Platform Of the Prohibition Party of Mis-
sissippi, Adopted at jackson, June

sissippi, Adopted at jackson, June
9th. 1894.
The Prohibition Party of Mississippi,
ing Almighty God as the source of all
true government and His law as the
standard to which human enactments
must conform to secure the blessings
Of peace and prosperity, present the
following declaration of principles:
LIST, We declare our allegiance to the
National Prohibition party and re-af-
firm our endorsement of the National
platform adopted at Cincinnati June
Both, 1892.
End, AS the ballot is the bulwark of
the peoples liberties, we favor an in
telligent standard of suffrage and hon
esty and purity in all elections by the
people, and demand that all parties
shall be fairly represented on election
boards in this State.
3rd, We condemn, in unmeasured
terms, the spirit of mob violence which
prevails in this and other States, where
by many citizens have been put to a
cruel and speedy death without the
benefit of Judge or jury or the oppor-
tunity to prove their innocence as
guaranteed to them by the Constitu-
ton of the United States
4th, We demand the repeal of the
United States Internal Revenue law au
thorizing the issuance of Government
permits for the sale of liquor in Prohi-
bition territory.
9Th, In view of the serious and
alarming industrial and financial con-
ditions of the country, we deem the
settlement of the currency question in
in accordance with the principles laid
down by the Prohibition party of ur-
gent concern, second only in impor-
lance to the suppression of the liquor
traffic itself. 1.-THE money of the coun-
try should consist ofgold, silver and pa
per, and be issued by the General Gov
eminent only, and in sufficient guam
THY to meet the demands of business
and give full opportunity for the en-
ployment of labor. To this end an in
crease in the volume of money is de-
manded. No individual or corpora
ton should be allowed to make any
profit through it's issue. 1t should be
made legal tender for the payment of
all debts, public and private. It's vol
ume should be fixed at definite sum
per capita and made to increase with
our increasing population.
RESOLUTION.
Resolved, That we cannot too Sc
verely condemn the action of Missis-
sippi's Congressman in the House of
the 5lst Congress, every one of whom,
except Hon. Clarke Lewis Of the 4th
District, opposed the passage of the
Wilson original package bill, whereby
it was sought to prevent the nullif1ca-
ton of all the Prohibition laws in this

U1NSCOU ESTATE.
A Contest Over a Bill for the Rent of I

Contest Over Bill for the Rent of a Lot
 Attorneys Newton and Goodhart the committee on the estate of the late Captain H. IL Hanscom by the probate court, are considering many claims filed against it. A bill was put in yes terday by MT. Henry Konold the coal dealer. for $4,l0O for the rent of piece of land near the shipyard. The land was to be used for storing lumber and Hanscom agreed to pay 80 a month The land had been used for twelve years and Konold had never received 8 cent for it.
 He had never had a lease made, but five or six years ago he had asked Hanscom for the rent and the captain had smiled and said he would pay him some time. The heirs of the estate will claim that the land in question is under water most of the time and unavailable fer the purpose claimed by MT. KOnolG. The committee and the attornies will visit the premises tomorrow and see if Konold's claim is valid. If allowed it would take a big slice out of the $l5000 estate.
 W. C. Brown, one of the nearest heirs, is administrator of the estate. and is contesting all claims against it.

 That He Had Examined the Laws and
 That He Would Oppose Any Attempt to
 PIace the County Under Martial Law
 Glove Contest Insisted .on by the Gov
 ernor.
 Hot Springs, Ark, Oct. 16.-A confer ence regarding the proposed fight took place here this afternoon, Governor Clark, Judge Duffie, Sheriff Houpt State Attorney League, the citizens comfnit- tee and their legal representative par ticipating. Newspaper men were eX- cluded.
 A member of the conference stated af- ter adjournment at 5;30 that the soVer" nor had agreed to leave the whole mat ter to the local authorities and the lat ter had assured him that there would be no prize fight, but glove contest as indicated in the revised agreement
 He stated that the government gave him positive assurance that if there was no law to prevent glove contests, and'if Ollly q SlONt NOIlNC6l W et9 SOiItCiiP iPlNbSNJ he would not invade the city with an armed force to prevent it.
 Another member of the conference committee stated that he could only re- port progress of favorable nature at
 the time of adjournment. The gover- nor's views had undergone a change, caused iby more thorough understand ing of the intentions of the principals. The program is now to make a test case by causing the arrest tomorrow of Ma her and O'Donnell, who are both in near proximity to the city. They will be placed under bonds to keep the peace. They will refuse to give bonds and will go to jail when a writ of habeas corpus will be sued out and they will be taken before Chancellor Leatherman for trial. Colonel Sumpter a church member, and most active in opposing the mill, said tonight that he in company with Judge Hutchins had examined the stat utes and found that there is no law against prize fighting and that he would oppose any attempt that might be made | to place the county under martial law
 for the purpose of expressing some thing that was not in violation of any | law He was assured by the governor 1 that there would be no troops sent to Garland county but the governor would insist there should be nothing more than 1 a glove contest
 Prior to the holding of the conference | Governor Clark was given a hearty re- ception by the citizens. He greeted
 them cordially and expressed sympathy
 with the condition of the people and a | desire to do everything lie could to as
 sist them out of their financial embar-
 rassments, but he said he could not al
 low the laws to be violated to allow l them to prosper.

GREAT srEAMsnIps RAGING.
St. Louis and Majestic Fighting for Mail
 Carrying Privileges.


 The new American liner St, Louis and the White Star line steamship Ma jestic started yesterday on a voyage which promises to be most interesting. The New York Evening Sun says; While neither of the companies will admit it, there is no SGubt that the two steamships intend to race across the Atlantic, Each will try to land it's mail first in London, and that steamship which Is successful will unquestionably receive henceforth the greater part of the foreign mail
 That the postottice authorities have confidence in the St. Louis is shown by the fact that they have intrusted to her double the amount of mail which the Majestic carries. The superintend- ent of foreign mails said this morn ing:
 We had, approximately speaking, about 750 bags of mail to send to the other side. Five hundred of these we have given to the St. Louis and the remaining 250 to the Majestic.
 "We would not have done so had we not believed that the St. Louis was capable of landing the mail in London first. On the voyage across the ocean the American boat is none the slower. and it takes her only three hours to get her mail from Southampton to Lon don. On teh other hand while the Majestic will probably reach Queens town, where she lands her mail, before the St, Louis reaches Southampton, it will take her nineteen hours to get her mail from there to London. While I do not know that the steam ships intend to race across, there is no doubt that they will try one before the other to get their mail in Lon don"
 The St. Louis sailed al Il o'clock this morning The Majestic will not sail un- l til 3 o'clock this afternoon. The St. Louis has to steam some 275 miles more than the Majestic, but as | has the advantage on the railroad jour- | ney.
 "The records of the two steamships are: st. Louis, to Southampton, days, 13 hours, 25 minutes; Majestic, to Queenstown, days, 23 hours, 16 min utes
 With one exception, the Fuerst Bis marck, the St. Louis holds the record | to Southampton. Her average time | for the last three trips is 6 days and l 21 hours, and it is upon that record that | the postoffice officers think she is go- 1 ing to land her mail in London ahead of the White Star flyer.

REFUSED TO CHANGE TITLE
ATTACR MADE ON THE MESSAGE
 FROM HOUSE OF BISHOPS.

The Episcopal Convention at Minneapolis
 Takes Vote, After Debate, on the
 Change of the Title Page of the Book of
 Common Prayer aud Decides to Adhere
 to the old Form.
 Minneapolis, Oct 16.-When the house of deputies of the Episcopal convention reassembled this morning the joint com-
 mittee appointed to consider the valid- ity of the order of the church in Sweden presented report setting forth reasons why no minister of the Swedish church
 should be allowed to officiate in any
 church under American Jurisdiction.
 The matter went on the calendar.
 Another attack upon the present title ot the denomination made Itself mani- fest in the presentation of a report from
 the committee to consider the message from the house of bishops recommend-
 ing that the titlespage of the book of common prayer be changed by the oms-
 sion of the words According to the use of the Protestant Episcopal church in the United States of America" and the substitution of the words According to American use" There was a minor- ity report signed by J. Pierpont Morgan of New York, Messrs. Riddle and Blanchard of Philadelphia, and Perkins of Kentucky, in which the proposed change was characterized as a virtual reopening of the subject of prayer book revision, which has already been set- tied, and therefore unwise and to be deprecated as calculated to alarm the members of the communion.
 A disposition to cut off debate on the issue was manifested by the delegates, and after Dr. Faude of Minnesota had characterized the proposal as one of bad faith, and Dr. Groton of Rhode Isl- and had spoken to the same effect, a vote by dioceses and orders was taken.
 It resulted: Clerical vote-Ayes 19, nays l 30, divided 3. Lay vote-Ayes F, nays 30, divided 4.
 The house refused again to change the title of the church as designated in the prayer book and the formal resola- tion of non-concurrence by the bishops was adopted by a large majority on a viva voce vote.

Some Criticisms by Colonel Doherty.

Some Criticisms by Colonel Doheriy.
 Waterbury, Oct 16.-Colonel John B. Doherty, who was chief marshal at the Odd Fellows dedication exercises hera yesterday, tonight gave an interview in which he took severely to task the Odd Fellows who deserted the parade be- cause it rained. He said:
 Much to my surprise and annoyance the cantons which immediately follow ed the chief marshay and his staff in the parade yesterday dropped out when the first rain fell. When East Main street was reached they deserted in q body and sought shelter in the Second regiment armory. The cantons are the military branches in the order and as such it had been supposed by me that they would have regard for military regulations. I intended to carry that parade over the line of march which had been prepared. We were we'll stari- ed and it would not have been seri- ous hardship if the men had remaineG in the line. As it was, l, my stan anu the Second regiment band of New Ha- ven were all that remained of the par ade. and so I dismissed it. It seems to me altogether strange and remarka- ble. aside from the annoyance to mes that military men should be frightened by a driZZling rain"
