Official circles here are at a loss to understand on what Naxin Bey. the Paris representative of the Young Turks, could base such a statement as ho la alleged to haTe made In a Budapest newspaper. No euco guaran tee has been given, and It is surmised that la mere the eipresaion of th ontlmistic Impression created on an Eaat era imagination by the presence of tha British fleet in the Aajean Pea.

It is said, alao, that it may be a per version of what Zaxin Bey really said. published to support the anti-British cam paign in Austria, which seeks to show that Great Britain Is trying to innuence Turkey to resist a settlement with Aus tria-Hungary.

The fear that i olorado SoTHbern Rail war would enter New Orleans over the Texas and Pacific main line instead of coming to Ratoa Robt-e to enter over the Illinois ntral lines haa been removed by the announcement thai ao Interlocking device baa been installed at the crossing of the Colorado Northern, and the Texas and raiflc. which Indicates that the road 111 oom into Baton Rouge, as originally intended. A meeting of the directors of the Board of Trade was held last night at the wrd' rooms to hear the proposition of represent a tire of a Chicago newspaper for a commercial writetip of the city in oe of the leading papers of that place. The meeting resulted in the calling of meeting of the entire Board of Directors for the purpose of making the appropriation necessary to defray the expenses of the publication proposed.

Tbe assessment rolls of the parishes of Lafayette and Lafourche haTe arrived, completing the it-essment roll of the Plate received by the Stare Auditor's office. The assessment of the State Is shown to be over 23.nrw.o), but the exact figures have not been reached. Official compilation ill be Bis dp to-morrow. The assessment last year waa about XC.000.ftJO. The weather here la cloudy and warm.

Cot-tosi planters are destroying their stalks and making preparation for an early planting, no as to counteract the presence the toll weevil in these parts. Baton Rouge, Not. 28.

The official com pilation has been made by the Stats Auditor's office of the assessment of th Ptate of Louisiana by parishes. The as sessment shows a valuation of over t523.SiTft.4TR, an Increase of over Iff 7. which will yield to the State, tf all I collected and on a bal of mills, f2.15.0rt. This amount is divided among the general fund, the general engineer fund, the school fund and the interest fund. On the figures above quoted the general fund, from which the general appropriation bill is drawn, would realize This sum is supplemented by the Ftate licenses, all of which go to the general fund.

The exemption from taxation -f the sections affected by overflow, where by legislative enactment the penalties for nonpayment of taxes are not enforceable until Dec. 1, will decrease the reve nues materially and will reduce the figures allowed the general fund in this compilation. There is also to be reckoned on a falling off in the revenues from personal property taxes, which have beeu seriously embarrassed by the delay lu the collection of taxes all over the State by reason of the late date of meeting of the Ftate Board of Equalization and the fact that few if any assessment rolls had been accepted at the time when under the law. these taxes had become delinquent.
