Inch Guns.

Sea Power, the organ of the Navy
league of the United States, says a
Washington dispatch to the New York
Times, will make the statement edi-
torially in it's issue of this week that
ssit is hardly to be doubtful that Great
Britain is preparing surprise for the

This opinion is based on informa-
ton received from abroad. The navy
department, according to Sea Power,
is said to have received rumors that
Great Britain is building one or more
batt!eships of 10000 tons displace-
ment.

''The navy department, it is said,

It is believed that, if this be true,
these vessels will probably carry bat

It's First Appearance.

"The pink boil worm has not been
known to exist on the North Ameri-
can continent heretofore. The pest
is prevalent in practically all other
cotton producing regions of the
world, and in all sections where it
has become established has caused
widespread destruction. Its estab-
lishment in Northern Mexico consti
tutes one of the greatest menaces
which has come to the American cot
ton growing industry in its history.
Every possible precaution will be
taken to prevent the worms from get
ting across the border. All cotton in
terests are warned of the danger
which threatens the industry and are
urged to give the utmost assistance
to the federal authorities in prevent
ing any movement in violation of
these rules governing movement of
cotton seed, cotton seed hulls, seed
cotton or cotton lint from Mexico in
to the United States.

PINK BOIL WORM.
Most Destructive of All Cotton Pests
Discovered in Northern Mexico.

Washington, Nov. 4.-The pink
boil worm, most destructive cotton
pest known, has appeared for the
first time in North America. The de-
partment of agriculture announced
today that worms had been discover
ed in Northern Mexico, where their
presence, the department says in an
official announcement, "constitutes
one of the greatest menaces which
has come to the American industry
in it's history Importation from
Mexico of cotton seed, cotton seed
hulls and seed cotton is prohibited
under an order issued late today.
Discovery of the worm was an
nounced in the following statement:
"The pink boil worm, the most de-
structive of known pests of cotton has
been discovered in the Laguna dis
trict, Coahula, Mexico, within zoo
miles of the Texas border. Amend
ments to quarantine orders and regu-
lations effective Immediately, have
been promulgated by the secretary of
agriculture, prohibiting the importa-
ton into the United States of cotton
seed. cotton seed hulls and seed cot
ton from the territory in Mexico from
which shipments heretofore have
been permitted, and requiring that
Mexican lint cotton destined for the
United States be imported through
certain northern ports remote from
American cotton fields.

U. D. c. DECORATE GRAVES.

Snadusky, C., May ay@30 0-'For the first time in more than quarter of cen tury the graves of the 600 officers and 5000 soldiers of the Confedefacy in the federal prison cemetery: on Johnson's island, in Sandusky harbor were not decorated by the local G. A. R. On account of age and in- firmities the handful of surviving Grand Army veterans were obliged reluctantly to discontinue their time honored custom, and to save their strength for. the task of decorating the graves of their own dead The graves of the "boys in gray,' howev- CT, are not to be neglected on Me- morial day. Learning of the decision of the G. A. R. post, the Cincinnati chapter of the Daughters of the Con- federacy volunteered to take up the task and received permission to send many large boxes of flags and flow CTS for the decoration of the Confed- crate graves.

Little Rock. May 3O.-The usual speculation is being indulged in as tc the policy which the incoming gov ernor. will adopt in making appoint ments to official positions, that is whether he will be actuated primarily by desire to reward friends, or will look, first to the good of the service Close, friends. of GOvernOr-elec1 Brough say that he will demand of office-seekers a great deal more than political fitness. In other words, "l- helped -elect-you" will be no sesame at all unless backed up by ability.
 The following are some of the most important positions which il will fall to the lot of the governor to fil! by appointment Two peni- tentiary commissioners at salary ol 5000 per annum; two members oi the board of control, $2,300; labor commissioner, $2,000; two members of the tax commission. $2.lG0: bank commissioner, $3.O00; mine inspector $2,000.

 The tendency last year was to ex- tend the wheat area, but the results of the harvest were not such as fully to justify the farmers foresight. The climatic conditions were unfavorable from the planting to the reaping sea son, and the grain gathered was light in quality and not very generous in

Washineton, May 29.-Half bill lion dollars will be the. governments internal revenue tax toll for the fis- cal year ending June. .a4 zlsxt,, accord ing to a statement issued today by Secretary McAdoo. This sum, which MT. McAdoo says exceeds by many millions all previous estimates, will be made up substantially as follows: Taxes on whisky, beeer. cigars, cig- 'arettes and tobacco, $303, 100000.
 Taxes on the income of individuals and corporations. $115,000,00O.
 Emergency tax collections, $S3,OOO,- 900.
 The volume of money pouring into the treasury has steadily increased since last fall until it is now greater than at any time since the effects o1 the war began to be felt. Mir. Nc Adoo accounts for the situation as fellows:
 "The great boom in business is largely responsible for the increase in receipts from ordinary internal revenue. The prosperity of the .orn- try with the attendant wider scope of employment and increase in wages has in itself resulted in larger con- sumption of taxable articles, greatly augmenting the governm reIe- nuc"
 Consumption of whiskey, cigars cigarettes and tobacco has increased according to revenues received, while consumption of beer has decreased during the fiscal year. For the first 10 months of the fiscal year receipts of taxes on cigars, cigarettes and to- baoco increased $5,50o,121 over ;he corresponding period year ago due in a large part, the statement says to the great improvement in business conditions.
