TAX ON THEATBR COMPANIES.
There may be some question this win
Ter dn regard to the theater attractions
which had been booked by Manager Mart
ling for the coming season. He has Sc
cured some very fine ones, but the war
tax may cause good many of them to
stay oSt of the state. Fef people are
aware that Uncle Sam has put a levy on
all travelling attractions and troupes. 1t
costs each company 500 for the season
or $40 for each state If the whole amount
IS not paid. OF course those companies
who can afford to buy a license good TO
show in any state will not be dandi-
capped, but others unquestionably win be.

ing elected at the present time by the
press in New York regarding the new law.
HUNG ON A MEAT PRESERVER.
In 1862 a company of Kansas soldiers
were stationed and established a fort at
the foot Of the Elk mountains. a spur Of
the Medicine Ben in Wyoming, writes an
old soldier of Wichita The name of
the fort was Halleck. 1t was on the line
of the overland stage route from Atchison
10 San Francisco. The Ben Holiday
stage line. This company was stationed
there for the protection of the stage line
from depredations of the Ute Indians.
One day the Indians raided the station
at Rock Creek and in the melee a prison
er was taken, dressed in the garb of an
Indian. He was a New Yorker. a white
man, educated and good address. He
went by the name of Bill Cornstalk. He
was given a drum-head courtmart!al by
non-cOmmissioned officers; they retured a
verdict that ne should be hanged The
company has erected a fork and placed a
long. slim pole in it like an old fashioned
mill sweep, with a large boulder TO it on
which they hung their fresh meat-to
preserve it by pulling the pole down,
fastened the meat 10 it. letting it swing
up and it would reach a height of twenty
feet, the weight beng heavy enough to
carry up go pounds at a time In the
absence Of a gallows and no limbs handy
they concluded to improvise their meat
preserver. The swing was pulled down,
the moose was made fast TO the prisoner
with an extra amount of slack. When ad-
3usted all hands let 60 He was a small |
light man and was thrown the full length |
of the rope above the pole, coming down

FACTIONS IN THE SENATE.
That body II Devided ON the Cuban
Situation - Prospect of
Lengthy Discussion.

Washington. April IA debate which
occurred in the executive session OF the
senate late Tuesday afternoon would In
dictate that no matter what was the charac-
ter Of the resolution to come from the COM
miftee on foreign relations the resolution
would cause a serious and perhaps pro-
longed discussion. IL emphasized the fact
that there are two elements in the senate
-one for independence with intervention.
another for Intervention alone-and these
two factions will fight vigorously for their
idess.
The relations of the United States with
Spain was the uppermost topic In the ex-
ecutlve session and constituted the sub
Ject OF many conferences among senator's
The activity was due TO the announcement
that the presidents message would rec
ommend the adoption OF policy looking
TO Intervention In Cuba on the part OF the
executive branch OF the government rather
than the recognition OF Independence. and
10 an effort TO make smooth the way for
the reception OF such report.
The executive session was devoted to a
general discussion OF the policy TO oe pur-
sued towards Spain. ana deveioped the
fact that much opposition would be made
to the acceptance OF policy In line with
the presidents desires. The question was
raised by Senator Allen, who made long
speech predicting much dissatisfaction In
the country at largo with a policy on the
part OF the executive that did not 20 TO the
extent or giving the Cuban's their entire
independence OF the mother country.
Senator Allen was followed by other
speakers In the same line. and the fact was
made very evident that II the committee
on foreign affairs should bring In resolu-
ton merely complying with the presidents
request and stopping short or declaration
for independence there would be an EFFORT
in the senate TO amend IL so as TO accom-
plish this end. Indeed the announcement
was made by more than one senator that he
would offer such an amendment and by
many more that they would support an effort
In the direction OF adding the Independence
declaration TO a resolution providing sim
ply for Intervention. The committee was
therefore urged not to yield TO the wishes
or the president. but to stand out strongly
for complete action. The policy OF the
president for executive Intervention only
was criticised as one which would place
the entire question In the hands OF the
president, and thus leave the matter where
II now is. except that IL would be a volun-
tary REIMBURSEMENT OF the right OF con-
gress In the premises--the right among 9TH
ers To declare war.
The greater part OF the speechmaking
