Attorneys Make Unsuc- ceSSful Efforts to Head
 Off StOut'S Bill.
Now a Case of Putting Up for the Franchise or Losing
 It Altogether.
Unless a Settlement Is Soon Made the Legislature Will Finally Pass
 the Measure.
Special Dispatch to The Call.

FRANKFORT, Ky, March "A committee of attorneys of the South ern Pacific Company, headed by Alex P. Humphrey of Louisville, to-day called upon Representative German Stout of Woodford, who Is pushing the bill to repeal the charter of the South ern Pacific Company, and asked that he withdraw his bill from the Legisla- ture. Humphrey stated that the com- pany was perfecting arrangements with the State Board of Valuation and Assessments whereby it would pay a tax of nearly $6000 annually on schedule of approximating police protection; that he had been author ized by the Southern Pacific Company to pay to the State between s20,0O0 and $50, 900 back taxes. and that the com pany would continue to pay an annual tax In amount to be agreed on.
 Stout said that the bill had been ad- vanced to its third reading; that he had had the promise of the committee on rules to call the bill from the orders of the day to-day and place 1t on it's passage; that the company had refused to recognize the corporation laws of Kentucky until a suit had been filed, and seemed now disposed to disregard the law and not be answerable as other corporations under Kentucky laws. The company enjoyed all the privileges of other corporations and hence was liable. Stout further agreed not to call his bill up to-day and stat ed frankly if a bill was not reached within the next two days and the money paid that the measure would be called up and passed by the House.
 Said Stout tonight: This company has made fair promises before, and when 1t seems to think there is no remedy to reach 1t does not care. The prospects for a settlement on so small a basis will not be satisfactory to the board, but If the money is paid it will show a disposition of the company to act.'
 Stout was also in conference with the members of the Board of Valuation and Assessments. Humphrey had pre- viously held a conference with the board. Stout was shown the franchise tax fixed by the board, which had been resisted by the Southern Pacific Com pany, having hope of securing set clement on a nominal sum. The com pany is reported to be worth $20,000,- 900, at an actual value of about half this amount The franchise tax law 52s cents on each s100. The company must now pay up or suffer the conse- quences.
 Suit is now pending for s44,000 in the Fiscal Court against the company. Stout said he found practically no op- position to the bill in the House.

Grave Charge Made by an Irish
 Member in the House of
Commons

LONDON. March 7.-There was a little scene in the House of Commons during the discussion of the grant for the relief of distress in Ireland John Swift Mac Neil, anti-Parnellite member for South Donegal, charged the Government with having tried toward the end of last sum mer to check American donations. He quoted a telegram from Earl Cadogan. Lord Lieutenant of Ireland. to the cor respondent of a New York newspaper in support of his statement. Gerald Bai- four. Chief Secretary to the Lord Lieu tenant, interposed:
 NO, no. nothing of the kind. The ob- ject of the telegram was to check exag- gerated accounts of the distress"
 Mr. MacNeil repeated that the Govern ment had tried to paralyze American as- sistance in order to increase the distress and bring the Irish people into the power of the landlords. He asserted that Peel promoted the Irish famine of 1S47 in order to remove the surplus population and he demanded a reply from the Chief Secre- tary.
 Mir. Balfour declined to reply. saving that the speech of the honorable member for South Donegal answered itself
