COUNAY TAX.

The city Of South Portland recently
paid its county tax in full and Scarboro
has partially settled. The amount thus

thissyear's county tax is $50, ,695. .33.

for years has stood out far
above all others. 1t is followed
and looked up to by the rest
just as a school of art follows
and looks up to its master and
originator 1t never has been
cheap; never tried to be. The
standards that made this ware
a great many years ago have
never been lowered. The ex-
pense of making the Haviland
China has hardly been consid-
cred. The question has always
been, and is: "Can we do any
thing to make the China bet
ter?" We show a complete
line of Haviland China in din
ner or tea set, stock pattern,
and odd pieces.

FIXED FOR AN OUTBREAK.
To Throw Bombs Among LawtoO's
Funeral Procession,
LARGE SHIPMENTS TOBACCO.

Manila, Jan. -Four explosive
bombs, few firearms and 500 rounds
OF ammunition were discovered In a
house in the center Of Manila while
the police were seeking Recarte, tho
insurgent leader who was said to have
come TO Manila In the hope Of effecting
an outbreak by taking advantage of
the mobilization Of the American troops
at General Lawton's funeral,
1t developed that the plot included
the throwing OF bombs among the for
cign consuls attending the ceremony,
In order TO bring about international
complications These, 1t seems, were
TO have been thrown from the Escoltas
high buildings, but the avoidance of
the Escolta by the funeral procession
spoiled the plan,
The populace 1t is thought, had been
prepared for the attempt by rumor
circulated widely among the natives
that Aguinaldo was in Manila and
would personally lead the outbreak
The American authorities, having been
advised OF what was brewing, prepared
for all contingencies
Captain Morrison who commands the
troops In the most turbulent district of
the city, sAys he does not believe an
actual uprising will ever occur as the
natives lack the resolution TO take the
first steps in movement that would
entail fighting at close quarters with
the American troops,
Vast amounts Of tobacco estimated
TO be worth S9,OO0,OO0, are ready for
shipment to Manila, The opening of
the ports Of Dagupan, San Fernandino,
Vigan, Laoag and Apart tomorrow
will permit the resumption Of trade,
beinging relief to communities greatly
IN need of foodstuiIs. Many vessels
have already cleared from Manila for
these ports,
Incoming Spanish prisoners declare
that Aguinaldo has ordered the release
of all Spaniards now in possession Of
the rebels, The mountain passes of
Cagayan and the two Ilocos provinces
are still guarded, in the hope Of catch
ing the insurgent general Tino, who is
still fugitive, 1t is asserted that
Lieutenant Gilmore Is in Tino's Gus
tody.

.DUN'S TRADE SUMMARY.
Fewer Failures With Greatly De-
creased Liabilities,
COTTON is LOWER AND SLOW,

New York, Jan, i,-R, G., Dun &
Co.'S weekly review OF trade says no
correct report Of failures Of 1900 can
be made until the year closes, A col
lapse OF speculation in copper stocks
has swelled the aggregate at Boston
alone over Sis,0OOOOO within few
days and might yet add to the record
The failures thus far reported are few
er In number than any year since 1883
and smaller in amount Of commercial
liabilities than in any year since 1881
The aggregate Of defaulted liabilities
Is Sl20, 100000, but nearly two-thirds
Of the banking liabilities were added
within few days, the aggregate
reaching about 100000, 900, The com
mercal liabilities have been aboat
$50, 500, 900, though exact returns for n
few recent failures are not yet OBJ
tainablc, In no other years EXCEPT
1881, with defaulted liabilities
Of ISL 1855, ,032, and 1880 with 500, 752,-
900 have failures been as small since
the agency commenced quarterly re-
turns In 1875, The average of liabili.
ties per failure is less than $4,000, the
smallest in any year Of the twenty-five,
gratifying evidence that commercial
liabilities are further removed than
usual from the point of danger,
Atlantic exports Of wheat, flour in
cluded, have in four weeks been only
s,27s,Ols bushels, against 1854, ,5O7
last year, and Pacific exports 3,3l4, ,271,
against 3,s56,s0s, The corn exports
continue about as large as last year,
but cotton exports have been less than
half Of December 'Os, with some de-
crease on takings of spinners, Ac-
cumulatcd stocks in mills and markets
both here and abroad were so large
that there is no haste to pay the prices
asked. The industries arc closing the
most extraordinary year Of their his
tory. Long established branches have
undergone u veritable reconstruction,
vastly increasing their capacity, while
new industries which scarcely existed
q year or two ago have enlisted vast
capital, altered modes of business and
production in almost every direction
and improved conditions for the future
almost beyond calculation, Electrical
development in light, heat and power,
in making cataract work, performing
wonders ~ over the land, deserve
especial attention. For such recon-
struction the increases in demand for
iron and steel products is the great
feature of the year,
Hutchinson gazette., 1900-01-04

Washington, Jan, l.--Mr Crumpack-
er, representative from Indiana,
wants the director Of the census to in
corporate into his work the require
ment that white male voters of over 81
years, who actually vote, shall be
enumerated and percentage given of
those who vote as to those who are of
voting age, This important thing has
to do with the effort now being made
TO reduce the representation of southern
states because of the restriction in
franchise, colored voters being barred
In almost every southern state.
