The vessels will prob ably be placed on the New York route as extra boats.

For many years he conducted successfully a book and stationery business on DeX- ter avenue which he sold out to Holt & Crawford in 1892. He shortly afterwards purchased his beautiful truck farm about one mile east of this city, where he has since been living. He was a very pop ular and influential citizen and man or the highest character. By his death tnis community has sustained very heavy loss.

HIS TONGUE COST HIS LIFE.
K I. Dinkins RiddIed by Senator Marshall and His Friends at Brandon, Miss.-A
 Deplorabe Affair.

Jackson, Miss, Aug. 9.-Hon. J. Dab- ney Marshall, senator-elect from Warren and Hinds counties shot and killed R. T. Dinkins of Jackson at Brandon this morning. Marshall and three friends, s. H. Coleman, R. P. Fox and w. P. Valtens, kinsmen and partners of Mar shall, drove to Brandon in a hack and met Dinkins at the depot as he turned a corner of the building, opening fire on him at once and killing him almost in stantly, shooting him fifteen times. Dnlxins was unarmed but grappled Mar sha1lS pistol from him as he fired the first shot. The shooting was caused by a sensational report circulated by Dink- ins. Two weeks ago Dinkins and Mar shall roomed together, but in two beds, at hotel at Raymond, this county. Next morning Dinkins spread report that Marshall had committed an un- mentionable crime upon him. This re- port was damaging, of course, and there was clamor that Marshall be taken off the ticket for state senator. Marshall denounced the report as lie, but Dink- ins stuck to it, and everybody looked for a killing sooner or later Marshall is little fellow, who weighs about seventy five pounds, is highly educated, lawyer and a man of letters, whose family is one of the most prominent in the state, and has host of friends at home and elsewhere. He has served term in the legislature, and was the nominee for f1oater senator for Warren and Hlnds.
 Dinkins family is equally as good. He is a brother of w. l.. Dinkins of Madison, and Cleveland's United States marshal during his first term. and is closely re- lated to many prominent men in the state being cousin to Bishop Charles B. Galloway of this city. The affair is deeply regretted here, where both men are we'll known and highly respected. The body of Denkins was brought to Jackson today.
 Later-Additiona particulars of the sensational killing of R. T. Jenkins at Brandon this morning by Hon. T. Dabney Marshall and three friends from Vicks- burg have been received here by tele- phone from Sheriff Dobson of Rankin. He says Dinkins was shot six times, once in the head once in the arm and four times in the body; that Marshall claimed to have done the shooting, and that all the men, Marshall. Coleman, Fox and Vallors, are in jail. Eye-witnesses say all of them shot Dinkins except Vallors, who claimed he was there in the capacity of attorney. The affair is looked on as cold -blooded assassination.

GOLD SHIPMENTS DECREASE
Treasury Officials Gratifed and Express the Hope That the Tide Will Turn Next
 Month.

Washington, Aug. 9.-Treasury officials were much gratified this afternoon when they learned that no large amount of gold has been withdrawn for shipment tomorrow. The only withdrawal of which the department was notified today amounted to but s212,O0O, but this does not appear in today's statement The recent heavy demand on the reserve showed itself today, the official total of the reserve at the close of business being Si0S, 070,149, as compared with $l04. .11S. .662 yesterday. The actual amount of gold in the treasury today is $151 136 556. of which $9f 614, ,GS0 is in coin and $59, ,521, ,S7S in bull lion. There are, however, SIS, ,066, ,40a of gold certificates outstanding, leaving the free gold as above stated, a trife over $103, 900 000
 Treasury officials express the hope that next month will bring a turn in the tide and the gold will begin to flow to this side of the Atlantic. On the other hand, in other quarters of the treasury there seems to be a feeling that during this month and September there will be un- usually large withdrawals of gold through an organized effort, This fear is based on the assumption that according to the terms of the contract, any bonds offered before October l must first be of fered to the syndicate, and that no such bonds will be offered unless the condi- tions requiring their issuance are forced upon the administration. This idea is not countenanced about the secretarys office. where there seems to be complete satisfaction over existing conditions.

STILL DEADLOCkED.
Mississippi Democrats Cannot Agree on Rail
 road Commissioner.

Jackson, Miss, Aug. 9.-The democratic state convention, which voted for rail- road commissioner till o'clock this morn ing and adjourned till a. m, is still deadlocked on commissioner from the First district and thereis no proba ability of a break. On the twenty-second ballot Ben break. On the twenty-second ballot Ben Exum of Yazoo received 53 votes, Walter Tackett of Holmes 6S, Macl: Lawrence of Warren 54, John MeInnis of Lauderdale ST, all of which are about the same as on the first ballot taken last evening.
 All sorts and kinds of resolutions of a serio-comic nature have been fired at the chairman looking to adjournment or re- versal of the regular order, but are voted down. The convention adopted a resolu- tion to elect commissioners one at a time, and numerous motions to recon slider and elect all three at once have been tabled with a vengeance. But the weather is hot and so are the tired dele gates, and break in some direction will be made today Such a trading, swap ping and scheming lot of delegates was never before assembled in Mississippi.

and I think I can relieve a great many good people by simply stating the facts.
 ''In the first place, the bull fight is not an exhibit, but a part of the midway It is not the suggestion of the exposition management, but originated with coHees- sionaires for the Mexican village. The performance will take place within an enclosure which no one can enter With out the payment of an admission fee, and it will only be seen by those who care to pay for the privilege.
 ''I have recently received humber of letters from persons exercised over this subject. and in almost every instance the correspondent labored under the impress sion that the bulls were to be killed and horses disemboweled. I wish to assure the public that nothing of this kind will be tolerated and that not a drop of blood will be shed.
 'I wish to say further that such rep- resentation of a bull fight is not an ex- pertinent. The thing has been done be- fore and is now being done very success fully in Mexico. It was done in Paris during the last exposition there and gen tlemen of this and other cities are wit nesses of the fact that the performance was harmless, devoid of cruelty and as legitimately historic representation or a tragedy as any performance on the American stage"

THE SUGAR BOUNTY.
Senator Caffrey Endeavors to Make MT.
 Bowler See It.


 Bowler See It.
 Washington, Aug. 9.-Hearing to con vince Comptroller Bowler that he should pay the sugar bounty, as authorized by the last congress, was continued today, Senator Caffrey of Louisiana taking the floor. In opening he said he understood Bowler to maintain that the power to say that a law is no law because ,n- valid for unconstitutionality was lodr-ed in the executive branch of the govern ment, and that an executive officer, by virtue of his office and of the statutes, had the right to question the constitu- tionality of a law.
 MT. Bowler remarked that that view was substantially correct. Senator Caf- frey contended that judicial power was lodged in the judicial department alone, and that the law in question was consti- tutional. Even conceding the act to be unconstitutional, the power of congress to appropriate money was unlimited, especially when that body attempted to repair a wrong or injury inflicted by itself. The government, he said, had been conducted since it's foundation un der the constitution, and no such claim as was now advanced by the comptroller had ever been made before. It was suit between the executive and legislative branches of the government. Any act of the chief of one of the great departments or. one of his subordinate officers was the get of the department itself, and in this case we had the extraordinary spectacle presented of an executive officer trying to lhwart by constitutional doubt the act of the legislative branch. The citizen, and the citizen only, he held, was armed with the power of questioning the con stitutionality of an act and it must be tested in the judicial branch of the gov ernment. It could not be, in the nature l tl1se rf.s@,f l power was vested in the executive branch of the government.
