H * ~ Vol. IV.-——thle No. 806. itmnrririwmi The Bill Providing For it Was Passed by the State Senate. TWO 'msssnrme VOTES. Elm Equal Taxation Amendment ‘Vas Lost, and ConsolidationWiii Now Bo Vot- ed ~Upon by the Citizens of New ~ York and Brooklyn. ALBAXY, Feb. 28. - The greater New York bill passed the senate by a vote of 28 to 2, McMahon and Reynolds voting in the negative. The proposition to provide equal taxa- tion on Mr. Butt’s greater New York bill had been defeated by 18 to 7 previously. The bill, which now goes to the govern- or, simply provides that the question of consolidating into one municipality the ’ places about New York harbor shall be submitted next fall to a vote. of the people. Senator Reynolds recovered sufliciently to be present and force the fighting on the greater New York bill. The fight had narrowed down to an agreement on the commission bill so far as the territory is concerned, but Reynolds and the Brook- lyn men insist that while all the territory called for may come in Brooklyn will only enter on a basis of equal taxation, and Senator Reynolds offered the amend- ments. Senator Cantor said there was no excuse for hampering the bill, which simply pro« vided for the submission of the question to a vote of the people, with conditions tend- ing to hamper that vote. Senator Rey- nolds said Brooklyn had little business property; that the subject of equal taxes tion had been agitated for years. Its popu‘ lation should have the same consideration as other portions of the present New York. To Eclipse London. It would be as sensible to divide New York by Fifty-ninth street and have differ- ent systems of taxation as to have one for New York and one for Brooklyn. He said he let his consolidation bill go on condi« tion he should be allowed to amend the commission bill. He was sincere in his desire to have a greater New York that would eclipse Chicago, London or any oth- er municipality. Senator Cant-or replied to Senator Rey- nolds, and though still hoarse received at- tention. Senator Guy, in the course of his remarks, read a letter from Commissioner Purrcy. " Senator Cantor declared that Brooklyn did not have a uniform rate of taxation, and that it was sought to saddle this ques- tion with a, proposition that Brooklyn re- fuses to accept now. Both cities had to vote aifirmatively on this great question; and any condition imposed now would be likely to be resented by the votes of one city or the other, and thus postpone the ob- ject indefinitely. Senator McMahon said New York was better governed and more lightly taxed than any of the other localities. There was no advantage to New York in the proposed consolidation. The idea was the outgrowth of a sentiment fostered by the newspaper press. No one in his district had rebuked him for opposition to the greater New York bill outside of the pa. pers. Senator Guy declared that he would not take the undemocratic stand of refusing to let the people vote on this matter. He be- lieved that the consolidation of New York with the outlying territory was inevitable. He declared that if the 13 original colonies had waited till they had adopted a consti- tution before issuing the Declaration of In- dependence we would still be colonies of Great Britain. So with greater New York. Beginning the Voting. Senator Cantor moved to strike out the Reynolds amendment. Throughout the debate Senator Rey- nolds and Assemblyman Burtis were busily circulating about the chamber buzzing each country member to secure a vote in 'favcr of the equal taxation amendment. The vote to strike out the amendment was 18 yeas to 7 nays. ' Thus the Reynolds scheme failed. Sena.- tor McMahon at once offered a. second amendment, which provides that if the majority of the registered voters inNew York city do not vote for the greater New York project it shall be decided to have been rejected. This was lost without a division. Odd 'ish to Be Regarded. INDIANAPOLIS, Feb. 27.—J.

Eli—The Vatican is opposed to the new taxation scheme of Finance Minister Soninno. This is due to the fact that it recently madea large investment in Italian routes and because of the belief that the scheme will have a bad effect on trade generally. Disorders are expected to follow the closing of distilleries and other works which are unable to bear the pro- posed ncw duties. The newspapers are making comments on a project to confer full powers on the ministry until January, 1895. The Opin— ione interprets the project to mean the suppression of parliament. The Fanfnlla objects to the proposal to appoint by royal decree a commission of senators and depu- ties to aid the government. It. declares that such a commission ought to be elect- ed by the respective chambers. Otherwise not even form will be saved, and parlia- ment will be practically suppressed. The Capitals says that the country will not consent to the scheme. Dull Outlook For Bottle Makers.

W lLLGLillSlthEQUIT‘l General Credence is Placed in the Ru- mor That He Will Resign. HIS" EYESIGHT ONE CAUSE. Another and More Important Reason Giv- en, However, Is the Trouble About Naval Affairswllir. T. P. O'Con- nor Expresses His Opinion. LONDON, Feb. ‘28.——The political world is once more greatly agitated by renewed ru- mors to the effect that Mr. Gladstone in- tends to retire from office. Of course the frequency with which these reports have been circulated of late has done much to discount any eilect which they might have, but every time a new report concerning Mr. Gladstone’s in- tention to retire from the leadership of the Liberal party is put in circulation th’crc seems to be a positive panic among his most loyal followers and a corresponding feeling of encouragement among the ene-‘ mics of the great English statesman and his policy. The latest scare is furnished by the Edin- burgh Evening News, which announces, upon what it classes as reliable authority, the fact that Mr. Gladstone has resigned the premiership; but, The Evening News adds, he will retain his seat in the cabinet and will also continue to represent Mid~ lothian in the house of commons. Naturally this report, apparently based on something more than mere political rumor, has caused the greatest excitement in political circles and is causing a great and hurried exchange between the great leaders and their intimate advisers. The Report Credited. Strange to say, after so many denials and after such a number of canards have been put in circulation in connection with the Grand Old Man, the present report that he has actually tendered his resigna- tion or that he intends to take such action , during the present week is obtaining gen- eral credence. Inquiries made hastily in official circles shortly after The Evening News of Edin— burgh circulated its report shows that there are many people in official circles who believe that the report is undoubtedly based on facts. \ Mr. ’1‘. P. O’Connor, M. 19., writing for The " S no today. says in connection with the rumor that Mr. Gladstone has resigned and apparently tending to confirm the re- port: “For some time something like a panic has existed among his supporters in the lob- bies. Yesterday “evening [the rumor was current that his resignation was to be ex- pected during the course of the week. Competent authority gives his eyesight as the actual "reason for his resignation, but the situation is further aggravated by the position of certain members of the cabinet with reference to. the naval programme. “The premier had to face the possibility of Earl Spencer’s (the first lord of the ad- miralty) resigning. The cataract in the premier’s eye is not yet ripe for operation, but when it occurs he must spend six weeks in darkness. Nobody, has the least idea what. any day may bring forth, though my own Opinion is that Mr. Gladstone will refuse to leave the shi p.” ' Has Earl Spencer Accepted? 7 - The Evening News" this afternoon says.‘ that the Earl of Rosebery has been oflered the premiership, and that he has declined it. ' " ' ship was later offered to Earl Spencer, first The same paper says‘ that the premier.~ lord of the admiralty, and that he has ac— : cepted it. In conclusion, The Evening News says that Mr. Gladstone’s resigna- tion goes into effect at Easter. ' Ownership of Anastasia Island.
