APPROPRIATION BILLS
ONLY IN THE HOUSE

WASHINGTON, Feb. 2.-The House has
the House naval bill under debate and at
the proper time it is probable that rule
will be brought in making the item in the
bill providing for a training station on the
great lakes in order. 1t Is expected that a
contest will ensue over the location of the
station. Notice has been given by Mr..
Hitchcock, of Nebraska, that he will pro-
pose an amendment to the naval bill pro-
viding for the construction of a government
armor plate factory. The Indian and the
district appropriation bills will follow the
naval bill and there is some expectation
that all Of them will be passed by the House
this week.
At the first lull during the week the bill
providing for a committee to investigate
and report on the shipping industry may be
called up under rule limiting debate to a
few hours.
Following the Indian and district bills Will
come the postoffice appropriation BILL but II
may not be ready for consideration before
next week. If the appropriation bills are
all out of the way by Friday the private
claims for pensions may have a show.
Mr. Williams, the minority leader, served
notice yesterday that he would endeavOr to
secure the reading tomorrow of Washing
tons farewell address and then have an
immediate adjournment.

ATTITUDE OF BULGARIA
TOWARD TURKEY DEFINED
Sofia Government is Anxious for
Peace, but Regards Turkish
Acts as a Menace.
SYMPATHY WITH RUSSIA

PARIS. Feb. 2.-M. Zoltovitz. the Bull
garian agent in Paris, made the following
statement to-day:
II can give the most formal assurances
that Bulgaria has more than ever resolved
to 90 nothing to compromise the peace. 1t
is with great satisfaction that we have
seen the powers elaborate a plan for re-
forms in Macedonia and we wish, without
any reservation, the reforms realized.
Above all, at this moment when the pow
ers are following with anxiety the events
in the far East, Bulgaria will avoid doing
anything that would cause the belief that
she proposes to profit by the crisis. The
Bulgarian people have unanimously ex-
pressed warm sympathy for Russia.
1T is unfortunate that Turkey persists
in her regrettable hostility. Besides the
annoying police measures she has taken
against our people. our commerce suffers
concentration of Turkish troops along our
frontier and the mobilization of troops at
strategic points is menacing us"
NJ. Zoltovitch said there is a war party
in ConstantinOple which has a prepOnderat-
ing influence. and quoted from consular
military instruction if war with Bulgaria
is not declared I'm the light of these
facts" NJ. ZoltOvitz concluded, lit is nat
ural that Bulgaria, too, should be prepar-
ing"
1t is understood the powers are consider
ing simultaneous representations TO Con-
stantinOplc and Sofia TO compel a limitation
10 armament.
The Turkish embassy is authorized TO
state categorically that the Ottoman gov
eminent has not given any orders for the
mobilization of troops.

MEXICO CITY, Feb. 21.-The sugar trust

sugar product successfully and finds itself
with liabilities of $4,000 and with assets.
taken on a liberal estimate, of %,770,OO0.
These assets include the stock of sugar on
hand The supply of sugar in this country
is already far in excess of the demand and
the new crop is coming to the market. These
facts give rise 10 the fear that the assets
are not what might be hoped.
il has been feared that the trust would
smash, but three very wealthy members of
the combine have come forward as personal
guarantors of the liabilities The courts will
not be called on to wind up the trust which
owes banks nearly 100000 One of the
causes of the failure of this concern 10 con-

keep prices up in this country and TO regu-

It is authoritativey stated thatfhe ques-
ton of the annexation of SantO Domingo to
the United States never has received the
slightest consideration the part of the
administration. and, moreover, the admin
istration is unable to take a position or
adopt policy, other than the protection of
American interests in Santo Domingo, be-
cause of the absence OF satisfactory infor-
nation as to conditions there.

semi-official communication has emanated
from the government, which in substance is
as follows:

against the liberty of the republic and a
disgrace to the national dignity. The New

COMMENT AND CRITICISM.
Appropriations In Jeopardy.

Many of the appropriation bills now
pending in the legislature are in jeop-
ardy by the reason OF the existing
doubt as to whether bond issue will
be authorized A large number Of
members are very reluctant on voting
for appropriation bills while short
age is confronting the treasury, and It
is not yet known whether the house
committee on ways and means will
report in favor of an issue of bonds
of from 100000 to s1.000,000, the is
sue to be made by the governor in
case he should fad it necessary to do
so. Ii this feeling of uncertainty con-
tinues much longer IL is almost certain
that many of the appropriation bills,
especially for State schools and col
leges. will be cut down.
The senate finance committee has
already adopted a policy of retrench.
ment, the first notable example being
the uafavorable report made on the
bill appropriating 100000 to erect
monuments to the mississippi troops
who participated in the siege of Vicl1s-
burg. There was no opposition what
ever TO the sentiments of this meas.
ure, but a majority of the members
feel that the State could not afford to
make the expenditure at the present
time.

MISSISSIPPI LEGISLATURE

was the adoption of the section assess.
ing tax of $500 per annum on bucket
shops, which went through after a
spirited debate. many members hold
ing that the imposing of this license Is
practically a license to gambling. The
idea of the majority. however. was
that the bill would force the bucket.
shops out of existence
Despite the fact that the measure
was debated all day, the senate failed
to cut down the common school fund
appropriation bill giving s1.250.000 per
annum for this purpose. which, with
the poll taxes retained in the coun.
ties, will make the allowance for the
schools over s1.600,000 per year.
Only seven members voted in oppo-
sition to the measure-Messrs. Dent,
Dunn, Elmore, Farley, Gordon, Moung-
er and Sanders. Several Others were
in favor of an appropriation of only
81 900 900, but when this amendment
was voted down, they toed the scratch
and registered their votes in favor of
the measure.
The bill now goes to the governor,
and 1t is known that he will give 1t his
signature. This is the largest appro-
prlatiol Mississippi has ever made for
her common schools.
The house convened at 10 o'clock.
