Overdue French Steamer Delayed BY
an Accident.

Overdue French Steamer Delayed BY
an Accident.
New York, May 22.-The overdue
French line steamer La Gascogne,
Captain Baudelon, from Havre, May
II, arrived safely in port at o'clock
this afternoon after tedious and ex-
citing voyage of eleven days. On the
18th, when in latitude AZ, longitude 40,
at $50 a. M, the piston rod of the in
termediate engine broke. The steamer
Immediately stopped. 1t was decided
to disconnect the disabled engine. At
ter much labor the task was accom-
plished at $3.50 p. m, and the. ship
resumed her voyage under high and
low pressure engines at the reduced
speed of eight knots per hour. At 1880
this morning Fire Island was sighted
and Captain Baudelon signaled that
La Gascogne was disabled, and two
tugs which were sent out intercepted
the steamer as she neared the Sandy
Hook light ship and assisted her into
port.
The piston rod broken was the new
rod placed in the ship on her return
to Havre after her memorable voyage
in February last. Captain Baudelon
says there was no excitement on
board.

Total Paralysis Threatened.

Chicago, May 22.-The brickmakers'
strike has reached the point where a total
paralysis of all building operations in
Cook county is threatened. Every union
brickmaker in Cook county quit work
yesterday, and today the strike managers
declare that no brick will be moved or

seven-eighths of the annual output, have
declared in favor of the scale demanded
by the workmen. They say no attempt
will be made to resume operations until
the scale is adopted. The fight is directed
against twenty smaller firms on the north

RAISING REVENUE.
MEXICO PROPOSES TO TAX GOLD
AND SILVER MINES.
Those in Which American Capital is
Interested VIII Be Looked After
More ParticuIarly-The Latest
Threat.

Washington, May 22.-Word reaches
Washington that Mexico is about to
adopt new plan for raising revenue
by taxing all silver and gold mines. in
which American capitalists are heavily
interested. Finance Minister Liman-
tour first suggested the plan to the
budget committee, and the latter ac-
cepted it and presented it to the cham
Der of deputies as part of 'the federal
revenues for the current year.
The propo. ed tax is estimated in the
budget to yield 81, 275, 900, which makes
it the third item of Importance in the
Mexican revenues, being exceeded only
by customs and internal revenue or
stamp tax. The new tax is to be called
an extraction tax" It is 21a per
cent. on silver and 31s on gold. 1t is
to be paid on every species Of the two
precious metals, rough or refined. The
collection is to be made at the metal
lurgi3al offices on such metals as are
for local use and at the point of eX-
port on metals sent abroad. This eX-
traction tax is in addition to the charge
for minting or coming. There are no
exceptions even in the case of special
mining concessions or zones, granted
by the government. Another prOSpec-
tive change affecting American inter-
ests is likely to result srom the silver
lead ore item Of the last United States
tariff act. 1t is not improbable that
the old American rate of u cent per
pound on the lead contained in silver
lead ore will be reimposed by Mexico.
The rate was reduced to q of a cent
per pound by the United States act
A provision was added that in case a
foreign country should impose an i'm
port duty upon silver ores containing
lead exported to the United States
from such country, then the duty upon
such ores, when imported from such
country, shall remain as fixed by the
law in force prior to the passage OF
this act. It is under this provision that
the Mexican law is likely to be
changed

BRICKMAKERS' STRIKE.
Every Yard in Chicago is Tied Ur

Chicago, May pa local paper says:
All the union brick yards will close
tomorrow. The strikers are jubliant
over the outcome. They claim that
when the union yards stop it will stop
building to a large extent and will
throw many bricklayers and men in
other building trades out of employ
ment.
The non-union bricklsyers say that
the closing down of the yards of their
competitors is simply for the purpose
of forcing them to join the manu-
facturers' association. The union
manufacturers on the other hand say
they cannot afford to pay the wages
they are now paying.

u.
Port Townsend. Wash, May 22.-The
death and identity of Ansel White, the
lost heir of four million dollar estate,
has been fully established by a special
court commission sent to this coast by
the probate court OF Utica, N Y 1t
appears a period of fifty years elapsed
from the time White hurriedly left his
home in company with another mans
wife, until his heirs learned of his death
near Port Angeles. He and the woman
went TO Illinois, where they separated,
and he drifted out west to California, and
ultimately settled on a lonely ranch in
the Olympic Mountains, where, thirty
years later, he died. His will bequeath-
ing all his worldly possessions to Preston
NJ. Troy, is pronounced worthless in so
far as it applies TO the eastern estate. 1t
was some years after Whites death be-
fore he fell heir TO the Utica estate, and
consequently he could not will to Troy
property he did not own.
