Lansing. Mich, March 30.-The spe-
cial legislative session gives indications
of developing a much larger number OF
bills than Governor Pingree intended
when he issued his call. The members
show an inclination not to accept the
bill prepared by the governor for the
taxation of corporations as the ne plus
ultra of wisdom, and they are introduc-
ing bills of their own.
Representative Shepherd has intro
duced a bill providing that the state

retary of state. shall fix the valuation
of railroad property and levy an annual
assessment thereon of q OF one per
cent. on valuation. While this rate may
not be high enough the general purpose
of the bill meets with a good deal of
approval 1t is apparent that the gov
ernor's particular bill will encounter
hard Shedding before IL is passed.

Cleveland March 30-General Nelson

Washington. The general was accom-
panied by number of officers of the

where the big gun designed by DR..
Gatling, is being constructed. II was
for the purpose of viewing the mandrel-
ing of this gun that the board came to
Cleveland 1t is expected that this
style of gun will be an important fac
tor in coast defense, and the govern
ment deemed it best to have skilled Of
ficers on the ground while the big gun
was being internally forged. The work
on the gun was at once commenced.
Every detail was carefully watched by
General Miles, DR.. Gatling and the 9TH
ers of the party. General Miles ex-

Washington, March 30.-By direction
of General Miles, commanding the
transfer of the Twenty-fifth regiment
of infantry to the Dry Tortugas. The
fact that this regiment is made up OF
colored troops is regarded as quite sig
nificant In showing the purpose of the
war department to concentrate colored
troops in the vicinity of Cuba, inasmuch
as it is recognized that the negro is
better able to Withstand the Cuban
climate than the white man. There
are three other colored regiments in the
army. Their aggregate colored strength
Is 2,1SS. The regiments are the Twenty
fourth infantry, all at Fort Douglas,

The Only Colored Officer.
The only colored officer outside OF

Young of the Ninth cavalry. who at
present is on duty at the Wilberforce
university. The four colored chaplains
are attached to the colored regiments.
The Twenty-fifth regiment is now To-
Gated at Forts Missoula. Assiniboine
and Harris. Mont, where they have
been for the past eighteen years. There
are about 450 men in all under the COM
mand of Colonel A. S. Bird. The move
ment will begin in about two weeks
and the troops on arriving at Tortugas
will go into camp. there being no regu-
lar barracks accommodations at that
place for them. 1t was announced
some time ago that the department
would detail a company of artillery to
man the improved caliber guns, which
the ordnance bureau intends to mount
at Fort Jefferson. The colored troops
upon their arrival. ii is presumed, will
be instructed in artillery practice and
thus will be enabled in case of neces-
sity to assist the artillery company in

London, March SO.-Sir Charles Dixie

Il cannot see how war between the
United States and Spain can be avoid

that she may welcome war as the best
means of getting rid of Cuba.
1T has become such a milestone
around her neck that she must free
herself from it somehow, and to the
proud Spaniard war would be the least
disagreeable way. l do not think medi-

Mediation could only proceed on the
basis of some species of autonomy. and
