Legislature Repeats Act Making a
Legal Fight Imperative.

Providence, r. l., Jan. 14.-1n order that
the state of Rhode Island may escape
embarrassing consequences from the act
rushed through in the final hour of the
last Legislature compelling the state to
worth of bonds of the state of North
Carolina and to sue the latter state for
payment of the coupons on these bonds,
the House today unanimously voted to re-
peal the act.
The House also unanimously adopted
a resolution directing Gen. Treas. Walter
A. Read to return the bonds in question
to the state of North Carolina. The re-
peal and the resolution both were intro
duced by Rep. Harry Cutler of Provi-
dence
When the two measures reached the
Senate the matter was already under dis
cussion in that body. Senators Arnold
of Westerly and w. III. p. Bowen of
Providence both proposed measures for
the return of the bonds and also giving
matter of accepting future gifts to the
state The whole matter was finally re-
ferred to the judiciary committee. No OPP
position was expressed to the repeal OF
the law and the return of the bonds to
North Carolina.
In response to criticism by several
senators of the action of the last Legisla-
ture in passing the act. Senator Oscar
A. Bennett of Woonsocket explained that
the legislators had been given to under
stand that this was simply gift to the
state from some public spirited citizen
for the purpose of metropolitan park i'm
provement.
The bonds were presented to the state
by the committee of North Carolina bond
holders of New York.

QUAIL TAXATION IN FARM
ING DISTRICTS.

Marquette. Mich. oct. i2.-That the
mines of Michigan should not be sim
gled out as the goat" In the investi-
cation for the purpose OF righting ex-
isting inequalities In assessed valua-
ton OF taxable property. which is likely
To be made In this state within the
next two years, is shown by compar-
ing the different township valuations
returned by the boards of review, par
ticularly i'm the matter of personal
property. Secretary Lords contention
that there is just as much tax lodging
I'm the rural districts as with the min
ing companies appears to be borne out
by conditions in Marquette county.
The valuation of taxable personal
property returned by the various
boards OF review i'm the township and
passing interest, i'm many instances.
Skandia township, for instance, which
is considered as an agricultural town
ship, reports its personal property val
uation at only s5,925. In addition to The
farming wealth of this township, il
contains the Yalmar and New Dalton
lumber mills, the latter of which is
one of the largest in the eastern part
of the county; general stores at Yal-
mar and New Dalton a creamery and
two large general stores at Skandia.
Chocilay township. adjoining Skan-
dia, and of the same general charac-
ter and population, returns personal
property to the amount of $11,92O.
Powell township. with a very small
farming population and the Northern
Lumber company. the Lake Independ
ence Lumber company and the Ives
Lake farm as its principal developed
resources returns 1880 i'm personal
property. West Branch township,
with quite a respectable agricultural
population, reports no personal prop
erty whatever. Wells and Turin re-
port about $500 each. Sands $1,000
and Negaunee township $4,000.
In the township In which mining is
erty appears to be valued on n more
nearly equal basis. Humboldt returns
$4,000: Michigamme. siO.750; Ely. s94,-
1S0: Republic, s297,500; Forsyth,
s569,s91 Champion, $192,67o; Rich
mond. $2i.3S4, and Tilden, $a6,600.
Marquette city returns personal
property i'm the sum of $780,. 1886; Ish-
peming. s1.719.06O. and Negaunee, ST.
122,4OS. II these figures show any
thing, they show that the rolls of the
agricultural districts need revsmping
Just as much as do those i'm the min

Paris oct. 1.-THE government is
today confronted with a strike of rail-
road employees that is rapidly spread
ing throughout the republic and
threatens to become general by tomor-
row. In that event 100000 men will
be involved.
Traffic Is disorganized and railroad
managers cannot possibly cope with
the situation. 1t is upon the govern
ment, therefore, that the burden of the
situation rests. The cabinet is deter
mined to take the bull by the horns
and has called the strikers to the
coors in their capacity as reservists.
The strikers declare they will not re-
spond, holding the law for military
organization did not intend to make IL
impossible for tralnmen to protest ef-
fectively against conditions of labor
which they consider unfair. This issue
constitutes the most serious phase of
the situation.
Reservists who fail to report for
duty may be declared deserters and
dealt with accordingly.
Leaders of the workingmen generally
threaten gigantic move to paralyze
the activities of the whole country.
and the situation is considered very
grave. The extension of the strike
east and south has practically isolated
Paris, which is threatened with fam
inc.
The strikers are resorting to riot
acts. The air brakes on the express
train were cut and the train narrowly
escaped destruction. The doors of the
cars on a freight train were smashed
and the entire cargo of live cattle
freed. Prices OF food stuffs jumped 25
percent today.
