A MESSAGE TO MADRID
Spain HIS Been Selected as the First
Point of Attack, Being the
Chief Offender.

Chicago, Dec. IA special to the
Post from Washington says
"A cable message of the greatest inn
portance tothe commercial interests of
the United States has gone from the
state department at Washington to
Madrid. 1t is tantamount to an infor-
NAL notice to the nations of the earth
that If the trade determinations against
United States do not cease that meas
ures will be adopted by the president
for the protection of American COM
merce under the authority of the act
Of congress of August 10, 1890, empow-
ering him to stop the importation of
goods from countries that persist i'm
such determinations. One of the chief
offenders in this respect is Spain, and
for that resaon Madrid is selected as
the point of attack, though the action
would be rightfully construed as indi-
eating a policy applicable to Germany,
Denmark. France and many other ma
tions that have put an embargo on
American products.

GERMANS POSTPONED DEBATE.
nti-RevolutiOnary Measure to Come
Up After the Holidays.

Come
Up After the Holidays.
Berlin, Dec. 17.-Dr. Neiberling, i'm
perial secretary of justice, introduced
an anti-revolutionary bill in the reichs-
tag today. He said it was not intended
to upset public opinion, nor was it a
disguised anti-socialistic law, but it was
directed against excuses of a criminal
nature and against the work of revoIu-
tionists seeking to undermine the state.
The secretary Of justice then proceeded
to refer to many infiammatory pamph-
lets which recently appeared. Inter
ruptiOns by socialists were so freuuent
and of such of a nature that the presi-
dent of the reichstag, Herr Won Levet-
zow, was compelled several times to
call them to order. DR. Neiberling then
produced a revolutionary sheet which
he asserted was intended for circulation
in the barracks of soldiers. He added.
THE aim of our opponents can only be
obtained by overthrowing all order, and
| trust a majority of the house will sup
port the government against this enc
my who deny everything sacred to the
people" (Applause.) Herr Siger moved
an adjournment of the reichstag, ex-
pressing doubt whether a sufficient
number Of deputies were present to en-
able vote to be taken. After the roll
call it was found that Herr Sigers
point was well taken, consequently
Herr Won Levetzow, president of the
reichstag, adjourned debate on the anti
revolutionary bill until January 8.
CRISIS IN ITALY.
Rome, Dec. 1.-THE political crisis
continues to absorb public attention.
Ex-Premier Golitti has gone into the
country, where he is followed and
watched by detectives. There is no
doubt that the news of the propagation
Of parliament has created bad impress
sion throughout Italy. 1t is interpreted
as indicating that Premier Crispi in
tends to remain in power in spite of the
opposition.

Dlsgraceful but Unique Politics
at Savannah.
A QUEER MAY0RALITY CONTEST
Fought Pitched uattles Daily in =
Vicinity of the Tax Collectors
5&ls ONCE.

savannah, Ca, Dec. 16-The most
unique, most disorderly and generally
accepted as the most disgraceful ne
ROO OF politics in the history Of this
city mas come to breathing pass. Two
tactlonal democratic candidates are in
the held for the mayoralty, the election
taking place in January. Under the
hrst use of the Australian ballot sys-
tenn mere, no one can vote who has not
paid all taxes, including those this wear
and registered. This provision led to a
wild scramble at first and then 70
pitched battles daily between large
forces for the choice of positions in line
at the tax collectors offices. The COL
lector could only issue about 200 receipts
a day, and, as the registration closed
saturday, it was inevitable that MANY
citizens would be shut out from VOTING.
The two factions hired two gangs of
toughs, each numbering about 100. and
including the most desperate whites and
negroes in the city. These men were
paid from So to $40 day. Each was
given list of six names, the largest
number the collector would accept taxes
FOR from one person, and the money to
pay their taxes.
Each morning for 10 days past the
SohSo nave struggled ana SlugReQ each
other in front and inside the court
house, and hundreds of citizens were
gathering from all parts of the city daily
to witness the big mills. For two weeks
at least no citizen paid taxes for him
self all intrusting their names and mon
ey to hired heelers. AT times nearly
the entire police force of the city had
to be called to establish order, and for
over a week the presence of about 40
policemen has been constantly required
at the tax collectors office. Armies of
heelers were fed at rival headquarters.
where many of them remained all night
going out early each morning to resume
the battle at the courthouse, where
beer, whiskey coffee and sandwiches
were given them.
Two or three times a day a number
OF the workers skipped with their lists
and money, DISTINGUISHING many citi-
zens. 1t is calculated that the cost of
keeping up the two armies, which in the
last few days have been increased to
about 300, to fight for poll tax receipts,
was over $4,000. They were disbanded
early this morning The next legisla-
ture will be appealed to to amend the
law so as to prevent any repetition of
these scenes.

He started out by saying that he was
heartily in favor of the construction Of
the canal or any other navigable high
way, as furnishing any means for the
accomplishment of this enterprise as
tending to promote the prosecution or
completion Of the canal. He knew of
no authority in congress to endorse or
guarantee the payment of money to
any corporation, public or private. After
detailing the original understanding
that the government should not be
asked to guarantee the maritime COM
panies' indebtedness Senator Turpie
asked with what fairness could this
company now come to congress and ask
a subscription to the extent Of SIC, 0OO.-
OO0
Senator Morgan interjected the re-
mark that the company had not come
here making such a request" To this
Senator Turpie replied: ''Then they
have a very peculiar way of staying
away" He ridiculed the talk of sell
ing the cOmpany's bonds in England
and declared that its entire assets could
not be sold in London for $50. Referring
to numerous surveys for the route
Senator Turpie laid particular stress
on that of 1851, by Cornelius Vanderbilt
and associates. any one of whom, he
asserted, could have completed the ca
nal. Yet the enterprise had been aban-
dOned. Pending the conclusion of his
remarks the senate went into executive
session and at 5:07 adjourned

THEY WE'RE SOLDIERS IN DISGUISE.
Reasons for the Staying of Chinese at
Port Arthur.


Washington, Dec. 1.-THE Japanese
legation today received another tele-
gram from Matsu, minister Of foreign
affairs, regarding the reported atroci-
ties by Japanese soldiers at the fall Of
Port Arthur. This dispatch says the
government is not yet in possession of
full facts, but has ascertained the fol-
lowing circumstances: Many Chinese
soldiers both at Port Arthur and those
who came in from outlying fortifica-
tons taken by the japanese soldiers,
discarded their uniforms and it is now
known to be certain that nearly all the
Chinese in plain clothes killed were
soldiers in disguise. The Chinese inhab-
itants, presumably a majority of Port
Arthur's population, left before the en-
gagement, though a few remained, hav-
ing been armed and ordered to resist
the Japanese and fire upon them. This
they did, and in the confusion of the
fight it was impossible to distinguish
them from Chinese soldiers. The jap
anese soldiers entering Port Arthur
were greatly excited by the sight of
the fearfully mutilated bodies of their
comrades, some of whom had been
burned alive and some crucifed. Not
withstanding this discipline of the army
was maintained. Numbers of Chinese
prisoners were taken and kindly treat
ed. The wounded who could be moved
are on the way to Toxic and will arrive
in few days.

San Francisco, Dec. 17-That the
steam Golfers Montserrat and Kewee-
nav have been lost at sea with all on
board is now considered almost certain.
The Montserrat from Nanaimo and the
Keweenaw from ComOx, b. c., are both
seven days overdue at this port. For
several days tugs and coasting steamers
all along the northern coast have kept
a sharp lookout but no tidings of either
steamer have been received. Both YES
sells were heavily loaded and the pre-
vailing opinion is that they were lost
almost together in the terrific gale that
ragged off Cape Flattery the night they
put to sea.

WAS HUNTINGTON MURDER D7
Startling Theory Growing Out of the
Council Bluffs Tragedy.


Council Bluffs, Ia, Dec. 17.-Startling
developments have been made in the
Huntington affair which resulted in
Huntington's victims employing an at
torney to look out for their interests,
during the inquest. A new feature was
a suggestion given color by a friend of
the dead bank clerk that he did not COM
NIT suicide, but on the contrary was
shot by some one in the room at the
time Huntington began to shoot. This
theory was advanced when it was learn
ed that the bullet in Huntington's
brain was much smaller than the ones
fired into the two bond company ex-
aminers and that the wound was not
powder burned, as 1t was thought would
be the case if the revolver had been
held in his own hands. There was no
other evidence to bear out the theory.
Hayden and Cromwell rested easily all
day and are much improved.

On Monday night of last week the

by the news that Miss Catharine

We are not so sure of that:-S00 I'M
employed gathered in ST. Paul, the
other day, expecting their soup; and
Deacon Wilson, chairman Of the COM
mittee, told them that they used too
much tobacco; and that if they bought
bread with the money they spent for
tobacco they wouldn't be SO badly off
This was doubtless good advice, if it
had been accompanied by the soup;
but when he concluded by telling
them there was no soup, it seemed
like superfuous insult to the poor
devils, and universal ooh" went uI
from the crowd. Most of them prob.
ably voted the Republican ticket
last fall, for their necessity had been
great; but the programme of mo to-
bacco and no soup must distress
their intelligent minds. You couldn't
scare one of them, today, by telling
him that Populist success meant hard
times. He would reply in his own
