Birmingham Ledger.


 The constitution provides that no extra session of the Legislature shall sit more than thirty days That sounds well. but suppose this extra session shall sit one day q week ana hold committee meetings each day and charge full time for seven days. That would make a session of twenty weeks and cost the State more than It's reru- lar sessions. which have been the most costly the State has ever known.
 There is considerable apprehension as to what this Legislature will be re- Quired to do, as well as how long fk may be required to sit It can stay in session for months. if 1t stretches out the time by only meeting in regular session occasionally and calling all the intervening days necessary Committees days. That is one reason that the sxafo feels apprehensive. A man on a farm fin Houston County does not feel ap- prehenslve. nor does the farmer in Lauderdale. or Jackson, but the mon who have to do business do feel ap- prehensive when the Legislature ia in session.
 That is the dark side of 1t. The light side will no doubt be presented in the Governors message to the Leg fslature outlining the work 1t Ia to do.
 There is no question but that those stant agitation do not want any seu- sion of the Legislature. They want peace and quiet and relief for season at least from politics and agitation. If we must have 1t. let's beg the members to insist on voting on the Governors plans and then close the session ae speedily as possible.

Berlin, Oct. 12.--The British uapers which have been commenting on the visit of Secretary Taft to Tokio do moi believe that the cordial reception given nm should De taken as guarantee of Japan having only friendly feelin xs towards the United States.
 Several papers bring out the fact That only short time before the outbreak of the Russo-J apanese war. the Russian Minister of War, General Kuropatkin, also visited Tokio and was received with open arms by the Mika- do and General Teraouchi. who is sttll at the head of the Japanese War De- partment.t Nevertheless the war bo. tween the two countries broke out a few months later.
 It is the general opinion here that Japan will continue to strengthen her army and fnavy as she is doinx now. that she will remain quiet and even make . great display of good will to- wards the United States as long as the great American fleet is in the Pa cific, but when 1t shall have returned, she will swoop down upon the Ha- wafia and the Philippines without any previous declaration of war, re- beating her tactics at Port Arthur.

 The tenants will be young men. and the idea is to guarantee that they will settle on the land; not work 1t for q time and then leave 1t. A young man with a wife and home to look after is far mora likely to settle down than a single one.
 Up to date four single men have been granted leases. One of these two brothers have q holding on . joint ten- ancy. and in their case the matrimonial clause of the lease will be considered as carried if one of them marries with in the specified period.

 Young Duke to Take Seat.
 The youngest British Duke will take his seat in the House of Lords on coming of age <pext year. This fs the Duke of Leinsrer, who has held the title since he was q child of 6.
 The young peer, although he holds the proud position of premier. duke. marquis and earl of Ireland. sits in the House of Lords as vtscount. be- ing one of the representative Irish peers. The only other Irish duke. his Grace of Abercorn, is Marquis of Ab- ercorn in the House of Lords.
 The Duke of Leinster had passed through very delicate boyhood, and at one time it was feared that he would never live to celebrate his majority. His mother, who died in 1895. was one of the beautiful daughters of the Earl of Feversham, a sister to Lady sUlrica, Lady Cynthia Graham, and Lady Helen Vincent.
 cxnr to visft England.
 King Edward, who is determined to entertain in London every European sovereign. except perhaps Peter of Ser via, had at last prevailed on the Czar to make . public visit to England. It is believed that the Emperor Nicholas will come to London in the course of next season probably during June. 1908.
 For some time the King has been trying to make arrangements for meet ing the Russian monarch at time and place that would be suitable to both. For various reasons he could visit St, Petersburg. SO he suggested to the Czar that they should meet some where in the Mediterranean during the Kings spring yachting cruise.
 The Cxar found this impossible. and 1t was then proposed that the meeting should be at Queen Alexandra's new villa in Denmark. an arrangement which King Edward could not fit in with his plans for his continental trip in the spring. .N
 ,/ Finally the Czar promised that if the State of Russia permits he will come to London during next season. The Im- perial visit, will be the chief feature of next season, as it will be State visit, and the Car win bf accompanied by the Czarine and perhaps their two elder girls.

Calf Between the Two.

The parliamentary annals of the last half century themselves furnish abun- dant evidence of the rapidly deepening gulf that is fixing itself between the English church and the English nation What is 1t nowf With each successive widening of the franchuse. and here is a spectacle calculated to make all true churchmen seriously reflect, Parliament has become less of a church Senate and more of . Nonconformity assembly. ' This vast repression Of the church unheavel of Nonconformity is no mere question of parliamentary tactics and rnajorities. It reaches down to the very root of the national life.

 At the oity offices of the Navarino was yesterday shown some relics already recovered from the fleet. Pieces of oak. ebonied by age and the action of the sea-water, showed the solid material on which the sailors fought, and copper bolts and sheatings of great weight and thickness gave promise of what is yet oNcome. On all the Turkish, and on many of the Egyptian vessels were bronze can mons worth from t500 to $1,500 . piece. According to Admiral Codrfngton's dis patches, there were 1,700 guns in all upon the sunken vessels.
 Nothing has been done in the past to recover this treasure because of the heavy royalties previously required by the Greek Government, and the very primitive appliances available. These obstacles have now been removed.
 Our concession is for ten years. A royalty of ten per cent, is all that is to be paid to the Greek Government upon all timber, iron, copper, etc, while thirty-five per cent, will be paid upon specie, precious metals. and ob- 'jects of art The balance of ninety per cent and sixty-five per cent so to the company.

OLD PIOCHE REAwAKENING
Soon to Be Connected By Rail With
the Outside World

Phoebe, Lincoln County, is going to
have a railroad day on November II.
The track of the San Pedro Railroad is
within three miles of the old town. In
the long ago Phoebe was one of the most
remarkable mining points in Nevada.
1t was 250 miles from anywhere, hedged
about with sandy deserts and lofty
mountains. But nevertheless it had
fine machinery. great mills, and in ten
years gave to the treasures of the world
S25, 900, 900.
@. O. Goodwin in the Salt Lake Tele-
gram says: They were strenuous race
that lived in Phoebe in those days.
Some strong men handled the mines
down to 1900 feet deep. Then silver
lost its value: the ores became rebel
lious; the paralysis that struck all the
mining districts in the West settled
upon Phoebe, and for 20 years it lay in
coma. Now it is reawakening; its
friends declare that in three years more
it will eclipse the Phoebe of old; that
vastly more remains in the mines than
has ever been taken out, and that new
mines are being opened that are filed
with treasure.
But the old company is all gone. Not
one name remains of all who made the
camp famous. They have gone into
silence. All the great uperintendents
and lawyers; all the fighters-the
games were all stopped, the players
vanished.
We hope every expectation for glad
and prosperous future for the old camp
will be realized, and that those who
have kept the faith in the camp and
have done the work will be abundantly
rewarded.
