Municipal Councils May License Lii

AguinaIdO,s Narrow Escane.

Manila, Jan. 1S.-The public discussion
of the general code of government for mu-
inequalities began to-day. Commissioner
Dean c. Worcester outlined the bill ana
explained the changes from the general
orders of the Military Governor, under
which many local governments were op-
Grating. Commissioner Worcester offered
two amendments, disqualifying from vot-
ing and holding Office men who violate their
oath of American allegiance, or who re-
main in armed opposition after February
The commission elucidated the taxation
features, referring to the benefits of tax
ing lands and buildings as against the
present special taxes on occupations and
industries.
One-fourth of l per cent. of proceeds of
real estate assessments will be devoted
to public schools.
Municipal councils are authorized to
license theaters, places for liquor selling,
public conveyances hotels and cock fight
ing, or to prohibit cock fighting, for the
first year until the tax collections are
available.
Half of the internal revenue of each
municipality will be paid into the munich
pal treasures.
Commissioner Worcester did not en-
large on the section confining the exemp-
tion of church property to properties used
exclusively for religious, charitable or
educational purposes. This much discuss
ed feature received the approval of the
administration at Washington previous to
the making public of the bill. The bill
centralizes considerable responsibility in
the provincial governmthts, for the estab
lishment of which another bill is being
prepared.
The public discussion which is taking
place in the municipal hall is proceeding
by sections, the natives participating. 1t
is rumored that Aguinaldo visited his
mother in Cavite province and narrowly
escaped capture during the recent round
I'D of one of the villages in Cavite.

WCT0RIA'S Ill HEALTH.
Perfectly quiet and Abstain From
TransactinE Business.

Osborne, Isle of Wight Jan. 1s.-The
Queen has not lately been in her usual
health and is unable for the present to
take her customary drives. Rumor re-
garding her illness have alarmed the pub
tic and adversely affected the stock ex-
change
The following announcement regarding
the Queens health has been made
known:
THE Queen during the past year has
had great strain upon her powers,
which has rather told upon her nervous
system. 1t has therefore been thought
advisable by Her Majesty's physicians
that Her Majesty should be kept perfectly
quiet in the house and should abstain for
the present from transacting business" -.
London, Jan. 19.-At Osborne House It
is fully understood that there is no cause
for alarm beyond what would naturally
be felt at the indisposition of any one of
the Queens age. The official announce
ment issued last evening has caused a
shock to the country, the effect of which
it would be difficult to exaggerate No
one, not even the Prince of Wales, can
act for the Queen without the authority
of Parliament; and, as no steps have been
taken to summon Parliament it may be
taken for granted that Her Majesty's
physicians have only adopted measures of
precaution and that she is still able to
sign any absolutely imperative documents,
though relieved of the worries of the
routine affairs.
1t is understood that the arrangement
for the Queens visit to the South of
France are proceeding on the lines orig
inaIly laid down, and it is quite likely
that rest and abstention from work will
enable her to undertake the journey
earlier than was originally intended.
All the morning papers comment upon
the unlooked-for possibilities of the stu
alton, but they do not regard it as alarm
