When it (Iocs, Overman, of Rowan, will pro pose the following resolution as a substitute for sections taxing gross earnings, and ask its in corporation as part of the reve nue act. "Whereas, It is claimed and, generally believed that the rail way propert of the State is not bearing an equal proportion of taxation; and, whereas, all prop erty of the State should bear a full share of the burdens of gov ernment. "Resolved.

"Resolved, That this resolu- tion be enforced from and after ratifications. " The vote on the propositioi; to strike out the tax on gross incomes was very close 49 to 53.

The cablegram from Admiral Dewey asking for the Oregon was received with surprise bv the officials here. No one knew, or at least weiuld i.tlmit that he knew, tlie nature of the political reasons why the admiral de mands the immediate presence of the peerless battleship. The cablegram was taken be fore the cabinet and fully tlis cusscd. The admiral, it is said, possibly feels that the moral ef fect of the presence of the big ship on the insurgents them selves, and particularly upon the large element .among the Filipinos that is believed to be restrained with difficulty from joining foitur.es with Aguinaldo, with whom their sympathies lie, would be good. But there is an underlying doubt whether or not the admiral may not be keenly sighting a gatheiing cloud in the East, ami is looking to the prevention of any possi ble intervention or interference by European powers in the sti uggle now in progress in the neighborhood of Manila It is believed that in the big fires much propt rty of foreign rcsi elents and business onivn-s was destrojed. That these fires were eausetl by the insurgents cannot be 'denied, and it may be that some of the foreign naval commanders in the East are dis- poseil to seize upon the pretext that their interest;; demand pro tection, which we cannot afford them, to make a landing. -r do something obnoxiems to the Unitetl States anel likely to en courage the insurgents.

Should the yoiatiLeci noe. under General Otis' command remain in the service pending the completion t)fthe work of pacifying the Philippines there would be as-r-embltd u round Manila and in the leading Philippine ports by April 15 next an effective Ameri can force cf more than 55,000 men an army twice as large as that which took Santiago and extinguished all hopes of suc cessful Spanish resistance to our arms in Cuba. Should armed resistance to American authority in the archi pelago be prolonged and become widespread the people of the United States would surely pay deaily for the Philippine whistle upon which Administration leaders arc piping such warlike airs in an effort to arouse the popular sentiment in favor ef national aggrandizement.

General Miller thinks it probable that the natives will soon be convinced of the error of opposing the inevitable .and that the example set by the in habitants oi Negros is having its effect among the e-ther islands, which, though not eittiit ly con vinced, arc, in General Miller's opinion, open to reason.
