STATISTICS AS TO RICHES.
Latest Compilation by Labor Com
missioner Powers.

Labor Commissioner Powers has been pre-
pairing figures in relation to the taxation of
real estate in this state, hoping to show
whether the rich or the poor pay the high
est rate Of taxation.
comparison Is made between the prices
at which certain property is valued in the
sheriffs certificates Of mortgage sales and
the valuation recorded on the books of the
assessor.
This report nominally makes high rate
of assessment for the very rich and the very
poor, while the moderately well-to-do have
the best Of it. Comparisons are made on
property on which the sale value was from
$500 or less to $4,000 or over.
1t will be seen by the following table that
the ratio of the assessment to the sale price
under foreclosure is highest on the property
valued at 81, 900 or less On amounts rang
ing from $1,000 to $1,000 the ratio is about
even, the assessed value ranging but a trif1e
over 70 per cent of the sale value, against
137 per cent for amounts under $500 and 90
per cent for amounts between $500 and 81 0O0
Then again on amounts from SIS, 900 to $40, 900
the ratio is SO per cent, and on amounts over
$4,000 it is 80 per cent.
Commissioner Powers has not fully account
ed yet for the heavy ratio of taxes paid
by the very rich but he holds 1t a fair
presumption that their property was large
ly of a speculative class, and the loans they
were able to make upon it were much small
er than those made by other people upon i'm
proved property.
The following table shows the ratio OF as
sessments to values as recorded in the sher-
ifs certificates Of sale for the state at large:

AGUINALD0 DANGEROUS
THREATENS TO GIVE GEN. MER-
RIFT MUCH TROUBLE

Attitude Assumed by Insurgents at
Manila Similar 10 That of Gen.
Garcin's Followers in Cuba-FiI-
ipinOs Are Much Stronger Than
the Cubans-Gen. Merritt Pre-
pairing to Attack City of Manila.
WASHINGTON, Aug. 1.-Gen. Mer-
rift has again cabled the war depart
ment relative to the situation in Ma
Mia, which he finds very unsatisfac-
tory and dangerous, owing to the at
titude of the insurgents. In the opinion
of Gen. Merritt, the attitude of the
insurgents there is similar to that as
sumed by Garcia's Cubans upon the
question of their right to enter and
possess themselves of the city, al
though in this case the insurgents are
very much more formidable element,
being not only more numerous, but bet
ter armed and filled with the arrogance
following numerous victories over their
Spanish foes. Gen. Merritt, however,
indicates that he will do his utmost to
protect the citizens from the savagery
of the insurgents, though his task is a.
delicate and difficult one, because of
the fact that he must, while fighting
the Spaniards, be ready at any mo-
ment to repel the insurgents.
PREPARING TO ATTACK.
The general gave notice that he was
about to combine with Admiral Dewey
in a joint demand for the surrender of
the city to the United States forces,
thus forestalling the insurgents, and
this move may cause a rupture. 1t is
possible, in view Of the fact that Gen
Merritt'S cablegram was sent from
Cavite last Thursday, that this move
ment has been made already by the
combined American military and naval
forces, although there is some doubt
about this on account of a statement
from Merritt that he may need all of
his soldiers before attacking. Still it
is possible that the demand might be
made without being Immediately fol-
lowed by an attack, which might be
deferred until all the troops have
reached EaVite.
MERRITT'S FORCE.
Up to the date of the report, Cen
Merritt had with him 1900 soldiers.
SO far, seven expedition have left San
Francisco carrying soldiers to the
Philippines, and it is the intention to
furnish Merritt at least 5000 more
than his present force If he delays
his attack until these have reached
him. Manila will. not be taken IN that
way before September, for the last Of
the troops have not yet started from
San Francisco. 1t may be, however,
that the arrangements as to the Phil
lppines. which it is expected will be
Included in the peace treaty, will obvi-
ate the necessity of further action on
the part of the American commanders.

lppines. They have important dis
patches from Gen. Merritt and Admiral
Dewey. Secretary Alger admitted the
significance of these dispatches, but de-
clined to state their exact nature.

ENGLISH SHOPS SUFFER
WAR HAS SERIOUSLY CUT INTO
TRANSATLANTIC TRAVEL
SO Says Hugh Morrison. Of Glasgow,
Scotland, Who Was "a Guest mt the
windsor Last Evening The
Americans Are Not Spending
Their Money Abroad This
Year.

Hugh Morrison, of Glasgow, Scot
land. sat in the corridor of the Wind
sor last night and talked about the
war with Col. Monfort A lot of peo-
pie sit about and talk with Col. Mon
fort, but he does not often get for a
guest a big, handsome Scotchman
right out OF Glasgow, who knows some
thing of the world and whose feelings

ing on is evidenced by an American

Mr.. Morrison is a prominent mer-
chant of Glasgow, and he says that
his fellow citizens of the best gov
erned city of the world feel Just as he
does about the Spanish war. They are
heartily and wholly with the Ameri-
cans, land" he says, 'if the occasion
existed that would prove their sincerity
by helping to furnish the sinews Of
war, it is not always easy to enlist
the sympathies of the Britisher to the
extent of opening his purse, but that
would be the easiest thing in the world
to do now.

that time the people were still talking
about and even congratulating them
selves on the victory Of Dewey at Ma
nila. 1t seemed as though it was a
matter of personal and national pride,

Asked if the war had had an appre-
ciable effect on the foreign trade of
Glasgow, Mr. Morrison said that it
had, of course.
I'VE have large trade with the
West Indies. and, of course, the war
has cut off a considerable portion of
it. My idea, though, is the great dam

people on the other side-this Ameri-

everybody else are suffering directly
from this phase Of the consequence of
the war
I'll tell you what" said Col. Mon
fort, eff I had my way that travel
would be kept at a minimum always.
1 think that, instead of putting stamps
on commercial papers to raise revenues,
a $100 stamp should be required on ev-
cry ticket sold to an American going
abroad for pleasure. That is where
the tax ought to apply"
''Well," said the Scotchman, 81 can't
be expected to indorse that proposal,
because we need the Americans and
their money on the other side. You've

people, but you must not shut off re-

You must remember that if it were
