GOVERNOR ATKINSON
Expresses Deep Sympathy With Ob- jects of the Industrial Association

Huntsville, March 15-(Special) )-Secre- fary R. F. Thompson has received a letter from Governor e. w. Atkinson of West Virginia, expressing deep sympathy with the objects of the Southern Industrial con- vention, which will meet in Chattanooga May s. Governor Atkinson was an attend ant upon the first session of the conven- tio in this city, and contributed a great deal toward it's success. In his letter to MT. Thompson he says:
 'Tt is needless for me to say to you that I am in deep sympathy with the movement in which you are the active head. There has long been needed unification of pub die sentiment in the south in reference to dts industrial development The south hay ing all the raw materials ought to be the manufacturing center of our great country q am glad to know that many of our southern people have awakened to a sense of their responsibility in this matter, and that they are now doing everything in their the raw materials exist. I shall do all in my power to aid you in pressing this idea upon our southern people, and l am sure that our intelligent, energetic West Vir- ginia people will back us enthusiastically"
 MT. Thompson has aroused interest among several northern cities in the ob- jects of the convention, and many of them will have regular delegates in attendance Philadelphia and Baltimore have already appointed large delegations.
 The Southern Tariff association has granted rates of one and one-third fare to those who attend the Chattanooga meet ing.

of life. It is quite easy to understand why Indians get the worst of it whenever they encounter the federal troops. The latter are armed with the best modern fire arms. while the favorite weapon of the former is still the machete, w1th which they do not get near enough to the federal troops to make use of. It Is weal known that many Mayas have deserted the villages in the neighborhood of Santa Cruz and fled to the mountains. It is this portion of the Indians which have stood out against the proposi- ton of peace.
 Some Indian chiefs now in rebellion claim that they are willing to submit, but only to the fedefal government, and they do not wish to have anything to do with state offl- cials or acknowledge its authority in any way. And yet this very act of desertion Gs in itself one of the strongest factors in favor of the early submission of the In- dlans, for it shows their inability to hold their own against the federal troops. It is probable that this campaign which is be- ing carried on slowly, dispassionately and releDtlessly, will be brought to a close with complete subjugation of the Indians before the end of lthe present year.

Merida, Yucatan, March 15.-Many exag- gerated accounts of battles with the rebel Indians have been teiegraphed abroad.

KANSAS CITY SOUTHERN.
Rumors That the Road May be Abb
sOrbed by the Chicago and Alton.

Concerning the Kansas City South
ern, the Kansas City Times of Sun
day contains the following:
"In the struggle between the
Hartman interests and John w.
Gates for control of the Kansas
City Southern railroad, Mr., Gates
seems to have lost and Mr., Harri-
man is on top. This means that the
road will be operated as a second
fiddle to the Atlantic seaboard lines
instead of as an independent COM
petitor for export freights.
"At a meeting of the board of
directors of the Kansas City South
ern-the re.organized Kansas City,
Pittsburg and Gulf-in New York,
E. H. Hartman was elected chair
man. Max Pamwas chosen to take
the place of John W. Gates item
porarlly' on the executive Cou-
mittee, during the absence of the
latter in Europe. Whether Mr..
Gates would retire from the COM
pany altogether when he returns
from abroad those present at the
meeting declined to say. In regard
to the future affiliations of the
Kansas City Southern, it was said in
Wall street that the Chicago and
Alton would either absorb the
Southern or would have large in
terest in its management. 1t is
likewise expected that the Kansas
City Southern will be operated for
the joint benefit of the Missouri
Pacific, Illinois Central and Union
