RIOT AT PATERNO.
Populace incensed at the Increase i'm
Taxes.

PALERMO, April 27.-There was a
riot to-day at Paterno. a city ten miles
northwest of Catania. The populace
which consists chiefly of the lower
classes, became incensed against the
increase of municipal taxes, and made
a demonstration which at one time
threatened TO become serious
The mob attacked the house of the
Mayor and mashed the windows and
destroyed a number of street lamps
They then set fire to the Office of the
Octroi, where the tax on provisions.
etc, entering the city is collected and
to a number of sentry boxes. and they
were destroyed.
The mob was in q most dangerous
humOr, and the gendarmes were power
less to quell the disturbance The
military were called out, but the riot
ers stoned the troops, severely wound
ing an officer and three men.
An attempt was made to open the
prison and release the convicts, but
this was fortunately prevented oy the
troops. The situation was bee 1ning
extremely critical when the prefect Of
militia arrived on the scene. He finally
after several fruitless attempts got the
crowd to listen to him. He promised
that some of the more burdensome of
their grievances would be redresscd,
and by his conciliatoTy attitude ulti-
mately calmed the passions Of the
mob, which then dispersed.

offers made by the companies. lie re-
views the different propositions ad-
vanced, and asserts that according to
the exhibits made by the companies the
average earnings would pay both in
terest and dividends.
Mr. Hubbard refers to the possible
interest of the Chicago and North
western in the Union Pacific reoTgani-
zation That company and the Union
Pacific, he says, own all the stock of
the Fremont Elkhorn and Missouri
Valley Railroad, and so become the
most prominent rival in parallel and
competing with the Union Pacific. The
fear is expressed that under the COM
mittee bill the two subsidized roads will
become a part of two of the greatest
railroad monopolies in the country.
Another objection to the BILL" the
report said, sis its inconsistency with
the Constitution of California, which
provides for the extinction of all cor
porations organized under the laws of
that State not later than fifty years
from their formation
The report recommends the Substitu-
ton and passage of the Morgan n-Brice
bill, which was drawn up by the Attor-
ney-General This BILL" it says, sim
ply confers exclusive jurisdiction upon
the Circuit Court of Appeals for the
District of Columbia over the Govern
ment lien on all the properties for the
enforcement of such lien, and with
power to enjoin parties from prosecut-
ing the lien.
Mr. Hubbard recommends the ap-
pointment of a joint Congressional
committee to inquire into the affairs
of the companies, and especially as to
their available assets and other facts
pertinent to an adjustment of their in
debtednesS to the Government, and to
report at the next session of Congress.
The report argues finally that when
the Secretary of the Interior asserts
that our claim is good, and that there
ought not to be over 20 per cent. dis
count made in the settlement; when an
other Cabinet Minister frames bill
for the settlement of the indebtedness;
when great railroad ability, like that
of Senator Brice, approves the Attor-
ney-GeneraPs bill; when Government
receiver says the roads are worth more
for our benefit if united than if sold
separately, as proposed in the bill;
when another Government director
says that the Government directors
are united on q plan thus to unite the
roads, and that capital is waiting an
opportunity to bid in the property when
put in that shape, it becomes unWiSe
to pass the bill reported by the House
committee.

M'KINLEY'S POSITION.
Senator Shernan's Letter TO Brook
gyn Republican CGub.

BROOKLYN, April 27.--At a meeting
of the Brooklyn Young Mems Republi-
can Club this evening a letter from
Senator John Sherman of Ohio was
read in which Ne said:
There can be no doubt as to the
opinions of Major Mckinley on the
money question. He is committed in
every form, by speech and otherwise,
to the Republican policy of maintaining
the present gold coin of the United
States as standard of value. He. in COM
mon with myself and others, believes
that silver should be employed as
money, always. however to be main
tanned at a par with gold coin. The
convenience OF silver coins for the
transactions Of minor business is so
manifest that no sound money man
would desire it's discontinuance, but
upon the primary condition that its
coinage should be limited and its pur-
chasing power maintained by the fat
of the Government at par with gold
He believes, as I do, that a tariff should
be adopted that viii partially protect
all Amer can industries from undue
competition with foreign production,
that can be and ought to be produced
in the United States
The meeting passed resolutions in
dorsing Mckinley as the Presidential
candidate by a large majority.
