SEIZED RAILWAY PROPERTY.
Effort of Crandon Authorities to Collect
Taxes.


Crandon. Wis, Jan. 22.-[Special.]-
Henry Poppy. town treasurer of Crandon,
is Selling Chicago & Northwestern Rail-

of taxes The company refuses, it is
claimed, to pay its taxes on the great
land grant it received from the govern

has never built line of road.
Attorney S. NJ. Dixon of the Chicago
& North Western road in Milwaukee,
when asked about this proceeding stated
that the condition at Crandon was I'M
doubtedIy much similar to that existing
IN many counties of the state, and which
exist in Milwaukee county as well. In
these instances the company, as well as
other large corporations, refuse to pay
what they claim TO be an illegal and
unjust taxation. In refusing to pay an
unjust tax they do not say they will
not pay taxes on all property they own,
but refuse to pay particular tax I'M
til the matter is settled. I'm many
countess said Mr. Dixon, ''there seems
to exist sort of close communion of
citizens who appoint or elect themselves
to certain Offices and they perform all
the work they can on public roads, etc,
running the taxes up as high as they
can get it and then call on the large own
ers to come to time. In such instances
refusals are met with, until the matter
of taxation can be legally adjusted. I'm

GOVERNOR BRADLEY PROPOSES
TO HAVE HIMSELF INTER
VIEWED TO-DAY.
WILL CREATE NATIONAL COMMOT|ON
And May Upset McKinley's Calcula-
tions-Politician Swarming Into
st. Louis-How to Provide for
the Negro Still Puzzler.

Cincinnati, June 9.-The Commercial
Gazette's special from Frankfort, Ky,
says:
Governor Bradley has again donned his
fighting clothes and tomorrow an inter-
view, probably supplemented by some
spicy documents, will be given out for
publication by the Kentucky candidate
for the presidency. When it was stated
several days ago that Governor Bradley
had not withdrawn from the presidential
race and had not authorized any one to
withdraw his name, the sentiments of the
governor were voiced to the letter and
the interview Governor Bradley will au-
thorize tomorrw will not only verify this
statement, but will probably have an eff
feet ON the campaign now in progress
between the aspirants for the nomination.
Several days ago statements were sent
out from Washington which originated
in Mcinley circles to the effect that
Governor Bradley wrote Major Mckin-
ley while he was at ThOmasville, Ca,
on his southern tour two years ago ask
ing his advice as to what currency posi-
ton he should take and intimating that
he Bradley was favorable to free silver.
According to the Washington story, Nc
Kinley answered Bradley, advising him
to come out for sound money. The gov
ernor will touch on this matter in his
interview. When it is stated that two
sets of Ohio letters are in the govern
or's possession and also letters from other
presidential candidates on the currency
question who were asked for advice at
the time Bradley wrote Mckinley at
Thomasville, interest of a national char
acter will be created. The letters from
Mckinley will not be published in the
interview, as they are confidential, but
Bradley evidently believes that he would
be justified in publishing them since his
letter to Mckinley had been given out by
the Mckinley headquarters in Washing
ton.
There are not less than five letters in
Governor Bradley's possession from pres
idential aspirants written about the time
the Thomasville letter was penned, and
it is more than likely that two of these
letters will be used in the interview.
1t was Governor Bradley's intention
to give out the statement tonight, but he
concluded to hold consultation with
several Republican leaders before pub
fishing it, The latest Bradley interview
will be somewhat hot and sensational.
1t is believed Governor Bradley reconsid-
cred his withdrawal ON receipt of tele-
grams from Plat, Quay and company.
"Have you authorized any interview,
intended to be construed as a with
drawal" was asked Governor Bradley.
81 have not" he replied
"Did you receive any kilograms from
Platt Quay or Morton pertaining to
your alleged withdrawals
81 did not" was the emphatic answer.
The Bradley interview is being care
fully prepared and is expected to create
a national connection.
