TAX RATE FAILING, CIRCUIT SAYS.
Expects II 10 Get Down to sl.%S This
Year, Maybe Lower.

Comptroller Circuit says that the passage
Of his bill diverting the ss,oOooco surplus
revenues Of the Sinking Fund to the Gen.
eral Fund will tend TO reduce the tar rate
for the present year materially. 1t has al
ready been fguEvd out by the Tax Com
missioners that the new system Of assessing
real estate at its full value will bring down
the rate in Manhattan and The Bronx
from 81 Is to about 81 90. and make a CORE
spending reduction In the other boroughs.
Hut by transferring the sSinking Fund
surplus Comptroller Grout~say that this
will be lowered to at least 1l.4s, and II IL
possible that the tax will fall even below
this figure.
Tho Tax Commissioners assert that
there have been comparatively few OBJ
jections to their new assessments by prop
erty owners, and that the revenues from
the personal property assessments viii
yield far larger return than IN previous
years. Consequently there 10 every prob
ability that the levy viii be less than that
already forecast.

UnreservedIy for the Administration

The two great purposes of the special
session of the Senate are set forth IN Mr..
RoosEvELT's message with a brief and
dignified yet sufficiently emphatic indi-
cation of their importance:
First, the ratification OF the Colombian
treaty, the canal treaty, for the sake OF
the nations commercial, political and
military interests for hundreds Of years
to come
Secondly, the ratification Of the Cuban
treaty, for the sake not only OF this ma
tion's material advantage, but also OF its
honorable record in the pages of history
for all time to come.
+, The duty of the Senate is plain in each
case. The appeal of the President rep
resents the nations highest interests,
both as to welfare and good fame.
As regards these two measures, every
Senator, Republican or Democrat, can
afford TO be an Administration man Tor
this session and throughout this session.

Tho Alphabet Decides the question In
Favor Of Mr.. Alice.
WARRINGTON, March o.-President Pro
Tenn. Frye has decided that Mr.. Alice Is
senior Senator from Delaware. In de-
fining his position Mr.. Frye said that 1t
was customary when two Senators were
elected together to determine their term
assignments by lot, where there were no
vacancies to be filed. as in the case where
two Senators came from a State just ad-
mitted. But where there were two terms
TO be filled of unequal length and both were
elected on the same day and the certificate
Of the Governor did not state which was
first elected. IL had to be determined alpha
betically which should have the honor Of
being senior Senator. An inspection OF
the Governors certificate also shows that
Mr.. Allees name was first mentioned
which further backs up the position taken
by the presiding oficer

OYSTER BAY, N. Y. Sept. 1G-Am-
baAador Storer while visiting the pres
ident at Sycamore Hill said he regard
cd the danger of wal between Bulgaria
and Turkey as imminent. Bulgaria, he
thought, had nearly reached the limit
of endurance, and unless the powers Of
central Europe interviewed to prevent
further outfages On the part of the
Turkish troops war scarcely could be
avoided. In the opinion of MIR. Storer
the hope of peace now must be based In
the conference which is to be held the
latter part of this month between the
car of Russia and Emperor Francis
Joseph of Austria Hungary. He did
not believe actual war would be pre-
cipitated before that conference, al
though the strain on Bulgaria is very
great. He expressed the hope that the
car and Emperor Francis Joseph
might reach some solution Of the pres
emit difficulty that would avert a disas-
trous conflict which, NICE begun. might
Involve seriously other European pow
ers.
Ambassador StOreR discussed the sit
uation with President Roosevelt and
now is hurrying TO Europe in order that
he may be In Vienna at the time of the
conference between the heads of the
two great powers of central Europe.

question from the Canadian standpoint
was access to the Pacific.
Sir Robert gave a historical review of
the dispute, beginning with 1928. When
he started to read official documents
bearing on the dispute Lord Chief JUS
tice Alverstone, the chairman, said the
members of the commission were per-
