Suspicion That Europe is Responsible.

: There is strong suspicion at Wash
ington that European influences are
responsible for the practical failure
of the Panama Canal negotiations,
and it will take great deal more
than an official denial from Germany
to convince the State Department
that the Berlin Government has not
been meddling il the affair.

THE REFLECT OF
JACKSON LOBBIES.
Crisp Notes of State Interest
CuIIed at the Capital City.
CAPITOL VAULT COMPLETED.
State House to be Completed on Time--
Information Wanted by Archiyist of
Notable Citizens.

Jackson, Miss.-The State treas
ury is now enjoying the pleasing
sensation of fullness after It's long
period OF emptiness. Tie funds in
the treasury are something over
5000, 900. This is the result of the
heavy tax settlements made in the
various counties of the state. There
is some small amount still to come in
to the treasury during the month
and by the first of next month the
cash balance will be- ssover $3.50, 600.
Between the first and the tenth of
February there will come in the
January tax collections which are
always considerable, as many OF the
merchants and others in the state
who pay taxes frequently delay
payment until the first of January,
when they get their business on
financial footing for the new year.
Out of the funds the heaviest pay
ment to be made will be the school
distribution which is TO be made at
once. The whole amount OF the fund
apportioned by Superintendent
Whitfield, being nearly $780, 900,
will not be paid out of the treasury,
as the polls collected in each county
will be deducted from the appor-
tionment made. This will reduce
the amount to about So, 600, and
will take about 5000, 600 to come out
of the treasury.
