PINGREE'S NEW SCHEME.
Suggests Another Manner by which
the Taxes of the Railroads
Can he Doubled.

LANSING. Mich, Dec. 29.-The house to-
day refused to adopt the senate's resolu-
ton to end the special session today, and
voted to adjourn to next Tuesday
In response to the defeat by the senate
of his equal taxation amendment and in
lieu thereof Gov. Pingree today sent to
the legislature a message urging that the
specific rates of taxation under which the
railroads are now taxed be increased SO
that the railroads will pay about 81, 500 600
taxes annually instead of s1.036,775, as at
present.
In another message the governor recon-
mends that iron and copper mining COM
by an ad valorem assessment, as at pres
ent. In the house the latter message was
followed by the introduction of bill, which
was defeated last session, designed to in
crease the specific tax on mining compan-
les nearly S3,000000 per year. 1t was made
a special order for next Wednesday.
A message urging submission of the
question of municipal ownership of the
street railways and other public utilities
to the people was also sent in by the gov
ernor and referred.

were offered on last Tuesday were adopted

The love feast today was presided over
by Chairman Charles r. Runnels, Of the
announced are Judge Hanecy and Rich
ard Yates, Morgan county, for governor;
o. r. Berry, Hancock. and Charles s.
NJ. o. Williams for state treasurer.
Senator Cullom, Gov. Tanner and state
officers spoke this afternoon.
Charles q. Dawes. comptroller OF the
currency, made speech which aroused
the greatest enthusiasm, and was regarded
by many as outlining the policy Of the
administration on two points the Philip
pines policy and the. attitude Of the Re-
pairing the conditions prevailing In 1895,
when the Republican party came into pow.
er, with the present, Mr.. Dawes claimed,
cope with adverse conditions 1t would be
able to continue In prosperity. Speaking
Of trusts Mr.. Dawes said It was the duty
of the Republican party to take hold Of the
ing. 1t was its duty to conserve public in
terests. Wherever trusts proved them
selves inimical to the public veal they
must be restrained and controlled, and IL
necessary laws must be passed that would
so much encourage active competition as to
bring about the disintegration OF the trusts.
Mr.. Dawes did not claim all trusts were In
restraint Of trade. but those that proved to
be such should be legislated against
Rather than have in the hands Of any
corporation the power to absolutely fix the
price Of a necessity OF life at an arbitrary
figure, the people Of the United States will
eventually and rightfully do one of two
things" said Mr. Dawes, "they will enact
legislation for the actual protection of the
people from extorttop by governmental reg
uatfon more or less extended as public
necessities may require or they will enact
legislation for the enforced creation of q
competition by the disintegration Of trusts.
With nothing less than one of these two
things will or. should the people Of this
country be satisfied.
THE question Of the proper legislative
treatment of these great combinations,
formed for the purpose of monopolistic
control of the production and distribution
of some OF the necessities. and comforts of
life, Is one OF the greatest and most prac-
tical which confronts the political parties
OF the nation and our party must take the
first steps in its solution.''
Mr.. Dawes spoke at some length on the
Philippine question, asserting that the en-
couragement received from anti-imperial-
lists had much to do with the prolongation
OF the war. He said that as President Nc
Kinley had refused to be hurried by the
clamor of jingoes before the Spanish war.
SO now would he refuse to be turned from
his course in regard to the Philippines by
the so-called anti-imperialists.

Down Their RatiOns.
WASHINGTON, Dec. 29.-The reports
that the Boer authorities have threatened
to reduce the rations, of the British pris-
oners at Pretoria, in case Great Britain
stops the entry of food supplies at Della
goa bay, is not borne out by the official
communications of United States Consul
Hollis, at Pretoria. BY direction of tho
state department Mr. Hollis Is looking
after the British interests and in particu-
lar in seeing that the British prisoners
are afforded every proper facility and per-
sonal attention. His reports have been
very full concerning the care of the pris-
oners and such attending circumstances as
were warranted. These, however, give no
indication that the rations of the prison.
ers are to be reduced. but on the contrary,
the entire tenor of the official report goes
to show that there need be no apprehen-
sion that such threat will be put into Of
feet.

patrol the Atlantic. The report that the
larger part of the British North Ameri-

war vessels would be dispatched from the
British North American squadron, de-
tainty that communications touching upon
the matter had been exchanged between
Halifax and the commander of the fleet
at the West Indies. Arrangements are
being made, he said, for the dispatch of
at least two vessels to do patrol duty on
the South and North Atlantic coast The
cruisers will sail Immediately after re-
ceipt of final orders
