And Has Many Supporters in the
Battle Against the Southern
Pacific.
HUNT1NGToN's MANY LINES.
Men Who Manage Them Will Assist
in the Great Lobby to Defeat
the Measure.

|. FRANKFORT, KY. Feb 1.-The Senate
bill to repeal the charter of the Southern
| Pacific Railroad has been referred to the
| committee of which Sen ator William e.
| Goebel, the author of the bill, is chairman.
| The bill will be taken UP before the com.
mittee the first CT the week, and, it is said,
will be met with strong opposition, which,
| as yet, has not openly developed.
Marked copies of newspaper contain
! ing history of the charter and urging its
| repeal were laid on the desks of every
| member of the House and Senate this
morning and great interest is now being
manifested in the bill. A hot fight is in
| sight, which promises to be of greater
interest than the Senatorial deadlock.
| Senator Goebel declares there is no ques-
| ton as to the right of the Legislature to
| repeal the charter and has been laying
lines in that direction.
The opposition will bring the greatest
| fight in the House should the bill pass the
Senate and owing to the limited session
will attempt to prevent Its coming to a
final vote.
The part of Governor Bradiey's message
sent yesterday which referred to the
abuses of the system followed by railroads
doing business in the State under foreign
charters was well taken as far as Hunting
| tons system in Kentucky is concerned, as
will be seen by consideration of the lines
| operated by him and his associates under
one name or another.
"Old Smoothing iron'' (John Echols)
| has been no small factor In fixing the
s'integrity and moral durability OF this
/ system, and his associate, St. John Boyle,
has done his full part, and though now
associated with Echols in the receivership
OF the G.. o. and s. w. Railroad finds
| plenty of time tofcome to Frankfort and
| fight against the bill to repeal the South
ern Pacific charter. Mr.. Boyle has num-
ber of times been the candidate of the Re-
publican party in Louisville for Congress
| and once of the party for Governor
| In matter of this kind, however, and
| involving such vast interests, the Confed-
crate lion and the Union lamb are content
to browse together in Huntington's good
pastures, and even fight together for his
| interests.
| Huntington's ocean to ocean system en-
| ters Kentucky at Ashland on the north
east and leaves 1t at the southwestern cor
| ner. It is generally understood that all
his lines from Newport News to New Or
leans are controlled by the Newport News
and Mississippi Valley. From Ashland to
Cincinnati and Lexington the lines are run
| by his Chesapeake and Ohio Railroad Com
pany. of which M. E. Ingalls, of Cincin-
| natl is president and George T. Bliss of
New York is vice-president, and Decatur

nothing to do but fit them out again and
send them back to Africa once more, and
as they are largely sons of needy small
gentry this expense will be grievous
blow to their parents, and he thinks that
the chartered company ought to be made
to pay the $4,000 or SO that it will cost.
The first genuine test of the stability of
the Bourgeois Ministry will come appar-
emily on the income tax proposal in the
budget submitted to-day. The scheme
differs in remarkable way from all pre-
vious attempts to apply graduated scale
to income taxation, in that it separates
into different classes each individual in
come.
Thus a man with $15,000a year pays 5
per cent on $4,000, per cent on $1,000, 8 per
cent on $4,000, per cent on $1,000 and per
cent on $500, and the remaining sum of $500
is to be exempt To this extraordinary COM
plication is added the intricacy of sys-
TEN by which deductions are to be made
on account of the number of children a
man has, which in the case of large FAM
lily might wipe off half of his taxation.
This putting of a premium on popula-
tion is only too excusable in France, where
people look forward with positive dread to
the results of the quinquennial census in
the coming spring, but it makes the budget
easier for the opponents of the tax to as
sail. Their campaign is to be based broadly
on the fact that the proposed change, by
its concurrent abolition of the house tax,
will relieve of all taxation 5, 100000 present
taxpayers, reduce the taxes now collected
from another million and put on the
shoulders of the remaining half million
the burden of not only making good this
huge deficit, but also of providing an extra
sum OF 81 200 900 above that the treasury
now receives. HAROLD FREDERIC.

armored cars are movable along the rail-
road between the stations, and all points
are connected by telegraph. Yet Gomez
crosses when he pleases.
Marin started west for Guanajay Thurs
day morning and stopped over night at
San Antonio owing to tracks being re-
moved and wires cut west. Marin be-
lieved that both Gomez and Maceo were
penned up in Pinar province. He in
tended pursuing them, making Guanajay
the base Of operations. Gomez, instead of
continuing his march westward to meet
Maceo, moved around Guanajay, brushed
against Marin's pickets Thursday at San
Antonio. passed east through Banos,
struck the railroad line between Bejucal
and Quivican, twenty miles south OF
Havana, crossing to the vicinity occupied
last week.
General Cavalla, moving up the line on
a train from Batabana with 300 men,
Thursday afternoon, was stopped by the
rails being removed. Supposing there was
only small band of rebels he ordered the
troops to attack and found himself sur
rounded by Gomez and his party, in
danger of being wiped out.
The troops were saved by the arrival oil
re-enforcements after losing many men.
The Government refuses to furnish any
information. The other sources place the
Spanish loss at 200 men. 1t is believed
this is exaggerated. General Marin
learned of Canalla's fight Friday morn
ing and changed his plan upon finding
Gomez behind him and moved back to
Rincon, then southwark to San Felipe,
where strong defenses have been erected.
Maceo when last, reported was near the
center Of Pinar province moving east. Rla

cables, but, allowed them to print the
Madrid cables, stating that the Cabinet
helda session to consider the action of the
committee in favor of the recognition of
belligerency.
The Spaniards are highly indignant.
The newspaper organs of the Conservative
and Reform parties denounce the action
and refuse to believe that Congress and the
President will approve it. They declared
that if the United States took such action
they would lose more than Spain. They
called attention to Spain's additions TO
the navy and increase of defenses for
Cuban ports, saying Spain is prepared for
any emergency.
The Cubans went wild with Joy. Many
failed TO understand that final action has
not yet been taken. The Cubans de-
clared all they wanted was an opportu-
nifty to build ships and get arms and am
munition. They said the adoption of the
report meant victory for the Cuban cause.
The feeling against Americans in Spanish
circles is increasing.
There is little doubt that further action
by the United States will make their. posi-
ton here uncomfortable. The American
residents would feel secure if warship
were here. The moral effect alone would
be great. Germany is the only foreign
nation represented here now. She has
three scholarships in the harbor. The
French feet is said to be coming. The
Americans declare that keeping the war
shipsaway is an outrage.
General Marin took charge of the active
field operations in the hope OF decisive
battle with Gomez. He has great oppor-
tunity before the arrival of Weyler. More
troops are massed in the center of Havana
province than ever before. There are
strong fortifcations at every station

OF the mud last July. Its rank and file
begin to fear that 1T has been too terribly
mangled to go on holding up its head
alone, even if it could shake off the Rose
oery incubus which paralyzes at the top.
Rumors that Chamb mberlain may work his
chartered company cards so as to put the
Torres In the wrong, and be able to march
trium phantly back with most of his
Unionist followers into the Liberal camp,
and with an issue on which to sweep the
country when he goes before it as Lib
eral leader, begin to filter through Liberal
circles. These no longer abhor Chamber
IAN as they did year ago, and they are
very sick over having risked and lost SO
much Tor the sake of the home rule phan-
tom. Who knows2 Stranger things have
happened.
Very soon now the arrival in RELAYS of
Cecil Rhodes and his lawyers, then jane
son and his officers, then his paroled
| troops will be imposing on Englishmen in
practical form the extremely EN- barrassine
task of settling what is to be done about
the whole vexatious business. Thus far
nobody seems to know what tribunal thew
are to be brought before, or what the Min.
istry's intentions in the matter are. Many
rumors are afloat about the difference of
opinion in the Cabinet on this point, hint
ing that Chamberlain in his efforts to
secure real trial is being opposed by
powerful influences in the interest of the
chartered company, but these stories are
probably born of surmise. There is GER
tain grim humor in one aspect of the case.
A doleful parent writes to the Times
pointing out that these 400 Jameson troop

HAVANA, CUBA, Feb. 1.-The news oi
the action of tie Foreign Relations Com.
mittee of the Senate was like bombshell
here. The Spaniards had relied on assur.
ances that the United States would refuse
to recognize the belligerency of the Gu
bans. All cables intimating the commit.
tees probable action were suppressed.
Frequent cables from Madrid were pub
hshed stating there was no probability ol
favorable action. The Spaniards felt secure
and the Cnbans had lost hope of recogni-
tion.

The Red Men will hold installation
ceremonies in their wigwam tomorrow
evening. The exercises are promised to
be very interesting, and corn and veni-
son will be supplied in abundance.
Mrs. I. N. Sergeant, who is i'll with
pneumonia, is. reported to be holding
her own and the last two days see no
change in her condition. Her friends
are hopeful that her recovery may be
assured.
The members of the Real Estate Ex-
change will be glad to receive the names
of any people in the East who are con-
sidering moving to the West. Copies of
the pamphlet just issued by the Ex-
change will be sent them.
A crowd of twenty-five skaters went
down on the afternoon train to try the
ice at Snipes' lake. A special engine
and car will go down and bring them
back this afternoon. Reports from the
lake this morning say the ice isNgood.
A report was circulated around town
last night that DIR. Sutherland was taken
seriously Ill and the rumor soon as
sumed an exaggerated form. The doctor
was quite indisposed, due to over work
during the past few weeks, but is him
self again today.
In the county court today G. A.
Stewart was appointed road supervisor
of district No. 1. This district embraces
Cascade Locks, and is the one in which
there is good deal of contention over
the supervisor. Several arrests have
been made on the non-payment of taxes,
and muss raised all around.
Robert Walters, who lives on Dutch
Flat, brought to town this morning a
bald eagle, which he caught in a trap.
The bird, which is not yet full grown,
measures seven feet from tip to tip.
Mr.. Walters wanted to dispose of the
bird to the Commercial Club, but none
of the trustees thought they had time to
take care of it, so the bird remains un-
purchased.
At the Relief Corps installation cere-
monies Saturday night Mrs. ]. M. Pat
terson, the retiring president, was pre-

with a pretty little remembrance in the
shape of gold Corps badge. Mrs. Pat
terson was much pleased at this express

were held by the members of the Corps.

An Immigration Inducer.

There has just been issued from THE
CHRONICLE Office an immigration
pamphlet for The Dalles Real Estate
Exchange. Five thousand copies have
been ordered, and will be sent to places
where it is thought the most good will
be accomplished. The pamphlet num-
bers twenty-four pages of reading mat
ter, descriptive of the resources of
Wasco county and the natural advan-
tages of The Dalles. Full statistics are
given of the products of this section and
our resources portrayed in convincing
manner. The work is profusely illus
trated with cuts showing places of COM
mercial and artistic interest. A birds
eye view of The Dalles serves as fronts
piece of the book. Following this comes
a view of one of our warehouses, and
then picture giving some idea of the
wool shipping business done at The
Dalles. The other cuts show station

which was written by j. 81. Cradle

nothing out in the way of information
for the intending settler.

death of george II. thompson.

George H. Thompson is dead A tel
egram was received this morning, say
ing that Mr.. Thompson died yesterday
at Colfax. His death, while it will
cause shock to the vast number of
people who knew him and were his
friends, caused no surprise to those who
were aware of his critical condition.
For nearly year Mr.. Thompson has
been ailing, and last summer went to
California to see if the milder southern
climate would not restore his shattered
health. The trip did him little good,
however, and a few months ago he re-
turned to Colfax and grew worse. He
has been confined to his bed for several
weeks, much of which time he suffered
great pain. His illness was described as
catarrh of The stomach.
The death of Mr.. Thompson occasioned
deep regret in The Dalles. To few men
has it been given to enjoy such popu-
larity as George Thompson did. For
six years he occupied the position of
county clerk of Wasco county, being
elected by what were considered phe-
nomenal maiorities. The first time that
he was chosen county clerk his majority
was narrow one, being, if memory
serves US right, but five votes. The next
time it was nearer five hundred. Mr..
Thompson had the faculty, to remark
able degree, of winning friends, and the
intelligence of his death will be sad
news to hundreds of people in Wasco,
Sherman and Gillian counties, where
he was known.
Mr.. Thompson was aged about 40
years and leaves a wife and one boy.
His widow is daughter of ]. B. Con-
don, Esq, of this city. For several
years Mr.. Thompson has been in the
auditors Office of Whitman county.
The remains will arrive in The Dalles
tomorrow morning and the funeral will
take place Wednesday at 2 O'Clock,
either from the Congregational church
or the residence of j. B. Condor.
