TO PUSH MORTGAGE TAX.

N.,.Sw Opposition to the Measure, s-~ Governor Odell Ts Obdurate.
 .I4BANY, N. Y, April lit Is under oood definitely that, despite the oppo- lEion of the New York Republican county organization, voiced at the hear ing on the mortgage wax bill, and the demand that the bil be absolutely Abandoned, Governor ndell has decided to push the measure to final passage as 1t stands and compel those of the Re- publican party bound by caucus to vote for 1t.
 Of the 12o savings banks in New York state fully 100 were represented st the hearing given in the afternoon in the senate chamber. The savings bank men were headed by Hon. Charles A. Schieren of Brooklyn, pres ldent of the state association, and were called on to rise in the presence of the joint legislative committee and thus in dicate their opposition to the measure. Subsequent to the meeting they called on Governor Odell and expressed to him their opposition to the measure.
 Most significant of the appearances was that of Robert c. Morris, chair man of the Republican organization of New York county, who filed with the committee a letter from the organiza- tion containing resolutions against the mortgage tax bill and demanding its abandonment.
 M Hon. Charles A. Schieren, for the
 pkers, said if the mortgage tax bill
 re enacted the savings banks would
 obliged to reduce the rate of interest D per cent. The savings banks held nortgages amounting to $500, 0,000, 900 on which the state would collect $2, 000, 900 taxes. The savings banks were already paying taxes amounting IL ! $75O.000 annually on their surplus.
 William Barlow Dunlop, represent Ag the Amsterdam Savings bank and
 ormer Republican member of the as
 Ably, made an extended argumen
 nst the bill Concluding, he said:
 ke sentiment throughout the state
 bt the Republican state admins
 t4bn Is very strong. As Republican VI deplore 1t, but admit the fact. If thi' bill passes, the state will go over Whelmingly Democratic"

More DisquietfnE News Received I'm
 Vienna.
 VIENNA, April 1.-The news from the Balkans is causing uneasiness in official circles here. The situation is considered to be graver than few weeks ago. Two particularly signif1- cant reports have just been received, the first that the czar has presented to the Prince of Montenegro eight batter ies of quick firing, small caliber guns, with ammunition, and the second that Russia has addressed another warning message to Bulgaria.
 In his autograph letter to the Prince of Montenegro the czar writes that the gift is intended as proof of Russia's s friendship for Montenegro, In whose independence all the Slav peoples are deeply interested.
 The czar's gift recalls his recent pres ent to Servia of .5o,OOO,0o0 cartridges.
 With regard to Russia's message to Bulgaria, it is said to have been in- spired by the unfavorable reports re- ceived from the Russian consuls In Macedonia regarding the attitude of the Christian population toward tho
 
 Turks and is taken as an explanation of the recall of the Daneff ministry. Crum Xn Charleston Custom House. CHARLESTON, s. C., April 1.--W. D.

south Carolina Growers DiscOur-
nGed by the Trust.

Columbia. S. c., July 29.-Tobacco
growers of the Pee Dee section are
completely paralyged at the low price
their product is bringing this season,
and attribute their misfortune to the
tobacco trust. One farmer at Dillon,
in the heart of the tobacco country,
sold a lot of tobacco yesterday for
$27 which actually cost him $50, allow
ing nothing for land rent, fertilizers,
labor, etc.
The high prices of last season in
duced many inexperienced farmers to
put in a barn or two; others increased
their acreage; a few, very few, dis
creetIy let it severely alone, when they
saw the market would practically be
under control of the American Tobacco
Company this season. Many farmers
have become discouraged with tobacco
growing and will return to the old
stand by'-cotton-which snaps its
finger at trusts and combines.
