MISSISSIPPI &, lERNOR'S WAY

and Adopts Plan Which Causes

Jackson, Miss, Aug. Ex-Governor
Longino has issued a statement of the
condition Of the state treasury, show
ing that on August Is, he found short
age Of $107,621. The governor then
states: I'm the hope that the shortage
would be replaced if opportunity and
time were given before the result of
the count was made public. l. there
fore, enjoined secrecy upon those pres
ent and agreed with Treasurer Showers
that | would make another count of
the money August 90. On the date fix
ed | made said count. 1t was then
found that the cash and drafts on hand
balanced with the books, which called
for 1905, 914."
The governor closes his statement by
saying: THE examination of the funds
in the treasury was made as required
of me by the state laws, and, in my
opinion, the books of the treasury show
a correct statement of the amounts
when should have been in the treasury
on the said 18th and Goth days of Aug
ust, and before doing or saying any
thing further in the premises | deem
it Just to Showers that he be given

HAS EYE ON ISTHMUS TANGLE.
Government Merely Sends Warship
to Protect French Inter
ests in Colombia.

Paris, Aug 2G.-The French press
has not been giving much attention
editorially to the Venezuela-C Columbian
question: but what comment has been
made has. on the whole, been adverse
to the United States, which is ac-
cused of exaggerating the facts in
order to have an excuse to intervene
and seize the lsthmus of Panama and
the canal.
The correspondent of the Associated
Press learned today from a well-in-
formed source, that the French gov
eminent has not yet considered the
contingencies which may arise if the
united States interYenes. nor has any
exchange of views with the European
chancellors on the subject taken
place or even suggested. So far as
France is concerned. she does not con
template any step beyond that al
ready taken. of sending a warship to
protect the lives and property of the
Frenchmen on the lsthmus.
The government had not received
any news from it's representative in
Central America concerning the troub-
les there until day or two ago. AS
these came by mail, they relate to
events three weeks old, and fail to
give a clear idea OF what is taking
place. but it is certain that there was
nothing calculated to cause alarm for
the safety of French interests.

GOULD CONTROLS THE ROAD.
Norfolk & Western Railway to be
Used as Club in Forcing At
lantic Outlet.

Philadelphia, Aug. 24.-The North
American says:
THE control of the Norfolk & West
ern railroad has passed out of the
hands of the Pennsylvania railroad,
and is in the grasp of the Gould inter
ests. This will probably occasion great
er surprise in financial and railroad
circles than any similar announcement
made this year The control of the
Norfolk & Western will be used by
Gould to further the interests of his
railroad system. If the Pennsylvania
railroad will withdraw opposition to
the Wabash in Pittsburg and agrees
not to thwart Gould in his effort to get
an Atlantic seaboard outlet, his recent
ly acquired interest in the Norfolk &
Western will be surrendered at price
which is fair. This is the latest of a
series of strategic moves by the Gould
group to end the forcing of the Eastern
outlet.
1T is believed, however that Presi-
dent Cassatt of the Pennsylvania rail-
road will decline to make any COM
promise with the Gould party"
