THE community was panied and
surprised to learn this morning of the
death of Mr.. L. E. Clarke, which oc-
Cured just after IL o'clock last night,

was in his sixty-frst year, and had
been prominent as merchant and
planter for many years. His health
had not been good for some time, but
his friends at large had no idea of i'm
mediate danger. The funeral takes
place tomorrow from his late resi-
dence, at 10 am. Services will be
conducted by Rev. E. M. Richardson.
Mr.. Clarke was born in Northampton,
Mass, in 1920, and was left an orphan
at the age of fifteen. He came south
a poor young man to seek his fortune,
and taught school for a short time at
Grand Gulf, Miss; then went into
business there for a year or two. About
forty years ago he removed to Mem
phis. His business career here is
we'll known. He made two or three
fortunes, and leaves a handsome prop
erty. He illustrated in a long and
honorable career what can be accom-
plished by fair dealing, decision Of
character, and fixed purpose in life.

The injured Mr.. Dorsey, after rest
ing under charges for many months,
has at last discovered that somebody
has been talking about him, and has
addressed Postmaster General James
a note on the subject, in which he
says:
make no complaint that you have
not up to this time deemed it proper
TO deny the published statements
which make the charges alluded to ap-
pear as if they were the result of in-
vestigation by you, but | claim as a
right that, with me and whoever l
may bring to you, you make such in
vestigation as to every contract with
which my name has been connected as
will enable you to give me in writing
the true status of each case. / have
to ask that this request be granted at
once, in order that | may not rest
under injurious and unjust imputa-
tions, nor be unnecessarily detained
from other business to defend my rep
utation against base and unfounded
assaults.
This is about the vaguest and most
evasive denial we have ever seen in
print. 1T must be matter Of great
Importance to the country and seen to
that Mr.. Dorsey be not detained from
his business by any foolishness like
the proposed investigation. 1t must
also be understood that General James
has not made these charges, and has
only refrained from denying them be
cause they were not worthy of notice
However, Mr.. Dorsey claims that if
any investigation is to be made he and
whoever he may appoint shall make it
jointly with General James. That is
to say, the thief is to be sent out with
a dark lantern to look after the plum
der he hid in the bushes. Il is quite
likely that he would bring in a big
haul if he could find it.

BY CABLE.

LONDON, May3.-Negotiations fora
new Anglo French commercial treaty
begin to attract great attention. The
existing treaty will expire in Novem-
Der, and if anew treaty is not conclu-
ded and ratified between now and the
dissolution of the chamber of depu-
ties England will in November be
confronted with the general tariff,
which will be almost prohibitory.
Here it means only self protection.
There will be retaliatory duties on
French wines, brandy, silk, and arti-
cles de Paris. The French, although
apparently anxious to make a new
agreement, insist strongly upon the
abolition Of ad valorem duties. Such
persistency endangers the whole
scheme of the treaty, as specific duties
are believed by England to bear un-
fairly upon wool and cotton piece
goods, which are the largest English
exports.
LONDON, May 3.-A dispatch from
Berlin says: while the czar remains
in retirement at Yatschina, the i'm
placable enemies Of his government
are as dangerously busy as ever. Ru-
morS and reports of daring operations
by nihilists in disseminating manifes-
tos conveying warnings to the czar
continue to reach here. On Sunday
last the police OF st. Petersburg were
engaged in searching for mines near
the Seminoffsky bridge, though
nothing seems to have been found.
The social and political atmosphere
at st. Petersburg is growing thicker
and thicker, and is fraught with omens
of another approaching storm. Pri-
vate letters received here, describe
the city as like gloomy prison house
where little is heard of the outside
world, and everybody lives in a con-
stant state of suspense. The chief
journals still appear with mourning
borders.
The Daily News says: If we are
correctly informed, Bismarck, or who
ever is striving to bring about con-
ference for the purpose of devising a
more stringent mode of dealing with
political conspirators, has sent an in
vitation to England, and has thus i'm
prudently invited a refusal, as Eng
land, following the example of France,
will certainly not participate in any
conference designed to shield unpop-
ular governments from the conse-
quences of their unpopularity.
BERLIN, May 3.-The statement of
the Imperial bank of Germany shows
a decrease in specie of 2,6SO,OOO marks.

ROUMANIA'S KING.
A Grown and SceP1re of Steel
Made from Turkish Guns.

BUCHAREST, April 29.-King
Charles has declined the jeweled
crown which it was proposed to order
for the coming coronation and which
was to cost half million francs. His
majesty expressed wish that crown
of steel, made from the Turkish guns
captured by the Roumanians at Plev-
ma, be used instead. A sceptre will
be made Of the same material after a
model belonging to a Wallachian hero
Of the sixteenth century. The cere-
mony will be confined to the presenta-
tion of the crown. The king will not
be anointed, doubtless because he con-
siders that, being a constitutional
monarch, there should be no outward
emblem of divine right in the cOrpor-
alton.

THe FLOOD DENIED.
Citizens OfDakOta Declare IL was
Only a Light Shower.

CHICAGO, May 3.--A number of the
leading citizens of Fargo, Dakota, have
united in dispatch to the Western
associated press which states that
they wish to contradict the impression
which has been spread abroad that
their section of country, as well as
southern Dakota, has been visited by
a food or that they are in need of as
sistance. Neither the Red river,
the Cheyenne, the James, OF
any of the smaller streams or that the
water of Red river valley and north
Dakota have overAowed their banks,
Seeding has been in active progress
for ten days past in every portion Of
north Dakota. From Red river to the
western limit Of wheat culture and
from the forty-sixth parallel of lati-
tude to the international line the
weather has been most favorable, and
already the greatest confidence exists
as to the future coming crops.
