SENATORS HAVE HOT WORDS.
Sensational Penitentiary Charges
Bring on Spirited Debate.

DIInS OF SPITIISu OCpdlSs
Jackson, Miss, Jan. 21.--A spirited
debate, mingled with no small amount
of bitterness and factionalism, occur
red on the floor of the senate yester-
day afternoon over the charges of
fraud, corruption, mismanagement and
juggling of bookkeeping brought
against the officers Of the Mississippi
penitentiary by the legislative investi-
eating committee.
Senator George openly charged that
Warden Parchman now occupies the
attitude of an accused thief; that {. po-
litlcal attempt is being made to side
track the charges, and particularly the
Adams resolution, which demands an
immediate suspension Of the warden;
that large amount of lobbying is in
progress to quash the matter, and that
the senate owes it to the people as a
duty Of common decency to take i'm
mediate action.
Senator Dulaney took the floor and
claimed that Warden Parchman has
cleared himself of the charges brought,
and in his statement he was fatty
contradicted by senator Moore, chair
man of the Investigation committee,
VINO declared that the committee
would amply substantiate all charges
brought
senator Adams, author of the resolu-
ton, insisted that the rOttenness be
probed to the bottom, regardless of
who may be affected.
The debate at several junctures was
quite threatening, there was great con-
fusion in the lobby and the presiding
officer was compelled several times
to call the senate to order. 1t was
finally decided to make the matter
the special order of Wednesday af-
ternoon.

COMMISSION A UNIT
FOR PANAMA CANAL
Urges Acceptance of French
Company's Offer.
PROJECT STRONGLY ENDORSED
Commission Regards Panama Route as
Preferable In All Respects, Provided
Satisfactory Diplomatic Arrange
ments Can Be Made.

Washington, Jan. 21-The full text
OF the report of the Walker canal
commission concerning the Panama
offer shows that the commission gives
strong Endorsement to the Panama
project from all standpoints providing
that it is possible to make as good dip
lOmatic arrangements with the gov
ernment of Colombia as have been
made with Nicaragua and Costa Rica.
The state department has every as
surance that such can be done, and the
work of formulating a protocol to that
effect will be entered upon by Secre-
tary Hay and the Colombian minister,
Senor Silva, at once. The commission
shows that it regards the Panama
route as preferable in all respects,
provided these diplomatic arrange
ments can be made. While the report
points to the unsatisfactory charac-
ter of the Panama cOmpanys conces-
sion, it is the belief in state depart
ment circles that this will make no
difference as this government will now
deal with Colombia direct
The commission unanimously recon-
mends that the offer of the new Pan
anna Canal company to sell all of it's
rights, property and unfinished work
to the United States for $4,000 900
be accepted

AIban Perished In Fight.

New York, Jan. 21.-The Colombian
consul, Mr. Bugard, received the fol-
lowing disnarch today from Panama,
dated Jan. 20:
"GeI,-,. ---~an attacked the rebel
fleet todcy and perished on board the
steamship Lautaro. Have turned over
command and am prepared to defend
city with 1000 men"
The dispatch was signed by Arizona,
who was General Adams secretary.
1t is asserted that the death of the
Colombian leader may have the effect
of bringing to the government side
large numbers of men anxious to
avenge his loss.
Some of the men killed on board the
government ship Lautaro have been
brought ashore, where they are being
buried.

An Excellent Combination.

The pleasant method and beneficial
effects of the well known remedy,
SYRUP OF FIGs, manufactured by the
CALIFORNIA FIG SYRUP Co., illustrate
the value of obtaining the liquid laxa-
tive principles of plants known to be
incidentally laxative and presenting
them in the form most refreshing to the
taste and acceptable to the system. 1t
is the one perfect strengthening laxa-
tive, cleansing the system effectually,
dispelling colds headaches and fevers
gently yet promptly and enabling one
to overcome habitual constipation per-
manently. Its perfect freedom from
every Objectionable quality and sub
stance, and it's acting on the kidneys,
liver and bowels, without weakening
or irritating them, make it the ideal
laxative.
In the process of manufacturing figs
are used, as they are pleasant to the
taste, but the medicinal qualities of the
remedy are obtained from senna and
other aromatic plants, by a method
known to the CALIFORNIA FIG SYRUP
Co. only. In order to get it's beneficial
effects and to avoid limitations, please

to today, there has been no certainty
as to who is the partys choice for
mayor States have been made and

for treasurer and controller We're de-
cided without much ado, the mayoralty
was hard nut to crack: an available
candidate. or rather II willing candi-
date, who had the elements Of strength
was sought for in vain. The choice for
treasurer was disposed of to the pres
ent city treasurer, p. T.. Connor, while
John Bridget was decided on for con-
troller. AS to the mayoralty, the feel
ing is now that the nomination will be
given TO Hon. James j. O'Neill. Given
is the best term that can be applied,
for it is known that Mr.. O'Neill is not
only not anxious, but has not even Il
hanltering for the office. Perhaps if his
wishes We're followed his name would
not even be mentioned in the conven-
tiOn. There is, of course, some possi-
bilitN of Mr.. O'NeilIS name not going
before the convention; but the possi-
bility is somewhat remote Just now,
and is likely to remain in the shade,
unless there be some surprising de-
velopments within few days. The
unexpected, of course, may happen but
if any attempt be made to place an
other name before the convention the
proceedings may take Il lively turn.
