An Austin special says: Attorney
General Crane stated this evening, for
publication, that he has always be-
lieved that the express companies were
compelled to pay the internal revenue
tax rather than the shippers, and that
inasmuch as the railroad commission
of Texas had fixed the rates to be
charged by the express companies on
all freight carried between points in
Texas. that the imposition on the ship
per of paying the internal revenue tax
was simply an increase of that rate.
For example, where the express COM
panies were allowed 30 cents per 100
for carrying certain class of freight q
given distance, and they re-
quired the shipper to pay the
80 cents per hundred, and in sddi-
ton thereto the l cent tax, it is
equivalent to paying 81 cents, and
that, under the statute, constitutes eX-
tortion, and the express companies are
liable for the penalty on each indivi.
dual shipment. He said that he had
called the attention OF the railroad
commission to this fact, and that they
would gather evidence to enable his
department to bring these suits unless
the companies desisted from the
course that they seems to
have adopted. He stated that
he did not mean to be understood as
saying that this would be the only
remedy that would be applied-that it
might be that this violation of the fed
eral statute rs we'll as the state law
would justify a more severe penalty
than that. In other words, the right
of the express company to do business
in Texas when it openly violated the
statutes of both the state and the Unit
ed States might become serious ques-
ton.

A Wise Conclusion.

Twice recently have the E. P. x N.
Z. coaches been pushed through the
east end of the G. II. coach sheds. The
first time the accident happened the
G. h. company repaired the damage
and presented the +. P. & N. + com
pany the bill and it was paid. The
second time the accident occurred,
however, it was such complete Job
that 1t set the officials of both lines to
thinking, and they decided to put in
double doors just the size of the open
ing made by the coach. 1t is said that
a watchmen will be stationed there
and should the f. 2. & n. +. people
desire to run their coaches out on the
ground the doors can be easily opened
and they may pass through without
damaging the end of the building. This
arrangement will doubtless prove sat

COrnered the Lily Market.

It is believed that the people of the
United States spend So, 1000 900 every
year for Bermuda lilies. AT Easter
time shiploads are brought to New
York. There are number of persons
on the island who devote their entire
time to raising lilies for thst market,
while all the population contribute to
the volume OF exports. The industry
was inaugurated by Gen. Russell
dent McKinley's regiment. the Twen-
ty-third Ohio, who married niece of
President Hayes and was appointed
consul to Bermuda during the Hayes
administration. Mrs. Hastings ia said
to have suggested the idea. During
one of her visits to the United States
she went into flower market in New
York to buy a bunch of lilies for a
friend and was charged 81 for each
cluster. She paid SO for such bunch
as she could have purchased for %
cents or less at Bermuda and when she
returned home she Inquired why it
was not possible to ship lilies to the
United States.
Several attempts have been made to
introduce lily culture In the United
States. All along the South Atlantic
coast from North Carolina to Calves
ION, repeated experiments have failed
and great deal of money has been lost
in that way. The industry is so prof.
table that the secretary of agriculture
some weeks ago sent Prof. Galloway of
the botanical division to Bermuda for
the purpose of making a study of the
conditions, soil, moisture, temperature
and method of cultivation and other
n7itions under which the lilies are
raised

SPANIARDS EXPECT AN ATTACK
Picket Boats Alert Within and With.
ont the Harhor


AS the conviction becomes settled at
Havana that the court of Inquiry will
decide that there was q mine ex-
plosion under the Maine, discussion
among naval officers and civilians there
is prevalent IS to the warlike measures
which it is believed that the United
States government will adopt in case
the question of the payment of indem-
nifty by Spain is Overruled. A major
ity believe that American troops will
be landed at.sOme point east of Havana,
that the Spanish soldiery will be de-
feste1 or captured in detail, aud that
in the m antine q feet of United
States vessels will blockade, If not
bonn bard, Havana.
No one seems to doubt that the re-
ductiOn of Havana would be com
psratively easy. -Four 12-inch guns
two west and two asst of the city-are
the only ones that are considered
angerous. These are not likely to be
we'll served, while their emplacements
are not modern.
That some Spsniards are of opinion
that an attack on Havana will be made
is believed to be shown by the alb
norm al activity displayed on board the
Vizcaya. The Associated Press cor
respe ndent has the best naval au-
thority for the statement that the
Vizcsya is in constant state of readi-
ness for emergencies, aud that picket
boats are on the alert, day and night,
