INTEND TO TAX THE CATHOLIC CHURCH How a Patriotic People s Respondiug to 1ts Natlon's Need—War Beiween tho Ansron L the Pull Fignter. e Taisar At Ciry or MExico, Nov. 7.—[Special by Pan- American Press Association.]—A proposi- tion to tax the property of the church is be- ing seriously considered just now by the loading legislators of Mexico. In a late speech in the Mexican senate Don Juan A. Mateos, the most eloquent debater of the republic, was roundly applauded when he expressed himself at length on the subject of making the church pay tribute to tho state, the same as any other busi- ness institution holding property and re- ceiving and dispensiug money 18 required to do. There are 120 Catholic. ehurches in the City of Mexico alone, the re- ceipts of which, according to Senor Ma- teos, are nbout §1,000,000 in hard cash every year. Why the clergy should be allowed to accumulate this vast sum with no return to the government the Mexican lawmakers profess to by unable to explain, and it is probable a clerical tax bill will be introduced shortly before the Mexican congress. The proposed bill would in all likelihood include the holdings of American Protestant mis- slons, and of course will engender much op- position from Catholics and Protestants alike. Death of an AZtec Princes There is on of the ancient stock of the Moctezumas on earth, Thero has just died in this city, still in his childhood, ‘the thirteeuth grandson, in succession, of the Emperor Moctezuma and the fourtéenth of the famous Az vior ruler, Cuitlahuac, The deceased youth, whose name was RRob- erto Luis Cuauhtenioc, was the son of Don Luis Sierra Horeasitas and Donna Dolores Abadiano de Sierra, direct descendant of the old stock. The living representatives of the Moctezumas make up a large and still powerful contingent in Mexico, Contrasting Patriotism, A Texas paper in commenting on the praiseworthy way in which Mexico is trying o extricate itself from its burdening encum- brances and the points of difference in a few little matters of pure patriotism betwee the average Moxican and the average Am dan, has the following to say: The Mex o ntributed of :xican ofticiuls of thelr , the' Moxlcan local governments of r resources o help pay the Interest on tho nationuldebt.

He considers this as one of the features of the liberty which he enjoys, and as there is no more reckless or deadly knifer than the Mexican peon, espe- clally when in a state of pulque saturation, the gendarmes are having an altogether lively time of it, and are constantly met with open deflance of the law. Restrictions on Allen Land Owners. President Diaz desives to officially deny through the medium of the fore recent publications regarding the forf d, other than mines, held by aliens in co. The statement made was that an property hiolder would lose his Mox- can possessions by absenting himself with his family from the country for more than two years without provious permission of the government by = residing permanently abroad without leaving a rep- resentativa or attorney to look after his property and represent him, or by transfer- ring the tftle to real estate to any nonresi- dent of the republic. There was such a law at one time in force in Mexico, but it has now been repealed for several yoars. The only restrictions on the holding of real estate n Mexico by foreigners apply to lands along the border and on the coast, which are i force purcly as a protective militury meas- ure. are having a this ying out if th New Sport for Old Mexico, An_interesting question of a sportive- moral nature which is agitating the public mind in the City of Mexico just at present, is the proposed revival of bull fighting in the capital. The leading Spanish daily of the city urges that license be grauted for the winter's tourniment on the ground that bull fighting helps to diminish erime. The paper does not state its reasons, however, in ad- vincing this ruther startling theory. The management of the fights is willing to pay to the municipality the sum of 50,000, if the sea- s0u 18 4 suceessful one, and this is proving a very tempting factor in favor of the fights, on the partof the author Just how popular bull fighting coula again become in the increasingly cultured Mexican metropo- lis is hard w forotell. The President and Mrs. Diaz ave greatly opuosed to- these bloody exhibitions and cal with them a 1, following of the lead- ty people, who will not give their supporting presence to such brutality. But the maiu thing which is working against the rovival of the ancient and popular Spanish recreation 1s tho inuuguration by northern horsemen. of & regular season of winter races, boginning with vhe Derby December 3, The sportiug world and society in general caunot successfully pursue more than one fad at & time, aud as the City of Mexico is on the qui vive of interest regarding th imported American innovation, the appe: ance is that the horse race will supersede the bull fight, and the le matador step dowu and out forever in favor of the jockey.
