Said Spain IS Ready Now to IN
lugurate Reforms On the
Island.
The Proposed Scheme Gives q
Local Legislature With
Two Branches.
Captain General Retains Charge
of the Military Affairs Of
the Colony.

WASHINGTON, April q 1. 49, The Spanish
| governmment within the next four
weeks will put into execution COM
prehensive system of home rule or
autonomy for the island of Cuba.
| There IS good reason to believe that
the safe department. has received from
Madrid information to this effect. In
any event, it is beyond question that
this important move is assured. This
promises to bring to a sudden termina-
ton the irritation and friction which
has existed for many months between
the United States and Spain, and to
replace this feeling with one of a
friendly and amicable nature. The law
which will be put into effect was signed
by the queen regent of Spain March Is.
( 1895, and will be followed up by rules
and regulations developing the present
scheme of reforms. By the time the
queen regent Of Spain makes her adj
dress to the Spanish cortes, which
assemblies in one month, the law will
be promulgated throughout Cuba, and
the long expected policy of home rule
for Cuba will be realized.
Elaborate Provisions of the Law.
The law is very elaborate in it's pro-
visions. The element of home rule is
secured by the establishment of two
local bodies, drawn largely, if not en-.
tirely, from residents of Cuba. One of
these is to be known as the provincial
chamber Of deputies, and the other as
the council of administration. The
latter has appellate jurisdiction over
the former. Large powers are granted
to the council of administration in the
internal management of public AFFAIRS
but the governor general will CONTINUES
as the supreme representative of Spain
on the island, and will have direct
charge of military and international
questions.
The details of the reform project were
published at the time of their adoption
by the Spanish cortes, in 1895.

RETURNING TO FREE TRADE.

Income and Land Tax to Be Substituted
For Tariff in New South Wales.
WASHINGTON, April 21.-New South
Wales is now returning to a free trade
basis, as the result of at least two en-
phatic and unmistakable demands by
the people in the past 10 months.
United States Vice Commercial
Agent Keightley at Newcastle, makes
reference to the subject in report to
the state department on the state of the
province. He says the new government
headed by Mr.. George H. Reid, which
went into Office on that issue, is re-
deeming the election pledges, and is
vigorously carrying out a free trade
policy. The protective duties have al
ready partially, and will soon be en-
tirely abolished.

Income and Land Tax.

To make up the revenue thus lost
there have been levied an income tax,
with exemption below $97s.50, and a
land tax with an exemption below ST.
1853, and these have been received with
disfavor by persons affected, but the
bulk of the population demanded them
at the polls and the friction is expected
to soon disappear. Meanwhile, the
agent says, the government holds out
the consolation that even in the case Of
a person in receipt of large income or
possessing extensive land estates, the
amount levied for income or land will
be almost if not quite returned by the
removal of the taxation through the
custom houses upon necessaries of life
and goods of every day consumption.

TOLLGATES CHOPPED DOWN
HIGH-HANDED WORK OF 4 KEN
TUCKY MOB.
One Man Forced to Destroy His Own
PrOperty-FOur Million Dollars
Worth of Property Have Already
Been Destroyed.

Harrodsburg, KY, Dec. "a mob of
between 40 and so men, armed with
shotguns and axes. rode through Mer-
Ger last night. and chopped down six
tollgates. The gatekeepers were
warned not to repair the gates, or col
lect any more toll, under penalty of
being burned out. The mob passed
through this city at o'clock this morn
ing, en- route from Macksville, for Har-
rodsburg. and they destroyed every
gate in the line of march. At Salt
River, one mile from here, Dave Bar
nett, gatekeeper, was made to chop
down his own gate, and he was told to
notify the turnpike directors that if the
gate was repaired and money collected
the raiders would not only burn the
dollhouse but the private property of
the board of directors. These gentle
men have ordered the gates repaired
and toll will be collected by an armed
guard if necessary. The same warning
was given at some of the other gates.
Over 300 tollgates have been burned or
chopped down, since the turnpike war
began in Washington county, three
months ago, and as yet only five ar
rests have been made. No convictions
resulted from these. The gates de-
stroyed represent ], 500 miles of turnpike
and valued at s4,0OO,O00, and the state
and county authorities have furnished
no protection whatever.

London, Dec. 6.-Hon. Thomas T.
Bayard, the American ambassador. has
written a letter TO the Daily Telegraph
anent that journals proposal to take
up a public subscription for the pur-
pose of purchasing him national
Christmas gift, as a token of esteem
of the British people. The letter. which
is dated December 5, says in par:
Early this morning, 1 telegraphed
you not to proceed further with your
kind and generous proposal for testi-
monial to me from the people of this
country in token of their appreciation
of my efforts to establish between the
two great EEglish-speaking countries
relations of harmony and good will"
Mr.. Bayard then proceeds to say that
he was touched and gratified by the
proposal and the Telegrapt's generous
eulogy of him, but that a few hours
reflection showed him that, holding his
present office and invested with its
discretion and duties, he should scru-
pulously obey the spirit Of his countrys
law, which inhibits any one holding
an office of trust or profit under the
American government from accepting,
without the consent of congress, any
present from any king, prince or gov
eminent"
He further says: 1 never shall cease
to thank the people of these islands for
the whole hearted, unstinted welcome
have received at their hands, and the
warm hospitality that have been
showered on me and mine"
The Telegraph, in leader, will to-
morrow announce the withdrawal of its
proposition. It says. there is no need to
inquire whether any high official au-
thority influenced Mr.. Bayard to de-
cline the proposed gift. The reception
of the proposal has shown how sincere
is the good will of the English nation
towards him.

But Defeated"
Olympic Club Offers $4,000 For
Ten-ROund Contest Between. Cor
bett and Fitzsimmons-Jim, How
ever, Wants $4,000 and Training
Expenses-F1tz Willing to Accept
the Offer.

San Francisco, Dec. 6.-Tom Sharkey,
the defeated, but not dethroned,
champion pugilist of the American
navy held levee today.
A large number of the fair sex called
upon the bruiser with the mouse
colored face and Uttered his sick cham
Der with flowers.
To them, Sharkey explained over and
over again just how he had Fitzsim-
mons all but defeated, and was on the
point of putting his final touch to the
Australians jaw, when the pipe went
out and he found himself helpless on
the table of his dressing room.
Scores of athletes who visited the
sailor today and inspected his injuries,
states that Sharkey's present con-
dition could easily be superinduced by
varicose veins or entertaining
Nobody questions the mariners
gameness, but all condemn his foul tao
tics, and agrees that while he may
be an adept at welding holystones on
a wet deck, he knows next to nothing
about handling boxing gloves.
At the ''chutes" this afternoon, Fitz-
simmons and his trainers illustrated
the Sharkey knockout blows twice to a
crowd of $1,000 people, who cheered him
wildly
The Olympic club of this city, which
is probably the only organization that
will be favored with boxing permits in
the future, has offered purse of $4,000
for a ten-round contest between Cor
bett and Fitzsimmons. The former has
replied, stating that he will consider
nothing less than SIS, 900, with a suit
able allowance for training expenses.
Martin Julian, Fitzsimmons' manager.
has heard nothing from the Olympic
officials, but will make no further moves
in the way of matchmaking until the
Sharkey contest is arbitrated by the
courts. Fitzsimmons, when apprised of
the offer made by the Olympic club.
expressed his willingness to accept any
proposition calculated to bring about
meeting with Corbett, but resoluteIy
adhered to his preference for a finish
hight, and suggested that .'Pompadour
Jim do business with Dan Stuart first.
AS a direct result of the Fitzsim
mons-Sharkey meet, Tommy Ryan of
Syracuse, who was matched to fight
George Green young CorbetO 20
rounds in this city during the month of
January next, has declined to take his
chances with the San Francisco sport
ing element, and thus what promised to
be one of the most scientific contests
ever arranged, has apparently fallen
through.

LODGE-CORLISS BILL.
AIMS TO RESTRICT IMMIGRATION
BY EDUCATIONAL TEST.
Under the Measure, All Immigrants
Who Are More Than Fourteen
Years OF Age Must BE Able to
Read and Write Some Language.

Washington, Dec. 6.-Messrs. Pres
colt F. Hall, the secretary and John
F. More, a member of the executive
committee of the immigration Restric-
ton league of Boston, are in the city
to urge the passage through the SEN
ate of the Lodge Corliss bill to restrict
immigration by an educational test.
The committees last report, which
shows the effect of immigration upon
the United States, and the reasons for
further restriction, has been printed
and a copy will be furnished to each
senator and representative. Speaking
with a United Associated Presses re-
porter Mr.. Hall said: The Lodge
Corliss bill provides that all immi-
grants who are more than IA years of
age must be able to read and write
some language, but it also provides
that aged parents and grandparents of
admissible immigrants may accompany
or be sent for by such immigrants.
THE theory of the reading and writ
ms test is not that an illiterate person
may not be moral and industrious in
particular cases, but that IN general
illiterates are least desirable for other
reasons. Statistics show that the coun-
tries sending US the most iiliterates
send also the largest number of these
ignorant of any occupation, and those
who drift into our city slums and fill
our poor houses and jails. 1t is be-
lieved that a reading and writing test
will prove perfectly simple and exact
in its application and will exclude those
whose standards of living and character
are not suited to American citizenship.
There is a good prospect that the
senate will pass the Lodge bill in some
form at once and as the house has al
ready passed the educational test by a
vote of 1875 to 26 the measure seems
likely to become law at an early day.
It will effect a much needed reform"

Seattle, Wash, Dec. 6.-The floods
and storms which have been prevailing
in the Pacific northwest for the past
month have had a very disastrous
effect upon commercial business in this
section of the country.
Owing to the crippled condition of
the railroads. the lumber business.
which is the chief industry of Wash
ington, is practically paralyzed
The coastwise and foreign trade have
suffered greatly, but nothing in COM
parison with the interstate and east
ern business. and what is worse relief
does not appear to be near at hand.
AT no time within the month could
consignments over either of the trans
continental lines be forwarded with
any certainty of safe delivery.
Washouts on the north systems have
extended from the coast, through
Washington and Montana to the snow
blockaded prairies of the Dakotas. The
depressing effect of this state of affairs
has been far reaching, for in the lum-
Der business of this state alone there
are directly and indirectly about 10000
men engaged. In nearly all the big
business houses. wholesale and retail,
of this city, the general stocks are
running low, and many special ship
ment of holiday goods are blockaded on
the through lines between the coast and
st. Paul, with the result that merchants
will lose heavily unless traffic is soon
resumed. Owing to the blockade, prices
of beef and mutton have risen and will
continue to rise until the railroads are
in shape to handle through freight
Western Washington obtains these
products from the broad prairies east
of the Cascades, and the transportation
of live stock from that section hither
has been attended by even greater
perils and vexatious delays than that
of dead freight. Stock raisers have.
by reason of the unusual fall of snow
on the other side, been forced to feed
their cattle this winter, and this has
also contributed towards the general
advance in prices. The involved rail-
roads are making heroic efforts to get
control of their property again, but
they are not receiving much encourage
ment by any prospects for better
weather as the rain fall continues with
aggravating regularity. Reports from
the Cascades are to the effect that
nearly all the mountain streams are
as high as they were three weeks ago
and the large rivers emptying into
Puget sound are rising and in some
cases have spread beyond their banks.
