BERLIN, spril 22.-Emperor Will liam and Admiral Prince Henry of Prussia, his brother, spent last Satur- day in witnessing tests of the latest types of medium weight naval guns manufactured by the Krupps.

SULLIVAN ON TAXATION.
Extract from the Message of Hart
 fords Economic League Mayor

Extract from the Message of Hart
 ford's Economic League Mayor.
 The following from Mayor Sullivan's message concerning taxation will be read with interest in this city just at the present time:
 The present system of fixing the rate of taxation of city properties and the methods employed by the board of assessors and the board of relief in determining the just amount of taxes to be levied on either real or personal estate is the subject of general com ment at this time, and should receive serious consideration at the hands of the honorable court of common coun- cil even to the appointment of q spec ial commission to investigate the records of said boards and bring to light, if any are to be found, all mat ters relating to unjust taxation, the partial exemption of certain individ- uals, firms or corporations and ascer- tain whether at any time the special privilege of total exemption has been granted i'll cases other than those which are exempt by law or ordinance.
 Most citizens concede that the small property holders and holders of tene- ment property are to-day bearing the greatest burden of taxes and that our city's future demands an increase in their burden of just and equitable equalization of taxes upon all taxable property Increase in taxation or an increase of the taxable property of ne- cessity calls to mind the industrial condition of our city On basis of 100 per cent we find that Waterbury, :,, ,.n1I New Haven ? per cent, Bridgeport per cent and Hartford has sustained q loss of ? per cent-which would indi- cate decline in manufacturing and q crying need for an active and energet- ic board of trade. No city is really benefited by the growth of speciality manufacturing, as the decline of the bicycle industry would indicate. What we need for the progress and develop ment of our city is multiplicity of varied manufacturing industries which would bring to our city and retain in our midst skilled mechanics who earn good wages.
 The decline in numbers of skilled mechanics employed in this city has been very marked during the past two years and the zeal which is displayed by manufacturers i'll other cities to se- cure skilled tradesmen and mechanics from our shops would indicate a steady decline which must eventually result in great loss to the merchants. Hartford is practically at standstill indlstrially and whether we shall pro- gross or whether We shall recede is q question of such vital importance as to command the attention of all who have the city's interest at heart.
