 The Speaker, a liberal weekly paper, says that MT. Morley will return imme- diately to literary work, of which he has enough to occupy him for year. He will not seek a return to the house or commons until this shall have been 1n- ished.
 The Speaker says it regrets that Sir William Vernon Harcourt, who. defeated at Derby, was subsequently, elected Tor West Monmouthshire, did not adopt similar course; at least that he did not allow himself six months seclusion for self-examnation at his country resi- dence.
 The Daily News says it is desirable that Lord Rosebery should speak out as leader of the liberal party before par lament meets. 1t continues: He was a premier for more than year anu m the ordinary course will be premier again.
 This reflects the mood of the liberals for the present. as 1t is understood that MT. Asquith will resume his barlster practice, which will not leave him time to rally the liberals.
 The attorney general and the legal ad- visors of the government are exercised over a curious state of affairs discovered in connection with the duration of parlia- ment in the event of the queens death. By the act of 1896 1t was provided that parliament should not last more than six months after the demise of the crown. This applied to Scotland and Ireland after they entered parliament of the united kingdom, but the reform franchise act of 1867, enacted that the demise of the crown should not affect the duration of parliament This act applied only to England and Wales. A similar reform franchise act of 1868 was passed for Scot land and Ireland, but does not contain any clause referring to the demise of the crown. Hence in the event of the queens death, Scotland and Ireland would have an election within six months unless par lament should extend the clause of the English act of 1867 to them. In view of the queens age and the size of the pres ent parliamentary majority, indicating that the house will last for several years, the matter becomes of great importance, while the delicacy of the subject makes 1t difficult to immediately adopt an act thereon.

 Jacksonville, Fla, Aug. 3.-George T Bell, night watchman and formerly a member of the police force, shot himself in the head with pistol about 645 this morning at the residence of Samuel w Fox.
 Bell boarded at Fox's house and usually returned home about 6 o'clock in the morning. He had been drinking for sev- eral days, and this morning when he entered the house Mrs. Fox said to him: "Oh. MT Bell. you have been drinking again"
 "Oh, yes" said Bell, I'm drunk again." He then went into the sitting room, and seating himself on lounge pulled out pistol and fonrished 1t around. Bell then came down to Mrs Fox. saying: Come here and sit by me; want to talk to you" Mrs. Fox said, No, have work to do. Besides that, you are too drunk to talk to now. Go to sleep and when you wake up I will talk to you"
 All right" said Bell and placed the pistol to his head and pulled the trigger. Points of excellence of Dr. Prices Bak- ing Powder should appeal to every one who desires the best cooking

As to the Repair of Arms.

The chief of ordnance, United States army, has decided that arms, ordnance stores, etc, can be repaired nd the amount charged against quota of state under the law for arming and equipping the militia the request for such repairs to be made by the governor of the state upon the secretary of war. and upon his approval the work can be done.
 Transportation of such stores to and from the place where they are to be re- paired must be borne by the state, the government having no funds for the payment of such transportation.
 The state has no fund for the purpose either Some way will have to be found out of the difficulty If it is found there Is no law authorizing the cost of trans portation being paid by the state it is probable that members of the different companies will come to the rescue and provide the funds.

 The news has just reached the city that the death of Mrs. Dr. McDade, a beloved lady of Mount Meigs, who died suddenly Wednesday last. was caused from eating poisoned ice cream. The negroes of the neighborhood were having ice cream festivals on Wednesday after noon, and sent Mrs. Dr. McDade plate of cream as a compliment. She was 4 taken violently ill soon after eating 1t and died during the night. Several of the negroes who ate of the cream taken from the same bucket became ill and vomited freely but all of them recovered. Mrs pr. McDade was greatly loved by the negroes, to whom she has been exceed ? ingly kind in times of sickness and want and they are broken-hearted over her un- fortunate death. The supposition IS that the cream became poisoned from the metallic casing of the freezer.

The News at Washington.

Washington, Aug. 3.-What steps the state department will take with reference to the massacre has not been determined, and probably will not be until fuller de- tails are cabled by MT. Denby or Consult Genhral Jerrigan. Immediately upon receipt of the dispatch from the latter Acting Secretary Adee of the state de- partment informed the navy department of the affair, with a view to ascertaining if any United States vessel could reach the scene of the trouble The dispatch from Jernigan gave the name of the place where the massacre occurred as Kuckeng, instead of Kuchen. Neither Kuckeng nor Kuchen could be found on the maps at the state department, but a place called Kiucheng was found, and this is believed to be the correct locali- ty. It is situated on small stream In the middle of China, north Of the Yang Tse Kiang river, and in a position that forbids even the Machias, the smallest United States gunboat on the Aslatic station, from getting within at least 4oo miles.
 The Miss Harlow named in MT. Jurni- gan's dispatch as having been wounded is believed to have been Miss Mabel C. Hartford of Dover. N. H., in charge or the Methodist mission st Kiucheng. Her as sistant is Miss w. H. Rouse and two other Methodist female missionaries. Miss Mabel Allen and Miss Sarah Peters are located at places near by The Church Missionary society has a large mission at Kunpeng, and the five En2ilsh women who were killed are probably at tached to it.
 At the state department it is believed that the massacre is simply the result or another outbreak of fanatcism, such as was rampant during the Chinese-Japan war. The greatest riot at that time against Christians occurred at Cheng-Iu. The American mission buildings there were damaged, but no Americans were killed. Minister Denby protested against the treatment of the Americans at Cheng-Tu and the Chinese government gave satisfactory assurances Of its in tention to punish the offenders and to prevent repetition of the outrages The British missions at Cheng-Tu were also damaged and the British government has just sent one of it's consular officers to make inquiry into the affair with view to demanding damages.

 New York, Aug. 3.-The Morning Jour nal says: Negotiations are said to be pending between President Samuel Spen- cer of the Southern railway and Presi- dent c. F. Huntington of the Southern Pacific company looking to the forma- ton of a traffic alliance and the estab- lishment of an all rail route between Washington and San Francisco. It is stated that J. Pierpont Morgan has given his sanction to the scheme. The South ern Pacific now runs direct line from New Orleans to San Francisco and Pa- cific coast points. It's chief connection for eastern points has been the line of steamers from New Orleans known as the Sunset route" No effort has been spared by the railroad to turn as much as possible of it's eastern freight and passenger traffic to this water route, but shippers and passengers have not focked to the Sunset route" as it was expected, and to prevent this traffic from going and coming via Chicago the new deal is prOpOSed

THE SUGAR BOUNTY.
Commissioner Miller Says the Claims Will
 Be Considered in New Orleans.


 Be Considered in New Orleans.
 Washington, Aug. 3.-Commissioner of Internal Revenue Miller states that there is no misunderstanding between the gov ernment and the Louisiana planters con corning the ascertainment of amounts claimed to be due under the sugar bounty act The commissioner says that no bounty claims have been received at the treasury department and none are ex- pected, as the whole matter is being ad- justed in the collectors office at New Or leans, a special force being put on for the purpose. In regard to fixing the amount due in each instance, MT. Miller says the regulations in force last year were obviously not applicable to present conditions, and a practice was adopted which he considers fair to allaintereSted parties. A conservative estimate places the amount of last years crop already disposed of at between 90 and 95 per cent of the total output. In such cases. Mir. Miller says, the commercial weights ap- pear to be the only basis for determining the actual product In addition, the planters are permitted to attach eaffida- wits of the business managers, foremen or those in charge of their plantations, which are taken into consideration by the collector as cumulative evidence. The weights of the sugar bureau may also be offered as corroborative testimony. When claims are presented upon the or 10 per cent output remaining unsold, the government inspectors make their own tests and secure the weights. The commissioner says that any information made under oath as to the last years product which has been sold may be filed with the claim and will be reviewed with the verification of the quantity of sugar upon which bounty is to be allowed when 1t comes up for adjudication.
