Cured.

CURED.
London, Nov Count Bencken-
dorff, the Russian ambassador, was
received in audience today by King
Edward.
The ambassador had most cordial
interview with the king, who, it is
understood, expressed for transmission
| to st. Petersburg, his satisfaction at
the present method OF settling the
dispute
Up to the time he saw the king,
| Count Benckendorff had received no
| notification that detachment of Off
| GERS from the Russian squadron at vi
go would attend the sessions of the
international commission nor had he
heard of the SAILING of the squadron
| from Vigo. The ambassador hoped,
| however, to receive without delay in
formation concerning the officers de-
tached.
The ambassador informed The AS
sociated Press that the departure of
the squadron would naturally follow
the detachment of these officers in
accordance with the understanding
reached between himself and Foreign
Secretary Lansdowne last week.
Nothing definite has yet been decid-
ed regarding the details of the inter
national committee.
Another cabinet meeting has been
summoned for Wednesday to consider
the Anglo-Russian convention con-
corning the inquiry into the North sea
incident. Count Benckendorff had
long conference at the foreign Office
last night with Premier Balfour. Lord
Selbourne, first lord Of the admiralty
as we'll as foreign Secretary Lansdone
were present.
1t is stated that the draft OF the
proposed convention relative to the
scope, composition and venue of the
international commission was drawn
up. AS this must be submitted to st.
Petersburg for acceptance or revision,
1t will necessarily entail delay. The
lack of information vouched officially
to the British press regarding the
causes of the delays leads to all kinds
of scare suggestion of the bad faith
on the part of Russia and tends to
spread rumors for which 1t is difficult
to find adequate reason
The government has received a no
tification from the British consul at
Vigo that the Russian squadron had
sailed today and some irritation was
felt at the fact that the Russian gov
ernment had failed to previously no.
tify the government regarding the de-
tachment of officers. Ambassador
Benckendorf is hourly expecting Off
cial advices and while the foreign of
flee obviously is annoyed at not know
ing officially that Russia had carried
out her part of the bargain no serious
consequences are anticipated. 1t was
officially stated to the Associated Press
that with the exception Of the forego-
ing mission to notify the government,
no hitch has occurred.

of the city of Montgomery had been ex. empt under the city charter from paying County licenses and the imposition or the 50 per cent addition to their taxes nas caused no little complaint among the tax payers.
 The petition is as follows:
 'To the Honorable Board of Revenue, ol - Montgomery County:
 "Gentlemen-We, the undersigned peu- tioners, represent to your honorable body that we consider the amount of license tax assessed against us by the County 70 be exorbitant and a greater burden than we can bear.
 "we respectfully represent to your hon O. able body that the city is already pay ing over g7 1-3 per cent of the revenue ot the County, and that very little of said revenue is expended for the benefit of the city. We also think that the County Is in very good condition financially and that we should not have so great a bur den put upon us. Taking all things into consideration, we thing that you would be doing a simple act of justice to refund to us the amount paid.
 By so doing you will confer a great favor and benefit on a goodiy portion of your citizens who already are heavily taxed" The matter was taken under considera- tion by the Board. County Bridge Builder J. w. Philer was ordered to do repair work on the Carney Creek bridge on the Jackson Ferry road. Massey Wilson appeared before the Board to inform them that arrangements for the opening up of Madison Avenue had been completed. As soon as the County was ready to proceed the city and those interested in the matter would be. No action was taken by the Board.

OFFICIALS OF LOWNDES
EXAMINER FILES A REPORT
 WITH GOVERNOR.
Judge Wilkinson Found Few Errors and Shows That Assessments Are Higher Than Those
 of Other Counties.

The books of the officials of Lowndes county were the subject of reports filed by Judge w. r. Wilkinson, assistant ex- aminer of public accounts and made pub lie yesterday at the State Educative De- pertinent.
 The Lowndes county officials made al- together a creditabie showing. There were no shortages and only two or three errors in the full set of Lowndes books.
 The land in Lowndes county appears to be assessed little higher than that of the average county of Alabama. Judge Wilkinson etates. from the best informa- ton obtainabie. the lands in that county are assessed at about 65 or 70 per cent. of their value, which is a little higher than the average percentage reported by the examiners.
 The books of George E. Gordon. sup erintendent of education. were reported to be correct and free from errors.
 The books of Probate Judge J. c. Wood were found to be well kept and in good condition. The collection of one corpor- ation fee had. however. been overlooked. but the error was one that could and would be corrected.
 The examiner reported that all whis- key dealers in the county had paid the additional $50 due under the new revenue code.
 With the exception of one error, the books of W. H. Lee, tax assessor, were reported to be neatly and correctly kept In compiling his totals of assessment. the assessor made 8 mistake in his ad- dition. The same error was made by the probate judge. and it appeared in the abstract sent the auditors office The error makes the real estate valuation S1.- 200 more than the books showed
 There were no errors in the books of Sheriff J. c. Dickson. All his accounts were found to be correct.
 The costs and removal bills of Circuit Clerk 4. Douglas were found correct and there was no criticism of his office.
 A similar complimentary report was made upon the books of Tax Collector H. M. Caffey.
