Mr. McCanell thinks that there should

TO TAX AN'i r.'RACITE COAL.
An effoit Is to be made to seeuie leg
islation this winter taxing unthiacite
coal ii cents a ton at the mines, the tax
to be paid by the mine owneis when
shipped to the inatkets. If this
pioposltioii Is can led out the payments
would be made to the state monthly or
semi-monthly, mid would affoid Imme
diate relict to the tiemiuty. This scheme
was tiled In Pennsylvania riming the
war and continued eaily In the seven
ties. An effoit will also be made to In
cieaso the tax on the actual value of the
capital stock of domestic- Insurance
companies They now pay Ii mills on
theli capital and S mills on their gross
piemlums. It Is pioposed to make the
tate unifoim by lKing it at S mills on
each.
The total pioductlon of anthiaeite
coal in Pennsylvania for 1S0G was 13,
'Jl'.i SPC tons, in 1S93, 4C292.443 tons; in
ISI'4. 41,231, ID!) tons. It w ill be seen that
a 5 cent pei ton tax on the pioduct
would pioduce a lnrgp and Juicy lev
enue. FUNDS ARE SHORT.
Ifnless state expenses aie gieatly
cm tailed Pennsylvania will llnd heiself
with an empty ttcasmy. Reductions
will have to be made In all the appio
pilations and new somces of levenue
hae to be found. The annual nppro
piiatlon of $3,000,000 Is likely to be
chopped down a million or two. If It
Is not some of the state piivate chari
ties will be left without a penny. Those
Institutions entiiely dependent upon
state aid will find that their icquests
will be shaved constdeiably. The re
port of State Tieasurer Haywood at
the close of December showed a bal
ance In the geneinl fund of $3,7J4,&29.
Afainst this the moneys owing the
school distilcts, hospital", peniten
tial ies and the salai Ies of state olllceis
must be paid when they come due.
Then? Is still $.1,000,000 of the school
nppropiiutlon unpaid, while $1,500,000
must be leturned to the counties in
peisonai ptopeity tax, these two items
alone making $1,300,000, neuily $1,000,000
In excess of the balance In the geneial

wise to collect them and publish them

In his deportment but betore the boaid

commonwealth cases In the couit of
common pleas of Dauphin county. He
has also, by the couitesy ot the heads
of the lespectlve departments, given
such rules and suggestions as may be
useful to those having business theiein.
Owing to the increasing business of

mote Important ones not already filled
It was stated that the result of the
committee' dellbetattons will not be
made public until the house meets at

pi'iilsh their factional opponents by
cutting them off from all pattonage.
The sentiment of the committee
seems to be In favor of recognizing the
claims of Wamimnker men In the
Wanamaker localities nnd giving them
a fair share of the olllces. The slate

Its session until that body meets.

GEN. WEYLER' S VICTIMS
Hundreds of Innocent and Peaceable
Citizens of Cuba Are Driven
from Tbcir Homes.
Key West, Jan. 15. Advices from
Havana state that the effect of Wey
ler's famous Bnyate edict ol the Hist
Instant Is being felt with moie Intensity
In the piovinces of Havana and Matuu
zas than that of Plnar Del Rio, since
these piovinces, being mote thickly
populated and with mote farms and
estutes than the fotmer, the wholesale
abandonment ot the piopeitles and the
couceutt ation of the people in the tow ns
will not only augment the misery al
leadv prevailing, but also piesent the
serious Inconvenience of lodging so
many people in towns alieady full to
oei flowing.
Without discussing Wey lei's unhii
man measuie In dpiling peaceful and
unoflendlng citizens of their tlghtful
means of existence, and huddling them
in alieady ciowded spaces, exposed to
all the ilgois of hunger and disease,
simply for the sake of dealing the coun
tiy of so-called lebel sympalhieis, a
legal point has been spiling by the for
eign piopeity ownets, especially the
Amei leans, who own large piopeitles In
the provinces of Havana and Matanzas,
which will surely lead to complication:,
and claims on the Spanish government.
Weyler distinctly states In his decree
that those who wish to remain on their
piopeitles must exhibit the last tax
bill paid. As taxes aie only levied on
pioduttlve Industiies, and thee plant
el s have not been able to woik on ac
count of the abnoimal conditions! in the
piovinces since Gomez's Invasion In De
cember, 18U3, no taxes have been col
lected since that time, the government
admitting such unusual ciicumstances
or being poweiless to collect them be
cause the lebels weie In possession of
the country, did not pi ess their collec
tion, consequently no taxes have been
paid in the countiy since the date men
tioned. Resides that, Wey let has un
officially otdeted that no sugai ciop
should be made and now he wants the
sugar planleis to pay taxes on an In
dustry which they have not been able
to pioduce. One tesult was that the
managei of the sugnr estate "San An
tonio" near Madi'ig,, Havnnn, owned
by Mr. Antonio Teiiy, an Amei lean
citizen lesldlng In Pails, piesented him
self to Consul Lee, demanding piotec
tion, because the mllltaiy commandei
of Mldtuga otdeted him to abandon the
placp, one ot the most valued estates
lu the pioince, and woith at least half
a million dollais, because he did not
piesent the tequlied tax bill. Consul
Lee at once took the case In hand and
simultaneously piesonted the same to
the captain-genoinl and the state de
pai tinent at Washington. No leplles
have been terelved yet, either from
Weyler or from Secietniy Olney.
To depict tlie situation in Plnar Del
Rio, nothing can be better said than
to translate the lepoit of a tilp made
to the city of that name by a cone
spondent of La Lucha.
All the way travel sed by the rallioad
from Artemlsa to Consolaclon Del Sur,
is, without exaggeiatlon, the most
chastised and undoubtedly has suffeied
most from the i Igors of wnr.
The fields wasted and abandoned, the
bushes and tiees burnt, and the yellow
arid decayed leaves stiewn by the wind,
the huts destioyed, the stone houses, in
other times happy homes, converted by
the hands of lebels and Spaniards alike
into heaps of ruins, the black and fal
len walls of which only serve as a
refuge of the lis-airis and owls, the
cane Helds dtled up and coveted with
bushes, by the lavages of fire, the
towns, the uuthoiities of which aie
making great eflotts to tcniedy the ne
cessities ot the tesldents, full of people,
of poor families, who dally tioops down
from the hills, extenuated by hunger
nnd emaciated by the revet s In such a
way that they resemble skeletons ilon
out of their tombs to appear before the
final judgment; to the light and left of
the toad, as much as the ttaln winds Its
rapid mutch, the tiaveler obsetves with
painful anguish the desolation and lulu
wlUiln the Inextinguishable poetry of
their exuberant ileitis, always gieen
with the eternal 'otdllie or apt lug, as
if God, with His eloquence would point
us that the onlv thing we men can do
Is to desttoy the beauties which surged
from His bounteous will.

"Monday's meeting," said Senator
Kauffman, "may begin the consideia

main business on that day will be
action on a pioject to organize an as
