~T WAS with the report that the
cession Of Louisiana to Spain
was irrevocable that Milhet re-
turned to New Orleans from
France, after the Port of New
- orleans aud of the whole colony
with it had been almost closed
against trade by the decree un-
der which the Spanish authority had
assumed It's regula ton as royal mo-
nopoly. The paper money of the col
ony was another cause of difference
with Spain, as the colonists insisted
thai the French government would
have raised it to par, while Ulloa would
recognize 1t only at it's current value.
In attempting to do something to con-
cilate the revolutionary temper of the
PEOPLE, he ordered the troops to be paid
in paper money-a fatal mistake, as 1t
lost him their confidence and took away
the last support on which he could
rely.
I.afreniere now organized the revolu-
tionary association which resulted in
the brief existence of Louisiana as the
first autonomous community in North
America. The principal members of the
revolutionary association were Lafre-
Mere himself, who was still the attor-
ney general of the colony; the intend
ant commissary" Of the colony, Fou-
cault, who afterwards deserted his as
sociates; Chevalier Masan, who was a
knight of st. Louis, wealthy planter
and former captain in the French
army; Captain Noyan and Lieutenant
Bienville, nephews of the celebrated
Eienville, founder of the colony: Jean
and Joseph Milhet, Commander VIII
lare, of "the German coast" Hardy de
Eoisblanc, a, former member of the Su-
rerior council, and in addition to these
Doucet, Hogan, Marquis, Caresse, Pet
it, Poupet, and a number of others,
nearly all prominent in the affairs Of
the colony. They met generally at the
house of Madame Pradel, who was

sense of the word. The house was re-

FIXING RAILROAD VALUES
E. ROsewater Asks for Hearing Before

Corporation Property Takes Form
which May Lead to
Results.
trrom a star Correspondent,

LINCOLN, May 12.-(Special.)-E Rose
water, accompanied by E. W. Simeral, APP
peared before the State Board of EqualiEa-
tion this morning to plead for the fixing
Of a higher and more equitable valuation
OF railroad property Of the state. At the
conclusion OF his few brief remarks the
board agreed to listen to his statement
next Wednesday afternoon. Mr.. Rosewater
called attention to the TACT that the rail-
roads pay only one-sixth Of the taxes OF
the state, which Is a smaller proportionate
burden than that borne by the other tax
payers
Governor Savage remarked that he was
glad to get all the light that can be
thrown upon the subject, and expressed
himself as willing to stay there six months
II necessary to probe the matter to the
bottom. He declared that instead Of being
$3.50 000, 900, the aggregate state valuation
should be more than $1,000, 100000. Auditor
Weston asked some questions concerning
the scope of the investigation, and Mr..
Rosewater stated that he did not feel jus
titled in attempting to discuss the subject
in all its bearings until he had examined
records on nle in the auditors ONCE.
1t now transpires, since this action was
begun, 1t has leaked from the upper story
of the state house that the democratic lead
ers of Omaha and Lincoln had seriously
discussed the propriety Of starting the very
proceedings which were begun today, with
the anticipation that they could make
capital for their candidates in the coming
campaign. r. l.. Metcalfe Of the World

present during the brief discussion inter-
rupted to inquire whether or not the taxes
on the Bee building had been paid. to
which Mr. Rosewater replied that the Bee
Building company had paid in the last ten
years approximately 100000 In taxes, OF
which amount $1,000 was paid last year.

COMPROMISE IS PROBABLE
Satisfactory Terms Fon Danish West
India Sale Facilitated by
Opponents Yielding.

COPENHAGEN. May 12.-The conference
committee of the Danish Parliament ap-
pointed to consider the action Of the two
houses on the Danish West Indies treaty,
has commenced its sittings. II held two
executive sessions today. The opponents
OF the sale of the islands seem inclined to
yield to the demand of the ministry for q
plebische relinquishinG their former pro-
posal limiting the vote to those who are
qualified to vote for the election Of mem>
bers of the colonial council, that scheme
having aroused popular approval.
The members of the opposition, however,
insist on withholding fnal judgment on the
treaty until after a plebiscite, which, they
contend, is necessary to show the real tenn
per OF the islanders. They are willing to
bind themselves to agree to the ratification
on specified conditions before the elections.
The ministry will not agree to such a
course, preferring to let the matter rest
until after the September elections, when
the Landsthing Is likely to give the minis
try a majority enabling It to secure the
ratification Internationally. knowledge of
this will in all probability conduce to a
satisfactory compromise with the opposi-
tion.

DOES NOT LESSEN ACREAGE
Import Duty on Grain, Says CbRneel-
Tor of Exehequer, Has mo-
Eject on Cultivation.

LONDON! May 12-The ehancellor of the
.exchequer, Sir Michael Hicks Beach, has
yielded to the storm Of disapproval
aroused by the feature in the financial bill
affecting checks and today definitely an
nounced In the House of Commons the
withdrawal Of the extra tax OF / penny
placed on checks. He added that he re-
served the right to impose another tax to
meet the resulting deficiency.
On the second reading of the finance bill
Sir William Vernon -Harcourt (liberalj
moved that ''This house declines to i'm
pose duties on grain, -four and other food
of the people," During the course of his
speech Sir William urged that the innova-
tion contravened the fundamental principle
Of sound finance.
The chancellor OF the exchequer in reply
ing denied that there had been any gem
eral rise in the price Of bread for mo-
ment The demand was greater than the
supply. but It must not be forgotten that
while 1t was necessary for Great Britain
to obtain wheat and -four from America
end other quarters, II was equally neces-
sary for them to send their products to
this country. 1t was absurd to suppose
that the 3-penny duty on grain could cause
single acre to go out of cultivation in
America. She must send her wheat here
on account of the protective duties else
where.
The production of grain throughout the
world was increasing at greater ratio

producers and carriers Of grain would pay
the new tax II there was a big crop. 1t
was necessary to impose additional taxation

cALvo SAYS PEACE PREVAILS
Minister from Costa Rica Declares
There is No InsurrectiOn in
That Country.

WASHINGTON. May 12-Mr. Joaquin
Bernard Calvo. the minister from Costa
Riea at Washington, issued today the fol-
lowing statement:
The news from Panama published today
to the effect that the military element in
the neighborhood of San Jose, Costa Rica,
Is in insurrecuon, refusing to recognize
the authority of Don Ascension Esquival
is incorrect. There is no insurrection al
any place in that country President t-elect
Esquival was inaugurated on the 8th in
slant according to law and the news of
this fact was oficially communicated 10
the legation OF Costa Rica at Washington
on the 9Th instant, everything being quiet
there as usual.
The assertion that the insurrectionists
nraniainninE leader that !i,,-. mi
want TO lead explains in itself that the
report from Panama is incorrect.
The important changes that had been
made among the government oficials and
especially in the cabinet are facts simply
consequent to the, change of administra-
ton as Il occurs elsewhere.
There Is no insurrection In Costa Rica.
