The London bill did not come up &C

HoUsE.-The House passed the in
heritance tax bill which imposes tax
on legacies of personal property.
There was lively discussion con-
corning exempting county fairs from
taxation. The midways and other i'm
moral features Of fairs were denounced
and declared unworthy OF any exemp-
ton from taxation.
Quite discussion arose over Mr..
Robereon's proposed amendment to ex-
cept county fairs as educational insti-
buttons. Mr.. Blount declared that the
kind of information disseminated by
the mid-ways at county fairs was any,
thing but conducive to the moral bet
terment of the community. He was
borne out by Mr.. Ga tits, who proposed
to amend Mr.. Roberson's amendment
by adding that no county far should
be exempted whose directors permitted
any games Of chance, "hoochee-koo-
chez" dances, snake eat or other i'm
moral exhibitions. Not one cent Of
the peoples money, he declared, should
go to any such fair. His remarks were
literally applauded.

Certain French papersh have lately been
de7oting much space in the effort ia
prove that Gibraltar is no longer the
key to the Mediterranean and that
modern steam-driven ships have de.
stroyed its usefulness t O England as a
fortress. On this account they are
warning Europe to watch closely the
designs Of perflde Albion on the oppo-
site Moroccan coast. In reply to this
English papers are pointing out that
Gibraltar has never been the key ia
the Mediterranean ave in the sense OF
a point d'appui for the British navy and
particularly the Mediterranean fleet.
While 1t is true hat modern guns might
carry across the strait the chances OF
hitting a warship in motion are all but
nothing. It Is no longer regarded as
anything more than a supply station TO,
the navy, but as such 1t Is as important
as ever. England could not hope ia
command the strait, even If she had
fortresses on h other side, without the
help of the nav There are thirteen
miles Of water at the narrowest point
and no land guns could prevent a fleet
from passing through.
