Mrs. Flora Mcdonald Says She Is Unable
to Pay Her Taxes.
Mrs. Flora Mcdonald has filed petit
ton with the city clerk to be presented
to the council tonight asking that she
be not required to pay her taxes this
year, offering as a reason for the re-
quest that she recently lost her hus-
band, has five children dependent upon
her for support and is trying to pay
for home. Her communication reads:
Il, the undersigned, have just re-
ceived notice from your city treasurer
calling upon me for taxes to the
amount of $1S.75 and will most respect
fully ask your honorable body to order
these taxes stricken from the tax roll.
as ] am unable to pay the same. BY
so doing you will save me my little
home that I am struggling hard TO
maintain. I have had the misfortune
to lose my husband a short time ago
by being killed in the Rarus mine and
am left with five small children depend
ing on me for support Besides, my
little home is only part paid for, and TO
keep up these payments, together with
the support of my little ones, taxes my
utmost efforts. I can furnish you suf-
ficient proof to substantiate the fore
going statements that you may not
think am imposing on your honorable

Assistance OF General White Deemed of
Utmost Importance.


London, Nov. 14.-That Gen. Whites
relief is considered a matter of press
ing Importance Is again evinced by the
satisfaction with which officials heard
of the arrival of the troop ship Port
Armenian at Cape Town yesterday,
couple of days before her time. The
non-arrival of her precious freight of
field guns and ammunition threatened
serious delay in General Methune's ar
rangements for the relief of White. The
division still lacks cavalry, but in all
probability the first arrival of that arm
at Cape Town will be sent to Durham,
irrespective of which division they were
originally assigned to.
There is no doubt the bombardment
of Ladysmith has increased in inten-
sity during the last few days, and
though all messages from there speak
of confidence of the defenders load of
anxiety will be removed from the coun-
try when unrestrained communication
with the beleaguered men is re-estab-
. lished.
Considerable feeling has been aroused
by the announcement that Sir William
Butler, former commander at the Cape,
will not command the troops on the
occasion of the queens visit to Bristol
9 tomorrow. AS Butler commands the
western district his absence from the
ceremony is remarkable and Is attrib-
Huted to fears of hostile demonstration

DOUBTLESS IT WILL FLY
That Is the Opinion of Experts
Concerning Tolliver's Air Ship.
THE PRINCIPLE is THERE
Mechanics See No Reason Why the Ma
chine Should Not Perform the
Work Expected OF 1t.
Will Incorporate.

c. H. Tolliver's model of an air-ship
which he has invented. is attracting
much attention these days. 1t is on ex-
hbition at No. 112 West Granite street
where several practical engineers have
inspected its peculiarities. 1t is their
opinion. Judging from the standpoint of
mechanical observation, that a large
ship built upon the plans introduced in
the model, would be success in aerial
navigation. They admit that the prin-
ciple is there, and it is their belief that
success must follow the inventors in
genuity.
A number of members of the National
Association of Stationary Engineers
have called upon Mr.. Tolliver and eX-
amined the wonderful piece Of mechan-
ism, and they all give it their sane
tion. Those who have critically in
spected the ship and given it their
inspector of Montana; George Oswald,
ex-master mechanic of the Butte &
Boston; C. c. Lenhart, X-superintend-
ent of construction for Fraser & Chal-
mers; r. l.. McMurray, machinist and
millwright; H. B. Fletcher, eX-master
mechanic Of the Victor Bicycle COM
pany. Sever other mechanics have also
inspected the ship.
Mr.. Tolliver is a resident of Great
Falls and is here for the purpose of
raising the necessary funds to put the
matter in formal shape. He will
incorporate after the required amount
of money is raised. About $4,000 has
been subscribed and pledged on condi-
ton that the $4,000 is raised. The in
ventor has been encouraged to the ex-
tent that he hopes to get all the stock
taken here. If he is not successful he
will take the ship to San Francisco or
the East, where 1t is believed he would
have no trouble in disposing of all of
the stock he cared to put on the mar

Manila, Nov. IA, $40 a. m.-The
whereabouts of Aguinaldo and his
army and cabinet is perfect enigma.
General Otis has learned that Aguinal-

they are travelling with the army. how

Lawton's line, are all unknown.

must move to the northwest. With the
Americans advancing at the present
rate they could drive the insurgents
from Bongabong in fortnight and it
is impossible for the rebels to estab-
fish another capital in Luzon which
cannot be captured within a month.
The rapid approach of the Americans
was complete surprise to the insur-
gents, as the latter expected them to
move slowly, as they did from Manila
to Angeles. The Filipinos thought it
impossible for the Americans to make
Roadway in the mud, which prevailed
everywhere, and the sudden invasion

HEALTH OF THE ARMY.
Surgeon General Sternberg Sums Up the
Welfare of the Soldiers.

Welfare of the Soldiers.
Washington, Nov 14..Surgeon GEN
eral sternberg's annual report gives a
comprehensive view of the health of
the troops on the field and at home,
the casualties and losses in battle and
in hospital, as extended to the sick and
wounded and other interesting informa-
ton relative to the physical welfare of
the army. The total number of deaths
in our army, including regulars and
volunteers, from May |, 1898, to June 80,
1899, was 6,619 of whom 496 We're killed
in battle: 216 killed by accident; 202 died
of gunshot wounds and wounds receiv-
ed in action; 2,774 from typhoid fever
476 from malarial fever; 1853 from pneu-
monia 342 from diarrhoea and dysen-
terry and 185 from yellow fever.
As ito food supplies, General Stern
berg says he considered 1t wise to go
slow in changing the army ration until
experience has shown just what
changes are assuredly desirable. He
refers to the agitation about canned
roast beef and refrigerated beef ard
says at the time there were on file only
two complaints as to the beef supply.
The only criticism made by medical Of
fiecrs, he says, is that the rations for
the tropics should have less fat and
more starch and sugar.
The reports recommends an increase
of the medical corps and the establish
ing of camping grounds through the
country ready for troops when they are

believe there is now appropriated some
thing like $S00,000 for the necessary ex-
penses in caring for the national ceme-
teries. 1t is difficult to say how much
it will take for this new service. There
will necessarily be considerable outlay
right ut the outset for putting the Con
federate cemeteries iii proper shape.
Then as necessary incidental there
must in some cases be the construction
of proper roadways leading to the GEM
eteries. 1t is my idea that all this work
should be done through the War De-

VALUE OF CROP PRODUCTS.
PENITENTIARY FARMING.
If All the Farms Were Bunched Into
One it Would Save $4,000

Talking about the penitentiary affairs,
Capt Day is quoted as saying:
The chief trouble is that the peniten-
tiary has great quantity of land for
which it has no use. 1t has rented 5000
acres at Caledonia; 5000 in Northamp-
ton. 1000 in Halifax; 1000 in Anson;
1000 near Wilmington, making $4,000
acres. 1T has to work this vast area
only GOO convicts. These GOO hands
can operate 27J plows, each plow tilling
% acres At the most they can't till
over, 9,000 acres, and thus you see the
State is paying rent on 1000 acres of
land it can't use. In addition to this
trouble there is another. There are sew
en- farms, with seven supervisors, in
stead Of one farm. The expense of these
dfsiointed farms and of the transporta-
ton of provisions to them is enormous.
The cost of the increased number of
guards is so per cent. You know that
practically the same number of guards
can as easily look after 500 prisoners
as after 100. / assume that if these z
farms were 'bunched,' that is consolida-
ted into one, it would save $4,000 a
year. Of course people will say my
object is to get all the convicts on the
Roanoke. This is absurd. / know that
no farming is profitable with this class
of labor save on bottom lands. 1t is
absurd to think of the penitentiary ever
becoming paying institution under the
present system. The yearly rents aggre-
gate 1000 OF this at least $1,000 is
for land which. as | have shown you,
can't possibly he cultivated, for lack of
hands to do the work"

Washington. Jan 14.-Thc key to the
solution of the difficulty between Gen
eral Eagan and General Miles was to-
day in the hands of the former. The
next affirmative action must come from
him if there is to be action. The war
commission having called upon him to
modify his statement nothing can be
done until he either has revised his first
declaration or has notified the commits
sioncrs of his refusal to do so. 1t is
confidently expected by the best in
formed officials that the COmmissary
General will modify his statement to
meet the criticisms of the commission.
He himself will make no statement
touching his purpose.
Opinions still vary as to whether the
withdrawal of the offensive statements
withdrawal of the offensive state
ments will end this incident
The weight of opinion seems to
be that the President himself and
Secretary Alger, in whose hands the
Cabinet rested the whole matter after its
consideration yesterday, have not yet
made up their minds as to what course
they shall pursue. Probably much de-
pends upon the expression of public
