Withdraws From the Race as a Candidate
for Governor.
Woodville, Miss, March %, 1899.

Woodville, Miss, March 23,, 1899.
Edi.or Woodville Republican:
I regret exceeding Y to be compelled
to announce my withdrawal from the
GubernatOrial race in the face of fiat
tering prospects of success and the
warm support of friends throughout
the State. but personal considerations.
beyond my control, confrGnt me with
the necessity Of choosing between an
imperative duty or the qualification of
u most laudahle ambition, and / choose
the former. thank you, and through
you my friends and those newspapers
which have given me their voluntary
support. and regret that thus find it
necessary to withdraw from he con-
test. J. H. JONES.
The announcement of Col. Jones'
withdrawal is very generally received
with much regret, even by many who
openly espoused the claim of other
candidates. Doubtless, he was impelled
to this determination by his reluctance
to enter what may be called an indls>
criminate scramble. He had a large
following, and enjoyed the confidence
OF every element OF the Democratic
party. His personal, as we'll as polili-
cal character attached to him a pres
tige that is as honorable to him as is
the nattering record that he made. A
man of high resolve and generous pur-
pose, united to inhexible integrity, his
elevation to any position of honor and
duty would assuredly command the
approval of the people Of Mississippi.
While candidate, the SENTINEL
can truly say that not word to his
detriment was ever uttered, but on IN.
contrary the highest encomiums were
passed upon him as a gentleman with.
out blemish and public man with
stainless record.

sQUEALING.

The Vicksburg Herald and other
anti-McLaurin papers are now engaged
in d campaign of excuses for the
miserable failure of Hon John Allen
at Winona. The disgust engendered
there has spread all over the State,
and if the election were to come off to-
day Mr. Allen would not carry twenty
counties in the State. His unftness
for the exalted position of senator Of
this great State was made so apparent
that his candidacy was then and there
condemned and his doom sealed. Like
the poisoned shirt of Nessus, it will
stick to him, and the frantic efforts of
his disinterested progenitcr, the Hon.
Murray Smith, cannot relieve him.
The Herald says:
I'm passing just judgment upon Mr..
Aliens severity sight cannot be lost OF
the provocation-the most odious pos
sible to a Mississippi Democratic leader
of to-day. 1t cuts him off wholly from
all hope of public station of honor or
profit. Silver Democrats, especially.
realizing this will be charitable in
measuring out condemnation for re-
sentiment Of the imputaton the Govern
or and his organs have aimed to han6i-
cap Mr.. Aliens candidacy with-that
he is catspaw OF the reprobate gold
bug faction"
Who begun it? VINO inaugurated
this campaign Of viifcation? The
Carthaginian says:
"The senatorial discussion was open
ed at . o'clock in the afternoon by
Private John Allen. He devoted few
minutes to a review of national affairs,
and then led off on matters of State
interest. He attacked the administra
tion of Gov. McLaurin in most saw
age fashion, and it was soon apparent
that the senatorial struggle thus in
augurated would be acrimonious in the
eXtrcme-that it must be war to the
knife and the knife to the hilt. He
frequently turned to address his re-
marks directly to the Governor, who
sat near him palld and weak from his
recent severe and protracted illness.
His speech was characteristic, being
favored now and then with a joke de-
signed to point a moral or adOrn a tale.
The assault was a fierce one, and lis
savageness tended. as we believe. TO
mar its effectiveness.

Miles to be Consulted by new secre'

WASHINGTON, D. c., July A.-ofh-
GERS Of the army who are in a position
to know, unite in the opinion that the
status OF Major General Miles in the
war department will be materially
changed upon the assumption by Ellhu
Root, of the duties Of secretary Of war.
Since the beginning OF the war with
Spain the relations existing between
General Miles and Secretary Alger, as
well as Adjutant General Corbln, have
been anything but friendly. The situa.
tion has grown steadily worse until AZ
present, SO far as power Is concerned
General Miles is nothing more than q
1gurehead.
II is already said by friends OF MT
Root, who has accepted the war porto,
Ito from Mr.. Mckinley. that General
Miles viii be consulted freely in army
matters by the new secretary OF war
Although Mr.. Root does not bear any
particular feeling OF aversion toward
General Miles detractoFs in the army
hts frionds claim that he Will give them
TO understand that the major general
commanding the army is no longer to
be persecuted, and that the future must
be void OF offense against General
Miles Mr.. Roots friends soy that the
plotting which has been going at the
war department for some time Will
have to cease and that clean admin
IstratIon of affairs Is to follow.
Army officers say that II General

by General Otis in the far east, partic'
uiarly concerning his opinion as to the

President Mckinley has apparently
not yet realized the necessity OF such 9
change, although General OTIS recall
seems to be the popular verdict OF the
people throughout the country. Wheth-

Grating the names and qualifications Of

Convention for the adoption OF laws
against the use of asphyxiating or dele
teriouS gases from balloon projoCtiles,
and for the prohibition of the use o.
bullets that actually expand in the hu-
man body"
The general act contains five express
siops Of opinion, aS follows: The con-
ference considers that limitations Of the
military charges which at present OPP
press the world are greatly to be de-
sired for the increase Of the material
and moral welfare Of mankind.
"The conference expresses the opinion
that the question of the rights and
duties of neutrals should be inscribed
on the programme of a conference 70
be held at an early date.
"The conference expresses the opin-
ion that questions relative to the type
and callbre of rifles and naval artillery.

ject of study by the different governs
meuts with a view of arriving at uni
form solution by a future conference"

why the United States VIII not be
Bound by Conference Decision.
WASHINGTON. July 24.-The United
states will not be bound by the report
ed decision Of The Hague conference to
prohibit the use of the dumdum bullet
in warfare. SO far we have not been
Obliged to resort to the use Of this bull
let, but the ordnance officers have been
making experiments to secure an In
crease in the stopping" effect Of the
small callbre barrel used In the RraE-
Jorgensen and these experiments have
proceeded somewhat on the lines Of the
dumdum bullet. The specific reason
why Captain crozier and the remainder
OF the American delegates voted
against the proposal to prohibit the
dumdum was because their general In
structlons forbade them to pledge this
government to any line action that
would retard the development of inVen-
tive genius in warfare. Adhesion to
the protocols is voluntary. Great Bril-
tain, It Is understood, also refused to
prohibit the use OF the dumdum bullet.
