Revenue Agent Adams has re-

the Yazoo and Mississippi Valley
and the Gulf and Ship Island rail-
road in the suits instituted by hind
to recover the special privilege OF
ten dollars per mile, authorized by
the Legislature to be assessed
against railroads claiming exemp-
ton from State supervision as to
freight rates. The act Of the Legis-
lature was passed in 1898, and the
railroa have resisted collection
ever since, on the ground that it
was an unconstitutional discrimina-
tioa. 1t is stated that the amount
recovered from the two roads Will
be about $4,000, two-thirde OF
which will be paid by the Yazoo

charge of the bugs, is arranging
those in one class which are regard
ed as beneficial to mankind. For
instance, there will be an exhibit of
silk worms that by a.system of arti-
fetal retardation of the eggs will
found feeding and spinning their
cocoOns throughout the continuance
of the fair. The honey will have a
special place, and all the latest in
ventions of American ingenuity in
the line of agriculture will be pre-
sented. Another special feature
will be the exhibition of living in
sects feeding in glass cages on their
Eatural food plant and undergoing
their transformations under the

TREND OF EVENTS
AT WASHINGTON.
Terse Topics of Interest to the
Great American Citizenry.
OUT CHASING NEW JERSEY.
The District of CoIumbia's Corporation
Laws Said to Be Even More to the
Liking of Capitalists Than Those OF
Famous New Jersey.

Washington. This city will with
In five years become the center OF
the trust-incorporatin2 industry.
New Jersey will certainly lose it,
because her laws of incorporation
are so much more stricJ than those
which congress has enacted for the
purpose OF enabling capitalists to
incorporate themselves to do bust
ness as stock companies. The last
congress liberali.ed the corpora
ton law for the purpose OF inviting
tie formation OF companies TO estab-
tish factories in the District OF Co.
lumbia. So far ascertsinable. 1t
had no idea of establishing corpora
ton factory here, But that Is what
it has done. A corporation has been
found, the sole business of which Is
60 incorporate companies that fird
che laws of States too strict to suit
notions as to stock holders liability
and things Of that kind. The CON-
paws fee is only $50, and for that
sum it will look after the interests
of a company for a whole year.
When the company is organized 1t
is necessary to have three residents
of the District of Colum bra, but 1T
does not require them to remain on
the board of directors. The prac-
tice is for the three local men to re-
sign as soon as the prom oters OF the
scheme fEd the men they want for
directors. Then they are at liberty
to do anything with the corporation
their fancy may dictate. rEe only
restriction on them is that they
must not issue stosk in excess of the
amount their charter authorizes
them to put on. They may issue
bonds in as great quantities as they
can pay the printer for. There are
no fees to be paid, graded accord
ing to the amount CT stock, as there
are In New Jersey and in many OF
the other States.

Nothing has yet been heard iE
official quarters of the ultimatum

England, according to the Odessa

United States has not recently been
approached In this direction by

parties to the agreement so that it
has had no opportunity to indicate
whether or not 1t would lend its
moral support to an effort on the
part of England and Japan to pro-
tect their interests in Manchuria.
Advices received at the state de-
partment give an account of the
commercial museums which Mexico
is gradually establishing through
out the world. The project is to
illustrate in foreign countries the
many industries ard materials that
enter into Mexican trade, and to es-
taclish markets for what her people
have to sell. The scheme IS under
the charge of the department of
public works and is literally sup
ported by the Mexican congress.
The Mexican exposition liz Milan,
Italy, Is now Ia full operation, and
proving great success. The rext
to be installed is that of Liverpool,
where every raw product that Mex
leo has to export to Europe will be
shown. The governors of the vari-
Gus states of Mexico have been
called upon !, to furnish samples Of
the principle produc tions, including
woods, flores, coffees, sugars, &C.
reals, minerals, and similar articles
to be sent to Liverpool. 1t is likely
that the next museum to be set up
will be at some central point in the
United States.
