utterly unable to remedy the disorder.
THE RESERVES OF GRAIN STOLEN.
The supposed reserves OF grain are miss-

czar ordered the distribution of this
reserve grain in the government grana-
ries the officials did not dare to acknowll
edge that the stores were empty and
tried to make up the deficiency from tha
military granarles in order to conceal the
peculaton. 1t 10 feared that this win

In the event OF Russia engaging in war.
The funds for the relief of the starving
people have also been deplora-
bly, mismanaged. lnsSome districts, which

districts no heed il paid TO the starving
peasants. Many government employees
complain that their superiors deduct GER

Great Increase in the Business Of the
Norfolk and Western.
BALTIMORE, Nd, Oct 22-The Manu-
factprers' Record of this week publishes an
interview with President Kiinball Of the
Norfolk and Western railroad, who has just
returned from Europe where he was in the
interest of the road. President Kimball
says: Work on all the extensions OF the
road will be pushed forward with greater
vigor than ever. By Dec. l
sixty miles of the track Of the Ohio extern
sion will be completed to a bridge now
being built across the Ohio river, and re-
gular trains will be running to Columbus
| expect to have the Ohio extension COM
pleted by July next, which will opsn up
the whole west to the celsbrated Pocahontas
coke and coal region.
INCREASES OF IT'S BUSINESS.
"The business Of the road is growing 30
rapidly and So many new industries are
sprlnging up along the line that the man
ayers find it almost impossible to keep pace
with the phenomenal increase in business.
Cars are in great demand and it is difficult
to provide them fast enough for the traffic.
During the present season the Norfolk and
Western has hauled from the Clinch Valley
extension to tideUater 100000 bushels Of
wheat for export, an entirely new busi-
ness, as the road did not handle a
busnel Of wheat for export last year. The
export trade Of the road generally is grow.
ing very fast, and causing rapid increase
in the growing foreign commerce of Nor
folk. | am well satisfied, not only with the
present outlook Of the company's affairs,
but with its future pr spect. With an in
creased business pouring in from all quar-
ters, and with plenty Of money with which
to MAKE the necessary extensions, the Nor
folk and Western is entering upon an era Of
great prosperity"

aEoReIA's SCHOOL FUND.
The Appropriation Not Affected by
the Governors Veto.

the Governors Veto.
ATLANTA. Ga, Oct. 22.--In vetoinG the
school bill passed by the legislature few
days before adjournment, the state has not
been put TO any loss or the school fund i'm
paired by the action Of the governor. The
bill did not involve dollars appropriation,
but was merely a collation. of the several
school laws of the state by which the
public school system IS regulated. The bill
sought to perfect the system and TO allow
more frequent payments of the school fund /,
which at present is paid out serni-annually.
The governor was forced to veto the bill on
account OF the irregdlarity Of one of its
clauses caused by the necessary rush Of
legislation at the close Of the session.
THE ERRONEOUS CLAUSE.
One OF the provisions of the bill was that
1t should not become operative and that no
money should be paid out under 1t until
Jan. /, 1893, and toe final section repealed
oil conflicting laws, it being the intention
OF tho legislature to let the law stand In
place Of all Others " hich 1t repealed. Thus
In repeating all the laws no money could be
paid out of tine school fund until
Jan. l, 1898, though it was the purpose of the
legislature to nave payments 90 on until
that time as at present distributed. Had
the governor signed the bill no money
would have been available until the time
that the new law would go into effect, and
thus, on account Of the unfortunate over,
sight of the legislature, the governor wal
forced to veto the bill or have all the fund
withdrawn until that time The schoo
system is not at all affected, but, on tn,
other hand, has been much strengthened by
the largely increased appropriations OK thl
legislature.
