The Senatorial SHCcessiOn.

Governor A. J. McLaurin. it is said,
receives an immense quantity Of mail
matter daily, and large portion of ii
relates to the vacancy in the United
States senate. New names are being
constantly suggested, and great piles of
letters, petitions and good advice pour
in upon the governor from every mail
that reaches Jackson. Every section of
the state, it seems, has from one to four
candidates, and each one has his back
ers who are trying to influence the gov
crnor in every way possible.
An associated press reporter in Jack
son has talked to Governor McLaurin
about the matter, and is satisfied that
the governor will endeavor to ascer.
tain his duty and then he will do his
duty as he knows it. He will not let
any personal consideration influence
him. If he concludes that. exercising
temporarily prerogative of the legisla-
tnre, in the absence OF Legislative ses-
sion. it is his duty, in courtesy, to ap-
point the man that body indicated for
senator, he will do it, If Governor
McLaurin is actuated by such policy
as above expressed, and we believe he
is,there is but one man who is logically
to be considered for the vacancy, and
that is Senator elect H. d. Money.
Governor McLaurin cannot afford to ig-
more the wishes of the people of the
state by appointing any one else. Gre

". j. Bryan Next President.

The esteemed Memphis Herald has
this to say of Americas greatest young
man:
What wonderful enthusiasm the
name of William J. Bryan calls ont
whenever mentioned at a democratic
gathering. He is as strong to-day in
the popular affection as at any time
during the late canvass, or stronger.
His visits to western cities are OvatiOns
of applause. AT the Pennsylvania dem
ocratic convention, just held the men
ton of his name excited tumult of ap-
plause and enthusiasm, as If in the hot
test period of the presidential canvass
1t means that the cause of silver Is
strong in the hearts of the people
stronger than ever before-when its
great exponent is thus honored. 1t is
also high tribute to noble character.
The name of William J. Bryan has nov
er been sullied with a touch of lisbon
or. Pure in his private and public life,
lofty in principle, devoted to the high
est welfare of his fellow men, and
patriot in the truest sense, he stands a
type of those noble men who laid the
foundations of our government, shaped
Its constitution and achieved its liberty.
1t inspires hope for the future when we
see that such man stands so high In
the esteem of the people.

diplomatic relations between Japan and the
United States are strained may he respol-

quantity. When asked the direct question

PREPARED TO CELEBRATE
Hawaiians Hoped to Hear Annexation Had
Been Accomplished.
Were Deeply Disappointed mt the
-Ffrecrackers Were Useless.

SAN FRANCISCO. July 9.-The steamer
City of Peking. Just arrived, was a day be-
hind her regular time. Captain Smith ex-
planned the delay by saying the vessel was
detained at Honolulu on a request from
the officers of the Hawaiian government,
who asked that the steamer remain in the
harbor there until the Mariposa from San
Francisco should arrive, which the
Hawaiians hoped to hear that the anneNa-
ton treaty had been ratified by the United
States Senate, and that they could call
themselves Americans.
The leaders of the annexation party had
purchased all the frecrackers on the is
lands in anticipation of news favorable to
their way of managing the. islands. and
they were preparing for big celebration,
but the news to fully suit them did not
come. and the celebration was declared OIL
The Hawaiians intended by holding the
steamer TO be able to send coneratulatory
messages on the Peking to their new kins-
men on this shore of the Pacific.
In the news from the orient brought by
the Peking was the information that the
JapaneseTimeS of recent date devotes a long
article to discussion of the annexation sit
uation, over which the entire Japanese press
is greatly wrought up. The premise of the
argument in this paper, as reoresented III
the Hawaiian Star, is that Japan has no
territorial interest in the Hawaiian Islands
Speaking of the signing of the annexation
treaty, ii says:
Whatever may have been the cause. II
is to be deeply regretted that the step has
been taken without consulting the views OF
Japan, which is, next to America. most
vitally interested in the status of the Ha.
waiian Islands,

rogance with a vengeance" and SAYS:

Much has been said en- beth sides con-
corning the failure Of government clerks

one OF the departments, which is of inter-
est. A broker was asked by a government
employe for 800. The broker agreed to
loan 1t 81 10 per cent per month. The offer
was accepted. Knowing the rate of inter
est to be Illegal, the $40 was deducted in
advance, SO the borrower received actually
but $50. At different periods during the
two following months the borrower paid
$3.50, $l1, $30.35, 81 and $25, aggregatng
$ssos5. The payments were charged up as
the monthly interest, bonus, etc. They
amounted to the principal plus interest at
the rate of 30 per cent per annum. The
clerk refused to pay any more. The broker
sued and, the defendant not appearing in
court, judgment was rendered for s91 05.
The clerk having no property which the
plaintiff could seize to satisfy the judg-
nent, the broker requested the department

FUEL SCARCE At CLEVELAND.
Lake Steamers Cannot Get CargOes
and Plants Shut Down.

CLEVELAND, Ohio, July 9-The situa-
ton in this city over the coal strike is be-
coming desperate. The Cleveland railroads
are growing bolder in confiscating COAL
and those who depend upon regular sup
ply are becoming anxious.
The schooner b. w. Parker Of Detroit
has been delayed in Cleveland since Sun
day owing TO the action OF the Erie rail-
way. The boat was loading coal at the
Cleveland Shipbuilding Companys works.
An Erie engine backed on the high trestle
which leads to the dumping machine
and carried away thirty cars OF coal which
were to have been loaded into the Parker.
The boat will have to go up light. Sew
eral boats were delayed today owing to the
difficulty in securing fuel.
The Interocean Coal Company, one of the
heaviest fueling firms on the lakes, has
only coal enough to last its customers a
few days. Several other fueling firms have
nearly exhausted their supply. The Penn
sylvania and Ohio Fueing Company has
suspended business altogether in Cleve-
land. There is considerable fuel in the
upper lakes, and some of ii may have to
!. be brought down here. Ii is generally ad-
mitted now that the coal dealers and mine
operators were very poorly prepared for
strike.
The Morris Coal Company has ceased
shipping coal altogether, and, in fact, coal
dealers as a rule have delivered nearly all
their COAL
cause all but the exceptionally large boats
to lay up. When the strike will be de-
clared off there will be a heavy demand for
boats and the vessel men hope then to OBJ
tain better rates. The vessel men take
indeed, a very philosophical view of the
situation. They hold that it will improve
fall traffic and that the miners Will doubt
less be victorious in the fight.
The great plant of the Cleveland Steel
Company closed this morning owing to lack
of fuel. A number of other plants are pre-
pairing to shut down.
The coal miners On the Wheeling and
Lake Erie district won great victory
today. Col. Myron T. Herrick. the receiver
for the W. and l.. Z. railway, received a
private dispatch at noon today saying that
only one man went to work at Dillonvale

DROWNED AT THE BEACH.
Frederick Driver Entfced to Hi
Death by Other Lads,

Frederick Driver. colored boy, living at
bathing beach this morning. 1t seems that
he was enticed into deep water by his COM
panions, who were treading water. Driver
jumped off the float, and when he did not
come to the surface his companions gave
the alarm and Policeman Brown and Life
Savers Tindall and McNamce went to res
cue him. They were seriously handicapped,
because of the inability of the boys to tell
where Driver jumped.
The officers dragged for the body over an
hour before they recovered it. The patrol
wagon was called and the body was taken
to the mOrgue.
The officials did all in their power to res
cue the boy promptly, and 1t was no fault
of theirs that Driver lost his life.
