OF the toll gates Will enhance the value
OF the real estate along the improved

It's way back into the county treasury
"The gentlemen who advocate this
scheme are of the opinion that the
county can well afford to make the
purchase. They do not propose that
me county shall assume any addi-
tional responsibility, but that the
money received because OF the higher
price paid for the ferries shall be an

WANT TOLLS ABOLISHED
Scheme Proposed to Accomplish
That End.
Truckers THINK Tim, Money Derived
From Lease OF Ferry should lie
Applied TO P"rchnso OF Toll
Roads.

y real estate dealer said to n re-
ported OF the Nirgnian-Pilot few
days ago that he thought Il scheme 10
get rid of the toll gates just outside OF
tile corporate limits of Norfolk would
be Il step along the road OF progress, far
in advance Of any project that the most
ingenious inventor could devise. He
said that not long since a gentleman
from the West was in Norfolk looking
for farm. He had the money in his
pocket 10 pay for Il tract Of land, and
lie (the real estate dealeD thought n
nice little truck farm few miles from
Norfolk would suit him.
THE TAN TOO HIGH.
The Western customer was taken out
10 the county in buggy and II mile
and i half from the city they came TO
toll gate. lie paid the toll and drove
through tile gate. ana had gone 4 short
distance when the Western man said:
Hold minute; is this the only route
from Norfolk TO the farm?'
Yes sir; this is the only road was
the reply
We'll l don't want to buy. l have
calculated that the amount that will
pay in tolls Will be about six per cent.
per annum on the cost OF the farm.
No business can stand that tax and l
VIII have to look elseWhcre."
Being told that it was almost impcs-
slblc 10 get out of Norfolk without go
Ing through Il toll gate, the man said he
would buy a farm in some other sec
ton OF the State, ana hc did.
MANY SUCH INSTANCES.
The Nirginian-Pilot is informed that
the case mentioned above is only one
of many such. and that the toll gates
are regarded as IL serious hinderance

STOCKMEN OF THE TERRITORY
Oklahoma Live stock Association in
Session at wOOdyyard-LOsses of
Cattle in Recent Storm.

WOODWARD o. T., Feb 14.-This town
is crowded with stockmen attending the
nual convention of the Oklahoma Live Stock
association. Prominent stockmen here
from all parts of the territory have been
comparing notes as to the effects on the
cattle of last weeks blizzard and cold
wave.
1t is generally conceded that first reports
were exaggerated. While there have been
reports of heavy losses in scattered herds,
the majority of the cattlemen report losses
ranging from 1 to per cent, and on the
whole 1t is not believed that losses will
reach 10 per cent on the range. The heay
lest losses seem to have occurred in herds
of southern cattle moving through the ter
rtory They were brought in late in bad
condition, and in one instance loss of
81 per cent is reported in herd OF 200
head and the remainder will die.
Thus far there has been no trading in
cattle. Buyers are here in numbers look
ing for frightened owners and expecting to
buy remnants of herds at marked down
prices, but owners are rot scared badly
enough TO make any sacrifices on prices.
The warmer weather has given them cour-
age and offerings are held strong.

CANAL BILL OFFERED AS RIDER.
Brought Us as Amendment TO Civil
Augmentation Bill.

WASHINGTON, Feb. 14.-The Nicaragua
canal bill was ordered in the house today, as
an amendment to the civil appropriation bill,
by Mr.. Hepburn of Iowa, chairman of the
committee that reported it. and the leaders
on the respective sides are engaged in
desperate struggle, which involves the fate
of the measure at this session of con-
gress.
After Mr.. Cannon, chairman OF the COM
mittee. served notice last week that there
was no time for the consideration of the
canal bill at this session the supporters of
the measure decided 10 force it on to the
sundry civil bill as a rider if possible
AS soon as it was offered this afternoon
Mr.. Cannon raised four points OF order
against it, and one OF the most interesting
parliamentary debates of the session was
on. As a rule the house leaders are able
to hold the members in line, but strong
arguments were adduced in support of the
pertinency of the amendment and, besides,
the bill has strong friends both sides
of the chamber who are seemingly ready
to adopt any eXpedient to provide for the
construction of the canal The debate on
the points of order lasted two hours today
and was not concluded. 1t promises TO
consume several hours tomorrow. 1t seems
to be a foregone conclusion that the chair
man OF the committee of the whole, Mr..
Hopkins of Illinois will sustain the points
of order so that the real test will come
on the question of overruling the chair.
Should the chair be overruled there is
no doubt that the amendment will COM
mand a majority of votes. About twenty
pages OF the bill were disposed Of today.
No important amendments were adopted.

ARMY WAS IN A TIGHT PLACE
Superior Numbers of FiIipinos mt One
Time Threatened Serious
Disaster.

NEW YORK, Feb. IA dispatch to the
Herald from Manila says: General Otis
said 10 the Herald correspondent: THE
situation is excellent now. few days ago
Filipinos under Kapunan and Doomen cam
down the river strong on the Tondo dis
trict, in the rear of General MacArthurs divi-
sion. At that time the situation was alarm
ing. l ordered an attack upon Caloocan.
The order was TO clear out the enemy, at
least in front, so we would not be taken be-
tween the Filipino army and the forces of
Kapunan and Doomen.
'Aguinaldo is collecting forces somewhere
near Polo. His present estimated strength
is 10000 How many more he win be able
to collect 1t is impossible to tell, perchance
ss many as 1900. The more he brings to-
gether the more satisfied we will be, for we
would rather have him attack us than to
have to hunt for him.
General Anderson, commanding the First
division. said General Otis. in congratu-
lating me on behalf of the First division,
said there were 5000 Flipinos opposed to my
division and that we cleared out 1000 of
them. l think we shall have to give them
another good rcking.'
General Macarthur said; The military
situation is excellent in the vicinity of
Manila. We have obtained decided strate-
gical advantages. There are remote conse-
quences which, however, depend quite as
much craftsmanship as generalship
Misapprehension as TO the terms of the
treaty OF peace with Spain, growing out of
difference in language and the previous po-
litical evolution of the Islands, make the
diplomacy of the situation Of the very first
importance. Heretofore our policy has been
considerably embarrassed by the long delay
in reaching results. Under the treaty now
We are approaching the conclusion that the
future conduct OF affairs will be much easier
and it is believed the war will be concluded
with honor and credit 10 the United States
and to the permanent benefit of the people
of the islands"
The most prominent English business men
here say that the Filipinos received a severe
lesson during the last week. Were it not
that their military leaders are men who
know they must lose all power the moment
the fighting is over and consequently are
directing the natives in the belief that they
have got the best of the front fighting, these
Englishmen do not think there would be
much trouble in bringing the Filipino gov
ernment 10 terms In the opinion of Eng
lish observers the campaign should be car
ried on energetically.

TO REPRESS THE REVOLUTION
President ZeInya of Nicaragua Or
ganizes Forces to Put Down
the Rebels.

MANAGUA, Nicaragua (via Galveston),
Feb. 14.-In spite of numerous obstacles,
chief among them being the want of tele-
graphic communication and roads, except
pack mule tracks, between Managua and
Bluefields, President Zelaya is actively or
ganizing to repress the revolution that has
broken out in the Atlantic coast provinces.
Fighting between the government troops
and the rebels under General Reyes, former
governor general of the Atlantic coast di-
vision and self-styled general in chief OF
Nicaragua, probably will begin in the tropI-
cal forests between the Cordileras and
Bluefelds. The headquarters OF the govern
ment troops is at Acoyapa, well chosen
strategic point near a branch of the river
Segovia beyond the divide while the revo-
lutionists are reported encamped near Chile.

ANARCHY RULES IN SAMOA
Constant Friction still Prevails Be-
tween the Provisional Govern
ment and British Subjects.

AUCKLAND, n. T., Feb. 4-Advices re-
ceived here from Samoa under date of
February report that anarchy and rebel
lion still prevail there. The provisional
government persists in interfering with the
British subjects and also with servants of
British residents.
The decision of the triple council in the
matter of the kingly succession is anxiously
awaited Annexation is looked upon as the
only possible solution of existing difficulties.
1t is stated that even Mataafas followers
would prefer English to German control.
The British cruiser Porpoise returned to
Apia on February / from cruise of the
Samoan group and reports having found af
fairs quiet on the other islands. The peo-
pie Of Tetula are in favor of Malietoa Tanus.
In Savaaii each claimant to the throne is
strongly supported.
Chief Justice Chanair A.. reopened his
court to hear the charges u contempt against
DR.. Joannes Rafael and Herr Fries, chief of
police. DR.. Rafael failed to appear. Mr..
Rose, the German consul, had declared that
the matter came within the jurisdiction of
his consulate. Chief Justice Chambers con-
sidered DR.. Rafael guilty OF contempt and
cited him to appear at the next term of
court, when judgment will be pronounced
He said that force would not be used to COM
pei Dr. Rafael to appear, but that the Ger
man consul could keep him in the consulate
if he chose to do so. Chief of Police Fries
was fined 500. Herr Grievesmuhl has paid
the fine of 81 900 imposed upon him by the
court
The Porpoise having been boycotted by
order of DR.. Rafael and Mataafas sentries
preventing natives from going off to the
cruiser in canoes, an apology was demanded
by the British consul, Mr. MaXse, for the at
titude assumed toward the British and also
for an insult offered to Chief Justice Cham
bers. Mataafa and his chiefs complied and
DR.. Rafael also apologized in their behalf
II is understood that everything was in
readiness on board the PorI )lse for royal
ist attack on Mataafa had apology not
been forthcoming DR.. Rafael being engaged
in organizing regiments for Mataafa formal
notice was served upon him against expend-
ing taxes for this purpose Malietoa Tanus
and Tamaseses were still on board the Por-
poise at the date of these advices.
The arrival of the United States cruiser
Philadelphia was hourly expected at Apia.
