TAX BILLS TO GO TO CAUCUS
GOVERNOR ODELL DETERMINED THAT
THEY SHALL PASS-THOROUGH
DISCUSSION TO BE AL
LOWED. HOWEVER.
LOWED, HOWEvE

The bills favored by Governor Odel relating
10 the taxation of insurance companies, savings
banks and trust companies are. it was under
stood last night by those enjoying the conf
dence OF the State leaders, 10 be be made Re
publican caucus measures after they have been
discussed and after the necessary hearings have
been afforded.
Governor OdeI had another talk with Senator
Platt at the Fifth Avenue Hotel yesterday.
Neither he nor the Senator would say anything
about legislative matters when they were seen
afterward.
From trustworthy sources IT was learned last
night that the insurance companies have shown
unexpected vigor IN beginning attacking the bill
which aims at taxing their surplus fund 1 per
cent This assault hardly a surprise to
Governor OdeI and his advisers, but the COM
panies showed so much earnestness that it was
considered wise on the part Of the Republican
leaders to pause for few days and examine
the strength OF their lines and also determine
the best offensive tactics in order bring about
a successful campaign.
It was said last night that the Governor was
disposed 70 allow the bills to be discussed and
perhaps amended in some OF their features. but
he is said TO be as unyielding as a rock on the
general proposition that the salient features OF
the bills shall be retained. An investigation Of
the Republican lines has shown the Governor.
II was said last night that there are few
weak spots and that the rule will repair
all these If It is necessary 70 resort 20 the
caucus
Republicans close to the Governor when asked
last night how the attacks Of the insurance
companies and banks and trust companies were
70 be withstood. smiled and said: Caucus"
It is practically certain that the bills will not
be damned" through.
The New-York Life Insurance Company has
presented its argument against the proposed
taxation Of it's surplus. Briefly stated It is that
the surplus of the company is not a New-York
State surplus. but rather a surplus accumulated
under no less than eighty-two different State
and National go ernments. -; that it is in
Justice and presumption to q, Ime that the
State Of New-York has a right impose a tax
OF l per cent il. The company s friends as
sert that il this State imposes tax OF ! per
cent the total Surplus. other State and Ma
tional governments would be prompted TO do
likewise, and that the aggregate tax might ut
terly destroy the company's business. The COM
pany fl is said, is willing to Day the l per cent
tax on the proportion Of the surplus contributed
by citizens Of this State, but further than that
IL viii not go.
This is perhaps the leading feature of the
argument of all the insurance companies, and
the Republican leaders are considering II.
Governor Odell viii go to Newburg this morn
ing and later to-day to Albany.

TAMMANY WASTING MONEY
DIRTY STREETS UNDER THE WIGWANrS
ADMINISTRATION COST MORE THAN
CLEAN ONES UNDER wARING.

The late Colonel Warnings denomination OF
the fact that the streets OF the city could be
kept clean by properly organized Street Clean
ing Department has not been forgotten by the
people OF New-York. Many have said that
Colonel Warnings success would make it i'm
possible for any administration OF the city gov
ernment TO allow the streets to remain dirty.
The late James Mccartney who was the first
Commissioner OF Street Cleaning TO succeed
Colonel Wa-ing, won considerable praise as a
Tammany official by resisting the demands OF
other Tammany leaders for patronage in his
department, and by keeping the streets clean.
Since Percival E. Nagle has been Commissioner
there have been many complaints about the
condition Of the streets in various parts OF the
city. Any New-Yorker who knows how 20 use
his eyes needs only to compare the condition of
the streets OF the city to-day with that In any
weather under Colonel Warnings administration
to be satisfied that the Street Cleaning Depart
ment is not effective as 1t formerly was.
Colonel Waring used 10 say that he wanted a
man. not a voter. at the end OF the broom
handle. He meant that he wanted men who
would work to keep their places. not men who
could be kept in their places by political infu-
ence II they did not work. II is understood by
the politicians at present that Tammany infu-
ence counts for more than hard work in keeping
places in the Street Cleaning Department. There
have been reports, too that there are influences
other than political to make places for men who
want Jobs there The result is that the city is
paying more for street cleaning now than II did
in Colonel Warnings time. and yet the thorough
fares are not kept so clean. Colonel Waring in
sisted on cleaning them regardless of cost, but
he spent less money in the former city of New
York annually for that purpose than Is being
expended annually in the same part OF the
greater city by p. f. Nagle
In 1897. the last year OF Colonel Warnings nd =
ministration. the total appropriation for street
cleaning in the present Boroughs OF Manhattan
and The Bronx was $1,000. 900. while last year
the total appropriation for street cleaning in the
same boroughs $3.5 500. .307. The cost Of clean
ing the streets OF the two boroughs should not
have been greater in 1900 than in 1897. because
there was no increase in the street mileage The
cost should have been less. in fact because the
replacing Of many miles OF cobblestone pave
ments with asphalt pavements made the work
OF the department easier. The contrast in the
cost Of actual street cleaning may be seen better
by comparison Of the sums spent In the two
years Tor street sweeping, for carting and for
the final disposition OF material, shown in the
subjoined table:

WHAT SENATORS SAY.
TIE VIEWS OF MESsRs. TELLER, FOR
AKER AND MONEY
-BE TELEGRAPH TO THE TRIBUNE. ]


Washington, Feb 1-Senator Teller, the rank
ing minority member OF the Committee on Rela-
tions with Cuba, whose opinions always receive
respectful consideration, talked freely with The
Tribune correspondent to-day. Senator Teller
is the author Of the fourth resolution in the
declaration Of war with Spain, which reads thus:
That the United States hereby disclaims any
disposition or intention 10 exercise sovereignty,
jurisdiction or control over said island (Cuba),
except for the pacihcation thereof. and asserts
its determination, when that is accomplished, TO
leave the government and control Of the island
70 its people.
In his comments on the foregoing resolution
Senator Teller has Pre- Jably outlined the course
OF the opposition TO the Government in solving
the Cuban problem.
4 resolutely hold" said he, that the resolu-
ton means exactly what it says, and as il was
adopted by both houses Of Congress without
question or dissenting voice. 1t expressed fully
and completely the National spirit and purpose.
How We can get around it at this time without
stultifying ourselves before the world am ut
terly at a loss to know. ] agree fully with Sen
ator Plat. OF Connecticut, that Congress has
neither the right nor the power to touch the
Cuban Constitution. but wholly at variance
with his contention that 1t is within province
or duty 10 admonish the Cubans 10 amend their
Constitution in any particular. Don't understand
me to mean that this Nations relations should
not be closer with Cuba than is provided for
In the Cuban Constitution. but we can accom-
plish by another and recognized method all that
Is needed IN that line. l feel certain that after
they organize their government the Cubans by
treaty VIII give us any reasonable advantages
IN their international relations that we may ask.
In fact, when was in Cuba with Senator Platt
ana other members OF our committee, / tacitly
received assurances TO this effect from some OF
the most intelligent and influential men on the
island. believe even If wanted a naval
base the Cubans gladly would grant it to us.
dhey realize that we are TO protect them from
every foreign foe. and. in view OF this fact they
doubtless would welcome adequate naval
iorce OF the United States at their doors But
this is about as far as we should go. or as much
as we should ask in that line

of the golden virtues. and 1t was characteristic
