Southeastern Tariff Associa-
ton.
Shreveport Progress.

Shreveport Progress.
Things-in reference to insur,
ance matters in our city remain in
statue quo. There is considera.
BILE feeling in the matter, and the
property owners feel that they
have been imposed upon. In fact
this is a mild way of expressing
it. The people believe that the
Southeastern Tariff Association,
the potentate that is supposed to
control the local insurance compa.
MES, is oppressive beyond mea-
sure, in its dealings with our city.
The Progress has done its best
to make our people see that Nero,
in his most reckless humors, was
not more oppressive and tyranical
than in this organization dealing
with the people. Unsuitable in its
demands, regardless of the rights
of others, having no thought, save
for its own treasury, this great
gormandizer has continued to suck
the life blood of the business in
dustries, and by it's sting seeks to
paralyze into submission all who
oppose its ghoulish sway.
It is time to call q halt, to throw
off the yoke of servile bondage 10
such tyrannical master, and We
are profoundly glad to know that
the people are doing il.
Fire insurance is business ne.
cessity; but it is not necessary to
insure with any company which
owns allegiance TO the SontheAst.
ern Tariff Association. There 10
no question but the protection can
be gotten elsewhere, and at .
cheaper rate. Therefore, why
stand our business men idle? Why
not rise in their sovereign strength
and paralyze the autUcratic soV.
ereign by doing business with
others. Insurance can. be gotten
elsewhere, and cheaper than tho
people have been paying. Then
why submit longer to the indigni.
ties that this association impose
upon our people2

THE SOLDIER VOTERS.
The Difficulty in Obtaining Lists of
Those in Luxon.

ALBANY, n. Y, Sept. 27--John T. Nc
Donough, Secretary OF State, has returned
from a trip to Washington, where he
went to secure data showing the location
of soldier voters from this State now serv-
ing in the military service of the United
States. Secretary McDonough learned
from Secretary Root that 1.400 men from
New York had been enlisted under the last
call for ten volunteer regiments for SER
vice in the Philippines. The War Depart
ment records did not have these enlisted
men classified in their respective COM
mands but the Secretary OF War set i'm
mediately to work 10 do this and as soon
as the clerks finish their labors the State
authorities will learn the result.
So little time is available before cleo
tion that it will be practically impossible
to work out a scheme for securing votes
for the New York soldiers al Manila. but
the registry lists and nominations will De
forwarded as the law directs. In some
cases the secretary of state finds that II
will be almost impossible to secure local
party nominations prior to twenty days
before election. AT the Navy Department
the secretary of state found no register of
the New York sailor voters, and said the
officials could only afford him list Of the
ships and the stations they were on.

view.
"Ots has tried to do too much in pretty
nearly every direction. He has tried 10
conduct active operations over an extended
field no square foot of which he ever saw.
He has tried 10 prevent real soldiers under
him from bringing the Tagal insurrection
TO a close, by ordering retreats in the mo-
ment of victory. He has tried to establish
a little navy of his own as an adjunct to
his or Denby's Commercial policy" He
has tried to keep news of his movements,
failures, peculiar practices, and the scan
dals of his administration from the Ameri-
can people and even his Government. He
has tried TO suppress fact and promulgate
fiction by strict censorship" and by al
tering the dispatches of press correspond
ents to suit his views and designs He has
tried to prove himself a towering, monu
mental preyaricator. He has tried to do
the country. He has not tried to do the
rebels.

Mystery of the steamer Aduia's Sink



KINGSTON. Jamaica. Sept. 27.-There Is
much mystery about the sinking of the At
las Steamship Company's steamer the
Adula yesterday in four hundred fathoms
of water. There was a perfect calm az the
time. The steamer listed twice after
leaving Kingston, from which port she had
sailed at daybreak. but the helm righte
her. Her third list, which occurred when
she was about three miles of the eastern
extremity of Jamaica, was so alarming
that the captain ordered the cargo, con-
sisting of two thousand barrels OF oranges.

Every man was on deck at the time, but
The list was so rapid that nothing could be
done. Life belts were served out and the
boats were lowered. The crew. numbering
seventeen, leaped overheard. Five Of them
were drawn into the vortex as the steamer
sank and were drowned. Connor. the car
penter was fatally injured by the revoly-
ing propeller and died soon afterward-
No satisfactory explanation has been OF
fered for the accident. Captain Forwood
suggests that the suction pump in the bal
last tank may have burst. letting one hun
dred and ten tons of water into the hold
The general opinion is that the Adula was
topheavy, as her cargo was all between
decks.
No bodies were recovered Sharks

A SETTLEMENT IN SIGHT.
Grounds Upon Which the Chicago
Strikers May Yield.

CHICAGO. Sept. 2I.-Unless the Fall fes-
tival committee yields to the demands of
the labor unions in regard TO the corner
stone of the new postoffice the elaborate
ceremonies planned for October and the
week following will have to be abandoned.
What is generally taken as an ultimatum
from the labor unions was delivered yes
terday evening by Father B. P. Murray
ard p. H. O'Donnell who have represented
the Stonecutters' Union on the arbitration
committee having the question in hand.
After reviewing the facts leading UP 10 the
present situation the statement is as fol-
lows: lt-
I'VE believe the laboring men would, in
the interests of the fall festival and the
city, willingly settle the contention Under
certain conditions, and we would, there
fore, suggest to the committee that resolu-
tions be passed repudiating all unkind
things said about union labor and its rep
resentative NJ. J. Sullivan, and granting
union men permission to. cut and lay the
cornerstone, recommending the material in
the building be cut in this city. If this is
done. and Mr.. Truax stands aside, we be-
lieve all other obligations will be waived
by organized labor. If due consideration is
not given union labor demands. it is use
less to expect harmonious settlement of
the difficulty"

as far as Dewey is concerned, by lhe
knowledge that his comrade has come

Naval regulations and etiquette would
give Rear Admiral Howison precedence IN
the ceremonies OF the Dewey celebration
over Matanzas Sampson, but the Navy
Department will not allow so small thlng
70 stand in the WY of its determination
to gIorify its favorite.
Regulations are interpreted strictly and
severely when that course is in line with
the views and policy of Long and his NaVi-
CATION Bureau Otherwise they are cheer
fully ignored The country does not forget
the instance of captain who was illegally
given the title of rear admiral and made
commander-in-chiefo of a feet with TWO OF
his suneriors in rank under him. And
this outrage upon the service was COM
mitted and permitted on an order Of the
Secretary of the Navy.
Howison will unquestionably share the
fate of Schley. and be prosecuted for plac-
ing the navy ring once more in a contempt
ible light before the American people.
Probably Long will assign him to the COM
r,and Of a counIe of colliers in the marine

DISCUSSIONS ON PRISON LABOR
Carroll ID. Wright Speaks in Favor
of Convict Camns.


of Convict Camps.
HARTFORD, Conn, Sept. 27-Hon. Car
roll d. Wright. of Washington. United
States Commissioner of Labor addressed
the National Prison Congress last night on
prison labor. He traced its evolution from
the time 1t was used as an economic meas
ure to the present adoption as an aid to de-
famation. AS the latter, he characterized
as most efficient. He then explained the
five different systems of its use and said
he considered the State system, by which
the products are used only In State insti-
tutions, as the best because it did not join
it into competition with paid labor. He
also spoke in favor of the convict camps
of the South, though he had formerly been
outspoken against them. After seeing them
he had become convinced of their necessity
for the health of the convicts of that sec
tion. .,-''--a
AT the day session John j. Lyttle, Of
Philadelphia, read the report of the COM
mittee on discharged prisoners, which dealt
with the future of released convicts. It
brought out the almost utter impossibiiity
for former convict to secure honest en-
ployment.
Warren F. Spaulding. of Boston, read a
paper on the same subjeet,-in which he
pointed out that the convict thrown out
into an unsympathetic wafd, without a
friend was confronted by Choice between
theft and starvation. He appealed not only
to philanthropists, but to business men
as well, to give the matter their considera-
tion. Chaplain Barnes, of the. Massachu-
setts State prison. told of a farm estab-
lished for such unfortunates.
