Elk Gov. McLaurin, in a letter to
Secretary Conner, which was intended
to be an open one, defends the lawless
action of the Democratic State Execu-
tive Committee, aud among other
things, while trying to prove that the
Committee had a right to perpetuate
itself in office, says: 1T is the custom
of the party to retain the committee
from one State election year until
another State election year" The
Clarion Ledger shows by the unbroken
record ever since 1876, that the Com
mittee had no such authority or pre-
cedent, and that Anse's statement is
the rankest sort of political fiction.

Senator Sullivan is playing indie
pendent or "bolter" and will run for
delegate to the National Democratic
Convention, Notwithstanding he was
not nominated by the Democratic
State Convention June 9TH. The Con
vention very properly took the view
that Mr.. Sullivan is not Democrat,
as Democracy is understood in Missis-
sippi, and is too much tainted with
McKinleyism and Hannaism to fairly
represent the party at Kansas City.

The State department at Washington
has issued warning to the public to
beware of all advertised schemes which
hold out inducements to American
heirs to estates in England, and to
fortunes awaiting heirs in the bank of
England, and emphatically declares
them all to be fraudulent. There are
no great estates in England unclaimed,
and there are no large deposits in the
Bank of England awaiting claimants.

Ex-Gov. McLaurin has written a
letter to Secretary Conner, of the
State Executive Committee, request
ing him not TO place his name on the
primary election ticket for delegate to
the National Democratic Convention,
assigning conflicting engagements as
the reason for his inability to accept
the honor. As the Governor had
stated before the late State Conven-
tion was held that he could not serve
as delegate, his present action can
not be rightly construed as a snub to
those who nominated him TO be one of
the four delegates from the State at
large.

CONFEDERATE VETERANS RE
UNION.

It j. no e1-y thing to write upa hig
thing, aud cur limited ability forbids
III saying things to correspond with
the city of Louisville and the grand
re union of the Confederate Veterans
When We decided on going to Louis
Vile, we were aware that we would
need some sort of badge TO pin on
the lapel of our coat that people might
be able to distinguish us from other
folks, hence we got Editor Hobbs to
print Us something on some blue rib
bon showing what regiment, etc, we
belonged to in the Confederate army.
But on our arrival at Brookhaven,
Comrade Daughtry kindly informed
us that we would need another badge
showing what camp we hailed from,
hence he took from his pocket his own
beautiful badge and pinned it thereto
on our coat and then we felt little
more war-lil1e than we had in long
time.
In company with Comrades Maxwell,
Martin. May, Smith, Summers, Jones
Bee. HoskiEs and Mccormick,
we boarded the train for Louis
Vile. While on our way to
Louisville our squad voted a resolution
of thanks to the military company of
Brookhaven for firing several volleys,
salutiug us on our departure. The
boys were donned in their blue suits
and we felt whole lot more patriotic
when we saw that the guns were point
ing straight up into the air during the
shooting, though they were blank car
tridges to the contrary notwithstand-
ing. When we we're we'll on our way,
one verse of a war song came to our
mind that We hadn't thought of in

The governor met with the COMMITTEES
Mt noon. He expressed himself as un.
willing to have anything to do what.
ever with the distribution of the relief
funds. He will apportion the funds
among the various committees, but
must entrust the distribution to the To-
cal committees.
The railroads are finding 1t exceed
ingly difficult to procure sufficient In
Dor. This morning the Santa Fe track
gang had but three men, whereas over
100 were needed. The railroad people
say that since martial law was raised
the men they liavc had rushed back Ia
town and nrc remaining idle while
their women folks get supplies FROM
the relief stations, while others have
gone to the public work, which they
find easier than the railroad work.
Manager Hill OF the Galveston,
Houston 4 Henderson railroad, ap
peared before the relief committee to.
day in behalf of NIL the railroads and
stated the conditions. requesting the
committee to cut or all rations to able.
bodied men, rs there ls plenty OF work
for them to do ut good wages. The re-
lief committee replied that they were
doing their utmost and that the output
was daily growing less.
Arrangements were made this after.
noon for the nmalgamation Of all the
relief work. The united association is
to be known us the Red Cross society

The next day Father Philips went
to Philadelphia to see Archbishop Ryan
and returned to say that he had .lOet
his head" Mt Jeddo. and to reverse his
position. He is now the most infiuen-
tial ally OF the strikers In their attempt
to drive from the JedI0 eollieries tho,i-
sands of men willing TO work. This
change of front could not have been
made at n more opportune moment
from the view point OF the strikers. The
organizers have been hard at work per-
suading and frightening miners who
kept at work.

terms Identical with those of the Unit

The British premier's decision to re-

to the German ambassador here, Count
Won Hatzfeldt-W -Wildenberg, during the
course of long Interview this after

known here and the exclusive informa-
Ion of the Associated Press probably
will not be officially given out in Eng

be tomorrow or later.
Only through the Associated Press
advices from New York, published in

public learn that the United States and
