Carson, Scv., March 10. All the special trains left last night, taking homo the San Francisco crowd and most of the eastern people to Reno, where they made connection with the train for Omaha and Denver, Regular tiains this morning took away tho re maining visitors those from Nevada towns and Carson has resumed its normal condition. The majority of the people are glad the lights were held here, as the yisltors left a large amount of money. The hotels, board-ing-houses, restaurants, livery stables, and gambling-houses got about all of it, but the storekeepers.-in addition to the profits from the little trade they had will ultimately receive a large part of it, so they, too, are pleased. The ministers and their congregations are the only ones who feel any chagrin, and speak of the "disgrace brought upon Carson by entertaining a lot of Bugilists and .their friends and ad mirers." The fakers have disappeared, having gone away with the shellmcn and the owner of the wheel of fortune, but tho "gambling-houses arc open, as usual, having, however, dropped back to their ordinary games. The sports from abroad patronized them night and day, but It is understood did not take home with them much of their capital. It Was Not a Chance Blow. Carson, March 10. Fitzsimmons spent the night at his old trainlg quarters. lie will leave for San Fran cisco tonight -He-showed few marks yesterday of the severe.punlshmentho received In the ring. His lower lip was split somewhat in the center1 and was slightly swollen, but there were no other marks about him to indicate he had justgone through a hard bat tle. "My lips are very thin," said Fitz, "and crack open without being hurt. I know I lost some blood, but it didn't weaken me at all, and things looked much worse with mo than they really were. There was not a time I was not sure of winning, and after the sixth round, in which they say Corbett had me going, I told my men I was going to lick Corbett to a cer tainty. I saw he was able to keep his head out of my way, and then I began to lay for his body, and I fin ished him just as I did Shancey. There Is no sense in saying It was a chance blow. It was just the kind of a blow Iiwas waiting for a chance to deliver, and when my chance came I sent It home and won the flglit." James M. Anderson, who was to have been one of the contestants in the 6hoot for a silver cup, which is now held by Elliott, of Kansas City, has entered suit against Dan Stuart' for $500. He claims he was induced to spend momv and time coming to Car son City, and after he arrived tho shoot was declared off. Stuart de clared the shoot off because there were not sufficient entries. Stuart played In great good fortune yesterday. Today a gale of DO miles an hour is driving dense clouds of wet scow through the air and the roads are rapidly becoming seas of mud.

Heartburn cured by Davwn'i Bitters OJ (S7703EUCA, ttBilt ttfUtUf at tlM Ttqr COUNTIES Will HoW the State Tax. Couny Judges Favor the People's Cause, Portland, March 19. Five county judges responded In person to the call for a meeting In Portland for tho pur pose of considering the question which is now before tho people in regard to tho disposition to be made of the money due the state from tho different counties. Although but five judges were able to respond in person, there were 18 other county judges represented by letters which ' have been received by Judge Gray. In these lettcis the writers niakeJoiown what their opin ion Is of the important questioner withholding the state money. When asked as to tho sentiments of tho ab sent ludacs. the chairman of tho in formal meeting this morning stated that there were about 14 In favor of the plan which has already been gen erally favored, about six arc In doubt and tho others are opposed. It Is pretty conclusive that most of the counties are not going to allow their tax fuuds to bo paid over to tho state until it Is known what is to be done with the meney: The situa tion Is one of grave importance to the people, Inasmuch as there is a great amount) of money at stake and as Judge Gray said teday: "The people will demand to know what will bo done with this money or they will In sist that it bo kept at home." That Is the situation in a nutshell. Judge Northup has already an nounced that Multnomah county will not pay ovei Its sharo of tho state tax, something like $200,000. Clacka mas county, Judge Hayes says, will ot pay more than 15 per cent of tho state tax for '00. Judgo Gray, from Clatsop county, is backed up strongly by tho people of that section iand ho favors holding back tho tax money. Some of the answers from the J udges oi tiie inferior cuuuiiea ouuw uiui tuu counties owing but a small amount of revenue will probably pay It over and be done with it. But it Js the larger ones, whose contribution to the state treasury arc counted upon in tho ap propriation's that are a unit upon the proposition. Those who gathered at the meeting were uncompromisingly against al lowing the people's money to bo sent to tho state treasury when it could bo well used at home. They expressed the belief that the people at least had the right to demand of tho state treasucr and secretary what purposes the funds would be devoted to before complying with tho law. They had no desire to oppose the law which re quires taxes to be paid over, but they said there was no uso In allowing tho taxpayers to bo bested to tho extent of 10 per cent. One member cited the 'tio-up" in Oregon It '08, when 20 to 30 per cent was taxed up on tho tax payers' money which was In the pub lic vaults. They seemed to think the time for some kind of action had como when the counties would bo charged a double rate of Interest Interest on their debts and Interest on claims against the state when presented two years hence. 'X lie position oi uic eccreuiry oi state Is that he cannot now draw war rants on (the state treasury. If the taxes are paid in, the money will He In the vaults unused. In ,the end the claims against the state must be paid, and probably with 8 per cent Interest added In Multnomah county tho county court has virtually decided to. apply the state tax money to tho pay ment of-unpald county warrants which are drawing Interest at the rate of 8 per cent. County Judge W. S. Crowell, of Jackson county, hoi written to State Treasurer Metschan, asking him If ho would penult Jackson's part'of the state taxes to remain lo tho county treasury until such tlmo as they may be needed to meoi appropriations made by the legislature, provided the county will pay tho state 4 per cent Into -est on the withheld money. Treasurer Metschan says ho cannot entertain such a proposition, and lias answered Judge Crowell by referring him to section 2313, of Hill's code, which piovldes that "on or befoto the first Monday of April of each year" Jackson and certain other counties of the state shall pay their state taxes Into the state treasury, and in caso f failure to do so within 30 days thcic aftcr tho unpaid taxes shall Lo deemed delinquent, and the legal rate of 'interest thereafter charged until payment is made. Treasurer Metschan also cites Jack son's county Judge to section 2843 of the code, providing that a county treasurer becomes liable to the forfeit ure of 20 per cent of moneys not paid into tho statu treasury within the time prescribed by law, In addition to the forfeiture of his office, and being deemed a public defaulter. Thestate treasurer also Invokes tho supreme court decision in the caso of tho State vs. Baker county, In which It Is held that state taxes shall" "bo paid to tho state treasurer In gold and silver coin, out of tho first moneys col lected and paid Into tho county treasury."

Among tho survivors is Honor Tag- ado, a San Domlngan, who was com pelled to witness the death of his wife and four children without being able to alleviate their sufferings. What became of 44 persons besides theso mcnrloned above can only bo surmised, although there is n remote possibility that ono or inoro of tho thrco boats In which they left tho sinking steamer in tho midst of a fierce storm off Capo Hattotas, has been picked upby a sailing vessel.

They were brought to Perth Amboy yesterday. Tho Str. Nazal re cleared from New York for Port au Prlnco on March 0. On tho following day, tho leak was discovered, but It was not thought to bo sufficiently serious to return to port. Hy tho second day tho leak had Increased and n portion of tho cargo on tno port sicio was uamugcu. The boat which was found by the Hilda six days after thesinklngof tho steamship Is the only ono of the four that has been heard of. Thlrty-ilvo pcrbons, It Ik said, were crowded Into the boat from which tho survivors were tuken. Ono by one all but tho four rescued men died from tho ex posure or hunger, or woro swept Into tho deep by waves which broke over tho small boat, I 1AT CRETE, A Blockade Is Ordered, Admirals Ask Greece to Withdraw Her Warships, Cani:a, March 19.

Opposition vo tho Occupation. Athenb, March 10. According to persistent rumors circulating hero, Colonel Vassos, commander of tho Greek army of occupation, has boon ordered to opposo tho landing of tho foreign troops now on tho way to Crete. Tills, however, may mean only formal opposition as a protest against action by the powers.
