WAR CLOUDS DARKEN
Latest Advices Indicate That Japan
and Russia viii Fight.

Toxic. Special.-A specially called
conference Of the cabinet, elder states
men and military and naval chiefs was
held today at the residence of Premier
Katsura. The meeting is believed to
have been of much Importance,
though no details of the discussion
have been given the public. Possibly
it foreshadows energetic action on &C.
count Of Russian procrastination.
Although the governments continue
reticient, it is manifest that the stu
alton is Of the gravest and that the
crisis is near at hand. The time in
which the Russian reply will continue
to be a factor in the situation is mar
rowing.
The patience of the government IS
becoming exhausted and the expected
answer is delayed many days longer
the issuance of an ultimatum by Ja-
pan will become inevitable.
The Japanese feel that the exist
ing conditions have entitled them to a
more prompt reply and are bound to
infer that the St. Petersburg govern
ment is determined not to yield, but
is utilizing the time to advance its
preparations for war.

cises in the House. The bill has been
sent back from the House with con

concurrence with the House amend
ment. and debate of some fervor en-
sued, the idea being entertained by
some of the Senators that citizens
might not be able to have just the
same treatment when tried in United
States courts, for crimes and misde-
meanors committed on this territory.
that they would receive in the courts
of the State.
Senator Brice wished the bill to be
retained in its original form, and read
extracts from a Washington CORE
spondent to a South Carolina paper
saving that the government would
make no more appropriations for
buildings on land not governed eX-
clusively by it. Senator Brice argued
that our representatives in Congress

TO TAN CERTAIN ROLLING
STOCK

The bill to provide additional
measures and remedies for the collec-
ton on past due and unpaid taxes
upon certain property which has es-
capped taxation" is in the line of the
policy of the secretary of State acting
as agent for the sinking fund COM
mission. The title is little mislead-
ing. for it does not apply to all classes
of property, but to the rolling stock of
shippers of meals, oils. cattle etc, who
use their own rolling stock. 1t is
claimed that such cars have escap-
ed taxation, whereas Pullman cars
nave been taxed just as railroad prop
erty.
The bill contains the following def
milton: -.
That. the cars rolling stock, struc-
lures. works and appliances, of any
nature or character whatsoever, pro-
vided the same be used in, about,
upon or in connection with any rail-
read. shall! be deemed railroad proper
ty, and shall be liable to assessment
as railroad property for any years
that the said cars, rolling stock, struc-
lures or works shall have escaped
taxation from any cause"
The secretary of State is authorized
to collect past due taxes on such con-
Germs and to proceed TO collect this
fax levy every year By notifying the
companies 10 submit statement of
their business within the State. In
case Of refusal to comply, the secretary
of State is authorized to fix yalua.

Any person violating the law by
selling grades inferior to the one mark

1t was proposed to insert instead Of
section 10 the following:
"All sales, or contracts for sale Of
fertilizers, fertilizing material and cot
ton seed meal, in violation Of this ar
ticle shall be void; no title shall pass
by such sale and no person buying
such fertilizers. fertilizing material or
cotton seed meal shall be bound in any
manner to pay the price cost thereof y
This provoked quite discussion.
1t is also proposed to add new
section saying that the State may
maintain an action in the courts
against violators OF the law, as TO
grades, regardless of their residences.
the action to be sustained by liens
upon the fertilizers or meal. If the ac-
ton is carried out and the goods sold
under execution their grade shall be
examined by the Clemson college
chemist so that purchaser from the
sheriff may know what he is buying.
Some amendments not yet acted upon
are:
Senator Mayfeld: That in case. OF an
action. any seller may be taken as ar
agent of the company for the purpose
of serving papers.
