OONTRABAND MACKERBL.
The U. $. Fishing Schooner Geering
Held at Halifax

HALIFAX, N s., May 27, 1S96.-The
United States fishing schooner Frederick
Geering, Jr., which was seized by the
Canadian cruiser Aberdeen, at Lascomb,
N. s., yesterday, was hauled into the
Marine and Fisheries wharf this morn
ing ard her crew were set to work to
barrel the mackerel which had been the
cause of her seizure Altogether there
are about 10 barrels of fish, and Captain
Doran claims that at least fifteen bar
rels more were lost in the excitement at
tending the seizure.
The defence of the owners of the
schooner will be based partly on the
claim that the officers of the Canadian
cruiser Vigilant informed the captain of
the Geering shortly before the arrest that
he was outside the three-mile line. This
was just before the schooner dropped
her seine. Shortly afterwards the schoon-
er Aberdeen hove in sight and effected
her capture.
Captain Doran called on United States
Consul General Ingtaham this morning
and made a full statement of his side of
the case 1t is probable that the seizure
will be strenuously resisted in the Vice
Admiralty Court.

rest him, but the cartridge failed to ex-
plode. He was then locked up.

Equal Taxation as it Appears to Col Phelps
Republican Trust Newspapers in

RAILROAD TAXATION.

(Frcm the Evening Journal of January
A, 1852
We hope that the coming session of
the Legislature will be signalized by an
earnest and intelligent effort on the part
of Republican leaders to settle once for
all the. vexed question of railroad tax
alton. We have not the least disposition
to be unjust to the railroads Of the State
or to impose on them any undue share
of the burden of taxation. lit must, how
ever be apparent to the most ardent and
most interested friends of railroad COR
porations that the matter cannot be al
lowed to rest as at present. It is inn
possible to defend a system under which
the wealtniest corporations in the State,
owning more than one-half of the as
sessable property within the State, pay
less than fourth of the taxes. 1T is
injustice like this that angers men, and
when carried to an extreme, turns quiet,
well-disposed citizens into wild Socialists
and Anarchists. The true friends of cap
ital and it's corporate investments are
they who most strenuously resist every
thing that appears like favoriteism to the
rich at the expense of the poor. 1t is
just this favoriteism that this State has
long experienced, and it is time it were
ended Governor Griggs, we hope will
lend his powerful influence to promote
the establishment of a just system of
| taxation. If he fails to grasp the op-
portunity it will remain for some other
to improve and thus win the gratitude
that the State will surely reserve for the
man who shall be Instrumental in secur-
ing for it the inestimable blessing of a
sound and just. because equal, system of
taxation

CUBAN BBLLIGBREN7S.
Morgan Resolution Will Not
Be Favorably Re-
ported On.

WASHINGTON, May 27, 1S96.-The Nor
gan joint resolution recognizing the bel
ligerency Of the Cuban insurgents was
discussed in the Senate Committee on
Foreign Relations this morning, but no
action was taken.
It IS generally believed that the COM
mittee will not take further action on
the Cuban question unless something oc-
ours on the island to give an en-
ttirSly new coioring TO the whole situation.
Practically then, it may be said that, un-
der ordinary conditions, no further action
will be recommended by the committee.
and Mr.. Morgan will be unable to secure
favorable report on his joint resolu-
ton
The majority of the committee appear
to believe that the State Department
is progressing as satisfactorily as can DE
expected under the circumstances and
that any interference by the legislative
branch will only retard and delay such
action as may have been planned by
the Secretary of State. To do more
than has been done would be, as one
member of the committee expressed it,
too much like nagging
Inc oplnlon was expressed by a pronlin-
ent member of the committee this after
noon that the Cuban cause Would NOT -s11f
fer if it were alone until the next session.
for by that time the programme of the ad-
ministration would certainly have been
sufficiently developed to indicate to Con-
the dark, but this Senator thinks that a
reasonable time should be given in when
to permit the administration to act on its
own lines if it does not act at ali. or if
american interests are permitted to suf-
fer, then. he thinks there will be time
enough for Congress ito take har1sher
steps, For these reasons it is predicted
by some. Senators that nothing more will
be done by this Congress in the absence CT
anything unusual occurring on the island

THE CONSULAR SERVICES.

WASHINGTON, May 81, 1S9s.-The Sen
ate Committee on Foreign Relations
through Mr.. Lodge, today, made a ia
vorable report on Mr. Lodges bill for
the reorganization of the consular SER
vice. The bill contemplates a thorough
and complete system of examinations for
applications for the consular service, both
original appointments and promotions
The report refers to the recent order of
the President extending the civil. SER
vice to this department, but adds that it
and does not diminish the need for a
comprehensive neorganizat ton as pro-
posed in the bill reported. "In fact" the
report concludes, 'sthe scheme proposed
in the bill is an extension of that estab-
lished by the executive order and gives
rot only complete reorganization but
the authority of law to the classification,
which now rests solely on departmental

SHOOTING NO CRIME.
An Italians Murderous Row Aired
i'm Court-An AcquitsaJ.

Martin Astente. an Italian from Brook
lyn, was tried in the General Sessions
Court this morning for assauting Alexan-
der Labello, a compatriot, who lives at
No q Adams street. Hobolxen The al
legged assault was committed with re-
volver, and it was claimed by the State
that Astente intended to kill Labello.
According to the testimony produced by
the State Astente came over from Brook
lyn on April 26 and stepped into a saloon
in Adam street. A row occurred in the
saloon and Astente challenged Labello to
so down to vacant lot and fight it out
with their fists. On reaching the lot
Astente drew a revolver and fired at
Labello, but missed him.
The defence commended that there was no
vacant lot or agreement to fight in the
case. The fight was a rough and tumble
controversy in the saloon in which a
whole crowd was engaged and that the
pistol was fired off in the melee. The
the jury accepted the latter version of the
story and acquitted the defendant

A movement is on foot by a number of
East st. Louis capitalists, says ST. Louis
'Star-Sayings,' to incorporate a company
the purpose of manufacturing metal Amer

the school is in session has caused a
very large demand for the flags The

about a weeks use the flag becomes SO

to manufacture their flags out of sheet

metal and whenever the flags become dirty

WON'T EXTRADITE MEYERS.
Prosecutor yyinfieId's Conclusion
DIsapssofnts Chief NJ urnhY

Chief of Police Murphy was disappointed
this morning when Prosecutor Winfield
notified him he would make no effort to
secure the extradition of Henry alias
Jacob Meyers. Meyers was captured in
New York on Monday. The Chief be-
robberies which puzzled the police of the
Hill section. Meyers admits having
pawned some jeWelry which was stolen
from the home of a man in South street
last monta. Skeleton keys such as are
used by burglers were also found in Mey-
er's possession. Notwithstanding these
facts the Prosecutor does not think there
is enough evidence against the man to
warrant his extradition.
