Fears Mob Rule.

The methods of the British govern
ment in dealing with militan: suffra'
gattes were discussed in heated fash
ion in the House of Commons yester.
day. One of the Unionist members
Harold Smith, declared that the pas
sive submission of the authorities Il
hunger strike and subterfuGcs has
brought ridicule on the administrator
of the law
"The country faces mob RUE he
urged, "and emergency measures arc
necessary. The Home Secretary has
reduced the administration Of the law
10 a farce. The natural consequence
is that the mob is taking the law int
its own hands.
at is a disgrace to civilized coun-
try THAT women are allowed openly &c
boast that they are crininally ccnspir-
ing to break the law and that nothing
can deprive them Of their liberty. The
Home Secretary ought to proclaim un-
lawful the meetings of the militant
suffragettes, but his only attempt to
remedy the situation thus far h;s
been a few puerile and futils efforts
at forcible feeding, barbaric IN theil
cruelty"
MIR. Smith turned upon Tie Homo
Secretary and dramatically demanded
that he resign from the cabinet.
"You are a hopeless failure, sir!
he shouted. "This presen: serious
state of affairs can be ended only By
strong men,"

STATE TAX ON
CORPORATIONS.

The announcement In yesterdays
Gazette of the purpose of State Au-
ditor Moore to enforce the law i'm
posing tax upon capital represent
ed by corporations chartered under
the laws of Virginia has caused some
comment. Commissioner of Revenue
Callahan has been directed by the
State Auditor to list the capital OF
such concerns for taxation.
1t is pointed out that the State will
receive about $4,000 by this proca-
dure in the way of increased receipts,
and should the city of Alexandria
avail itself of benefits that it is sup
posed would accrue it's revenue would
be increased to $175,0O0.
There is no doubt that the parties
interested would appeal the case an
the validity of such law might not
stand before an appellate court from
the fact that the state would be 60
ing outside its bounds for the purpose
of taxing property and capital.
While it is allowed that the state
would receive additional revenue
from the taxation,t the commonwealth
is likely to lose over quarter OF a
million dollars which is received year.
ly from foreign corporations which
obtain charters in Virginia.
Of course,now that attempts are to
be made to tax their capital,such con-
Germs will give our state wide berth
in the future.

materially aided in bringing about
tranquil conditions. The results of
his death are at present problem
atical, and there's manifest anxiety
among those who are striving tospart
the dogs of war. @
The King was returning from a
walk to the White Tower when the as
sassin was lodging his tracks. He
was in a happy and contented mood,
and aus he strolled along talked Of the
war, of the success of the Greek arms,
of the capture of Janina and Salon
ika, and of this fitting climax Of his
SO years reign. At that moment shot
rang out from behind. Colonel
Francoudis, the kings aid, sprang
| round and seized the hand of the as
Eassin, which was already poised
for second shot. Covering his roy
al master with his body, he seized the
assassin by the throat and held him
fast until passing soldiers ran TO his
assistance.
But the first shot had found its
Judgment. King George had already
sank to the earth. Ha was lifted into
a carriage, and with his head resting
on his arm, continued TO breathe for
a short time. But before the hospital
was reached life was extinct.
The bullet, which was fired at q
distance of two PAGES, entered the
back below the shoulder blade. It's
point of exit was below the stomach.
There was a severe hemorrhage. The
jeweled cross which the King always
wore was covered with blood.
The assassin of the king is an evil
looking fellow, about 40 years Of age.
On being arrested he refused TO eX-
plain his motive for the crime, and II
reply to an officer, who asked him
whether he had no pity for his county,
announced that he was against gov
ernments.
Crown Prince Constantine, who sue
ceeds King George, is at present at /
Janina.
