WASHINGTON LETTER.


Your correspondent procured a
few days since, at the lnsular
Bureau in the city, copy Of the
new internal revenue laws which
the Philippine Commission has
adopted for the purpose of secur-
ing a revenue for the government
of the Islands under their care.
But few Of the phamplets have
been received in the United States,
and there has been quite demand
for them. The tax falls principal
ly upon alcoholic liquors, tobacco
in it's various forms, upon saloons
and dance halls. circuses and
places of amusement, requiring
license the same as in the United
States. The usual pains and
penalties are provided for false re-
turns and for derelictions on the
part of the officers of the internal
revenue. The anti-imperalists
seem disposed to find fault with the
fact that there is to be any internal
tax at ALL or that the Filipinos
should be obliged to contribute to-
wards the support of any form of
government. The President of
the Union Pacific Railroad, who
has just arrived in this city from
Manila, says that in his opinion
what the people need out there is
good highways, instead of rail
roads. They should run to all
parts of the country thus enabling
farmers to get their produce to the
market. He took run over
Japan and noticed that that coun-
try is abundantly furnished with
good roads, and that most of the
supplies for the army We're carried
to the sea board along these routes
in preference to using railroads.
The Philippine Commission, which
has been touring in America for
long time, and IS about to depart,
speaks Of the United States as
the mother county. ~ which Is
little curious, and expresses its
gratitude Tor the hospitality re-
ceiyed. 1T also gives the President
the homage OF their most respect
Iul considerations" The indica-
tlons are chat the Philippine ques-
tion will cut but small figure in
the pending campaign.
The venerable but hearty and
handsome Senator Stewart, Of
Nevada, who announces that he
will retire from politics at the end
OF the 5Sth Congress, has an Office
in the Bond building in this city

A SWIMMING RATTLER
Two Small Boys Kill Big Rattle
Snake

Don and Cecil. two young sons Of
W. A. Msasie Of Merlin, had an ad.
venture recently with rattlesnake in
which the reptile performed in a man
ner quito surprising to many who be-
lievcd Themselves we'll acquainted
with the habits Of his noxious crea-
lure
The boys discovered the snake under
a rock near the tank of Rogue river.
They prepared Immediately for its de-
strutcion. The snake was coiled ap-
parently for battle bat when the boys
opened hostllitics. the snake sprang
into the river to esca and headed
directly across the stream. One of the
boys ran for his boat, short distance
down the river and crossed TO intercept
the snake while the other stood on the
bank and watched il swim across. II
swan strongly until it reached the
middle Of the stream, after which il
seemed to lose strength and by the
time il crawled out on the other shore
it was almost exhausted and seemed
barely able to gain the shelter of u
willow, where it was soon dispatched
with an oar by the young boatnan.
Rattlosnakes are usually associated
with tho dryest and hottest rock hill
sides aud the incident of one taking to
the water TO escape an enemy is very
unusual
