AN OPEN LETTER FROM SENATOR JONES
Charges of Davis and Clarke Refued to the Satisfaction of
Fair Minded P op'e.

The charges made against Senator
Jones so frequently during the present
campaign by Gov. Davis, have caused
the senator to issue the following open
letter:
To the Democracy of Arkansas -
From different parts of the state | am
in receipt of pamphlets which are be
ing circulated by Governor Davis, and
newspaper clippings which are W
aerstood to be inspired by him, max
ing charges and insinuatiOns against
me. The chief charges seem to be
that wronged nay ward. Miss Eaton,
out of So. 500, Mr.. Spence out OF a
board bill of five or six hundred dol-
lars. and that when he asked for
Ahe money | beat him fearfully, an!
that the cid man is now in abJeef
want in Arkadelphia: that | borrowed
four hundred dollars from Tom Stew
art, the savings Of a life time OF toll
and privation. and that when he ask
cd me to have this borrowed money
returned, | felled him to the earth
with a club, he carrying the sears 10
his grave. and that | caused the de-
feat of Gov. Davis antitrust bill.
These charges, one and all, arc from
.and to end tissue of falsehood ere
ated by INSCRIPTIONS men for selllsh
purposes. as a little attention to tAA
kacts in the case will show.
Ny ward, Miss Eaton, now Mrs,
Sam W. Smith. of Malvern. is living,
and Gov. Davis. before making his
charge as to my bad conduct to her
and her affairs. did not seem to think
that it might be we'll to ascertain from
her. or her husband. whether or not
there was any truth in this charg"
It would seem that very little COM
mon courtesy would have suggested
to him that her wishes and feelings
should have been ascertained before
she and her private affair were drag
ged into public discussion. But Gov.
Davis, in utter disregard Of
both the truth and the com
monest courtesy. reclllessly made
his assertion and announced that he
could prove it. Major Smith, the hus-
band. a gentleman of hte highest cha
acter. resented Gov. Davis charge,
and denounced his statement as false,
as we'll as low and mean.
The governor attempted to avoid til
force of this denunciation by procur,
ing and publishing an affidavit of W.
Fl. Cooper. which was intended to dis
credit Major Smiths statement. In
Malvern, where both men live and
have lived for years. and where the
reputation of each for truth and
veraci,y is we'll known. no
reply to this affidavit was nee
essary from Major Smith. But as
there are many people in Arkansas
who do not know both men. Major
Smith wrote and published reply to
the affidavit. which was complete
vindication of what he bad said. Y
is safe to say that Major Smiths word
is of much greater import in that
community than the affidavit OF the
other party. This charge is false, and
there is just as little truth
in the one relating to Mr..
Spence. He has been dead for
MANY years. and was my friend up to-
mis- death. He was never in want ami
was never wronged by me out of one
cent. Hon. A. G. Hearn has been well
and honorably knbwn for many years

ANOTHER BRIEF BY COUNSEL
PROTEST AGAINST THE CLAIM SET
UP IN sCHLEY's APPEAL.
Letter written by the Late President
Mckinley Which Commended
Rear Admiral

WASHINGTON, Feb. Alarming ru-
mors were afoat here to-day to the effect
that Admiral Sampson had taken a serious
turn for the worse within the last twenty
four hours. Inquiries at the house showed
that the rumors were based on a slight at
tack of indigestion. which caused no alarm
among those nearest the rear admiral, but
which had confined him to his room and
bed for several days. Moreover, it was
stated that Admiral SIMPSONS condition
was much improved to-day. and that he
appeared brighter than for some time past.
1t is expected he will be able to come down
stairs to his meals tomorrow, and IT is
said that as soon as the streets dry the
admiral will resume his daily walks, which
been interrupted by the attack of In
digestion and the bad state of the weather.
However, 1T may be stated that ADMIRAL
SIMPSONS general condition is such as TO
give some basis of fact to the ever-recur-
ring bad reports. Yet at present It is said
absolutely no forecast of the end Of the
fight his vitality is waging can be made.

TO ATTACK THE CITIES
REBELS MAY TRY TO CAPTURE PAN
ANA AND COLON.
Note from General Herrera TO For
eiGn Consuls Saying that Warm
ing VIII Be Given.

PANAMA, Colombia, Feb. 7-Col. Julien
del Castillo, an envoy from General Her
rera, the insurgent commander. arrived
here last night, escorted by police, and
left Panama at 10 o'clock. Governor Ar
Jona received an important note from Col.
Del Castillo, addressed to the American,
French, British and German consuls here.
In it General Herrera claimed, among
other things. that the government of Senior
Marroquin, the President Of Colombia, was
not lawful and that, therefore, the rebels.
although deploring the bloody results of
the war, would fight to the end for the
ultimate success of the Liberal principles.
General Herrera proposed that the consuls
addressed ask their respective governments
to declare the line of the Panama-Colom-
bia Railroad to be a neutral ground, with
which the government should not build in
t~renchments or the Liberals attack, and
that only a police force be left to guard the
line. General Herrera said he proposed, If
possible, to compel the government to at
tack the Liberal forces, and that the Lib
erals had a strong fleet and army, provided
with cannon, etc. General Herrera also
declared in his note that the Liberals con-
sioered the capture of Panama and Colon
to be absolutely necessary for the develop
ment of their military plans, that they
would act to obtain such results, and that
in due time they would notify consuls of
such proposed action, allowing twenty-four
hours for Foreigners to take refuge at a
place OF safety, TO be agreed upon with
the c%onsuls. and that the point so selected
would not be fired on.
Governor Arizona said at the conference
Of the ~cOnsuls, which he attended, that
he would not recognize, even indirectly,
the right of the rebels to make the pro-
posals they did; that the consuls could not
correspond with the Liberals; that even IL
they were belligerents the consuls would
have to have the permission OF the Colom-
bian government TO communicate with
them. General Arizona then demanded that
the consuls send their answers to General
Herrera 10 him, promising 10 forward them
TO the Liberal general by messenger. To
this the consuls agreed.
The wife Of a government soldier, who
was made a prisoner by the rebels last
month, and who managed to escape from
General Herrera's company, arrived at
Panama last night. She reports that the
Liberal forces, to the number OF 800 men,
are encamped from Penonome to Chame,
and that General Herrera and his staff are
at Chame. According to this woman Gen.
Herrera sent word to the government of
General Castro to surrender. The latter
answered that he had been sent out to
fight and was ready to do so.
The plans OF the revolutionists indicate
their intention to attack Panama, but they
are undoubtedly awaiting reinforcementst
The only fighting, so far, has been betweens
two exploring parties in the vicinity Of To-s
nosi, where the revolutionists landed.

SPEECH BY Won BUELow.
He Discusses the Tariff Bill and the
EMPEROR Wishes.

BERLIN, Feb. 7.-At a banquet tonight
of the German Council of Agriculture
Count Won Buelow, the imperial chancellor,
in a long speech, declared that he had es-
poused the cause OF agriculture not merely
from a feeling OF duty, but with his whole
heart. "A chancellor without sympathy
for agriculture would be a strange fellow"
said Count Won Buelow, land he would
soon trip up" He declared the alleged
differences between the Emperor and him
fiction, because, while endeavoring to ad-
also carried out the wishes and intentions
OF the Emperor, whose loving and wise
solicitude for agriculture could always be
counted upon" The Emperor completely
Endorsed the national economic policy, con-
tinued the speaker, which was aimed at
benefting to the utmost the agricultural
class without unfairly damaging the other
classes of the population.
The federal governments. he said, had
agreed on the corn duties. which they pro-
posed to mark at the highest possible limit,
without on the one hand, burdening the
rest Of the population. or, on the other
hand, interfering with the conclusion OF
commercial treaties. az they had to con-
which must reckon upon stable. uniform
and peaceful conditions. 1t was very
doubtful, continued the chancellor, whether
higher corn duties than the bill proposed
would benefit agriculture IN the long run,
for they might provoke reaction, under the
influence of which the legitimate protection
Of agriculture would also fall.

HOMER IN
Harvard student Is Doing the HAD
Into English Hexameter.
Boston Journal.

BOSTON journal.
Harvard has added another to her long
list of literary gifts to the world-this time
in the shape of a new translation OF
Homer's "IIiad" by Albert James Lonney,
a student in the Harvard Law School. The
translation is in English -examete and
the remarkable fact is that the feat was
long ago pronounced impossible by Pope
and Bryant, whose translations OF the
Had are found in almost every home in the
land to-day.
Lonney is an old Harvard man. He was
graduated from the crimson in 1897, and
since that time has been teaching in the
West. A thorough lover Of Greek. he spe-
cialized in that study when he was in col
lege, and after leaving Cambridge pursued
his studies with as much attention and de-
votion as his time allowed. From his
earliest lays it had been his ambition to
translate Homer. So two years ago when
he found a few weeks of vacation leisure
on his hands he started his attempt. For
two months he labored, but with discour-
aging success. In all that time he had
translated scarcely one hundred imperfect
lines. Tired and sore at heart, he gave up
the effort, only to renew his labor in a
moment of inspiration six months later.
and, fired with enthusiasm, finished the
first book in less than two weeks.
At the present time he has translated
four of the books of the "Iliad" and is pre-
pairing to finish the remaining twenty. At
the same time he is putting himself through
the law school. for he is entirely dependent
on his own resources and has TO hustle
for his board and clothes as well as TO
revel with the old Greek writer's.
Personally Lonney is a very interesting
man. He knows Plato. Socrates and Arts
totle by heart and converses about the
famous figures of antiquity as Familiarity
as other Harvard students talk about their
table friends. He studies Greek because
he likes it. When he wants a little recrea-
ton. he says, he sits down and memories
twenty or thirty lines of Greek. Ii was In
this way that he translated the books he
has. and in which he hopes TO finish the
gigantic task of the remaining twenty.
Many famous literary people have already
written to the young writer, subscribing to
the entire edition when he will have COM
pleted It, and Lonney has had letters from
students all over the world praising him
for the feat which he has accomplished.

Mr.. Schwab had half an hours audience
with King Edward at Marlborough House
this afternoon. Mr.. Schwab was accompa-
MED by Sir Thomas Upton, who introduced
him TO his Majesty. The King greeted his
American visitor in the most cordial man.
ner and chatted freely with him. mainly
on the friendship between the United
States and Great Britain. His Majesty es-
pecially referred to the close connection be-
tween the industries of the two countries,
and the friendship existing between the
workingmen Of both sides of the Atlantic.
To a representative of the Associated
Press Mr.. Schwab said: "Al l can say IS
that l had a most enjoyable interview and
came away with charming recollections of
King Edward"
1t was learned that the King displayed
keen interest in and knowledge of the in
dustrial conditions of the United States
and evtnced nothing but kindly sentiment
toWaId the progress Wnlcn american DUST
ness is making in Great Britain. The con-
versation, which was quite informal,
touched on a variety of topics, throughout
which his Majesty's cordiality toward
Americans and their institutions was strik-
ingly apparent.
Mr.. Schwab said his European trip had
been purely for pleasure. and as such had
been eminently successful. During his tour
of Europe Mr.. Schwab was received in
audience by three monarchs, and he every
where noticed a palpable desire to maintain
and ctrnnOfhnn tho friondlu roloffnnc with
America.
The Schwab party was entertained this
evening by Sir homas Upton at a farewell
dinner and afterwards went to the Empire
Theater.

COMPANY Is CENSURED
NEW YORK CENTRAL HELD TO BE
NEGLIGENT AND UNPROGREssIvE.
Decision of state Railway Commits
sIoners in Regard TO the
Tunnel Disaster.

ALBANY, n. Y, Feb. THE State
Board of Railroad Commissioner to-day
handed down it's decision regarding the re-
cent disaster in the New York Central Rail-
road tunnel in New York city. The de-
cision censures the company for allowing
inexperienced engineers to run a train
through the tunnel. and recommends that
at some time in the future the roof be
taken off the tunnel. using bridges at in
tersecting streets. However, in this con-
%nection. it says that such a change would
be intolerabIe unless electricity is substi-
tuted as the motive power for trains, and
recommends legislation to allow such
changes.
The commission finds that the company
has been negligent. dereIct and unpro-
gressive in failing TO take measures to in
crease it's criminal facilities" and that 1t
has also been negligent in failing to ex-
anime more closely into the qualifications
of new engineers" Recommendations for
the Improvement of the system of signals
are made, and the commission approves the
proposed underground loop for suburban
traffic. 1t declares that the number of
trains run through the tunnel Is necessary
because OF the demands of traffic and says
the time Is not many years distant when,
even with the contemplated Improvement
In operation, the increasing traffic of the
great city and Of this triple railroad termi-
nus Will require enlarged and better IA
cilities."
The commission points to the interesting
fact that In 1901 there were III, 400 trains
moved through the tunnel. an average Of
over 4S6 per day. Therefore. the commits
sion says, the Baltimore & Ohio tunnel at
Baltimore and the Liverpool tunnel under
the River Mersey bear no comparison to
traffic.

Cost of German Colonies.

BERLIN, Feb. Herr Richter, the Radi-
cal leader in the Reichstag, Analysing the
most recent government report concerning
the colonies, finds that there are only S,762
Germans in all the colonies, including Off
Gals, officers, missionaries, women and chill
dren. He proves from the budget OF 1902
that every German colonist costs the en-
pire 5000 marks a year. While the total
colonial trade has increased during the last
five years from 100000 marks TO 25,OO0,O00
marks the colonial appropriations during
the same length OF time have increased
from slightly more than 100000 TO 19.ooO,00O
marks. The increase in Exports 10 the colo

Gernsry's Reply 20 Spain.

BERLIN. Feb. 1.-The Foreign Office was
Informed to-day that the Associated Press
had issued for publication the text OF the
replies of all the European courts except
that of Germany, to the request Of Spain
for concerted action by the powers sent
out March rs. 1898, from Madrid. The cor
respondent asked for the text of the Ger
man answer 10 this request. The Foreign
Office said that the answer OF the German
government was made orally by the Ger
man ambassador at Madrid. The answer
was that Germany could not take the in
itiative and must await the action of the
other powers. Subsequent events made a
further answer unnecessary.

views Of Count sternberg.

LONDON, Feb. S.-The Times this morn
ing publishes a letter from Count Adelbert
Sternberg, who fought upon the Boer side
in South Africa and was captured. In the
course of this letter, which deals with
European ~Anglophobia, and declares that
peace could be negotiated at once by the
promise Of local self government and the
rebuilding and restocking of Boer farms,
Sternberg says that his visit to North
America taught him who is the enemy of
Europe. Instead of hating England, who
opens her colonies to the trade OF the world,
Sternberg says the continent ought TO rec
ognize hat its true enemy is now arising
N the West like a great sun of gold.

HOLLANDS ACTION.
1t Probably Was Taken the
Cosnizance of Other Powers.

LONDON, Feb. THE answering Of
questions by government officials in the
House OF Commons to-day disclosed the
fact that the government had no reason to
believe the note of the government of The
Netherlands on the subject of peace in
South Africa was formulated after consul
& alton with another European power.
The war secretary, Mr.. Brodrick, said
that the number of horses purchased dur
ing the war totaled 446,OSS, of which 77,10l
came from the United States and 1854
from Canada. In addition, about S9,075
horses had been captured in South Africa.
