MISS ROWAN 10 MARRY
WAS HERE RECENTLY WITH THE
FRAWLEY COMPANY.
To Marry an Operatic Star in March
Maurice De Vries the Man of Her
Choice-To Leave Frawley's Co.

Miss Lansing Rowan has a new en-
gagement The talented rival of Miss
Blanche Bates is about to leave Fraw-
ley's aggregation to become the wife
of Maurice de Vries, the opera bari
tone. At least that is the way they
tell it at the Columbia Theater, says
the San Francisco Chronicle of the 4th
inst.
The couple have been engaged for
some weeks, but have managed to keep
their secret pretty well. Miss Rowan
leaves this morning with the Frawley
company en- route to Colorado by way
of the Oregon and Washington circuit,
and ii was only last night that she
opened her heart to one of her dear
est friends.
The affair is not of long standing.
De Vries and Miss Rowan met for the
first time about five months ago, when
the recent grand opera season at the
Tivoli opened. With the singer it was
a case of love at first sight, and ,judg-
ing from the results. his efforts to
please were not in vain. Miss Rowan
was then, as now, a member of the
Frawley company, playing emotional
roles at the Columbia. The two were
frequently seen together, but the
truth was never suspected until some
time after De Vries' departure for New
York. During the Christmas season
many presents came to Miss Rowan
from the East, and the gossips began
whispering that the stage was about
to lose very valuable member.
The wedding, so it is said, is set for
some time in March. Miss Rowan will
sever her connection with the Frawley
company on February Goth at Colorado
Springs. From that city she will go
to her home in New York and break
the news to her relatives.

CABLE OVER THE PACIFIC
PROJECT IN \ FAIR WAY TO BE
CONSUMMATED
Hawaii VIII Be Tapped-Ten Million
Dollars the Estimated Cost-Van-
couver the American Terminus.

NEW YORK, Jan. 6.-The Evening
Posts London cable says: The Pacific
Cable Commission was signed this af-
ternoon on behalf of the British, Aus
tralasian and Canadian Governments,
after many months of investigation.
The result, which is kept strictly
secret for the present, is awaited with
great interest as the first tangible pro-
duct of Chamberlain's aggressive CO.
lonial policy. tits an important step
toward establishing British supremacy
in the Pacific and supplying the en-
pire with trunk line imperial cables
free from possible foreign interfer-
ence.
1t is understood that the report fav-
ors laying a cable at the earliest pos
sible moment between Vancouver and
Australia, under joint subsidies by
England, Canada, certain Australian
colonies and New Zealand. 1t must
touch none but British territory, leav-
ing Hawaii to be tapped by a branch
| lin,y.
! Tile Laurier Government made Ca.
madam support absolutely conditional
upon the absence of foreign stations,
which would destroy the strategic
value of the cable to the empire in
case of war.
The Canadian delegates strongly
favored the construction and operation
of the cable as joint government en-
terprise by an imperial colonial cable
trust, England, Canada and Australia
each paying one-third of the cost.
Official opinion in England, support
ed by some Australian colonies,
backed by strenuous opposition to the
existing Eastern Company monopoly
favored subsidy to an independent
company, which course probably will
be adopted. The cable will cost about
$1O,00O,OOO to put down and will be
ready within two years.
The project now awaits the approval
of the imperial and colonial Cabinets
and the passage of the necessary votes
by the various Legislatures. The only
difficulty is expected in Australia
where intercolonial rivalries are GER
tain to create opposition.

A TAX PROPOSED
ELL OF GREAT IMPORTANCE PASSED
BY NEW YORK HOUSE.
1t Provides for an Inheritance Tax
That Might Result i'm Virtual Con-
%fiscatiOn of Estates.

ALBANY. N. V. April 2.-Second in i'm
portance only to the passage of the Great
er New York charter was the action of the
assembly yesterday in passing and send
ing to the Senate Mr.. Dudley's bill provid-
ing for a graded inheritance tax. The vote
on the bill was unanimous, standing 131
10 0. The bill is the result of the recon-
mendations i'm Controller Robertss annual
report, which created a sensation last win
ter when it was published. The controller
argued that wealth which was not invested
i'm real estate did not hear its share of
taxation: that many estates. being entirely
in personal property, always evaded the
tax gatherer, and that the only time such
estates could be made to pay was on
death.
The fact that there was no opposition
to the bill in the assembly may be taken
under ordinary circumstances as an indi-
cation that it will also pass the Senate
The only argument against the bill is that
it will drive rich men to seek a residence
i'm other States, and that 1t might be pos
sible for estates to be taxed repeatedly
should there be great fatality in one fam
lily, until within d few years it would all
go to the State. 1t is estimated that the
new tax will bring at least $1,000, 600 a
year lillO the Sldlt lledSuly. SOilll OlltT
Roberts is worth 81, coo, OO0. and he cannot
be accused of self-interest. The bill as it
passed the assembly reads:
Section /. Section 200, chapter 90S, of
the laws of 1886. is hereby amended by
adding at the end thereof a new para
graph, to read as follows: Where personal
estate is subject to IL transfer tax of D
per centum. and the value of such estate
exceeds $4,000, an additional tax shall be
imposed on the entire personal estate so
taxable at the accommodating rate of ! per
| centum for each additional $4,000, or
major portion thereof, except that if the
entire estate exceeds S3.N0.000 1t shall only
be subject TO taxation at the aggregate of
10 per centum,
Sec. 2. Section 22l of such act is here
by amended by adding at the end there
of a new paragraph, TO read as follows:
Where personal estate is subject to a
transfer tax of / per centum, as prescribed
in this section. and the value of such es-
tate exceeds 81. 900, 900, an additional tax
shall be imposed on the entire personal es-
tate so taxable, at the accommodating rate
of one-half of / per centum for each addi-
tional $50. 600. or major fraction thereof,
above two and one-half million dollars; ex-
cent that If the entire estate exceed ST.
900 COO il shall only be subject to taxation
| under this section at the aggregate rate
of 10 per centum.
This bill will mean that large estates
will nav from 10 TO ID per cent. If an eS-
tate is worth, say, $50. 900, 600. the State
will come into at least s6.G90,0OO on the
owners death.

THE FOREST RESERVES.
President CIeveland's PrOclamatiOn
VIII BE Modified.

WASHINGTON, April All the men,
bers of the Cabinet were present at the
meeting to-day. Secretary Sherman. who
was unable to attend last Tuesday on ac-
count of Illness. was present. The Cabinet
was in session a little over an hour and
a half. The only question of public impor-
lance was the question of resembling the
order of ex-President Cleveland setting
apart twenty-one forest reservations in
the West. This question has engaged the
attention of Secretary Bliss for some time.
The secretary to-day took TO the White
House the maps and papers relating to the
matter. The discussion Of the question was
at times very vigorous and all the members
took part. The outcome was instructions
that the national forestry commission be
summoned to Washington to talk over their
work with the President. III is understood
that the sentiment was unanimous that
President Cleveland's proclamation was
too comprehensive and il was stated that
the object of the commission which inves-
tlgated the subject and on whose report
the reservations were proclaimed. was to
take in enough territory to preclude the
possible future claim that any land legiti-
nately deserving or requiring reservation
had been omitted. The Cabinet held that
the commissions Investigation was made
quate. The President announced his pur-
pose TO act on conservative lines and not
TO act without more information.
secretary Bliss led the discussion and
submitted notes of the contentious of West
ern senator's who protested against the
order. The amendment TO the legislation
now pending authorizing a survey of the
tracts thus set apart and appropr1ating
money for that work was carefully re-
viewed, and il was decided that no action
should be- taken pending such survey of
the reserved country. The general opinion
was that the amendment would be made
IA law early next week. and 1t was de-
termined that the surveying work should
be begun Immediately on the amendment
becoming law and the reports of the sur
vey expedited to the end that any defects
should be promptly remedied. AS at pres
ent determined the forestry proclamation
will not be revoked i'm toto. but its pro-
visions will be adjusted by presidential
orders as 10 specific tracts. The Black hills
reservation. in South Dakota in all prob
ability. will comprise part of the lands
which will be subjected to the first sur
vey. When the work there Is completed
the President will exempt from the pro-
visions of the proclamation such lands as
are of a mining or agricultural character
or where the settlers rights are injured.
Then the survey will be transferred to
other tracts and the exemption prociama-
ton separately as the work progresses.
The forestry commission is expected TO
come to Washington some time next week
to talk over the matter with the Presi-
dent and members of his Cabinet

what Architect Aiken Says About Our
Federal Building.

Special to the indianapolis Journal.
WASHINGTON, April 2.-Speaking gen.
orally on the subject of public buildings this
afternoon. Supervising Architect Aiken
took occasion to say a few words about the
indianapolis situation. He said: There is
no city in the United States so badly in
need of a federal building as indianapolis.
Other cities not having one-half the need
of such "a building as the Indiana capital
have been able to get recognition at the
hands of Congress and have fine structures.
There Is no bill before Congress appropriate
ing money for a government builuing that
i can more heartily il1dorse than that pro-

w;tnout Significance.

WASHINGTON. April 2.-Secretary Long
is authority for the statement that the
orders of the flagship Philadelphia
to proceed to Honolulu have no
significance. 1t is said at the State De
partment that the movement has not been
requested by it. as would have been the
case had the threatened trouble between
the japanese and the Hawaiian govern
ment entered into the calcula-
tions of the Navy Department.
The Philadelphia is TO relieve the
Marion. which arrived on the station, re-
lieving the Alert, about two weeks ago.
The reason for the change is said to be
a belief on the part Of the secretary of
the navy that from the Importance of
Honolulu commercially and otherwise. the
United States should have n ship of high
or class than the Marion stationed there.
As for the Marion. 1t is conjectured that
she may be sent onward to Samoa to show
the United States flag in that quarter of
the globe for the first time in four years
