ambushed by striking miners about
1880 o'clock this morning while
marching over the hills from Glenn
Run to Coal Hollow.
About five hundred shots were fred
and four persons were wounded, but
as far as known no one was killed.
The miners were all foreigners.
Shortly after midnight sixty-three
armed guards started over the hills
from Glenn Run for Coal Hollow. The
strikers who were incensed over an
assault on one of their number gath
cred at point about midway between
the two mines.
There were ESQ men all armed and
they secreted themselves behind trees
and rocks along the hillsides. The
guards were in single file and as the
advance came in view one of the strik-
ers fired in the air. This was the sig
nal, and following it there was a per-
feet fusillade from the concealed men.
Many of the guards broke ranks and
ran back to Glenn Run but a num-
ber stood their ground and returned
the fire. Two miners were also in
jured.
The situation is quiet now and no
more trouble Is expected.

Senator Hansbrough's Bill In

CORPORATION CLAIMS
MEANS CoNFISCATION
Under the Bill the Companies Will be
Made to Pay Their Just
Share Of Taxes.
Special to the Evening Times.

Special to the Evening Times.
New York, June 2.-The Tribune
publishes the following from its Wash
ington bureau: ,}st
The bill, reported from the senate
committee on the district of Columbia
by Mr.. Hansbrough providing an in
crease in taxes paid by the public
service corporations of the district,
has created the deepest interest in
corporation circles here. On the part
of the public utility people it is
claimed that the bill practically con-
flscates their property and that it will
drive them into the hands of a re-
ceiver. Over against this assertion is
the contention of Senator Hansbrough,
whose work for the people of the dis
trict as opposed to the corporation is
widely appreciated, that, under
the bill as proposed by him, the pub
lie utility people cannot be obliged to
pay any higher rate of taxation than
is being paid by the private citizen
The general rate of taxation in the
District of Columbia is one and one
half per cent on two-thirds valua-
tion. In other words the private citi-
zen who has property worth $4,000,
pays one and one-half per cent on
$4,000. The street railway corpora
tions pay under existing law four per
cent on their gross receipts, which
last year were 1882 900. They pay
also a police tax which amounts to
$4,000, but Mr.. Hansbrough's bill
proposes to relieve them of the latter.
The taxation section of Mr.. Hans
brough,s bill provides for the payment,
IN addition to the four per cent on
gross receipts. tax of twelve per
cent on net earnings. This, predicated
upon their business of 1905. would re-
suit in the payment of tax by the
instead of $150.000 the amount paid
last year.
There is proviso in the bill which
gives the companies the option of
paying one and one-half per cent, or
the same rate the private citizen pays
upon an assessment based upon an
appraisement to be made by the proper
district officials. So that the corpora
ton, If 1t finds that the new rate pre-
dicated upon gross receipts and net
earnings exceeds one and one-half
per cent, can paw the latter rate in
stead.
1t is claimed by the friends of the
bill, that the rate of taxation in the
District of Columbia is lower than in
any other part of the United States,
and that there should be no objection
on the part of the corporations to pay
ing one and one-half per cent on a
fair appraisement. So it would not
seem, if the bill becomes law, that
the property of the district corpora
tfons would pass into the hands of a
receiver, or be confiscated.

and at each of the subsequent demo-
cratic national conventions German
figured as possible presidential can
didate. but each time he missed his
goal, and sometimes. as it seemed, by
a very narrow margin.
Senator German was ever better
politician than statesman. He was
not an orator in any sense of the word,

Maryland legislature. In 1872 Mr.
German became president of the
