'The state agricultural department does not issue any April bulletin, but will issue' one for May. In the revenue act, in schedule C, there is one very clumsy section, in re gard to the taxation of railways. It requires all railways to pay 1 per cent, on gross receipts. There is, however, this proviso "No railway or canal com pany shall be liable to this tax if its property is taxed." Now every rail way in the state is taxed, so the 1 per cent, tax applies to none of them. As the state treasurer says, that section should have been omitted, as it is val ueless and meaningless. - Governor and Mrs. Russell this even ing at the executive mansion fave their first public reception.

To B Given the Tariff Bill by the Demo crats of the Senate Finance Committee before It Is Reported to the Senate. Washington, April 27. The democrat ic members of the senate finance com mittee today followed up their refusal of yesterday to allow the tariff bill to be reported direct to the senate with the announcement that they would ex- pect to be given opportunity for a thor ough examination of all the schedules of the bill as amended before it is re ported to the senate. They have al ready employed one expert and will employ others to take ud the bill in their behalf as soon as it is presented to them. They expect to be able to ex amine the bill sufficiently to permit it to go to the senate in about two weeks' time after they receive it. There has been some talk among the democratic senators of granting hear ings bv the full committee, but this proposition does not appear to have met with general favor. The democratic members of the committee fear that insistence upon this course would be- construed into a determination to delay the bill for the sake of delay, which they insist Is no part of their pro gramme. The decision of the democratic mem bers may have the effect of causing a postponement of the presentation of thev bill beyond Thursday. Some of the republican committeemen now say that they may not conclude their work be fore gokig into the full committee. They are still working with the hope of presenting the bill Thursday, but are less hopeful than formerly. " The republicans think they discover in the present attitude of their demo cratic colleagues a disposition to delay the passage of the bill, which they had not previously counted upon and are making their preparations for a long siege In the senate, as well as in com mittee. Some of them express the fear that the bill will not become a law be fore the first of August. The Senatorial Contests.

The lass Estimated at 82,000,000 Eight Persons Seriously Burned. Newport News, Va., April 27. Two piers in smouldering' ruins, three vessels burned to the water's edge, a large tug boat com pletely destroyed and eight persons more or less seriously burned, is the story of today's conflagration In Newport News. The "flames were discovered in pier 5 about 4:15 o'clock this morning and spread with such remarkable rapidity that it was impossible to make any headway against them. A fierce north wind fanned the flames int6 a fury and swept them across the docks to pier 6, which was soon also burning furiously. The British steamshiD Clintonia. which was loading with oil, tobacco and general merchandise at pier 5 was soon amaze.. Tugs pulled her out into the middle of the river, where an ineffectual battle was waged at terrible odds against the flames that were raging in her inflammable car go. She was burned down to tne water line at 10 o'clock tonight. The Norwegian steamship Solveig, which was loading grain at pier 5 next caueht fire. The crew of this shin man aged to escape by climbing down the haw sers to tne pier. Meanwhile the Chesapeake and Ohio tug Wanderer, which caught Are soon after the fire broke out, had burned to the water's edge. , The German. sailing ship J. T; Bischorr, taking on staves, from the north side of pier 6, caught fire. The flames obtained such a hold on her that they could not be confined and she went to the bottom at 6 o'clock this afternoon. The crew of this vessel had a very narrow escape irom beiner cremated. They were aroused by a Swede named John Anderao-. and were onlv rescued with the greatest . Ticulty, after the captain and boatswain ld been badly burned. The hard north wind and the heroic efforts of the fire department saved the laree srrain elevator of the Chesapeake and Ohio Company from destruction. The fire was rapidly spreading across the conveyers tnat connect the elevator with the piers, but with the aid or a locomo tive and an immense chain, the convey ers' supports were pulled out, the con veyers themselves torn down and this danger averted. At 1 ciock in tne arternoon tne nre had spent its fury and was well under control. The injured so far as it is known are as follows: Captain Forrest, of the tug Wanderer, slightly burned about the face ano nanus. John Diggs, mate of the Wanderer, badly burned about head and arms. Captain K.rite, of the ship jBischorr, per haps fatally burned, and the boatswain of the same vessel, who was terribly burned about the arms. There are vague rumors of many Per sons having lost their lives, but thev cannot be traced to any reliable source. The Chesapeake and Ohio Railroad Company estimate their loss at about $300,000, which is fully covered by in surance. The' total loss, including the three ships and their cargoes,' the tug Wanderer and the' merchandise in the piers will prpbably reach $2,000,000, The Government Crop Bulletin. Washington, April 21.

Popular Discontant at Athens. London, April 27. The Evening News this afternoon publishes a dispatch from Athens, dated 3:10 o'clock p. m., saying the people there are frightfully Incensed at the retreat of the troops. The dispatch further states that the bitterness against King George and his government is intensified by the news that the- Greek army in Epirus has been ordered to suspend operations, pending reconsideration of the situation by the ministers. Continuing, the dis patch says: "Indeed, it looks probable that to morrow will see the end of the whole business. There is reason to believe the government is contemplating the withdrawal of the Greek troops from Crete and an appeal to the powers to settle the .troubles. This change upon the part of the government is due to Edham Pasha having intimated his in tention qf marching upon Athens." A dispatch has been received here from Athens stating, that affairs there are fast approaching a crisis. The re cent defeats of the Greek army have aroused public feeling to such a pitch that King George may be assassinated or deposed. There is also danger that the mob may take possession of the city. The resignation of the Greek minister of marine is reported in anoth er dispatch. The Discovery Saved His Iiife. Mr. G.

While the ex ports of southern cotton fabrics to Chi na are of the coarser qualities, it is only a question of time when, with the Im provement in machinery and with the payment of better wages, the textile fabrics manufactured on the spot from the staple of the south will' command a market not only in China, but throughout the world. Philadelphia Record. When nations are bent on war a pre text, for unsheathing the sword will never be wanting. If a pretext does not exist, a pretext- will be made. Trea ties, rules of international law. even sacred agreements to submit diffrences to 'arbitration will ever be put aside as so much chaff when nations are bent on settling'their differences by the arbi trament'of the sword. Nations may be awed into abidance by treaties that they would break, asupien may be awed by superior- power tlnto an unwilling submission to distasteful laws, but where they have the inclination to dis regard treaty obligations, and Where they are ready to abide the conse quences, ready to accept the risks of war as the lesser of two evils, or where they feel they can, quiet the qualms of national conscience on the ground that might makes right, no parchment agreements or international codes of ethics will, stand in the way of taking up the sword. Each nation, party to a dispute, and bent on settling it by war, will ever seek to justify its course, ever strive to put the responsibility of put ting aside the. ways of .peace and forc ing a resort to arms on the other; and each, magnifying the extent and man ner in which it has been agrieved, and ignoring its own aggressions, can inva riably make out a presentable'case and a conclusive one to partisans looking through the colored glasses of preju dice.
