to select a man of unusual gifts for first Assistant Secretary of State. and Gen. Batchelder, of Saratoga who was Assistant Secretary of the Treasury during the Harrison administration, and Henry White. who was Secretary of the United States legation in London for several years, are under considera- tion for that appointment.
 Gen. Batchelder was for several years a member of the international court of Cairo, Egypt, and for a time minister to Portugal. He is a man of wealth, knowledge of the world and social experience, and while in the Treasury showed considerable executive ability.
 Mir White is from Maryland. He is also very wealthy, and on terms of familiar acquaintances with the Prince of Wales and the dignitaries and notables in Great Britain and on the continent. He preferred to retain the position of Secretary of the legation, when he might have been promoted, and some of the most important business transacted between this government and Great Britian was done while he was charge d'affalrs. There is no man in the United States better quail fled than Mir. White to perform the duties of first Assistant Secretary of State, and he would relieve Mr. Sherman of a great deal of care and responsibility.

Last Friday evening report of a sad killing reached here which has caused considerable alarm and much excitement. 1t occurred on Deep Bayou, this county, and Mr. Marion Trantham was the victim, and Ennis the perpetrator. 1t seems that Mir. Trantham had leased his farm to Mrs Ennis, and Ter time was out and Mr. Trantham had demanded possession, and her son not being satisfied to turn thefarm over to the owner, took his Winchester rifle and walked up within few yards of Mir. rrantham, took deliberate aim and fired the ball taking effect in the breast of Mr. Trantham and kill. ing him instantly. Ennis has escaped and so far, no trace of him can be found.

PUNCH ROBERTSON HERE.
A Graphic Reporter Hasia Few Words
 With the Actor.

Mr. Punch Robertson and his dra- matic company are with us and will entertain the city throughout the week. This is the first appearance of MT. Robertson in this city and we bespeak for him cordial recep- tion. He is a gentleman of mild and pleasing appearance with 8 good Thespian countenanee. Being asked why he played at the unprecedented cheap prices of 10, 20 and 30 cents, as well as admitting lady free to- night, he replied.
 ''In the first place, l played in Memphis at the Grand four weeks last year, and will play there again next week; also at the St. Charles, New Orleans, and in fact, every where, at the prices advertised here, and, while your city is smaller, l can not give you more and do not charge more. Notwithstanding the small admission fee, when admission is charged at all, guarantee tonight as good a performance as you have had this year; also an exhibition of the greatest invention of the age the Phantoscope-showing Edison s animated pictures, life size. I know I have brought you more for the money, concluded MT. Robertson, than you ever had, or likely ever to have. Will your people appreci- ate it? Tonight will tell. Surely with a lady's free ticket tonight, it is worth tes ting.

TO CLOSE.
The Merchants of This city Agree to Close Their Establishments After
 6:30 P. NJ.

This morning a petition was car ried around to our merchants for their signatures agreeing to close their various establishments after January the 10th at 6:30 o'clock p. m, until September the 1st, 1897.
 All the merchants, without ex- eeption, signed the petition with alaerity, and those who entered the agreement are as follows:
 Isaac Dreyfus.
 The Honnet Dry Goods Co.
 $. Bluthenthal & Go.
 Golden Eagle Go.
 Kaufman Bazaar Go.
 Blum Dry Goods Co.
 J. & s. Katzenstein.
 Kastor & Bluthenthal.
 A. Rosenberg.
 M. Rubenstein.
 Fernando Frank.
 Joseph Cohen.
 Wm. Rosenweig.
 Wolf Nichols.
 Smith Go.
 Bramm < Go.
 This action on the part of their employers will be greatly appre- ciated by the clerks, which will give the latter ample time for rest and recreation, and also the better enable them to more efficiently dis charge their labors during regular business hours.
 Neither will the closing entrail any loss upon our merchants, for we are informed that after 6:30 o'clock in the evening the profits on their sales are not sufficient to pay the cost of lighting their premises.
 The GRAPHIC congratulates the clerks upon the evenings they will now have to spend with their fam flies and friends.

THE PACIFIC
THE PHILADELPHIA

One of the first statements Ad-
miral BeardsIee made when he
arrived off the port last night
was: Il understand you've had
lots of weddings down here late
~" Possibly this was cipher
dispatch, but whether it is indie
ative of war or annexation, we
will leave for the individual
households of the community to
decide.
The mission of the Philadelphia
seems to be Il thoroughly peace
full one Contrary to San Fran
cisco newspaper reports, her guns
are not loaded to the muZZle, and
her officers, from Admiral Boards
lee down, are not armed to the
teeth. The men who claimed that
the flagship of the Pacific station
had been selected to come down
here and perform some powerful
serious work will have to look for
something else to amuse them
selves with. The ship will un-
doubleday remain quietly in the
harbOr, the officers will be most
cordially received by the Govern
ment and the people of the city,
the flagship band will play, the
9 o'clock gun will boom and the
people of the country will come
and 20 as they have for years
past.
As we have stated previously,
the mission of the Philadelphia
has no more Significance than is
contained in Oft-repeated Ameri-
can declaration that Hawaii is I'M
der the protection of the United
States. As this is the only foreign
country in which the American
say-so-figures prominently, it is in
keeping with Il vigorous foreign
policy to station something more
than a wooden cruiser in our
principal port. Should Japan,
China. Great Britain, France,
Germany, Sweden or Denmark in
augurate Il policy dangerous to
American interests here or at
tempt to bulldOze, the Government
of the Republic, Admiral Boards
lee and the Philadelphia will
probably be heard from. But as
no bulldOzing tactics are antici
pated. we have no reason to eX-
pect anything out of the usual
run of navy life.

ing up the duties of his office,
has pursued a policy that viii
bring him in as close touch with
the people as possible. No more
important item of such Il policy
can be named than courteous
treatment of newspaper represen-
tatives.
Notwithstanding newspaper
men cultivate thick skins, it is
calling To be treated like d gang
of beach-combers, in whom no
confidence can be placed. In the
United States the correspondents
give a blow for a blow, as was
evidenced during the Cleveland
administration. and it has been
pretty clearly demonstrated that
the Cleveland administration got
the worst of it. Newspaper writ
ers are not hero worshipers, but
they appreciate courtesy.

PRESIDENT M'KINLEY AND THE
NEWSPAPERMEN.

President Mckinley knows his
business. At ; p. IN. on the I'D
of March 120 newspaper CORE
spondents met by invitation of
President Mckinley in the East
room of the Executive Mansion
in Washington. The President
wanted to see them. AS the men
were introduced to him, the PreSi-
dent took the hand of each, and
paused to chat a moment with
the majority of them. OF the 10
correspondents located in Wash
ington, President Mckinley has Il
personal acquaintance with some
80 or 40. He called man after
man by name, although 1T had
been several years since he had
met the most of them. Here and
there he dropped IL word of APP
probation and to the representa-
tives of the opposition press he
cracked jokes in his quiet way.
After the President had greeted
all the correspondents, he faced
the group and said: "Gentlemen:
| am glad to see you here. L want
YOU all to feel that the Executive
Mansion is Il public office, and
that Won are welcome here at any
time. L thank you for coming"
This incident in the career of
President Mckinley will be APP
preciated not only by the CORE
Spondents of Washington, but by
every newspaperman who ever
penned line in the United States.
1t also shows how true it is that
mutual respect and better pub
lie service must grow out of such
fair and courteous relations with
the press of the land.
President Mckinley has been
in the public service long enough
to know that the representatives
of reputable newspapers are gen
tlemen. and he is man enough to
treat them as such. 1t is indeed
refreshing to note what a good
example the Chief Executive OF
the United States is setting for
the chiefs of the national depart
ments. the State Government and
the officials of all nations.
