Englishman, named John Hall, who
came as saloon passenger on the
Dominion line steamer Labrador, which
arrived this morning from Liverpool, was
arrested on the wharf by Detective Power
on q warrant charging him with EN-
bezzlement of four pound nine shillings
from a wholesale tea and tobacco firm of
LONDON by whom he had been employed
as drummer. Hall, who, is only "a
years old, took his arrest coolly. He
acknowledged that he was the right man
and said there was small shortage in his

thing considerable.
The prisoner will be held until the ar
rival of necessary legal documents from
England. He belongs to Bradford and
has a first class ticket for Winnipeg.

MICHIGAN LEGISLATURE.
1T Assemblies at the Call of Pingree,
Who Is After Corporations.

LANSING, Mich, March 22--The Michi-
gan Legislature assembled this afternoon,
having been called by Governor Pingree to
consider the Governors proposed measures
for increasing taxes upon railroads. express,
telegraph and telephone companies. In the
Senate protests were entered against Sena-
tors Covell and Preston Reps) and Sena-
tor Hughes (Dem.) continuing in their seats.
The two former had been appointed to fed
eral offices and the latter had moved from
his district Covell and Preston are anti
Pingree Republicans while Hughes favors
the Pingree taxation BILL 1t is considered
improbable that the Pingree measures will
pass the Senate unless radically amended
Governor Pingree read his corporation
leading points were that the trainers of the
state Constitution intended that all taxes
be based on the cash value of the property
that taxes should be levied upon public
franchises as we'll other property; that
the present system of specific taxes upon
railway earnings is unsatisfactory and
wrong; that the tax upon Michigan rail-
roads has been less than quarter of l per
cent upon their own sworn valuations, and
less than one-eleventh of the percentage
paid by other taxpayers. The Governor rec
ommends authorization of appointment OF
a state board TO make equitable valuation
of the property of such corporations at their
cash values and to assess them at the aver
age rate of all the taxes. A bill was intro
duced covering all these points.
