Chairman Miller Asked to Reconvene tn

Chairman Miller Asked TO Reconvene the
State Democratic Executive Committee
The following timely and wellcon-
sidered letter of Gov. Longino to Chair
man Miller is being cordially com
mended by the public press. 1t is
hoped that the chairman will see the
way clear to call the committee to-
gether again, that the action taken
may be reconsidered and State con-
vention called for the purpose Of select
ing delegates to the National conven-
ton. This has been the usage, and it
will be more satisfactory to observe it
until such time as the people. in con,
vention, shall adopt some other mode
Of selecting delegates;
JACKSON, Miss, May IS, 1900,
Hon c. c. Miller, Meridian, Miss;
Dear Sir--Therc seems to be little
doubt that the action OF the Democratic
State executive committee in ordering
primary election fo7 presidential cleo
tors and delegates to the national con-
vention doesn't meet with either party
or popular favor. | do not remember
to have ever known such an unqualified
or unanimous expression of the press OF
the State in opposition to the course
ordered by the committee. In fact the
hostility manifested thereto seems to
threaten reputation of the commit
tees authority. fear the matter will
get up so much dissatisfaction and dis
pleasure as to break party organization
in the State, and bring such dissension
and opposition as will be seen and felt
for long time. Su3h a split in the
party can and should be averted, if
possible, and think it lies within your
power to do so by recalling your COM
mittee together at the earliest practical
date. | am sure you have no purpose
or desire to do other than fairly repre-
sent the party's interest and success as
the chairman of its executive commit
tee, and trust you will not hesitate to
call the committee together for recon
sideration Of its former action. From
the signs of the times it now looks that
something must be done by the com
mittee to reconcile the press and peo
pie, or two sets of delegates will go tc
the national convention, and thus will
be laid the predicate for an ugly breach
in the party ranks that will live tc
harass us in the State for long time tc
come. You will doubtless agree that
the committee are but the agents Of the
Democratic party, and should not per
sist in going counter to that party's
wishes or interests. 1t seems to me
therefore, to be but reasonable and
Just that it should rescind its former
action, if objected to by the people OF
the State. By SO doing, opposition
would cease, confidence in the gooC
faith of the committee would be re
stored and party unity continued
l trust the suggestions herein will moi
be regarded as meddlesome, or an at
tempt on my part to interfere in any
way with your duty or prerogative, but
will be accepted simply as a suggestion
looking to party harmony and the pub
lie good. Sincerely yours,
A. II. LONGING.

persons to family, Mississippi ranks
dfth-Texas, Virginia, West Virginia
and Utah having larger percentages, in
the order namod.
Only three States-South and North
Carolina and Oklahoma--that have a
smaller foreign population.
She was fifth in per cent of litter
ates; but will make better showing
in the census of 1900. She was twelfth
in the percentage of native white illit-
crates, and seventh in the percentage
of colored misunderstanding a better
showing than New Mexico, louisiana
Alabama, Georgia and South and North
Carolina. In listing illiterates all I'M
| der ten years are not considered.
In the percentage of total population
enrolled in public schools Mississippi
ranks third-kansas and Tennessee
being small fractions ahead. The dia-
gram indicates about % per cent. Mas
sachusetts can claim only 9per cent.
In the matter OF per capita expendi-
ture for public schools Mississippi is
ninth from the bottom, and Massachu-
sets fourth from the top, In Missis-
sippi less than half the population pay
the taxes.

London, May 29.--ln the house OF
lords yesterday Lord Strathcona and
Mount Royal moved the second read
ing of the colonial bill, permitting the
marriage of man and his deceased
wife's sister.
Earl Halsbury opposed the bill
which, he said, would alter the law OF
inheritance on real property in Great
Britain. The difficulty, he pointed out
rested in the fact that colonial law
was different from the British law.
The bill passed its second reading
amid cheers, by vote of 116 to 81
The minority against the marriage
bill included the marquis of Salisbury
and the duke of Abercorn.
The majority included the prince OF
Wales, the duke of Connaught, the

and the marquis Of Landsdowne.

THE PRESIDENT SAW 1T.
The Eclipse Seen In n CIoudIcSs sky
at Fort Monroe.

Fort Monroe, Va, May 29,-Thc sun
was totally eclipsed at 1913 a. III. in
a cloudless sky. Thousands of people
crowded the piers, verandas and ram
parts TO watch the marvellous pho
nomenon, and at the moment the sun
was suddenly snuffed out an involun-
tary cheer arose, and every vessel in
the roads whistled an accompani-
ment, The period of totality was
about thirty seconds, during which
time a tiny star hung just below the
magnificent corona, which glowed
around the inky disc. Twilight set
tied on land and water, and the skies
took on wonderful after-sunset tints,
Then, as though by magic, a star of
fire blazed out on the southern boun-
Diary of the disc, and the eclipse was
over. The president and partywatched
the phenomenon from the Dolphin,
near Lambert's point, and Secretary
Gage and party from the lighthouse
tender Holly. The Dolphin came over
from Norfolk at 9:j5, and after a sa-
lutte from the Kearsarge, passed on
up the bay for Washington.

A COMPLETE SUCCESS.

vations here were a complete success.
Prof. Charles Burkhalter, observer in
charge, gives the following statement
regarding his work;
THE sky was clear at this point,
and the full programme of the eleven
exposures were carried out. The CO.
roma appeared strikingly like that of
the eclipse in India in 1898. The Cha
bot expedition has the only apparatus
in the world that will give short ex-
posures on the faint part at the same
time on the same plate. The pictures
taken vary from two to twelve hun
dredths OF second at the moon $
limb, and four to eight seconds at the
outer limit, two plates giving four to
eight-hundredths inside and four and
eight seconds outside exposures, with
intermediate exposures for intermedi-

card suspended from her neck contided
little maud" to the tender care of the
conductors and agents of the Southern
Express, who accepted the responsible
ity Of seeing her safely to the end Of
her journey. But when the passengers
on that Pullman caught on to the status
of the little traveller, who was sobbing
because of separation from her tempo
rary home in jackson, they were all
ready to do for her as if she was their
best beloved. Railroad Commissioner
John McInnis placed her tenderly on
the seat beside him, and his kind heart
WINS oppressed IN moistened eyes.
The Noel Amendment Case.
In the quo warranto proceeding
against Judge Robert Powell to test
the constitutionality of the Noel amend
ment to the constitution making the
judiciary elective instead of appointive,
the contention of the State is, that the
amendment is constitutional and valid.
Attorney-General McClurg, Hon. E. +.
Noel, the author of the amendment and
Ex-Governor A. J. McLaurin represent
ed this side OF the case before the
supreme court.
The contention of Judge Powell is,
that the amendment is unconstitutional
and void, because
/. 1t was not proposed as required by
section 273 of the constitution; that
more than one amendment was EN-
bodied in the proposition, and not so
stated that the electors could vote
separately on each. That the PROPOSE
tion to elect the supreme judges was
one amendment; the change of their
tenure of office from nine to eight
years was another; the election of cir
cult judges was another; the chancel-
Tors another; and the provision requir-
ing the holding Of primary elections
by districts to nominate circuit judges
and chancellors was another.
2. That the proposed amendment, or
amendments did not receive a majority
of all votes voted in the election, but
only majority of those voting directly
for or against the amendment.
9. That the courts have the same
right and power to determine whether
the legislature acted in accordance with
the requirements of the constitution in
proposing the amendment as the court
has to pass upon the constitutionality
of law passed by the legislature.
Judge Powell is represented by Hon.
R. II. Thompson, ExAttorney- General
Frank Johnston and Ex-Chef Justice
j. A. P. Campbell,
In the argument before the supreme
court on Monday, Tuesday, Wednesday
and Thursday of last week, the counsel
for the State replied to the plea en-
bracing the above points by saying that
all of those questions are of a political
nature and under the exclusive juris-
diction of the legislative department of
the government, where they have all
been determined and settled, and that
the courts have no power to undo
what the Legislature has done in this
respect. That there was only one
amendment, as it embraced only one
subject, the election of judges, and
all is detail that the constitution re-
quires only majority of the votes cast
on the subject, and that the legislature
is the exclusive and final Judge of all
of these questions.

Many photographs were taken by all
the parties at intervals, and espe-
cialEof the corona. Several telescopes
were used in trying to discover more
satellites between the sun and the

Where Observation was Complete.
While the eclipse was visible all
over the country, it was only within
a path of about tifty-five miles in
width, extending from New Orleans
to Norfolk, that the observation was
complete, 1t will be readily seen
therefore, that difference of tiyc
miles in this belt made difference
of one-ffth in the matter of time in
which the observation might be wit
messed, and position near the central
line of totally increased in geomet,
trical proportion to the stupendous
grandeur of the phenomenon.

The Recently Discovered Planet
Eros Seen at Denver, Col.

Denver, Col, May 2o.-While Prof.
II. A. Howe was waiting, yesterday
morning at about two o'clock in the
Chamberlain observatory for the sun
rise and the eclipse to begin, he made
ore of the most important observa-
tons of the year, the discovery of the
planet Eros. This tiny planet, which
was discovered only two years ago
at the Berlin observatory, has been
looked for since last September, the
time when, according to calculations,
II should emerge from behind the sun.
