INAUGURATION CHANGE
NOW SEEMS UNLIKELY
Continued from First Page.)

Commissioner MaofaTIand stated in an
szEer to question that there was a strong
public opinion in favor Of the change in
tho date of the Inauguration The commit
tee, he said had letters from many OF
the governors of States all endorsing the
proposition
Answering a question from Representa-
tive jenkins. Commissioner Macfarland
said the question Ct the meeting Of Con
sress should be considered separately and
not made part Of the Senate resolution
changing the date of inauguration. The
Commissioner expressed the opinion that
the simple proposition of changing the
support Of fully two-thfrds Of the mem
hership Of the House.
Mr. Ray Asks Questions,
Chairman Ray wanted 10 know if the
Legislature OF any state had expressed
the wish that the change be made Mr.
Mcfarland replied that he did not know
Of any.
Chairman Ray then remarked that it
was usual for State Legislatures TO pass
memorials when amendments to the Con
stitution were desired. but on the pending
proposition the judiciary Committee had
received no such memorial OF petition
Commissioner Macfarland suggested
that as the sentiment in favor of the
proposed change was so widespread the
Legislatures of the States presumed that
Congress would act without waiting for
them to take the initiative.
Traditions of a Century.
II you undertake to make the proposed
change" said Mr.. Ray. because Of the
weather, you viii interfere with the in
stitutions and traditions Of a century
You VIII change the Constitution and the
term Of Office to get good weather fol
the inauguration. It is a serious mat
ter OF course I understand the business
people are fond Of display"
Mr. MacfarIand, replying to the chair
mans criticism said it was not a trivial
matter. Congress-, he said. us con
sidering a bill to protect the life OF the
President. and it was equally important
that the Presidents life be protected from
/ disease as an assassin.
Hon. James L. Norris, who has been a
member Of the inaugural committees for
many years. made brief statement be-
fore the committee. urging that questions
foreign from the main proposition to
change the date of Inauguration be elm
mated from the present consideration.
All Agreed on a Change.
On the matter of a change in Inaugural
ton Mr. Norris said ali the people were
agreed. and he did-not wish to see the
resolution loaded down with questions
upon which there might be a division OF
sentiment He urged speedy action IL
order that the question might be placed
before the various Legislatures at thefi
next sessions. Some OF them. notably
| Alabama, he said. would meet this fal
and not again for four years.
Mr.. Norris related his experience as
chairman OF the inaugural committe,
when President Cleveland was indicted
into Office on an unusually Indictment day
Mr. John Joy Edison said that the re
I ports OF the Weather Bureau showed tina
/ the last Thursday OF april was mucI
more favorable than March I, since 1870
and that the risk and health was a grea
deal less

lngersoIl on Marriage.

/ regard marriage as the boliest
institution among men. without
the iireside there is no human adj
~yaneen1ent: without the family reta-
ions there is 90 life worth living.
We sometimes hear of unharry mar
riages. Well, that is the fault OF the
people, not of the institution. Every
good government is made up Of good
families. The foundation OF good
government is the family, and every
thing that tends to destroy the family
is Infamous. I believe in marriage
and hold in utter contempt the opin-
ions Of long haired men and short
haired women who denounce the
institution of marriage. The grand
est ambition any man can possess is
to live and to improve himself IN
heart and brains as to be worthy OF
the lore of some splendid woman, and
the grandest ambition any girl can
have is to make herself worthy of the
love and admiration of some nagnifi-
cent man. That is my idea. There
is no success without marriage. You
had better be the emperor OF one
loving and tender heart, and she en-
press of yours, than TO be king OF The
world. The man who has really wor
the love of one good woman in thi;
world, | don't care if he dies in The
ditch, his life has been s success.

Reflections OF q Bachelor.

We must forgive yemen because
they love much.
Women's hate. is only love turned
the wrong way. AT times theytry to
injure men, but only because they
hope thereby to please some other
man.
Love often goes blindfold over a
bridge built of dreams and exaggera-
ton, toward the realities it may never
reach itself, leaving 8 track that the
stronger may follow, and would not
have thought out of themselves.
Love is a strange thing that will
not be controlled, that viii have
nothing to do with convenience that
will not be governed by reason !; that
may 60 to the worst and leave the
best.-N. Y. Press.

Charley Dubois a prominent rice
planter living Z miles west of this
city on the St. Cloud Plantation has
very mysteriously disappeared. Mr..
Dubois left his farm several days ago
stating that he was going to Lake
Charles and from there he would go
to Abbeville, and when last heard OF
was by phone from Abbeville, stating
that he would be home on the fol
lowing day. Since that time nothing
can be heard or trace found of him.
1t is the prevailing opinion that Mr.
Dubois was taken seriously i'll at some

has a host OF friends in this section
who are making a diligent search for
him.-Gueydan News.

PEACE NOW In SIGHT
Cen. Fred D. Grant Brings Good
News from Philippines.
Inhabitants Of samar VIII Make No
Further Trouble and Moro~ Can
BE Controlled by "A small
Force.

Brig. Gen Frederick Dent Grant
who pacifed the dark and bloody
Island of Samar. has returned from
the Philippines after three years
service in the islands. He came on
the transport Logan and brought
with him q bushel Of facts about the
situation in the island, together with
a rather concise idea Of the situation
down there. Since Gen. Smith, Of
the kill and burn" order fame, re-
1inquished his authority over this
blood-stained island, Gen. Grant has
been in charge. He began the work
OF bringing the fiery native spirit OF
the islanders under civil and military
control, where Gen. Smith left Off
and he pursued the task with a
mixed combination of aggressiveness
and diplomacy, qualities that pre-
dominated in his father, the late
president of the United States, u. S.
Grant.
Gen. Grant has been in the Philip
pines since the first outbreak, and
during that time he has only been
home once, and that was on two
months sick leave. He goes to San
Antonio, Tex, having been appointed
to take charge of the department of
Texas.
"Samar is enjoying the. first period
of peace it has ever known said
Gen. Grant, "and / am entirely salts
fed that the inhabitants of the
island will not attempt to make any
further trouble for our government
"Now that they have been forced
by the stress of military operations
to cease their hostility, the natives
for the most part seem actually and
absolutely contented with the new
order Of things An incident which
occurred just before | left has con-
WINGED me that even the natives who
live in the thinly populated portions
of the islands are no longer opposed

MAD MULLAH AT WAR
Old-Time Adversary Again Menaces
Great Britain.
Ruler of somnIiIand In Field with
\ 10000 Men-His Followers Are
Splendid Fighters and Ex-
tremeIy Pious.

Great Britain is again in trouble.
This time it is the mad mullah of So
maitland, who is disputing the right
of the English to govern himself and
his people, and at the head Of q con-
siderable force Of fanatical followers
has declared war against King Ed
ward and all his minions. Several
years ago he was found to be a tough
customer to deal with, having been one
element Of the war in the Soudan. lie
was finally overcome. however, and it
was hoped that bis rebeliious spirit
WAS effeetually broken. Such does not
seem to have been the ease, however,
for he is now said 10 be as fun Of fight
as ever. and well equipped for carry
ing on a protracted resistance TO the
British authority.
Somaliland is but a small country
situated some 10 degrees south OF the
equator-near the northwest coast Of
Africa. 1t is for the most part des-
ert, and the people subsist by trade
with the surrounding tribes. They are
nomadic. like most desert jewellers,
and all attempts to ciyilize them have
proved futile. Their religion is Mo-
hammedan, and like all followers of
the prophet they fight with despera-
ton, deeming it sure passport to
heaven to fall in battle.
The operations of the mad mullah,
Hail Muhammed Abdullah, says the
Chicago Chronicle began early in 1899,
when he led a raid against a neighbor-
ing tribe on the pretext that its mem
bers had stolen camels from his peo-
pie. He was then an ordinary mullah,
or priest, but after number of sue
.cessful raids he proclaimed himself
The successor of the mahdi, assuming
an Sltagonistie attitude toward the

to the invasion of our civil system
into their lives, and that they bear
no i'll will to American citizens or
American soldiers.
when | first went to Samar it was
a case of fight your way everywhere,
and protect yourself while so doing.
A soldier could not venture much
out of hailing distance of even the
conquered towns without being set
upon AID killed by savage natives.
Now an American can go anywhere
and go unarmed One of our sol
diers deserted for some reason or
other, and he braved all sorts of
dangers and made straight for the
interior of the island. He met ma
tives armed to the teeth, but none
of them showed any disposition to
modest him.
This particular soldier, whose
name l have forgotten, was being
court-martialed when l left, but his
experiences with the heretofore un-
tanned and savage natives brushed
away doubt and left the authori-
ties in the rather confident attitude
of knowing that the island was con
quered.
THE Moros, of course, viii com
nit deeds of depreciation now and
again, but it needs only a strong po-
lice force to hold them in check.
when / first went TO Samar l had
Sc garrisons and 5000 men under my
command Peace dawned so rapidly
that the forces were gradually with.
drawn, and when | left there were
bur half as many men and only IA
garrisons. THIS force is more than
is necessary to keep Instruction
down. The natives are showing a
lively interest in the march of civil
ization that our government has
started. OF course, they are a low
type of manhood-not a low type in
their physical development They
are brave and strong, and have good
intellects, but they lack education.
! They do not know how to read or
write. In fact, their education con-
sists of their knowledge how to en-
gage in all sorts of piracy and revel
in bloodshed, The day will come,
however, when these natives will
reach a ereditable stage of advance
ment.
1.-THE natives are not quite as prim-
tive class as our Indians, but they
are still wholly uncivilized. We may
! expect a little trouble from the ma
tives of the Holo group. They are
pulled by sultan, but they owe him
sort of informal allegiance. I
don't think he will prove very strong
with his people if ever the time
comes that they get into serious
trouble with our troops. They are
an ignorant, low-bred class and less
susceptible to restraint than any
| other Of the natives of that coun-
try"
