TAX ON CORPORATIONS.

Minneapolis. Jan. 6-The Minnesota leg
islature settled down TO business yes
terday and measures Of Importance
were introduced in both houses
There is apparently disposition
among all parties TO carry out some
of the important suggestions of Governor
Linds message, which is generally con-
ceded to be an able and statesmanlike doc
ument.
In the house there was in
troduced a bill in line with the message
providing for a commission to revise and
codify the laws touching the taxes on cor
porations, having in view, among other
things, an increase in the taxation of rail-
road property. The revision has been rec
ognized as a necessity for some time. The
bill does not require that the commission
shall report TO this legislature although it
is hoped a report will be ready for this
session. 1t is considered that the chance Of
passing such bill is bright.
Among other important measures intro
duced is one providing for the reform OF
primary elections, which will probably be
passed in some form. A bill providing for
electrocution was also introduced, and the
usual Populist initiative and referendum

REVIVED INTEREST
IN CUBAN MARKET
Chief Ports Again Open to
Commerce.
Interesting Tables Prepared by the
Bureau Of Statistics.
A Comparison of Spanish and Amer
, fcan IB,ports-Customs Duties
Imposed.

Now that the chief ports OF Cuba are
again open TO the commerce of the United
States and under conditions in which dis
examinations in duties and otherwise in
favor Of Spanish products and merchandise
10 longer exist, interest is revived in the
new market which these conditions offer
10 the producers and manufacturers OF the
United States.
Two tables prepared by the Treasury Bu-
reau of Statistics, relating to the COM
merce of Cuba, are of especial interest in
this connection. One Of these shows the
imports from Spain into Cuba by leading
articles in 1892, the year OF Cubas greatest
prosperity and greatest imports, and in
1896, the latest available data
The other shows the imports from the
United States into Cuba in 1888. the year
in which, under reciprocity, our greatest
sales TO that island were made, and in
1897. The imports into Cuba during the
decade have ranged from forty million dol
lars in 1890 upward to nearly sixty-five
million dollars in 1893, then downward
again until they touched forty million dol
lars in 1897, and omitting the imports for
the Spanish army doubtless fell materially
below those in 1898. About four fifths of
these imports were from Spain and the
United States, and of that four-fifths a
little more than one-half came from Spain
owing 10 the heavy determinations in ia
yor Of Spanish products in the customs du-
ties imposed az the ports
The following table shows the total i'm
ports from Spain and from the United
States in Cuba. from 1888 to 1897:

JOHN DREW IN ODD PERIL.
WeIi-known Actor Threatened
With BEING Legally Attached.

| WeIl-known Actor Threatened
With Being Legally Attached.
| New York, Jan. 6,-John Drew, the actor,
| is about to be attached, as If he were a
statue in marble of Paros or comet loose
| among the consultations. Surrogate Ar
mold has signed papers threatening him.
He received them on Wednesday evening
between two acts of the play that he is
acting in Brooklyn, and smiled as one in
initely bored may smile He made no com
ment at all.
He read them carefully. They say he has
not printed an advertisement about his
mothers debts; that he has not filed an
inventory of her property; that he has not
rendered an account of it.
He is in default That is why he is in
peril of being attached He received let
ters of administration on his mothers es-
tate on December 16. 1897. He filed bond
of s400 then as administrator.
AS an administrator he is accused of be-
ing a failure. 1t is astonishing that any
one should be surprised at that. but Julius
Lehman, an attorney, who admires him
against him of being delinquent as an ad-
ministrator, is really amazed.
Mr.. Lehman represents the Evans Cos
tune Company II obtained on August IL,
1898, two notes from Mrs. Louisa Drew,
guaranteed by her son. Sidney Drew. They
were for costumes that she wore in play
ing The Rivals and The Road TO Ruin
One note, for 800, was payable at the
Tabor Opera House, in Denver. Col The
other note for s135, was payable in the
Grand Opera House. at Los Angeles. Cal.
Neither had been paid, years after, when
Mrs. Drew died.
The Evans Costume Company wants the
money and the interest. and expected 10 get
the sum from the estate. What the value
of the estate is the company does not know
and cannot learn. Mr.. Drew has not filed
an inventory. He has not rendered an ac-
count.
His mother died at Larchmont on August
81, 1897. Seventy years of pictures and
phases OF the American stage We're i'm
pressed in her memory vividly. 1t is in
teresting. with reference TO the claim OF
the Evans Costume Company that she
liked to tell of the conceit of wigmaker
who said: 1T isn't the costume that makes
the success of the actor, ii is the wig
To avoid the peril of being attached John
Drew must file an inventory and render an
account of his mothers estate before Jam
uary r. He would not talk of that today.

EXPLAINS WHY GUN BURST.

New York. Jan 6.-when DIR. Calling
was asked last night night TO explain the
bursting of his new cast-steel eight-inch
gun at the Sandy Hook proving grounds on
"Wednesday he said that he could give no
definite answer. because he had been una
bic to visit the scene of the accident and
get all the facts he wanted.
Il have figures he said, which prove
that the breech of the gun was not SO
strong as the muzzle and that for a good
reason. The gun was subjected to a high
emperature-enough TO keep il a cherry
heat-for three DAYS longer than ii should
have remained in the furnace. The gun
was cast Just about the time the war was
breaking out and the ordnance board were
very busy. While We had the gun in the
furnace member of the board sent tele-
gram TO me, saying that their visit of in
spection would have TO be postponed for
four days. | knew that IL overheated the
gun the steel would weaken. but used all
care possible, and kept the gun in eight
days. The muzzle. or a couple of feet of
it, was kept in for only two days. and then
this part of the gun was kept outside the
furnace. We tested the ends of the gun af-
terwards and found that the strength of the
breech compared with that of the muzzle
Just about as 9 TO 10.
Still, | thought the gun was strong
enough to stand a good test. The normal
charge, in fact the charge required by con-
tract in an eight-inch gun, is 125 pounds Of
powder. The gun is built for that charge.
When they wanted to use seventeen pounds
more, making a charge of 142 pounds they
had 10 pack il all in. i knew they were
going TO use 142 pounds. but did not make
ay objection. In fact / told them I'd be
glad TO see them make such a test.

l25 pound charge till doomsday, but on the
other hand ] trace the cause, so far as l

AN IMMENSE STEEL PLANT.
Plans Completed for a Big Enter
prise at Newport News.

prise AT Newport News.
Newport News. Va, Jan. ct became
known last night that plans have been
completed for an immense steel plant to be
erected here in the near future.
One of those interested in the new in
dustry is now in the city, and when inter-
viewed tonight said the plant would cost
So. 200, 900, and would cover fifty acres oi
ground. Over six thousand men are TO b;
employed. The largest building to be used
by the concern will be 1,2S0 feet by 145
feet, plans for which have been completed
In addition to this there will be ffty-two
other shops. The total output of the pant
will amount to at least $54 900, 600 worth OF
steel per year.
Work on the new concern is to begin
next Spring, and it is to be erected on the
half-miIe water front recently purchased
near the Newport News Shipbuilding and
Drydock Company by C. p. Huntington.
Many Of the mines in Virginia have not
been operated for years. but the new in
dustry will handle all the ore the mine S
can furnish and it will not be long fore
the mining interests of the State will b
enhanced in value. The person quoted
above says that the construction of the
plant will bring to Newport News many
kindred industries, which will be run in
connection with it. These smaller con-
Germs will employ an additional force OF
5000 men in the aggregate.
Among them there are two forges, one
boiler factory and a concern for the man
ufacture of agricultural implements. TIL
ore, which will be smelted here, will be
brought from the rich mines of Virgin a
and Cuba. A new plan of steel making
will be used, which is now held q secret

Detroit, Jan. 6.-The annual message of
Governor Pingree was delivered at the
opening session of the legislature yesterday

mendous philippe against trusts, which he
declares are enslaving the nation.
The annexation of the Philippines is
strongly condemned, but he takes the posi-
tion that America should rule the Ameri-

Among other things, Governor Pirgree
advocates the income tax, and wants the
Europeans driven from the American con-
tinent. He contemns the Administration
for not putting the trusts out of business

country, West against East, and predicts
the danger of a civil war.
He. declares that the men most notorious
as the heads of great monopolies are the
most intimate friends of he Presidents

that the Administration looks upon the
