BOMBAY, Aug. 3J.-Litte fresh news
has been sent from the frontier An
attack had been made on Shimwari in
the Samana range, but the attacking
force was rcpulsed, losing five killed
and many wounded. There is cousid-
cradle excitement among the tribes
along the Bulan route to Quettd and
the telegraph wires have again been
cut. 1t is reported that the tribesmen
are gathering near the Ziaret santa.
rum and much anxiety is felt regard
ing the safety of women aud children
there, as the railway officials are ask
ing for military protection for their
property. II the route is considered
safe, the women and children at the
sanitarium will be brought away, but
otherwise troops will be sent from
Quetta to protect them.
The column under Col. Gordon, which
was dispatched to the Samana district
yesterday, is composed entirely of ma
tive troops and is fully equipped with
medical, commissariat aud transport
services. 1t has orders to force the
kohat pass if necessary.
Rumors are current tending to throw
doubts upon the genuineness of the
Ameer's reply to the viceroy of India,
regarding the completely of Afghan
subjects in the uprising.
The disarming of the Khyber Rifles,
Ia iah fnrYpnI nj Of ha nr,.icn .
Jamrud, was complete surprise, but
the orders were obeyed without trou-
Bile. Some individual firing into the
camp at Jamrud has taken place, as
sany as 100 stray shots being fired at
the outposts in single night Some
of these shots were fired at SO
short u range that three ma
tive officers who were ON
watch were killed. 1t speaks well
for the discipline and obedieuce main
tanned in the camp that not single
shot was fired in reply. The hot
weather is trying, but the health and
spirits Of the troops are goo |.
Fears are expressed of the fall of

Confirmation has been received of the
rumors that the Afridis are quarreling
among themselves over the division of
the booty taken from the captured
forts. Only about 800 OF them have
been left to guard the Khyber pass, the
others having dispersed to seek sup.

AS AN EXPERIMENT.,
Secretary Gage VIII Give the Tarsney Law
Trial.

WASHINGTON Aug. 3O.-Secretary
Gage has made the first experiment
with the Tarsney law, providing for
the competition of architects in the
design of public buildings by inviting
seven architects to submit competitive
designs and estimates for the Norfolk
(Va.) building, for which there is an
appropriation of $780, 900. Heretofore
all the designs have been made by the
government architect. After the
Tarsney law was passed, four years ago.
Secretary Carlisle decided it was i'm
practicable, and declined to execute il.
Secretary Gage, however has re-
solved to give the law trial. The
plans are to be submitted October Il.
Under the law not less than five archi-
tects are to be selected, and Secretary
Gage decided upon seven.

MISSISSIPPI MATTERS.


Paul Jeffries is again on trial at Holly
Springs for the killing of Denton Odell,
DR., in 1895. 1t will be remembered
that he was found guilty at the August
term, 1896, and received life sentence,
but obtained a new trial on an appeal
TO the supreme court because one of the
jurors had expressed an opinion pre-.
vlous to the trial. Jeffries has had an
exciting time Of it in the past two
years. First, the fatal encounter which
resulted in the death of Odell and which
nearly cost him his own; then long
months when his life hung in the bal
ance, the trial and conviction, his sem
sational abduction through mistake by
penitentiary official and return to the
holly Springs Jail, his trouble in Mem
phls, and finally he is confronted for
the second time by twelve of his peers
to answer the grave charge against
hlm. lie seems to have stood it pretty
well and looks in fairly good health.

1t seems that the Mobile, Jackson &
Kansas City Railroad Company had no
trouble in negotiating loan in Europe
to build and equip its line through the
great pine belt of Mississippi This
goes to prove that Mississippi securities
are considered tirst-class. Last year this
State built more miles of railroad than
any State in the Union except two. This
road will develop one of the finest Sec
tions of the State, and which is now
without railroad connection. Aside
from the fine timber along its route, Il
large portion is good farming land.

The States Farms.

Attorney-General Nash, who Is a
member of the penitentiary board of
control, recently made an inspection of
eleven of the thirteen convict camrs in
the State He says he found the crops
on most of them in good condition, and
when the overflow is considered they
are in much better condition than could
have been expected. On several Of the
places the crops are exceedingly prom
ising. Gen, Nash is of the opinion that
the penitentiary for the present year
Will at least pay expenses. At one time
this was doubted, owing to the over
how. While the corn crop is not so
good as the cotton crop, Gen. Nash is
OF the opinion that enough corn will be
raised to supply the needs of the peni-
tentiary.-T. M. Henry, in Commerca al

1t is believed the congress will pass
resolutions asking the federal con-
gress to enact measures which will re
suit in better system for the control
of strikes and the protection of COM
merce during their reign.
President Clayton said yesterday:
81 believe that strikes are often nec-
essary, but | also believe that they
should be made last resort. | am in
favor of requesting the federal con-
gress to direct the enforcement of the
interstate commerce laws which pro-
tect commerce at all times. | also
want to see the federal congress pass
Jaws which will control the gigantic
trusts of the present time. We believe
that trusts are an evil. | want to see
trusts regulated and labor troubles set
tied by arbitration. In the failure of
this we, as a class of farmers, should
see the interstate commerce laws en-
forced, believing that strikes are in
furious to the interests of farmers
