1t would doubtless have come about with
out the Graeco-Turkish war, but that event
has undoubtedly afforded the opportunity
which Russia, Germany and Austria, par
ticularly the first two, have long desired of
entering into a compact to oppose the
schemes of Great Britain. The coalition
has not yet served formal notice on Great
Britain that it will not be permitted to
lay hands on any more territory in the
east or in Africa, but it is very evident that
both parties understand that it has been
as good as given, and both will probably
govern themselves accordingly. Great
Britain may remain mistress of the sea, but
there is reason to believe that it will not
be permitted to extend it's trade further by
seizing more land and practically placing
more inferior people under tribute to the
of Great Britain. 1t is this UNI
Outstanding which has given to the con-
troversy in regard to the Transvaal its
present significance. Dom Kruger would
not be as bold as he is were he not aware
that the coalition will not permit Great
Britain to interfere with his territory or
lessen his authority in South Africa. Par
lament would not be discussing the situa-
ton in Transvaal rs it has been if it were
perfectly certain that the British govern
ment would be permitted TO carry out its
plans with reference TO that quarter of the
earth. Germany. once on friendly relations
with Great Britain, has been drifting away
toward hostility. The two peoples are at
outs. They have been making faces at
each other since the Emperor assured Dom
Kruger that he would stand by him in
resisting the British. The real cause of the
hostility grows out of their competition to
obtain the worlds markets. Russia has
: long been quietly hostile to Great Britain.

The condition of great prosperity in Great
Britain which the financial statement made
to the House of Commons shows to have
existed the past two or three years is due
IN no small degree to the present tariff
in no small degee to the present tariff,
to promote the prosperity of Europe at the
expense of the United States The Re
publicans in Congress are trying to enact
a tariff which will return the exported
prosperity.

The exhibition which Tennessee has
opened at Nashville seems to be a most
creditable affair. Tennessee is not one of the
manufacturing States. 1t is not one of the
progressive States; it keeps a violent tenn
.pered fossil in the Senate; it still clings
to the heresy that those who count votes
should revise the work of the voters by
making fraudulent returns. Tennessee, how
ever, has varied natural resources, a favor
able location with reference to the rest of
the country, and is sure, in time, to make
a great State. The leaders in the enter
prise have performed wonderful things IN
getting up an exposition that would be a
credit to any State IN the Union. 1t will
not pay in immediate returns, but if the
people of Tennessee make the most of the
exposition it will do much to bring Ten
nessee to the front rank of States.

In the event of war the United States
might find itself embarrassed somewhat as
Greece has been in her war with Turkey by
a superabundance of aged officers. The last
military nomination, sent to the Senate a
few days ago, was that of a first lieutenant
hfty-eight years of age, to be a junior in
fantry captain. This seems to indicate a
lack of young blood among the higher Off
GERS.

Town elections will occur to-day through

They will be held under the recent amend

the expense of this committee.
Mr.. TrueblOod moved that the vote
by which the OleomargSrine bill was
defeated be TeCODsIdered. CubbisOn
moved to lay the motion on the table.
The motion was tabled by vote Of SO
to 56. Those voting to table opposed
the bill. Fifteen Republicans voted
against tsblIng the motion. A good
deal of time iS wasted every day trying
to get bills advanced on the calendar,
but the attempts are usually unsuc-
Cessful.
In Committee Of the Whole q great
deal of work was done in the afternoon.
The bill to appropriate the reciprocal
fire tax money to fire departments,
which is In accordance with the pres.
emit law, was fsvOraDly reported. Ap.
preparation bills for the Girls Industrial
School, the Agricultural College, con-
veying prisoners to the Penitentisry,
the geological survey, the Soldiers
Home, the Topeka Insane Asylum, the
Blind Institute, the deficiency In Dis
triCt Judges salary fund, for a ward
building at the Topeka Asylum and
for bust of Ex-Governor Robinson,
were all considered and 1t was recon-
commended that they be passed. Some
time was spent on the school book bill,
but the committee did not complete
consideration Of 1t.
An evening session was held, which
was spent In Committee of the Whole
considering the House bill providing
for the trimming Of hedge fences aud
the cutting of weeds on the public
highways. The bill with some amend
ments was fsvorably reported, and tn g
House adjourned.

FRIDAY.

In the Senate, consideration Of the
county salary bill was resumed,
Through the efforts Of Senators Lup.
fer and Pritchard an amendment was
secured giving counties having less
than 10000 population an allowance
from the county treasury of not to
exceed $500 for the Probate Judge, the
amount to be determined by the Com
miGsiOners. This is in addition to the
fees, and enables counties to make the
Probate Judges Office afford a living
for the incumbent, without which In
many cases IL would not do. The bill
was then passed by vote Of ~ 20 l2.

THURSDAY.

In the Senate, three new bills were
introduced. One by Reser (by request)
provides for the regulation Of assess
ments and home rule In taxation. An
other by Titus relates to the time of
holding court In the Thirty.first dis
trict. The third is by the Ways and
Means committee and provides for a
small appropriation for Improvement
Of Che State House grounds, for the
completion OF q few rooms and to keep
the building In repair.
The Senate concurred In the House
amendments to the Harris railroad bill
by q unanimous vote. Sheldon and
Stocks were absent. Several Senators
gave notice that they would file q pro-
test later.
The Committee on Manufactures and
Industrial Pursuits recommended the
confirmation of w. L. A. johnson as
Labor Commissioners. He was con-
firmed by the Senate with but one dis.
senEing vote.
The Committee on Fees and Salaries
reported the House county officers sal.
ary bill with amendments reducing the
salaries materially ss compared with
the amounts In the bill as IL passed the
House.
Senate bill 324, relating to heirs of
estates, was read the third time and
passed, the vote being-yeas 26, nays 6.
Senate bill IL, providing for a county
tax levy for schools, was placed on
third reading. This bill would abolish
school district tax collections and would
make a general levy for the county, the
income from which would be divided
among the various districts. While 1t
would enable isolated districts TO get a
proportiOnate benefit from railroad tax,
IL would likely raise the average levy
in country districts. The bill was de-
feated by o vote OF 16 to 16.

Calendar submitted a report. The bills
placed at the head of the calendar are
substantially the same as those in a
similar position In the House, except
that several important House bills
which have been passed by that body
have been advanced.
Senator Titus offered and asked that
the following statement be made a
part Of the Journal: "Several news.
