GREATER THAN ILLINOIS.
Indiana's Taxable Property Exceeds
that of Her Sister state.

Some of the state officials, who have COM
pared the Indiana tax figures with those of
Illinois, have discovered that although the
population of that State is nearly double
that of Indiana the amount of taxable prop
erty in this State exceeds the amount in
Illinois by $472, 512,O9S. The total assessment
in Illinois in 1896 was $Sl6 $40, $780, while that
of Indiana in 1897 was $1,2S9 191, 713. The state
officers say that the excess in Indiana is
caused by the fact that in Indiana little
property escapes taxation the railroads be-
ing compelled to pay their full share.

sent a message to congress advising
the appointment of a commissioner to

sundry wrangles and debates in con-

Richard Rusk was sent to England to
prosecute the claim. Two years later a
decree of chancery awarded the money
to the United States and Rusl came
hcme with it in the ship Mediator.
Then how to apply the money was the
question. Some advised a public Ii

that the most practical means to diffuse

Especial washington Letter !


On that delightful reservation in
Washington known as the "Mall," or
Smithsonian grounds, there stands one
of the most famous buildings in the
world, namely, the Smithsonian in
stitution." Although it is not one of
the largest buildings in the world, it is
architecturally remarkable. 1t is built
of Seneca brownstone, and the Gothic
style of architecture makes it resemble
one of the ancient feudal castles with
towers aAi battlements and embrasures
like loopholes, reminding one of the
ancient battles of the mobiles when they
fought with arrows instead of guns.
Inside, the prospect is very different
from that of an ancient feudal castle
for there one finds not fierce-bearded
barons with their ladies crouching be-
hind them in fear of the coming foe,
with their army of soldiers, trenchmen,
vassals, serfs, servants, hirelings and
minions. Next to the British museum
the greatest museum on earth, it is q
museum not only of exhibit, but of ed.
ucation and for the diffusion of knowl.

Here comes the peculiar and, one
might almost say, romantic feature oi

for having such an institution located
here, thus showing that Wayne is a
peerless agricultural county.
The above illustration is merely an
outline of what the new building pre-
sents on exterior view.
1t is substantial structure, built in
freproof construction of the warm,
yellowish sandstone found on the sta

an Office building 5Ox7O feet in size, two

The first floor of the Office building
is practically library, being divided
by corridors into rooms which serve
the combined purpose of offices and
libraries, each member of the technical
staff having his separate Office in which
are collected the books pertaining to
his special work.
The second floor contains two offices.
similar to those on the first floor, and

WITH A DYNAMITE GUN.

Cubans Now Down a Large Body of Span
iards and Compel Them to Retreat in
Disorder-The Capture of Bayamo.
New YORK, May 5.-A dispatch to the
journal from Havana says: Cuban
troops led by Gen. Robi have defeated
the Spanish column of Gen. Rey. The
Spaniards numbered 1900, or over
twice as many as the insurgents who
were pitted against them. Rey's rout
was so complete that he has been re-
moved by Weyler and will be sent tc
Spain to answer charges of cowardice.
Robi was encamped near Bayamo
when his scouts brought news to him
of the withdrawal of the regular Span
ish troops from that city and the aban-
donment of the place to the local vol
unteers. Gen. Calixto Garcia sent one
of his dynamite guns with trained
crew, with instructions to Robi to fall
upon the city.
Robi had little difficulty in taking
the city. The volunteers offered slight
resistance. The insurgents sacked the
government commissary, liberated
Cubans in the prisons and took all the
arms and ammunition that the gar
rison contained. They were about to
evacuate the city and bear off the
plunder when Rey's forces hove in
sight.
Robi took up position beyond the
city and awaited the coming of the
Spanish hosts. Before Rey's men could
fire shot the dynamite gun opened
on them and a rafting fire of musketry
followed. The Spaniards, though taken
by surprise, pushed on bravely. The
terrific work of the dynamite gun at
length dismayed them and a panic was
the result. The terrorized men re-
treated in disorder.
The slaughter of the Spanish troops
by the dynamite gun was terrible. The
insurgents were practically unscatched
the enemy having had scarcely a
| chance to fire on them. Garcia decided
| not to hold Bayamo,
