 There is also considerable opposition to the bond feature of the bill on the Democratic side, and whether with unanimity or --ot, a motion will un- doubtedly be made to strike it out. MT. Bailey, however, is understood to recognize the necessity for an authori- Zation for borrowing money. Some of the Populists desire an authorization for an issue of greenbacks The bond feature of the bill will probably be bit terly attacked.
 The whole week in the House is likely to be given largely to the consideration of war measures, but some time will probably be consumed in disposing of two election cases and other minor matters. Possibly the general def- ciency bill might be taken up before the week closes

The Hudsonian doctors give their advice free, and they willingly send circulars showing what wonders the "3o-day blood cure" has accom- plished. It is as swift as safe. It cures all blood taint. No matter who says you cannot be cured never despair.

BROUGHT DOWN THE DUST
The Danube Arrives From ST. Michaels.
Many Steamers Stranded in the
Yukon River Experienced
Heavy Weather.

Victoria. Sept. 2I-The steamer Da-
nube arrived to-day from st. Michaels,
Alaska, with 1876 passengers from the
Klondike and gold dust estimated by
the purser at one-quarter Of a million.
The gold was by nc mean equally di-
vided. 1t all belonged to a favored few.
The names Of the lucky ones are Major
Morgan, William Bateman. r. Sinclair.
J. Jones, James Winters, j. Erickson,
+. Gierson. j. $. Lusk and J. NJ. Sloan.
Among the Danube's. passengers who
came down the Yukon on the steamer
Yukoner. was w. III. Calvin, the we'll
known Klondike millionaire, whose riv-
err steamers, built at a Francisco,
never reached the Yukon. The price
paid was $50, 900. Captain TaCkaberry,
Purser Price and all the officers and
crew of the Yukoner were passengers TO
Victoria on the Danube. Purser Price
reports that on the way down the river
the Yukoner passed as river steamers,
small and large. bound for Dawson.
Four were ashore. and the Yukoner
spent time unsuccessfully endeavorlng
to draw them from the grip of the sand
bars, which so tightly hel2 them. Three
OF the vessels aground were the Clara,

japanese Light, one of the Moran
steamer Three other larger vessels
were seen ashore at the Yukon's mouth,
the Robert Kerr, the Power and the
Marguerite. The river wds still naviga-
BILE when the Danube sailed, but was
low in places. Besides the Nukoner,
which was preparing to start for Daw-
son i'm her new service, three vessels
were getting ready to go up the river,
the Arnold. w. II. Evans and a Moran
steamer. The ocean steamers Bertha
and Alpha were preparing to ollow the
Danube southwark.
The Danube left ST. Michaels Sept. IA
and Dutch Harbor on the 18th. At
Dutch Harbor the schooner Ocean Belle
was seen. and from her il was learned
that the sealing vessel ordered home
under seizure was the schooner Otto,
the top liner of the fleet. She was said
to have been within the prescribed linn
it's. The Otto, Captain Gooze, is a 90
ton vessel. with all white crew. The
schooner Ida Eta had sailed for Vic
toria a few days before the Danube ar
rived.
Like the Amphion. the Danube expert
enced heavy weather. but came out OF
the heavy seas without damage. She
will not go back to St. Michaels. Her
next trip will be to Lynn canal ports.

The People Want n Reduction in
EXpenscs.
lr oil Nd Dispatch:

To the Editor of the Dispatch:
We should uphold our present Legis-
lature in the apparent effort 10 reduce
public expenses. This can certainly be
done very materially if the members Of
the Legislature are in earnest
1t is a shame to our State that Tennes-
see North Carolina, Georgia, and prob
ably many other States-possibly all
other-can administer their government
so much more wisely than we do.
Every expense should be reduced to a
basis that would be equitable at the
present enhanced value of money. Sala-
ries and all appropriations are much too
high under present conditions. A reduc-
tion of - or 20 per cent. would not be I'M
reasonable or unfair to those who are
serving the State.
The agriculturist would gladly accept
for his produce only 20 per cent less
than he received for it a decade or two
ago. / think the members of the Legis-
lature know the facts. and the people
hope that they may have the nerve and
the patriotism TO apply the knife. and
cut down every expense so that the bur
den upon the people may be only a rea-
sonable one.
A wholesale cutting down Of appro-
pratons should be made with one single
exception-that for pensions for our old
soldiers. Their claims have never been
generously recognized by us.
Our highways must be improved. II
we are not willing for our old State 10
lag behind every other. This cannot be
done without great economy in our pub
lie expenditure. We must not permit
our roads to be a disgrace to US. while
the State is spending every year its mill
lions. There is no question as 10 the
fa.ig 90 1s...r 4 l.
we may be able 10 use our convicts upon
our highways.
The cities are in favor of a State read
law, and we in the country should not
seem unwilling with their aid 10 improve
the roads in front of our very doors
i hope the Dispatch will be flooded with
communications showing the interest the
people take in matters TO come before
the Legislature. Let us .show our legis-
lators very clearly the wants and wishes
Of the people. II.

nuMoRs or BEER WAN DENIED.
None of the Local Agents Place Gree
dcnce In the Reporf.

A very emphatic denial has been en-
tered by local brewers. hotel and saloon
men Of the rumor that a big beer war
had begun here. The report gained cur
rency with the arrival OF representatives
OF the Pabst Brewing Company upon the
field. but the tickle dame proved 10 be az
many sided as she always IL. II was al
legged that the Pabst Company had como
here TO dispute the field with the An
heuser-Busch people. and later II was as
serted that the new arrival would pur-
chase the Bergncr & Engel agency here,
and remove their headquarters from
Canal and Adam streets TO the more
pretentious Offices OF the Philadelphia
concern az Hancock and Marshall.
one thing. however. Is absolutely GER
tain and that is that II beer war Is on
the salcon-men. who would be the first to
feel the beneht OF an aggressive competi-
ton, are not aware Of the fact.
RUMOR WITHOUT FOUNDATION
Mr. Henry Burch. who is organizing the
iabst Branch said 10 a Dispatch man
yesterday hat there was absolutely no
foundation for the rumOrs afoat His
firm has turned its eyes I'm the direction
Of Richmond for several years as oiter-
ing a fair field. and the ground has been
carefully gone over. The idea OF entering
into an aggressive competition with the
Anheuser- busch people was never con-
sidered. and such thing as "A rate war
would not be entertained. In positive
terms. Mr.. Lurch denied that the pur-
chase of the Bergncr K Engel agency
was in contemplation. and he added that
when the branch was moved from it's
present temporary quarters, il would be
TO a point along the Chesapeake and
Ohio railway. over which system ship
ments are now made from the Milwaukee
factory.
Mr.. Joseph Stumpf. manager of the
Anheuser- Busch agency. was equally en-
phatic in his denial that any war
was on the tapis. His firm, which has
done a very large business here for many
years, would not. he said. enter rate
cutting contest. The product Of these two
companies stand at the head Of the list
Of American beers. and command the
highest price. That there Will be
healthy rivalry and a lively competition
for trade is only natural. The Anheuser-
Busch Company has done an immense
business here for number Of years,
and the Pabst Company, backed with
splendid reputation, has had a hattering
reception.
WHAT MR.. LOEFFLER SAYS.
Mr.. Charles Loeffler. manager of the
Richmond Branch OF the hergner q
Engel brewery, denies that the firm he
represents contemplates disposing Of their
interest here. which is quite a large one.

negotiations towards such an end, for
had there been, he would have been
among the first to hear 81 it.

that at least he was I'm this country and

II Senator Murphy was any more active
I'm the campaign than he. He says that
he went TO Chicago TO try TO defeat

entirely within party lines. When his
counsel was disregarded. he returned TO
his home and went down with the Demo
cratic flag Conceding that Mr. Croker
will have all the delegates from the en-
larged city in the next State convention.
AIR HIPS friends say he will still be
nfty-two votes short Of a majority. 1t has
been ascertaned that the Murphy-Croker
combination is throwing out lines in
Rensselaer,. Erie, and other counties.

retain his control OF the state on the part
OF ex-senator Hi and Mr.. Croker's at
tempt TO wrest it from him are decidedly
interesting.

Taxation of Personal Property

To the Editor of the Dispatch:
7 WAS much impressed by reading your
valuable editorial in to-days paper upon
the subject of taxation of personal pro-
pertv in Virginia. This is an interesting
subiect. / should like to call your at
tention to the following: Under our laws
except where specially excepted the capl-
tai stock of a chartered company IS haDie
to taxation against the company. and the
shares Of stock are also taxable IN the
hands of individuals. See 80 virginia
Reports. page $50 This is double taxa
lion. All manufacturing establishments
in virginia must pay the taxes assessed
against Them and then the shareholders
are required to pay on the value OF lhei
holdings. This looks unjust and il IS
very hard to convince a shareholder that
the State has N right 10 tax his dlstrlDu-
tive interest i'm the company, aiter the
latter has paid the full tax assessed
against it, But our Court OF Appeals
has decided that the company ana snare
holders must both pay. This is certainly
not encouraging to business enterprises.
If ten men hold a tract Of land as indi-
viduals. they pay but one tax, but as
soon as they make a company, ana the
land stands in the name OF the company,
then the taxation is simply doubled. Ana
so i'm the case Of a grocery company OF
an iron company. or any other enterprise.
orr statutes make some special excep-
lions as to the general rule, as above
stated: thus building and loan associa-
lions pay but one tax, and the snare
holders are exempted See Acts 1885 3d.
chapter 633. / believe that under our
statutes banks pay tax on their capt.
raj stock. and the shareholders are eX-
empted but ] cannot place my hand on
the act. There may be other exceptions.
In regard to the contemplated act re-
curing all notes, bonds, debts, etc, 10 be
listed for taxation before the courts shall
give any relief TO the holder, it will be
found very difficult to make such law
effective even if il be constitutional. 1t
would only affect some Of the smaller
creditors. as all large debts would be
transferred TO other States TO avoid the
taxation. In your editorial referred TO
Won mention the absurdly low valuation
placed in the counties upon tangible per-
sonal property, but this is often the case
with real estate, as. for instance, in the
case of suburban real estate, where lands
worth $500 an acre are valued for taxation
at $50 or 500 per acre. In the cities, as
a rule. the pressing municipal needs give
the State the full value of lands for taxa
ton. as both city and State taxes are
based upon the same valuation. The zeal
of our legislators in reducing expenses
and increasing revenues is most patriotic
and commendable; they are on the right
track. ClNICOS.
