PrOWl About Ut NiBht'
 Jackson Miss, Feb. 1.-The board or control of the Mississippi penitentiary has been engaged all day investigating charges of mismanagement against War den Jenkins and his sergeant on the Dulaney plantation. Ex-Governor Stone and Ex-Attorney-General Johnston testi- fled to Dulaney's poor mules and FIX Railroad Commissioner McLaurin and others testified to the great value of the land and bad management. The trial has created great interest and has de- yeloped the fact of very loose manage ment The sergeants have permitted dan gerous convicts to prowl around oyer the neighborhood at night, while they were on drunken carousals on the state farm in Rankin county. It was proved that negro women from this city were permit ted to spend the night with the male con victs and that the sergeant had spent one night In the city jail for drunkenness: Mississippi has about 900 convicts to deal with, mostly negroes, and they are work ed on farms where stockades or shacks are built for their safe keeping, yet the board of control is showered with com plaints that they run at large at pleasure.
 The board will put stop to 1t If every employee must be fired to do so.

A Letter on the Subject From the President

A Letter on the SubJect From tne freSluent
 to the Senate.
 Washington, Feb. 1.-The following is the letter of the president transmitting the Waller correspondence to the senate today:
 Washington, Feb. il, 1896. To the Senate of the United States
 transmit herewith. in answer to the senate resolution of December 9, 1895, report from the secretary of state, &C., companed by copies of correspondence and other papers in regard to the case of John l.. Waller, a citizen of the United States, at present in the custody of the French government. It will be seen upon examination, as would of course be expected, that there is a slight conflict of evidence upon some of the features of Mr. Walters case. Nevertheless, upon a fair and just con- sideration of all the facts and circum- stances as presented, and especially in view of Mr. Walters own letters, the con clusions set forth in the report of the sec retary of state do not appear to admit of any reasonable doubt nor to leave open to the executive any other course of ac- tion than that adopted and acted upon as therein. stated.
 It is expected that MT. Walters release from imprisonment will be immediately forthcoming.

A Disturbing Question.

Jackson, Miss, Feb. 11.-One of the biggest fights to come before the Missis- sippi legislature is a bill to make the judiciary elective. Senator George wires William s. McAllister this evening from Washington: T wrote you several days ago that favored elective judiciary" In view of the fact that Senator George has heretofore opposed this is significant of change of sentiment in various quar- ters.

Kreuz Zeitung, whe was recently ar rested in Athens by German commits sary police upon charges of forgery and embezzlement, arrived here at o'clock this afternoon in custody of his captors. Despite the early hour of his arrival thousands of persons were awaiting the coming of the train at the railway station hoping to catch a glimpse of the distin guished prisoner, whose trial is expected to produce some startling disclosures of political chicanery, hypocrisy and dis honesty. The prisoner was at once placed in a carriage and driven to the Moa bit prison.
