Richmond, Va. Nov ga move
ment has been started by the leading
bankers and business men of Richmond
to test the constitutionality of the Act
of Congress imposing a tax of 10 per
cent upon the issues of State Bank
notes. A committee composed of r.
A. Lancaster, Joseph Bryan, John H.
Williams, T.. b. Addison and w. Nj
Habliston, has been formed, and they
have retained William l.. Royal as
counsel, to take n test case to fhe Su-
preme court Of the United States. it is
believed, it is stated, that the way has
been opened to have the act declared un-
constitutional by the income tax decision
of the Supreme court The committee
will associate with Mr.. Royal some OF
the most eminent counsel in the Uni
ted States when the case comes on for
argument in the Supreme court. The
committee invites all persons who feel
an interest in the subject to send con-
tributions towards the expense of the
litigation to Colonel William I'll. Pal
mer, of Richmond, who will be the
treasurer of the fund.

Will Strengthen the GOebel Law.

Frankfort Ky, Nov 2S.-G2vernor
Bradley denied tonight that he had been
informed by President Mckinley that
troops would be furnished if asked for
and declined to say whether he had con-
wounded several men of the naval brig
aid.
Instead of repeating the Goebel cleo
tion law, which was the chief issue in
the late Gubernatorial campaign, as Re
publican leaders hoped to do by an alli-
ance Of Republicans and anti-Goebel
Democrats, Democratic leaders assert
that the law will not only be maintained,
but will be strengthened by some inn
portant amendment. One of these, it is
said, will be the removal of the devices
ON the official ballot and requiring that
a voter scratch out the names of such
candidates as he desires not to vote for.
This practically amounts to an educa
tional qualification and would disfran
chise the bulk of colored voters, who
constitute over One-third of the Republi-
can party in this State.

the hearty cooperation of the thousands
of friends of the great house, whose
honor, dignity and prosperity it has

Washington, Nov. >2S.-The Presl-
dents annual message is PRACTICAL COM
pleted and ready for transmission to
Congress when it assemblies next week.
The message will be unusually long on
account of the numerous and impor-
tallt topics it discusses. 1t is not GER
tain that the message viii be sent to
Congress next Monday. 1t is customary
to send it on the day Of the assembling
of Congress, but as the death OF the
Vice-President makes it certain that
the Senate. at least will adjourn imme-
diately out of respect to his memory
it II not unlikely that the message viii
be withheld until Tuesday. I'm the
House the adjournment will only be
delayed until that body is organized
when, upon the announcement Of the
death of the President, it also will
adjourn.

Manauense demurred, the officers say,
because the Government was renting
the ship for $500 per day.
Throughout the remainder of the vOy-
age the engines of the Manauense failed
frequently and the ship would roll for
few hours while the engines were re-
pairing. Then the steamer would proceed
again for few hours
The meat and vegetables rotted be-
cause of the failure of the refrigerators,
and were thrown overheard.
After the storm, the water supplied
to the ship at Honolulu had to be used
for the boilers and there was little or
none for drinking In fact it is as
serted that during the last week Of the
voyage the men lived almost entirely on
whiskey, beer and hard tack.
The officers and soldiers were utterly
exhausted when they reached Manila
They declare the engineers were grossly
incompetent The officers also say that
the behavior of the troops was beyond
praise. For days they worked in the
dark, suffocating hold with water up 10
their shoulders, and planks washing
about in a manner dangerous to life
and limb.
The officers took the lead in bailing
and encouraged the men.
The captain of the ship promised the
men twenty-five cents day for bailing,
but he now proposes to pay them a dol
lar and a half. The soldiers talk of at
taching the ship.
The regiment will proceed to Zam-
boanga on the Pekin to garrison several
ports on the Island of Minandano.

Pamphlets from Manila.

Boston, May 9.-The executive COM

has adopted the following letter to be
sent to Edward Atkinson:
"Whatever difference of opinion may ex-
list as to the propriety of the circulation
which you suggested (but which we under
stand has not been attempted) there should
be only one opinion as to the far more seri-
Gus issue which has been raised by your
experiment of sending copies of your pam
phlet only to Admiral George Dewey,
President Schurman, Prof. Worcester, Gen.
H. G. Otis. Gen. Lawton. Gen. Miller and
j. H. Bass. the correspondent of Harper's
Weekly, and which was reported to have
been taken from the mails by order of the
postmaster-general. Against this act of
arbitrary and illegal power, which would
hardly be attempted by any government
of Europe except. perhaps, that of Russia,
the league calls on all good citizens to
protest as a serious blow to republican in
stitutions. which are now so gravely
threatened by imperial policies at home
and abroad"
