and ex-
press and supplies will be made in few
days.
There was no storm here, but the light
warm rains and south winds caused q
thaw of snow in the mountains north.
The telegraph line (which was buried
for three miles in Y York's Canyon, has just
been put up at Guthrie.
Three suspension bridges on the San
francisco River at Clifton We're swept
away. Under where the North Clifton
bridge stood it is now terra firma. The
channel shifted to the base of the noun
tain on the east side.
The population of Clifton was up all
night of the I'D, all apprehending the
worst yet. A spirit of grim good nature
prevailed, and as the property became
endangered all joined to save it. Only
one case of pillage was reported. No one

abortiye. The mention of Gladstone's or
McCarthy's name by Parnell during the

voice. One time it looked as if he would
be unable to proceed in the tempest of
cheers and Misses, counter cheers and
groans. The morning papers say it is
evident that Parnell has lost his hold in
London, and ridicule his attempt last
