Special to the Daily Progress.
Jackson, Aug. 20.-The congress
ional primary to nominate candi-
date fer congress in this, the eighth
district, will be held tomorrow. The
three aspIrants, John Sharp Will
Jams, Col. Hooker and Judge Pat

lies between Williams and Henry,
with the odds seeming about even.
Kinds county will be the battle
ground, as these two candidates are
expected to break nearly even in the

And the Abduction Case of Miss
Stone Cause Irritation.
LEISHMAN GIVEN A FREE HAND
In Dealing With the Porte-Full
Confidence Placed in Him.

Washington, Aug. l9.--It is admit
ted at the state department that
there is a renewal of tension between
the United States and Turkey, but
the officials do not deem 1t prudent
to disclose the present condition of
affairs. They say, however, that the
condition is In no way grave, but is
of the strained character which has
occurred from time to time with
Turkey in recent years. tits gather
ed that the present tension grows out
of the long-pending claims of Amer
leans who suffered loss during the
Armenian outbreak. To some ex-
tend the Stone abduction gave added
cause for irritation. The American
minister, Mr.. Leishman, has been
given wide latitude to deal with the
situation as circumstances may de-
mand. There is the fullest conf
dence on the part of the authorities
in the course being pursued by him,
and as he has been given such free
hand in directing affairs it is not
thought desirable to prejudice any
steps he may be taking by official
comments as to what has or what
will be done.

Wild Race with Cyclone.
The train was West-bound and run
ming at a rate of 35 miles an hour. 1t
consisted of an engine, a baggage car
and two coaches, which were crowded
with passengers, mostly from way
stations along the line. At 5: 40 o'clock
the engineer saw a funnel-shaped
cloud apparently in pursuit of the
train. He and the fireman watched
its progress for an instant, and then
the engineer, seeing that the cyclone
was bearing rapidly down upon the
train, pulled open the throttle in a wild
effort to escape. The full force of the
wind caught the coaches, which were
filled with passengers. The three
cars were twisted and hurled from the
track, being smashed in the ditch.
The train gave a sudden leap for
ward. The next instant the passen-
gers realized that something was
wrong. Darkness came suddenly. and
the air was filed with flying timbers
and debris. The coaches rocked and
reeled as the wind swung them and the
engine dragged them onward. The
cyclone struck the train with full
force. The coaches swayed and
rocked. Telegraph poles crashed
across the track in front Of it. Inside
the wrecked cars the passengers were
in terror. They struggled to escape
Through windows and doors. The cy-
clone passed in a minute after the cars
toppled over.
Fire Adds to Horror.
When the darkness came suddenly
uDon the train the brakeman started
to Light the lamps. When the cyclone
struck the train the lamp he was light

fire. The engine had remained on the

companies, special committees and

lie was given two grand recep-
tons during the day.
The following is taken from the
Posts report Of his lecture:
"Tbe main feature of his address
was Cuba and the Spanish war.
He told in plain language the
leading incidents in his career as
consul-general at Havana. His
story Of the escape of Evangelina
Cisneros was thrilling indeed. His
description Of the blowing up Of
the Maine was done as though he
was on board when the catastrophe
occurred, and the frowns that were
apparent on the countenances of his
auditors showed how much his elo-
quent words were making them
execrate the cowardly act.
His story of mis- first meeting
with General Fred Funston was
realistic indeed, and when he
jocularly stated that, by assisting
Funston in his clandestine escape
from Cuba, he too had had some
thing to do with the capture Of
Aguinaldo, the audience cheered
and laughed. He interpreted his
lecture with amusing anecdotes
and kept the audience in good hui
NOR all the time. His peroration
was worthy of the lecture, and he
was cheered to the echo as he took
his seat. There WAS an audience
present, the vast auditorium being
almost completely filled. On the
stage, which was decorated with
flowers, were seated a great many
old Confederates, grand army men
and various prominent citizens.
General Lee has wired accepting
the engagement for Bryan Friday,
April 18th.
