proved the opportunity to express his
hearty sympathy with the movement
in which they are engaged The Secre-

he had been required to give to milf

viction that it was of the greatest inn
portance to this country that the Ma

promoted and perfected as a necessary
school for citizen soldiery. The gulf
between the National Guard and the
regular army should be closed up ell
tirely. and there should be harmonious
co-operation between the two organi-
cations, in bringing about condition
of affairs which would make the eoun-
try always ready with. an efficient vol

DEADLY AFFRAY IN TEXAS.
Three Men Killed, One Fatally
Wounded in Family Faction Fight

Ahrce Men Killed, One Fatally
Wounded in Family Faction Fight
Belleville, Tex, Jan. 22.-Early this
evening an ARRAY occurred here which
resulted in three deaths, the fatal
wounding of one, and the slight
wounding of three others. The dead
are:
Raymond White, constable at Wallis.
Milan Odom, his half-brother.
Henry Dippert, bystander.
The fatally wounded:
Walter Pennington, shot through the
bowels, the bullet going entirely
through the body.
Slightly wounded Elihu Pennington,
Antoine Dippert, of Belleville a by
stander.
John Havkvath of Sealy, a, by
stander, bullet through foot.
The circumstance which caused the
battle with it's disastrous results was
the meeting of the Pennington and
Odom factions here to-day.
Walter Pennington, under Indictment
for the murder of J. c. Odom, brother
of Milan Odom and a half-brother of
Raymond White, was being tried in the
District Court and large number of
people came here from Wallis as wit
nesses, among them the relatives of the
deceased. There was no outbreak I'M
til the parties met at the Depot, where
a large crowd of people were assembled
awaiting the trial Just how the af-
fair started no one seems 70 know def
niteiy, but it is generally claimed
that the first hostile act was commit
ted by the Odom faction. The first
person wounded was Walter Penning-
ton. The bullet entered his stomach
and ranged upward passing through
him. He then opened fire and in an
instant the shooting became general.
The two Dipperts were standing to-
gether and had no chance to get UNI
der cover. Henry was struck by a
bullet and dropped dead where ne
stood. Antoine's wound is in the side
and it is believed will not prove dan
gerous. Havkvath was shot while
trying. to get out of range. When the
shooting ceased it was found that White
and Odom had been instantly killed
White dying with his pistol cooked
and ready to fire. He and Odom were
lying close together.
Walter Pennington was carried to
the hotel where he now lies in a dying
condition. His father Elihu Penning-
ton, was struck only once, the bail
ploughing through his hair under the
scalp on the left side of his head.

LUMBERMEN'S GRIEVANCES.
Exporters Have Complaints Against
Steamship Companies and win
Seek LeuieIntfOu

Seek Legislation.
Cincinnati, Jan. 22.-The Convention
of the National Lumber Exporters As
ISOLATION began here to-day and viii
continue tomorrow. The association is
composed OF the leading lumber export
ers of the United States. About twenty
representative exporters were present.
including the following officers
President E. M. Price. New York;
first vice president, II. N. Saxton, Jr..
Of Knoxville, Tenn; second vice presi-
dent. John l.. Alcock of Baltimore;
treasurer, Richard w. Price OF Balti-
more, and Traffic Manager and Secre-
tary Elliott Lang Of Memphis
The principal object of the meeting is
to agree upon ways and means for
urging the passage of a bill introduced
in Congress entitled IAN act relating
to the transportation of merchandise
between the United States and foreign
ports, to bills OF lading, and to certain
obligations, duties and rights in con-
nection with the carriage of property"
What the lumber exporters insist
upon Is receiving from the steamship
companies clean bills of ladng.
They complain of the carelessness of
the steamship lines in the handling of
their lumber cargOes, and the frequent
destruction Of lumber during q voyage.
This movement is to compel the steam
ship lines to deliver the lumber at its
destination In as good condition as it
was received on shipboard
There are also minor grievances
sought to be rectlfied connected with
the handling of lumber and other car
goes by the London dock companies,
and alleged excessive charges by those
companies. Ambassador Choate a
short time ago formally reported these
abuses to the Secretary of State.
1t appeared from the discussion to-
day that the manufacturers Of cotton
seed products in the South will be
asked to join the movement.

follows:
"GeBtlenen. feel sure that on
this happy occasion, You believe
that we ought TO drink to the health
of our friends"
These words we're received at

with enthusiastic applause.
A servant promptly appeared,

handsome decshter filed with a
crystal liquid.

Reorganization Does Not Touch the

REORGANIZATION Does NOt 1ouch tuS
Voters, Says Bryan.
LA CROSSE, WIs-William Jennings
Bryan left to- day for Watertown after de-
liyering lecture on The, Conquering
Nation in this city before large audi
ence. In an interview he said the demo-
cratic papers had made every effort to
reorganize the party and 1T was largely
through their advertising that this step
has been taken. This, together with the
fact that the large democratic papers were
against many of the policies of the party
in 1895. he says, has given the people an
exaggerated idea of the strength of the
reorganiZers. -. .-..
He said that the Tilden dinner recently
given In New York was attended by prob
ably 500 persons. II ten such dinners were
to be given In various parts of the coun-
try 1t would appear as though the whole
country was In favor of reorganization,
and yet they may not have an attendance
to exceed 5000. He continued by saying
that reorganization was on the surface,
but 1t does not reach the voters. They
do not join a party to win, but rather
because they believe in the principles It
stands for.
SIT is absurd he said, t'to suppose that
six and one-half million voters with deep
convictions can be changed by speeches
made at few high-priced banquets, or by
the presentation sent out through
the large ,dailies. many Of which are pure
ly business enterprises, run primarily for
the advancement Of the corporate inter-
ests OF their owners. After 1896 there
was the same talk of reorganization, by
the same people, but when the conventions
began to meet and the voters began to In
struct, the reorganization sentiment was
found to be Insignificant"
In speaking of the Cuban situation Mr.
Bryan said the Cubans were capable of
fgovernment and their capacity will
increase with the exercise of rights under
self-government.
