feet on the gauge.
At 1:43 p. m. Tuesday Fire

CLASH OF FLEETS i
AT ANY TIME.;
Any hour may bring to us news
of the greatest of naval battles.
The fleet of Rojestvensky in two
divisions is doubtless planning
to effect a juncture, the main
fleet having passed through the
Malacca straits and a squad of
the most formidable battleships
under the direct command of the
Russian admiral having been re
ported at Muntok.
The purpose of the Russians is
doubtless to proceed eastward
past the Philippines and rendez
vous in the Pacific, then make a
dash for Vladivostok.
Just where Togo is, no one
knows. He seems to have out
witted the newspaper corres
pondents and the marine trades
men. He has fleet scouting crui
sers and was doubtless awax-e of
the Russians approach in ad
vance of the outside world. Will
he make his strike in the night
time and with his thirty torpedo
craft disable the better ships of
the enemy? Togo is a strategist
and never waits long for tne fa
vorable opportunity. The wires
nhay any hour flash around the
wor’ 4 the news of his almost cer
tain victory and crush to despair
the only hope of the Russians.
SENATE FAVORS
TAX REDUCTION.
Mears Bill Meets With Approvai
In Senate.—House Opposes
Night Session and Sticks to
Anti-Nepotism Clause.
Little Rock,April 10.—The sen
ate this morning passed with only
one dissenting vote the Mears
bill reducing the state levy tax
from 2 1-4 mills to 1 3-4 mills.
Senator Toney of Jefferson voted
against the measure. The bill
was introduced some time ago
and was sent to the finance com
mittee, from which it came with
a proposed amendment making
the assessment two mills. This
was offered as a compromise be
tween the present tax and the
one proposed in the bill. By a
rising vote the amendment was
defeated and the bill passed.
The appropriation bill for the
support and maintenance of the
deaf mute institute passed with
out opposition. The aggregate
amount is $170,000.
Senator Holland’s bill provid
ing for the weighing of coal as it
comes from the mines and betore
it passes over a screen passed
the senate also.
Senator Fletcher called up sen
ate bill 304, and it was passed by
a vote of 23 to 4, to provide for
the working of public roads by
contract. A board of county
road supervisors, composed of
the county judge, county clerk
and the sheriff, is created. This
board is to let contracts, but such
contracts shall not be made for a
longer period than the term of
office of the county judge.
Senator Amis called up senate
bill No. 289, to require all foreign
life insurance companies to in
vest three-fourths of the receipts
from business done in the state,
in the state. Senator Amis said
that for 1904, $16,000,000 worth
of insurance was written in this
state. Three-fourths of the pre
miums collected should be invest
ed or loaned in Arkansas,he said.
It would place more money in
circulation, Senator Amis said,
and upon the conclusion of his
address the bill went through
with only three noes.
ANTI-NEPOTISM CLAUSE STICKS.
The house this morning re
fused to recede from their anti
nepotism amendment to the blind
school appropriation bill. The
amendment was adopted last
week in committee of the whole
after a great deal of wrangling,
and when the bill came up in the
house this morning lor consid
eration the members promptly
voted down a motion to reject
the anti-nepotism amendment,
Mr. Hurst contending for its re
jection.
The Simpson resolution pro
viding for night sessions of the
house and senate three nights
out of the week was defeated by
the house by a vote of 27 to 32,
after motions to table and to in
definitely postpone had been re
jected.
The Hurst bill providing for a
direct and collateral inheritance
tax came up for consideration
this morning, but was displaced
by the expiration of the morning
hour and no final action was
taken on the measure.
