San Francisco. Cal. Nov. 14,-Col.
John Bradbury the Los Angeles mil
lionaire, has just barely escaped death.
For five days he was at sea in an open
launch and without food entirely. He
left his mine in Rosario river last
week to 20 to Mazatlan in n small
launch, there being only the engineer
with him. outside the river they en-
countered Il storm and It was impossi-
BILE for them to reach shore. Fuel and
food gave out and they burned every
thing about the launch except the hull
to keep her going. throwing in part of
their clothing.
For five days they battled with the
storm, suffering from starvation and
thirst. A ralnstorm gave them little
water, and had 1t not been for this
both would have been raving maniacs.
The men had signals of distress dis
played, and fourteen miles south of
Mazatlan tug, sent out by Brad
bury's uncle, sighted the launch. At
that time the engine had stopped and
the men We're lying in the bottom OF

PEACE WITHIN THREE MONTHS.
Tbst is Predicted as Result of the New
InllcN In Inhn.

Policy In Cuba.
New York. Nov. IA dispatch to
the Tribune from Washington says:
Important advices are expected from
Consul General Lee in Havana this
week. BY this time II is thought some
idea should be had as to whether Gen.
Blanco's policy is causing improve
ment of the condition OF the starving
rcconcentradoes The prospects OF ne
gotiations between the Spanish author
tiles and the insurgents may also be
determined by the presence OF Gen.
Lee. The lnsurgent leaders have al
ready stated Enthusiastically that they
will not accept autonomy. Little hope
Is felt in administration circles that
they will change their minds
Nevertheless, an intlmation has been
thrown out that Gen. Gomez and his
associates in the field were waiting an
opportunity to communicate with the
representatives of the United states.
Their position Is said to be that as this
country has offered its good offices 20
Spain to end the war, 1t is competent
to receive suggestion from other
parties to the war
while the insurgents have not re-
ccived recognition as belligerents, they
want to be treated MS such in making
n proposition for peace. An inkling
of their purpose has been received. This
ls to make known through the consul
general their desire to have the Uni
ted states as Intermediary with Spain
In arranging the terms of peace, but
peace on the basis of independence.
This is meant as countermoVement
to the proffer of autonomy. Spain has
already declared that Cuba cannot buy
independence. but the insurgents do
not care for that, While strengthen
ing themselves In the field they intend
TO do some diplomatic fencing.
mo special Instructions We're given
Cen. Lee, as full confidence is felt in
his discretion. a proposition from the
insurgents for the mediation by the
United states on the basis suggested
might be transmitted to Washington.
but II would hardly go further. The
feeling based on pretty accurate IN
formation is that before long both the
Sagasta Ministry and the insurgents
will be avalllnE themselves of the good
offices of this country, though just how
this will come about is uncertain.
Some sanFuine officials predict peace
within three months.

Horace whltc on NntIonnl Currency.

Washington, Nov. 14.-Mr. Horace
White, whose book upon money and
Banking" has attracted so much atten-
tion, has submitted some clear-cut an
swers to the heterogeneous of the
monetary commission urging improve
ments in the currency system of the
| United States. Mr.. White is an out
the greenbacks and the adoption of an
elastic banking currency based upon
business assets. He declares that the
silver dollars should be redeemed in
gold, and that In financial sense
there Is no difference between the sew
eral forms Of subsidiary circulation,
of which silver dollars are part The
latter, he declares. are metallic green
backs He does not believe that the
amount of circulation presented for
redemption would be any greater than
at present II silver were redeemable in
gold. In answer to the question re-
garding the maintenance of the gold
standard, Mr.. White says:
81 would recommend the redemp-
tion, retirement and cancellation Of all
leral-tcnder notes as n first step. Prob
ably the silver certificates and silver
dollars would thereafter remain Mt par
with gold like the outstanding thalers.
Of Germany and would not be pre-
scented for redemption in any consid-
able amount, being needed like the
smaller silver coins, for circulation in
retail trade. After the retirement of
the legal-tender notes we should be
able to see better what to do next"
For the purpose Of facilitating the
use Of existing silver currency, what
do you recommend as the smallest de-
nomination Of United States notes and
bank notes which should be put into
circulation"
"Thc ten-dollar- notes Mt FIRST and
this he made n matter OF experiment,
the object being to determine the d.
mensions Of circulation which will alb
sorb the currency. leaving the rest to

A TAX OPINION.

LEXINGTON, N. c., Sept 1897.
HON. w. H. WORTH, State Treasurer,
Raleigh, n. c.:
SIR-In reply 70 your letter referring
to letter of Mr.. F. o. Bunting, tax
lister in Wilmington, relative to the
taxing of incomes from North Carroll
ma railroad stock, it is my opinion-and
l give it knowing that there are able
lawyers who hold the contrary-that
incomes derived from North Carolina
railroad stock should be taxed. The
plain purpose of the law is to tax the
wealth of the country. 1t is not tax
upon the property but tax upon the
fruits of the property. 1t is tax up
on so much personal property ire
spective of It's origin. 1t taxes incomes
without regard to North Carolina Rail-
road stock and merely as one Of the
constituents of income. The position
that this case is analogous to the In
come-cases recently decided by the
United States Supreme Court is Who'll
ly untenable. l am yours,
Very Respectfully,
