The following letter was read before the
meeting of the democratic executive COM
mittee this afternoon, but the suggestions
did not meet with favor, a resolution being
adopted declining the fusion: Grenada,
Miss, Sept MIR Dear Mr. Roame: An
swering your request for my opinion, with
permission to use it before your commit
terest of the democratic party in the
matter of proposition from the people S
party, as they style themselves, for a
fusion electoral ticket l give you my
Judgment for whatever 1t may be worth
While the proposed arrangement is not
necessary to the success of our ticket in
Mississippi, its effect would be benefi-
cial in other states where fusion may be
necessary But l favor it for another rea-
son. Very many of the rank and file of
this new party as 1 believe, are demo-
cratic at heart and would gladly avail
themselves of this opportunity to have
their former party relations restored with
those from whom they have been estrang
ed by influences and arguments which
now have lost much of their force. This
arrangement will tend to promote this end
and may result in future political good
in our state. True, some of those electors
may vote for Watson. and the effect may
be to throw the election in the Senate, but
as the choice there must be between the
two highest candidates, as 1 assume
Sewall and Hobart will be, the Senate, as
now organized, may be relied on, think,
to choose the former. ] agree to the use
of this letter as you suggest.

LAMoNT'S BOLT.
Democratic Managers Discounted
It-IivingstOn Confident.

Washington, Sept. 1O.-The democratic
managers here are not frightened at the
announcements made by Secretaries La
mont and Francis that they propose to
support the Indianapolis ticket instead OF
Bryan and Sewall.
The letter of Secretary Lamont did NOT
excite any comment at democratic head
quarters to-day. Chairman Faulkner and
National Committeeman Clark Howell, de-
clined to discuss the letter, presuming that
the course taken by Secretary Lamont
had been expected on all sides. They did
not see that anything the secretary might
say would weaken their cause in any
way.
Col. Fl. o. Towles, who was the secre-
tary of the democratic bi-metallic league
while it had headquarters here, and who
is now connected with the national head
quarters at Chicago. was a prominent Wis
itor to-day, and his mission was looked on
by good many as an important one. He
had talk with the democratic managers.
Representative Leonidas Livingston
was another caller and was full of en-
thusiasm. Col. Livingston declared that
Georgia would go democratic in the com
ing election by from 10000 to 65,000 His
opinion of the situation in other southern
states was asked, and he said: 'sThe only
two states in the south where the dem
ocrats Will have to do any work are North
Carolina and Kentucky. If a fusion is
arranged in North Carolina, as it is
hoped, there win not be the slightest dan
ger to the Bryan ticket. They will win
by large majority. Kentucky viii be
close but think the state will go dem
ocratic by from 5000 to 10000"
AS to the middle western states, Col.
Livingston is enthusiastic in his belief
that Ohio and Illinois will give BRYAN big
majorities. He is even hopeful of New
York state, and says that the democratic
party could afford to lose several southern
states and would win with ease without
them, although he knows there is no dan
ger of the south being broken this time

The fire is thought to have been caused
by either naphtha or coal oil being spilled
in the coal bin. This oil was ignited
either by heat from the boilers, or a
spark dropping from a passing candle or
lantern. The officers Of the cruiser say

DIXIE's GRAIN EXPORTS.
Large Increase In the Shipments
For the Year Just Closed.


Baltimore, Md, Sept 1O.-The Manufac-
turers' Record publishes this week statis-
tics of the grain exports from all south
ern ports for the crop year ended Aug

exports from all southern ports were 4567,-
1888 barrels of -four; 640S,979 bushels Of
wheat; 65S19,79O bushels Of corn. Reducing
the -four to bushels the total figures up
to 95, 5,0O0,O 900 bushels of grain from southern
ports against $500, 900 bushels for the pre-
ceding year, showing an increase of 50,-
600 900 bushels.
The total exports of corn from the
United States for the year were 94000,0C0
bushels and of this, 65,S00000 were from
southern ports. Comparing the exports of
corn by ports, New Orleans shows the
phenomenal increase of from ?, 100, 900 bush
els in lS94-95 to q, 14S 900 for the past year.
Norfolk and Newport News, which are
practically one and the same port, as they
are both of Hampton Roads, shipped this
year l8300,000 bushels against 100000 last
year.
Galveston, which made no corn ship
ments last year, has sent out this year,
5,l3S,00O bushels. Mobiles corn shipments
advanced from 5000 bushels last year to
100000 bushels; Pensacolas from 1900
bushels to 115,000 bushels; Beaufort and
Port Royal S. C, from $1,000 to 417,O 900. At
Baltimore, the increase was from 5,500O00
to 100000 bushels.

a comparison of the consumption of cot
ton in southern and northern mills for the
year ended Aug. 81 1885, Southern mills
show consumption of 100000 bales an in
crease of 1900 bales over last year; while
northern mills consumed 1,00000O bales, a
decrease of 100000 bales compared with
last year. For the first time southern
mills have consumed largely more than
half as much cotton as the northern mills
and indications point to a consumption
during the next twelve months of about
!. 200. 600 bales by southern mills.

Most Lovable of the Four-Footed Pets

Most Lovable of the FOur-FOoted Pets
OF WOmanklnd.
OF all the pets of womankind, babies
alone excepted, there Is nothing more
lovabIe than the tiny Blenheim span
lei, says an exchange. Why this breed
of dogs has the name of the palace Of
the duke Of Marlborough no one seems
to know. The story goes, however,
that the first duke had the breed and
that, on friends requesting a PUPPY,
he refused to part with one, but at the
same time took two or three blind
whelps and threw them to tame eagles.
But in the year 1900 his grace the
duke Of Marlborough was reputed to
possess the smallest and best breed.
Of cookers (woodcock spaniels) in Brit
ain. They were invariably red and
white, with very long ears, short noses
and black eyes. They were evidently
the ancestors Of the. present Blen-
helms, which are still bred by the keep
ers of the lodge at Blenheim and some
of the inhabitants Of Woodstock. But
there is little doubt that they have
been crossed with the pug to give them
the very short snub noses which they
now possess. Moreover, the breed has
become very delicate and difficult to-
rear They suffer from brain disease
and are more likely than any other dog,
to die in puppyhood: "IdstOne, the
celebrated writer on dogs, remembers
the time when 1.-The Blenheims were
mainly bred in the vicinity Of the pail
ace. He; suggests as probably origin
of the Blenheims the Japanese toy span
lei. The 'sdrmise seems very probable.
Az it is the ambition, Of every English
woman. to, own one of these tiny crea'
lures, they will probably some dag be
the rage in this country; therefore, 1t
is well to know something Of their ped
igree.
