Serving warrant of arrest on man

from Carroll county. Jake Lonagan
was indicted at Fort Smith for selling
liquor. He was at Harrison, and learn
ing OF the indictment, called up Mar

fed his willingness to surrendr. Ham
mack read the warrant over the tele-

Outlook Bright.

1t is probable the Frisco road will
buy the Eureka Springs branch and
extend it to Harrison through the min
eral belt OF the northwestern part of
the state. From present indications,
predictions OF year ago that Arkansas
would be in the lead in railroad build
ing for the year 1899 seems likely to
prove true.

WHOLESALE GROcERS.

SOUTHERN WHOLESALE GROC-

The Wholesale Grocers' Association
of Norfolk VIII be REPRESENTED at the
meeting of the Southern Wholesale
Grocers' Association Il; Ashevllle, n.
c.. by Mr.. II. b. Goodridge ana Mr..
Nj. l.. II. Davis.
They VIII leave for Ashevillc next
Tuesday night. The association will
discuss the matter OF the recent COM
binations of CAPITAL in the sha9c of
trusts. These trusts affect the whole
sale Grocers by reason of the fact that
in many places these trusts have re-
duced their number of selling agents
and appointed their own agcnts. This
directly affects the wholesale grOcers
all over the country. The trusts have
organized systems Of selling and the
Wholesalers now recognize the fact that
they must organize more perfect sys-
t4'm Of buying in order TO protect their
own interests.
Another important matter is that of
the cOmpetition Of Arbucklc Brothers
with the Su"ar Trust. which. in some
states. has broken down the restricted
selling price on sugars so that the
wholesale "roccrs - those States have
been compelled to sell sugars below cost
because the competition has been so
severe between the rciincrics of the
Sugar Trust and Arbucllc BROTHERS
that these 2artics have both. in some
states inaugura;ed the practice OF sell
ing directly 20 the retail dealers.
There viii lie discussion of the
maintenance of contract prices and the
enforcement Of penalties for the viola
ton of contracts. and discussion of
means for making local associations
moro effective.
The meeting will be in session for
three days. 1t is expected that there
VIII be present between two hundred
and three hundred delegates. covering
all of the Southern States. and that inn
nortant action may be taken in some of
the matters noted above.

All kinds of queer developments come
out of the Dreyfus case. The latest
move is that Dreyfus should not be
brought to France, but should have his
examination conducted by telegraph
between Paris and Cayenne. If this
scheme should be carried out it will
prove the most costly examination on
record, for the value of a message is
about five dollars word, and his evil
dence, together with cross examination
may easily run from $1,000 to 10000
words. The object of holding the exam
ination in this way is to avoid the
demonstration in France were Dreyfus
present in that country. However af-
ter all the undetermined acts that have
been perpetrated by the French mill
tary authorities who could be certain
that an examination 50 conducted
would be correct.

MANILA PROBLEM.

The United States consular agents
in the east seems to have been getting
into trouble. Consul Pratt of Singa-
pore has been recalled and it is very
probable that Consul Wildman of
Hongkong will have to follow suit
The ground for the action on the part
of the executive is that both consuls
entered into the engagements with
Aguinaldo which they had no right to
do and which has seriously hampered
the naval and military authorities of
the United States.
Consul Widman for a time kept him
self very prominently before the people
of the United States and the kilograms
about his doings represented him as
almost the equal of Dewey. Later on
it was discovered that Widman suppl
ed the kilograms himself, and as the
Argonaut puts it, a month or so ago
the Wildman boom suffered a collapse.
There seems no doubt that there are
grave complications between the insur-
gents and the Americans which have
to a certain extent been fostered by
the Unauthorized action of these con-
suls, and that the executive and it's ma
val and military authorities have been
placed in a somewhat awkward posi-
ton with regard to the insurgents.
The position in the Philippines is an
extremely delicate one. 1t is more diff
cut than in Cuba or Porto Rico Those
n p1nGn n ghnrac Of no TTnifp1
States, and it takes very little time to
be ready to act there, but the Philip
pines are so far away, the conditions of
the islands are different and the popu-
lation is different. 1t behooves the
greatest care in dealing with questions
there, and above all it requires no I'M
authorized meddlng.
