In.urance Law Revisions.

The Mississippi Compress Asso-
citation has opened the campaign for
an extra session of the Legislature
in order to obtain some remedial
legislation in the insurance ques-
ton. President Newberger has ad-
dressed a letter to the Governor in
behalf of the thirty-five congresses
represented, urging him to convene
the Legislature in extra session and
to urge upon them the Importance
of repeating the valued policy law
in so far, at least, as it applies to
cotton. In his communication Pres
ident Newberger states that it the
valued policy law continues in force
it will not be practicable to get in
surance on cotton in Mississippi un-
der the recent decision of the Su-
preme Court, and that the cotton
will therefore be driven into other
States to get insurance.

KING ALBERT OF SAXONY.
who Held Independent CONF
mand In the War of 1870.

Dresden, Saxony, June 21.-King
Albert, whose death occurred Thurs
day evening, was the last Of the gen.
erals who held an Independent COM
mand in the German army in the war
with France in 1870. He could hardly
be called one of the empire makers,
for it was his father, King Johann,
who brought Saxony into the empire,
but with her own active assent. That
the late king had considerable mill
tary capacity is shown by the fact
that he had an independent command
in the Franco-Prussia war.
King Albert contributed to the
foundations of the empire, and al
though he fought against the Prus-
SLAMS in the war of 1865, he immedi-
ately reconciled himself to the situa-
ton and supported Prussia's political
and military aspirations.
King Albert died without issue, and
will be succeeded on the throne by his
brother, George, duke of Saxony.

FOR A TREATY WITH CUBA.
The President Preparing to Have
His Way In the Matter of As !
sistins Little Sister.

Washington, June 21.-The war de-
partment has been engaged for some
time in the collection of the data re-
euisite for the preparation of a reci-
procity treaty with Cuba, should the
president conclude to send such q
treaty to the senate in the event OF
the failure of congress to grant re-
lief to the island by legislative enact
ment. 1t is not believed, however, TO
be probable that treaty will be sub
Initted during the present session of
congress, mainly because of the phys
icnl impossibility of preparing a sat
isfactory and complete measure with
in the short time before adjournment
is taken for the summer.
4 high official of the administration
expressed these sentiments when
spoken to on the subject last night,
and in addition negaiived the likeli-
hood OF special treaty affecting only
sugar producers of Cuba.

Severe Hail Storm.

The severest hail storm ever seen
in that section visited Ripley on
Wednesday of last week. For twen-
ty minutes stones ranging from the
size of buckshot to two inches IN
diameter fell as thick as ordinary
raindrops. Blown by a very strong
wind from the northwest, window
panes were broken on western ex-
posures, holes were knocked in tin
roofs, limbs were broken from trees,
corn, cotton and growing vegetables
were broken or literally torn into
shreds, and many chickens and birds
were killed. For a few minutes
those who witnessed the cyclone that
passed through that section less than
two years ago feared repetition OF
that awful experience. Fortunately
the track of the storm was not more
than two miles in width, but great
damage was done those who hap
pened to be in its path.

THE STRUGGLE NOT ENDED.
The Isthmfan Canal Bill Has to Run
the Gauntlet of a Confer
ence Committee.

Washington, June 21.--The house
committee on interstate and foreign
commerce decided to recommend
that the isthmian canal bill, which
passed the senate Thursday, go to
conference without the prelim nary
of further reference to the committee
or consideration in the house. The
measure is on the speakers table,
and Chairman Hepburn will move non
concurrence In the senate amend
ment, and agreeing to the confer
ence already asked by the senate, 1t
is rather expected that Messrs. Hep
brun and Sherman, of New York, and
Adamson, Of Georgia, three strong
supporters of the Nicaragua route,
will be the house eonferees. If this
recommendation is approved by the
house the future struggle over the
canal bill will be in conference.

ique, June 21.--The river which flows
by Passe Pointe has risen suddenly
four times since Wednesday, and as
. result 30 houses at Passe Pointe
have been carried cut to sea.
The first food was signalized by
the appearance in the valley of the
river of a torrent Of muddy water 40
metres wide and metres high, which
advanced with frightful rapidity. The
first houses that were struck by the
rush of waters were shattered and
thrown high into the air, and their
ruins were carried out to. sea on the
crest of the torrent.
Thick Clouds of Smoke.
During all of Thursday afternoon
thick clouds of smoke issued from
the crater at the head of the River
Fallaise, and the river itself has been
rushing downward with such violence
that its banks have been carried

peared. The river has now aiken a
new course.

All of the normals report highly
satisfactory attendance of teachers

importance of the normal work and
impressed the teachers with the i'm

enough to prevent a wreck, although

Mississippi State News
Valuable Historical Find.

= State Archivist Rowland has un-
earthed record which he believes
to be of more historical interest and
value than anything he has yet res
urrected from the dust in the ar
chives of the old Capitol building.
This is a volume of letters of Gov.
William G. C. Claiborne, Governor
of the Territory of Orleans, the
Louisiana Purchase, written during
the year 1906. The letters are in a
bound volume, and the larger part
of them are in the handwriting of
Gov. Claiborne himself. They be-
gin on May 4, 1906, and end Feb
ruary Is, 1906. In the volume are
twenty letters to President Thomas
Jefferson, fifty to Secretary Of State
Madison, ten or twelve to Albert
Gallatin, Secretary of the Treasury !;
fifteen to Henry Dearborn, Secre-
tary Of War, and several to Gen.
James Wilkerson, commander-in-
chief of the United States army,
and one of the Louisiana Purchase
commissioners, who, with Gov. Clai-
borne, received the Territory. These
letters, Mr.. Rowland states, are the
'best historical data of the times to
be had anywhere, as their testimony
is in the handwriting Of Gov. Clai-
borne and is unimpeachable. How
the volume came to be in the ar
chives of Mississippi is not known,
since it is strictly Louisiana docu-
ment.
