Governor Davis Medication.

Little Rock, Ark, June Ex-Governor
Jefferson Davis today accepted the in
vitation of the Baptist church of
Russelville, his home, and rejoined
that church. Inc governor friends
claim this is vindication of him by
his home people against the action of
the Second Baptlst church of. Little
Rock in Withdrawing fellowship from
him. 1t is alleged further by the gov
ernors friends of the Second Baptist
church of Little Rock church was the
result of resentment for the part he
took in the race for United States
senator against Senator Jones. They
claim also that the proceedings in the
Little Rock church, in connection
with charges of immoral conduct, were
heralded all over the country for no
other purpose than to injure him.

Washington, June 7.-This was re

words, the developments of the day
in the Cuban reciprocity entangle-
ment we're, favorable to the element
which is inclined toward the rebate
plan, and those who are siding with
that element were correspondingly
jubilant. The principal cause o. this
feeling of qualification was report
which was very generally circulated
to the effect that the president had SO

the so-called insurgents would be
acceptable to him as compromise
IL carried out on the. proper lines.
1t was hardly believed at first that
this statement was true, but when it
was learned that the presidents views
as outlined above had been expressed
to at least one or two senators, it was
seen that the story. had the best posi-
be foundation.
1t Is not all unlikely that causus

thought that it may be necessary to

FRENCH MINISTER'S BOLD TALK.
Makes Assertions Which Might 30
Construed as Extensively Aimed
at England and Italy.

Bizerta, Tunis, Sept. I'm. Pelle-
tan, the French minister Of marine,
made remarkable speech at an en-
tertainment of the municipality Mon
day evening, which it is expected will
cause the French foreign minister, M.
Delcasse, some trouble to explain.
After pointing out the Importance OF
Bizerta as bulwark of France, NJ.
Pelletan proceeded in part:
"We do not say we want to make
the Mediterranean French lake. We
have been cured Of the dreams of the
great man who wished us to dominat
the world. But part of the Mediter
ranean is French and will remain
French. With this powerful rampant
SO well situated for defense and also
for attack, and with Corsica and
Toulon, we can hold the open door
between the two halves of the Medi
terranean, in spite Of Malta and Glib
raltar. Certainly I do not desire a
conflict of peoples against England
any more than against Italy, but as
we do not know what others are doing
it is part Of our duty to prepare fol-
the holy war; for the Trench father
land against it's enemies, whoever
they may be. I am convinced, thanks
to the fellow workers with whom
am surrounded, that we can face every
eventuality. Security hardly exists
any more for the civilized world.
"At the end Of the nineteenth cen
fury, after the defeat Of France by
the barbarism of old Germany, we
saw an offensive return of the law
of brute force. The whole world
seemed to be dominated by the max
i'm, Might before right We must
then devote all our effort to keeping
intact that focus of justice and light
French genius"

as to the trusts, and further that he
is to insist in his demand for reel
procity with Cuba. 1t is understood
that he will fully outline his policy
regarding the latter question IN some
of the speeches ne is to make On his
western trip.
1t also can be stated on excellent
authority that the coal strike was not
discussed
The presidents purpose in having
this conference was to ascertain il
there had been any marked political
changes in the different sections OF
the country during the last year. The
conference, it is said, showed there
had been none.
One of the party said in part: 'Na
differences of opinions developed and
the presidents position on the differ

We talked over the entire political
situation, especially that in the states
through which the president is to
pass. The coal strike was not talked
