however. guarded his acceptance with
certain conditions which were placed
before his majesty In the form Of
written memorandum. Witte Is said
TO have informed the emperor that he
could accept the position only on con

with a working cabinet and not a mere

Not Counting on Railroads.

The state officers did not take into
account the amount which Is now due
from the railroads under the al

withheld by the railroads for two
years. This, with the interest upon
IT, will amount to $1,4O0,00O. The
state officers figures in making then
estimates that the railroads will pay
their taxes the same as other property
in the state If they do so. the state
will have plenty of money and will
have handsome balance in the treas
ury on January /. 1907. IT, in the
meantime, it collects the Sl.fOO. 600
due under the ad yalorem system ana
payment of which has been withheld

other sources there will at that time
he in the treasury a surplus Of nearly
$1,000 600. If the railroads had during
