Loud Dill KWiktlug lo SietMMid Clans H iff Blatter and th«* Paoitlc Railroad U«fnndlng Itllls Come Up Foe Consideration a» First llustnoss In the House. WAflUNOTOs, Jan. 4—Iloyoud the fact that the bill proridiiiK f«r free homoeteed* on former Indian reservations on the calendar is the unfinished basilicas, the tkmate line no programme) for this week. The friends of the Pacific railroad refunding bill will moke an effort to got that measure up for consideration unless they ^conclude that in doing so they may impair its chances of passage. Until the past day or two it appeared oortnin that the Cuban resolutions would be sprung immediately after the beginning of business ou tomorrow. It is now possible, oven probable, that both questions will go over at least for a few days. If the movement to have the committee on foreign relations again consider the question as to when it shall be taken up prevails the question cannot b' raised unlll Wednesday and tho advocates of delay are becoming sanguine th.'t if they ran prevent consideration until Wednesday they will secure a still further postponement. Senator (tear, chairman of the Pacific railroads committee, is doubtful of the advisibility of pressing for consideration his funding bill until after the action of tho house on the measure and may wait upon that tiody. If ho does not’delay ou this account he will make an effort to get the bill np tomorrow or immediately after the homestead bill shall be disposed of. IN TUE HOUSE. Lmnl Postal Bill ami Pacific Koa<U Funding Act Will be Considered. Washington, Jan. -I.—The house will get down to serious business as soon as it reassembles tomorrow. Probably the two most important pieces of general legislation to be acted upon at this session will consume the entire week. They are the Loud bill to amend the laws relating to second class mail matter so as to prevent the shipment of books and serial publications in connection with newspapers at the 1 cent per pound rate and to cut off the newspaper sample copy privilege, and the bill prepared by the Pacific railroad committee, to fund tho debts of the Pacific railroads and extend their payment for 50 years at i per cent. The Loud bill has already beeu debated one day and. under the order adopted, tho bebate will continue tomorrow and Wednesday when the bill will be brought to a vote. The Pacific railroad bill will be taken up on Thursday aud the general debate will continue until Friday evening. Ou Saturday the bill will bo open to amendment and on Mondav the vote will be taken. The fate of die measure will determine whether the government will foreclose its mortgages on the Union aud Central Pacific, both these roads have defaulted and President Cleveland served notice in so many words in his message to congress that, unless some congressional action was taken immediately, steps would bo takeu under the authority of the present law to protect the government's interest by foreclosure proceedings. The friends of the roads realise fully that this is the lust chance they will have to accomplish the funding of the debt for which they have striven for 10 years, and they will use all their influence in its behalf. But the bill has also many bitter enemies, especially in the west and on the Pacific

coast.

OUR EXPORT TRADE. Laitt Year Larger In the .Aggregate Than In /Any Former One. Washington, Jan. 5.—The complete reports are not in from all of the ports of entry, but it is known that the balance of trade in favor of this country for the year ending Dec. 31, 189ii, was greater than for any year since 1881. The greatest balance the exports and imports of the United States ever showed was in 1879. That year the country sold $204,000,000 more than it bought. In 1881 the exports went $280,000,000 more than tho imports. For 1896 tho balance will fall but little below these two red-letter years. The exports for 1890 were about $932,010,000, and the imports were about $087,016,000. Tho balance of trade in favor of the United States was about $245,000,000. The aggregate of the foreign trade of the United States for tho year was about $1,025,000,000. The foreign trade of 1890 was greater than that of 1895 or 1894. It was almost equal to that of 1892, but in the latter year the balance in favor of this country was not so great. One of the notable facts shown by a comparison of 1890 with 1895 is that the exports of American manufactures increased about $50,000,000. Agricultural products increased about $45,000,000 in 1800 over 1895. The exports of 1890 show a gain of $100,000,000 over 1895. This excellent showing for American trade is made, notwithstanding the loss which has been sustained in the trade with Cuba. The island sent to tho United States $.52,000,000 of her products in 1895 and took $12,000,000 of our products. This trade was almost entirely wiped out in 1890. The year shows the largest aggregate of exports of American manufactures ever known. The United States in 1890 sold of her manufactures $249,000,000, which was $21,000,000 better than the showing of any previous year. Tariff’ Hearing*. Washington, Jan. 5.—Tho tobacco schedule of tho tariff was threshed over by the representatives of various tobacco interests yesterday before the ways and means committee with great minuteness. Several branches of the business wore represented, the native growers, importers, manufacturers using the native goods, using Havana and those handling the Sumatra product. Between these classes there was much discord, no two of them being agreed ou any schedule of rates, and contradicting one another on questions relating to tho effects of the present law to rates of labor aud cost of production and manufacture.

DOG TAX. In addition to the above tax there is charged for one Male Dog, $1.00; one Female Dog, $2.00, and for each additional dog, $2.00. The full amount of Tax may be paid on or before the THIRD MONDAY’ IN APRIL, 1S97, or the one-half thereof with all Road Taxes added, may be paid on or before APRIL 20. 1897, and the remainder on or before the FIRST MONDAY IN NOVEMBER, following. When the first installment is not paid prior to the THIRD MONDAY IN APRIL, the WHOLE tax becomes delinquent and ten per cent, penalty and costs of collection will be added, and when the taxes are not paid by the time the second installment is due, six per cent, additional is added as provided by law. Road receipts can not be taken in payment of second installment of taxes. County orders will not be paid to any one owing delinquent taxes. All parties are warned against buying them. The Treasurer will not be responsible for the penalty and charges on Delinquent Taxes, resulting from any omission of the person paying to state definitely on what property, in whose name, and in what Township or Corporation it was assessed. BE CAREFUL AND EXAMINE Y’OUR RECEIPTS BEFORE YOU LEAVE THE OFFICE, AND SEE THAT ALL PROPERTY ON WHICH YOU DESIRE TO PAY TAX, PARTICULARLY PERSONAL AND POLL TAX, IS PROPERLY INCLUDED. Call on the Auditor for any reduction to be made on taxes. The Treasurer cannot make such reduction. Persons owing Delinquent Taxes should pay them at once. The late law is of such a character that there is no option left the Treasurer but to enforce the collection of Delinquent Taxes. “The owner of property on the first day of April, in any year, is liable for the taxes of that year. The purchaser of property on the first day of April shall bo considered as the owner on that day.” See See. 6282, R. S. “All property, both real and personal, situated in any county, shall be liable for the payment of all taxes, penalties, interests and costs charged to the owner thereof in such county; and no partial payment of such taxes, penalties, interests or costs shall discharge or release any part or portion of such property until the whole be paid. Such lien shall in no wise be affected or destroyed by any sale or transfer of any such personal property, and shall attach on the first day of April, annually, for the taxes of such year.” Sec. 6447, R. S. Tax payers will find it greatly to their advantage to call early and avoid mistakes incident to the rush of business of the last few days. All those who have their taxes complicated, such as undivided estates, are especially requested to call when we are at leisure, as it requires considerable time to make the divisions and make separate receipts. The Annual Sales of Delinquent Lands and Lots will take place on the SECOND MONDAY IN FEBRUARY, 1897. All lands upon which Ditch Taxes are delinquent, will also be offered for sale at that time. ^ s-:** a-: . a a mm TREASURER RUTINATVt COUNTY. Special Notice.—Parties having School Fund Loans on which interest is delinquent will please give payment of said interest their attention on or before the Fourth Monday in March, 1897, as the law compels the prompt collection of said interest.
