ice cannot be obtained for love or

Total.

From this report it will be seen that
for every month except three the total
of shipping exceeded 81 100000. This
is record never before made.
The arrivals of vessels for the year
numbered 545-a large increase over
the preceding fiscal year.
The leading items of shipment were
as follows:
17S,507 bales cotton, 2 ,437 bales cot
ton seed, 3,230 bales domestics, ~, ,l58
tons phosphate, "a ,O96 barrels turpen-

feet timber, Ill ,446, 900 feet lumber,
1852 ,2G7 crossties and 1886 $50

The story told by these figures ought
to be very encouraging to every
friend of Brunswick-especially when
it is considered that the ratio of in
crease ls steadily keeping up, each
succeeding month showing large IN
crease over the same month of the
preceding year.

Committee on Revenue Of the
State Make Important Some
Recommendations.
QUASI PUBLIC CORPORA TONS
Must Be Taxed or the State Tax on the Towns
and Cities Must Be Increased-O Other
Business Transacted.

In the Senate today Senator Freeman
presented the report of the Commission on
Revenues of the State. According to the
report the estimated extraordinary ex-
penditures for the next five years are
$1,746, ,997.S3.
In the above amount is not included the
amount necessary for the completion OF
the new State House, and, provided that
there is bond issue of 81, 100000 for this
work, the sum of $4,000 must be added
for interest and sinking fund.-
The committee recommended the pas
sage OF bills for the increase of the revenue
of the State, among them an Inheritance
tax and tax on quasi public corporations.
This would include the railroads, tele-
graph, telephone, gas, electric lighting and
street railway companies.
The report says further that the State
must enact the above, or increase the State
tax on cities and towns, or do without the
extraordinary appropriations for several
years to come. The report was referred to
the Judiciary Committee.
Mr.. w. w. Blodgett OF Pawtucket pre-
sented bill to amend the charter of the
Pawtucket Electric Company by authoriz-
ing them to generate steam for heating or
motive power and sell the same. Referred
to the Committee on Corporations.

SUBWAY BLAMED.
Fire Marshal WhitCOmb on
the Gas Explosion.
Boston Gas Company Not Grossly
Negligent in Its Part.
Ample Safeguards Should Have Been Provided
In the Methods Of Constructions.

Boston, May 4.-Fire Marshal Whit
comb has rendered his findings IN the
gas explosion which occurred on March
at the corner OF Boylston and fremont
streets.
IL is interesting, not merely on ac-
count of the serious nature of the catas-
trophe, but because one finding has pre-
viously been rendered by Judge Ely of
the municipal court and another is yet
to come from the gas commissioners.
The marshaPs report is addressed to his
legal chief, Insurance Commissioner
Merrill.
The report reviews at considerable
length all the circumstances attending
the explosion, but the finding is as fol-
lows:
That the fire, which is the subject Of
this report, was caused by an explosion
of air. combined with gas. which had
been allowed to accumulate in the sub
way excavation before referred to, and
that, in all probability, the triangular
hole which was directly under the Mount
Auburn car had become so charged with
these combined elements that when the
gas which reached the street from it be-
came ignsced by a spark from a passing
car wheel, ii exploded with the force OF
an immense cartridge.
That the gas. which had been gradu-
ally escaping and filling the area above
referred to since the early morning, In
all probability came from the westerly
fracture in the six-inch gas main of the
Boston Gas company. although there is
some evidence tending to show that the
original break may have been in the
eight-inch main.
That the fracture from which the gas
escaped may have been caused In either
one of several ways-by settlement of
the ground, the loosen.ng OF the pipe
supports, or by the action OF the frost
That such fracture was the natural,
and not the negligent, result of the con
struction OF the subway in accordance
with the legislation which authorized IT
and the contract under which il was
carried on.
While this contract may not be neces-
sarily faulty i'm its provisions, it is plain
to see, since the accident, that the
safety OF the public might have been bet
ter insured by change in some Of its
terms.
That any defects of legislation or con-
tract could only have been remedied in
one way, namely, by a system Of the
closest inspection and most constant
watching.
That there was no such inspection and
watching for over "A hours previous to
the explosion on the part of those upon
whom this duty was incumbent
That this fire and explosion were not
the result Of any wilful act or omission
on the part of any individual or corpora
tion.

TOKEN OF ESTEEM.

Capt. NickesOn Says Good-By to the Mes.-
bsrs OF the Police Force.
Ex-Captain of Police James p. Nickerson
called at the police station just before the
o'clock roll call last evening to say good
by to the men he had formerly COM
manded.
Captain Nickerson in his twenty years
of service has made many friends among
the force, and the fact of his popularity
was evident last evening when at roll-call
Sergt. Gardiner with appropriate remarks
presented him with substantial purse on
behalf OF the members OF the department.
Capt. Nickerson was taken completely by
surprise and for moment was speechless.
He accepted the gift in the spirit in which
1t was rendered, and thanked the members
of the force for their kindly act. The
leave taking with the men with whom
Capt. Nickerson had been associated for SD
many years was the hardest part of the
otherwise pleasant occasion.
The purse is understood to be a very sub
stantial gift, and the matter has been very
quietly handled by the officers
1t was the intention Of Capt. Nickerson
to leave with his son Howard for Cali
fornia tomorrow, but owing to the death
of brother-in law his departure will be
postponed one week.
Capt. Nickerson leaves Pawtucket with
the best wishes OF many Of its residents.

Greeks Determined to Keep Up
the Fight and Retrieve
For Losses.
STILL TALK OF INTERVENTION
Number at PharsaIos Far Less Than Reported
Officers Burning to Be Led Against
Turk-0pinions Of Foreign Press.

The chief points of interest in the East
ern situation are: First, that the oe-
cision of the ministers who have re-
turned from the Greek frontier seems 10
be in favor of a continuance OF the war
and, second, that fighting continued al
most necessarily at Velestino from last
Tuesday until Sunday, with the result
that General Smolenski has been pre-
vented from actually assuming his new
duties as chief of staff. AS further re-
suit the Greeks at Velestino have man
aged to retain their positions but they
are too much fatigued to follow up their
success. Altogether IA officers nave peen
recalled from Crete to be sent on to Thes-
sally. and this also Is proof OF the IN
tention of the new cabinet to continue
the war. The movement is actuated by
necessity. All the best officers are be-
ing sent to the 'front.' nor Is there any IN
tention vet displayed to evacuate Crete.
The Turkish army is advancing in three
columns on Pharsalos, while an addi-
tional column is operating in the ddrec-
ton of Volo. AS the Volo column could
easily take Velestino in the rear, the
Greek position is very precar1ous. rms
probably explains the retention or Gen
eral Smolenski there, as ii was natural
to expect him to go to Pharsalos to as
sumo the supreme command. Every
thing points to an inevitable retreat by
the Greeks on Domokos. The diplo-
matte situation continues obscure. with
a constant interchange of dispatches be-
tween European cabinets and an inces-
SAINT interviewing of ministers.

At ATHE Ms.

Athens. May Am an interview yes
terday. M. Ralli said that the report sent
by the ministers of war and OF the In
terror from Pharsalos were in most re
spects highly satisfying. He said they
had wired him from Pharsalos that the
front line of the army was in battle ar
raw and the Turkish attack imminent.
All the preparations possible had been
made for heroic defense, and the spirit
of the army was much better than be-
fore. owing to the change in the supreme
command.
M. Ralli declared that the victory at
Velestino was the most splendid achieve,
ment of the war, the Greeks capturing
an enormous quantity of arms. ammu-
milton and horses. The Turks, after thds
crushing defeat NJ. Ralli believes. are
not likely to re-engage in hostlities in
that quarter.
Under all the circumstances he deems
It advisable to leave General Smolenski
with his own brigade and not to pro-
mote him To a higher post for the mo-
ment.
A dispatch from Karvassara says that
the Greek squadron at Prevesa is pas
sively awaiting orders. and that the
Prevesa forts bombarded Actium on
Saturday.
A dispatch from Volo says that the
foreign warships have moved further
out, leaving the Greek fleet free range
and that the Greek fleet has sent four
heavy guns to Velestno.
In the battle at Velestino. which con-
tinued throughout Friday. 10000 Turks
made repeated assaults on the Greek
positions at the railway juncture. They
were finally driven from the field.
The chief feature of the engagement
was a brilliant charge of 1900 Circassian
cavalry in order to capture a field bat
terry. which was supported on each flank
by strong bodies of Greek infantry. The
Circassians nearly reached the guns, but,
swept by the fanking musketry fire,
they were forced to retreat. the battery
shelling the retreating horsemen with
such execution that the wheat fields
were covered with the bodies Of men
and beasts.
The Greek troops have entirely re-
covered their morale. and their splendid
efforts have proved how great an effect
able commanders like General Smolenski
and General Jannikosta can produce on
disheartened troops. The Greek losses
were chiefly due to the infantry fire. very
few of the Turkish bombs exploding
The enemy retreated out Of sight toward
Larissa during the night.
An inspection OF the battlefield re-
vealed long line of wheat fields strewn
with corpses. The Turkish attempt to
outfiank the Greek right proved very
disastrous. owing to the nurderous
musketry fire which poured down the
slope held by the infantry and Evzones.
. The Turkish cavalry charge on the Greek
left seemed an act of sheer madness. for
the horsemen attempted to ascend a
long. steep incline IN the face Of two
strong entertainments Of infantry.

ANTITRUST LAW INVALID.
Justice Chester Says It Is Unconstltution-
 al and yacatcs Orders Under It.

Justice Chester Says It Is Unconstltution-
 al and yacatcs Orders Under It.
 Albany. July 14-Justice Alden Ches- ter has vacated the orders granted by
 him upon the application of the attor-
 ney general in June last compelling the presidents of the various coal road companies to appear before a referee as witnesses in a procedure under the
 new antitrust laws. to determine as to whether there is an alleged illegal con- tract arrangement or combination in
 violation of chapters 3S3 and SS4 of the
 laws of 1897. and in which they or their
 roads are participants.
 The motion upon which the decision
 was given was argued before Judge Chester on June S. some two weeks aft
 CT he had granted a motion of the at torney general for the appointment Of referee and also after the service
 upon the presidents of the various
 roads of orders for them to appear be- fore such referee, Walter F.. Ward of
 Albany. The motion was on behalf of the various roads-the Delaware Nand Hudson, the Delaware. Lackawanna and Western, the New York, Ontario
 and Western and the Jersey Central for a vacation of the orders so granted
 on the ground that the acts were un- constitutional; that the legislature ex- ceeded its powers, and that the powers | given to the supreme court judge ex- | ceeded the judicial functions allowed i by the constitution. Eminent counsel argued the case for the roads. Judge | Chester granted the first orders under the new law upon request and without | reference to the merits of the applica- | tion.
 An appeal will be taken at once from
 he decision to the appellate division of | the supreme court. but as that division | 1oes not sit until Sept. and as an ap- | peal will be taken even to the highest | court there can be no final conclusion | much before the last month of the year. In his decision Justice Chester touch-
 ed upon only two points of constitu- | tionality. He declares that the power granted to supreme court justices is | excessive of the judicial functions
 granted by the constitution. The legis- | lature, he holds. has no power to inn pose upon a supreme court justice func- tions of a nonjudicial character, as they | have in these laws.
