All other tramps do the Same thing
and so it goes. If a tramp goes to

peculiar sign or mark on the fence sig
nitying that everything is all right in
that household. The next tramp sees
the sign and does not hesitate to visit
the house and ask for something to
eat. | q tramp goes to Il house where
there is a bad dog which chases him

others escape. 1t business with

CT was talking was a little dubious of
what he heard, but few days after
wards when he was visited by a half
dozen tramps in one day. he asked une.
OF them how 1T was that so many went

reporter that in looking around his
premises lie had discovered peculiar
marks cut with knife on his fence.
There is II liberal hearted Catholic

from his door without giving him
something. Around his house there
are funny signs A curious fact is that
all the tramps, no matter if they have
just gotten jim town, know that he is
Catholic. The signs tell them so and
enable them To approach him with

they want.

CIGAR MAKERS FROM CUBA.
The order For Their Deportation to
BE Enforced.

Washington. July 2o.-Commissioner
General Stump to-day telegraphed Immi-
grant Commissioner Bethel. at Tampa,
Fla. to at once deport the seven Cuban
cigarmakers now I'm his custody TO cuba.
These men are part Of a lot of so cigar
makers who came from cuba last winter
and were ordered to be deported last
February, because they came TO this
country under contract. They took the
matter into the courts, which decided
that il had no Jurisdiction in the matter,
and that the dictum OF the Secretary
of the Treasury as 10 what constituted
an allen contract laborer was final While
the matter was In the courts the cigar
makers dispersed. and only seven Of the
original 50 have been found. Commis-
sionor Bethel endeavored to carry out
the original order to deport them, but the
Plant Steamship Company. which plies
between Key West. Tampa. and other
Florida ports and Cuba. and which had
originally brought the men to this coun-
try, declined to receive them on board
its vessels.
Mr. Stumps' telegram Of to-day directs
Commissioner Bethel 10 consult with the
United States district attorney of the
Southern district Of Florida and TO put
tho debarrod cgarmakers aboard one Of
the Plant steamers bound for Havana,
II the officers of the vessel decline to re-
ceive them, It having been reported that
they will take that position, then he Is in
structed TO proceed under section 10 Of the
act Of March 3. 1891. This section pro-
Vides that a vessel that brings immigrants
to this country who are subsequently or
dered to be deported, shall, at her own
expense return the debarred immigrants
to the country whence they came.
Upon refusal to do so, the vessel shall
be fined $500 for each immigrant so re-
fused, and unless tho fine or fines are paid
the vessel shall be- refused clearance pa
pers by the collector of customs"
This section of the law. Mr. Stump or
ders. shall be strictly enforced.
Commissioner Bethel is further instruct
ed, II the Plant company make a point of
the fact that the men now ordered de-
ported from Tampa were landed at Key
West, to send them to that port at the
expense OF the Plant company. If they
make the further point that they are alb
solved from the provisions of section 10
from the fact that one year has elapsed
since the men were first landed, to take
the position that he Is carrying out the
order Of deportation OF February last.
Mr.. Stump says he is determined to
enforce the law against contract laborers
at all hazards.

KINDS coUNTY's PRIMARY.
The Election the LiveIiest Expe-
rienced Since 1880.


Jackson. Miss, July 2O.-The primary in
this county to-day was the hottest cleo
tion experienced since 1885, when the ia
nous committee of 100" issued their red
circular ornamented with a grinning skull
and cross bone. and swore their determi-
nation to wrest the reins Of government
of the municipality of Jackson from the
republicans, which they did, the negroes
declining to face Winchester rifles just
for the empty honor of voting. There have
been no Winchesters or other guns to-
day, the big cannon was not even fired
to let the negroes know there was going
to be a fair election" as in olden times
but the scrambling for votes has been the
liveliest ever known among Jackson dem
ocrats. 1t was a mighty struggle for NOM
nations, which are equal to elections, and
every inch Of ground was hotly contested.
The primary was to select candidates
for county officers, to express a choice
for a United States senator to succeed
Senator George, and select delegates In
turn to the state convention. Kinds county
is not greedy a all, but 1t so happens she
has seven candidates for state Offices, and
the contest has been over these latter.
The senatorship has been lost sight of
and votes for senator were eagerly ira
ded for votes to beat constables or mag
lstrates. One-NdI OF the city Is pulling
for Attorney General Johnston to give
him the single shot endorsement Of the
empire county Of Hinds while the other
half is fighting that proposition in the
interest of Gen. Power, candidate for sec
retary Of state. and the chances are about
even.
This having been the home of ex-Con-
gresham Hooker for forty years, it is
probable he carries the county for Uni
ted States senator with the exception of
Gen. Lowrey who is probably second. The
order may be reversed. however, as the
ex-governor is popular with all classes
and has antagonized no faction Of the
party. The county precincts have NOT
been heard from, and nothing definite is
known as to the senator or members of
the legislature. Enough has been learned
though, to indicate that Gov. Stone, the
sound money candidate has been showed
under.
News from other counties Is to the effect
that McLaurin's record is unbroken. Re
has been indorsed for governor in everv
county that has spoken so far, and II he
gins to look ike he will whitewash his
opponent

to Spain for obvious reasons, and to this
government because Il has been unable
10 locate the alleged expeditions or to
prevent their departure from the United
States for Cuba.
The Spanish authorities have indicated
lately, through the press OF that country
and by other means. that Spain would be
perfectly willing 10 pay the S.50000J de-
manded by this government as indemnity
to Maxima Mora if the United States
would make a more thorough effort 10
prevent hlibustering expeditions from
leaving this country to assist the Cuban
Insurgents in their present struggle for
Independence. This government has
strenuously insisted that 10 is doing all
that can be done to enforce the neutrality
laws and cites the proclamation recent
ly issued by the President on the sub
ject as evidence of It's good faith in this
respect. Now, however. since the Span
ish council Of state has decided TO pay the
Mora claim without delay this govern
ment feels that 1t is in the position 10
pay some heed to Spanish Importantly
without seeming to do so condiuOnally
on the payment of the claim. and 1t IL
stated that yesterdays meeting was called
for the purpose of devisius ways and
means to make a more strenuous effort
to satisfy Spain. Mr.. Olney win probably
so at once to Gray Gables and report TO

dicated in the conference Yesterday.

of the sugar planters and all others in
terested in sugar has been called to meet
in this city at the chamber of commerce
