THE COMMISSIONS PAY

Washington, Oct. 18-The Presi-
dent having disposed Of the prelim-
inaries in his efforts to re-esta blish
peace between the coal miners and
operators is now looking towards the
end and will hasten the work of the
arbitration commission. His interest
in the affair has not tagged parti-
Gle. He has received the assurance
that the men will vote to resume
work, but is somewhat concerned
about the disquieting reports OF the
opposition to the settlement plan and
the possible clash between the min
ers and non-union men when the
mines are re-opened. There is much
discussion here over the exact status
Of the commission and the treasury's
authority to pay any expenses that
may be incurred. The question has
not yet been referred to the account
ing officers Of the Treasury Depart
ment but the general opinion is that
the commission must not only serve
without pay but must meet all ex-
penses they may incur trusting Con-
gress to reimburse them when the
urgent deficiency appropriation bill
is reached in December.

Carolina Situation.

Washington, Oct. 20.-The activ.
ity OF James s. Clarkson, surveyor
OF tie port of New York, in South
ern politics, continues to be mat
ter OF intense interest to politicians
here, particularly those who are
not in favor of Roosevelt's renomi-
nation in 1904. Clarkson is be-
lieved to be behind President
Roosevelts alleged opposition to
white" republicans in the South.
1t is fact that that the Republican
negroes OF North Carolina believe
Clarkson to be their defender
against the Lilly White move
ment.
It is also fact that the white peo-
pie of that State are in great per-
plexily and confusion about the ex-
act relations between Clarkson and
Roosevelt. The belief has existed
hitherto that Senator Pritchard rep
resentedthe President in starting a
reformed Republican party in North
Carolina, but since Clarkson S ap-

Il cannot say; the matter is in the
hands Of the delegates; I favor the

! CANDIDATES
LESS ACTIVE
OUBERNATORIAL CAr1PAlGN
HAS QUIETED DOWN.
PUBLIC NOTINTERESTED
The State Press Has About Ex-
hausted the List of Prob
abilities.

jackson, Miss, Oct. 20.-The GU
bernatoYial campaign has quieted
down considerably during the past
week and there has been decided
slump in the manifestation of interest
so apparent during the early part of
the month.
There has been less activity among
the candidates during the week than
heretofore, which in measure ac-
counts for the loss of interest. The
chief cause, however, Is the Deep
seated belief in the public mind that
the campaign has been launched too
early, and in many quarters it has
met with the form of disapproval on
account of the fact that premature
contests are invariably a disturb bing
factor in commercial and industrial
channels.
Again, the campaign has contained
mo issue in which the public is in
terested just at present. The propo-
sition to divide the school fund be-
tween the races and allow the negro
only such schools as tie taxes he
pays will support has been thorough
ly threshed over until it is now
threadbare, and the conclusion is
somewhat univerasl that the time is
not ripe in Mississippi for such a
radical innovation in educational
matters. AS this is the only feature
of consequence injected into the cam.
paign, and the average citizen caring
little for the personal views Of the
,gubernatorial aspirant on national
topics, it is not surprising that they
should stay away from joint debates
and public speakings.
The state press has seemingly ex-
hausted the list of probabilities, and
no new candidates have been brought
forward for inspection during the
week, while many of the suggestions
heretofore made have been received
with profond silence and lack of en-.
thusiasp that does not augar we'll
for their ambitions. The wedding
OUT process Is yet in the distance,
but when the time for the final line
up at the post is reached il is NOT
believed that there will be over five
or six actual entries from the list of
fifteen names presented for oonsidera-
tion.
Kincasnon, Noel, Critz and Varda-
man are practically certain as factors
in the campaign, and the remaining
actual entries can be determined only
by future developments.

TARPON FISHING
,rluch Attention Paid to Sport on
the Gulf Coast.

Biloxi. Miss, Oct. 2O.-Tarpon
fishing on the gulf coast has attract
ed considerable attention during the
past summer, and some cf the cat ch
es have rivalled those Of the famou:
tarpon fishing resorts along the Tex
as coast where the silver king has
been plentiful for many years.
Biloxi is the center of the gulf
coast tarpon fishing, and the place
has attracted many sportsmen from
all parts of the United States and
Europe during the past few months.
1t is now proposed that the resort
should be more extensively adver-
tised TO attract the devotees of the
piscatorial art who desire to try
their hand with the greatest Of all

LONGING SETS HIM FREE

Jackson, Miss, Oct. 1S.-Willie
Evans, the youngest convict in the
United States, was pardoned from
the penitentlary last night by Gov
ernor Longino.
Willie is now approaching the
ninth year Of his existence, and has
been in the prison about one year
serving threesyear term on the
bold, bad charge Of robbery. He
was sent up from Jackson county by
Judge Neville on the charge of steal
ing $500 from store near Moss
Point. Thera is considerable doubt
as to the intention of the boy to steal
the money, and it is not believed that
he realized it's value, the greenbaoks
being wrapped up in sheet of pa
per.
When Willie was brought to the
penitentiary the officers were in a
dilemma. They diu not know what
to do with such youngster. and
there was no ready made clothing on
hand to fit him. When the register
clerk started to take his measurements
and description it was necessary to
hunt around and find yard stick,
the regulation standard used for
older criminals refusing to slide
down far enough to touch the top Of
his woody head. 1t was finally deoid-
ed to make him messenger boy at
the warden's Office, and he served
quite faithfully in the role and be-
came a well-known figure on the
streets of Jackson.
During his incarceration Willie
saved $9.45 from tips given him by
visitors at the prison. and re will
start bank account upon reaching
home. He expresses much regret on
eaving prison, and has formed fond
attachment for the officials who have
treated him with great kindness.

Many Pardons Sought.

Jackson, Miss, Dot. 2O.- Franklin
county has established the reputation
Of being the banner county OF the
state for pardon, petitions, and week

sent to the Governor from that coun-
ty asking for the release Of some con
vict serving penitentiary term.
/. The latest petition from Franklin
asks for the release of Horace Brown.
serving three years term Tor at
tempted murder. The reasons assigned
in asking his release are that he has
been sufficiently punished having
served one year, and that the evil
dence against him was conflicting.
The governor has granted pardon
to Franklin county convict named
Alex Weathersby, sent up, to serve a
term OF four years for killinga nerg
named Anderson Selalrs, which, by
the way, isn't much of a crime in
Franklin. A rather unusual feature
is attached to the case. Unknown
to Gov. Longino, Weathersby was
at his old home in Meadville when
the Governor passed OH his case,
having been carried there to testify
in the Benson robbery case, and the
notice Of his release was sent direct
to Meadville. Weathersby sent back
his stripes and decided to stay at
home without claiming the $5 given
to each discharged oonvlct.
Several new recruits for the peni-
tentiary will arrive from Franklin
county Monday, among the number
being Luther Prather, convicted Of
an unnatural crime and sentenced to
serve two years, and Tom Plitonaro,
convicted of attempted murder and
sentenced to serve seven years.
A rather peculiar case was disposed
OF by Judge Truly at Meadville.
W. r. Stokes, worthless sort of
character was arranged OH the
charge Of assault and battery, and
after investigating the case Judge
Truly decided tkat he should be com

Belen, Miss. Oct. 2O.-MeEl bers of
the medical profession in Mississippi
are manifesting much interest in the
result of a surgical operation per-
formed in the little town of Belen
several days since by Drs. Thomas
and Stennis. The patient was the
seven-year old son of Henry Young,
a white farmer, and about four
years ago the boys father gave him
dose Of ealomel which salivated
him and produced ankylosis Of both
the upper and lower jaws, necessi.
tating the removal of all the teeth
from the left side OF the lower jaw,
several teeth from. the upper jaw,
and also aIveolar formation in both
jaws, the bones being filled with
small pits. The doctors administered
chloroform and performed an opera
tion which they believe will check
the alveolar formation and save the
remaining teeth.

ISABELLA MAY GO
BACK TO MADRID
SPANISH KING ISSUES AN
INVITATION. E38
POPULAR WITH PEOPLE
When She Ruled Her Court Was
the Gayest of the Gay She
Was Very Generous.

Paris. Oct. 18.-According to our.
rent report the young King Of Spain
is desirous of having his paternal
grandmother, the rormer Queen Isa-
bella H., return to Madrid and spend
her declining years in the Spanish
capital. 1t is doubtful if tho invita-
tion will be accepted as the former
Queen, despite her age--she will be
73 tomorrow-is known TO be extreme
ly fond Of Paris and it's gayeties.
Should the invitation be accepted
it would be curious indeed to see the
old Queen once more surrounded by
many who formed her gay court in
days gone by-stately, portly danes,
with white hair, who used to
be her fair ladies in waiting, and
aged courtiers who were the dashing
wild youths of her time. There are
still several duchesses, marohionesses
and countesses survivors of the gai
liant court Of Isabella H., and among
them, though far away from the land
of her youth, is Eugene, ex-Empress
of the French, who was then the
lovely jady in waiting styled "Coun-
tesssof Teba.' The sons and daugh.
ters Of these aged courtiers are now
occupying high positions under the
young King. But it would not be
among these grandees and mobiles that
the venerable ex-Queen would receive
the most affectionate welcome. 1t is
among the people that her memory is
kept green. The present generation
Of workers in Spain has heard what
popu lar Queen Isabella H., was !;
how her court was the gayest Of the
gay; how there was always plenty
Of work for everyone; how the Queen
used to 60 among them herself and
take an interest in all small doings,
and how freely she gave the needy,
needless Of the ruined state Of her
treasury.
With money the old lady is still
generous to lavishness. The story is
told that her chamberlain. in despair
at her royal disregard of questions
Of ways and means, arranged hnan-
cial object lesson for her. He drew
900 francs in 5-frano pieces, fresh
from the mint, and spread the bright,
silver coins upon a table in a room
through which the Queen often pass.
ed. They made great show of gilt
ter, and when Isabella saw them
said: "Why, marquis, you tell me
my Golfers are empty and here is all
this money Madame replied the
chamberlain. "here is barely enough
for the sustenance of your majesty's
household for three days"
The former Queen lives very COM
fortably, but with little state in her
fine Paris house in the Avenue Kleb-
er, and since the death of her hus-
band, Don Francisco, last April, she
has been seen very little in public.
Her daughters visit her by turns, but
her favorite child is the Infantia Eu-
lalie, who resembles her most.
During most of her residence in
France she has spent number Of
weeks out of every summer at her
villa at ST.. Adresse, romantic spot
on the cliffs close to Havre. It used
to be her favorite pastime to make
excursions along the coast inoognito,
visiting Trouville, Dleppe, Honfleur
and other neighboring resorts.
