POOR NOT TO BE TAXED MORE.

BERLIN, July Sat todays session Of the
reichstag Hsrr Groeber, centrist, who in the
last reichstag voted in opposition to the army
ou,spoke against the new measure in the name
OF the centre party. The centrists, he declared,
we're firmly opposed to the bill, and all the
newiy-elected representatives Of the party were
pledged against It From u military point Of
view the bill was needless, and from an eco
nom!cai standpoint 1t was ruinous. 1t would
be better for the government to enter into An
organic federation with Austria than to in
crease the army superfuously. The present
government game to secure . mousetrap ma
jority was an undignifed one. Doubtless. II
the house knew how the government intended
TO cover the extra cost involved BY the meas
ure 1t would not be able to find majority.
IMPOSING CONDITIONS ON THE GOVERNMENT.
Herr Boeckel. anti-Semite, said that the MEM
bers Of that party would vote for the bill only
on the condition that the costs be covered by
anti-Semite support Chancellor Won Caprivi
must declare that the government would not
increase the indirect food tax.
Herr Boeckel declared that the anti-Semites
would strive to abolish the possibility Of heap
ing up enormous fortunes like those possessed
by the Rothschilds and Bleickroeders. He
added that the present bill must be the abso-
lutte conclusion Of the increase Of the army II
it were not emigration from Germany would
increase.
Chancellor Won Caprivi reiterated the
statement he made yesterday that at
present it was impossible to give the
details OF the financial plan to cover
the increased expenditure that would be
incurred through granting the governments
demands. He asked Herr Boeckel to trust to
the governments honesty and promised to re-
heve the weaker shoulders Of the burden Of in
creased taxation. Only the well-to-do, he said,
would be called upon to pay the new taxea

A Guafemaian Inventor Breaks Faith with

San FRAScrsco, July s.-President Barrios,
dictator o; Guatemala, has declared @. SAINTS
lana, q young Guatemalan inventor, Q traitor
to that republic, and death awaits him should
he fall into the clutches Of Barrios.
Santalana is now believed 10 be in hiding I'm

an American patent on an ingenious device for
measuring the distance across canyons or
other impossible places. He called his
device telemeter, and BArrios fur

patent, foreseeing that there would be money
In the venture. The inventor obtained his pat
ent, but instead Of securing Il in the name OF
Barrios and the Guatemalan government, as be
was instructed, he took out the patent per-
sonally, and then sold it for a good lump sum
to the Salvadorean consul at this port
Barrios had expected to send santalana TO
Europe to foat his invention, and while the
young inventor here Barrios furnished
coin for his entertainment at leading hotel.
Hence his wrath over Ssntalana's treachery and
his threat to have him shot should he ever ven-

NO CONVICT LABOR.

Supervising Architect O'Rourke has decided
that convict labor shall not be employed on the
construction of buildings coming under his
Jurisdiction. In every advertisement for bids
published by him will be found . clause
that no proposition will be entertained
from a man using convict labor. and that no
product Of convict labor shall 60 into the build
Ing This has been his custom since accession
to his office. Speaking on this subject, Mr..
O'Rourke says;
II have done merely what consider to be
my plain duty. do not see how any honest
man can look at the question from another
standpoint. I do not believe in subjecting
honest labor to competition with dishonest
labor. II Is not fair.
There is nothing in the law which saws that
convict labor shall be employed: nothing re-
guiring me to receive bids from men using con-
victs; therefore, l consider that action in the
matter is left entirely to my discretion, and SO
long as it is I will not allow the use Of convict
labor or convict material"

Liquor Dealers Much Pleased at Judge
Hudson's Decision.

CHARLESTON, s. C., July s.-There are no
developments today in the whisky legislation.
Old dealers are much encouraged by Judge
Hudson's decision at Darlington that the dis
pensary act is unconstitutional, for the reason
by taking business away from individuals the
state has created a monopoly for itself.
incidentally Judge Hudson decided that rail.
roads are not prohibited from bringing whisky
into the state from outside states; that when
the sale of liquor is prohibited by state law
citizen cannot sell it, but if it is his property
railroads can deliver il 20 him.
Judge Hudson further decided that a dis
pensary couldn't be opened at Darlington be-
cause the person named dispenser bsd been
illegally appointed. not having obtained ma
iority of freehold voters of the town 40
required by the law. Judge Hudson be-
longs to the anti nllmsn faction OF the demo-
cratic party in this state, but is noted for his
fearless and bipartisan conduct on the bench.
