WAR MAY BREAK
OUT IN EUROPE
Count White Finds the Situation
Serious.
MADE TOUR OF CONTINENT.
He Places His Chief Hope For the
Prevention Of War In the Char
acter ard Intentions Of
Emperor William.

st. Petersburg White, who
has recently returned from a tour of
several OF the more important Eu-
ropean capitals, says there is a grave
prospect of a great European war.
Count Witte said the general situa-
ton in Europe impressed him as
ominous and he was especially I'M
pressed by the easy manner in which
the German government succeeded in
having the increased military budget
passed by the Reichstag and the
promptitude with which the upper
class in Germany responded to the
financial appeal made to them in con
nection with the great military plans.
He was also surprised at the great
resistance shown in France to the
three years compulsory military serv-
ice bill and the lack of enthusiasm
over the new loan, which really was
the cause of its abandonment and the
fall Of the Barthou ministry.
THE situation to uy mind is ex-
tremely grave" said Count Witte
The only hope l have of a general
European war being ayerted is my
knowledge Of the character and in
tentions of Emperor William. He has
declared that so long as he lives he
will not permit a general war to break
out in Europe If t e situation is
taken in hand early enough he may be
able to prevent such war; if not
dread to think what would follow. In
any event now that Alexander III. is
no more, Europe must look 20 the Ger
man Emperor as the strongest sup
porter Of world peace.

ANNAPOLIS NEWS
FOR SMALLER ASSEMBLY.
State Senator Benson Proposes To
Raise Legislators Pay.

State Senator Benson Proposes To
Raise Legislators Pay.
Believing that the adoption of his
idea will have the effect of encourag-
ing high-grade men to seek election to
the General Assembly. State Senator
Carville d. Benson, Of Baltimore coun-
ty. aroused considerable interest by
announcing that he is working on a
plan for increasing the pay of legisla-
tors without increasing the States eX-
penses.
To do this he suggests amendments
to the Constitution under which the
representation in both branches of the
Legislature will be materially reduced
while the terms of the members of the
House of Delegates will be increased
from 2 to years-one-ha of the
membership to be elected every two
years. In this way he figures election
dates can be so arranged that one
election will be dispensed with every
other year. Before this plan of Sen
ator Benson's can be put into effect it
will be necessary to first amend that
section of the Constitution prescribing
how amendments to that instrument
shall be made. Otherwise, since at
present each section of the Constitu-
ton must be amended separately, Mr..
Benson thinks any attempt to change
the representation in the General AS
sembly would drag itself out into an
almost endless affair Senator Ben
son said that if his plan is carried out
representation in the House and Sen
ate will be by districts instead of by
counties. These districts, he thinks,
should be based largely upon popula-
ton, but not in such manner as to
give Baltimore city absolute control.
He has not yet decided to what extent
the representation in either branch
should be reduced, but thinks the re-
duction in the House should be pro
portionately larger than the reduction
in the Senate.

ORDERED TO
CEASE FIRING
FederaIs and Rebels obey
Order of American Admiral.
HALT IN BATTLE OF TAMpICO.
Combatants Told BY Admiral He
Would Open Fire On Them With
Guns OF Wheeling If Orders
Were Not obeyed.

Mexico City-Re ar-Admiral Fetch
er, commander of the American naval
forces in Mexican waters, ordered the
rebels and Federals fighting at
Tampico to cease firing, threatening
to open upon them with the guns of
the gunboat Wheeling if his order was
not Obeyed. Both sides complied with
the order
This information Is contained in a
dispatch received by Sir Lionel Car
den, the British Minister, from Rear
Admiral Sir Christopher Cradock, of
the British cruiser Berwick, which is
lying off Tampico.
The Federals hold the centre of the
town Of Tampico and the water front
Rear-Admiral Fletcher has ordered
foreigners to take refuge on board
ships or to cOngregate on the water
front where they will be under the
protection of his guns.
Rebel Force Double FederaIs.
How many rebels are engaged in the
attack on Tampico is not known, but
it is estimated that their number is at
least twice that of the Federals and
their operations indicate that they ex-
pect more men from Victoria, capital
of the State of Tamaulipas, which lies
half way between Tampico and
Monterey to the north The rebels
who are in possession of yards and
shops and large stores of material
and equipment have actually detach-
ed from their lines sufficient men to
undertake repairing the railroad north
and west from Tampico toward Vic
toria. The damage that has been
done this line, while enough to pre-
vent the operation of trains, is not so
great that it will long delay a re-
sumption of traffic. Most of the de
stroyed bridges being small ones can
be easily replaced. Repairs to the
road southwark from Victoria also are
being rushed. and it is not improbable
that the rebels will be able to trans
port fresh troops and additional artil-
lery supplies there before the govern
ment can get reinforcements to the
port.

STATE GAME MEN MEET.
Want Uniform Charge For Gunners'
Licenses-EIect officers.

At meeting of the executive board
Of the Maryland State Game and Fish
Protective Association a committee
was appointed to confer with former
State Senator German in reference to
the Statewide Game law to be pre-
sented to the next Legislature. The
bill provides for a uniform charge OF

and for the increase of the State Game
Warden's salary from $1,000 to $4,000,
the deputies to receive $500 and $500
for expenses. 1t is thought that about
half of the $4,000 expected from the
tax can be devoted to buying and pro-
lection of game. A public meeting
will be held next month at the Lyric,
when Joseph Kalfus, State Game
Warden of Pennsylvania, will give an
