NetcS:-James M. Campbell died on
the 3Oth of April, at Fort Macsn, Flor
ida, while on his way TO his home in
the North, of complication of gastric
troubles, from which he had been a suf-
ferer for several years past. He was a
native of New Hampshire, and at an
early age eylnced taste and capacity for
literary pursuits. At the age of 2l he
came South to Fredericksburg. Virginia.

would be better for his health. He first
taught school, but within year founded

went North, after seven years. during
which he had proved his exceptional fit
ness Tor the position of newspaper con-
ductor. He retired upon a farm, but it
has been well said that printers ink will
not wash of, and he was soon persuaded
to establish a Democratic paper at
Manchester, n. H., the Union Democrat.
which he edited with conspicuous ability
Tor twenty-five years, closing his connec-
tiOn with it and with newspaper life in
1876, on account Ofimpaired health. due to
close application. AS politician he was
far-seeing and sagacious to an eXtraordi-
nary degree, and left his mark upon ma
t1onal as well as State affairs. The nomi-
nation of General Pierce for the Presi-
dency was ascribed to his influence upon
the Virginia delegation in the convention.
Holding positive convictions, he respected
the sincere bellefOf his political opponents.
and did not hesitate to rebuke publicly
any abuses or mistakes occurring
within his own party. AS writer, he
was forceful and pungent, mastery in
the use OF language, yet ALWAYS cOur-
teous. His advice was sought in all mat
ters affecting the interests of his party
and though not always followed, was
nearly always ultimately found to be
judicious. He was loved and respected
by political foes as we'll as friends. and
no charge of selfish aims was ever brought
against him, as he Stunned nOtoriety and
preferment. For the past six years he
had been a resident of Florida, giving his
time to the development of an orange
grove near Apopka, and writing occasional
articles for many of the leading papers
of the country. He inherited a taste for
out-of-dOOr life, and found genuine pleas
ure in the pioneer life of a settler in the
unbr0ken forest. He had the satisfaction
OF seeing a thrifty settlement, mainly
composed of Northern people grow up
around him, which was christened Merrl-
mack. He received benefit from the in
vigOrating life in the piney woods, but his
disease had secured too firm a hold to be
shaken off. His age was GO. Personally

Before Jay Gould started on his trim
West and South he is said to have nract[
cally completed an arrangement with the
persons who control the East Tennessee
Virginia and Georgia system. whereby
that system was to become part of what
is commonly spoken of as the Gould
southwestern system. A pretty well au.
thentlcated report was circulated yes
terday that, as one Of the pre-
liminary conditions to Mr.. GouId's
plan it was proposed to consoIi-
date the East Tennessee, Virginia
and Georgia, the Memphis and Charles
ton and the Norfolk and Western Rail-
roads. The scheme announced was that
100 shares of new stock would be issued
in exchange for 200 shares of the East
Tennessee preferred, or 500 shares of the
East tennessee common, 400 shares OF the
Memphis and Charleston and 100 shares
of the Norfolk and Western. Income
bonds were also 10 be issued in exchange
for stock. BY this arrangement the
capital stock of the three roads would be
greatly reduced and the probability Of
greater profits increased by combining
the roads under one management. This
would also give Gould a continuous line
from the Mississippi to the Atlantic
ocean: Inc Memphis and Charleston
Road is 2O2 miles long. and is now ope.

part of the stock is owned in this city, and
these holders are able TO begin a
suit to nullify the lease on the
ground that it is fraudulent. Ono
OF the owners said to Times

Southwest system in time, but he did not
think anything could be done in the mat

All who have been guests of this hotel
are in one accord in ascrlbing praise to

roundings. Our place presents attrac.
tive features to our visitors from
the snow banked and ice capped
regions of the North, and our resources OF
amusement being so varied and delight

sort is brought before the public.
The Amelia beach, known far and wide
to be the finest on the Atlantic coast. Is
one OF the attractive features. On the
beach within the sight of the mighty deep
and the hearing of the music of Its waters
is erected the Strathmore Hotel. which Is
now open for the reception of guests. 1t

Still Waging Determinedly,

Still Waging DeterminedIy.
PITTsBURG, May 3.-The iron manufac-
turers and the Amalgamated Association
conference committees met this afternoon
for the purpose of arranging a scale of
wages for the ensuing year. 1t is impos-
sible to predict the outcome of the meet
ing, as both sides refuse to talk upon the
subject, but it is generally believed that
it will result in a strike.
This afternoon an official call for an
Interstate convention of miners, to be
held here on May 10, was issued.
The printers OF this city, connected with
the knights of Labor, have presented the
yearly scale of wages demanded in the
offices of the Dispatch, Commercial, Ga
zette, Times, Telegraph and Chronicle.
The scale maintains last years rate, but
demands that weekly men be dispensed
with in newspaper offices. The middle of
the present month is the time at which
the scale goes into effect.
The condition of the tanners and plas-
terers' strikes is unchanged.
A second conference of the iron manu-
facturers and the Amalgamated AssOcia-
tiOn committees was held this evening. 1t
lasted only fifteen minutes. President
Jarrett, on behalf Of the wOrkmen, stated
iIIb liO IGuuCllOll III wages WOulU Dp
accepted. The manufacturers made no
response, but moved to adjourn sine
die, which was done. Both committees
held secret meetings later, but declined
to divulge the proceedings. The work
men profess to believe that the manufac-
turers will withdraw their demand for a
reduction before June, and that no strike
Will enSue. The manufacturers state that
the workmen are mistaken, and that if a
H.. -. .r,EE
accepted the mills will shut down June
first, and remain so until the workmen
come to terms. The manufacturers free
ly state that they expect the strike and
have booked no orders for delivery after

lie is gloomy.

Crook in Mexico.

LtUtS6-CtlT.
General Crooks expedition in the heart
of the Sierra Madre Mountains of North
ern Mexico is notable as one of the bold
est military movements ever undertaken
against hostile savages. The Cihricahua
Apaches number about 200. The noun
tains where they are supposed to be hid.
ing are 250 miles from the Mexican bor-
der, and in the entire region no wagon
roads and but few trails are to be found.
Nosupplles whatever can be gathered from
the territory to be tTaYersed, and il is so
full of obstacles even to horsemen that
most of General Crooks force will make
the long journey on foot. His fighting
force consists of only 80 men all told-50
cavalry men and 200 Apache warriors
The Chiricahua hostiles are described as
powerfully built, with fighting qualities
of superior order, and their leaders are
among the most quick-witted and able
Indians of the Southwestern tribes.
The San Carlos Apaches are regarded
as the nearest approach to the Chiri-
cahuas in warlike qualities. General
Crook has secured the flower of this
tribe. They desperately hate the renegade
Chlricahuas, and appear to have great
love for and confidence in Crook. and
upon them he relies for the success Of the
expedition. While the General trusts
these warriors implicitly, it is said
tnat 1rOntlersmen nave no faith in this
policy OF employing Indians to fight In
dians. They do not believe that an armed
Apache can be trusted by anyone, at any
time, or under any circumstances.
"They also profess to believe" says a
writer at Gen. Crooks headquarters at
Wilcox, Arizona, " that the Generals
life and that of every white man accom-.
panying him will not be worth bargaining
for after they reach the seclusion of the
Mexican mountains" No doubt General
Crooks opinion on this point is better
than that of the average frontiersman,
and as he has expressed feeling of per-
feet security, there would seem to be no
occasion for public anxiety, Eeverthe-
less, an expedition into such a country,
with such a contingent, against almost as
numerous a band Of desperate marauders,
must be deemed a remarkably bold and
very hazardous undertaking.

CITY OF MEXICO, May 3.-The govern
ment has made contract with Buette,
Gaze e. Co., of France, for harbor i'm
prOvements at Vera Cruz. The northwest
breakwater is to be completed in five
years and all the work is to be finished in
twelve years. The government will pay
the contractors 1904, 900 Mexican silver
dollars, in weekly payments of $4,000 as
the work proceeds. The same contractors
are constructing a canal in Franco from
Havre to Tancarville. They are repre-
sented here by NJ. Theirs, a prominent
engineer, and the Councillor General in
France.
Telegraphic advices from london state
that the holders of Mexican bonds were to
meet yesterday SenOr Carlos Rivas, who
represents the interest of the Mexican
Government, having arrived there.
The Official Journal, in connection with
the proposed foreign loan. defends vigOr-
Ously the financial policy of the govern
ment maintaining that it wOuM be false
economy to suspend productive public
works, especially the Tehuantepec Rail
road, which is of national Importance and
making satisfactory progress since the
government undertook its construction.
The Official journal doubts that eX-
President Diaz condemns the Mexican
colonization system in the terms attribu-
ted to him in an interview recently pub
lished.

SAN FRANCISCO, April 3.-The steamer
Grappler was burned four miles off Sey-
mour Narrows on Sunday night. The fire
was discovered by the engineer and i'm
mediately reported to the Captain. One
hundred passengers We're aboard, princi-
pally Cinnamon, and all were in bed.
The engineer started the donkey engine
aud connected the hose. BY this time the
passengers were warned and the excite
ment was intense. The Cinnamon
behaved like maniacs and were utterly
uncomfortable. They seriously impeded
the action of the officers. The Captain
ordered all shot who refused to obey or
ders. Notwithstanding this the China
men rushed backward and forward on the
vessel till it was found necessary to
knock some down and carry them be-
low. Others were put in irons. The
fire was gaining, and efforts for
its control were unavailable. The Captain
ordered Private Franklin to head the
steamer for Vancouver shore and beach
her. AS soon as the sand was struck
boats were lowered, but the Cinnamon
jumped pell nell into the boats and
swamped them. Owing to the intense
smoke, those who could swim did not
know in which direction to strike out,
and surrounded by mass of struggling
Chinamen they We're drowned.
