The cough, or pun, of n railway en-
CINE is due to the abrupt emission OF
waste steam up the chimney. When
moving slowly the cough can of course
be heard following slch other quite dis.
tinctly. but when speed is put on tho
puffs come out one after the other
much more rapidly. and when eighteen
coughs a second are produced they can
not be separately distinguished by tho
ear. A locomotive running at the rate
of nearly seventy miles an hour gives
out twenty pnfrs of steam every second
that is. ten for each OF its two cyl.n.
ders.

THE STATE TAX LEVY
TO BE SAME AS LAST YEAR,
Railroad Assessments Reduced but Rail
road Men Not Satisfied Governor
Adams Opposed tho Reduction.

Denver, Sept. 3O.-The state tax levy
has been fixed by the Board OF
Equalization. The approximate u.s.
sessed valuation is $1S5, 10000 The
tax revenue Is estimated at $74O,OOO.
A horizontal reduction Of 10 per cent.
on the assessed valuation of all rail-
road property IN Colorado has been
made by the State Board OF Equaliza-
lion.
This action was taken at n meeting
of the board acid In the office OF Gov
ernor Adams yesterday afternoon.
All the members of the board were
present. Representatives of the vari-
GUS railroad companies were In attend
ance and presented statistical figures
10 support their claim that the vnlua-
ton of railroad property had been In
creased, while that of nll other prop
erty had been steadily lowered during
the past tve years.
The representatives Of the railroad
companies asked for II horizontal re-
.luction of 90 per cent. This the men,
bers of the board would not listen to.
but finally agreed to IL reduction OF
10 per cent.
The decision in favor of the reduc-
ton wns not II unanimous one.
Governor Adams opposed any change
in the railroad assessments from the
beginning and protested against the
reduction to tile last. but lie WIS over
ruled by the other members of the
board.
The representatives of the railroad
companies are not satisfied with the
decision OF The board. After the meet
Ing yesterday afternoon Mr.. Freeman
announced that they would fight she
matter out In the courts. Their action
will he buSctl he said on the ground
that tho assessment upon railroad
property Is In excess Of that upon
other classes OF property which Is as
scssed by county assessors.
The tax levy will be made up US fol-
lows: ~.
General revenue 21-1G mills. agr;-
cultural college IL mill. school for
mutes 10 mill. State university Is
mill. School OF Mines Is mill. Insane
asylum 10 mill. State Normal school
1-6 mill. stock inspection department
800 mill. capitol building u mill, inter
est on insurrcctiou bonds LILO mill. IN
aggregate OF 4 Ito mills. The poll tax
Will be 81.
According to the Appropriated as
scsscd valuation of the state the tax
revenue Will be about $4,000 this
year. These figures are not exnct. as
few of the counties have not COM
plctcd their returns.
However. in npproSim1ting the state
valuation the figures of last year have
been used where returns are not com.
plctc. This places the npproximated
assessed valuation OF the state ut 1885,
100000. This IL n decrease of SS,OOO.-
600 from that of last year. when the
Tux revenues amounted TO about $751;

Springfield. ILL.,. Sept. 20.-Govcrnor

Sells silks, Filmy Laces and Lingsris
at Fabulous Prices.
A solid little fortune with simmer
ing silks filmy laces and dainty lin
gerle for it's basis. the result Of thirty
days spent In Dawson last summer. IL
the modest boast of Mrs. Nellie
Humphrey. a pretty. black-eyed young
woman who has been in Seattle prepar-
ing for another trip into the metropolis
Of the far north.
It was the quick wit. business sagac-
ity, and, last but not least, the pluck OF
Mrs. Humphrey that enabled the fair
sex Of Dawson to revel again after
months of deprivation In the frills and
fancies Of dress 80 dear to the femin-
Inc heart. That masculine pocket
books were quick to open In response
to such demands was evidenced by the
way In which Mrs. Humphreys stock
In trade disappeared. 1t melted away
as did the SHOWS in the arctic sun
shine. Mrs. Humphrey says she is
really ashamed to tell what her, goods
brought her-that 1t would be ridicu-
lous. But 1t Is fact that her entire
capital risked on the one lucky venture
did not exceed $4,000. She sailed from
Seattle last Wednesday with far larg-
er stock Of the finest goods of the kind
mentioned. Her faith In the gold fields
Ia evidenced by the fact that she says
she will stay in Dawson but four
months. and Intends to bring back to
Seattle just $1,000. Dawson's bellies
simply went crazy over Mrs. Humph-
rey's stock. and asked the price of
nothing. Here is the way the latter
tells about It.: 1.-The prices l got for
some Of my goods were simply shame
full: SO exorbitant that l can't bear to
tell OF them. But what else could you
expect when flatirons were selling for
$65 pair. brooms for SIC each, and
moose-steak cut as thin as bridal veil
for 81 an invisible pound? l was al
most forced to sell the very clothes OIL
my back. One old habit l had almost
worn out sold for $500. Several hats
brought as high as $125 each. Ladies'
shoes sold for $50 pair."-seattle

SENATOR HAnNA.s OPINION.
He Says the Philippines shonld Not Go

He Says the Philippines Shonld Not Go
Hack to Spain.
Cleveland, Ohio, Sept. 30.-The Lead.
er has from Its Washington correspon-
dent the following interview with Sena-
tor Hanna concerning the Philippine
question. Tho interview Is believed to
represent the views Of President Nc.
Kinley:
II do not know what the instructions
given to our peace commissioners are"
said Senator Hanna, but SO far as
concerns the negotiations which will be
Instituted In PAris tomorrow, can
see no other result than that Spain will
have to relinquish her sovereignty over
not only Luzon island, but the entire
Philippines archipelago.
Spain has no reason to expect to
be able to retain any portion OF the
group. She went into the war and
lost, and now ought to BIO prepared to
suffer the consequences which such u
defeat implies. l regard the Philip
pines US lost to Spain, and that being
foregone conclusion. In my opinion, the
problem which next confrOnts us re-
lates to the form of government which
we will give the islands. &C..
when the, Philippine question first
presented Itself there was strong sen.
timent among conservative, far-seeing
anu thinking men III tnlS country
which favored the retention by the
United Suites of merely a naval base
and coallng station In the islands-this
base presumably being Manila, and the
bay contiguous thereto. Since then,
however, this, sentiment apparently
hns undergone n marked change, and it
now appears that for the most part
these same men who at first believed
we should occupy Manila alone are id
vocating the termination Of Spanish
rule In the whole group.
aside from the fact that the gen.
ernl sentiment of the country seems to
be against returning any OF the Is
lands TO Spain. the United States Is I'M
der obligations to the Insurgents to es-
tablish u stable and enlightened form
Of government throughout the entire
archipelago. When the war broke ont
the Philippine Islands insurrectionlsts
became In II certain sense the allies of
the Americans, and II. therefore, Is our
moral duty to see that In the future
they will be assured safe and civilized
rule, and until the United States deter
mines In just what manner the Philip
pines ultimately shall be governed. we
necessarily will have to consider the
Philippines our wards"
