BENTON, La, APRIL 8, 1902.
The Democratic Executive Com
mittee for Bossier parish met at
the Court House in the town of
Benton, pursuant to call, and
there being quorum present, the
Committee proceeded to business.
The object of the meeting be-
ing explained by the Chairman,
upon motion and second, the fol-

Whereas, owing to the short
period of time to elapse between
this date and the time fixed for
holding the general election for
Representative to fill the vacancy
caused by the death of the lament
ed Hon. w. H. Clenaghan, it
is deemed wise and advisable on
this special occasion to depart
from our usual and time honored
custom of making nominations by
primary election by the qualified
Democratic voters of the Parish,
and for the purpose of meeting
such emergency,
Be it resolved, That no prima-
ry election be ordered for the
nomination Of q Democratic can
didate to fill the unexpired term

THE BUTLER CASE REVIVED.
war Office Officials Charged With
Unfairness, but Vote of Censure
Defeated in House.

London, July 1.-THE Butler con-
stroVersy was again raised by Sir Ed
ward Grey, bart, Liberal, in the House
of Commons to-day on the war office
vote. Sir Edward charged the war of
fee officials with acting unfairly to-
wards Gen. Butler and demanded the
publication of further papers.
The War Secretary. Mr. Brodrick,
declared further publications could not
relieve Gen. Butler of the RESPONSE
bility of such mistakes as the aban-
donment of the guns at Colenso, and
the proposals to surrender Ladysmith.
Sir Edward Grey's proposed vote of
censure of the government for its
treatment of Gen. Butler was defeated
by 2S6 to SO. after much speechmak-
Ing.
simultaneously the War office was
being attacked in the House of Lords,
where Lord Monswell, Liberal, brought
up the scathing allegations contained
in the report of the committee on mill
itary education and urged the immedi-
ate appointment of an inspector gener-
al of army education. Lord Raglan,
the under secretary for war, and Lord
Landsdowne, the foreign secretary, re-
piled that a new scheme for educa-
ton, containing sweeping changes, was
being drafted. Lord MonkSWelIs mo-
ton was withdrawn.

London, July "details of an inn

This move is no less than a proposal
by the imperial government for an in
ternational conference to DIAL with
trusts.
Baron de Staal, Russian ambassador

ures, such as export bounties or the
control of production, but also by the
much more dangerous processes adopt
ed by trusts, private undertakings or
cartels, which tend artificially to in
f1uence the International market.

speaker of the day. He was met at the
depot by the Mayor and Mai. j. s.

gray suits carrying Confederate flags.
A band from Savannah furnished
music. The veterans assembled at the

tiful shady park in West Statesboro,
headed by the Governor, Mayor and
SPONSORS and the band. There, Mayor
Johnston introduced the Governor in
an eloquent address of fifteen min

insisting upon his excellancy's taking
up his abode in our noble little city.

Young Man, FaiiiNSs to Get Enforsna-
ton as to His birth, Does Cruel
Deed.
New York. July 17.-Henry F. King,
80 years old, sentered the office of the
New York Founding Asylum this af-
ternoon and shot two Sisters of Char
ity. He then ran into the grounds of
the institution and shot himself in the
left breast, making only flesh wound.
King was taken to a police court,
where he was committed without bail
for examination Saturday. The injured
sisters are Sister Angelo, As years old,
shot in the right arm, and Sister Ce-
ella, 30 years old, shot in the left arm
and side. Neither was fatally hurt.
King, who has been a frequent WISH
tor to the founding asylum, is believ-
ed to be demented. He suffered for
some time from melancholia.
When he was arraigned King said he
had begged the authorities of the
founding asylum to give him informa-
ton about his birth, but they had re-
fused to do So. This so angered him, he
said. that he did not know what he
was doing.
King came to this city in 1898 from
Baltimore and commenced a search for
the identity of his parents.

A SENSATION IN. STOCKHOLM.
Swedish Army officer Challenged
American to Duel and Failed to
Appear on Field.

Stockholm. Sweden, July IA great
sensation has been caused in military
circles here by the conduct of Capt.
Arvid Wester, who, after challenging
an American, William Casper, to fight
a duel, failed to appear at the spot
selected for the encounter. Last night
in the grand arena palace, Wester, in
the full uniform of captain on the
general staff and wearing his deco
rations, disturbed the seance of a
mind reader. Casper, the manager of
the establishment, demonstrated and
demanded an apology. Wester refused
this and Casper said the officers con-
duct was ungentlemanly and disgrace
full. The captain then challenged the
American, who accepted and repaired
to the meeting place at 5 o'clock this
morning, with his seconds, including
the secretary of the United States le
cation, Joseph Muir. Wester, who was
a, war correspondent in Cuba and
South Africa, failed to appear, and as
a consequence, will undoubtedly be
forced to retire from the army.
