NO SILVER
LEGISLATION LIKELY.

Washington, Dec. 6-Sen
ator Dubois said to day that
th.. friends of silver did not
look for any favorable legisla-
ton during the present session
of congress, and that in view of
the hostile attitude Of the pres
idrnt he did not believe any
special effort wonld b. made in
that direction. The silver men.
hr believed, would so far con
troll the committee that they
could al any time bring up a
free coinage bill, and it was
very likely that a number of
speeches III advocacy of such Il
measure would he made during
the session. I he wisdom of
making prolonged fight. with
the full knowledge of It's hope
lpssness. he said, was much
doubIed by the silver men. and
it was altogether likely that
they would content themselves
with reaiEirming their allegiance
to the canse rather than pro
longing the session when no
substantial good possible could
result.
The senator, however, was
very positive in asserting that
no ISSUE of bonds would BIZ au

islation permitted without SOME
substantial recognition given In

any measure providing for the

caused by such retirement. He

enough in the State treasury by
the last of next February to
pay off the deficiency. his
idea was no doubt based on the
belief that the bulk of taxes
would come in during the
months of Decem Der and Jan
uary. and if such were the case
lit would be easy enough to
resume cash payments in Feb
ruary. In previous years the
taxes, at least the bulk of them.
have he-n paid in during De
cembpr and January, but under
the Colquitt act, passed by the
Twenty-f TIL Legislature,
there are no forced payments
by collectors sales, that method
being repealed.
Under the new method the
delinquent tax list is not made
out by the collectors until the
31st of March of each year. The
lis: is then handed to the coun-
~ clerk and Comptroller. 1t
is by them revised, and by the
time the work of revision is
completed it will be at least
April 80. The county clerk
must then advertise the list
three weeks. which will take
the time up TO May 81. The
county attorney then begins
the preparation of suits and by
the 18th of June he may be
ready to sue.
Ii will thus be- seen that I'M
der the Colquitt act no one is
forced to pay his taxes before
June Is. 1t is true. the tax
payer will, If he waits until
June 10, be compelled to pay
the cost of advertising. but this
cost is very trivial, being only
% cents per tract. When the
cost was much Greater many of
the taxpayers waited until the
last moment 10 pay their taxes,
therefore il is reasona bic to
suppose that many more will
wait till the last moment now,

AN AGREEMENT REACHED.
Understanding Between Japan and the
European Powers.

Washington, May 1S.-The Japanese
legation has received an official cable
stating that final and satisfactory
agreement has been reached by Japan
with the European powers on the East
ern question. 1t is regarded as closing
the entire subject. 1t is also regarded
as negativing the unofficial statements
of Russian newspapers that Russia
would claim a protectorate over Corea.
The reports of Russia's purpose III
absorbing Corea are not seriously en-
tertained in diplomatic circles NO
such purpose has ever been suggested Ill
the official correspondence thus far,
China's assertion of "A protectorate over
Corea led to the recent war, so 1t Is not
likely Japan would regard similar
claim by Russia with Indifference. An
other report coming from Frankfort
that Russia's claim to COrea was Tor
the purpose of protecting Russian mer-
chants against Japanese competition Is
known to be erroneous by those familiar
with the facts. A diplomat recently
at Seoul, the capital of Corea, says
there is only one Russian, carpenter,

New York, May 2O.-A cablegram

that Pope Leo XIII has ordered his
tomb. He has given commission to
Maroni, the most famous sculptor III

ance to the cardinals of political letter
concerning the affairs of his entire
reign, are considered proof that the
lead of the Catholic church is impress
ed with the realization that his re-
manning days on the papal throne are
few. 1t is no new assertion that his
health has been failing, and now fears
are entertained that he may never
rally, considering his age is So.

THE REPUBLIC SHAKY
A Change of Administration
Likely in Hawaii.
THE PEOPLE ARE DISSATISFIED
Ex-Minister Thurstou strongly AdvO-
Gates Monarchy With Princess
KaiuIani Placed on the Throne.

Kaiulani Placed on the Throne.
San Francisco, May 1S.-An evening
paper prints the following:
Private letters from Honolulu by the
steamer Australia declare that change
of administration will soon occur there,
and that the change is advocated by no
less an important parsonage than eX-
Minister Thurston. The information
comes from reliable source and cam
not be questioned. According to the
letters received here, all that is preserV-
ing the present government is the fact
that it possesses the arms to quell an
other outbreak and is exciting itself III
it's efforts to prevent the landing OF
contraband arms. 1t is well known
that the government forces numerically
are greatly in the minority, and no one
has been made to realize this TACT more
than ex-Minister ThurstOn.
At the recent conference between eX-
Minister Thurston and President Dole
and members of his cabinet, the former
declared that the only hope of perma-
nent peace on the islands would be
realized i'll placing Princess Kalulanl
in the position which the former mon
archy proposed that she should some
day have. Mr.. ThurstOn is reported to
have advocated this step so strongly
that President Dole and his cabinet be-
came alarmed and have since given the
matter many hours of consideration.
Passengers on the Australia have
confided the fact that the republic Is
on its last legs. Various big organiza-
lions are breaking away from President
Dole, and the opposing forces which
were somewhat subdued after the re-
cent uprising by the show of arms made
by the government, are now becoming
bolder.
AN alarm is likely to be sounded
any night remarked a passenger,
land if it is, you can expect to hear OF
the downfall of the republic. There Is
no escape for it. The people are dissat-
isfied, and particularly the Americans,
who if aroused will find at their side
all the assistance they need to effect
complete change in the government.
Minister ThurstOn's uneasiness has be-
come 50 apparent to the opposing forces
that the latter have gained more cOur-
age. The fact that Minister ThurstOn
favors change is no longer secret,
and when we left Honolulu, it was
common talk that he was planning to
carry to a successful end the CONVEX
sion of the republic back to a mon
archy."
