VIII Purvis Recommended for Pardon.

The board of control has recommend
ed to the governor the pardon of VIII
Purvis, the famous whitecap prisoner
Of Marion county, serving a life SEN
tence for murder, This action is based
mainly upon strong letter from Dis
trict Attorney Neville, who prosecuted
Purvis upon the charge of killing Win
Buckley, a Acknowledgements, in 1895.
In his letter to the board Mr.. Neville
states that Purvis was convicted at the
time when feeling was high against
whitecap outrages, then of almost
nightly occurrence in that section, and
that he would never have been convict.
ed but for the testimony of Buckley s
brother, who swore he saw Purvis FIRE
the fatal shot. Mr.. Neville further
stated that he had since had reason to
believe Bucliley's brother was mistaken.
He strongly recommended the par-

MISSISSIPPI MATTERS.


ihc SoFeiHoE has pdruoneu w. n.
Howard, Harrison county, forgery, sen.
fenced to two years Imprisonment.
towards case is a novel one, he having
never been placed in the penitentiary
lie was convicted and sentenced, but
appealed to the supreme court and was
pardoned while the appeal was pend
ing. This is the first pardon pending
appeal granted under the new constitu-
tion, which forbids in express terms the
granting of pardons before convic-
ton, as was permitted under the old
constitution. This case therefore raises
an unique question as to whether a
prisoner is convicted" in the meaning
of the constitution, while his cause is
pending for final determination in the
supreme court. But even admitting
that the pardon might be unconstitu-
tional, there is further and still more
curious question or complication which
arises. Our supreme court has held
that violation of the constitution can
only be pleaded by the party whose
rights are affected thereby. In this
case the prisoner being the party whose
rights are affected" win hardly ask to
have the pardon annulled That being
the case the only course open to the
district attorney, if he still desired to
pursue the matter, would be to have
the party re-arrested. The prisoner
would then sue out a writ of :labeaa
corpus and set up his pardon. These
complicated questions could have been
avoided had the prisoner first dismissed
his appeal, thereby making his convic-
ton complete.

The Coast Defense.

"Attention is especially invited TO
the experience of the last few months
in attempting to provide quickly a
coast defense, 1t is believed to be inn
practicable and we Will always be
forced in any emergency to rely upon
what has been provided in the time o.

not III the way of complaint, that this

"The situation is very simple. 4 plan
has been adopted for providing a com
pete coast defense. With the present

can he carried on economically and in
the most efficient manner in such Il

to be submitted each year for so much

congress how much of the work can
be provided for each year consistently
with the resources of the country. But
the work cannot progress faster than

GEN. FLAGLERS'S REPORT.
Interesting Facts Concerning the Provide
ing of Arms and Ammunitiop and
the Coast Line Defense.

Washington, Nov. 14.--Gen. Flag.
Ter, chief of the bureau of ordnance,
has made his annual report to the rec
rotary of war. 1t shows that there
were expended during the fiscal year
ending June 80, 1898, $7,34s,79j, and
that there stiIl remains Of the appro-
priation made for the ordnance bu-
reau S19, 1885 This large sum is de-
rived from the appropriations for the
fiscal year which were made for war
purposes amounting to S2l,j04, ,j92.
The Equipment of Volunteers.
Regarding the equipment of yolun-
teers, the general thinks it would be
as well to have the government equip
them instead of bringing their state
arms into service, saying that it could
be done as quickly, owing to the cons
dition of the arms of the state troops.
He speaks in terms of praise of the
manner in which work has been per-
formed in arsenalS and ordnance fac
tories in the rush that was made in
putting the country on a footing for
war with Spain. AS to the equipment
of the army, he says:
Impractica5ie to Keep Supplies on Hand.
80 long as the principal dependence
in this country in time of war is a
large volunteer force. newly levied, it
is impracticabe to keep on hand large
supplies of cavalry, artillery and horse
equipments, as these in the course of
a few years will not only deteriorate,
but will have to be materially modi-
fled to keep pace with improvements.
The ma jor part of such material can.
by taking advantage Of the resources
of Rock Island and the other arsenals
and the numerous private establish
ments capable OF producing it, be sup
piled as rapidly as troops can be raised,
mustered into service and prepared
for campaign. There should, however,
be on hand field and seige artillery
with carriages and a portion OF the
harness required for 100000 men. Such
guns and carriages can not be turned
out in large numbers until about six
months after initiating the work"
Must be Prepared for Emergencies.
For equippng an army with a sup
ply of small arms, he thinks there
should be supply of 100000 on hand
of any new arm, and the arsenaIs kept
| in condition so as to produce 1900 per
day.
An interesting feature of the report
| is that which treats of coast defense.

House Heating In Russia.

The art OF heating houses is re-

At the end of October every window
in a dwelling is sealed with putty
and not opened again until spring,
and there is only one aperture left
by which every day for few min
utes some fresh air is let in. The
stoves are of porcelain, and an arm
full of wood is put into them in the
morning, which proves sufficient to
give out great heat for "a hours.
