TributaciOn
Territorial

Vamos hoy q hacer al senor Sc
cretario de Hacienda las observa-
clones que nos sugiere su circular,
cuyo proposito no puede ser mas pa
triotico nj mas justo, como dijimos
aver.
Pero para que resplandezca mas
esa justicIa, para que la equidad en-
la contribution no dele nj la mas
leve sombra de duda, necesario Sc
hace que ell senior Secretario de Ha-
cienda sclare ell punto esencialisimo
que yamos q someter q su ilustrado
criterio
Terminabamos nuestro anterior
articulo con esta pregunta: sdeben
en- realidad pagar La misma2 Quota
terrenos cultivados de pastosy frutos
memories que terrenos sembra6os de
cana y cafe, aunque ambos SO CLASH
fquen de primera clase?
Y La clasi6cacioR de tierras en ?
2a So clase, para el objeto de-
la tributacion nos parece bien, aun-
que Richard llega en- su classification
hasta terrenos de 7 g clase.
Aceptamos, pues, y aplaudinos
la classification hecha por ell senior
Secretario de Hacienda; pero en- esa
classification debe tenerse en- cuenta
no solo la cahdad del terreno, sinol
la clase de cultivo d que Sc dedica.
Dice la circular:
"a todos los terrenos de la cla-
sc Sc les impondra una contribu-l
cl6n de un peso por cuerda~

SOUTH AFRICA IN ARMS
WAR IN TRANsVAAL NOW SEEMS
INEVITABLE.
Beers are Modifying Their Troops.
Action of orange Free State-Peace
Party Active in England.

LONDON, September 29.-3 a M
Gable to the Chicago TribuneO The
news from South Africa warrants the
worst fears. The Daily Mails" war
correspondent at Charlestown says
that communicating is going on in the
Wakkerstrom district and probably
throughout the Transvaal. Two thou
sand burghers have been ordered to as
semble tonight or early tomorrow at
Wakkerstrom Mex, eight miles from
the Natal border and eleven miles from
Laings Mex.
Hopes of peace are vanishing before
the Boer silence. The full Cabient
meeting today leaves only one con-
struction. The last word but one has
been spoken. Only the ultimatum re-
mains.
Mr. Balfour's significant speech in
Scotland yesterday emphasized this
fact. He said:
I'VE have now got to the point where,
if l am judging Alright, those RESPONSE
BILE for the policy of the Dutch Repub-
lie refuse to give way on the point on
which we cannot and will not give way.
The interests of South Africa, the in
terests of civilization, the interests of
naval honor, all make such a course
impossible"
The Government has decided, in the
event of it's being necessary, to present
an ultimatum to the Transvaal that
Parliament shall be summoned in spe-
Cial session at once.
The efforts of the peace party in
England are now being redOubted, and
even prominent conservatives are
pushing the crusade against war.
LONDON, September 2S.--The deci-
sion of the Volksraad of the Orange
Free State to join with the Transvaal
in the event of hostilites, although
fully expected, will naturally stiffen
the Beers Independent attitude.

DIR. NANsEN.
Contemplates Trip Searching for the
South Pole.

DR.. hansen has not yet finished the
large scientific book on the results Of
his last Arctic voyage, which is to sup
plement his more popular "Farthest
North" but he expects to have 1t COM
pleted soon, and is even debating
whether or not to tackle the South pole,
after coming so near to giving the
North it's quietus. His new book will
of course not excite general interest,
but to scientists 1t will be of great
value. The Fran was a finely equip
ped laboratory, and observations were
taken with the utmost regularity dur
ing the whole period of the cruise. OF
course such precision was not possible
for Nansen and Johansen on their boat
trip, but they did as well as their equip
ment allowed. 1t may be remembered
that Nansen's watch, which he used as
a chronometer ran down, so that all
his observations for longitude had to be
corrected after he found the error of his
timeDiece.

The site selected for the colony is at

inland from the coast in the vicinity of
Bahia Honda. The ground has been
laid out for sugar estates, tobacco PLAN

A. B. Rosser, who is the engineer in
charge Of the syndicate's plan, returned
from Bahia Honda today. The land near
the coast, he says, will be used for
sugar-planting and cattle-raising. To
Eacco will be raised inland. Mechanics
for the new settlement will be brought
from New York, but the laboring class
will come mostly from Virginia and the

BISHOP HURST'S FAMILY
AFFAIRS.

The trouble between Bishop Hurst OF
the Methodist church, and his wife.
which has caused their separation. is said
to be due to money matters. She Is very
rich. and until recently allowed him the
full command of her resources. Ills
liherality toward the proposed Ameri-
can university which he lis trying to cs-
tablish in Washington and his devotion
to its interests are said to have led to
complaints on her part and impaired
their relations about Il year ago. when
Mrs. Hurst left suddenly for EalrUpe.
At the request of her brother, Mr.. Root,
of Buffalo. Bishop Hurst has conveyed
to his wife all of the family investments
that stood in his name and he has given
