AS TO THE BLOCKADE.
United States Government Knows
the Intentions of the Allies.

Washington, Dec. 19.-As under
stood here, the blockade to be de-
clared by the allies against Venezuela
on Saturday is to be "war block
ade," as contrasted with the peace
blockade" which has been in opera
ton since the trouble with Venezuela
assumed acute stage. Ordinarily
legal blockade is preceded by decla-
ration of war, but at times this
formality is dispensed with and
blockade maintained just as though
war had been formally declared. To
all intents and purposes war has ex-
listed, and such condition has been
recognized by the governments of the
allies. A formal declaration that
blockade has been established will be
sent to all the powers and it will be
recognized by the United States gov
eminent. Following the practice in
such cases, this government will main
tain an attitude of neutrality towards
the belligerents, which they practical
ly become by the establishment of the
blockade, although whether a presi-
Dental proclamation announcing our
neutrality to the world will be issued
has not yet been decided upon. The
matter will come up for definite de-
termination very soon. Our govern
ment is fully informed of the inten-
tion of the allies.

A Unique Point.

In the Supreme Court there will
be argued in January criminal
case which will present one of the
most unique questions ever presented
to any court before. The case is
that of the State against Tom Pull
pus, convicted of murder in Chicka-
saw county, and his attorneys have
appealed against the Judgment of
the lower court, setting up, among
other things, that the jury in the
case of Pulpus were influenced in
making up their verdict by cam
paign speech made by Maj. Varda-
man on the day the court was or
ganized. The bill of exceptions
in setting up this ground for rever-
sal Of the judgment recites that
the speech of Maj. Vardaman
aroused SO much prejudice and race
antagonism in the minds of the jul
rors summoned for the extra term
that they did not give the defend
ant a fair and impartial hearing.
Pulpus was sentenced to be hanged.

CARNEGIE NOT A SANTA CLAUS.
Denial of the story that He Made

New York, Dec. 19.-The Evening
Post prints the following: "1n our
real estate columns, in our reference
to the sale by Mr.. Carnegie to Mr..
Burden of certain lots in the high
lands of Fifth avenue, we spoke of
Mr.. Carnegie's house, which is to be
Christmas gift to his daughter. This
item has been printed before and we
took it to be an undisputed fact. We
now learn that it has no foundation
whatever, and that nothing could be
less in harmony with the ideas of Mr..
and Mrs. Carnegie than that their
daughter should now, or ever, be bur-
dened with great wealth. Least of
all is she to be taught while in youth
that she has great expectations nor
expectations at all beyond a moderate
competence. Neither of her parents
deems great wealth desirable pos
session for the morning of life, or for
any part of life, except as it may be
employed for the advancement of the

C0piah School Trouble.


County Superintendent of Educa-
ton Wilson of Copiah county was
in Jackson last week in consulta-
ton with the State board of educa-
ton in regard to the school trouble
in his county. Superintendent Will
son is made the defendant in a man
damus suit brought by the county
attorney in behalf of the board of
supervisors of the county to compel
the superintendent to run the public
schools for six months. According
to Mr.. Wilson, there is not enough
money in the school fund to run the
schools for this length of time, and
he cannotn run them on credit. He
cannot legally issue a warrant to
teacher unless there is money in the
treasury to-the credit of the school
fund. To do so would make him
liable on his bond for the amount
of the warrant. State Superintend-
ent Whitfield went over the matter
with Superintendent Wilson and de-
cided to 60 down to Copiah to look
into the case with a view to adjust
ing the trouble. Superintendent
Wilson states that he is more than
willing to run the schools for six
months if the funds can be provided
in any manner to pay for the same.

Cotton Decision.

A decision handed down by
the Supreme Court at Jackson is
of considerable interest, as it set
ties the responsibility for the dis
astrous cotton fire which occurred
two winters ago at Vicksburg. The
cotton which caught fire was stored
on an open lot contiguous to the
line of the Alabama & Vicksburg
Railway, and it was alleged that
the fire had its origin in the sparks
from passing locomotive. A test
case was brought in the Supreme
Court by one of the firms in
volved, who sued for $1,000 and
won, appealed by the railroad COM
pany affirmed by the Supreme
Court. The same fire involved the
loss of over $4,000 worth of cot
ton and it is probable other suits
will be filed.

A MATTER of GUARANTEE.

Vital Matter That Will Cut a Fig
ure~In the Negotiations.
Washington, Dec. 19.-Whether the
consent of these governments can be
obtained will, it is believed here, de-
pend entirely on the suficiency of any
guarantee that can be given for the
faithful discharge by President Cas-
tro of any obligations he may assume
as the result of Mr.. Bowen's efforts.
The allies feel that they must be as
sured against the consequences of an
other revolution and the reputation
by the president, who may follow Cas-
tro, of his undertakings. The effort
to induce the United States govern
ment to act as guarantor, it is safe to
say, will not succeed, and it is begin
ming to appear that there is likely to
be mixed commission appointed to
receive all Venezuelan customs and,
setting apart a certain portion for the
maintenance of the Venezuelan gov
eminent, disburse the remainder
among the powers until their obliga-
tions shall be met.

The effect of applause on an au-
dience on a murder verdict was con-
sidered recently by the Supreme
Court in the Raines case, from Lee
county, and there was an intimation
that case might arise in which such
a manifestation would warrant re-
versal as having had too great an
influence of the jury. Private JOHN
Allen, closing counsel in the case,
had made the closing speech for the
prosecution, and as he took his seat
he was greeted with an enthusiastic
burst of applause from the audience
in the court room, which was
promptly checked by the presiding
judge. The remarks made by the
Supreme Court on the subject of the
applause of Mr.. Aliens speech were
construed by certain individuals in
North Mississippi as a legal inhibi-
ton against laughing at John AL
lens jokes, and the result was that
considerable excitement arose in
Northeast Mississippi over this mis-
taken Interpretation of the courts
decision, which was in fact based
on other grounds. Jourdan Boone,
of Corinth, who was in Jackson last
week, looked up the decision and
found that it did not affect the right
of the people in Lee and neighboring
counties to smile at Mr.. Aliens jests
and he was consequently much re-
lieved. 1--WE have been laughing at
Mr.. Aliens jokes for nearly twenty
years. said Mr.. Boone, "and I doubt
if even a decision of the Supreme
Court could wean the people from
their ancient rights in that respect. :"
