P1NGREE WINS.

Legislators Adopt His Tax Plan and
Repeal Special Railroad Charters.
Lansing, Mich, Oct. 15.-The special
session of the legislature, which CON
vened Wednesday, adjourned after en-
acting into law two measures for.
which Governor Pingree has striven
for years. One is his plan for the
taxation of corporate property. The
other is the repeal of special charters
for railroads.
The first measure is joint resolu-
ton providing for the submission to
popular vote of constitutional
amendment giving the legislature the
power to levy taxes on the property
OF corporations according to its val
ne. 1t is a radical departure from
the present methods of assessing the
railroads and other corporations on
their gross earnings. From the esti-
mates made by the experts employed
by Governor Pingree the new plan,
if adopted, will more than double the
taxes of railroad property in this
state.

SUSPECTED BANDIT ARRESTED.
Council Bluffs Train Robber Thought
to Have Been Captured.

Council Bluns, Oct. ia man has
Dcen arrested in Avoca suspected of
being one of the robbers who held up
the Kansas City train three miles
south of this city recently. 1t is said
that the detectives nave been shad-
owing him f. the past week and
that they have become convinced
that he is the man who escaped
after Chas.. Baxter had shot one of the
Robbers. Little was known here of
this clue until the news came of the
arrest, for the work had been done
entirely by men in the secret service.
The information was quite positive
as to the identity of the one under
arrest. The man gave his name as
Fred w. Spurlang and claimed that
he was on his way to Illinois from
Seward, Neb. He left the train at
Minden and was chased from there
to Avoca, where he was placed under
arrest. 1t is said that he answers to
the description of the man who es-
capped and wore red swea rer, which
is given as one of the items i'll the
apparel of the robber.

POLICY TOO ERRATIC.

Washington, Oct. l2.The recent
happenings in China. especially in tho
province of Chile, have so far setback
peace negotiations that it may be "a

Element. Through the efforts of the
state department., seconded by more
moderate powers, steady and sys,
tematic pressure has been brought
to bear upon the Chinese emperor to
bring about his return to Pekin.
Representations from the great
southern viceroys to the emperor,
setting out the impossibility of sup
plying the court with money and food
it it persists in retreating to Tsinan
Flu in Shensi, was but one OF the
means which have been resorted to at
the instance of this government to
secure the return of the court. All
efforts are neutralized. however, by
the spasmodic and unnecessary actiy-
ity of the allied military forces.
There is no necessity whatever for
the Pao Ting Flu expedition, in the
Judgment of officials here, and that
venture was straw which determin-
ed the imperial court to flee to the
western mountains. Ii Hung Chang
and the viceroys of the south had
pledged themselves to maintain or
der and guarantee protection for
foreigners and property in their re-
spective provinces.
This was made condition pre-
cedent by the United States govern
ment to the establishment of relations
with them looking for the imitation
of negotiations for final settlement.
According to all reports that have
reached Washington the viceroys had
lived loyalty up to their promises in
spite of irritating military expedi-
tions and movements of various kinds
set up against their protests and
therefore it is regarded as particular
ly unfortunate the allied forces
should persist now in the expedition
against Pao Ting Flu.

yellow fever in Hnvnna.

Havana, Oct, l5.-One hundred and
thirteen new cases OF yellow fever
have been officially reported since De-
tober 1. There is no longer any doubt
that the disease has attacked Major
Peterson, chief commissary, and Mr..
Frank Hayes, general manager of
the North American Trust company
branch Office, who have taken ill. Miss
Natalie Brown, a stenographer in the
employ of the trust company, is also
down with the disease. Four hun
dred and twenty-eight Spanish immi-
grants are in quarantine here owing
to the existence of smallpox in the
vessel on which they arrived. The

jor Gorgias, are working night and

ISOLATION, Mayor A. II. Burton sent
to Washington for copy of the lists
of names taken by the enumerators.
On their arrival the lists will be plac-
ed in charge of number of expert
enced employees of the Commercial
association, who will make a second
enumeration to show the mistakes
and discrepancies of the government
enumerators. In one district, the
most populous, in which the census
bureau employed woman, the Com
mercial association expects to show
that the official count was at least
1000 short. The work of the Polk
Directory company in making new
directory has also brought out nu-
merous discrepancies in the official
count, all of which the business men
expect to disclose in their recount.

Austia GhrIst Suddenly Disappears
From Knoxville.


Knoxville, Oct. 1.-THE Express,
published last evening, says:
young Knoxville business man, got
team and buggy at Shive's livery
barn Thursday morning and started
for Pella. Since that time nothing
has been seen of him. He has, in
-act, absconded, leaving his business
and his creditors behind.
Suspicion had been aroused the
day before by some transactions with
Pella bank, and when Christ left
town the storm soon broke. 1t was
soon found that he had been doing
big business on no capital except
confidence, and that he had forged
notes right and left and had for a
long time eluded suspicion.
Christ had an implement and car
rfage house on West Main street, and
did big business; in vehicles of all
kinds. He also had large stable
on East Robinson street, which was
continuously flied with driving
horses and other stock in which he
dealt. He frequently shipped car
load of horses, and had a good many
irons in the fire." The general im-
preston was, that he had a great
genius for trading and was making
money. He had first rate credit at
the banks and was heavy borrower
on collateral security. Since his
abrupt leave it has been found that
much of his collateral is merely
copies of notes that he still had in
his possession
1t is probable that Ghrist's liabili-
ties will reach $4,000 with assets at
$4,000. He took considerable money
with him and left forged notes for
about $4,000 behind.

HOG CHOLERA RACES IN IOWA.
Unusual Number of Young Hogs BENZ
Hurried to Markell

Ouusu8A NumDer OF Young Hogs being
Hurried to Markell.
Des Moines, Oct. 1.-THE unusual
number of young hogs forwarded to
market from Iowa during the past
ten days has led to an investigation
of the cause by the companies, and
has developed the existence of hog
cholera in many portions of the state.
For nearly three weeks the disease
has been prevalent in the vicinities
OF Grimes, Storm Lake, Sac City and
score of other points on the Mil
waukee, as also in the country about
Van Meter and Stuart on the line of
the Rock Island. When it first app
peared the cholera did not assume a
malignant form, but during the past
week the mortality among the hogs
attacked has been very great. Some
herds numbering one hundred hog,
have been depleted to twenty, and
the disease continuing to spread,
farmers became alarmed and began
shipping to market. The presence
of hundreds of shoats among the
shipments attracted the attention of
the railroad companies and culmin-
ated in an order to division freight
agents to instruct station agents 10

entity of each of the stations on the

to be spreading alarmirgly among

London, Oct. 16.-The Durham cor
respondent of the Standard, wiring
yesterday, says:
Railway communication north of
,Standerton has been suspended since
Thursday. There are persistent ru-
mors of Boer attacks on the railway.
Considerable uneasiness has been
caused by the postponement of Lord
Roberts departure"
The queen will appoint Lord Rob-
erts to be honorary colonel of the
new regiment of Irish guards.
The mayor of Liverpool has receiv-
ed dispatch from Lord Roberts,
saying that he will be unable to re-
ceive the freedom of the city before
January.
J Commenting upon the activity of
the Beers and the statement from
Cape Town that Lord Roberts has
postponed his Homecoming, the
Standard says: "There are certain
indications pointing to the conclusion
that unexpected difficulties have
arisen which Lord Roberts deems
grave enough to demand his presence
for some time to come. All the facts
suggest that it is impossible yet to
denude South Africa of any substan-
tial portion of the large army now
engaged in dominating a sullen peo-
pie. The situation finally calls for
the severest measures against irrecon-
.cilable Boers-prompt and ruthless
punishment for every insurgent

torial concludes with the statement
that 1.-THE imperial government has
the country's mandate and need not

Porto Rico.
Washington, Oct. 12.-The war de.
partment has published the annual re.
port of Brigadier General Davis, de.
partment of Porto Rico. 1t states
that when the Organization of the
civil government shall have been COM
pleted and the civil machinery IS
working well there will be no neces-
sity to retain in the island SO large
a force as at present. He cannot,
however, conceive it possible to limit
the garrison to force just sufficient
to take care of the guns at San Juan,
and he points out that the island OF
Porto Rico must have in the future,
as it has in the past, great military
Importance. Spain expended more
than $4,000,000 on the Notifications of
San Juan, and upon the surrender to
the United States for Notifications
were found to be of great strength
and the ornaments extensive. Gem
eral Davis adds: "It is inconceivable
that the United States will leave the
island without adequate protection of
men, ships and guns, the only land
owned by the United States in the
West indies" Land for naval sta.
ton has been reserved, and coaling:
and repair station probably will be
erected at San Juan. General Davis
says the armament should be increas-
ed and modernized, and the guns cared
for by a sufficient force of artillery
men. He says the experiment of util-
izing the natives as soldiers has prov
ed a marked success. During the
year over 3o,ovo.ooo pounds of relief
supplies have been distributed by the
quartermaster's department. 1t has
been found impracticable to use
the native cattle for subsistence, and
the refrigerated beef from this ccun-
try has been generally acceptable.
The cost of the relief suppmes IN aid
of the hurricane sufferers was $s24,-
S29. In the local elections General
Davis says there was never present at
or near voting place an armed force
and the "the bayonet was conspicuous
for it's absence" The main election
under the act of congress establishing
al insular legislature with one house
elective has not vet been held.
