The Poll Tax Law

Sam Davis of the Carson Appeal has won
more popular honors for himself in Nevada
by knocking out the poll tax law in the
Sagebrush state. A member of his staff
was in trouble through not having paid the
obnoxious tax, and Sam went into court
in his behalf and succeeded In having the
law declared unconstitutional. Poll tax
is equally in disfavor here. and 1t is said that
at the next session of the Legislature strenu-
Gus effort is to be made to have the law re-
pealed. AS under the new county govern
ment act the assessors no longer get per-
centages out of it, there is not much use
backing it up, for the majority of people
succeed in lodging it anyhow.-Oakland

PROFESSOR GOODYEAR's LECTURE.
Traces Development of Romanesque Style
 oF

Traces Development of Romanesque Style
 of fArchitecture.
 Professor Goodyear gave the second in his series of lectures on Cathedral Architecture before the University Ex- tension center last evening, the special subject considered being '"The Roman esque Style of Architecture As in his previous lecture, the one last even ing was finely illustrated with views of some of the best examples of archi- lecture of the Romanesque style in Eu- rope. In many of these church edifices the style is not uniform, but is often composed of both the Romanesque and basilica or Romanesque and Gothic styles of architecture. Among the builders of that day uniformity, which is often inartistic, was not so much aimed at as it among our modern art ists. Unlike the workmen of to-day, those who built these mediaeval churches were not workmen merely, but artists who had sense of the beautiful. As the best specimen of Romanesque architecture several views of the cathedral at Troja were shown.

SITUA7ION IN THE EAST.
New Chinese Dynasty Said to be Likely
 Russia to Isolate Japan.


 Russia to Isolate Japan.
 London, March 12.-The Daily Chron- icle attaches importance to the follow ing dispatch from it's correspondent at Hong Kong: "The Manchus are hope less as governing dynasty and the imperial court is likely to migrate to Shan Si province. The increasing im- periaI demands upon the provincial governments cannot continue and it is possible the result will be a new Chi nese dynasty in Central China with a capitol at Nankin. If British protec- tion is refused to this arrangement other powers are willing to accord theirs.
 London, March 12.--The Daily News publishes this morning suggestive in- terview on the Chinese question with Dr. Markoff, the Russian expert. Dr. Markoff repudiated the idea that Rus sia intended to annex Manchuria, al- thought he thought there was no doubt that would come about a century hence. "Russia's present aims" he said, "are merely to obtain a free port to conserve as terminus to her rail- way system to isolate Japan and devel- op the vast commercial wealth of Chi ma. It is absolutely to curb Japanese ambition. If Japan is allowed to join farces with China the white races are doomed Russians argued war with Japan is invitable.'

 Watching the Wreckers.
 Havana, March 1.-The court of in- quiry did little to-day, spending much of the time watching the wreckers at work. Captain Sampson is better. thought not yet quite himself. Com mander Converse and Captain Sigsbee were in consultation with the court, though not officially. Rear Admiral Sicard has telegraphed Consul General Lee that the Fern will be at Matanzas tomorrow morning with thirty tons of relief supplies. After unloading she will go at once to Sagua la Grande with twenty tons. A large ship could not go up the river to Sagua, but would have to lighter her cargo seven miles tut. The Fern will be able to ascend as she is of light draught. The fine imposed on the Anita was removed by the government when it was found her papers were satisfactory.

NEw HAVEN BICYCLE ONION.
First Meeting of the Year Held in yeru
 Hall.


 Hall.
 The first meeting of the year of the New Haven Bicycle union was held in Veru hall last night. President Morris F. Tyler was chairman and although the attendance was not large, there was a deal of interest manifested. Af- ter hearing the reports of both the sec- retary and treasurer, both of which showed the union to be in flourishing condition, w. H. Butricks, chairman of the committee on roads, made a short but important report. He stated that several conferences had been held with the director of public works and that that official had promised to give the committee all the assistance in his power. MT. Butricks further reported that more attention should be paid to repairing the smaller defects in the streets of the city. He said if the lit- tie defects in the streets, when noticed, were immediately repaired much money would be saved.
 Highway Commissioner Macdonald was then introduced by President Ty- Ter and made a short but important address, laying particular stress on the principal point of MT. Butrick's re- port, that of watching the small de- fleets in the streets and roads and re- pairing them as soon as discovered. He said that the question of repairs was not given as much consideration as 1t deserved. Holes or defects in macadam roads are hard to be detected because of the failure of those in charge to keep them clean and free from mud and other refuse. It would be splendid if each wheelman would constitute himself a committee of one to look out for these defects and put himself in communication with the proper officials. Thousands of dollars can be saved by a careful inspection of the pavements by the men who use them most.
 A vote of thanks was rendered Mir Macdonald for his address and also President Tyler for his hard and effl- cient work during his term of office. Several other matters of street inn provements were discussed but no ac- tion taken. 4 nominating committee consisting of A. B. Hill, E. s. Bristol and E. R. Sargent was appointed, which will report at a special meeting to be called soon.

COST OF 4 ASPANISE-AlIERIC VAR
London Statist Shows How it Would be
 Costly to United States.


 London, March 1.-The Statist to- day discusses the financial side of a possible Spanish American war. Af- ter pointing out the expense of hur- riedly creating an American army and strengthening the navy, it agrees that the United States will eventually ob- tain command of the sea, adding: Then if Spain submitted, the expen- allure would rapidly end and the war might not cost very much" Continu- ing the Statist remarks: But if Spain prolonged the contest the United States would find itself in an embarrassing position. The creation of @ large army to drive Spain out of Cuba would mean a very considerable expense and if ac- complished what would the United States do with Cuba? Lastly, if Spain then refused to submit, would America after capturing the Spanish West h. dies, extend the war to Europe? The collapse of Spanish credit might force her to peace; but if Spain simply de- faulted her debt and devoted the money she could raise in any way to protract- ing the struggle the cost to the United States would certainly be very great"

 ''We do not want lot of vessels that other nations contracted to be built and then find are not up to expectations. The fact is notorious that there are not great many really good vessels to be had, but I should not be surprised If we were able to get at least a half dozen formidable ones.
