Special Session Railroad Legislation.
Lansing, Mich, Dec. 1S-The Michi
gan legislature met in special session
at noon today, in response to the call
of Governor Pingree. The COVER
nor's object is to secure the passage
of a joint resolution providing for
submission to the people at the gen
eral election, next November, of an
amendment to the state constitution
placing railways upon the same basis
for taxation as all other property. At
present the railroads pay specific taxes
upon the gross earnings.
Interest in the special session is
increased by the fact that the grand

tors, is still in session here. Speaker

tives, one of the indicted men, pre-

Valuable Papers Captured.

New York, Dec. 1S-A dispatch to
the Herald from Manila, says:
Among the numerous valuable records
of the insurgent government, captured
by Americans, it is said there are nu-
merous letters from the Junta. These
letters give the outlines of a plan
formed by. the Filipinos before the
taking of Manila, to secure arms and
ammunition from the Americans with
which to fight them after Manila was
captured.
Other letters found indicate that
Aguinaldo had the active moral sup
port Of prominent anti-expansionists
Of the United States. General Otis
will forward these important papers to

New York, Dec. 1S-De Long, man
ager Of the dynamite factory at Mod
dersfontein, in the Transvaal, has just
returned to France. He says that the
British government can have no idea
of the vast extent of the preparations
the Beers have been quietly making
for years, with the realization that
another struggle with the full force Of
Great Britain was inevitable. Even
should the Beers be driver. out of Nat
al he points out that no British army
could ever hope to enter the Trans
vaal and survive. He asserts that the
forts Of Pretoria and Johannesburg
are as strong as any in, the world
and have, within the last month, been
rendered absolutely impregnable.
De Long states there are about g.
600 well trained German volunteers in
the Boor army who have not yet been
allowed to go to the front.
London, Dec. 1S-The following no
tice was posted in the war Office: "As
the campaign in Natal, in the opinion
of Her Majesty's government is like
]y to require the presence and undivid-
ed attention of General Sir Redvers
Butler it has been decided to send
Baron Roberts as commander-in-chief
of South Africa with Lord Kitchener
as chief of staff"
Lieut.. II. II. S. Roberts, the only son
of Baron Roberts, who was wounded
in the engagement at Tugela River,
is dead.
All reserves will be called out and
the army in South Africa increased to
$4,000 men.
London, Dec. 18--In spite, of the
attempts of the authorities to gloss
over the sapercession of General Bull
Ter, the fact remains that the new ap-
pointment cannot be regarded other
wise than as a penalty for his failure.
A semi-ofiaial communication says:
1.-The disposition to regard the change
entirely erroneous. AS the forces en-
gagged in South Africa increase, the
officers of higher ranK are naturally
appointed to the supreme command" !"
Friends of Butler see in the head
long plunge of the cabinet suspi-
oious panic, There is no denying the
prodigious exertion the government
considers necessary to crush the two
little republics and shows that even
the sedate Lord Salisbury sees the
extreme gravity of the present aspect
OF affairs. Probably the ministers
have remembered the peril, which the
public seem to have forgotten, of the
possible rising of the Kafirs. In
deed, unpleasant rumors are already
current in this direction which would
be infinitely more serious than a re-
bellion of the Dutch. u4
