BRITISH PLAN
 OF TAXATION 4 Change to the American Way Strongly Advocated
The Movement Takes Start at Glas- gow-It Contemplates System of Taxation of Land Values.

London, October 26.-Glasgow, ever alert in taking up the progressive is sues of municipal government, is lead ing the way toward d new system of taxation of land values in conformity with the American practice. The re- formers of that town have advocated for a long period a special assessment plan by which a portion of the eX- pensc of local improvement can be charged against the property directly benefited. This principle, in common use in America, is unknown il En- gland, and London progressives have also favored a betterment in the pres ent principle, and have urged the ne cessity for taxing ground rents and unoccupied land.
 An important conference summoned by the corporation of Glasgow was held yesterday at London to consider a rec ommendation to parliament for sub jecting the taxation of land values now exempt. It was a most influential body, with 16O delegate representing 124 borough, county and urban district councils of the United Kingdom. The first resolution. approving the principle Of taxation of land values for local
 
 unalimity. and the second one, favor i ing the introduction Of measure into parliament for carrying it into effect, was slightly modified and passed with only four dissenting votes. A commit tee was appointed fer taking direction of the movement. It was admitted that the proposed system would apply to the estates of the Duke of West minister, the Duke of Bedford and other large London land owners, and that ground rents would be levied upon tc the extent of two shillings to the | round.
 The proposed changes are the natural sequel to the steady increase in the eX- i pense of local government. which has fallen exclusively upon the tenants, un- built areas not being rated at all, and the cost Of permanent Improvements being defrayed cut of the ordinary rates based upon the rental values. l The unanimity of the conference, rep resenting go large a body of represent atives Of local governments, was re- markable

HALF TONE PHOTOS BY WIRE,
Test of Electrograph, Cleveland In
 vention to Be Made Today.

New York, October 26.-PhotOgraphs will be sent by telegraph for the first time in New York today.
 The electrOgraph, a newly invented machine. which transmits half tones from photographs, will have it's initial New York test in the offices of Arthur Leslie No. 1o2 Fulton street, Manhat- tan, tomorrow morning. Crude out line drawings have been mechanically transmitted by wire before, but the clcCtrograph is to flash reproductions over a 1.O0O- mile circuit, preserving in the finished resultant picture every photographic detail.
 Pictures can he sent by q telegraph operator over any wire over which he can send words, it is stated
 ' Before the electrograph was 90 near mitted over 800 miles of wire a faith ful replica of a half tone portrait of Senator Hanna; Mayor Lows photo graph 500 miles, and Marconi's HOO.
 The inventors are young men, H. R. Palmer and Thomas Mills of Cleveland, Ohio. F. B.

THE MAD MULLAH's PLAN.
It Was Strategic. but Was Disarrarged
 by the Drouth.

Lcndon. October 26.-h dispatch from Sinnla, India, to the Daily Mail, reports that Colorel Swayne and his forces are continuing their march. from Bohitle to Berbera, Somaliland, east Africa. and that they are not pursued.
 A correspondent of the Daily Mail who is with the force under Colonel Swayne says the Mad Mullah's original idea to hold and fortify Mudug, where he would command the only wells available, and compel Colonel Swayne to attack him at tremendous disaG- vantage, was good one, but waG spoiled by the unexpected drouth and terrible heSt, which dried up the wells and killed the nlullah's live stock and ponies by the thousand.
 Finally, in the beginning of October, it was reported that the mullah's forces were scattered, and that the mullah himself had only a few rifle men with him. It was then that Swaync decided to advance on the cha of a decisive engagement that would result in the mullah's capture.
