of Officers Killed by MObs.


Montgomery, Ala, June 25.-Again this
morning in the Constitutional Convention
the section relating to providing for the
family of sheriff or his deputy who is
killed while protecting a prisoner from
mobs was debated EN- Gov Jones open
ed the discussion with an appeal to the
convention to reconsider the vote by
which the Burns section, providing for
this provision was lost. He contended
that it was the moral duty of the state
to care for those dependent on man
who dies for the state.
Mr.. Heflin of Chambers opposed recon-
sideration. He would not have the state
put a premium on the discharge of official
duty. He said he knew of no one ever
being coerced into running for sheriff.
Mr.. Sollie of Dale opposed reconsider
alton. His strongest contention was that
If the constitution provided for provision
for sheriffs' families they should also pro-
vide for policemen.
Ex-Gov. Jones closed the debate for re-
consideration
Are we here, said MIR. Jones. 'to sane
ton the idea that a man is not to be
rewarded for doing his duty? That is
contrary to the practice of civilization.
Let us let the news go out that a Jail is
a sanctuary and to attack 1t means
death"
Reconsideration was carried, 50 to So
The fight was renewed at the afternoon
session and resulted in the who,e section
being killed by a vote of 63 to 60.

London, June 26.-The casualty lists
made public by the war Office continue to
show rather severe fighting in various
parts of South Africa that are not re-
ported in the ordinary dispatches. This
is noticeably so with regard to the Zee
rust position in Cape Colony. 1t also
inspires disquietude which is added to by
the repeated looting of jamestown, in
spite of the proximity of a strong British
force at Aliwal North.
1t appears that including the Boer pris-

Western Merchants 10 Attack the
Dig Railroad Combines.

Big Railroad Combines.
Chicago. June 25.-The Tribune to-mor-
row will say:
Prominent Western merchants, all
heavy shippers of merchandise, are pre-
pairing to call to account before the In
terstate Commerce Commission the heads
of the various railroad combinations and
the community of interests" alliances Of
the trunk lines of the country.
Charges are made that following these
movements of consolidation freight rates
have been advanced from 30 to so per
cent through quiet and organized manip-
ulation of the various classihcations of
commodities. Merchandise formerly in
c.ass four has been placed under class
two with consequent increase of 80
per cent. in shipment charges, and so on
throughout the voluminous tabulated
classihcations on all commodities
Behind the movement to attack this
scheme of freight advances by applying
to the Interstate Commerce Commission
for relief lies in the plan for a still more
vigorous blow. The complainants intend
to press demand that Congress shall
take a hand in forcing the formation of a
uniform classification of freight which
shall be effective on every railroad in the
United States.
