Nashville. Tenn. Jan. 21.-The legis-

took another ballot for United States
Senator. The Republican members cast
their vote for +. J. Sanford, of Knox
vile. The Democratic vote was scat
tered as at the previous sessions.
There being no election the convention
adjourned until tomorrow.
The Democratic Senatorial caucus met
tonight and again failed to make a
nomination for United States Senator.
Twelve ballots were taken, the last

was one vote from Turley to Taylor.
The indications for breaking the dead

favorable tonight than at any time
since the balloting began.

WITH hfSt wishes,
Yours very truly,

The only "falee" statement in the
News and Observers article was the use
of '$5, 900" instead of $500" and that
correction was made in our issue of Jan
nary 7th, the very morning after it's pub
llcation The statement published in
these columns, except the $1,000 which
should have been $500, was given us by
DIR. B. II Dixon, the alleged author Of
the above letter.
This letter printed in the Caucasian is
a base forgery, or else was written by
DR.. Dixon while asleep or while suffering
a lapse of memory. We yesterday inter-
viewed four gentlemen, who heard DIR.
Dixon make the statement printed by us,
and their recollection is clear that DIR.
Dixon stated substantially what was
published in the News and Observer.
The comments, Of course, were made by
member of the staff of this paper.

TIE NATIONAL QUARANTINE
QUESTION.


vicksburg Dispatch.
We cannot see how any Thoughtful
citizen can oppose a national quaran.
tine. The question is pressing more
and nore. The last Congress discuss.
ed the question, but nothing was done
that will prove satisfactory to the
people.
Since we have acquired Cuba and
Porto Rico, the need is greater and
there is il better chance to protect the
country from yellow fever. With n
properly equipped and vigilant IA.
tional quarantine, with agents in Cuba
and Porto Rico, it would be almost
impossible for yellow fever to escape
from the islands, and ii it should, it
would certainly be detected by the
quarantine officials ut the ports. The
whole work OF preventing the impor.
tation should devUlve on Il national
quarantine, and the whole duty of
preventing its spread if it should slip
in, or make its appearance anywhere.
The present wal has proved that the
yellow fever is mnre to be dreaded
than an invasion. This year it caused
more suffering and deaths in our army
than the battles. And this enemy
will press harder and harder at our
ports as the year passes. Our trade
with Cuba and Porto Rico will cause
a stream Of travel to and from them,
and unless the United States has the
very best quarantine system that can
be devised, these islands are likely to
prove a curse than a blessing.
There is a little yellow fever in this
State neal Water Valley, and no one
knows but what it may have been i'm
ported directly or indirectly from Gu.
ba. W. know we have the fever in
the northern part OF the State, with
our State board Of health as much in
the dark as to where it came from as
persons not familiar with diseases Of
any kind. While we might retain
State health boards to work within
the States subordinate Tn the national
board Of health, no sensible citizen
can deny the necessity for national
protection from contagious and iniec-
tious diseases.

DEMOCRATS NIGHT PROFIT
BY 1T.

vicksburg Dispatch.
Gen Griffin. temporary Chairman Of
the Wisconsin Republican Conven-
ton, made a strong radical speech,
but in his speech he used language
the Democrats might profit by. There
was intense feeling between rival can
didates and their followers. The gu
bernatorial nomination was the great
bone Of contention.
Gen. Griffin said 1--WE are all Rcrub.
%licans," ard appealed to the members
Of the convention for harmony and
discipline. There is very little doubt
OF the Republicans standing by the
nominees Of the party. The discip-
line Of the Republican party has saved
it from defeat or many occasions.
When Garfield was nominated Gen.
Grant and all his followers aided In his
election.
How differently the C!eveland-Pal-
mer and Iuckner fellows acted. In
stead of bowling to the will Of the
party and electing Mr.. Bryan, they
betrayed the party and aided Hanna
and the negroes to defeat the party
nominees.
How much letter il would have been.
if they had remained true to the party
and elected Bryan. Free coinage would
have been restored, the financial uues-
tion settled, and the farmers would
get from s to 10 cents for cotton IN
stead OF from 4 to 5 cents.
But the people will put these things
right by the time the next President
ial election rolls around, and traitors
will be powerless to defeat the party

SANTIAGO MUST SURRENDER.
Foreign CGnsuls Make a Formal De-
mand Upon the SpaBfards.

Kingston, Jamaica, July 6.-General
Shafter, at noon Monday. in consequence
of instructions received from Washing
ton. sent Captain Dorst to the city with
a flag of truce. The captain carried a let
ter to General ToraI formally asking him
to surrender. While this was being done,
and while the Americans were waiting
for the reply of the enemy, there was to
have been an armistice.
1t was five hours before either COM
mander succeeded in getting his men to
stop firing. and during that time the
chief purpose for which the agreement
to the cessation of hostilities was intend
ed-the bringing in of the wounded-had
to be abandoned.
Both Spanish and United States troops
were scattered in long lines through the
chapparal and all the morning the out
posts In trenches had been shooting at
each other incessantly, SO that stopping
them was matter of great difficulty
General Toral, in the afternoon, replied
to General Shafter. He absolutely re-
fused to surrender.
Then the foreign cOnsuls in Santiago
interfered. They had a conference to
decide what to do. Meanwhile Gen Shaf-
ter sent another message to the city de-
claring that unless it had been surrender
ed to him by 10 o'clock yesterday NORM
ing. hostilities would be resumed at that
hour. Again the Spanish commander
sent back refusal.
Formal demand has now been served
by the consuls. and they are awaiting
the reply of the Spaniards.

THE DUTIES OF A SOLDIER.
His Legitimate Rights Protected by

4 man who enlists in the regular or vol

10 do 4 soldiers duty. and cannot be
made to perform purely menial tasks. A
commissioned officer receives an allow
ance for hiring a servant TO black his
boots. cook his meals. etc. and cannot
detail n private soldier TO do that work
without a breach OF the regulations. That
1t is done sometimes. is true: but II Is
done with the tacit consent of the pri-
vate soldier who prefers such a detail
because 1t relieves him from guard and
other more arduous duty. and because no.
body makes any kick against the ar
rangement. But a private who objects TO
performing meuial services for his suPe-
rior officer will never be compelled to do
so.
Dirty work about the camp rests
upon different basis. 1t is necessary for
the good of the service that the eano
be kept clean. and men may be detailed
to clean it up. This work may include
digging bitches or vaults, sweeping. car
rying fuel. cooking for the company.

sary to enable the command TO live in
comfort and heaith-but there is nothing
humiliating about such work SO long as
all are subject 10 it equally In addition.
the private must black his own shoes,
keep his clothes and accoutrements clean
and If he is a cavairyman, clean and
take care of his horse.
Private soldiers are American citizens
and are entitled to all the rights of
American citizens. save as such rights
are curtailed by the exigencies of the
military service. A soldier may be or
dered to do any work. no matter what its
nature. that may be adjudged to be for
the good of the service. and he serves
his country as well in doing this work
as he does in actual fighting. The diff
ferences of rank in the Army must be OBJ
served and respected because it Is neces-
sary to proper discipline. but no self
respecting officer will ever order 4 pri-
vate soldier TO do any work that is un-
necessary or under the circumstances
humliating-save in punishment for some
military offense. If commissioned Off
Ger exceeds his authority he is subject to
court-martial. and Il private soldier may
prefer charges against him. The Army
regulations very effectively protect the
private soldiers in their legitimate rights
