Georgia's R4Sk Act,

ATLANTA, Ga, Dec. 1.-THE
Legislature has opened the way for
a test of the constitutionality OF
the ten per cent tax on state bank
notes. The Calvin banking act,
passed at a former session, has
been amended so within that time
that public spirited citizens of this
state will establish a bank and
issue notes for the express purpose
of trying the state bank tax issue in
the courts. Many able lawyers who
have given the subject close study
are convinced that this tax is un-
constitutional and some of them
will volunteer to defend in the
courts on the issue of state bank
notes,

The Congress- on Africa

ATLANTA, Ga, Dec. 14.-Gover-
nor Atkinson, in his address be-
fore the congress on Africa, said
referring to the negroes in the con-
version and salvation OF the dark
continent, that it remained for
each to decide for himself whether
he would go or remain here. He
said:
"You are free citizens of this re.

choice is yours; if you think best
to cast your lot among the people
Of your own country, no man may
say you nay. So long as Ihave voice
in the affairs OF Georgia, shall do
my utmost to see that the colored
man has his rights"
The object Of this congress is to
give the American negroes a right
view OF their relations to civiliza-
ton and redemption of Africa. The

AMERICAN CITIZENS IN ITALY
Forced to Do Military Duty on
Penalty of imprisonment,

CHICAGO, Dec. l4.-Minister OF
War, Mocinni, of the Italian gov
eminent, is now in correspondence
with Count Rozedowiski, consul at
Chicago, concerning a question of
forced service for an American
citizen in the Italian army. Arthur
Durante, naturaliZed citizen,
editor of Chicago L'Italis, and for
a second time municipal office
holder, has been ordered to report
for physical examination to de-
termine his fitness for service as a
soldier OF Italy.
Early next week, in pursuant to
these orders, Mr.. Durante will re-
port at the Office of the Consulate
and submit to an examination.
Mr.. L.. Durante says that owning
to the diplomatic policy between
the United States and Italy it is
necessary to acquiesce in the de-
mand OF King Humbert if he
wishes to escape arrest, imprison-
ment and enforced military duty
on the occasion of any future visit
to his fatherland.
The right Of Italy's subjects to
give allegiance to foreign powers
is unquestioned. Italy claims all
who have ever owned allegiance to
its government and although I'M
able to enforce the claims on aliens.
They are liable to incarceration
for six months besides army SER
vice when they return.

CHICAGO, Dec. IA local paper
says: Chicago brewers are tired
Of being saloon keepers, and have
decided that after January l, there
will be LOO less saloons in the
city than at present. Those that
remain must pay third or half
more for beer than is being paid
now. In consequence OF this de-
cision, there is general alarm
among saloon-keepers, whose H.
censes are owned and whose rents
are paid by the brewers, and two
thousand or more OF them are won
dering who will have to 60 to work.
The leading brewers OF the city
have held several secret meetings
ar which it was decided to raise the
price Of beer on the first of January.
Companions Of receipts and ex-
penses have shown that the close
competition in Chicago has been a
loosing game and the brewerles
have.decided to retrench.
For several years past it has
been the policy of the brewers to
establish saloons wherever there
was prospect OF selling enough
beer to make paying investment.
Competition was so close that one
brewery would establish in the
neighborhood where it was known
there would be little or no return,
simply to prevent some other
brewery from securing a foothold
in that territory. 1t is said that
the brewers have lost money and
many ambitious ealOonkeepeTs
have sunk their savings in losing
business. In their recent meetings
the brewers have decided, so it is
said, that there are too many sa.
looms in the city and they have de-
cided to lop off large number of
them, believing that those that
remain will be able to do as much
business as was formerly done and
that with less expense. One pro-
prietor, when spoken to, admitted
rise in the price was contem.
plated. He said the brewers had
agreed with the lone exception Of
one man, who is not a Chicago
brewer. to advance the price from
S4 to 50 barrel. The dropping of
LOO saloons will mean a serious
loss to the revenue OF the city. At
present each saloon in the city
pays license of $500 a year.

Wants 100000.

RICHMOND, Va, Dec. 14.-The
executive committee of the board
of visitors OF the university of Vir.
ginia were before the joint finance
committees of the two houses
of the general assembly and
ways and means of restor-
ing the burned buildings were
discussed. Addresses were made
by DIR. Randolph, Hon. Marshal
Mccormick and Professor Dabney,
of the university. These gentle
men took the position that they
would prefer an appropriation Of
100000 outright, but suggested
several plans by which the state
could provide a restoration fund
without taking the money directly
out of the treasury.
The finance committee then adj
journed without action, but will
give due consideration to the plan.

Platt lieutenants in New York
state, said that Harrison would be

New YORK, Dec. l4.-Although
the visit Of Lord Dunraven to New
York has been postponed for a
time, the special committee Of the
Yacht club appointed to investi-
gate the charges made against the
Defender people have asked what
arrangements have been made for
the inquiry. The officers OF the
club are asked to set aside a portion
Of the model room for hearing as
better for their meeting, consider
ing all the circumstances, and the
first session will be held at the
club house on Friday, the Goth. 1t
is not possible for Dunraven to be
here by that time, but whether
this fact will cause any OF the
plans agreed upon by the commit
tee toIbe changed cannot Of course
now be told, yet it seems unnat-
ural that the disaster to the Ger
manic should have delayed the
arrival of the British yachtsman.
The committees arrangements to
be ready on the goth instant to
hear what Dunraven has to dis
close was due TO the fact first, that
he would be in New York as
thought; and second, that they
would have made themselves &C.
quainted with the report OF the
''cup" committee and thus, in a
measure, be in a position to appre-
ciate the strength or weakness Of
his testimony. But it may be that
the absence of the author of the
Defenders charges at the first or
second session OF the com mittee
will not be material, as II any evil
dence Of an important character
is taken before his arrival, he can
be made acquitted with it, if such
is his wish. Still, it is necessary
that Lord Dunraven should be on
hand at the hearing at the first
possible moment, as with the
charges officially before the club
the rest of the work will be toler-
ably clear.
1t will, OF course, be the wish of
the Defender syndicate to cross-ex-
anime Lord Dunraven through
their counsel. 1t is reported that
John Choate has been retained and
will look after the interests of the
syndicate or, to be more particular,
of Mr.. Iselin's interests, at the
hearing of the club. Then Lord
Dunraven will, no donbt, be glad
to hear the evidence of the Defend
er's cross examination OF his coun-
sci, which may be based upon his
suggestions and thus be satisfa c.
tory to himself.
According to cablegram, Dun
raven, after the accident to the
Germanic, returned to London and
announced that he would make
some new arrangements with the
New York Yacht club before pro-
ceeding to America. H. Maitland
Kersey, Lord Dunraven's repre-
sentative in New York, was asked
when the earl would sail for this
country and whether he has made |
any new arrangement with the New
York Yacht club. In reply, Mr.,
Kersey said:
81 have not heard from Lord |
Dunraven and do not know what
he has made. He,
as yet, has probably not completed
his plans. OF course, after the &C
cident to the Germanic, he re-
turned to London. If any arrange
ments have been made with the
committee, they have not been
made through me-"
