Taxation of Franchises.

Under sharp pressure from Governor
Roosevelt the New York Legislature has
passed an act under which the franchises
Of corporations possessing valuable public
privileges are TO be considered as real
property" and taxed as such. Among the
franchises so taxed are those of street
railway companies. Steamboat and power
concerns. and electric-lighting telegraph.
and telephone corporations.
This bill. in brief. regards all franchises
bestowed by the public upon corporations
as actual assets. which are expected TO
yield proportionate amounts 10 the tax

What is the matter with the New York
Tribune? In discussing the report OF the
beef court Of inquiry, it has this:
The interests OF the service says the
court of inquiry. will best be subserved il
further proceedings be not taken SO no
one is to suffer, and nothing is to be done
to prevent a repetition Of the blunders
with the recital of which the report itself
fairly bristles"
And this:
"Why not consign reform once for all
to perdition, and boldly claim that ours
is the best army in the world and then
go 10 sleep? Only in the best army in
the world can further proceedings be
superfiuous."
Evidently the administration censor who
hangs around the Tribune editorial
room had gone out to see a man or was
asleep when these two paragraphs were
written.

The announcement that Mrs. Anna f.
George. who was recently on trial for
the murder of George Saxton, Mrs. Nc
Kinley's brother, will go on the lecture
platform and speak on "Woman's Rights,
has created quite stir among the west
ern women's clubs. These organizations
object most strenuously TO Mrs. Georges
posing as an adviser of other women,
and feel that she is doing the sex dis
honor in thus parading herself before
the public.
Strong protests have been sent 10 her
by leaders in women's reforms, and her
attorney has likewise received urgent let
tiers begging him to dissuade his notorious
client from taking this step. 1t is hardly
probable that Mrs. George can arouse
within herself sufficient delicacy of feel
ing to stimulate her TO comply with these
requests. If we mistake not she was Of
fered 500 week to lecture, and likewise
received fattering Qrom a monetary
standponD proposals from theatrical
managers, who desired her to appear upon
the stage.
These latter she scorned with an air of
| Indignation, though the record of her
| doings, which was aired in the courts,
should convince the public that the wo-
man deserves but little consideration.
While the jury who tried her felt justified
| in restoring her TO liberty. their very
leniency was due to a frank expose OF
| her past misdeeds, which were only pal
lated because Saxton was even worse
than she.
If Mrs George refuses to do as re-
quested, she can only be squelched by
being ignored. If let alone. her notorious
ness will die a natural death.

In view of the confusion In the public
mind as to the meaning of the term squad
ron, as distinguished from that of
feet, the New York Times gives this in
formation: The word "ieet" may be
used to signify the whole navy of coun-
try, while squadron is part of fleet.
In naval tactics. however, the word feet
means any BODY OF warships numbering
twelve or more ships of the ,ine-namely
battleships and first-class cruisers. A fleet
is divided into three squadrons, known as
the van. the centre, and the rear. The
senior flag officer. under the feet COM
mander. commands the centre. the next
In command the van. and the third the
rear-whence the term rear admiral.

LINCOLN AND D0UGLAS THEIR THEME.
On the Same Ground Al Years Ago the
Dead President and the Champion OF
Popular Sovereignty Met in q Nemora-

Galesburg, ILL.,, Oct. Son the cam
pus of historic Knox college, where, II
years ago, Abraham Lincoln and
Stephen A. Douglas met in one of
memorable series of debates to de
termine which should occupy a seat in
the United States senate, President
Mckinley and Postmaster General
Charles Emory Smith Saturday de-
Hvered stirring addresses commemora-
tive of the contest between those two
great leaders of former days. The
citizens of Galesburg turned out en-
masse to honor the president of the
United States and the members of his
cabinet and an opportunity was given
them to greet their distinguished
guests as they were driven in carriages
through the streets of the city before
the exercises at the college began.
In the carriage with President Nc
Kinley were Col. Clark E. Carr, Mayor
Fletcher Carney and Justice Alfred NJ.
Craig, of the Illinois supreme court.
The members of the cabinet, in COM
pany with DR.. John Finley, former
president Of Knox college, and other
prominent citizens of Galesburg, fol-

bounded, and when the college campus
was reached the president received a
terrific ovation. Col. Carr presided
over the exercises and the invocation
was delivered by DIR. c. E. Nash, presi-
dent of Lombard university.
Congressman George w. Prince well
coined the president to the Tenth con-
gressional district and the greeting on
behalf of the people of Illinois was
spoken by Senator Shelby M. Cullom.
The brief speech of the president was
listened to with the closest attention,
and punctuated throughout its de-
livery with outbursts of applause.
Then followed the grafton of the day,
which was delivered by Postmaster
General Charles Emory Smith. Mr..
Smiths eloquent tributes to the char
acter and services of both Lincoln and
Douglas, and his "reminiscences of old
days in the Illinois political arena
were much appreciated by the i'm
mense crowd of listeners, some of
whom had been among the audiences
which, in 1858, witnessed the polemic

A Washington special to the Repu
MAY LOSE HIS FEE.
Success of the Insurrectionists in Venezue-
Ia Might Deprive Ex-President Harri-
son of q Snug S25O,OOO.

Washington. Oct. s.-A suggestion is
made of the possibility that diplo-
matte officer of the United States might
have to be employed to collect a law
yer's fee for an eX-president of the
United States The situation, it was
admitted, would be unprecedented if it
presented itself, but it is not thought
probable that it will. The fee in
volved, so it is reported, is $3.50, 900
promised by the present Venezuelan
government to Benjamin Harrison for
his services as legal counsel of the Ven
ezuela republic before the Paris arbitra-
ton commission. 1t was suggested
that in the event of the triumph of the
insurrectionists in Venezuela, now al
most at the gates of the capital city,
the obligation of the preceding adj
ministration might be repudiated, in
asmuch as the benefits derived by Ven
ezuela from the award are doubtful.
In this case state department officials
are of the opinion that the debt would
be regarded as one of honor, partly on
account of Mr.. Harrison's high posi-
ton as the former chief executive of a
republic whose good offices were alone
responsible for averting war and secur-
ing arbitration to Venezuela.

AGAIN NO RACE.
Third Attempt to Settle the American Cup
Championship Met With Same Fate
as the Two Previous Ones.

Highlands, n. J., Oct. s.-The third
attempt to run a S0-mile race for the
Americas cup promised well at the
start, for the wind was blowing
at from Is to IS miles an hour.
The Columbia crossed the line first
and held the lead over the Sham
rock until within a few miles from the
turning point. The Shamrock's skip
per seemed to outsail Capt. Barr and
the Columbia's falling behind was
largely due to the Britisher's better
seamanship. The first Is miles of the
course was sailed in about 21S hours
At four o'clock it was evident that
the boats could not make the run in
the time limit, and at 4:S2 the race was
declared off. The Columbia appeared
to be 80 to 100 yards ahead.

RIOT ON a RACE q DAT.
Stea mer Chartered by Gamblers, and
KebelIed at the Treatment Accorded.


New York, Oct S.-The Philadelphia
excursion steamboat Georgiana, which
vent out to the cup race Saturday
morning, returned to the CITY in the
afternoon with her flag at half-mast
and the American flag hoisted with the
lniOn down, indicating a death on
board and the need of assistance.
As she passed the battery the captain
sent word to the police tug that a mu-
tiny had occurred on board and that
three or four persons had been killed
The police captain at once called a
number OF policemen together and
started off with the tug after the Geor-
giana, which was making for pier 6,
North river.
The passengers on the Georgiana
who attempted to land We're dubbed
back by the police, but one man
dropped into a row boat and landed.
The passenger said that the Georgiana
had been chartered by an organized
gang of Philadelphia and New York
gamblers. He said gam Milling games
were running on one deck, and no at
tempt was made to reach the race
course.
The passengers waited on the cap
tain and demanded that the vessel
should proceed to the race course or
that their money be returned. This
appeal proved unavailing and a riot
ensued. During the melee several wera
badly beaten.

TRAILED A BLACK ASSASSIN.
BlOodhOunds Run Down the PerpetratoI
of One of the Most Brutal Grimes
Committed in Iowa

Eldora, Ia, Oct. S.-One of the most
brutal murders ever committed in the
state occurred near Estherville, and by
the keen animal sagacity of blood
hounds sent from Eldora one of the
murderes has been captured, and the
animals are on the trail and in good
prospect of the capture of the other
assassin. John Cairo and Bud Penny,
two negroes, working on the new rail-
railroad three miles out of Estherville,
waylaid Walter Lock, a laborer, and
shot him as he was riding a mule to
town, killing him instantly. No sooner
had the body fallen to the ground
than the assassins jumped upon it and
pounded it into an unacceptable
mass with the butts of their revolvers.
Sheriff Pullen gave pursuit, traced the
men to the railroad track and began
shooting. He hit Cairo, but the man
got up and escaped. The Eldora blood
hounds arrived and, after finding the
trail and hard an-day's run captured
Cairo near the Minnesota line.

Topeka, Kan, Oct. S.-A dog owned

cost the owners friends 1000 in liti-
CATION in an attempt to evade the pay
ment OF the city dog tax. Sugg kept
his dog chained and claimed that
the city ordinance referred to un-
chained dogs He also listed the dog
as personal property and believed that
ne was exempt from taxation by the
city. Inc supreme court now has the
case under consideration and will
shortly render decision on it.

Large Increase In Revenues Expected.

Washington, Oct. s.-If the expecta-
tons of the post Office officials are
realized, by January the contemplated
system of carrier, or door to door,
registration of mail matter will be put
into active operation. For the fiscal
year ended June 10. 1898, there were
over Is. 600, 900 pieces of registered mail
matter handled by the post Office de-
partment, and the revenue derived
amounted to S99s, 1919. 81. When the
new system is instituted it is the
general expectation of the officials that
the revenues will be doubled by the
end of the first fiscal year of its opera
fiOu-
