one State finds it thus profitable other
States may follow, and the whole body
of internal revenue tax be thus
stricken down.
More than this there is large and
growing movement in the country In
favor of the acquisition and manage
ment by the public of what are termed
utilities, including not merely those in
the supply of gas and water, but also
the entire railroad system. Would the
State by taking into possession these
public utilities lose its republican form
of government?
1--WE may go even step further.
There are some insisting that the
State shall become the owner of all
property and the manager of all bust
ness. OF course, this is an extreme
view, but it's advocates are earnestly
contending that thereby the best inter
ests of all citizens will be subserved.
If this change should be made in any
State. how much wound that State con-
tribute to the revenue of the nation?
If this extreme action is not to be
counted among the probabilities con-
slider the result of one much less So.
Suppose a State assumes under it's po-
lice power the control of all those
matters subject to the internal reve-
nue. tax and also engages in the BUSH
ness of importing all foreign goods.
The same argument. which would ex-
empt the sale by State of liuqor, to-
bacco, ETC., from a license tax would
exempt the Importation of merchan-
disc by a State from import duty.
While the State might not prohibit
importations. as it can, the sale of IL
quor, by private individuals, yet pay
ing no import duty it could undersell
all individuals and so monopoliZe the
importation and sale of foreign goods.
obviously. if the power of the
State is carried to the extent suggest
ed and at the same time relieved
from all Federal taxation, the national
government would be largely crippled
in it's revenues. Indeed, if all the
States should concur in exercising
their powers to the full extent it
would be almost impossible for the
nation to collect any revenues. In
other words in this indirect way it
would be within the competency of
the States to practically destroy the
efficiency of the national government"
Justices White. Peckham and Nc
Kenna disSented.

(By the Associated Press.)

ST Petersburg, via Eydtkhunen,
East Russia, Dec. At is reported
from Constadt that a German squad
ron has been sighted in the Baltic
Sea, near the Russian coast. Rumor
attributes the appearance of the
squadron as preparatory to the fight
of the Russian imperial family.
st. Petersburg, Sunday, Dec 3.-9
D. m.-via Eydtkuhnen. East Russia,
Dec. 4.-The city remains quiet, but
extreme tension prevails. Armed pa
trolls of cavalry and infantry are in
the streets. especially in the neigh
borhood of the telegraph office. The
telegraph and postal tie up remains
complete. Soldiers and employers of
the other departments are being used
to deliver portions of the vast accumu-
lation of mail.
The telegraph operators met yee-
terday's threat to discharge them To-
day unless they returned to work by
resolving to prosecute the strike unit
their demands are satisfied. The az
thorities profess confidence that the
strike will be broken in a few days
but the basis of their optimism is not
stated. The immolation of interior
Minister Durnovo seems to offer way
of retreat for the government. This
involves another surrender before the
victorious proletariat.
Count White is now convinced that
the Emperor, by acceding to the de-
mand for universal suffrage may still
find a common ground on which the
government and the modeerates ami
the extreme elements can stand. If
this fails to stay the headlong march
of events the proclamation of a READY
made constitution might be tried as
the last card. Then nothing would
remain except the proclamation of d
dictatorship.
Competent judges of the situation
believe that a dictatorship, while it
might restrain the rising flood tom
porarily, would only increase the di-
mension of the cataclysm and when
the dam goes sweep the government
and dynasty away to common ruin.

WILD DAY AT NEW ORLEANS
Anger Follows Counting the Crop I'm
Gross Weight End Over Delay in
Issuing Report.
Rv the Associated Press.

New Orleans, Dec 1.-The day on
the cotton exchange was easily the
Widest in it's history. The bureau of
statistics of the Department of Agr1-
culture made it's annual estimate of
the cotton crop. issuing figures of
1O,167S18 bales of 500 pounds gross
weight
This was extremely buliish but it's
effect was partly lost in the indigna-
ton felt and expressed by the trade
generally first over the counting of
the crop in five hundred pound bales
gross weight instead of net weight as
has always been the case in previous
estimates, and secondly over the delay
i'm issuing the report which was cshed-
uled to come out at IL o'clock, New
Orleans time, but which was not re-
ceived until 1885 p. m.
Immediately on the reading of the
figures, March. the most active DO
sition, shot up ZAP points. slightly
more than 81 Il bale. This was an UNI
precedented advance. Just before the
estimate was read March sold at
1883, the first sale following the es-
innate was at 13 cents and the next
was at 1880. The ring was crowded
twenty deep with brokers who fran
tically fought I'd fill their buying or
ders.
Much figuring was done after the
estimate had been made known and
it was shown that if the estimate had
been made i'm thesame form as 1t was
made last year. that Is. i'm bales al
5000 pounds net weight. the estima.e
today would have been read 8. $685.
427 as full five per cent of the
amount estimated today lis bagging
and ties and five per cent of the fig
ures returned is equivalent to 5OS,391
bales.

In the application for a receiver for

the defendant company was declared

controlling influence and assumed
large obligations. one of these being

t exceeds $6,000,000. The defend
ant was declared to have no property
to present as security; to have no
credit; to be unable to secure funds
while a number of suits by creditors
were sure to be started within short
time.
Attorney S. Stevens at once present

which insolvency was admitted as
was a deficit of more than $6,000,000
with various suits threatened.
An ancilliary application was then
made by Mr.. Maxwell on behalf of

of $404.S30 on Pere Marquette bonds
for which that company has no de-
post or pledge or mortgage. There
are outstanding obligations of more
than $4,000,000. The funded debt of
