othet large cities. The entire enum-
Grafton of the large cities will be fin

that certain Indians there refuse to re-

him to let the matter drop, as an ef-
fort to compel the Indians to reply
would probably lead to serious diff.
culties.

MISSISSIPPI DELEGATES
Republicans Name Men For the Ma
 tional Convention

Jackson, Miss, April 26.-M A. Montgom- cry, H. c. Hurley, John R. Lynch and James Hill were named by the state repub- lican convention, which adjourned at 9:3o o'clock tonight as delegates from the state- at-large to the national convention at Phil- adelphia. The final session, lasting nearly five hours, was a turbulent one.
 The Montgomery faction, otherwise known as the New White leadership crowd, captured the convention on organization by electing L.. K. Atwood as chairman, the various committees sumbitted by the cau- GUS of party leaders held during the morns ing were then adopted amid much confu- sion and the protests of several negro leaders, especially those of the Old Hill faction. Three of the four men chosen as delegates-at-large belong to the white lead- ership faction. The district delegates from five of the districts are: W. F. Elgin, J. s. Shannon, G. M. Buchanan, J. s. Burton, Sam Hurst Wesley Crayton, w. E. Mask, w E. Frazee and R. A. Simmons, eight of the ten being Montgomery men. It has al- ready been agreed upon to select H. c. Hurley of Natchez as national committee man for Mississippi.

WHEELER WILL BE A CANDIDATE His Case to Be Submitted to
 the People, FEARED 4 FIGHT IN CONGRESS- Personal Friend is Authority For the Statement-The General Will Like
 Iy Have No Opposition if He Comes Out.
FEARED 4 FIGHT IN CONGRESS-

New Decatur, April 26.-(Special.)-A per- sonal friends of General Wheeler is aus thority for the statement that the general will be a candidate to succeed himself as congressman from the Eighth congression- al district for the unexpired term and also for the new term, which begins Decem- Der 1, 1901.
 The same person is authority for the statement that General Wheeler's resigna- tion was due to the fact that he feared the fight that would be made on him in the house and rather than face defeat at the hands of his colleagues he preferred to re- sign his seat and to submit his case to the people of his district. E
 Special Election in November
 He stated further that he thought that Governor Johnston would not call a special election to name General Wheeler's sucr cessor until November and that at that time congressman would be elected to fill out the unexpired term. which term expires March 1901. In November con. gressman is also to be elected for the regs ular succeeding term. Y
 The indications are that In the event General Wheeler is candidate he will have no opposition, as there Is not man in the district who could defeat him. But on the other hand if he does not come out as a candidate there will be at least half a dozen candidates in the field and the fight will be a most interesting one.
 At present Hon. Samuel Blackwell of this city, who was third auditor of the United States treasury under Grover Cleveland's administration, and Judge William Richardson of Huntsville are the most prominent prospective candidates.

Little Rock, Ark, April 26-A southbound St. Louis. Iron Mountain and Southern passenger train was held up by a negro bandit near Higginson, fifty miles north of Little Rock, at 1 o'clock this morning. The negro had no visible confederates and confined himself to one passenger coach, compelling the panic-stricken passengers to hand over their valuables at the point of a pistol. The bandit escaped but the sheriff of White county started in pursuit at once and will probably overtake the fugitive.
