Our great, good and respected chief
executive, his Excellency Governor
Longino, is no longer an interested
reader of the Evening Bulletin, which
he has been perusing ever since he be-
gan his canvass for the gubernatOrial
nomination. The postmaster at Jack
son has notified us that the governor
refuses to take the paper out of the
office, but the governor himself has
not communicated with us. While
we regret the great and good governor

NO CARS WILL RUN
Until Either Settlement or Militia
Clears the Way.

New Orleans, Oct. I0.-The officials
OF the New Orleans Railways Com
pany stated last night that they were
In the position of awaiting orders
from the mayor and military au-
thorities. They say they are ready
to again attempt the running of cars
as soon as the necessary protection is
given them.
The company was not In position
TO say just when that effort would be
made. No cars were taken from the
barns yesterday. At O'Clock yes
terday morning the matter was still
IN allegiance, and not until Mr.. Blair,
one of the general attorneys, had
called at the mayors office, in the
morning, and with General Jumel
had talked over the situation, was it
definitely decided that there should
be no further disastrous efforts to
run the cars, and that when they
were taken out the next time that
the militia should be on hand to
protect life and property.
Whatever talk of peaceable settle
ment that was going the rounds last
evening, and over the st. Charles
Hotel, none of it was carried to
President Pearson officially. He
was with Governor Heard for few
minutes, and it is said the matter of
compromise and adjustment was
mentioned, but only that.

The New Orleans street car strikers
have won the first victory of strife
with the company, but it is over the
city and the law as we'll. Such tri-
umph means loss of popular sympa-
thy, and can but prove fatal i'll the
long rnu. The riotous and murderous
assault on the non-union mortOnmen
has rendered settlement very great
ly more difficult. In the Herald's view
Mayor Capdeville erred most gre
vously in ordering the company to
resume service under penalty of for
feiting its charter, without having
made thorough and adequate prepara-
tion for preserving the peace and pro-
tecting the car operators. He cannot,
of course, let matters rest until there
has been full vindication of his au
thority. y.-Vicksburg Herald.

Fifty People Drowned.

Hamburg, By Cable-The steam
ship P-imus, of Hamburg. with 1S5
passengers on board, was cut in two
and sunk by the tug HAMA on the
river Elbe at 1880 o'clock Monday
morning. So far as is accertainable,
about so persons were drowned
Thirteen bodies already have been re-
covered. The Primus was an excursion
steamer from Buxtehude, province Of
Hanover, Prussia.
The disaster occurred between
Blankenese and Nienstedten. Among
the passengers were the members OF
the Eilbeck Male Choral Society. At
the time Of the accident the Primus
was crossing the river channel near
Blankenese, from the southern into
the northern fairway. According to
witnesses aboard the Hama the move
ment was made too precipitately The
Prirus struck the engine room Oh the
HAMA and endeavc-ed 70 push her
ashore, but the tug grounded and the
ships parted. The Primus then sank.
In the interval, however, about 80 OF
her passengers were able to reach the
HAMA by means of ropes and ladders.
Seventy more were picked up by the
tug boats, while others swan ashore.
The disaster caused deep gloom here.
Many children lost both their parents.
The Choral Society, which was on
board the excursion steamer, con-
sisted mainly of workmen. There were
no foreign passengers. Captain Peter
son, of the Primus, swan ashore and
gave himself up to the police. Captain
Sachs. of the Hama, also surrendered.
The terrible panic that occurred on
the Primus when the Hama struck
her rendered the efforts to save her
passengers almost useless. Fortunate
ly, the steamer Dolphin came up i'm
mediately and succeeded in saving
sixty of these on board the sinking
steamer while other boats assisted in
the work Of rescue.

Oyster Bay, n. Y, Special.-Presi-
dent Roosevelt is IN receipt OF letter
from Senator John L. McI.aurin. Of
South Carolina, declining the prefer
red appointment 10 the vacancy Oh the
bench CT the Ulited States Court Of
Claims. The President, it can 5e said,
much regrets Senator McLaG.in'G de-
cisicn, as he believes that McLaur:n's
senatorial! experience and his career as
Attorney General OF South Carolina
would have rendered him a particular
ly good addition to the Court Of
Claims.
The President is not certain what he
will de- 1t is understood that he is anx-
ious to appoint him to some, position in
recognition of what the President re-
CARDS as his service to the country and
his demonstrated ability in public life.
Senator McLaurin's s letter is couched in
the most positive terms and evidently
was based in particular upon a news
paper article which accompanied the
letter. The article stated that the Sen
ator had sold himself for the prospect
of getting such an Office as that Of
fered him. 1t can be said, however,
that the President regarded SUCH type
of accusation beneath notice and sin
cerely regrets that Senator McLaurin
should have deemed it necessary to pay
attention to 1t.
Senator McLaurin evidently has
changed his mind about accepting the
preferred appointment since he was in
Oyster Gay on July Il. At that time
he indicated his readiness to accept
the vacancy on the Court Of Claims and
the only question then was when ne
should resign frcm the Senate.

A SUBTLE WHISPER.

Winthrop stopped suddenly, his eyes
forcing hers to turn to his Quirering
face.
"Aleciaw he exclaimed in repressed
outbreak of madness. Alicia Graham,
does it all end in this? Have.you come
into my life to humiliate me? To de-
feat me? Have you the power to even
cast aside my knowledge of what
your answer must be: Do you sit
here calmly and scorn me, and yet am
/ powerless to keep from you that 1
love you with an intensity that will
not be crushed?'
For q moment she sat as one
stunned, neither moving nor speaking.
Then she slowly rose.
Surely, Mr.. Winthrop is mad!' she
said. one hand lying upon the back OF
the bench from which she had risen,
as though for strength. the sternness
in her musical voice in its low utter
ance. "Does he dream that wom-'
ans injustice even could allow her to
forget the memory Of the man who
sent her husband to death?'
Then she turned away and walked
slowly along the promenade toward
the hotel, as though there had nothing
come between them in view OF the
quiet ocean and the sailing ships.
Mrs. Graham was standing before
the mirror, shaking out her hair about
her shoulders with the careless pleas
ure of child in its beauty. Beatrice
was standing at the window watching
her.
"And after all that you know OF
these Winthrops, you are still ready to
accept the friendship Of his mother"
Beatrice said.
Yes" answered Alicia, steadily,
turning toward her sister and holding
aside the heavy masses Of her hair
that so the better she might meet the
flashing eyes opposite. 1T is not only
unchristian but absolutely absurd,

along the sanG-hills, she saw the erect
figure of Gregory Bensonhurst as he
left Beatrice II his anger. AS he
drew nearer she saw the cloud upon
his face, and guessed whose pride mad
wounded him. This knowledge, too,
struck in upon her heart as though she
saw some work OF her own set indeli-

pulse unusual with her, she left her
room and went down to meet the man
as he approached across the sands.

"I learned last night" continued
John Winthrop. steadily. resolutely
holding her attention, ''of the great
injustice 1 did your husband. Mrs.
Graham-I and my ciient-unknow-

known to us that to your husband
Mr.. Earle owed his life. do you think
even in your unbelief in our hearts
that we would still have refused

The cold, slow smile was upon her
lips as she again lifted her face to-
ward his. and the violet eyes were
calm with scorn.
'My husband was too noble to plead
for gratitude when he was refused

steadily. Il wonder that Mr.. Win

strangely, but she would not even
