Taxation is not heavy. We pay about
$5 a head all told, but the greater part of
our taxation is paid indirectly. There is
a tax on wine, and then we have a license
tax, by which everyone who carries on a
trade or a profession is obliged to pay a
certain sum to the treasury, ibis amount
varies with the size of the town and with
the value of the house in which the man
live.-. A tradesman in a small town pays
a smaller tax than if he carried on a busi
ness in Athens, and the taxes paid by law

other articles. These taxes may seem
heavy, but under I r. Tricoupis they are
being reduced, and they are so divided that
they do not fall heavily upon the people.
We have an army of .28,000 men m time
of peace, and this can be raised to 160,000
in war times. The Greeks are as strong
physically as they were in aneient times.
They are natural soldiers, and they can en
dure forced marches as well as any of the
soldiers of modern times. The Greeks of
the mountains are especially hardy, and
they have good staying qualities in time of
war.

affirm that in the accejitance of
power ho secured, the ajiparent jiurpose
of the party to continue the methods
mentioned, and its shameless defense of
criminals, who, in the States of Maine, Illi

the popular will by frauds aud forgeries,
justi.'y us in charging that it has practically
become in a national sense an organized con*
gpiracy agaiutt a free ballot and fair
elections. In view of these facts, and be
lieving that to deprive legally qualified
voters of the franchise, or to impair public
cenfidence in the fairness of the count, is to
awaken and ultimately destroy free institu

of Ohio to rebuke the party resjtonsible for

will insure freedom and fairness in the elec

the interests of labor and destructive to na

of the ways and means committee, as a di
rect and open assault upon industries, which
will, if unresisted, result in lnt*oducing a
policy of free trnae, that, in the near future,

Knoxville, Tknn., April 21.—A scries
of battles have been fought in the lost few
days between the Jones and Green families
in Hancock county, and several are re
ported w ounded, two very seriously. Some
two montlii ago, Dick Green killed William
Jones. Green was on his way to church
with his baby in his arms, when he was as-
sanlted by Jones. He pulled his pistol, shot
Jones dead in his trucks and went on to
church with his baby. He was lodged in
jail last week, but gave bond and was re
leased.
Sunday morning lie was attacked In a
field by some of the Jdoes family, the father
and two brothers of the deceased. Tom
Green was badly wounded, and yeiterday
the war was renewed, and it is reported that
one of the Greens undone of the Joneses
were shot. Both sides arc heavily armed
and it is impossible to make arrests.

Berlin, April 21.—After a paroxysm of
difficult breathing, preceding a discharge of
pus, this morning, the Emperor wrote on a
slip of paper: “How much longer of this?”
For the first time, since the final crisis set
in, the sufferer yesterday and to-day dis
played signs of restlessness and irritable
temper, questioning the doing oi the doctors
and attendants and giving nnd countermand
ing orders. His fever does not show signs
of abating, his temperature for the day aver
aging 103.10, Fahrenheit Tbe.question the
Emperor put is in everybody’s mind, nnd
the attendants and doctors are assailed on
every hand with the inquiry, “How much
longer?” The physicians are studiously si
lent, hut It is permitted to be known that
the Emperor’s life may be prolonged for two
weeks, though any moment may bring the
last phase of the malady, death by suffoca
tion.

curtailing interviews with other members of

to have access to the Emperor unless he es

to the ministerial council held this evening,
over which the Crown Prince presided. In
a long interview between the Crown Prince
nnd his father and mother on Thursday, the
Emperor referred to the position of tlie Em
press after liis death. Bismarck and the
Empress appear to have become reconciled,
and the chancellor never fails, after leaving
tlie Emperor, to hold a long conversation
with the Empress. A report which is cur

ministers lias already discussed tlie terms of

conservative papers
now readily admit that the treatment of
the English doctors is possibly right. For
instance, the Schleesische Zeitung (conserv
ative) says: “So far as non-medicos can
judge, Dr. Mackenzie preventod an extreme
ly dangerous operation. He has sustained
hope as long as possible, doing all that coaid
be done to alleviate his sufferings. What
more could be demauded of a physician who
was treating a malady which other doctors
declared a year ago to be incurable?”
The Empress at first ordered the historic
rooms of tjueen Louise at Charlottenburg
Sastle to be refitted for her mother’s occu
pancy. These rooms have hitherto been
preserved with the furniture and everything
intact os they were left at tbe death of Queen
Louise.
The intention of the Empress getting
abroad led to private protests against touch;
ing relics known to be revereu throughout
Germany. The Empress has now ordered
rooms to be prepared on the ground floor of
the castle in the right wing, which was built
by Frederick the Great.
THESE HAVE BEEN SWEPT CLEAN
of many articles which Germans would like
to see preserved. Three hundred workmen
are employed night and day in renovating
tv.nniR. in which will be reproduced
the interion of Balmoral Palace, Queen vic
toria’s Highland residence. An English
architect directs the work, and this gave rise
to the general belief that all the workmen
were English and all the new furniture had
been bought In England. This was Incor
rect. The workmen are all Germans, aud
all the furniture that could be had in
Germany was obtained here. The style of
renovatfon doea not suit the taste of Berlin
ers and shows want of tact on the part of the
Empress or an imprudent disregard of popu
lar feeling. The Emperor’s crisis has
brought financial business to a standstill and
the enormous loans recently referred to re
main in abeyance- Still, affairs are far from
a state of collapse. The leading bank shares
have risen on an average ten percent, on the
strength of the prospective loan issues,
which are certain to swell dividends at the
close of the year. The Deutsche bank has
floated the Rome munieipsl loan with
marked success. The Uandelsgesellschaft
has negotiated with so much success a loan
for a large joint stock iron company as to
induce other iron and steel works to apply
to it for capital to extend their business.
SOME EXCITEMENT
was caused in financial circles at the begin
ning of the week when it waa learned that
Roschereau,agent for the Paris Comptoir,had
made overtures to the Discontogesellschaft
to join in the Russian loss. The affair ended
by the refusal of Yijschnegradsky, Russian
minister of finance, to acci
own judgment. The position of invcitcis’ja
strengthened by a recent verdict in a e x.-t.
of law to the effect that payment of intoni
on Russian stock must he made za full i
Germany without deduction of Rustias con-
pops.

Tlie Will ot Mrs. Stewart.
From the Hempstead Inquirer.
By her own original will, after givingg
legacies to tbe Smith family to the amoimt
of $1,200,000; to the Butler family cf
$3n(l,mm: to her three half sifters jl'Mr.ii'
each annuity during life, and to herbrotji-
er i-iniv dead) $20,00(1 annuity, the rw.i.
due was given in equal shares to Charles
J. Clinclijnnd Henry lliltou.
Afterward, by codicils, she revoked tit i
devise to Hilton personally and turned it
into a trust fund to build and complete
and endow the cathedral schools and build
ings at Garden City.
By another codicil'sh* divided the share
given to Charles J. Clinch with his sister,
Sar>h N. Smith, and left it discretionary
with Judge Hilton to use the whole or any
part of the half In-Id in trii-l by him U
complete the cathedral work, ard any sur
plus to pay it over to the legatees and de
visees named in the will.
These being the provisions of the will
and codicils of Mrs. C. M. Stewart, and
which were by the general consent and
concurrence of all tne heirs admitted to
probate on November 13, 1886, it is r,n<.
claimed that th y shall beie-cxauiincda.')d
again probated upon the general as-ortioii.
of one of the children of a deceased half-
sister that Mrs. Stewart was incompetent
to make or understand her will as executed
bv her; that she did not comprehend the
idea of the cathedral church and schools re.
uarden City; tnat she was imposed upox>
in respect to erecting and endowing tSe
same by the undue influence and fraudu
lent conduct of Henry Hilton, and that the
same person, by undue influence and frat.-i.'
and circumvention, induced her to make
the will which she signed. All this, it i-
claimed, was done, notwithstanding Judge
Ililton nor any member of his family de
rive one dollar of benefit from tbe will and
codicils which he lias thus fraudulently
induced .Mrs. Stewart to make.
The half devised to him in trust is tW
greatest legacy given in amount, at least
so far as is known, to public and charita
ble uses. Already some $2,000,000 have
been expended by Mrs. Stewart at Garde. -
Cit^, in the cathedral church, schools and
buildings now there, and the share 'ef; tc-
Judge Hilton in tru-t to complete this ca
thedral work, it is claimed, would to-duy
realize and produce over $6,000,000, oi
which the Jti-I^r may appropriate th>-
whole or any part he may cw:-i-!--r nc< -—
aary to complete the system of buildings
