days the opening reception will begin,
and Mrs Davis and her daughter, Miss
Winnie Davis, will grace the occasion.
Many distinguished ex-confederates
will be present The house was known
during the war as the white house of
the cOnfederacy." 1t was bought by
the city for $4,000, and was offered to
Mr.. Davis as a gift. Mr.. Davis declined
to accept the gift, but consented to
make it his residence during his life
time. After it was given mp by the
military commander when he moved to
Beauvoir, Miss, the city used it as a
school house until it was donated for
the museum. A large sum of money
has been expended in improving the
structure, and it has been made fire
proof. The house is just as it was in
the days of the war. 1t is one of the
Oldest and handsomest residences in
the city. 1t was built by Judge Brenck-
enborough. The mantels, which were
imported from Europe are of Carrara
marble, carved in caryatides support
ing shells filled with flowers. 1t is a
three-story house with a basement. A
square porch, with tall pillars, fronts
on Clay street, and in the rear, which
opens into a large garden, is a portico
which runs the length of the house.
The portico is unusually wide, and is
supported by large round columns
reaching to the top of the second story.
1t was from the top of this porch that
little Joe Davis, the presidents eldest
son, fell and was killed in the first year
of the war.
1t contains a large collection of relics
The De Reune collection of Georgia.
which has been donated, is said to be
second in value of all the collections in
the south. Other relics are the cap,
gauntlets and sword of General Lee, the
plumes from General Stuart's hat the
spyglass used by General Beauregard
at the battle of Manassas, and the col
lections from the various soldiers
homes throughout the south, including
the Lee Camp Soldiers Home collec-
ton, which embraces in addition to
very many rare and interesting relics
the skin of Stonewall Jackson's charger.
There are also many manuscripts and
! private papers. A room will be allotted
to each state that belonged to the con-
federacy, and it will be expected to con-
tribute to it. The museum to which
Charles Broadway Rouss of New York
contributed 100000 may be combined
with it, though that matter will be set
tied by the committee of the Grand
Camp of Confederate Veterans appoint
ed at Houston last spring

Washington. Jan. 13.-Senators Per-
hns and White of California called at
the department today to urge Secretary
Olney to take such steps as necessary
to secure the proper treatment of John
Hays Hammond, the American mining
engineer reported TO have been arrest
ed by Boer officials at johannesburg on
the charge of treason in connection
with the recent rising of Uitlanders in
Transvaal Secretary Olney informed
his callers that he had cabled Mr.. Main
cen, United States consul resident at
johannesburg, to do everything proper
for the protection of all American citi-
zens in Transvaal. Ambassador Bay
ard was cabled by Secretary Olney to
secure from the foreign Office in Lon
don direction to the British represen-
tatives in south Africa to use their good
offices to protect American citizens. The
secretary assured the California sena-
tors that American citizens in Trans
vaal can not be tried for treason, so
Hammond's life is not in danger The
most that can be done. it is said, is to
fine or imprison him, but it is probable
this will be avoided. Senators White
and Perkins express satisfaction at
what has been done i'm Hammond's be-
half by the state department.
In response to Secretary Olney's ca
blegram, Ambassador Bayard this af-
ternoon cabled the British secretary of
state for the colonies, giving him as
surance that he had instructed her
majesty's high commissioner in south
Africa to extend the same protection
in behalf of John Hays Hammond and
any other American citizens involved
in the charge of rebellion in Transvaal
as would be shown in the interests of
British subjects in like circumstances.
The cablegrams are believed here to be
significant as indicating a better under
standing between the two governments
than was generally supposed to exist.

TROUBLE is FEARED AT PERRY
Schools win Open TODAY for Admission

Perry, O. T., Jan. 12.-The conserva-
tive people of this place fear trouble
tomorrow between the black and the
white races. According to the decision
of the court schools were opened for
the admission of all races and color
The fight has been going on for three
months.
The school board voted a few days
ago to suspend the schools, but the
colOred people sued out a writ of man
damus compelling the board to open
them again This was supported by
the people who preferred mixed schools
to none, so the board was compelled to
reconsider its action, and tomorrow the
public schools of the city will contain
both whites and blacks. Several white
men declare they will keep their chill
dren from school; nor will they send
them where colored children stay. The
colored people are firm and trouble is
expected.

County Commits ioneTs.
Boise, Jan. 14.-The supreme court
handed down an interesting decision
today in the case of II. S. Hampton YER
sus the commissioners of Logan county.
The board employed Hampton as an at
torney. The matter came to the su-
preme court and the contract was de-
clared illegal Hampton then present
ed an itemized bill for services rendered
amounting to $3642. The commissioners
Slayer on appeal allowed him 1892. He
was not satisfied and appealed to the
supreme court, which holds that he is
entitled to nothing. 1t was held that
the commissioners were authorized to
employ counsel in addition to the dis
trict attorney when necessary. The
court says: Before the authority Civ
en- the boards under section 6, article IS,
of the constitution can be exercised,
the necessity which authorizes it must
not only be apparent but facts creating
such necessity must be made a matter
of record by the board"
The court in the course of the decis-
ion says: Under the divine right of
kings as arrogated by the house OF
Stewart they were not more lawless
and disregarding Of the peoples rights
than have been some of the boards of
county commissioners of this state in
the assumption of what they claim tC
be their powers under the constitution

TURKISH LEGATION WILL EXPLAIN
Ready TO see ANY Delegation From the
Red Gross Society.


Washington, Jan. 14.-In an interview
today the Turkish minister said regard
ing the newspaper statement that the
Red Cross Society has decided not to
pay any attention to the communication
until it is officially transmitted to it by
the Turkish government or the Turkish
minister:
LAS the Red Cross Society or any Of
its representatives never visited this
legation it is clear and logical that this
legation has nothing to communicate to
said society. This legation sent its
communication to the press, because ii
is the public that the Red Cross took
into it's confidence. But naturally 1
will always be ready and pleased to give
the Red Cross Society any explanation
it may think proper to ask for"
OTHER METHODS AVAILABLE.
New York, Jan. 14,-Spencer Trask
chairman of the Armenian relief com
mittee, announces that if the Turkish
government will not permit the Red
Cross Society to aid the suffering in
Armenia other means are available tc
accomplish the same end, insuring the
application of subscriptions to the pur'
pose to which they were designated.

Peter Hougasrd Of Chicago Turned All

the Gas Jets.
Chicago, Jan. 13.-Peter Hougaard,
believed to have been insane, killed
himself, his wife and five children last
night. Hougaard was a Dane, living at
351 Sixty-first street. He wrote to a
friend yesterday telling him what he
was going to do, and spoke of the dia-
mond the police would find by his side
when they entered the house. The
letter was received by Hougaard's
friend today. He Immediately inform
ed the police.
The police forced Hougaard's house,
and they were almost overcome by the
fumes of gas. Upstairs they discovered
seven corpses. The jets of every gas
fixture in the house had been opened,
and death evidently came on all the
family but the husband and father,
while they were asleep.
The dead are: Peter Hougaard, hus-
band, 40 years of age; Mrs. Hougaard,
80; Hans, IA; Jennie, 10; Loga, 8; Maud,
