v. c. v. WILL CONDEMN GOV
LONGING
For Insulting Old Confederates and
Disrespecting Petition.

Jackson, Miss, April 19.-lt is
learned from an authentic source that
at the meeting OF the State division
OF United Confederate Veterans to be
held in Meridian commencing on the
7th Of May a resolution will be offered
severely condemning Governor Lon.
gino for the language used when the
petition Of the Daughters of the Con.
federacy asking that the State house
corner stone ceremony be placed on
the 3rd Of June was presented for his
approval.
1t is well known and generally re.
cOgnized that the incident will be
brought up for discussion and some
rather salty remarks on the subject
are expected. There have been sev-
eral versions of the language used by
the Governor 10 circulation, but the
exact words uttered, according to
Capt. McInnis, chairman OF the rail.
road commission, who presented the
petition and asked the Governor to
read it, were as follows:
II don't want to see it. We can't
allow the business OF the State to suf-
fer 10 this way, and I'm getting tired
of all this rot, anyway"
The Governor does not deny that he
used this language, and thus far has
given out no reply, which is doubtless
a wise move, as it could serve no good
purpose in quelling the storm of in.
dignation that has been aroused by
his th0ughtless utterance.

be more certain than that large mum.

these things Mississippi farmers are
raising every dollar possible TO put

THE BOER CAUSE
Is HOPELESS
A Sensational Story That the Pow
ers Would Intervene is Branded
as Absurd,
TOO LATE FOR ARBITRATION
The Hague Arbitration Board However
Held Session to Consider Petition
of the Beers to End the War One
Way or the Other.

Berlin. June 10.-The Kleines Journa
today prints a dispatch from Tht
Hague saying that Queen Wilhemina'
recent visit here was meant to OBTAIN
: Emperor Williams consent to end the
South African war, both Zweibund ant
the Dreibund being willing to do so
through The Hague arbitration court
The emperor consented and the cour
began work thereon. The dispatch has
created a sensation here.
The Associated Press just obtained
the following foreign office statemen'
which is authorized by Count Won Bue-
low, imperial chancellor Neither
Great Britain, France nor Russia ever
approached Germany to participate in
any action aiming at ending the South
African war. Germany has all along
distinguished between offering her
good offices and intervention. To rem
der her good offices would be possible
if both parties to the war requested it;
but it will be remembered that Great
Britain only Joined The Hague confer
ence on the condition that the Boer
states were excluded. There is no
doubt that Mr.. Kruger, who is a SER
ious statesman, came to Europe to OBJ
tain the good offices of several powers
to end the war: but there is also no
doubt that Great Britain does not want
their good offices. At least, it is true,
that since the South African war be-
gan Great Britain has never, either
verbally or in writing, confidentially or
officially, broached such an idea. 1t is
quite possible that the Boer side has
now formally asked The Hague arbi-
tration court to lend it's aid to end the
war somehow and the court held a ses-
sion regarding the matter; but that,
of course, is entirely different from any
serious steps to end the war"

HAGUE.

and DR.. Leyds arrived here today and
