Austin, Texas, Oct. 20-Dur
ing the fiscal year ending Aug.
31, 1906, there was collected in
Texas in occupation taxes the
largt sum of $966,908 68, an in-
crease -over - tbe preceding
twelve months of $45,27t.68 One-
fourth of the occupation tax goes
to the available school fund.
During the past two legisla-
tures efforts have been made to
repeal occupation tax on useful
occupations, and it was demand-
ed by some of the merchants in
their several meetings over the
state. Nearly ; $1,000,000 is re-
ceived from these taxes, a large
part of which comes from mer-
chants, but the greatest percent-
age of any one class paying is
that of liquor dealers. Should
the tax on merchants be repeal-
ed it would be still another large
item in the revenue embarrass-
ment. general revenue is on a
deficit at this time and one of the
greatest problems confronting
the next legislature will be that
of revenue and taxation. It will
be a question of providing meth-
ods for securing more revenue,
not disposing with sources
thereof. From this status it
would seem that the solons will
go rather slow in repealing occu-
pation or any other taxes, but
will be inclined to visit a few
more kinds of tax on the country
at large.

Grover Cleveland is Suffering
From Severe Cold.
Washington, Oct- 20—The state
department has been informed
that the Mexican government
has given instructions to gun-
boats and revenue cutters which
it employed to break up fishing
by American smacks in the ter-
ritorial waters of Mexico, to re-
frain from any unnecessary in-
terference with vessels outside
the three-mile limit and to be
as lenient as possible in other
respects.
This results from the protest
of the state department against
the action of the commander of
the Mexican gunboat in stopping
and searching Amerj an vessels
on che high seas-
The Mexican government con-
tends that a revenue cutter has
a right, to stop and examine for-
eign vesselB approaching ter-
ritorial lin^with the apparent
intent to crolhk while the state
New York, Oct. 20,—Grover
Cleveland is ill from a severe
cold at Westland, his country
home near Princeton, N J. He
had been ailing since early in tbe
week and yesterday bis condition
was such that he was compelled
to take to his bed.
“We do not consider Mr.
Cleveland’s illness very serious”
said Mrs. Cleveland yesterday,
but in all probability it will keep
him in bed for several days- He
caught a slight cold while out
fishing a few days ago, bnt paid
no attention to it until today,
when he felt it necessary to con-
sult a doctor.”
Dr- M. C. Carnochin, the fam-
ily physician, who is attending
Mr. Cleveland, would not dis-
cuss his patient’s condition,
HALF MILLION
FOR RRiDGES
M.. K. & T. Will Expend This
Large Sum.
Denison, Oct. 20.—The man-
agement of the Missouri, Kansas
and Texas has appropriated a
half million dollars to be used in
rebuilding bridges between Tay-
lor and Smithville. Heavier
structures will be put in which
will enable the operating depart-
ment to run heavier motive pow-
er.
The bridge over the Brazos at
Waco is to be rebuilt. Work was
commenced today and Monday
the force will be largely increas-
ed by the addition of several
gangs and two pile drivers. The
five spans for the new bridge are
on tbe ground and the work can
be rushed.
AN 010 CHURCH
IS DESTROYED
New York, Oct. 20.—A London
special dispatch published here
today reports that Selby Abbey
church was burning and that it
was probably doomed.
Selby Abbey church ia one of
the finest examples ot Norman
architecture in the world. The
church was built in 1070.
department holds that while this
contention would be admissible
as applied to trading vessels, a
fishing smack is not subject to
these revenue laws. There will
be some further exchanges be-
fore this point is settled-
Another matter at issue is the
assumption by the Mexican gov-
ernment of the fact that a fish-
ing smack in the neighborhood
of the boundary line, her nets
and fishing gear on the deck are
proof she is about to violate the
law by fishing within the terri-
torial water. The testimony
presented to the stat9 depart-
ment- by gu’f fishermen is that it
is a common practice of skip-
pers to begin overhauling the
fishing gear soon after they leave
the home port.
Prospects are said to be favor-
able for an early and satisfactory
adjustment of the fishing dis-
pute.
Abilene, Ksn , Oct. 20—Joseph

ton, who will remain in that town
nntil her husband’s release.
Mr. Burton, at his home here
this afternoon, received a tele-
gram from F. H. Lehman* his at-
torney at St. Louis, announcing
that he had made arrangements

when the mandate of
the United States supreme court
upholding bis sentence, will be
formally presented and Mr.
Burton given in charge of the

Bank of England Makes Ad-

London, Oct 20-—The Bank of
England raised the discount rate
to 6 per cent today. Changes in
the discount fate of the bank on
any day except Thursdays have
been few and far between, and
not since Nov. 7, 1890^ just be-
fore the Baring failure, has the
rate been put on the top per
