COMPROMISE TALK.
Efforts Toward An Understanding.

EtlDTl- loMdrQ Ali
 Hearing that compromise in the town tax and license wrangle was un- der consideration, TIE OASIS man started out Wednesday to learn the details Mayor Herrera was the first seen, and he said he understood that there had been q meeting the preced- ing evening between committee from the citizens club, and committee from the council. He knew nothing of what had not been done or said at that conference.
 Mir. Jos. Pascholy, on the part of the citizens committee, admitted that such meeting had occurred, there being present himself, L. Ephraim, w. N. Cummings and F. c. Hermo- sillo from the citizens, and Councilmen Gebler, Brickwood, Avery and Louis Proto, on behalf of the council. He said the discussion was very short and would probably be resumed at another meeting.
 MT. Avery said the council had been called to such a conference, with an understanding that an offer to com promise would be made which would involve dismissal of all suits, payment of all licenses, levy and collection of taxes to settle all obligations of the town, both legal and moral lthe latter meaning the Gro Blanco road indebt- ednessg but right at the start they had found the citizens committee divided on the latter proposition, two of them being opposed to include the Orc Blanco debt in the settlement.
 Mr Brickwood corroborated the statements of Mr. Avery and stated farther that during the discussion the much talked pledge given by candi- dates for the council at the last election was raised, and he produced the ori- ginal pledge of which the following is copy:
 Owing to the great depression in all kinds of business and the unparalleled depression in the value of the Mexican dollar, it being our medium of ex- change.
 We tue candidates to fill municipal offices of the city of Nogales, to be voted for at an election to be held on the 2nd day of April, 1893, promise to exercise the greatest economy in the government of municipal affairs, if elected.
 We promise that there shall be no ordinances passed that would entail the expenses of arrestlng and punish ing misdemeanors or breaches of the peace, we deeming the laws of the Territory sufficient to take cognizance of all such cases.
 We promise not to incur any more expenses than such as are actually and indispens ably necessary to keep the incorporation in existence and prevent the losing of our charter.

TAYLOR'S BONDSMEN.
They Make a Proposition for a Set
Element.

AAcy "AAC u ETOpOSlt1On 1Or a Set
Element.
Chicago, Jan. 1.-THE bondsmen of
Walter w. Taylor, the defaulting
treasurer Of South Dakota, held a long
conference to-day. The decision ar
rived at was that Charles H. Vinton,
John 4. McChesney, ex-Gov. Mellette,
R. H. McCaughey and r. G. Kiser, Jr.,
would turn over to the State of South
Dakota all their property to be ap-
piled upon the shortage, the only con-
dition attached being that the bonds
men be dismissed from all other liza
bility on account of the bond.
At present the men who have signed
Taylor's bond are each liable individ-
ually for the whole amount of the
shortage. All their property may be
attached and then, if the shortage is
not made good, judgment will hang
over them for years and any property
they may hereafter obtain will be sub
ject to the demand of the state. The
condition attached by the bondsmen
to the present proposition is that the
property that they at this time turn
over to the state releases them finally.
Ii this proposition is not accepted the
bondsmen say they will fight the COL
lection of any money on account of
their bonds on the grounds that the
state did not use due diligence to pro-
tect itself. They are confident that
they can prove methods Of the loosest
kind in connection with the examina-
ton of the state treasurer's books.

ocrat against it. On Friday Mr.. Bailey
will present a majority report to the

hers were absent to-day. and at anoth-
er meeting there will be an attempt
made to adopt the minority report
The resolution will be reported to the

taking precedence over everything
else. If the house adopts it, the man

was under consideration during the
morning hour In the house. BY q
special order from the rules COMMITTEES
the remainder of the day was con-
sumed with business reported from
the judiciary committee. But one bill,
however, was passed, that providing
for additional judicial facilities for
the Indian Territory, the affairs In
that country being a fruitful theme
for discussion during the consideration
Of the bill
Washington, Jan. II. = The senate
gave the day to further speeches in
which the income tax served as q
text for wide range of discussion on
the tariff, the currency and the Popu-
list platform. Mr.. HIPS proposition
made last week to amend the de-
ficiency bill SO that the income tax
would be tested in the courts has ap-
parently started an inexhaustible flow
of speeches on public affairs in gen.
eral. Mr.. Cockrell in charge Of the
deficiency bill, has sought vainly to Sc
cure vote on the Hill amendment so
that the deficiency bill might move
along to final passage. He hopes to
secure action to-day, but the speeches
of Mr.. Call (Fla.) and Mr.. Allen Neb.)
made this impossible. Mr.. Allen took
occasion to defend the Populist party
against many charges made in and
out Of congress that it was a party of
vagaries. It led to very full discus
sion Of all Populist doctrine.
The day in the house was devoted
after the morning hour to the Indian
appropriation bill, but no progress was
made. Gen. Grosvenor presented a
reply to memorial sent to the judic-
larry committee by Mr.. Richie Of
Akron, Ohio, containing supplement-
airy charges against Judge Kicks. and
Involving ex-senator Payne and Judge
Stevenson Burke. He asked for an
investigation Of the charges.

A PRESIDENT RESIGNS
N. Casimer-Perier, President of
France, IL out.


France, IL out.
Paris, Jan. I'm. Casimir- Perier,
president of the French republic, has
resigned his Office. The president con-
ferred with the president of the SEN
ate and then summoned M. Guerin,
minister of Justice; M. LayQues, min
lister of public instruction; Nj. Pom
carrine, minister OF finance, and the
project Of the Seine.
Nj. Layques had a long conversation
with Perier, the result Of which is
not known. An official note was is
sued announcing the resignation Of the
president and forecasting the ideas he
intends to develop In his farewell adj
dress to the chamber of deputies. The
note says that in the eyes Of the presi-
dent yesterdays sitting of the cham
Der and the vote which overthrow the
cabinet were only secondary incidents
Of the struggle which is proceeding
against the parliamentary regime and
public liberties. NJ. Casimir-Perier
had hoped that the president of the
republic who is deprived of means of
action, would have been exempted
from party attacks and the especial
confidence of the Republicans would
have accorded him power and authori-
ty. He had also hoped that those.
who, despite himself, had placed him
in position where he was unable to
defend himself would have undertak-
en- the defense of the first magistrate.
Continuing, the note says that the
president has requested the ministers
to temporarily withdraw their resig-
nations in order to facilitate the nee
essary changes.
Prime Minister Dupuy impaired
President Casimir-P erier's decision to
the presidents of the senate and cham
Der Of deputies, who will forthwith
call urgency sittings of both bodies.
The greatest perplexity reigns in all
political circles.
During the day it was remarked,
not without surprise in the Hobbies of
the Palais Borbon, that the crisis was
not following the customary course,
but appeared to be assuming a graver
aspect than usual. When the fact be
came known CONSERVATION, amounting
almost to terror, seized every one.
There had been ominous hints in the
press In the recent days that M. CAST
mir-Perier was growing tired of his
position. yet nobody paid attention to
them. The high charac ter, experience
firmness and integrity of the president
inspired the confidence of even the ad-
vanced Republicans.
The long conference which NJ. Cast
mir-Perier had with NJ Callemer La.
cour, president of the senate, is now
explained. He had already resolved
to resign. NJ. Callemet Lacour EN-.
ployed his utmost eloquence in a vain
endeavor to persuade the president to
reconsider his decision and quilted the
palace of the Elysee under sense of
deep DISTRESS All the members of the
cabinet from Prime Minister Dupuy
down, followed Challemet Lacour and
the president not to resign. Their eff
forts were without success.
