Warsaw which necessitates the donation of
1910 by the assembly to square him with the
world. Yesterday he received check for
that amount which he cashed at Warsaw
and placed in his upper vest pocket. Some
thief who saw him receive the money was
sharp enough to cut out the whole pocket
without Mr.. Reynard noticing it. Just where
the robbery occurred is hard to tell, as he
has no way of knowing that, but the loss
was not noticed until ne was about to retire
last night when he saw the mutilated
pocket and at once reported his loss to the
Warsaw police, who, however, kept the
story from reaching the ears of those at the
park until to-day, when the assembly, by
a vote, instructed the stated clerk to act
with committee and get the unlucky pas
tor out of his unpleas1nt predicament.

be forwarded from place to place until they
reach the soldier. This change in the regu-
ation was made for the benefit of those
soldiers whose regiments change their loca-
ton.

CHAMBERLAIN WILL RESIGN.
Will Not Remain In the Cabinet to Share
the shipwreck of II Policy He
Never Approved.

LONDON, June est is rumored that
Mr.. Joseph Chamberlain, secretary of
state for the colonies. will shortly re.
sign from the ministry, in order to as
sumo the leadership of a large number
of unionists in the house of commons
who are discontented with the foreign
policy of the government. There
seems to be no doubt that Mr.. Cham.
berlain is dissatisfied with his present
position, and if affairs in the far east
and in West Africa take the turn he
expects, his friends believe that he
will not remain in the cabinet to share
the shipwreck of a policy he never ap.
proved. Whatever may be theoutcome,
the disqueting idea is undoubtedly
prevalent in conservative circles that
Mr.. Chamberlain contemplates some
sensational move, and the extent to
which this is credited shows how lit
tie MI. Chamberlain can count upon
tory confidence.

Gen. Blanco's air of pretended CON
tidence will quickly end as soon as
Santiago falls and the march on Ha-
vana begins. His forts at Havana
occasionally fire on the blockading
vessels now, because the blockaders
refuse to waste their powder on the
forts. When the army gets in the rear
of Havana and SIMPSONS squadron
gets in front OF it. the day of doom for
Blanc0 and his men will come. 1t
will undoubtedly be found then that
the forts at Havana are as easy a
mark for the American ships as those
OF San Juan and Santiago have been.
The firing OF the Havana forts these
days, therefore, will moi anger the
Yankees. They shoot best who shoot
last.-Globe- Democrat.

The failure of Judge Riley to hold
the adjourned term of the Circuit
Court at Jackson this week has been
a disappointment to many people.
The Judge, we understand, gave no
reason for not holding court but just
wrote the officers of the court that
there would be no court till the ECU
August term. Lawyers and clients
are alike disappointed and Judge
Riley is being cursed by many who
seldom use curse words.

A Paxico (Kansas) reader of the
Globe Democrat, himself a colored
man of education and influence. sug-
gests that when the United States
takes Porto Rico the government
should colonize the island with
negroes from this country, and allow
them to form an autonomous regime
similar to that of Canada under the
British Empire, to be known as the
Afro-American Republic, and he asks
us if there are and legal impediments
to this scheme. There are none.
When Porto Rico comes into Ameri-
can hands Congress can, under the
constitution, set up in the island any
