Gov. Smiths scheme tor increas-
= Ig the revenue OF the state is brief.
ly this:
Gov. Smith would have the legis-
laiurc pass an amendment to the
corporation tax law providing that
any nonresident, who shall here
after become resident of Vermont,
shall have the privilege of entering
into a contract with the state tor Il
term OF say thirty years, whereby
the taxes of such persons shall be
fixed at a specific sum annually,
such sum to be measured by per.
ccntagc Of their sworn incomes, or
to be IN amount agreed upon be-
tween a commission appointed by
the legislature and the parties avail
ing themselves of this law. This
tax is to be paid into the state treas
ury, the same as the corporation tax,
and any real estate tax assessed is to
be deducted from this state tax.
Gov. Smith recommends that the
privilege be limited to persons will
ing to pay the state at least $500 per
annum, and that bond be required
to secure the payment of the tax
specified during the term OF the con-
tract.
One objection urged to this APP
parently fruitful scheme is that some
expense would be incurred in pro.
tecting the property of incoming
millionaire "tax dodgers" as in
other states, and that nominal tax
would not cover the cost and yield
visible revenue to the state. The
success of such a scheme would
seem to be us uncertain as an ex-
pansionist's claims for the benefits
oriental empire. 1t is a problem
that Ncrmonters will probably not
care to face.

Randolph votes for high license.
The Herald of that town took a
''straw ballot" on the question of
prohibition or license. Every one
of the III men asked to vote secret
~ responded and the result was as
follows: For high license with
local option, 1902; against high
license. So; for referendum, 81.
The Herald says:
"This poll was taken with abso-
lutte fairness and unquestionably rep
rcscnts the real sense of the voters
of that town on this great question.
The result is of course surprising.
even to most believers in license.
Randolph is regarded as one of the
strongest temperance towns in the
state, and Justly so. That so large
proportion of its voters should
take their stand in favor of license
shows how the present law fails to
satisfy the people"

large bird that he saw lowering
over his hen yard. One wing was
broken and it fell to the ground and
before he could make Il prisoner of

seen in that section for years. The
bird is splendidly marked and meas
ures seven feet from tip to tip.

however, all public celebrations were
dispensed with out of respect to the
memory of Mr.. Gladstone.

Spanish Troops for Ceuta.

Gibraltar, May "a. - Monday after
noon the Spanish steamer Rabat, of the
Compania Transatlantic line, en-
parked a battalion at Algeciras, on the
west side of the bay of Gibraltar, and
sailed for Ceuta, Morocco, opposite
Gibraltar. Ceuta has many points of
resemblance to Gibraltar. 1t is the
chief of the Spanish presidios on the
African coast, the residence of mil
itary governor, is well supplied with
water, and, if properly garrisoned can
be made all but impregnable. The
governors residence and the citadel are
strongly fortified. The elevation is so
great that the mountain was called by
the ancients one of the Pillars of Her
cules, the rock of Gibraltar, on the other
side of the strait, being the other.

San Francisco, May 26.-The Philip
pine relief expedition sailed Wednesday
at five p. m, and in six days, if all goes
well, the vessels will enter Honolulu
harbor and join the Charleston. The
three transports carried close on to o.
500 men. The expedition, which is I'M
der command of Brig. Gen. Anderson,
consists of four companies of regulars
under command of Maj. Robe; the First
regiment California volunteers, Col.
Smith; the First regiment Oregon vol
unteers, Col. Summers; battalion of

100 sailors, and II naval officers. The
fleet is loaded with supplies to last a
year and carries big cargo of am
munition and naval stores for Admiral
Dewey's fleet. The Zealandia is being
prepared to carry soldiers, but none of
the other transports are in port. 1t is
thought here the feet that left here
Wednesday will not keep company with
the Charleston after leaving Honolulu.
They all carry enough to coal to steam
at full speed from Honolulu to Manila,

London, May 26.-The Madrid cor

report that Rear Admiral Sampson and
Commodore Schley, with their COM
bined squadrons, are now in front of
Santiago de Cuba, blockading Admiral
Cervera. Ministers consider that San
tiago possesses sufficient defenses to
render null and void any aggressive &C
ton the enemy may take. The position
of the American squadron will cause
the government to take immediate ac-
ton, though it is unknown as yet what
form this action will assume.
Washington, May 26.-Official dec
laration is made that the cables at San

gence that caused gloom at Madrid.
