There was not the slightest division of opinion aa to the necessity of a hlghwuy commission armed with suf ficient authority to get Houth Carolina sand and clay together on the top of road beds. The only, differences that arose occurred on apeb questions of detail as the salariea of the official*, number of engineers to be employed, and similar comparatively unimport ant features. Une of the most Important changes which the senate adopted 1h embodied In an amendment by .Senator DuKrant whico makes the commissioner of ng grlculture ex-officio chairman of the board of eight commissioners instead of the governor as the hill originally provided. Honator Du Kant pointed out that the duties of the hlghwuy commission fell naturally under the work of the agricultural department. By th© Governor. The other seven commissioners are appointed by the governor one from each congressional dlsi lit. No mem ber of the commission shall receive Any other compensation than actual travelling expenses and other expen ses in the discharge of official du ties. It Is said that the creation of a high way commission will make instantly Ulabie for ua© in Houth Carolina highways, $160,000 of federal aid. Th© pu.isage of the hill is significant, not only bacuuse it will brim: federal ap propriations to Houth Carolina, but because It marks the departure from the traditional policy of th© statu which makes use of the county as the unit of construction and est blishes ihe state us the basis of highway Molding. glider the terms of the hill a* passed the senate, the commission is given th© right to Authorise th© construction of bridges over strciurns in the state. The commission is also authorized to condemn lands for road construction purposes. Highway Engineer. A state highway engineer is to lie employed by th© commission at a sal ary not exceeding $3,000 a year for © term not to exceed one year. He Is re quired to give bond of $5,000 for the faithful performance of his duties. It is the duty of the commission to con fer with th© engineer and give assist ance whenever requested Th© com mission is also authorized to appoint an many assistant engineers aa it con siders necessary, th© former to receive as a salary not more than SI,BOO a vear and the c!#rk not more than' $1,200. The senate refused to reconsider It© action Tu©nday night in sending to the house the insurance bill by Senator IjSney relating to the oppolntment of agents.

If the German govern ment as it says, expects that the Kpaninh people and government will close their ears to the reasons which have caused its decision and hopes that they will co-operate to avoid fur ther calamities and sacrifices of hu man life. It will also understand that th© .Spanish government while dispos ed to lend at the proper time its initia tive and support to anything that could contribute in the advent of a peace more and more wished for, can not admit the legality of exceptional methods of warfare As a Neutral. Those methods indeed, notwith standing Spain’s rights as a neutral and her unscrupulous fulfillment of duties incumbent on her as such, make mure difficult and even stop altogether h*r sea trade, compromising her eco nomic life and threatening with grave dangers the lives of her sub jects. "His majesty’s government, sup ported more firmly than ever by the Justice of Its position, does not doubt that the imperial government, inspired by the sentiments of friendship which unite the two countries, will find, not withstanding the severe exigencies of this terrible war, means of giving satisfaction to Spain's claims. These claims are based on the inexorable duty which binds a government to protect the lives of* its subjects and maintain th© Integrity of its sover eignty so that the course of national existence he not interrupted. For the reasons set out his majesty's gov ernment feels itself fully sustained in its position by reason and law.” Pgrls Comment. Paris. —The Petit Parisian, comment ing on the Spanish reply to th© German submarine note, says. j "When a country proclaims its sover eign rights and the necessities of its na-' tbrnal existence in condemning an act, which strikes at its Interests, it follows that It is disposed. If necessary, to re sist any violation of Its rights.” A Billion Pesetas. Madrid (via. Paris). —Premier Roman ones and the Duke of Alba, minister of th© Interior, met the minority lead ers at a two-hours’ conference today and asked thqlr support for the immediate passage of a number of measure*, in-, eluding a credit of a billion pesetas for public works. Among the projected bills is one for the reform of the foreign banking ser-. vices, another for the nationalization of exterior Joans, ft third for an increase in the IncomA tax and a fourth sos a substitution of a tax on thp profits of privileged enterprises instead of the present tax on war profit*. A measure was also discussed respecting the to bacco monopoly. The minority leaders agree to all the proposals except that for a billion pesetas credit and a bill dealing with the liquor question. These two matters were reserved for a further conference. Doesn’t Exclude Action. Referring to the Spanish not© to Ger many the Diario Universal says that the whole country is unanimously in favor of maintaining neutrality but that that attitude does not exclude action in the defense of national interests or for the protection of national dignity. "No country could renounce its right to that defense,” says the paper, ‘‘before tlie note of the central powers without at the same time abandoning Its neu trality. The two Ideas are perfectly com patible and on both the nation is unani mous. No one wants to abandon neu trality but no one wants either to aban don the interests and dignity of Hpain before th© caprice© or noresMitiea of for eign powers.” - > GERARD AND U.~S.
