INTRODUCE GENERAL TAX BILL.
Bill to Dlsfranchse the Negro and
Other Important Matter.

Other important Matter.
Atlanta, July 18.-The, general tax
bill for 1906 and 1877 was ihtSndl4sad
in the house Monday by Mr. Wise, of
Fayette, chairman of the ways and
means committee, and read the first
time.
1t will be taken up by the ways and
means committee at once, and reported
at an early date.
The bill as introduced by Chairman
Wise makes several changes in the
measure that was passed last year
One of the most important of these re-
lates to packing houses. The new bill
puts a specific tax upon all packing
houses and packing agencies, whether
they are Georgia companies or belong
to other states. The packing house
agencies have secured a supreme court
decision under which they can avoid
the specific tax, because the tax had
not been put on Georgia packing
houses. By taxing the Georgia con-
Germs as well as others, it is said the
tax can be collected from all Gf tEem.
Mr.. Russell, of Muscogee, introduced
q bill providing for a Georgia exhibit
at the jamestown, Va. exposition in
1907.
Mr. Rose of Upson introduced his
bill, the object of which is to disfran-
chise the negro.
This measure contains the well
known grandfather clause similar to
that adopted in Alabama and one or
two other states. The bill was referred
to the committee on constitutional
amendments.
The house passed by unanimous vote
the resolution by Mr.. Kelly, of Glas-
cock, making an appropriation Of
$27.580 to supply the deficite in the
pension fund for 1905.
The four hundredth bill was intro
duced in the house today by Mr. Lump
kin, Of Sumter. This breaks the record
for the eighteenth day of the session
by something like 40 or so bills.

But while this is the official at

it is stated in some quarters that it

of the financial exhaustion of japan.

Nicholas Not Yet Ready to
Consider Terms For
Peace.
NAVY ORDERED BACK.
Another Army Will 60 to the
Front and a New Gener-
al be Named.

st. Petersburg, Mar 13.-The
japanese have temporarily ceased
pursuit at Tie Pass.
The Russian army, demoralized
and exhausted, its rear guard con-
stantly attacked by the pursuing
and never resting japanese, is near
ing Tie Pass, but it begins to look as
if Kuropatkin will make no stand
there. He has lost many of his
guns, thousands of his rifles, tons of
his ammunition and supplies, and
perhaps 1901 of his men. He adj
mits AZ, 58l missing, but makes no
report of his, great number of
wounded. The Japanese have made
prisoners of 40, 900 of his men, and
report that 26,5OO others are dead
on the field. The Japanese loss is
$4,000, Oyama already officially re-
porting Al, 222. In the face of this
story of carnage, the Car announ-
ces that he will fight on. Kuropat-
kin is to be succeeded, a new and
larger army will be raised, and Ad-
miral Rojestvensky will be ordered
to proceed against Admiral Togo.
Russia's hope is to break Japan by
keeping at it until the money of the
Island kingdom gives out.
This is the present temper of EN-
peror Nicholas and his dominant adj
visers, voiced in firm official an
nouncement that the position of Rus
STA is unchanged and that the init
iative for peace can only come from
Japan. Should the island empire
choose to tender moderate" terms
and recognize it's adversary as the
Power in the Far East, peace could
be easily arranged, but the voice of
her diplomacy in various parts of
the world indicates that she is not
ready to do this, and the Russian
Government, with the full magni-
tude of the disaster at Mukden still
undetermined, but with the 1905
campaign seemingly already hope
lessly compromised, retreat to Har-
bin inevitable and Vladivostock
practically lost, declares that the
time has not yet come when Russia
can be forced to humble herself.

Kuropatkin Battles With
Foe twenty-five Miles
From Refuge.
WOUNDED LEFT BEHIND
Losses in Mukden Estimated
At 1874, 900 On Both
Sides.

The dispatches received at st.
Petersburg indicate that Gen. Ku-
has saved himself from the
trap set for him by Field Marshal
Oyama. According to these dis
patches he is falling back slowly
with the main portion Of his forces
intact, and fighting a rear guard ca
ton. On Saturday afternoon he
was twenty-five miles from Tie Pass.
A part of his forces have already
reached Tie Pass, but whether any
of theIunits of his army were cut off
or captured is not definitely known.
The press dispatches say that the
Japanese separated the First and
Fourth Russian corps and the infer
ence is that they either were killed
or captured, as the censor allowed
no further reference to their fate.
The losses have been enormous on
both sieds and are roughly estimated
at 100000. An unofficial report
from st. Petersburg says Kuropat-
kin has lost $4,000 prisoners. The
confidence of the Japanese is indi-
Gated in statement by Field Mar
seal Oyama that his forces will pur-

the north. Its location, however,
is not definitely known.

cATERPILLARs CAME HIGH.
sacLuSettE with Gypsy Moths
Latest Plan TO Fight Them.

A few years ago scientific person In
Massachusetts imported some caterpil-
lars that interested him, and kept them
in bottle. But one day the bottle tipped
over ara some of the caterpillars escaped
into the scientists garden, and press
emily stocked il with gypsy moths. To
catch them and their descendants the
Bay state has since spent about s., 000,-
900 of public money. They have cost il
many millions dollars besides in dam
ages. The old method of fighting them
was to find and destroy the cocoons. The
state finally gave that up, much to the
regret OF many OF its citizens. The bugs
have since increased very much, and
carried destruction into the woods. 1t
is now proposed to fight these pests in
he latest fashion. by breeding parasites
which will attack them. That method
is recommended by Mr.. Koebele. of Ala
media, Cal, who tried II successfully in
that state for white scale. The Massa-
chusetts Forestry association favors the
experiment, which will not cost much,
and Mr.. Koebele will doubtless be in
vited to bring his parasites to Massa-
chusetts and sick them on. The whole
country Is concerned in this experiment,
because a Massachusetts, congressman
has invited congress to declare the gypsy
moth a national enemy and to appro-
pirate s250.OOO to fight him. The parasite
cure is a modern wonder and has been
effective In cases Of great moment. Mr..
Koebele says it will not wipe out the
gypsy moths, but will keep them down.
The boil weevil may presently be re-
strained by the same methods.

SHAWL IN FOUR GOWNS.
Fabric from Japan Woven Into We'd,
ding Dresses of Quartette OF
Indiana Brides,

Japan once furnished a single silk
wrap that figured In no less than four
wedding gowns, all of which have been
preserved. The garment was a costly
crepe shawl that was sent to the family
Of S. B. Hynes, of Chicago and became
the property OF Mrs. Hynes. 1t was sent,
lnclosed in beautiful case, by friend
Of the family, the duty being SOS.
In the Hynes family were four daugh-
tiers who were becoming of marriageabl
age, and each wanted the Japanese
shawl. Finally Mrs. Hynes, to settle the
matter, cut the garment into four parts,
giving one to each of her daughters.
Each piece was deftly worked into the
wedding gown of the bride to be, as the
marriages took place several years apart.
The delicate fabric was draped over the
'front.' part of the gowns, the crepe being
solidly embroidered, alike on each side,
with heavy fringe. The youngest of
the four daughters was married last fall,
1t Laporte, Ind, and the other sisters
having preserved their wedding dresses,
the four were photographed, each cos
tune showing the style of the day in
which 1t was made. The daughters are
now the wives of Frank Pitner, Laporte,

GUARDS TO PROTECT POPE.
Vatican Authorities Fear That Ow Ing
to Democratic Habits of His Hol-
mess He VIII lie Attacked.

The recent arrest of q crank seek
ing audience with the pope has caused
the greatest precautions TO be adopted
to insure the safety OF Piux X. What
renders the matter more difficult is the
pope's habit Of promenading unaccom-
panied in halls to which every one can
gain access BY paying the price of ad-
mission.
Cardinal del Val has tried vainly to
have bodyguard accompany the pope
wherever he goes. Sentinels have been
placed in all the passages with orders
to prevent any person from approach
ing his holiness during his promenades
and instructions to keep concealed as
much as possible while the pope Is
passing,
Armed guards have been posted all
over the large gardens, and have been
ordered to arrest any stranger found
in the papal domain without a written
authorization. The Italian government
which considers itself responsible be-
fore the world for the pope's safety,
keeps gendarmes and policemen patrol
ling the streets around the walls of
the vatican gardens day and night.
Whenever ceremony takes place in
st. Peters at which the pope Is to be
present, admission is only by ticket,
and a large number of detectives
dressed as monks, priests and nuns
keep watch among the assembled
thousands.
