congressman.
Their purpose in coming to Washington
is TO make an effort TO have put in the war
revenue bill, now being discussed in the
House, provision levying duty on Egyp-

These prominent representatives of the
sea island cotton industry had an idea
that by coming here at this time, when

they might be more successful In having
a revenue tax put upon this product, lack
Of which has so lowered the price of their
product.
Congressman Brantley and Lester of
Georgia and Davis of Florida, from whose
districts they come, say that there Is no
possible chance for such a provision to be
coupled to the present revenue bill, as Il
deals only with internal taxes, and Chair

AT intervals that portion of the world
which is interested in the golden book of
royalty is reminded that the mad King OF

latino otto of Wittelsbach, is still living by
reports of his approaching death. Such a
report was published the other day. Doubt
less if II should prove to be a veritable pre-
diction there would be scant mourning IN
Bavaria or elsewhere when the curtain
falls forever upon the life of the unhappy
man who succeeded to the royal preroga-

TRYING TO FIX THE PAVING.

Part of Bull street Closed to
Travel.
Work upon the Bull street paving con-
tinued yesterday. Alderman Davis con-
tends that, all opinions to the contrary
the gravel pavement will prove to be a
good one.
The appearance of the pavement yes
terday was not such as to give this i'm
preston, and many people do not agree
with the chairman of the streets and lanes
committee. Chairman Dale of the County
Commissioners says it is not true that the
new portion of Dale avenue was in the
same condition as Bull street. Only that
portion of the avenue which had not been
rolled was affected by the downpour, he
said.
A gentleman who inspected the pave
ment yesterday said that the material used
is simply ordinary gravel, which exists
in quantities all over Georgia and adj
joining states, and is not cement gravel,
which is found only in rare instances
There is a worldwide difference between
ordinary gravel and cement gravel,as those
who have inspected Bull street are begins
ming to learn ~
The completed part Of the paving he
tween New Houston and Anderson streets
was re-rolled yesterday, and the street we
closed to travel until ii is resurfaced and
put in a somewhat better condition than
it has been for the last two days, or in
fact since the gravel was laid. Property
owners on Bull street, who are expected
to pay for part of the paving, are interest
ing themselves in the matter, and they
propose to have a satisfactory pavement
before they pay their assessments.

Americans are eternally quarreling over

that their friends were interested in what
was being accomplished. There are in the
nesghborhood of $50 pictures on exhibition,
all of which were highly complimented. In
view of the comparatively short time Mr..

bring under American control Cuba,
Porto Rico, Hawaii, the Philippines, and
the islands of Guam on the route from
Hawaii to the Philippines. Disturbing
influences on our southern border are
removed, our control of the Caribbean
sea and the Gulf of Mexico is assured,
and a chain of stations across the Pacific
is established, bringing us to the door
way of Asiatic commerce. Hawaii comes
into the union under treaty as a terri
tory. Under the treaty with Spain there
are no restrictions as to American ad-
ministration in Cuba. AS to Porto Rico
and the Philippines, the treaty provides
that the inhabitants shall have guaran-
teed to them the rights of property and
the free exercise of their religion. The
civil rights and political status of the
native inhabitants are to be determined
by congress. The annexed territory of
1898, including Cuba, the Philippines,
and Porto Rico, is 17O,176 square miles,
with a population of 9,849,3l1. All the
islands are not half so large as Texas,

give us the foundation of inestimable

The jamestown Alert suggests that
some practical means should be taken to
put on the market the large amounts of
grazing land which yet remains the
property of the government in the state
at a moderate price-say 81 Or s1.25 per
acre. 1t is remarked that the greater
part Of the agricultural land in the state
has been taken up and that it will be
long before the grazing land is taken
up under the homestead act, few per-
sons being inclined to live five years on
a quarter section of grazing land for the
purpose of securing possession but that
if it were to be sold, the land would be
purchased by small ranchmen, to the
great building up and benefit of the cat.
tic industry in the state. By limiting the
quantity to be sold to any n person, its
possession by a few large ranchmen
would be prevented.
