morrow at 10 o'clock will be of greater
duration than few days.
Gen. Eagan will plead not guilty in a
general way, and then he probably will
enter the plea of Justification. 1t rests
with the court alone whether or not the
plea will be allowed. It is not likely
that it will be denied Gen. Eagan.
Judge Advocate Davis said today that

proving that Gen. Eagan made the

He did not apprehend that Gen. Eagan
would produce more than the proseeu-

Just Like the Commission.
ATE THE TRACKS.
President Bliss Says He Will Not Take a
New Terminal as a Gift--Scheme
Adopted Is Only Feasible One.

The Boston and Albany Railroad
wants elevated tracks.
The plans which engineers of that

finished, and they will be submitted to
the consideration of the grade crossing

President William H. Bliss of the
Boston and Albany Railroad told
Mayor Rufus Is. Dodge, Jr., and Will
liam Hart Of the grade crossing com
sion, that the Boston and Albany Rail
road would not agree to the southern
terminal plan, if it could be put in easy
and successful operation for even $4,000.
Neither would he listen to any plan

Engineers of the railroad company

worked on plans for elevating the

plans of the railroad for elevating the
tracks differ from those recommended

anybody in Worcester.
Mayor Rufus 3. Dodge, Jr. and Will

GOVERNMENT OF HAWAI-.
Supporters of the General Bill in Senate
Are Becoming Anxious.

washington, Jan. 24.-The supporters
in the Senate Of the general bill for
the government Of Hawaii as terrific
ry are growing somewhat anxious over
the prospect.
In view of the crowded condition of
the calendar and the apparent indif
ference toward Hawaiian legislation
they express a fear that the bill NAV
not receive attention before adjourn
ment, and they say that if it does not
there will be most perplexing condi-
ton of affairs in the islands, which
became part of the union by the adop-
ton of the Newlands resolution in Ju-
ly last.
The decision of the supreme court of
Hawaii in the matter of landing of
Chinese immigrants in the islands is
the immediate cause Of present appre-
hension. The full text of this decision
has now been received here, and it is
found to be very far reaching in its
effect. 1t deals not only with the land
ing of Chinese in Hawaii, but also in
cidentally lays down the doctrine that
it is, as a court, without Jurisdiction
in constituting the laws of the United
States dealing with other than the
Chinese immigration question
Discussing this phase OF the Hawaii
an question, Senator Cullom, who has
charge Of the general bin, said today
that the decision left the people Of the
islands in a most unsatisfactory predi-
cament. They do not know where
they stand" he said. nor what to de-
pend upon in the enforcement of the
law Important legal questions are
likely to arise at any time and natural
ly the Hawaiians want to know where
they stand"
Senator Cullom said he would call up
the Hawaiian bill as soon as there
seemed any possibility of getting con-
but as long as the peace
treaty maintained it's present position
it was impossible for him to say when
this would be.

UNAVAILABLE.
Mcclure So Regards De-
pressed Tracks Plan.

During the discussion of the grade
crossing commissions report by the
city council and previous to that when
the Spy was printing the news Of the
transactions of the commission, the de-
pressed tracks plan was heard with
even greater frequency than the one
which the commission recommended.
Since the commissioners reached their
conclusion they have made no secret
that they were almost unanimous in
favor Of depressed tracks IL the plan
could be carried out. Mambers OF the
Commission have told the Spy man that
at the meeting at which the committee
was appointed to draw up the report,
all were in favor Of the depressed
tracks In preference to the elevated,
and they did not let this plan go until
they had been convinced of the almost
absolutely impracticabflity of depres-
sing the tracks. They said that City
Engineer F. A. Mcclure told them the
engineering difficulties and they cross
examined the city augbneer with every
conceivable kind Of question In the
could be done. 1t was his statement
that the plan was almost impossible
of execution which caused them to re-
port in favor OF the elevated plan.
Certainly no better authority than

CUBAN TAXES.
CabinetDiscusses Collection
Through Spanish Bank.

washington, Jan. 24.@The protest
against the continuation of the Spanish
Bank at Havana as medium for tax
collection was thoroughly discussed at
phe CABINET meeting today and Gen
Brooke's statement of objection carried
conviction into the minds of cabinet
or1lcers, although no final action was
taken.
zen. Brooke in his statement says
That the Spanish system of tax collec-
ton has been a fruitful cause of dissat-
ls1action and has led to more than one
revolt even the last move being founded
IN large part upon the extortions and
hardships of the tax system. The taxes
were heavy, unequally laid and collect
ed IN an extortionate manner. The Gu
bans thoroughly distrust the institution
Tor It's acts in the past and it should not
now be retained in the reorganization
OF the government. Gen. Brooke main
balns that the United States govern
ment through its own machinery could
collect the Cuban taxes at NOT more
IMAM half the sum of money that would
nave TO be paid to the Spanish bank,
passed on the rate of per cent on coll
iectlons, though this rate is far below
the rate received by the Spanish bank
under the old regime.
The penalties proposed for default in
laxatlon are said by Gen. Brooke to be
80 severe as to make 1t possible for the
oalk 70 Ioreclose upon most of real es-
tate OF the island and place it in fine
hands of Its friends, though it is NOT
charged that this would be done Gen
BROOKE believes that the people in most
cases are unable to pay arrears of taxes
ana ne thinks that they should be re-
inltted. 1t is recommended that proper
" taken by the state be restored. pro-
Vldeu mat owner makes claim within a
year ana that no innocent third party
mas acquired it. To collect the haci,
taxes, Gen. Brooke thinks might cost
more than the receipts while the limited
states could give no more convincing
PROOF of its good intentions and good
VIII toward the Cubans than bv tbe
gracious act of at once RENTING thaaa
pack taxes on the lines proposed. Az
uached to Gen Brooke's statement is a
letter from Col Bliss, the chief customs
oIncer In Cuba, giving a full exhibit of
the tax schedules, the method of collec-
tlon pursued by the bank and all of the
treasury forms. Col. Bliss fully endorses
Gan Brooke's plan on the Subject of
taxation.
