VI. DELCASSE TO TRY TO DlSSUADE HIM
THE AUIACRAT Is A DISAPPOINTED MAN
~
81 e of nm Heir, Death of the
- 5zarowitch and the Result of
the Peace Conference.

London, August 5.--M. de Blowitz, the
Paris correspondent of the Times, gives
an extraordinary description of the Del
casse mission. He asserts that II was de-
cided on quite suddenly for reason
which admitted of no delay and then
gives the story. which he says he has
from source Ito which am bound to
attach Importance"
This is the explanation; Emperor Mich
olas is disappointed and tired of the
throne. The absence of an heir excites his
superstitious feeling and he feels himself
connected with a Russian legend, accord
ing to which an heirless emperor is to be
to occupy Constantnople. The death of
the czarowitch and the failure of the con
ference at The Hague led him to decide to
abdicate on the occasion of his coming
visit to Darmstadt. On this becoming
known in Paris NJ. Delcasse was sent in
hot haste to dissuade him from carrying
out this intention"
St Petersburg, August An Delcasse,
French minister of foreign affairs. arrived
here today from Paris to return the re-
cent visit of Count Muravieff Russian min
lister of foreign affairs. This evening he
was received by Count Muravlef, with
whom he will dine tomorrow. Count Lam
mes de Mountebelle, French ambassador to
Russia, will return the honor Sunday.
NJ Delcasse will remain in St. Peters
burg FIVE days.

Manchester, Mass, August 4.-Senor
Aspirez, the Mexican minister to the

nights news dispatches which reported
the departure OF President Roca OF the Ar

Brazile, envoy extraordinary and minister
plenipotentiary OF Brazil to the United

last nights dispatches, which reported
the departure OF President Roca and others
from Buenoe Ayres for Brazil
He said The Associated Press can rest
assured that any alliance that may be
formed between South American republics
will be wholly for the better adjustment
of domestic questions, Brazil Is naturally
pacific and with no nation are cur rela-
items more cordial than with the United
States. President Roca Is seeking TO es-
taI1,f> more intimate commercial rela-
lions between South American republics
and this movement may ultimately have
a great pecuniary bearing on American ex-
p rts, for Argentina Is serious competitor
q the United States. while Brazil Is a
great consumer. Argentina raises enor-
nous crops OF wheat. barley, hay and beef
which meet American products In the
Brazilian markets. Brazilian tea, coffee,
tobacco, chocolate and sugar are largely
consumed In Argentina. II the door OF

State Treasury Department.
''Raleigh. Y. c., Feb. %, 1899.

'aHon. II. McD Robinson:
Dear Sir: The State receives no
revenue as license tax from retail
whiskey dealers. The only State revenue
from this source is tax of 2 per cent
on the amount of purchases, which may
be called liquor dealers purchase
tax This amounted in 1898 to 81
1925. No license tax from the retail
liquor dealers is paid to the State by
the counties of Mecklenburg, New Han
over, Wake or any other county.
Very respectfully.
(Signed) wv. Ii. WORTH,
State Treasurer"
As shown by the above papers, Cum
berland county, in which there is a dis
pensary, will have to pay certainly $500
and inasmuch as our dispensary is locat-
ed in a town of more than 1000 inhabi-
tants, probably as much as $1,000;
whereas. Wake, New Hanover and
Mecklenburg counties under the revenue
law of 1897, and under the present
revenue law, which is practically the
same have had and will have to pay
nothing.
In the beginning of the session, not
withstanding the united protests of the
representatives of Cumberland county,
the General Assembly refused to sub
nit the question of n diSpensary or no
dispensary to the people of that county,
and since that time it has established
already many new dispensaries. | submit
that it is unfair. after its action encour-
aging counties to ask for dispensaries TO
attempt to discriminate against them be-
cause they have dispensaries.
Why should Cumberland county pay
1.500 into the State Treasury when
larger counties i'll which more liquor is
sold and by bar-rooms. have not been
and will not be required to pay any
thing?
What i have said as illustrating the
case with reference to Cumberland APP
plies with equal force to the other coun-
ties of the State in which dispensaries
have been established. If the General
Assembly is going to adopt the policy
of taxing dispensaries out of existence,
then it ought to have originally compli-
ed with the reasonable request of the
representatives of Cumberland county
that the matter of Il dispensary should
be submitted to vote of the people.
and certainly should not have created
new dispensaries.
