Guy JACK ACQUITTED.
Under Instructions of Judge Hud
dleston the jury Brought in
Verdict OF Not Guilty.


DsKalb. Miss, March %. -
The trial of Guy Jack came.
rather suddenly, to an end here,
this afternoon. The state re-
sumed the introduction of testi
mony when court convened this
morning, and introduced several
witnesses, whose testimony had
no particular bearing on the case
as tending to prove the existence
of conspiracy between Jack
and DR.. W. H. Lipsconb.
Shortly after noon the state
closed its case and the counsel
for the defense moved to exclude
the testimony offered by the state
because it did not prove or tend
to prove any conspiracy between
Guy Jack and Dr.. Lipscomb,
and because it did not prove nor
tend to prove that the defendant,
Jack, had been connected or had
any agency whatever. criminal OF
otherwise, in the death OF Stew
art. The defense further con
tended that the state had signal
ly failed to show the existence Of
conspiracy between Jack and
Lipscomb as the counsel had de-
clared they would do.
The court sustained the motion
to exclude all the testimony Of
fered by the state, and instructed
the jury to return a verdict Of
not guilty. The jury thereupon
retired and in a few moments
filed into court with a verdict in
accordance with the instructions
of Judge Huddleston, and Jack
was accordingly released from
custody.
This ends case that has ex-
cited a great deal of interest
throughout the state and south.
1t will be remembered that Jack
holds insurance policies aggre-
eating $4,000 on the life Of
Chas. t. Stewart, the man who
was murdered by poison and for
whose murder DR.. w. II. Lips
comb has been convicted and
sentenced to life term in the
penitentiary. Jack was indicted
by the grand jury two years ago,
with Dr.. Lipscomb, for this
crime, and if the indictment
could have been sustained he
would not only have gone TO the
penitentiary with Lipscomb, but
the insurance policies would have
been forfeited and the companies
been able to evade their pay
ment.

Private news from the Philip

cials have talked so as to leave
the impression that the reports
OF Gen. Otis, since the victories
of the past week have been to the
effect that Aguinaldo's army is
about ready to ask for terms and
that general collapse of the re-
bellion may be looked for at any
time. Owing to the strict CEN
sorship, no private telegrams
dealing with the conditions ex-
isting, can be sent from Manila
direct, but some have been sent
to Hong Kong by boat and ca
bled from there, which do not
take such a rosy view of the sit

war is q long ways from being
over. and the only effect that will
follow thrashing Aguinaldo's
army, which our troops do every
time they come into contact with
any portion of it, will be to
transfer the fighting ground TO

rHE wHIrE MANS RuRpEN.

Take up the White Mans burden
Send forth the best We breed
Go, bind your sons to exile
To serve your captives' need;
To wait, in heavy harness,
On fluttered folk and wild
Your new-caught, sullen people,
Half devil and half child,
Take up the White Mans burden
In patience to abide,
TO veil the threat of terror
And check the show Of pride;
BY open speech and simple,
An hundred times made plain,
To seek another's profit
And work another's gain.
Take up the White Mans burden
The savage wars OF peace
Fill full the mouth of Famine,
And bid the sickness cease;
And when your goal is nearest
(The end for others sought)
Watch sloth and heather folly
Bring ali your hopes TO naught.
Take up the White Mans burden
No iron rule OF kings,
But toll OF serf and sweeper
The tale OF common things.
The ports We shall not enter,
The roads We shall not tread,
Go, make them with your living
And mark them with your dead.
Take up the White MANS burden
And reap his old reward
The blame of those We better,
The hate of those we guard
The cry Of hosts We humor
(Ah slowiyl) toward the light
'sWhy brought ye us from bondage,
Our loved Egyptian night?'
Take up the White Mans burden
Ye dare not stoop to Less
Nor call too loud on Freedom
To cloak your weariness.
BY all we will or whisper,
BY all We leave or do,
The silent, sullen peoples
Shall weigh your God and you.
Take up the White Mans burden
Have done with childish days
The lightly proffered laurel,
The easy, ungIudged praise,
Comes now, to search your manhood
Through all the thanlSless years,
Cold, edged with dear-bought wisdoi
Tho judgment Of your peers.

TALKED OF BUSINESS
Wool Manufacturers Report
 Good Times.
An Era of Prosperity Has Set in Which is Felt Throughout inc Country by inc Manufacturers.

Boston, Jan. 16.-The annual meet ing of the the National Assoc on of Woollen Manufacturers was held in this city today. The report of the sec retary, s. N. D. North, was an exhaus- tive review cf the year, which, he said, 'Opened with a rosy picture Of the 1 transformation that seemed to have al ready Cvertaken the wccl manufactur er'' but which, as time went Cn, was succeeded by changes which brought surprise and cOnsternation, and seemed as inexplicable as it was unexpected. Looking backward, we can partially account for it; but some of it's phases remain as mysterious as eve-.", Con- tinuing the report says:
 With all classes 'cf mills it has been a year of small business of much anX- iety and often of hardship and embar rassment The chief exceptions have been in mills where large orders foc army and navy supplies have been ob- tained; but the extraordinary demands of the government have failed to exert any such influence upCn the market as ' uIld ordinarily ldavc followed them.
 '.The number of failures and assign ments in the wool manufacture has been larger, involving a greater pro- portion of important establishments, than in any year since nave been con- nected with this ssociation-larger, probably. than in any previous year since the panic of 1857.
 ''These many disasters among wool len mills are net due merely to the bad business conditions Of the current year: they are the culminatiCn of series of years of short business at less than living prices. The impairment in capital reaches back. in most instances, to the strain of 1894, since when there has been no single year in which it has been possible tC recCup the heavy losses then encountered Taking the whole period into account, with the two violent readjustments Of values ! that have marked it, the s.rain has been unprecedented in degree and dur atiOn.

THE BATTLE BEGINS TODAY
A Joint Convention of Miners 10 Be
 Held.

Pittsburg, Jan. 16.-This week will witness the battle royal between the ccal operators and the united mine workers ever the interstate agreement. A joint convention is scheduled for tc- morrow afternoon. but if the miners dc not get through With their business meeting it will be postponed until Wednesday.
 It is generally understood that the operators will energatically oppose the advance in price of mining and will fight tc the end any agreement look ing toward an increase in the preseE wa ges. J
 Some delegates say they will irsi5t upon an advance in wages and an eight hour day. They claim that nearly all the mines of the country are being worked to their full capacity and that there is a scarcity Of miners in many districts. The Michigan iron ore ope- rators are sending agents through the ccal mining districts of Illinos, en- gazing ccal diggers to- go to the iron mines. Altogether the situaticn, they say, warrants asking for more money Some of the delegates even we9t so far as to hint that if their demands were net compiled with a strike Of greater magnitude than the country has s2e1 fer years would be inaugurated next summer.

in detail the record of its operation
 during the first fiscal year. The sta tistics are extraordinary and unprece- dented They ref1ect the dEmor3 lized condition of the domestic goods mar ket, without in any way explaining it..
 In the year ending June 30 last the tctal fOrtign value of the imports of
 wcCllens of every description entered
 for consumption only reached SIP, ,778.-
 S64. The average imports of the only three full years throughout which the
 Mckinley act was in force were $3S,- 224.S17; while the average Of the three full years of the Wilson tariff was $46- 399, ,929.
 Notice has repeatedly been givsn of the purpose of certain representatives of the wool growers to demand re- opening of Schedule K, with a view to increasing the rates of duty on wool The facts stated make it plain that no opportunity has yet been had to deter mine the actual effects Of the existing rates of duty, either upon the domestic wool growing industry, or upon the domestic manufacture The specula- tive movement in wool, the effects of which upon the manufacture we have seen, has prevented any test of the new wool duties, from the point of view either of grower or manufacture The true equilibrium of prices has had no chance to establish itself We are all equally and absolutely ignorant Of what is to be the practical operation of the new duties under normal business conditions. Nc individuel CT body has the right to denounce these duties as inadequate for protective purposes, while the demand for wool remains so slack as to keep the domestic price far below the price at which foreign com peting wool can be imported
 ''The tctal imports of wool entered for consumption in that portion cf the fiscal year under the DingIey law were the smallest in quantity since the year 1879, Ire panic year of 1894 alone ex- cepted"

NAVY PERSONNEL BILL
A Fierce Fighf Has Developed Within
 inc Navy.

Washington, Jan. 16.-The naval per- scnnel bill and the eff-rt to relieve stagnation in the service have develop ed one of the fiercest fights within the navy, just at the time when there was every promise that tle measure woulf pass congress, and a long deferred rc- form be inauguratGd.
 Captain A s. Cr0wninshield, chief of the bureau of navigation has put in writing his protest aga n5t the pa s ge of the bill in its present shape, and this will be forwarded tc congress without comment by Secretary Long. Captain Crowninshield was a member of the original tCard on personnsl, but was opposed to the scheme, and fiLally gave his official approval of the Ro-ss- welt measure with reluctance. He IS quoted now as saying that he never be- lieved the bill would resch it's present stage, and that he gave his endi-rse- ment at the time of it's preparation simply because he realized that it was the only scheme then available. He finds at the last hour the provision fer actual or positive rank fir staff otti- cers, such as the surgeons and pay eff cers, and he believes the c-nfeIrring Of such rank a menace to the service. It is nothing more or less than revival Of the old line and staff fight, and in form and at time when this petty warfare is apt to kill the entire bill. Staff officers who are concerned in the incident are highly incensed ove- the affair. The engineers share their sen timents, although the engineers be- come line officers with positive rank, on the passage of the b.ll. The young CT line officers do net take aitive part in the fight against the doctors and tl3 paymasters and thoss who had any thing to say today expressed rgret that the omincus phase should have been presented at this last moment
 The line officers, Whc are represented by Crowninshield and Evans, have se- cured friends fer their cause. and it is possible that an attempt will be made to take the privilege of actual rank from staff officers and give them the old relative rank, under which they have grown restive. This c-urse may present a debate, and should the rela- tive rank advocates prCve strong en-ugh, their position may delay and defeat the bill. One amendment to be offered on the f1CCT is for judge advo- cate generals department, similar t1 the corps of judge advocates in the army. The functions of such branch are now performed by 3. judge advocate general. attached to the secretary's, billet filled by naval officer. The sys- tenn has many defects, and has wrought much injustice during the past twenty years as one of the crudest fea- lures of naval administration. The at tempt to eStabIsh a new cCrpS is en- dorsed by Secretary Long, but, as usual in such instances, these who are most int AOy-n fnh q rI,t@ n est for the scheme hope to profit per scnally by the new branch. Che Of those who will speak for the proposed corps is Congressman Hilborn Of Cali !! fornia, who wants to secure a D sitto1 i as judge advocate.
