Special 70 The Journal.
Chicago. Oct. 24-Walter Wellman, in
Washington special to the Record
Herald published this morning, says that
official advices have been received from
the Philippines that the violent outbreak
of rebellion in the island of Samar has
been traced to false rumOrs set in cir
culation among the natives concerning the
death Of President Mckinley. The ma
tives have been led to believe that Mr..
Mckinley was killed because he persisted
in attempting to subdue the insurrection-
lists in the Philippines. They have been
informed by their crafty leaders, aided
in many instances by friars, who are un-
friendly to the United States, and whose
word in such matters is accepted as gos-
pei truth, that Mr., McKinleys death was
decreed by the faction Of the American
people who are unfriendly to the govern
ment's Philippines policy; that a revOlu-
tion is impending in the United States,
and that if the patriots" Of the Philip
pines will only be true to their cause
they may yet secure their independence.
1t has been very easy, say the reports,
for the crafty leaders to induce their fol-
lowers to believe this story, as the ma
tives are both ignorant and credulous, and
in the past they have held exaggerated
ideas as to the extent of the American
sympathy with their cause. 1t is a Gu
rious circumstance that the bullet which
the miserable assassin fired at the presi
dent in Buffalo should have led also to
the death Of large number Of our brave
men in the islands of the Philippines.

CONTRARY ASSESSORS
They Disregard '"The Only Fair and
Legal Plan"

Chicago, Oct. 24-The tax decision
given to-day by the Illinois supreme
court relates to twenty-three corporations
enjoying municipal franchises, including
traction companies, gas companies and
electric companies, whose total capital
stock was estimated to be worth $37S,-
900, 900, all of which had escaped taxation
previously, and was likely to be omitted
again by the state board, which adjourned
last December without assessing this vast
amount of property.
The trial of the case was begun befoE-"
Judge Thompson, in Springfield, March 23,
and the decision was handed down May 2,
commanding the board to reassemble June
13 and assess these corporations in ac-
cordance with the rules Of the board In
regard to the assessment Of capital stock.
But the board not only neglected to make
the assessment, but repealed the rules
of the board on the subject, which had
been In force for thirty years and had
been sustained by the United States SUI
preme court as the only fair and legal
plan of assessment.
Broad as is the sweep Of this decision in
ITSELF it's logical results are much greater,
as the decision, 1t is said, really applies
Just as we'll to railroad corporations and
every other corporation in the state ana
may lead to the collection of back taxes.
Mayor Harrison said:
The decision adds $4,000, 600 to the funds Of
the state, and of this 81, ,00O,0 900 will come to
Cook county, where the teachers started the
fight 1t is now up to the board of equaliza-
ton to bow to the dictates of the court. One
effect it will have probably will be to squeeze
a lot of the water" out Of the stock OF vari-
Gus corporations.

years, he could scarcely have amassed over
$500, 100000. That figure is enormous and
far in excess of what financial men credit
him with. OF course his immense control
OF divers and sundry properties, securities.
ETC., gives him tremendous power, but
this power does not mean that Mr.. Morgan
has several hundred million dollars of his
own.
Like COrbin's Scheme.
Ihe debenture trust company scheme
which Austin Corbin worked so successful
| ly in London a few years ago, is not un-
like the proprietary concern which the
Morgan, Hill, Rockefeller, Hartman and
vanderbilt interests will establish for the
handling Of all railroad securities. Cor
bins plan was to pay from IS to 80 cents
on the dollar for and per cent mort
cages on land in southern states send
the paper to London and issue Az and <
per cent debentures against the security.
The trust companies would stand in the
gap and rely for profit on the differences
between the two classes of paper. amount-
ing to 11s to 21a per cent Similar inan-
cial concerns which operated in western
farm mortgages went down in heap be-
cause Of the shrinkage in values a few
years ago.
Under the new arrangement the mr.
chase or railroad shares and the issue of
collateral bonds, to be sold to the public
is contemplated.
AS real holders could not get at their
property except through the holding COM
panies, 1T is clear that companies having
few million dollars to operate with
could do thriving business.

TOLD OF MCKENZIE
Witness Says He "Went After Ev-
erything in Sight"
Ex-JUDGE JOHNSON TEsTIFIEs
Attorney of the Pioneer Mining Com
pany Contributes to the
Conspiracy Talk

Special to The Journal.
San Francisco Oct. 24.-Ex- Judge John
son OF Sitka, attorney for the Pioneer
Mining company at Nome, took the stand
in the Noyes hearing this morning. He
testified that soon after court opened
chambers he had called at the clerk S
office to see the papers in the Chipps
case. He had found the complaint but no
summons and the papers gave no evidence
of having been filed. Clerk Dickey, when
his attention was called to this, said the
papers had just been filed and he had no
time to enter them properly.
He said that when Mckenzie and his
officers came to take possession Of the
property OF the Pioneer company they had
seized everything including many small
"pokes" of gold dust, deposited by en-
ployes of the company for safe keeping.
A valuable set of diamond studs had also
been seized. Johnson declared that Nc
Kenzie went after everything in sight.
Several days after the appointment of Re-
ceiver Mckenzie, johnson says, he applied
to Judge Noyes to have certain papers
signed discharging the receiver. Noyes
declared that he would sign no papers for
McKenzies removal. During the trial OF
the Top Knot case, in which Cameron was
receiver Johnson had tried to show
huge conspiracy, but opposing attorneys
had objected. The next day he had told
Judge Noyes privately in chambers that
the conspiracy existed and that it was due
to the court that he know that Mckenzie
and his friends were boasting Of their in
f1uence with the court.
Noyes had asked what can you
prove?" Johnson replied Il can show
that Mckenzie owns one-third of that
Top Knot claim; that it Is held in trust
by Captain Mccormack that Mckenzie
owns the machinery; that Mckenzie fur
nished $500 worth Of damaged goods at
high prices to Receiver Cameron. All
these are part of a conspiracy"
johnson further testified that when
Judge Ross decision in the Mckenzie
contempt case had been received at Nome,
he had talked with Noyes, who said,
"They seem to be having it all their own
way down there, but it's my turn now.
shall fight, too
Attorney Pillsbury asked many Ques-
tions tending to show a criminal relation
between Noyes and the Mckenzie crowd,
but nothing important came out until
Judge Johnson mentioned Archie Wheel
er Pillsbury said
"Who was he?"
He was Judge Noyes private secretary
and also was attorney for Cameron, re-
ceiver in the Top Knot case.'

assessed value Of the tangible property Of
such company for the year 1900
And 1t is further ordered that in arriving
at such valuation and assessments OF the
capital stock, including the franchises of said
companies herenbefore named, said board,
and each member thereof, shall, from the best
information obtainable by II and them ascer-
tain and take into consideration, among
other things, as to each corporation the
same was on the first day Of April, 1900, the
market value, or If no market value, then
the fair cash value Of its shares Of stock and
the total amount Of all its Indebtedness ex-
cept the indebtedness for current expenses,
excluding from such expenses that amount
paid for the purchase or the improvement of
property and the assessed or equalized valu-
alton Of all tangible property of said corpo-
rations, respectively, on said April 1. 1900,
and you are further commanded to direct the
respective assessments so made to be certi-
fled by the said auditor Of public accounts to
the county clerk of Cook county, that the
taxes for all purposes thereon may be ex-
tended by said clerk for the year 1900. You
are further commanded to make return to
this court on the 18th day Of June, 1901 in
what manner you have complied with this
order"
The court does not by its said order under
take to control the discretion or judgment
of the respondents in the valuation or as
sessment Of the capital stock, including the
franchises, Of said corporations 1t only lays
down the rules Of law which govern and the
methods which should be pursued by the re-
spondents in making such valuation assess
ment. This we think proper. We have been
asked by the petitioner to Ak the date when
a return to the writ should be made. Such
order is not necessary. Under section 80 of
the practice act, upon filing in the trial
court certified copy Of the order of affirm
ance the same will operate as a precedence,
and that court will become renvested with
jurisdiction and may proceed as though no
appeal had been taken. Finding no revers-
ible error in this record, the judgment of the
circuit court Will be affirmed.

President to Meet Republican
Senators Next Week.
WON'T WASTE ENERGY
Anxious to Learn What Measures
Can Be Passed.
ADVICE AGAINST RECIPROCITY
This Seems to Be Expected From
Senator's AIdrfch and
Allison.


Washington, Oct. 24.-President Roose-
velt has arranged to meet the republican
leaders Of the senate next week for the
purpose of discussing with them measures
Of legislation that are likely to engage the
attention of the fifty-seventh congress.
His object Is understood to be to find
out what measures can be passed and
which ones will be defeated, so that he
can avoid the mistake Of urging the en-
actment Of legislation that will not have
the support of those senators whose infu
ence is powerful enough to pass or defeat
bills.
He has made an appointment with Sena-
tor Aldrich of Rhode Island to spend near
ly all day Monday at the White House.
Senator Aldrich is the most powerful and
Influential man in congress. Inasmuch as
he came to Washington last June and
warned the late President Mckinley that
no further reciprocity treaties would be
ratified by the senate and that no amend
tolerated by the friends Of that law. 1t is
presumed that he will say as much to
President Roosevelt.
Aldrich Is opposed to the Hanna Frye
ship subsidy bill in the form in which it
was introduced in the last congress and
presumably in its present form. The
Rhode Island senator favors an extensive
reduction of war tax revenues and will
doubtless urge the president to take a
strong stand on the subject.
After Senator Aldrich Senator Allison
OF Iowa, who is known to be opposed to
reciprocity and ship subsidy, will spend a
day with the president, gIving Colonel
Roosevelt the advantage of his views and
experience. Other republican leaders will
follow from day to day. The president s
message in most Of its essential features
will be largely a reflex Of what he will
learn from the senators.

the result that he found nature has sup

The President Wanted to Ride o.

The President Wanted to Ride on
the Locomotive.
Washington. Oct. 24.-President Roose-
velt and party returned to Washington
at 10:4O this morning. Small crowds
gathered at several points along the line
from New Haven here and cheered the
train as 1t passed. Only the necessary
stops were made, and the president spent
the time quietly within the car. Only a
few people had gathered at the station
here, but squad of police and detectives
and Chief Wilkie of the service, with sew
eral other officers guarded the approaches
The president had breakfasted early and
was in excellent spirits. He was clad in
rough sack suit and dark felt hat and
as he walked briskly down the long plat
form, smilingly acknowledged the greet
ings of the railroad employees. When he
reached the engine that had pulled the
train from Philadelphia, he reached up
his hand to the engineer and fireman and
said Goodbye"
II wanted" he said to them, Ito get
out on the engine this morning, but
didn't know whether I would be per-
mitted to. Now, next time I take a trip
/ want to ride on the engine.
The president was driven directly TO the
White House. He went Immediately to
his Office, where a large accumulation Of
business awaited him, and denied himself
to all callers.

nesses to attend the execution have been
issued by Warden Mead. The warden re-
fuses to reveal the names Of any Of the
witnesses. DR.. John Germ, the prison
physician. and possibly Dr.. Carlos Mac
Donald of New York will conduct the au-
topsy on the body.
The assassin spends much Of his time In
perusing the Roman Catholic literature,
printed in Polish, which the Rev. T.
Schadzinski of Rochester gave him. The
Polish priest, as well as the Catholic
chaplain of the prison, is convinced that
the doctrines Of anarchy have taken too
deep root in the assassin's heart, and
that it will probably be impossible to in
duce him to renounce them and embrace
the religion in which he was baptized. In
the opinion of these clergymen he will go
to his doom without having made his
peace with his creator.

Not In Operation For Two Years
BY Yerkes.
BY Associated Press:
New York, June 1.-THE Tribune's
London correspondent writing of Mr..
Yerkes' success in obtaining his own
terms from the Metropolitan district
railway, says that the work of sub
stituting electricity for steam cannot
be completed for two years, even If
the necessary legislation be secured
before August. The engineers are not
prepared to do anything until def
mite solution of the problem of vibra.
tions has been reached.
Lord Raleigh and his colleagues
reached certain tentative conclusions
but did not succeed in convincing the
engineers of the Central London and
other electric railways that the vibra-
tions could be obviated. Experiments
are in progress with improved motors.
An important one will be tried in a
few days with a Central London en-
gine on the Waterloo and City rail-
way. The transit problem cannot be
worked out until adequate measures
for avoiding the vibrations have been
adopted. f@

put line into Republic. Where the
branch from the Spokane Falls & Nor
thern would start is not known, but
makes little difference. The Republic
branch Of the road would connect with
the sew line to be constructed, known
as the Victoria, Vancouver & Eastern,
at Midway, thus giving Hill connec-
tions with the coast over British soil
and touching still more mining dis
tricts on the way. This Republic
branch, it is claimed, would be extend
ed to touch the Okanogan districts.
The smelter, it is stated, is not to
be constructed under the name of the
Great Northern, and probably Hills
name will not appear in the enterprise,
but it is to be under the control Of
the railway magnate and will be the
largest in the west.
It is claimed one strong inducement
to Hill to take such step is a re-
cent heavy drop in his freight traffic
in the west. The lead mines of Slo-
can are nearly all shut down on ac-
count of the low price of lead and
money has been lost by the Great
Northern on that account. In addi-
tion to this the recent bounty the Ca
madam government has offered for re-
flning of lead is still another induce
ment for such an enterprise.

McKinley's announcement disposing
Of the third term idea suggested by
some admirers, created no great sur
prise among his friends. When Sena-
tor Depew's suggestion that the presi-
dent should be reelected for the
third term began to be seriously dis
cussed the president decided that the
public mind should be instantly clear
ed OF even a suspicion that he was
seeking to become a candidate for an
other term. There was unanimous
concurrence of the cabinet in the be-
lief that any discussion of a third
term for the president, if allowed to go
on, would not only place the president
in false light but on the contrary
would arouse antagonism and would
embarrass the administration in the
solution of the great questions now
before it.

Truckee, Cal, June 8.-Harry Trott
was tarred and feathered last night
by the "Six Hundred and One" He
was ordered out of town a month ago,
but returned yesterday and defied the
vigilantes to make him go away
again. During the night he was sud-
denly surrounded by large body of
men, masked and heavily armed, who
put rope around his neck, took him
to the brick yard above town, tarred
and feathered him as far up as the
mouth and ears and turned him loose
with instructions to travel.
A lodging house keeper named Tor.
son attempted to raise the mask of
one of the vigilantes, but the masked
man knocked him down and kicked
him until he begged for mercy.
