The city of Atlanta, Ca, has
adopted a plan for the collection
of taxes that seems to be giving
great satisfaction and is consid-
cred vastly superior to the old
method. The taxes were former
ly payable on the goth of Sep
TENDER of each year and in antic-
ipatiOn Of the annual collection
the city would borrow the need
ed funds through the spring and
summer at a high rate Of inter-
est. By the new plan the taxes
are BILE i'll installments, one
fourth in April, one-fourth in Ju-
ly and the balance in October.
AS a consequence the taxes have
never before been SO fully and
promptly collected and the city
has saved from $4,000 to s., 900 in
interest on money formerly Dor
rOWed to meet expenses, pending
the collection Of taxes. The
plan is worthy the consideration
of our local legislators.

Jacksonville, which is the re-
cognized metropolis of Florida,
shows gratifying gains in her
commercial growth for the year
1897. The record is a splendid
one and her shipment of lumber
a very gra tifying one, amounting
to over 1O1, 100000 feet, or over
$4,000, 900 in excess Of 1896. Her
export lumber business was over
100000 feet, or 100000 in ex-
cess Of 1896. Number of vessels
entering her port were 463,
against 800 in 1896. Here is food
for thought: Importations of flour
for 1897 show a decrease, as COM
pared with the year previous, of
13, SO. barrels, sugar a decrease
Of 20, $40 barrels, oil decrease of
8,O77 barrels, bacon an increase of
9,843 packages, and hay de-
crease of 3r,1O3 bales. Coal is
about 1000 tons more than in
1896, and the unclasslfied pack
ages Of freight were III, O1O more
in 1897 than in 1896

Utah Senator DenOunces the Indian
Leasing Scheme.
SPECTATORS BEHIND II
WILL COST THE GOVERNMENT
TEN MILLION DOLLARS.
Declared It Was Far Graver Matter
Than the Annexation of Hawaii
Pettigrew Resumes His Argument
Against Annexation-McEn
Vigorous Speech In Opposition.

Washington, June 23.-Discussion in
the senate of the Hawaiian annexation
question was interrupted today by Mr..
Rawlins of Utah, with a speech in
which he criticised vigorously the pro-
vision embodied in the conference report
on the Indian appropriation bill, which
acknowledges the right of Indians to
lease mineral lands on-atheir reserva-
lions. He declared that it was a far
graver matter than the annexation of
the Hawaiian islands, as ii would in
vclve the cession to the Indians of the
mineral rights in territory exceeding
80, 600, 600 acres of land, not including
the territory of Alaska. He charged
that spectators had obtained already
leases to much of these lands, and if the
provision proposed by the committee
was adopted, the government would
lose SO, zoo, 900.
1t was 1 o'clock when the Hawaiian
resolution was called up. and Mr.. Pet
tigrew of South Dakota resumed his
senate for about two hours. In the
course of his argument, which was
forceful and interesting, because he had
made a personal investigation of the
subject, he maintained that the harbor
of Kiska, on the island of Great Kiska,
owned by the United States, would
make much better coaling station for
our navy than Honolulu, as it was in a
more direct line with this country to
the Philippines than the Hawaiian is

HARD FIGHTING AHEAD.
Sampson May Enter the Harbor and
Take a Hand

Washington, June 23.-The impress
sion here is that the Spaniards will
make their strongest stand close to
Santiago, and the inner harbor. with
in the range of protection of the guns
of the big Spanish warships lying
there. There is no doubt that until
these ships are removed from the field
of operations, the campaign against
Santiago will be conducted against
odds. The guns of the ships command
the hills over which our soldiers must
come to attack the town and reach the
bay, but we will soon bring our own
artillery into play. The naval officials
here believe that when the time comes
for an attack by the land upon the
town, Sampson will force his way into
the harbor and take part in the en-
gagement. They are satisfied that the
wreck of the Merrimac does not COM
pletely block the channel, and that if
Sampson does not come in the Spanish
fleet is likely to make a desperate eff
fort to get out. The mines are to be
considered in such a case, but it is
believed that once MORO castle is
taken by the combined attack of the
