COTTON MILLS INDICTED.

Charged With Violating the Antitrust
Law in the Matter of the Purchase of
Cotton Seed.
JACKSON, Miss, Nov. 14.-Attor-
ney General McClurg to-day filed a
declaration in the Circuit Court,
charging 10 cotton oil mills in the
State with violating the new anti
trust law. The declaration asks for
a forfeiture of character and that
the statutory penalty be imposed.
It also sets forth that the mills VIC
lated the law by entering into a com
bination to control the prices of cot
ton seed and that this combination.
also prevents competition among in
suPance companies for oil mills, and
competition among railroads for
hauling the seed. During the early
part of the season the price Of the
seed went as high as $50 per ton.

REORGANIZATION NOT NECESSARY, SAYS
RICHARDSON.
Let Good Enough AlOne-The Present Organ
ization Will Control the Democratic Party
and Write its Platform.

Let Good Enough AIOne-The Present Organ
ization Will Control the Democratic Party
and Write its Platform.
NEW YORK, Nov. 17.-Representa-
tive James D. Richardson has made
the following statement of his views
of the scheme of Democratic reor-
ganization
1.-The Democracy is strong and
true. It's principles are unchanged
and Interchangeable. No temporary
defeat d obscure it's brilliant rec
ord. The present organization has
done efficient and faithful work.
It has been free from the spirit of
commercialism. It has performed
it's duty in a way that, in my judg-
ment, has won for it the respect and
admiration Of the people. The pres
ent organization will continue to con-
troll, as it very properly should.
LAS to this scheme of re-organiza-
ton, I can say that the party wants
all the supporters it ear get. Every
man who believes in Democratic
principles is welcomed into the fold
But the Democratic party can make
no surrender of principle for expe-
diency's sake. 1t a make no sur
render to the commercialism of the
moment. When it does that it ceases
to be Democratic, and if it veers to-
catch every favoring breeze it will
soon be as far from it's original moor
Jugs as the Republican party is from
it's. Seven million voters revere.
the doctrine of Jefferson and advo-
cate his principles. These men VIII
not abandon their belief to please Is
minority of the party. The majority
rules in Republic and in our party.
mo one can say on what issue the
next battle will be fought. The
principles of our party are immuta-
BILE issues are created by conditions
Undoubtedly the men who call them
selves Democrats, but who have
been Republicans during the last two
national campaigns, will not be per-
mitted to define the issues and shape
politics for the Democratic party. I
believe the present,organization will
control. 1t exists in every hamlet,
town and city in the nation. 1t is
honest. It will go right ahead, just
as it has done during the last four
years.
"Mr. Bryan is undoubtedly ut
present the national leader of the
people. He has an immense follow
ing, to whom his sincerity, honesty
and patriotism are an inspiration.

THE RICE GROWERS conB1NAF1oU.

The Rice Growers Pattern After the Jordan
Plan for Tobacco Growers.
CHICAGO, Nov. 15.-The incorpo-
ration of the American Rice Grow
ers' Distributing Company was an
nounced yesterday. The capital
stock is SIS, 600, 900 of which 81, $780,
900 is reported paid in.
Local grocery circles credit John
W. Gates with being the prime NOV
er in the new corporation, principally
to control the shipment of the South
ern rice crop ever lines of railroads
in which he is interested. Mr..
Gates is at present out of the city.
The scheme contemplated is to
buy the bulk of the domestic rice
under contract with the growers to-
sell their crops for a stipulated figure
for a period Of four years, with the
privilege of extending the contract
an additional four years. Guaran-
teed prices to growers are understood
to be somewhat in excess of present
market price.

ANOTHER REQUIsITION FOR TAYLOR.

Beckham TO Request Indiana's New Governor
to Turn Him Over to the Kentucky Author
tiles.
FRANKFORT, KY, Nov. 17.-The
State Election Board will meet De
cember 3rd to canvass the returns
and officially declare the result of
the election in this State, While
the Republicans have formally con
coded the election of Beckham as
Governor and say there will be no
contest, both Republicans and Dem
ocrats will be represented by counsel
at the canvass of the vote. Every
phase of the election will be closely
watched by both sides as matters
may arise which will have a bear
ing on the contests for Congress
men in two districts-the third and
the ninth.
Governor Beckham will be inau-
.gurated December II. It is said one
of the first official papers Governor
elect Durbin, of Indiana, will have
to consider when he takes office will
be a requisition from Governor
Beckham for the return of former
Governor Taylor and ex. Secretary of
State Finley, to this State, for trial.
Leading Republicans claim to have
assurances from Indiana Republican
leaders that Mr.. Durbin will follow
the precedent set by Governor
Mount in these and will refuse to
honor the requisition.

AS a result of the elections the
Republicans have made a gain of
more than twenty seats in the House
and r promised a gain of five seats
in the Senate. A House has been
chosen in which the Republican ma
jority will be Is large a. that in the
House chosen in 1860 House in
which the Republicans will have a
majority Of over 80 in a member
ship of 357, a majority three time as
large as they have in the present
Congress. When Mr.. Mckinley was
inaugurated on the 9Th of March,
1892, the Republicans had a majority
of but one vote in the Senate. After
the 4th of March next the Republi-
cans will have a majority of %.
Thus is the Republican victory in
every sense more complete than in
1896.
President Mckinley last week an
nounced clearly and forcibly to the
members of his cabinet his desire
that they should all remain with
him during the four years of his
coming administration. His wishes
were made known in an extended
speech at the cabinet meeting in the
White House. Responses were made
by all the members present, and
while there was no definite pledge
from any of them that they would
accept the portfolios thus rendered
afresh, there has yet been on the
other hand, no definite declination
except by Attorney-G General Griggs.
The National Rural, an influential
western paper, says: Bryan also is
too good aman to suit the politicians
and many of his own party who knew
that should he be elected to the presi-
dency they would be unable to on
troll him, were quite willing to see
him defeated, and for this reason
were not strenuous in his behalf.
It is doubtful if the fusion forces
will ever again be united in another
contest. Bryan is the only la who
could have united them in this.
What the future will bring forth
therefore is uncertain. Probably a
new party will arise, while the Dem
ocratic party will go back into the
hands of those who formerly con-
trolled it and be again dominated by
the same influences"
The great banquet of leading Lon
doners, Nov. 9th, will be memorable
even to Americans, by reason of the
following remarkable u~tterance of
Lord Salisbury, who, in the presence
of 1900 guests, including United
States Ambassador Choate, the mem
bers of the British cabinet and many
of the leading men Of England,
spoke as follows of the American
election: 1--WE believe that the
cause which has won is the cause Of
civilization and commercial honor.
We believe those principle to be at
the root of all prosperity and all
progress in the world. Therefore,
we claim that we have as much right
tb rejoice in what has taken place
as the distinguished gentleman Gre
ferring to MI. Choate) who sits at
my side"

CHARLOTTE, N. c., Nov. 13.-The
great majority of the yarn mills Of
the South have entered into the
plan of controlling the sale of their

gate of 1875, O98 spindles have signified
their agreement to the now famous
concentration plan proposed by the
special committee and Endorsed by
the board of governors of the South
ern Cotton Spinners' Association.
The object of the plan is that the
selling of Southern cotton yarns be.
placed in the hands Of a limited mum
Der of Northern commission mer-

the reduction of selling costs and the
prevention of speculation in the
product of Southern yarn mills by

"rhc first charge I ever held was in
a small town in the western part 6f
the state" said the wellknOwn minis
ter who was in reminiscent mood.
1.-The town was not very large, and
my congregation was very poor ana
unable to contribute much toward the
support of n minister, so they made
up what they lacked In cash by hold
ing donation parties now and then dur
ing the year to eke out the small sal
ary that they paid.
"The first intictiOn of this kind that
l had was called Il pound donation
party, at which everyone was expect
ed to bring pound of something or
other. Among the congregation was
a member who had more worldly
goods than all the rest put together.
but he had the reputation of being
near and confess that looked for
ward with some interest to see what
he would bring.

but few small potatoes.

hard work to remember that l was a
minister of the gospel and treat him
pleasantly. He said that he wanted

and drew me aside.

1000. Conger.
Mr.. Conger's message was particular!
welcome to the officials, in showing
how completely the entire city is dom
mated by the allies. Mr.. ConGer's state
ment that "the conditions are chaotic
was taken as another strong justification
for the firm reply given to China. H'
emphasize the fact that the Chines'
army has fled, the imperial family ant
court have gone. and no representative
of the Chinese government Is to be seer
in Pekin.
Minister Conger makes no mention OF
his desire to come home, and 1t Is STATED
officially that this government has made
no suggestion that he return to thii
country.
The military situation was Of quite as
much interest in the days developments
as was the diplomatic Admiral Remey
reported, bringing the story of the Pekin
operations up to the 10th in Pekin and
confirming the press report already
printed Of the death of Captain Reilly
in the final assault on the outer walls OF
Pekin.
Almost important as the Pekin news
was the statement that the Boxers are
again concentrating around Tientsin.
and that last Sunday morning the Sixth
cavalry with about 400 English and
Japanese troops had lively brush with
the Boxers eight miles outside of Tien-
tsin. where about 100 Of the Chinese
were killed and five Americans wounded.
The casualty list in this fight seems to
indicate a sudden and total rout.
The most important dispatch Of the
day was not made public by the war de-
partment, but was the subject of a con-
ference at the White House between the
president, Secretary Root and Acting
Secretary Of State Adee. 1t was from
General Chaffee. 1t was dated the 18th
and dealt entirely with military opera
tions and conditions. While 1t cannot
be said to have contained any bad news
and recorded the brilliant successes oil
the American troops who have borne
themselves so gallantly in the assault
| on Pekn, 1t contained enough as to the
unsettled conditions in China and the
prospect of long and arduous work in
restoring peace to form the subject for 8
| consultation of some hours between the
president and his advisers.
