Under the head OF Estate Finances
;he Vicksburg Post says: 1.-THE greatest
burden OF taxation consists in the i'm
mense sum, compared to the wealth Of
the State, that is raised for the public
schools. About Sl,50O,00O is expended
annually by the State and school dis
tricts in maintaining the present public
school system. There should be public
schools, maintained at tho public OK
perse, but the very serious question
arises whether the State is not going
beyond Its means in the matter OF pub
lie education. There might be some
retrenchment in this department. I'm
der the present judicial system of the
State an immense and useless expense
could be saved to the taxpayersby some
reform in regard to the trial OF petty
offenses and misdemeanors in the cir.

Works Its Legitimate scquence-Wages Go
Down with Prices.
READING, Pa, Feb. 21.-The Reading
Iron Co. posted the following notice in
the works yesterday:
1.-The business situation compels re-
duction in the cost Of production. We
regret that this involves reduction in
wages. In other localities this has
already taken place. This company
has delayed making similar re-
duction in the hope that sub
stantial improvement and better
prices might reasonably be expected.
Severe competition, greater uses OF
steel (Which can be made cheaper than
iron) and other market conditions have,
however, caused prices to decline tc
such an extent that many articles we
manufacture must now be sold below
cost"
The reduction will 60 into effect

The Situation at SelinO.

CANEA, Feb. 23.-The British, Italian
and Russian consuls, who recently went
to Selino to inquire into the situation
there, returned yesterday, bringing
with them no Mussulmans who feared
to remain in town. The consuls state
that they were unable to negotiate
with the combatants, who were re-
solved to fight to the end. Both sides,
Moslems and Christians, refused to be
hampered with prisoners, and there
fore massacred all their enemies who
fell into their hands.
Two thousand civilians and $50 Turk
ish troops with three guns are still
holding Selino against the Christians,
but their position is critical.
When attempting to approach Canea
the consuls were fred upon by the
Christians, despite the fact that they
were bearing white flag. The Chris
tians had been advised of their arrival,
and this made their firing into them all
the more inexcusable, as they could
not plead that they thought their car
rying of the white flag was trick on
the part of the Moslems.
As they returned to Selino the Chris
tians there fired on their boats. No
body is reported to have been injured
Greek troops have saved the lives OF
a number of Mussulmans who were
captured by the insurgents at Kisamo
| Kastele.
Six Turkish soldiers who escaped from
Voukoulis, which place is now in the
hands of the Christians, have arrived
here. The account of the capture Of
the place agrees with the report
already cabled by the representative Of
the United Associated Presses.
The insurgents at Halepa have again
hoisted the Greek flag, but have not re-
newed their fire on the Turkish posts
which are about 1,6O0 yards distant
| from the town.

MISSISSIPPI MATTERS.



Since Gov. McLaurin has decided to
call . conference OF the State officers
and Speaker McCool relative to an extra
session of the legislature, many people
have jumped at the conclusion that
this action meant unequivocally the
calling pf the same. While this may
be the result Of said conference, it Is by
no means certain that such will be the
case. II depends altogether on what
kind Of 2 showing can be made on the
revenues and appropriations. These
will be tho principal questions discussed
at the conference, and 1t appears that
the receipts are likely to fall considera-
bly, under the amount to be paid from
the treasury, thus producing shortage
similar 70 that of last year, there is lit
tie doubt that this conference will de-
eide that an extra session Is neces-
sity. = the discussion 1t is presumed
that the condition Of the capitol build
ing viii also be duly considered. 1t is
getting N : worse condition daily. The
roof in several places leaks badly, new
cracks are appearing, and whether a
new building is provided for or not, it
will take several hundred dollars to
make the temporary repairs necessary
to render the structure habitable. All
members of the legislature have been
consulted by letter about the matter,
and nearly every one has committed
himself on some of the various proposi-
tions, including site, amount the build
Ing should cost, and as to whether an
extra session should be called. A large
majority favored the extra session and
the concensus Of opinion seemed to
favor building to cost $3.50, 900, and the
present site. The plans are all read
for structure to cost that amount, and
II the legislature accepts the same II
need take only few days-fifteen a.

likely TO come before the session. The
commission recommending these\plans
was appointed by tho legislature, ant

themselves on the subject say they art
willing to stand by tho commission!
conclusions. Numerous members have
personally inspected the plans, ant
without an exception they were al
greatly pleased with them.-T. M
