THE SENATORIAL RACE.
Colonel Hooker, the Gold Candidate Will Have but Six VoteS-Some Silver Man
 Will Win.

Jackson Miss. Oct. 16.-Col H. D. Money, candidate for the United States senate, was in the city today, and in an interview with the Southern Associated Press reporter as to the claim that the silver craze is dying out" declared he had seen no evidence of it, that no ad- vocates of the free coinage of silver had changed his sentiment in the past few months, so far as he was able to dis cover.
 Colonel Money thinks his chances for the senate good and his friends avert that he has more instructed votes than the other candidates and that when the caucus meets he will have the largest vote.
 Governor .Lowrey's friends say that he will have more counties in the caucus when it meets than either of the other aspirants and that he will lead his com petitorS.
 Private John Aliens supporters con tend that he is the coming man, that he has several large counties and when the count is had in the caucus he will be close up with the foremost.
 Colonel Rockers supporters declare that he is an old stager with most eX- cellent drawing capacity, and has as .good chance as any.
 Governor Stone, the only "sound money" candidate in the race, is without hope and will not receive six votes, possi- bly, none in the caucus.
 The situation is mixed and uncertain as between the four able gentlemen first mentioned.

SOUTH CAROIINA'S CONVENTION.
The Question of Intermarriage of Races Is
 Worrying Them. z

Columba, s. C., Oct. 16.-The constitu- tional convention wrangled over three hours today on several small amend ments of several sections of the legisla- tive articles relating to the abolishing of special legislation for the incorpora-. ton of cities, towns, etc. Senator Till- man presented aasection providing that the legislature should in the year 1896 submit to the people the question of hold ing a constitutional convention and do likewise every twentieth year there-- after, allowing a majority vote to call the convention. It was voted down by a vote of 65 to AZ. -
 Before the recess the convention adopt ed section prohibiting the intermarry- ing of a white person with person hav- ing any negro blood whatever. The mat ter was reopened today and Judge Frazer offered to further amend by adding the words to maintain the status of many families in this state tainted slightly with negro blood. Some strong speeches were made, and finally the section, with the amendment, was recommitted to the committee. George Tillman made pow erful speech mainta; ing that instead of the phrase, Any negro blood" the words, "one-eighth negro blood" should be used fI1tss tff

Joseph Pulitzer and Colonel Jones Having 6
 High Old Time.

St. Louis, Oct. 16-As result of legal differences between Joseph Pulitzer and Col. Charles H. Jones, in control of the Post-Dispatch, the special service which existed between the New York Herald and the Post-Dispatch was suspended last week. This service consisted of news proofs, illustrations, correspond ence, etc, together with special wire from New York to St. Louis. This ac- ton, it was stated, was taken by Pulitzer in order to get even for the temporary re- straining order which Colonel Jones had secured to prevent the former from inter- fering with the latter's editorial policy and management. In retaliation today Colonel Jones set the official guilotine in operation and the figurative heads of the managing editor Florence D. White; Ad- vertising Manager William Steigers and Cashier Edward Buttell dropped into the basket. As White is trea surer of the company and his signature is necessary on check to negrottdte it's payment al a bank. some interesting complications are looked for.

AMERICAN SHIPPING
Should Have Protection in Foreign Trade, Says
 the Farmers Congress.

Atlanta, Ga., Oct. 16.-The most im- portant work of the Farmers National congress today was the adoption of reso- lutions in favor of protection to Ameri- can shipping in foreign trade, and to cotton, corn, wheat and other agricul- tural staples. a portion of which is ex- ported. The resolutions recite that a tariff on imports cannot protect exports and that American ships in foreign trade being built of partly protected material likewise at a disadvantages with ships owned and operated in free trade and cheap labor countries, that so long as protection is the public policy of the nation it should be extended to agricul- tural staples by an export bounty and American shipping by a bounty on ton mage or by differential duty in favor of American vessels. The resolutions were adopted unanimously.

 Ellis was then mutilated and hanged to a telegraph pole. with this placard on his breast: No one must remove this body until sundown, under pain of death."
 Later the mob took it down and sent the decapitated head to the family of a young girl whom Ellis attempted to as sault in north Mississippi four days ago. Ellis stated that he expected to suffer death for his crimes, and showed no fear for the fate in store for him. The more conservative of the mob wanted to con tent themselves by mere hanging, but bad whisky got the upper hand of the younger element and they took part in the mutilation. No one wore a mask.

 Couldn't Open It.

None of the passengers or crew were molested A posse is now in pursuit of the bandits.

A Steamship Line Withdrawn.

Washington, Oct 16.-The state depart ment has received from B. B. Seal, Tinted States consular agent at Blue fields. Nicaragua, a report relative to the withdrawal of the Morgan line of steamships from that port, which shows that the Morgan company was not satis- fled with it's treatment by the Nicaragua government MT. Seal learned from the agent of the company at Bluefelds that after the company had entered prompt steamer service between Bluefields and New Orleans for eight years, and after having contributed so literally to the deyelopment of trade and improvement of the country the government of Nica- rague had manifested a want of appre- citation of its efforts, and that in view of the company's losses on fruit during the past year the company thought it best to withdraw it's ships and seek service where it can secure greater encourage ment and have the prospect of adequate remuneration for services rendered. MT. Seal reports a rumor that the Rama and Bluefields Agricola company, composed exclusively of Nicaraguans. has been ex- empted from the payment of duties on fruit shipped by that company. The ex- port duties on bananas shipped from Bluefields to the United States between January and July 1. 1895, amounted to $35 000 Nicaraguan currency. or about s17 300 in gold.

Miss Thomas, Two Popular Young So- ciety People, Will w ed in Alex
 ander City Thursday.

Montgomery, Oct 6.-(Special)-The topic of the day is the recent prize fight or sparring match, and the town is all agog about it. As stated in special to the State Herald at the time, Mike Cal ahan of Pensacola and Joe Ullman, in- structor of the athletic club here, met in the clubs rooms here and fought to fin- ish last Monday night. It was announced that it would be match for points. but it was whispered around that there would be some lively fighting done. and about 100 men paid s2 to see the fun.
 Ullman did practically all of the hitting for the first five rounds and bets on his winning seemed to be safe, although Cal ahan's friends covered all that were of fered. By the sixth round it appeared that all bets had been made that would probably be made, and Callahan, without further ado, delivered a strong blow on Ullman's neck, knocking him down and leaving him there until after time had been called.
 Many think the fight was a fragrant vi- olation of the law. The Advertiser says edtorially that the fight was as certainly violation of the law as the Corbett-Fitz- simmons fight would be if held in Ala bama, the difference being in degree, though not in kind
 The street talk before and since the fight was that the contest was for $500 a side and the gate receipts. The contest ants and their friends deny that this is true, however. They say that the bout was purely a friendly and a scientific one; that six ounce gloves were used and that the floor was cushioned in such a way as to absolutely prevent the men from injuring each other materially. They claim-and it cannot be contradict ed-that no blood was spilled and no bruises of consequence were received. The town recorder and several police off, cers were present and they did not see fit to call the fight off, nor to make any ar rests. The grand jury, however Is in ses- sion and the facts in the matter have been brought to it's attention. The result Is awaited with great interest.
 It is stated tonight that both of the fighters have left the city. Callahan for California and Ullman for Louisville. It is probable the latter will return in due time.

Montoomerv Is for O.Brien.

Capt. Frank OBrien's friends here have heard with a good deal of pleasure that he is to be a candidate for sheriff of Jefferson county. Captain O'Brien was raised in Montgomery, and almost any body here is his friend. His honest and patriotic conduct while in the legislature here as Jeffersons representative was very gratifying to them. and they feel a great interest in seeing him elected to the s1hrevalty of Jefferson. if he wants it. A man who is conspicuous in the politics of Alabama remarked today: "lf the citizens of Montgomery had a vote. Frank would win in a walk"
