Lord Lansdowne moved an adjourn

spect and as a result the work of the
Office Of the Auultor of Public Accounts
Is being greatly delayed. including the

that the local men are so far behind

completed months ago.
The land assessors for the cities Of
Norfolk and Roanoke are not included
in the eight. Norfolk has until Deem

Greatest Problem.
Among the multifarious requests for
all kinds of information received by
the Secretary of the Commonwealth
are frequently to be found applications
for his -..uividual opinion. This Colonel
lanes and Chief Clerk Hawkins are
not anxious to give.
In the mail yesterday was letter
from California saying that a certain

requesting information and the opin-

with all sorts of information regard

These two subjects are: Resolved.
That the white citizens of the South

means to insure their political su.

The application of the express com

that the interstate regulations be made

that they have of late years so nearly
complied with the desires and rules of
the Corporation Commission that tho
latter body ought TO come across with
the few remaining differences and
make the general regulations OF the

Liquor Dealers Object.
Several points are thus involved but
1t appears that no objection is forth
coming save from the liquor shippers,
who say that the proposed rule in re-
gard to the shipment of their goous
would injure them a good deal. The
express companies desire that when
whiskey is shipped in small quantities
1t should be packed. IL IN glass con-
tanners, in corrugated paper boxes so
as to protect 1t from breakage and
consequent losses from damage. This
is the point of contention.

evident that there was no apparent
possibility of getting together. and
