THE GEAR AND GIERS.
The Ubiquitous Correspondents
--latest Achievement.

New York Herald cablegram.
ST. PETERsBuRa, May 1.-THE Gar is
again under the influence of the stormy
pctreis OF the old Mnscovite party. He
reads carefully the debates in the English
house of commons, md has expressed
great establishment ut Lord Granville's
construction of the concessions which nj.
lie Giers is alleged to be ready to make.
The Gar is of u very impulsiye
nature, and when excited he calls his
ministers to account with terse military
abruptness. An eye witness vouches for
the accuracy Of the following piquant
scene which took place few days ago ut
the imperial residence ut CATCHING.
The Gar sent an aitle-de- camp to sum
mon M. de Giers in hot haste to his
presence. When the minister arrived the
Gar opened the conversation by saying,
M. de Giers, you have been promising
far too much"
M. de Giers, embarrassed, replied,
''Sire, my statements have been exag-
gerated in London"
The Car rejoined: "My statements
have been exaggerated in my own minis.
try of foreign affairs. The case is this:
You have been hMnmering away ut me fol-
the Inst five weeks to obtain my consent
to sort of quasi arbitration on i'm.

You go and tell Lord granville, Sir Edward
Thornton and Baron de Staal TINT / wai

statement is in turn exaggerated in Lon
don, until at Inst everybody seems to
take it for granted that Russia is ready tc
yield and disgracefully submit to u
foreign decision on matters that concern
solely Russia and Afghanistan. No, M
de Giers, l shall never give up amy
essential point, nor allow any reflection
to be placed ON General Komaroff, who
throughout has acted with discretion and
moderation" s...=..
After this M. de Giers offered hi.
resolution, which, however, thanks tc
the mediation of the EMPRESS was moi
accepted. NJ. de Giers' position is rather
shaky, but il still firmly believed her,
that war has been averted.

The New York Worlds report of the
hanging of Rugg puts the sheriff of
Queens county before the public in a
way that must be unpleasant for that
official. The sheriff is represented as
mot liking to do the job and as having
at first hired man for five dollars to
take his place, When he reflected +,
however, that the condemned man was
only negro he insisted on paying only
Sl.5O. The substitute refused to accept
this offer and, rather than pay s., we are
gravely informed this parsimonious
sheriff swallowed his scruples and did his
own hanging.

The railroad commission law was

The railroad commission law was
repealed last week by the Legislature.
1t was generally believed up to Thurs.
day afternoon that Gov. Bate would
veto it, but he had given no intima'
ton of it at that time. We believe
it is generally conceded that the law
should he repealed, and We hope the
governor will not interpose his veto,
as the legislature will certainly pass
it over his objections. We think it
might be proper for him to call that
body together again Immediately on
adjournment, to pass another railroad
law. The railroads and the people
can agree on a well.guarded statute
for the protection of stock owners
and shippers, and many anti.cOmmis>
sion members would favor a law of
that kind In fact, we learn that the
opposition actually defeated similar
prop )sition in the senate while in the
heat of debate.

MI T j. Bonner, chairman "a: the
committee appointed to investigate as
to the wholesale AMI retail liquor
dealers for 1854, will submit to-day
the report of the work of hi. commit
le4, which is in the main his own
work. 1t shows that in 1884 of 2OlO
liquor dealers, 1910 paid privilege
tax to the amount of Sl54, 6IS.o0.
After making estimates far below the
general average, the committee fluid
the amount due to the state to be
S94,720.50.
From county court clerks eighty
seven replies have been received to
letters as to delinquents.
Many of the failures to collect are
ascribed to the refusal of druggists to
pay, although they give evidence that
they sell by taking out internal rev>
enue license. The clerks have heen
allowing parties to commence business
before they take out license, which is
regarded as a violation of the law,
throwing the liability on the clerks.
Another reason assigned for fail
ures to pay is the fact that when
parties are arrested their fine is not
as large as the tax.
In Davidson county, with 314
dealers. S34, 505.34 was collected
while from shelby, with 593 dealers,
only $50. 324 was collected.
1t is estimated that fully half mil.
lion dollars has been lost the state in
the last five years by failures to pay
license.
Since the committee has been at
work clerks have been enabled to
work knowingly and the Comptrol-
ler's receipts already show the good
effect.-Nashville Union.

SOMETHING WORTH KNOWING.

The law governing the production
of the sexes has been discovered by
Prof. M. Thury, French veterinary
surgeon Of the academy of Geneva.
1t is as follows: When the female is
served at the first signs of heat, the
result is a female; at the end of
heat, a male. Eggs first laid after
the tread, give females; those subse-
quently, male. The queen bees first
eggs yield female; those later, males.
A certified report to the agricultural
society of Canton and Wand, Switz>
erland, made in 1867, reports result
of a careful testing of Prof. Thury's
law, in the following words: con
twenty two successive occasions | de-
sired to have heifers. My COWS were
of the Schurtz breed, and my bull a
pure Durham. | succeeded in these
cases. Having bought me a pure
Durham COW, it was very important
to me to have a new bull to supersede
the one | had bought at a great ex-
pense, without leaving to chance the
production of male. Accordingly |
followed the advice of Prof. Thury,
and the success has proved, once
more, the correctness of his law.
have obtained from my Durham bull
six more bulls for field work; and
having chosen COWS of the same color
and height, | obtained perfect match,
es of oxen. In short, | have made in
all, twenty,nine experiments after
the new method, and in every one
succeeded in the production of what
l was looking for-male or female
| had not one single failure. All thu
experiments have been made by my
self, without any other persons inter
vention; consequently | do declar,
the law discovered by Prof. Thury t
be real and accurate. From DR.

doctors money gave out when it was

up the doorway, and went through
