J.. Thompson. the Havana postmaster:
". II. Reeves. deputy officer Of the
island. and Edward Moyn and Jorge
Mascara, Cuban clerks In the stamp de-
partmcnt. and all Were lodged In the
Toombs OF Ilarana. This was done
under the advice OF the postal !nspcc-
tors who arrived to-day. II Is consid.
cred now that Reeves Is equally guilty
with Nicely.
The arrcs; OF Thompson caused great
surprise In the city. II is looked upon
Ms the precursor OF many other arrests.
General Wood felt. as did the special
inspectors. that II would he better TO
have the suspected persons arrested.
and TO give the men opportunity 70 OBJ
tain bail than to keep them Indefinitely
under close supervision nj time when
the detectives are badly needed for 9th.
er work.
Postmaster Thompson has signed
sworn statement In which he says that
September 10Th last. being In need OF
money. he took from the money order
funds SI3J. giving his memorandum MS
receipt FOR the same. When the In
spcctions were held Mr.. Thompson or
dcrcd clerk In charge OF the money
order department to place rcmittnnccs
received that day. which would not
have to be accounted for until the fol-
lowing day. sufficient TO cover the
amount of his receipt. which was then
withdrawn until after the inspection.
This was kept up until April Ith. when
the special agents unexpectedly discov-
cred the receipt. which Mr.. Thompson
then paid. He also admits that Charles
T.. Nccly. late financial agent OF posts.
Mt Havana. indorscd a bill for $3.50
which Thompson had discounted by
the North American Trust Company.
Thompson admits other Irregularities.
The local papers praise General Wood
for the indefaticable manner In which
he has handled the Investigation. La
Lucha referring TO his methods as
most praiscworthy."
Early developments In connection
with the frauds. 1t IL asserted. tend to
show the far-rcaching influences OF
Nccly. and every man who IL placed
under arrest brings to light additional
facts. Each one seems willing to tell
all he knows regarding Nccly. while
endcavoring to cxoneratc himself.

OUR LEGISLATURE.

The work of the Mississippi
Legislature of 1900 Is ended
Their many acts have passed into
history, and the pages on which
they will be written will be among
lle brightest for future genera
tions to gaze upon. No session
since '76 can compare with it in
work and good DEEDS. All
was done with an eye to the states S
honor and advancement and to the
credit of the honored body, few
mistakes were made. The build
ing of a new capitol, the purchase
CT convict farms, the establish
ment of textile school, the liberal
appropriation made for education,
the maintaining of our chari-
table institutions, the increase
in pensions for Confederate sol
diers, the encouragement and wei
coming of industries and the law
looking to the improvement of
our public roads will all in time
by the proper support bear rich
fruits. The IS, 900, 10000 ap-
propriated to sustain or carry on
this work will prove the best pay
ing investment the state ever
made. 1t will draw people and
capital here from abroad, build
Few homes. churches and school
houses, improve our methods of
farming, open up new lands, build
railroads and factories, pay taxes,
give to charity and reunite and
make happy again a people who
have been separated by political
auarrels and leaders, that all may
come together and work for the
states greatness and honor, AS
long US our states wealth comes
from the product of our soil watch

path of the 10th century gather

The Beers have offered and Lord

The Beers have offered and Lord
Salisbury has declined their ac-
ceptance of peace on terms de-
manded, which, by the way, were
according to the Chamberlain ulti-
matum. This means fight to
the end unless the powers inter
fere or the Boer nation gives up
their liberty and independence.
The noble fight they have made
against the greatest empire on
earth has won the admiration of
brave men and women through
out the land. AS matter of fact
it was only a question of time
how long they could endure, for
it was a struggle against num-
bers-and while a Boer bullet
reached its mark each fire, this
mark was wiped out with another
live target. AS result the end
is in sight and as in all games the
oser pays and Briton the con-
luerer, will demand all-which
means annexation and British rnle.
At first, it no doubt will. pierce
he heart of Boer, as the cut of

wound and change the feeling to-
wards their conquerors. Under

hey have made against such a
owerful nation will be told to their
hlldren by loving mothers and !

Improvement of The Passes.

Readers of the Times-Democrat
Will peluse with much interest
the address made recently by Mr..
Stuyesant Fish before the rivers
and harbors committee of the
National House of Representa-
tivcs. Mr.. Fish shows concIu-
sively in his address that the loss
of commerce to New Orleans was
not due to natural, but to abnor-
NAL causes. The natural advan-
tages of this port i. G., its geo
graphical position, its railroad
facilities and the cheapness of its
real estate, have indeed prevented
Its utter extinction as a great port,
but have not pressed it forward in
the march of progress as they
should. These three natural ad-
vantages of New Orleans are ex-
planned by Mr.. Fish in detail, he
giving figures to show thai
the Mississippi Valley is the
centre of the production of cereal
crops In the country, and he ask
pertinently, why should not these
crops go 10 degrees down grade |
to the South, instead of Is degrees
over mountain ridges to the East
He shows that the cheapest of real
estate in New Orleans In compari
son with other great ports IS re-
markably low, and says this cheap
ness is entitled to much more
consideration than 1t has hitherto
received.
In respect to railroad mileage.
Mr.. Fish demonstrates that no
other port in the United states is
served by railroads, under single
so far and in such {
'aried directions, as is New Or
cans.
Mr.. Fish goes on to show, quot
ng a steamship expert, that in
$40 the maxium draft of ocean S
'oing vessels was % feet, while it
ad now reached 81 feet, and In
he near future would probably n
equire channels of over 40 feet. =
ie shows that provisions for this u
epth have been made for New q
ork, and demonstrates that the
lississlppl river is the outlet for
yer half the states of the Union
nd nearly half the population,
nd very large percentage of It's
products, and concludes
ith this pertinent proposition:
The question which we pre-
mt to you to-day is whether the
tlzens of the great central basin
these United States are, or are
't, to be now given the means OF
citing their product carried to
a, at the least possible cost TO
EN-, in ships which can com pete
Ith those sailing from other
'rts?"
1t is to be hoped that Congress
Ill give to the arguments and ha
'ures OF Mr.. Fish the considera- ye
N they deserve. The opening ed
Southwestern Pass with a depth po
30 or 40 feet will be of benefit is
t only to New Orleans alone,
t to the whole valley of the IN
ssissippi, represented by forty M SUI
