Taxing Franchises.

The city council at Its last meeting
passed an ordinance imposing heavy
license tax upon the owners of certain
franchises. The ordinance strikes the
telephone companies with the most
momentum, II requires them to pay
to the city as license tax fifteen per
cent Of their gross receipts for rentals,
The telegraph companies come In with
tax Of ~ 90 per month for each In
strument II IS estimated that the
tax on the telephone companies alone
will amount to about $2 900 per annum
and that collected from the telegraph
companies will be no mean sum, The
holders OF such franchises usually reap
big profits and as Il general principle
q council will not miss the
proper thing very much to tax them
heavily, However we think tia mat
ter Of grave doubt whether the city
will be able TO collect this tax with any
less trouble than the one levied against
the foreign wholesale companes. Is ig
corporations with big profits don't pay
big taxes without big fights
We learn that the Postal Telegraph
Company has four instruments which
under the ordinance would impose a
tax Of eight dollars per month. The
Western Union including the. instru-
ments at the depots maintains about
twenty instruments, which would
make their tax amount TO forty dol
lars per month. The two companies
would pay $4,000 per year in taxes
under this ordinance, IL 1t ia collected,
The companies are considerably agi-
tated In the matter and, the council
will no doubt hear from them.

ARMY VACANCIES
TO BE FILLED
BY GRADUATES

Washington, April AT the present
time there are lis vacancies in the grade
of second lieutenant in the army. OF
these, 68 are in the infantry arm, IA in
the artillery and q in the cavalry. There
will probably be few more places in
each, depending upon the results of
pending examinations for promotion.
About half these vacancies will be filled
by this years graduates from the West
Point military academy and half the re-
mainder through the customary exami-
nation of non-commissioned officers in
the regular service. This will leave
about 80 vacancies for civilians, and the
preference for these will be given to the
young men now serving in the volunteer
regiments in the Philippines and to the
sons Of soldiers killed in the Spanish war.

sition to transfer the necessary territory
to the control of the United States.
Though she will not relinquish her sover-
eighty over it, and she has promised her
cooperation in the construction of the
canal.
There is reason to believe that Rear
Admiral Walker propounded certain
questions to the Colombian government,
but what their character is the authors
ties decline to state. It is understood they
covered contingencies growing out of the
possible purchase of the Panama canal by
the United States but the information OBJ
tained from the Bogota authorities is not
considered as important as that which
Walker got from Costa Rica and Nicar-
aqua.
There are 1900 men at work on the
Panama canal and considerable progress
is being made, though slowly in con-
structing the waterway. The Isthmian
canal commission has a surveying party
on the Panama waterway checking up the
work done by the company and making
borings to ascertain the difficulties re-
naming to be overcome.
There is also a party surveying the
Darien route but the commission is satis-
fed that there is no possibility Of satis-
factory route being discovered at this
point.
Several changes have been made in the
personnel of the parties surveying the
Nicaraguan and Darien routes. The saw
ages in the Darien territory have stren-
uously opposed the landing of foreigners,
and traders have been compelled to re-
turn at night to their boats. Lieutenant
Commander Nathan Sargent. command
ing the Scorpion, the gunboat assigned to
the commission, succeeded in making
treaty with the savages, which permitted
the American surveyors to remain on
shore at all times without molestation.
When Rear Admiral Walker was asked
if he would say anything concerning his
interviews with Presidents Zelaya and
Igleslias he declared, emphatically, that
he had not conducted any negotiations
with them. though he would not deny
that he had discussed with them various
matters affecting the canal

COLLAPSE Of
THE BIG DAM

San Antonia, Texas, April 9.-Jeff Nc
Lemore, who was an eye witness Of the
collapse of the dam at Austin, thus de-
scgibes it:
II was gazing at the great body of
water as it swept gracefully over the
crest of the dam, carrying with it acres
of drift that parted as it went down the
falls. The water over the crest was more
than 10 feet in depth and was rising at
the rate of 1S inches an hour. The fall of
the water was about 40 feet and the roar
ling and surging that it produced can be
better imagined than described. 1t was
grand and awe inspiring and nothing, in
my opinion, could compare with it except
the falls cf Niagara.
s"V hile thus looking noticed a sudden
commotion Of the waters near the center
OF sthe dam. For moment the water
seemed to recede, but it was only for a
moment: It then shot upward in tre-
nlendous spout to height of SO feet and
/ saw that the dam was giving away.
when, the break occurred, the distance
from the crest of the wave as it rolled
over the dam to the water below was
about 40 feet. Imagine, then if you can,
body OF water 40 feet in height and of
great width and le lgth suddenly released
from confinement. and you will have a
faint idea of the sceen that I witnessed
at the dam across the Colorado river.
'Once released from its confinement the
water subsidized rapidly, and then it was
I seen how the break had occurred. The
dam was not toppled over, but instead
large section, beginning near the cen.
ter and extending toward the east bank
was moved bodily down the stream dis
tance of at least 40 feet. Another Sec
ton extending to within 30 feet Of the
headgate of the masonry on the east end
was also moved down the stream a dis
tance of 0or SO feet. Between these
two displaced sections there was gap
of about 100 feet where the dam had COM
pleteiy disappeared and 1t was not long
before the section nearest the center also
| crutibled and Disappeared. Had the re-
i. manning displaced section also tumbled
down, the power house, which went down
few hours later would probably have
been saved. AS it was. this section
j threw heavy current against the power
house which eventually undermined the
west wall of the building and caused it tc
collapse"

B0ERS ARE NOW RA|D|NG
IN SOUTH Of FREE STATE

London. April 9.-An amazing activity
OF the Beers to the southeast and the
southwest of Bloemfontein continues, the
going throughout the wide region as they
pleased. but taking good care not to
throw themselves against the strong
bodies of British. The retirement of Irish
Rifles from Rouzville to Alwal leaves
General Brabant without communication
with other British forces. He has 1000 or
5000 colonials holding fine defensive
country. but he is apparently invested SO
far as London knows. Telegraph and
railroad communications with Bloemfon-
tein are kept up as usual but nothing
comes through for public consumption.
Roberts last message was dated April s
and the last unofficial message bore the
date Of April z. Absence of any news. as
usual, disheartens people and produces
discouraging effects.
The last unofficial messages note that
good spirits prevail at Bloemfontein and
that there is a continual arrival of ami
mails, and that two fresh cavalry regi-
ments have arrived.
In the Orange Free State the situation
u complex, with scanty material for
forming correct estimate of the situa-

Maseru, Saturday, April THE Beers
brand to the number of 10000. after seiz-
ing Thaba N'Chu, and the Modder River
water works, broke up into strong divis-
ions and they are now raiding in the
south of the Free State, reoccupying the
small towns which were evacuated by the
British. The Beers policy seems to be to
make rapid movements. with little trans
port, looting English farmers and store
keepers freely for provisions and cutting
the communications of the British forces.
General Brabant's colonials are now
mostly at Wepener. They are splendid
force capable of great striking power and
used to cross country riding and are able
to deal roughly with the Boer COM
mandoes now roaming about the country
A squadron of Brabant's horse captured
400 rifles near Wepener. His outposts are
reported to be in touch with the Beers
and fight is regarded as imminent.
Persistent reports are being circulated
that the Beers are preparing to flank the
British position at Wepener and thus Sc
cure an entrance into Rasutoland. Such
an attempt will be resisted by the Basu-
toland government which, it is believed
has made quiet preparations for the
struggle.
Meanwhile the approach of the armie.
