Washington, March 21.-The friends
of Gen. Miles are indignant with
President Roosevelt and Secretary
Root. 1t is believed that the Presi.
dent is Planning to demand that Miles
be put out of the army. There is no
doubt of Miles intention to resign
from the Army if the re-organizatio

secret that the General collided with
the President on subjects of great i'm.

Root are also strained, owing ia

FINAL DECISION
IN MURDER CASES

Jackson, Miss, March GA large
batch of decisions in death sentence
cases Is expected at the sitting Of the
Supreme Court Monday afternoon.
Eight or ten cases wherein murderers
have been sentenced to death are
pending in the consultation room, and
it is understood that quite u number
of affirmations will be handed down
Monday and dates named for the ex-
ecutioners to perform their grewsome
work. Among the cases on which
decisions are expected, and the county
in which sentence was originally rem
dered are the following: Jesse Gee,
Bolivar; Feedy Middleton, Pamela
Steve West, Warren Perry Beck worth,
Lowndes; William Kennedy, Coaho-
ma; Walter Crawford, Marshall.
Other cases of considerable prominence
pending for argument are those Of the
trio of murderers who killed two
deputy United States marshaIs in La
fayettte county, Will Mathis, Whit
Owens and Orlando Lester, and the
two celebrated Washington county
murderers, Ashley Cooke and t. @.
Lauderdale. 1t is foregone conclu-
( sion that the last five cases will be
| readily affirmed, as the murders for
which they have been convicted were
the most cold bloodod in the history
| of the state.
In addition the above, no less
| than a dozen cases wherein defend
ants have recently been sentenced &c
death have been appealed to the Su
preme Court and the causes will be
taken up as soon as possible after the
transcripts of reports are received ant
| filed.
Mississippi has been in the midst Of
a veritable carnival Of legal execu
lions during the past two months, nc
less than fifteen murderers having
been sent through death traps during
this period. 1t is worthy of passing
comment that during this same period
of legal hangings there has not been {
single lynching in the commonwealth
Whether this is due to the fact tina
the crimes committed have not been o.
a nature sufficiently serious or afro
cious to provoke lynching, o
whether the persons who usually en-
gage in such impromptu affairs hav,
been awed and silenced by the de
monstration of the majority of tn
law is a mooted question.

Down for Six Round Go
Tonight

Philadelphia, March 2l.-Those old
time heavyweight rivals, Peter Maher
and Gus Rubin, are down for a six
round 90 in Industrial Hall tonight,
and, notwithstanding the fact that the
recent Sharkey-Maher fiasco put a
damper on the sport in the Quaker
City, there promises to be a good
crowd on hand to see the "Irish cham
MON" and the "Akron Giant" meet.
This will be their third meeting, their
two previous contests resulting IN
draws Their last meeting took place
in this city little over year ago,
and although they fought six rounds
the general opinion was that Ruhlin
had outpo;nted his rival and would
have won had the contest continued.
Both men have been training hard
for tonight's contest. Rubin trained
at Bath Beach with Robert Fitzsim-
mons. while Maher did his work Of
preparation at a local gymnasium.
Both appear to be in the pink of con-
dition and fit to put up a splendid
fight. Billy Recap, Of this city, Will

Great Improvement in Conditions
Since American OCcupation.

Washington, March pa state
ment concerning the improvement in
health conditions at Havana since the
American occupation of Cuba, with
special reference to vital statistics of
the calendar year 1901, is published
by the insular division of the war de-
partment. 1t says that during the last
forty five years, with hardly an ex-
ception, yellow fever has occurred
during every month in the year, and
other diseases were prevalent. Since
the American occupancy, a great de-
crease has taken place and malaria
has also decreased since mosquito

REPORT
IS MADE
PUBLIC

jackson, Miss, March 2l.-The re-
port of the special legislative COM
mittee appointed to investigate the al
legged Irregularities at the Industrial
Institute & College in Columbus was
made public by Governor Longino to-
Eday. The report fully exonerates
President Kincannon, the board of
trustees, and executive committee of
the college, and the narrative is rath-
If dull and uninteresting. The report
of Expert Accountant Cole, who ex-
amined the books and accounts of the
college, is appended.
A pretty kettle of fish has been
stirred up over the compensation TO
members of the committee The total
expenses of the investigation were
1892. 25, and the Legislature before
adjournment appropriated 81, 600 out OF
the legislative contingent fund to pay
the expenses. 1t now develops that
this fund is alredy $500 overdrawn'
and the drafts cashed by the bank at
Columbus and sent to the First Ma
tioHal Bank of this city for collection
from the state treasury will be re-
turned. The Jackson bank naturally
expects the Columbus bank to protect
it, while on the other end the Colum-
bus bank has no protection and will
have to look to the next session of the
Legislature for reimbursement.

A Case of Hard Luck.

Meridian, Miss, March 21.-V. e.
Brown, a we'll known brakeman on
the Alabama g. Vicksburg railroad,
was seriously though not fatally in
iured last Monday night at Newton
station by falling from the top of a
freight car. In addition he is $50 to
the bad IN q financial way and was
compelled to postpone his marriage
which was to have occurred at Hat
tiesburg this afternoon. At present
brakeman Brown is at the home of his
people near Rushing's Store in the
northern part of Lauderdale county,
where he is being treated for the IN
juries received.
The facts surrounding the case lead
those who have Investigated to believe
that instead of falling from the roof
of the freight car, Brown was knock
ed off by some one who was aware OF
the large amount of money he had on
his person, as this was missed by the
brakeman Immediately after he re-
gained his senses.
The other members of the crew were
at the side of the injured man in
very short time after he happened to
the accident and not one of them saw
any strange person lurking about but
nevertheless the robbery impression Is
given credence for the money was
missed Immediately and it was posi-
BILE that Brown might have been
searched before any OF the crew
reached him.

WILLIAMS
AND HEPBURN
ENGAGE IN A SOMEWHAT All
USING COLLOOUY
RIVER AND HARBOR BILL
Was Being Discussed When
the Discussion Took
Place.
Washington, March 22.-.

Washington, March 22-.
what amusing oolloquy took place IN
the House of Representatives the other
afternoon during the consideration of
the River and Harbor bill. The par
Elephants were Representative Hep
burn, of Iowa, who held the floor, and
was speaking in opposition to the bill,
and Representative Williams, o. Mis-
sissippi. The tariff question seemed
imminent for a moment, and the cross
fire Of questions and answers made
Mr.. Hepburn, created much amusement
among mempers on both sides of the
house. Mr.. Hepburn had made the
somewhat perculiar statement in his
speech that he did not think that the
committee on Rivers and Harbors
ought to be composed of members
whose congressional districts were es-
pecially interested in River and Har
Dor improvements Mr.. Williams in
CURED if the gentleman from Iowa
would be willing to form Ways and
Means committee, to frame a tariff
bill, whose members were not especl-
ally interested in the tariff issue Mr..
Hepburn replied that he could not
conceive of any portion of the country
so far removed, so distant, as not to
be interested in the tariff. Mr. Will
liams then inquired: Suppose the
gentleman is mistaken, and that it
were possible to find fifteen or seven
teen men in the house representing
districts, whose populations were not
especially interested i'll the tariff, If
he would be willing to see those fifteen
or seventeen men appointed on the
Ways and Means committee to consid-
er the tariff bill"
Mr.. Hepburn-"I do not know what
my ideas of moonlight would be if the
moon were obliterated from the heav-
ems. / cannot conceive Of the case
which the gentleman from Mississippi
states. I live in district, If 1 may
digress for moment, where there is
not protected manufactury, unless
it is little cigar shop or something
of the kind. There are POP, 900 farm
ers, people who draw their sustenance
from the farm; that is district that
favors the protective tariff, and they
see in the necessities of those working
in protected employments, of people
thousands of miles away from them,
IN the prosperity that comes to them,
in the prosperity that is widespread,
they see and feel and realize and reap
their returns from the protective sys-
TEN.
Mr. Hepburn's reply although ii
caused loud applause from the Repub-
lican members of the House did not
silence Mr.. Williams, who continued
to suggest suppositious cases, in or
der, as he stated to "elucidate the
analogy between the two cases." and
he stated that MIR. Hepburn being on
Yankee origin, should be a good sup
poser" himself, but although Mr..
Hepburn admitted his yankee origin,
he said he was unable to conceive
that there could be a single district in
the country not interested in the ia
riff question, so could not answer Mr.
Williams query.
