COUNTY TAXES ON RAILROADS.
The Constitutionality of the Glenn Bill
to Be Decided This Week.

The Constitutionality of the Glenn Bill
to Be Decided This Week.
ATLANTA, GA. March 6.-The decision
of the supreme court on the constitutional
ity of the Glenn bill, which will probably
be rendered early this week, is being
watched with great interest. The question
is this: Mr.. Glenn, member of the legis-
lature, introduced-a bill requiring railroads
to pay taxes on the property they own in
each county to the county in which the
property is located. This includes track.
deDots, etc. Heretofore this property has
either escaped taxation or the taxes were
paid to the state. Under the Glenn
law, Fulton county would receive $50 900
per annum, which shows bow important
is the decision to the various counties. The
railroads say the bill is not uniform and
does not effect all roads alike, hence they
contest the question. The decision involves
$500,000 or more and will settle principle
OF taxation by which the counties of the
state will be largely benefited. The case
has been argued in the supreme court, but a
rehearing was ordered. II was had two
weeks ago and now the decision is daily ex-
pected.
Another important railroad case that is
expected to be decided this week is that of
the Georgia, Carolina and Northern rail-
road against the Georgia railroad, which in
wolves the validity of the charters of all
railroads in the state operating under char
ters granted since the enforcement of the
general railroad law.

They Ask the President to Issue a
Proclamation.
WASHINGTON, March 6.-The leading
Mormons Of Utah have transmitted to the
President, through Delegate Caine, a for
NAL request that he will issue proclama-
tion of general amnesty to all convicted
or indicted polygamists. Many Mormons,
including some of the leaders, are still in
prison or in exile or excluded from civil
rights under the anti-polygamy laws and
they now desire restoration TO home citizen
ship. In their memorial to the President
they allege that polygamy is dead and
that there is therefore no good
reason why the polygamists should
be further punished. A question
having been raised as to the Presidents
power to issue such proclamation with
out being authorized by congress to do so,
it Is understood that the Mormons have
cited the President to the examples of
Washington (after the whisky instruction, }
jefferson, Madison and Andrew Johnson,
the latter's amnesty proclamation having
been sustained thrice by the supreme court.

Proceedings Abandoned.
WASHINGTON, March 6.-Some Of the
members Of the whisky trust are also
members Of the Republican party who
have in the past contributed time
and money and effort TO elect Har-
rison and Morton and other re-
publican candidates. Ever since the At
torney General directed the prosecution of
the whisky trust these men have been try
ing to stay his hand. Through senators
and representatives, and even through at
least one member of the cabinet, they have
appealed both to the Attorney General, and
over his head, to the President, for the
abandonment of the proceedings, claim
ing. OF course, not only that their
services to the Republican party, past,
present and to come. entitled them 20 con-
sideration, but that they were innocent any
way. 1t was their first offense and they
could prove an alibi. But so far neither
appeals, reminders nor threats have moved
either the Attorney General or the rresi-
dent, and there is no reason to believe that
they will be moved even by the strong
pressure now being applied.

SILVER AND THE TARIFF.
THEY WILL BE THE FEATURES OF
CONGRESS THIS WEEK.

The Contest over Free Coinage 10
Begin in the House To-day over the
Adoption of the Report of the Com
mittee on Rules-The Appropriation
Bills to be Pushed.
WASHINGTON, March 6.-Silver and the
tariff are to be the leading features in the
programme Of the congressional proceed
ings this week. The contest over the FREQ
silver question will begin in the House to,
morrow, when the anti-silver democrats
will oppose the adoption of the report Of
the rules committee making the Bland bill
a special order for a specified period, The
opponents Of free coinage on the demo-
cratic side have vigorously, but vainly,
urged the republican minority to join with
them in opposing consideration Of the bill,
and such pronounced anti-free coinage
democrats as Messrs. Andrews OF Massa-
chusetts and Harter of Ohio now concur
that the special order will almost certainly
be adopted. Anti-free coinage men say,
however, that this is but the beginning
Of the fight in the House aud
that they will use every possible means to
defeat the passage Of the bill itself. There
has been some discussion Of proposition to
amend the special order of the rules COM
mittee by fixing the time at which the vote
shall be taken, but the PROPOSE
ton has been discouraged. Although
filibustering against the silver order
is not unlikely, il is believed that
this can be quickly checked IL attempted,
and that the order will be adopted without
the consumption OF much time.
TO PUSH THE APPROPRIATION BILLS.
The leaders Of the House are anxious 10
secure speedy action on the appropriation
bills, and TO have all these measures now
pending in the House passed before
discussion OF the tariff is entered
upon. For this reason Monday
will not be devoted exclusively to the silver
order and to the usual grist Of comparative
~ small measures considered on 'suspen-
Sion Mondays" An opportunity perhaps
may be afforded to pass one or two bills un.
der suspension of the rules, but 1t is the
present purpose to devote the greater part
OF the day TO the pension appropriation bill
and the army appropriation bill in order to
clear the decks for the tariff debate.
Mr.. McMillin of Tennessee will open the
tariff discussion on Tuesday, If no deviation
be made from the programme on account
OF the army appropriation bill. Other
speakers will follow Mr.. McMillin in rapid
succession and the whole of the week will
be occupied with the tariff debates, except
that Saturday afternoon, In accordance
with an order OF the Hoese, will be devoted
to eulogies on the late Representative
Gamble of South Dakota

The attending physicians held consulta-

John A. Vincent Of Springfield, Mr. Spring.

the Associated Press to the effect that there
is no occasion for immediate alarm. Mr..
Springer is worse to-day, but that does not
necessarily mean that fatal result must
ensue There is increased development Of cry
sipeias on his face, attended by delirunl

while OF course matter Of gravity, is not
necessarily alarming. IL only shows that
there.is not sufficient vitality to resist the
ravages of the disease. 1t shows low vitality
and lack of physical vigor. The erysipelas
