mand Increased Wages.
Paris, Dec, 25.-At a meeting of $500
miners held to-day in Saint Etienne, a
resolution was adopted in favor of declar-
ing a general strike in the coal basin of
the Loire tomorrow morning.
A sympathy movement, involving $4,000
men, is feared. The prosperity of the
coal trade led the miners to demand an
increase of wages, shorter hours and a
formal recognition of the miners feder-
alton by the companies. The latter made
an offer of 5 per cent, increase, but this
was refused.
TO-day's decision was reached amid cries
of ''Vive la Grevew Disorders are an
ticipated. Already there have been slight
disturbances, particularly last evening,
when the miners went in procession
through the streets of st. Etienne singing

Peoria, Ill, Dec. 25.-Bishop Spalding
does not credit the report that the Pope
has issued an encycncal abolishing cell

some length concerning the rmnor. He
said:

Yet l am almost sure l would have known

Taxpayers Affected.

The taxpayers Of the state will soon
bc interested in several important
amendments made To the general tax
law by the last legislature. Section 90
which formerly provided for interest
on delinquent taxes at the rate OF 3 per
cent per annum and the addition of 4
per cent collection fee, was amended so
"a to make the penalty | per cent Il
month, the dditiona collection for being
| retained.
Under the previous law there was no
charge for the cost Of advertising, Get,
until the lands had been advert ised and
made subject to sale. The advertise
ment was made in April and there was
no charge on the account mentioned
until the land was actually offered for
sale. An amendment increases this
expense from 40 cents to 81 per dcscrip-
tion, and makes the charge lien upon
the land on Oct. ncxt preceding the
time prescribed for the sale oi the land.
Land now held for unpaid taxes oi
1897 will he sold for taxes, unless the
later are sooner paid, in May next.
Under the old law the expenses 81 thes
sale, which has been increased 60 81,
would not become a lien until that date,
but the new law makes II lien on Octl
next
Another amendment s the restora-
tion Of the fee payable TO county treas.
urers for TAX certificates to accompany
warranty deeds. This WAS reduced from
% to 10 cents and subsequently, abol-
ished, but the last legislature restored il
at the later figures.

Whatever effect is produced on the

in these deals seem large, figuring out n

and all operating expenses to be borl @

are OF course able to turn this fact to
their advantage. There has been IA large
tonnage OF ore handled in august, ,wheth, =
fully up TO the July total can only bc de.
termined by the official Figures. There
are few, very few, cases in which early
estimates of production at important
mines will be overrun; the instances OF
shortages throw considerable balance
on that side OF the account. But exag-

They Intervene tn some chofic song
Which from the dark mysteriously wegled.
To whoss soft tune the dancers round and round
Move in a rapture jremuous and intense.
With dangerous PAGES that make faintcst sound
And ever dullcr and more dTowsy sense.

And then, back to himself returning, feels

Shedding the ligh; Of stars 50 silently
That on my heart that stiffness fell like balm.
