Rome hill posters will hereafter be required to pay a registration tax and will not be allowed to post bills pro miscuously without consent of proper ty owners. Governor Nortben has received the resignation of Captain McMaster, of die Burke Eight Infantry and a mem ber of the state advisory board. His business is of such a pressing nature that lie cannot givo the necessary time to these two places. The instructions in reference to quar terly payments for public school teach ers’ salaries, etc., have been arranged in the form of a circular and will bo sent out ail over the state. Other cir culars on tho snmo line will also be issued in a few days. The National bank, of Brunswick, opens for business under telegraphic npproval of Comptroller Eckles.

At the sixth annual encampment of the department of Georgia, Grand Army of tho Republic, at Savannah, a resolution was passed recommending that Atlanta be chosen as the place for holding the national encampment in 1895, and that the delegates to tSe en campment be instructed to east their vote accordingly, in case such invita tion should be extended by the city of Atlanta. ♦ * * Columbus is Considerably worried because the Georgia Midland and Gulf railroad has discontinued its double daily passenger service between Co lumbus ana Atlanta. Train No. 60, which has been leaving Golumbns at 3 o’clock p. m., and No. 53, which has been arriving at 12:27 o’clock p. m., were taken off, and now Columbus has not a train to Atlanta and the east af ter 11 o’clock r. m. Not only is pas senger travel seriously iuconveuienoed, but the mail facilities are badly crip pled. Poor business necessitated the discontinuance of the double daily ser vice. # * • A report has been received at SavaiH nak that Justice Jackson is to be trans ferred {<> the sixth judicial circuit, and that Justice White, the recent ap pointee of the supreme court, is to be assigned to the Savannah circuit.

The annual camp will be held at Camp Northen from May 21st to June 14th. With the date of the encampment fixed and the nrrauge- incut of the tours perfected, the mili tary boys are all happy and can begin to anticipate the joys of camping at Camp Northen iu all tho beauty of frehh spring. The Fifth Regiment band of Atlanta has been secured for the entire encampment, l'liis is au enlisted band, and its members are soldiers of the state.

It is reported that a petition has been filed at Montgomery, Ale.., by tbc bondholders of the Savannah and Western railroad for the removal of Mr. H. M. Comer as co-receiver, and the separation of the property from the Central Rnilroad of Georgia. The movement comes through the Central Trust eompauy, of New York, and is probably taken ns a matter of policy to secure a segregation of interests which aome of tho holders of the Sa vannah and Western rnilroad bonds regnrd as not identical. Mr. Comer is now co receiver with Capt. R. J. Lowry, of Alljnta. It is not believed that the petition is base 1 upon want of confidence in Mr. Comer, but is a movement looking to a divorcement of the interests of the two roads. BUSINESS REVIEW. Report of Trade for Ihe Past Week l>y Diiu Sc Co. R. G. Dun Sc Co.’s weekly review of trade sayR: Week by week it is found possible by au increasing number of concerns to revive production with a general range of prices the lowest ever known, many with a doubt how long they will bo able to operate. Tims tlie measure of resumption by works or hands or hours of labor is not a mess •ire of tho revival in business, either ns to quantity or values of goods distrib uted. Prices of commodities are this week on tho whole, tho lowest of w hich there is any record, having declined j per cent in March and averaging 11.8 per ceut lower than a year ago, so that more than a third of the decrease iu volume of all payments is due to decline in prices of tilings consumed. Six more iron furnaces have gone into blast this month, in part beeanse prices of finished products are a shade lower, and further contracts have thus been secured. Pittsburg gets the lion's share and has most of its works iu op eration. The number of failures this week is 214 in the United States against 150 last year, and 55 in Cauada against 30 last year. Tho absence of important embarrassments is still most encour aging. H0UK NOMINATED. lie Contests Gibson’s Yote and is Suc cessful.

A New Chinese Treaty. The senate committee on foreign re lations has been considering an im portant Chinese treaty negotiated by the now Chinese minister and Secreta ry Gresham.

Section 105 which provider that the president shall notify the Hawaiian government of the intention of this government to abrogate the treaty of 1875, has been stricken out. The clause of that section repealing that part of the MeKinley act providing for reciprocal treaties has been amended to read as follows: “That sections 3, 15 and 16 of act, etc., are hereby repealed and all agreements or arrangements made or proclaimed be tween the United States and foreign gervernments under the provisions of said sections are hereby abrogated, of which the president shall give such notice to the authorities of said for eign governments as may be required by the terms of such agreements or arrangements.” The most important change in the administrative features of the bill is the action of the com mittee in striking ont the words “highest duty” as found in the house bill and regulnting the rates of duty on all goods coming in under the similitude clause and substituting therefor the words “lowest duty.” This was the subject of a long argu ment in the full committee, in which Secretary Carlisle endorsed the pro visions of the hotlse bill. The commit- toe, therefore, has made change in all goods enumerated or coming in under the similitude clause will pay the highest instead of the lowest rate of duty.

Whisky, iron ore, coal, lead ore and opium are unchanged.
