The twenty-eighth triennial conclave
of Knights Templar of the United
States will take place in the city OF
Louisville August ~ to 80. 1t promises
to eclipse all former occasions. There
are upwards of 1000 Communicates,
and 10000 Templars in the United
States, and a very large per cent of
these will be represented in the grand
parade. Mississippi Communicates and
individual knights who expect to at
tend should lose no time in making ar
rangements for the trip. The grand
commandery committee, of which Sir
L. N. Thomas of Greenyille is chair
man, has leased a handsome and spa
cious residence for headquarters, where
good board and lodging can be had for
the moderate sum of two dollars per
day. As soon as sixty-two are register
ed, other arrangements will have to be
made for those who apply later. We
hope to see fully 500 Mississippi Tenn
plars under Grand Commander Howard
at Louisville.

WASTED ELOQUENCE
Judge Baker Talks a "Juryman" Out
 of Court.

A funny incident, and about the only one that happened in the very serious trial of Alexander at Yuma for mur- der last Monday, Judge Baker, the prisoners attorney. found himself at the foot of the greatest uphill job he had ever undertaken. The defendant was almost without friend in the court room or in the county. The re- atives of his victim were clamorous for his blood. half the population from Yuma were joining in the clamor. The court room was thronged day after day by a crowd impatient of murd- erers. The recent conviction of Hart had only whetted the popular appetite for other victims. It was a reign of terror for all defendants charged with homicide.
 Judge Baker made a powerful but hopeless plea for his unfortunate client. He was pleased to observe that it was slowly making a gradual i'm pression. The stern visages of the jurymen relaxed slightly. There was one. though. whose countenance became harder and harder. He was an end man in the box. Now and then he cast a savage glance at the defen- dant and defiant one at the attorney Judge Baker addressed himself par ticularly to this forbidding person. He pleaded for thrcequarters of an hour, and at the end of that time his face was more truculent than ever, The lawyer renewed his appeal and ga the midst cf 1t the juryman. evil dently wearied by Judge Bakers per sonal attention, got up and went out.

 This important discovery was made by Captain Yule of the British steam ship Myrtledene. which arrived here today from Carrizal, laden with 1,249 tons of silver ore in sacks and 400 tons of manganese ore. Captain Yule stated that the discovery of the obstsuction was first made about two years ago by a sailing ship, and both the govern ments of Great Britain and the United States charted it as a partially sub merged rock.
 When off Cape Thoms the weather was beautifully clear, and this afforded the observing skipper the opportunity of making a thorough investigation of the obstruction. It is a large wooden vessel. Captain Yule says the obstruc- ton is very dangerous one at night and efforts should at once be made to have it removed.

ADMIRAL sCHLEY IN COLLISION.
Damaged By Collier Off Boston Light and Forced to Put Back.

Boston April 12.-The United Fruit rompany's steamship, Admiral Schley, which sailed from here this forenoon, was in collision with the collier Charles F. Mayer of Baltimore ten miles east of Boston Light early this afternoon. The Admiral Schley was proceeding at about half speed during thick fog, when the Mayer was sighted but two lengths away. The Mayer had two loaded barges in tow. and members of the crew of the Schley say she was lying at right angles to the barges
 A collision was unavoidable. The bow of the Mayer struck the Schley just aft of the pilot house on the star board side and raked her clear aft. smashing the railing and after davits. The Schley's pumps were immediately sounded, and finding that she was talk ing in water fast, Captain Human headed back to the dock. A diver was sent down, and he found that at least sour plates below the water line were Broken. The Mayors bow was badly tGisted, and she was leaking when she reached the upper harbor.
