COmTION lESISlATION lomatic and consul corps and the ac quisition by the government of reu- dences and offices for its diplomatic officers. Some criticisms of the Payne tarilf act are just, says the president, but more are unfounded. There should be more officers for the army. The engineer corps should be increased by 60. Regarding the Pa,nama canal the president says: “The progress of the work is most satisfactory. It will be completed well within the time set, January 1, 3 915, and within the estimated cost of $375,- 000,000. The slides in Culebra Cut offer no great reason for delay.” Must Fortify Canal. Failure to fortify the canal would leave the United States powerless to enforce the universal and equal Ube of the waterway against a desperate and irresponsible enemy and would defeat the object of the canal in in creasing the military effectiveness of the American navy. Regarding the courts the president declares the crying need of the United States is cheapening the cost of liti gation by simplifying judicial proced ure and expediting final judgment. The supreme court should be relieved from unnecessary appeals. The sala ries of federal judges should be in creased. Postal savings banks will be estab lished in a number of cities January 1. A parcels post on rural delivery routes is recommended. Postmaster General Hitchcock is given, high praise for put ting the postoffice department on a self-sustaining basis. Prosecute Census Padders. The present census promises to be the best ever taken, but is not per fect. The census padders are to be Tigorously prosecuted. A buref.vu of health should be estab lished. ; ^ , WILL SURRENDffl PORTER CHARLTON eavier'^ fines should be Secretaiy Knox ficanted Italy’s Re^k WIFE MUROER I CHARGED Nation Compelled,i Urfder Its Treaty, to Deliver Fugitlver to Italy—Ques tion of Charlton’s insanity One for Courts to Decide.

The question of /tl^e insanity of Charlton, it is sug>*i^ted, is one for the courts and BLO^ti|>r the department to determine. . Had Secretary Kno3| retrained from acting upon this for six days.

The outstanding features of Presi dent Taft’s message, sent to congress Tuesday, are these; He declares it is time to stop legis lating with reference to regulation ot corporations and to witness the effect of a vigorous execution of the laws already on the statute books. The exact limitation upon business meth ods imposed by law will doubtless be made clearer by pending decisions of the supreme court. Just at this time, the president says, he believes the activities of the gov ernment, in addition to enforcement of the laws, should be directed toward economy of administration, the en largement of opportunities for foreign trade, the building up of tome indus try and the strengthenin'r of confi dence of capital in domestic invest- msnt. Mr. Taft recommends strongly some form of ship subsidy to increase Amer ican shipping, especially to South America. Defers Tariff Question. The tariff board is not ready to sub mit a report on any of the schedules of the Payne law and Mr. Taft says he will not recommend any tariff leg islation until the new congress con venes in December, 1911. He urges that the tariff board be made permanent and that all futu»‘€ revisions be made schedule by sched ule. He vigorously opposes another general revision. Recommendation for anti-injunction find federal incorporation laws are re newed. It is proposed that second-class mail rates should be readjusted so as to charge magazines a much higher rate on their advertising sections. New Currency System. Strong representations are made for the establishment of a new banking and currency system. Estimates for government expendi tures during the next fiscal year have teen cut to $630,494,013.12, which is 552,964,887.36 less than the actual ap propriations for the current year. The estimated receipts for the next fiscLil year are $680,000,000.

Immigrants ard needed in the rural districts. Some provision should be made for retiring superannuated government clerks. The only amendments suggested in the interstate commerce law are an appropriation to enable the interstate commerce commission to ascertain the valuation of railroads and fixing the responsibilities of public carriers in the issuance of bills of lading. James Tunney, a native of Balti more and ' for several years past a wealthy resident of Gulfport, Miss., dropped dead in the Harrison county court. He was a spectator. BEDOUINS MASSACRE. More Than One Hundred Christians Were Killed. A telegram from Jerusalem states that Bedouins have massacred the Turkish garrison at Kerak, a town in the Turkish villayet of Syria, and killed more than 100 Christian inhabi tants of the place in revenge for the execution of a Bedouin chief. The Bedouins, the dispatch adds, now hold the fortress, in the vicinity of which there had been desultory fighting between tribesmen and the government troops for the past year and a half, Kerak, formerly the capital of Moab, has a population of 8,000, of whom 6,000 are Moslems. The town is the last on the road from Damascus to Mecca, where Christians reside. It stands on the mountains of Moab and may be seen from Jerusalem, 50 mil as away. There are no American missionaries there, the only missionary station be ing that of the British church mission ary society for Africa and the east. This is a branch of the organization at Es Salt and is composed of one missionary, his wife and one native worker. the flames rapidly spread over her body. She was at home alone, and before assistance could be secured she was burned so badly that death resulted in a short time. Mrs. Simpson was 23 years of age, the wife of Spurgeon Simpson, and a daughter of Mr. and Mrs. Will Smith. Her tragic death caused great grief in the community. The estimates were distributed as follows: War department, $205,257,546; In terior department, $189,151,875; treas ury department, $1'41,599,997; agricul ture, $19,681,066; navy department, $128,942,158; commerce and labor, $16,276,970; District of Columbia, $13,- 602,786; legislative, $13,426,806; jus tice, $10,063,576; state, $4,875,576; in- The remains were interred at Har- dependent offices Including interstate mony Grove, the funeral being con ducted by her old pastor. Rev. J. S. Askew, of Inman, Ga. END TO ABSOLUTE REIGN. Political Events in China Are Moving Rapidly. It seems safe j announce that the ancient absolute regime in China will exist only historically after the Chi nese new year, in January, 1911. It is stated that the throne has decided to accede to the resolution of the im perial senate praying for the imme diate creation of a constitutional cabi net. Political events in China have mov ed with a rapidity that appears almost revolutionary when it is considered that the provincial assemblies repro senting the first step toward popular government in the empire’s history of thousands of years were inaugu rated so recently as October 14, 1909. Population statistics of the 13th census issued by the census bureau in clude figures for the following states; Arkansas, 1,574,449, an increase of 162,885, or 20 per cent, over 1,311,564 in 1900. The Increase from 1890 to 1900 was 183,385, or 16.3 per cent. South Carolina, 1,515,400, an increase of 175,034, or 13.1 per cent, over 1,340^ 316 in 1900. The increase from 189J to 1900 was 189,167,_ or 16^4 per cent. A CHAPTER Calvin Ezele and OF Sylvester Peyton, ne- CASUALTIES. groes, were found hanging to a tree at Double Branches, two miles from Monroeville, Ala. They had been arrested on a charge of burn ing the barn and outhouses on the place of Edgar Bass, near Jones Mill, and confessed to the crime. A deputy sheriff of Monroe county had them in charge and was bringing them to Mon roeville for safe-keeping when he was overpowered by unknown men, his prisoners taken from him and strung up to a neighboring tree. John W. Schaum, formerly part own er of the Milwaukee Journal, commit ted suicide by shooting himself through the head with a revolver. Bus iness troubles are assigned as the cause. General Henry Edwin Tremain, one of the founders of the Grand Army of the Republic, and one of the best- known lawyers of New York, is deal. Three weeks ago he passed his seven tieth birthday- commerce commission, $2,638,695; postoffice department proper, $1,697,- 490; deficiency in postal revenues, no estimate yet; executive, $998,170; ter ritorial governments, $202,150. fUU-rUUI TALL.
