pointed receiver. The motion was
granted and the court declared that the

M'KiNLEY's MESSAGE.
The Ohio Governor Talks of Economy and
the Taxes.

Columbus, Ohio, January l. Governor
McKinley's message opens with a
reference to the prolonged Industrial de-
preston from which he says there is
no prospect of Immediate relief. "a short
session and little legislation" says he,
would be appreciated in time like
this" If the burden of taxation were
made to rest equally upon all property,
he says. there would be no occasion in
Ohio to complain that it was grievous
burden. Intangible property in this
state, he declares, almost wholly escapes
taxation. One class of property should
not escape taxatioff at the expense of
other property. Tax laws should not be
framed to confiscate. property or to drive
capital from the state. The Governor
closes as follows: "The party charged
with the legislation Of the state has had
,mmitted to it great trust for the
faithful execution of which it will be
should keep the expenses safely within.
the revenues. There should be no in
crease in the rates Of taxation which
cannot be we'll avoided in the absence of
the most prudent economy. If the
majority party of the general assembly
shall administer it's responsible duties
with honesty and fidelity, and economy,
and use it's great power only for the
general good, as l confidently believe it
can be relied upon to do, it will further
demonstrate it's fitness for public trust
and receive the continued confidence of
the people"

HOW ABOUT THE RESOLUTIONS
The British Admiralty Not Anxious Te
Tell of the Warship's Experience.

London, January 1.-The matter of
the warship Resolution, damaged in a
gale in the Bay of Biscay, now at Devon
port, repairing, was again brought up in
the House of Commons today by Messrs.
Bowles and Forwood. who desired infor-
nation as to the facts in the case. The
parliamentary secretary Of the admiral
ty, said the essence of the facts as to
the behavior of the Resolu
tion was already before the House. The
captains report to the admiralty was to
the effect that she put back to Queens
town in the exercise of his discretion.
The main reason for his putting back
was anxiety in regard to the supply of
coal. No injury was done to the struc-
ture of the ship and the damage she sus-
tanned was not sufficient to render her
return to Queenstown necessary, as all
repairs that she required might be made
in Gibraltar In deciding to return. the
captain reasoned that if the gale contin-
ued, his coal would not hold out until he
got to Gibraltar. Tho secretary said he
declined to publish the admiralty re-
ports. (Cries of ''Hear, Hearty The sec
retary concluded by asking the House if
any useful purpose was served by per-
sistently repeating such questions as
those asked by Messrs. Bowles and For
wood.
Mr.. Bowles replied that good pur-
pose would certainly be served. He was
prepared for a full answer to the ques-
tions.
The secretary said the statements as to
the amount of water shipped were ex-
aggerated. The ship had been kept head
on to the sea in order to diminish the roll
ing. Mr.. Bowles urged that full replies
be made.
Robert Hanbury. Independent Conser-
vative. asked: "Does, the secretary to the
admiralty think it for the public,interest
that he should not furnish details in re-
gard to the resolution?''
This question was greeted with cheers
by the Conservatives. and tho speaker
was at last compelled to call the House
to order.

The Flames Broke Out at a. m.
Boston, January 2, 2.30 a. m.-Four
fire alarms in quick succession from the
special box attached to the Globe Thea
tre soon after O'Clock, caused great ex-
citement all over the city. The fire orig
mated in the cloak room of the theatre,
in some, at present, unexplainable man
ner. 1t spread rapidly. The entrance
and lobby of the theatre are in the mid
die OF large block, bounded by Wash
ington and Essex streets, Harrison ave-
nue. extension and Hayward place. At
the corner of Washington street and
Hayward place is large six-story build
ing, just completed and not occupied.
On the south side Of the theatre en-
trance are large buildings occupied by
Robert 7. Almy & Co., clothiers, Bryant
& Stratton commercial college, and vari-
Gus other tenants. In the rear of these
buildings, and extending to the Harrison
avenue extension, Is the theatre proper.
Before the third alarm was given, the
mass of flames. Soon after the
fourth alarm, the flames burst
through the Washington street
front of the theatre entrance and rapidly
destroyed it. Occasionally the flames in
the interior came in contact with a
calcium or gas tank and an explosion
would occur. Cinders fell thickly upon
the surrounding buildings threatening
them and until $50 it was feared the fire
would sweep across Hayward place, but
at this hour it is thought the fire can be
kept within the limits of the block in
which it originated. The theatre is
practi cally ruined and the backs of the
buildings facing Washington street are
partially burned. Hanlon Bros
"Superba" was occupying the house.
Their properties were saved with great
difficulty.
The building on the corner of Wash
ington and Hayward place is owned by
the Harvard college trustees. The fire is
still burning fierceiy. No accidents are
reported. 1t is impossible to estimate
the losses. John Stetson is the owner
and manager of the theatre.
3a.m.-At 2. Is the fire was under con
| troll. The total loss is roughly estimated
at $500, 900, Of which the greatest part is
on the theatre. The Hanlons, it is now
said,, did not save their properties, and
| their loss is said to be 500, 900.

A CHANCE FOR THE MARYs.
Money Wanted to Complete the Mar,
Washington Monument.

Washington, January IAN appeal to
the patriotic women Of America has been
issued by the National Mary Washington
Monument Association, sof which Mrs.
M. Waite is president. 1t says: "The
Mary Washington Monument Associa-
tion, the working force of which is COM
posed entirely of women, has just COM.
pleted too-long delayed work, that of
erecting a suitable memorial to the
mother of Washington. This n onument
is to be the finest Of its kind in the
whole country. 1t stands upon rock
near Mary Washington's home at Fred
ericksburg, Va. There her remains have
reposed for over q century with only the
ruins of an unfinished monument begun
and abandoned fifty years ago, to mark
the spot. The National Mary Washing
ton Memorial Association was organized
in. 1889 to end this shameful neglect of
the memory of one who is revered as
the foremost of American women. 1t has
worked hard, collected money and
secured the erection Of the monument,
which is the FIRST instance in history
of monument erected by women to the
memory of woman"
An appeal is then made for additional
funds, $4,000 being needed to make the
last payment on the monument and
fence, grade and otherwise put in proper
order the plot of ground upon which
the monument stands, and as an endow-
ment fund or it's future care. The
memorial, in conclusion, says: "If every
one bearing the name of Mary would
send z6 cents, how soon the money could
be raised. Contributions may bessent to
the general treasuer, E. F. Riggs, Riggs
Bank. or the president of the association,
Mrs. M. r. Waite, Washington"
The Income Tax.
Washing ton, January la majority
of mem bers of the ways and means COM
mittee met this evening sat thestreasury
department. and had a long conference
on the income tax question. Nothing
definite was determined upon. The COM
mittee will hold another meeting tomor.
row afternoon at four, when it is ex-
pected a final conclusion will be reached.
All of the members of the majority were
present except Mr.. Bynpm, who is CON
fined to the house by illness. Some Of
the Democrats in the House and senate
who oppose the income tax have sue-
gested the advisability of raising the
revenue which would accrue from in
comes by the restoration of the tax on
sugar, not exceeding one cent per pound.
This suggestion the COMMITTEES is not
likely to regard favorably From data
at hand the committee learn that the
consumption of sugar in this country
since the duty was removed has increased
from 10 to Is cents per pound per capita.
This increase comes almost entirely from
the use of sugar in the fruit industry,
which has received a great stimulus
from the Introduction in this country of
free raw sugar. Not only as the home
market enlarged but shipments OF
American fruits have greatly increased.
The restoration OF the sugar duty, it is
growing industry.
