RAWLISON TIMES.

No. l." the best equipped and ore of the finest derrick boats on the Nils. sissippi river. WAS sunk Friday even- ing. March 1th, Ill Black Fish Bayou about two miles above the mouth Of Fifteen Mile Bayou Capt. Charley Eye had just finished loading the logs belonging to the Gladden. Lumb er Go, of Memphis. The steel tow boat, L. l. Patton, Capt. Elmer Patton, in charge. had taken large barge of logs and the derrick boat and attempted 10 push out of the bayou. There not be- ing eea room for this maneuver the boat struck d stump and tore hole tt out ten feet square in her bottom anidshlp and she sank in few min uteS in about twenty teet of water on her star board side, while her port sids remained above the water. Thus the boat stood almost on her beams end. her mast at an angle ut about forty live degrees. Capt. I've set to work te raise the wreck. and with the aSsiS. iance ot tte steamers l.. E. Patton and |. C. Attee. soon had all the necessary Wreeking material on the ground. and "Wednesday afternoon the Attee back ed out with the lighters, closely follow ed by the Patton with the wrecked der rick en route to the docks at Memphis. All things considered this was one of the quickest and most successful ef- forts of it's kind. without the assistance of diver. on record.
 Houston Hill, son of MT. and Mrs Wm llill, died at his home in Franks township, on St. Francis River, of pneumonia and typhoid fever. March l0th and was buried at Madison on the i2th.
 There are two dams across Blackfish Bayuu at Whitmnre, contrary to the laws of the state. They not only pre- vent tlIe passage of fish in that stream 1t all times of the year but are gen eral nuisance to everybody concerned except the mill owners at that place who put them in. People engaged in the timber business cannot get their ratts out but are forced to sell at that mill or not at all. The writer sup ersts that the proper authorities look lnto this matter and see if the above cannot be corrected. s.x

WILSON not
'SUPPR !.
Secretary Denies That Charge
as to Annual Beet Sugar
Report.
This Document Will Be 81
!. More Value Than
! Ever.
yaw York su,, ,sDocxay ss-vroo.

knw York Sun SD0cEay SorvHoo,
4 Washington, April 6.--Secretary OF Ag-
riculture Wilson to-day characterized as
ridiculous and absurd the sta tements
which have been circulated that the sec
rotary had suppressed the annual beet
sugar report of the department Of agri-
culture for the current year because the
showing made by the report was not
favorable to the beet sugar industry and
that its publication would-ibe Injurious &c
$the beet sugar interests in their fight in
congress over the Cuban bill.
Speaking of the statement that the beet
sugar report for this year was incomplete
Secretary Wilson said that on the con
trary the report would be by far the most
complete ever issued by the department
He said: fE.
1t contains a statement of the output Of not
only those factories now in operation, bu,
those now being built and those projected. L
makes possible Of calculation the exact extent
of the industry, and forms a basis Of estima-
ton for its immediate future growth.
AS for the omission of the customary
reports Of analysis, Secretary Wilson said
most of the states have facilities for
analyZing their own product and the num-
her of fbeets. received at the department
for analysis and report has decreased &C
cordingly. From one state only three
beets were received this year and they
had been sent in by man who raised
them in his garden and who hardly knew
sugar beet from a potato.

British Comments Upon and Devel,
opments in Morgan's Great
Steamship Combine.
Benevolent Disposition Of the Rus
slams to. Wipe Out Every Yes.
tige Of Afghanistan

London, April 26.--The Times, in an
editorial on the shipping trust, refers 10
the wild suggestions about the necessity
for government interference" 1t assures
Its readers that the British flag is not
going to disappear from the Atlantic and
Gays that men like Mr.. Ismay and the
others are not likely for any consideration
whatever to enter into transaction dan
gerous to England. The Times adds that
the objection to unfication is principally
sentimental. 1t regrets that the British
falling off as commercial and industrial
community in energy and efficiency pre-
vented the British concerns from ANAL
gamatng without the aid Of their Ameri-
can cousins. After arguing that the
combination Is the natural outcome of the
present low rates of freight, the Times
says:
Another question is whether business activ-
ity in the United States is taking alto
getner healthy and safe form. Hitherto sue
cessful as Mr.. Morgan and his allies have
been. 1t is impossible for anybody acquainted
with history in general and that of the
United States in particular to get rid of the
ide, that this kind of thing may be over
done.
The Telegraph says that the rumored
secret clause of the shipping agreement
are unfounGed. 1t says that the terms
will reach the shareholders next week.
Their substance has already been COM
