further discoveries, geological and eth
biological studies are the objects of the
trip. Mrs. Peary has not decided
whether she will go or not

the same as for the last expeditions in

struments for surveying. The cost of

ANNIsoN, Ala, Feb. 9.-James Brown,
of Lincoln, and jeff and Dick Harrison
of Rome have been arrested and jailed
here on charge of robbing the express
and mail car of the East Tennessee
Virginia and Georgia railway, near
Piedmont, on October 81. Brown, who
was captured first, and Dick Harrison,
who was arrested later, have confessed.
These arrests complicate matters, as a
man named Dick Roper has already
been convicted at a preliminary trial on
his own sworn confession of having
been one of the three men who held up
the train. Roper's story lacks corrobor-
alton, and he will probably be released
The amount secured by the robbers was
about 5000,

The Three Months Quarantine ordered
by President Harrison based on tlie
Action of England.
OTTAWA, Ont, Feb. 9.-The an
nouncement from Washington that Ca
madam cattle are to be scheduled by the
United States caused no little excite
ment among the governments follow
ers, who now begin to realize that Pres
ident Harrison's threats against Canada
are not all assertions, and that the out
going president is determined to retail
ate upon the dominion government for
its unfriendly policy. The majority OF
the politicians agree that the blow
which has now fallen upon Canada is
second only in its disastrous effects tc
the Mckinley bill, for the Washington
government has by this step absolutely
placed the Canadian farmer in a posi-
ton of most serious disadvantage.
The minister OF agriculture, Mr.
Anglers, had not seen the dispatch until
it was read to him, and it was not for
a minute or so that he understood its
full purport When the paragraph Civ
ing the ground for the action as the
Scheduling of Canadian cattle In Great
Britain, because pleuro-pneumonia ex'
listed in Canada" was read, the minister
exclaimed: ooh, how like the Yankee!
Why, there is not cargo of American
cattle shipped to the other side which
has not one or more cases of disease on
the vessel"
Upon the final paragraph, establish
ing the ninety days quarantine at Buff
falo, being read, Mr. Anglers said: "Oh,
that is serious, but it does not surprise
me-nothing that the Yankees would
do would sut-nrise me now

The Old Question Comes Up in
South Carolina,
And This Time the Clash Is Over
Railway Taxes.
A Conflict Between state and Federal Au-
fhorities If the sheriffs of Various Conn-
a ties Attempt to Levy on Railway
Property by tho Governors Order.

CHARLESTON, S. c., Feb. 9.-Proceed-
ings were begun in the U. $. court
here Tuesday which threaten to
bring about conflict between the state
and federal authorities If the sheriffs
of various counties attempt to carry
out the orders of Gov Tillman to levy
on the railroad property for taxes now
in dispute On Saturday a freight train
on the South Carolina railway was seiz-
ed at Aiken and chained to the track.
There were fourteen freight cars Eight
of them were loaded to the value OF
about sl1, 200. The amount of taxes
claimed by the state is not over 81, 900
The road is In the hands of ID. f. Cham.

Receiver Chambcrlain's petition to
the court, filed Tuesday, claims that the
taxes, according to legal assessments,
have been paid, and that the balance
claimed by the state, about IS, 900, is

court; that the seizure and sale of the
property would put a stop to the bust

of the court, and the court should pro-
tect its property and not permit the ex-
action of the illegal tax so declared by
the court in March, in S92.
Upon hearing the petition Judge ST.
monitor signed this order:
''lt appearing by the petition that
certain personal property alleged TO be
in custody of the court, and in the
hands or under control of the receiver
duly appointed. has been seized by and
under an execution for taxes alleged to
be unlawful, and not due or payable it
is ordered that M. c. Mitchell and M.
V. Tyler, treasurer and sheriff OF Aiken
county, show cause at Charleston, on
February 20, why they should not be
attached and punished for contempt of
court; also, why they should not be en-
Joined and restrained from interfering
with any or all the property of the
South Carolina railway. In the mean
time temporary injunction is granted
restraining the officials from levying
upon the property in question"
Similar writs were issued at the suit
of the Richmond and Danville railroad,
citing the sheriffs and treasurers of
Abbevilie, Anderson and Newberry
counties for contempt, the rule in these
latter cases being made returnab1e
at Greenville March s. A detachment
of q. S. Deputy marshals were sent out
on the train Tuesday afternoon to serve
the papers. In all these cases the rail-
roads have paid the taxes based on the
original assessment of the property.
The county auditors, however, raised
these assessments, it is claimed, arb-
trarily and illegally, and the courts so
decided
The governors orders to the treasur-
ers and sheriffs are to go ahead with
the executions peremptorily. The in
tervention of the federal courts will
probably produce something of an ex-
citing clash of authority.
