WASHINGTON, d. c., Dec. 22-The
second note from Secretary Lansing to
the foreign minister at Vienna ON the
sinking of the Ancona is reported to
be delivered.
The text of the note which Ambas-
sador Penfield was instructed to de-
liver to the Austro- Hungarian minister
for foreign affairs reads as follows:
Department of State,
Washington, Dec. 10, 1915.
The government of the United States
las received the note of your excel
lency, relative to the sinking of the
Ancona. which was delivered at Vienna
ON December Is, 1915, and transmitted
to Washington, and has given the note
immediate and careful consideration.
On November Is, 1915, Baron Zwei-
dinek, the charge d'affaires of the i'm
perial and royal government at Wash
ington, transmitted to the department
of state a report of the Austro- -Hunga-
rian admiralty with regard to the sink
ing of the steamship Ancona, in which
it was admitted that the vessel was
tcrpedoed after her engines had been
stopped and when passengers were
still on board. This admission alone
is, in the view of the government of
the United States, sufficient to fix up
o., the commander of the submarine
which fired the torpedo the RESPONSE
bility for having wilfully violated the
recognized law of nations and entirely
disregarded those humane principles
which every belIigerent should observe
in the conduct of war at sea. In view
of these admitted circumstances, the
government of the United States feels
justified in holding that the details OF
the sinking of the Ancona, the weight
and character of the additional testi-
nlony corroborating the admiralty's re-
pert, and the number of Americans
killed or injured, are in no way essen
tial matters of discussion. The culpa-
bility of the commander is in any case
established, and the undisputed fact is
that citizens of the United States were
killed, injured or put in jeopardy by
his lawless act.
The rules of international law and
the principles of humanity which were
thus wilfully violated by the command
e. of the submarine have been so long
and so universally recognized and are
so manifest from the standpoint of
right and justice that the government
OF the United States does not feel call
cd upon to debate them and does not
understand the imperial and royal gov

TRAINMEN THANK CLAKY. Efforts of Commission to Settle Strike
 \ Appreciated.

Little Rock, Aug. 19.-Hon. J. C. Clary, commissioner of labor, has re- ceived from J. A. Farquharson, vice president of the Brotherhood of Rail- way Trainment, D. B. Robertson, vice president of the B. of L. F. & E., and K. Corrigan, assistant grand chief en- gneer of the B. of l.. E., the following endorsement of his good offices in connection with the efforts that have been made to adjust to the Jonesboro strike:
 we desire to assure you of our personal appreciation of your courte- sy and of our thanks for the veAy eff ticient assistance that you have ren- dered us in our efforts to secure for the train and tnginemen of the J. l.. c. & E. railroad some measure oi justice. That up to this time we have failed in that endeavor is not due to any lack of effort on your part. and as we further intend to contend for justice, we bespeak for the futulc the same hearty support you have given us up to this time"

Consuls Have rroubles.

The stranded American is the bane of the consus. His office is invaded by persons claiming his good offices after their plans have gone askaw. Those in better circumstances dsmand that the consul indorse their notes at the bank. those in poorer circumstances demand to be sent home It is anpar ertly fixed idea that 8 consul can draw on the treasury for the relief Of stranded Americans. Many cAses of dia.xass are pitiable and consuls. not even .ecouped against the social ex. penses 4acidental to their position. have to give relief out of their r-:. vate mems ard to stand the inev. table loss.

PULASKI COLLECTOR
 SETTLES WITH STATE
Of $1G6,SS9 Paid Into General Revenue Fund, All Scrip But Few Hum
 dred Dollars.

Little Rock, Aug. 19-Pulaski coun- ty has made it's final settlement with the state for the taxes of 1914. It is interesting to note that this county pays one-ninth of the total revenue of the state.
 Sheriff Hutton paid in a balance of $317, ,545.16. of which $106,SS9.69 was general revenue, only few hundred dollars being in actual cash, and the rest of it in warrants. This reduces the outstanding Indebtedness of the state to about $7o,o00, with seven ot eight counties yet 10 settle. If all get in before next pay day, the deficit may be temporarily wiped out. Sher- if Hutton had already paid into the general revenue fund S15, ,529.43.
 The total tax collections for Pu- laski county were $1,304, ,127,47, of which $126,4 473.66 was credited to the general revenue fund of the state $321.S1S.03 to the county, and $159,- 236.24 to the city of Little Rock.

NO WONDER THIS
 SEWER WAS CHOkED
Somebody Seems to Have Made It an Old Clothes De-
 pository-See List Below.

Three pair of stockings, two pair of suspenders, and a quantity of old rags, including several pieces of con siderable length, were removed yes terday from the sewer ia Virginia street, by employees of the city street department.
 In addition to these articles, there was lot of other trash taken from the sewer pipe, and when the clean ing process had been completed, tn sewer was in fine working shape and was doing the duty expected of it.
 The Virginia street Sewer has been prominent in the public eye, and in the attention <of the members of the city council, for something more than a month. Two weeks ago, after being informed by property owners in that section that the sewer would not work unless a flush tank was install- sd. the council forthwith ordered the flush tank installed, not fixing any limit to the expenditure. The flush tank, it is said, would have cost something like a250,
 Somehow, the order of the council was not carried out. Various mem- bers of the council looked into the proposition, and then 'Msyor Bloom was taken ill., At the meeting of the council Monday last, the same prop erty owners were again present, and again their complaints were aired A plumber was present to state that there was something wrong with the sewer, and to express the opinion that more water was necessary, to make the sewer perform its work properly He admitted he did not want the job, but if the city could not fix the matter up, he would do it, for $125. The council decided the condi- tiCns must be remedied, and the may CT and city engineer were authorized to see that remedial action was taken
 Mayor BlocI, and City Engineer Allen. with couple of the street de- par,ment .laborers, personally attend ed to the matter. After trey had re- moved stockings, suspenders, rags and other such stuff from the pipe the sewer was in excellent working order, and at an expense of not a cent, except the salaries of the men which were being paid anyhow.
 Mayer Bloom and City Engineer Allen expressed the opinion the sewer will remain in gco1 working order. if stockings, suspenders, rags and stuff of that kind are not deposited therein.

Little Rock, Aug. 19.-The Arkan- sas railroad commission announces that it will on September 2 take up an application for modification of eX- press tariff, made by F. G. Airy, rep resenting all the companies doing business in the state.
 The American, Southern and Wells Fargo request that the commission put into effect on Arkansas intra- state traffic the same schedule of first and second class package charges as authorized by the interstate commerce commission for interstate business, January 1, 1914.
 The express companies at that time applied for permission to apply the rate for the sake of uniformity, as they deemed it necessary in trying to make a success of the business that rates, regulations and pra, tices should be as nearly uniform as possi- ble.

He has resided in Pine Bluff for 15 years, and has been in the banking business foi most of that time.
 w. c. Hudson, bookkeeper of the new bank, was formerly cashier o1 the Bank of Pine Bluff, and is ac. corded a large share of the credit for the fact that creditors of the in stitution of which he was cashier vii
 receive 100 per cent on their claims as we'll as for the establishment 1T
