to me to be very far from Offering solution of this
grave problem. Such shaft well would In
sudden panic become deathtrap for all who en-

congestion in such n pit, with the frantic occu-
pants of many floors seeking escape from smoke

An infinitely, more hopeful plan would be num-
per OF light chain ladders. with rigid pipe rounds

dows to the ground at sufficient distance from
the building TO be easily reached, even by a
woman. BY the moving OF lever I'm the office

dropped into position. affordng safe means
or escape for every occupant, without crowding
or confusion The shelter for these ladders need
not disfgure any building and an occasional In
spection would keep them in constant readiness
for an emergency. The cost would. of course. be
nominal, compared with an interior stairway or
the usual iron cages outside the walls. The auto

chief advantages There need be no loss OF time,

TAX FRANCHISES NOW.

To the Editor OF The Tribune.
Sir: was very much pleased at reading that ar
tcle in your of yesterday entitled Tax Fran
chlses Now" You have struck the keynote. There
is no question as to tho duty Of the Legislature.
1t is 10 pass the bill now before II for the taxation
OF franchises. This bill may not be all we want,
but II step In the right direction. II II restores
to the taxable property OF this State the value OF
all franchises In which public property Is used for
the transaction OF the business for which the fran
chise was granted 1t will materially lessen the
burdens which now bear heavily on real estate,
is no reason why corporations enjoying such valua-
bic franchises should not pay Just proportion OF
the raised for the purposes OF the government
OF this city and State. Pass the bill for the taxa
ton OF franchises now and appoint a commission
TO revise the tax laws afterward. 1870 -

Sir: Where the spaniards whom the Tagas

Brooklyn, n. Y. March %. 1899. r. w.
The prisoners have been supposed TO be at

ably involve their release. unless the Tagals
should massacre them beforehand; which is not
impossible, seeing that the Tagals have. accord

United States will, Of course. spare no pains to
secure their release.-Ed
