TOTAL VOTE WAS 1903
Election Returns all in-No Eiec-
tons in Many Parts
of State,

Jackson, Miss J, Nov. 17-Since the
returns have been received from ali
the counties showing the total Con-
gressional vote on the 4th Of Novem-
Der to be only 1898, reports are com
Ing IN from many parts Of the state of
failures of the election officers to open
the polls on election day. This neg
loot was manifested not only in the
rural precincts, but in the cities and
tewns as we'll, and it is roughly esti-
mated that five per cert Of the polling
places in Mississippi failed to open,
while in numerous instances the vail
dlty OF the election could be contested,
should anybody see fit to do so, on the
ground that the election had not been
properly held. At Friar's Point, for
instance, nobody manifested enough
interest to serve as judges and clerks,
and the editor of the local newspaper
took the ballot box and ma lie tour of
the town. After much solicitation he
managed to collect twenty four votes
for the. Congressional candidate.

LIQUOR LAW VIOLATION CASE
IN COAKOMA..
CONTENTION ADVANCED
Defendant Claims His Saloon wa3
ON Point of Land Part
of Arkansas.

Friars Point Miss, Nov. 17.-An
appeal has been taken to the Supreme
Court in very peculiar case tried at
the recent session of the circuit court
in Coahoma county. Charles Cook
was indicted and arraigned for selling
liquor without license, and as de
Tense he claimed that his saloon was
located in the jurisdiction of Arkan-
sas. and is therefore not subject to the
laws of Mississippi. He exhibited Ar
kansas Licenses for which over $500
had been paid, and maps were prodno-
cd that the point of land on which the
saloon is located, about one mile sou til
of Friar's Point, is on the Arkansas
side. Surveyors testified to this effect,
but the prosecution showed that the
land is Mississippi territory and be-
cause by aocretions formed from the
Mississippi shore, and rot from the
Horse Shoe Island further down the
river. The problem is complicated
one, and 1t is understood that the Diet
Tense will endeavor to get the Supreme
Court to transfer the case to the Fed
earl Court, as the liqour laws Of the
two states are involved. Cook was
convicted in the Coahoma court and
the sheriff has attached his saloon and

YAZ0O CITY Is
HAVING TROUBLE

Yazoo City, Miss, Nov. 17.--Yazoo
City is having considerable trouble in
making valid issue Of $17O, 600 in
municipal bonds to be used in estab-
fishing waterworks, electric lights and
sewerage. The plans for the three
systems were drawn some time ago by
Mr.. Walter G. Kirkpatrick, city EN-
gineer of Jackson, and few days ago
the issue was sold 10 Cleveland and
ATLANTA capitalists for prem
ium Of So, 800 Protests have been
filed, however, by several citizens on
the ground that the issuance and sale
is contrary to law. and that the
amendments to the city charter au-
thorizing their sale are not consistent
with sections 3O39 of the code Of 1898,
and delay of several months will re-
suit, as it will be necessary to carry
the matter to the circuit court and
thence to the Supreme Court
Owing to the fact that no question
of legality was raised by the puroha s.
ers Of the bonds, but on the contrary
they were sold at good premium, the
delay is regarded as very unfortunate.

Smedes, Miss. Nov. 17-Sunday was
a quiet day in the President camp
on the Little Sunfiower. The Presi-
dent and several members Of the par
ty spent a couple of hours this morn
ing rambling over the forest trails on
their horses. Dinner was the chief
event of the day. The menu inciud.
ed roast bear paws and possum and
sweet potatoes. Dinner was served in
simple camp style on q rough pine
board table set up in the open air.
Tin plates and tin cups and tin cans
were used. There were not enough
knives and forks to go around and
the colored cook announced to the
am usement of everybody as the party
sat down that on account OF the soar

distance, owing to bends, is over for
ty miles, but il the party started, it

of newspaper men and photographers
reached here last night and tried
every expedient to reach camp, but
their pleadings were vain. The ne
groes on the plantation who knew the
trail had strict orders not to take any
outsiders In, and the orders were
obeyed. Some of them wanted to
make an effort without guides, but
they were warned that if they did not
get lost in the dense forest they would
be stopped by guards along the trail.

being able to penetrate the Presidents
retreat from another direction.

NO EXPENSE is SPARED
When Kaiser Visited Him in 1895
the Nobleman Spent About
a rliliiOn Dollars.
London, Nov. 15.-Emperor Will
liam concluded his visit to the King
this morning and started on visit
to Lord and Lady Lonsdale, at Low
ther Castle, Penrith, Cumberland.

London, Nov. l5.-Empreor Will
liam has concluded his visit to the
king at Sandr ingham and next week
will be the guest of Lord Lonsdale at
Lowther Castle, Penreth. The Earl
Of Lonsdale enjoys particular favor
with the Emperor, in fact he is he
only British nobleman whom the EN-
peror honors with visit and it is
needless to say that no expense has
been spared in prov iding entertain
ment for the imperial guest. On the
occasion of the Emperor's four days
visit to Lowther castle in 1895 it is
known that Lord Lonsdale expended
CLOSE upon million dollars and there
is reason to believe that an even
larger sum will bespent on the pres
ent occasion.
Lonsdale owes his favor with the
Emperor chiefly to the faos that he
was the first member of the British
nobility to display an active interest
IN German affairs other than political.
He wason Of the first yacht owners
to go to Kiel and to join the Imperial
Yacht club. and as he has a beautiful
craft the Emperor frequently visited
him on board, sailed with him and
became his friend. Each year since
then Lord Lonsdale has been invited
to the army maneuvers, where, no
matter how many German and foreign
kings, rulers and princes Of the blood
may be present, the earl is always ao-
corded place in the very front rank,
with officers and servants to wait on
him and imperial horses and car
riages at his disposal.
The marked distinction with which
the earl is received every where in
Germany has had the effect of great
~ raising his social prestige in Eng
mad. Prior to the time the Emperor
made his acquaintance he cannot be
said to have enjoyed either the re-
gard or respect of his fellow country
men. He had been mixed up In all
sorts Of queer affairs and unsavory
scandals, in controversies and brawls
(notably his fstio encounter with
Sir George Chetwynd IN Hyde Park
on the subject Of Mrs. Langtry), so
much so, indeed, that on one occasion
the curate of a we'll known and fash
enable parish actually was dismissed
by his rector for having been seen in
the earls company. The Emperor's
friendship, however, has resulted in
people in England looking upon the
earl with good deal more induI-
gence.
Lowther Castle, where the earl will
entertain his imperial guest and the
brilliant party that has been invited
to meet him, is one of the most i'm
posing mansions in the North. It's
great terrace is nearly a mile in
length, and is carried along the brink
Of steep cliff, which overlooks part
of the park, with forest trees of i'm.
mense growth and well replenished
with deer. The park of the Emperor
Of China, at Gehol, is called 1.-THE
paradise of Ten thousand trees" and
Lord Mccartney, Ambassador to
q hina, IN one of his letters says:
If any place can be said in any res
poet to nave similar features to the
western park of Van Shoe Yeen. it is
at Lowther.

Persons Engaged in the Practice
of Medicine Without
Authority

Jackson, Miss, Nov. 17.-Informa-
tion has reached the state board of
health from several sections of the
state Of persons who are engaged in
the practice Of medicine without Ii
oense, and diligent effort has been
placed OH foot to see that they are

AT the request of President Cant and

bers Of the board are now sending out
circular letters to the regularly lioens-
ed physician in their respective dis
tricts asking that the names of all
violators CT the medical practice laws
be furnished them. and to attenmpt in
each case to secure sufficient evidence
on which to bring about conviction.
Members Of the board state that in
stances of illegalpractice are becoming
a menace to the profession, and alleg-
ed medloos are daily growing more
bold in offering to practice without
license, some Of them even hanging
out their shingles and inserting pro-
eessional caids in the newspapers. It
is stated that many Of the violators
are persons who have failed to pass at
the state board Of health examinations.
