The Warren Mcdonald Bivouac
will meet at the courthouse next
Monday to arrange for the October
annual meeting at Wheeling. Jas.
Boxley, we understand, has planned
a fox hunt for the visitors, and pro-
poses to start a pack of forty
hounds in the chase. Adjutant
Henry Moffett suggests this might
be splendid opportunity tor lovers
of the chase, both gentlemen and
ladies, young men and young wo-
men, forming party for this fine
sport on the occasion of the re-
union. Seems to us there would
be more amusement in camp and
on fox hunt with the ex-Conted-
crates in fine October weather in
the wildwoods of Reelfoot than
tramping the crowded streets of a
large city during one of general re-
unions.
Messrs. E. S. Tatom, John c.
Davis. w. L. Sexton, and Guy Nc
Cornell and the families of each of
these gentlemen lett the first of the
week bound for Shawnee, Okla.
Having closed out their business
and private interests in this county
they go to locate in the new West,
to build up and estab lish for them
selves new homes, new business
and new neighbors. These are rep
resentatives of branches of the best
families back in Tennessee, all
honorable, highly esteemed citizens,
carrying with them the best wishes
and choicest blessings of old trends
as letters of credit and Endorsement
to the hest citizenship of the new
territory. Good friends and popu-
lar neighbors all, we find it a very
pleasant duty to commend them to
the good graces and friendship OF
the residents of the Shawnee coun-
try.

DENMARK REPUDIA7ES RIM
Denies Christmas Had Anything to
% With Treaty Neseti-
atoms.

Copenhagen, March 29. - The
Christmas scandal is not discussef
here, nor are the facts in the case
published in Copenhagen, although q
full account of Congressman Richard
sons statements in. Congress was
telegraphed to the semiofficial news
agency in this city. Denmark, how
ever, has heard from both Capt. Wa
ter Christmas and Mel s. Gron, who
also has claimed to have acted as
a Danish agent in negotiating the sale
Of the Danish West Indies.
Each claimed a commission; but
the government has refused to recog-
nize either OF them, declaring that
neither was ever connected with the
negotiations in the slightest degree.
A newspaper referred to the contro-
versy during the latter part of Febru-
airy, but it did not take Gron or
Christmas seriously. Gron started
for America soon afterward.

PRAYERS FOR PEACE.
Petitions TO the Lord for Ending Ct
War orered in Great Britain
and Pretoria

London, March 2S.-A prayer fer
peace was the only novel, feature Ct
the observance of Good Friday in
Great Britain. The bishops of Lon
don, Rochester and st. Adams issued
special appeals to their dioceses to
unite in prayer, that both British and
Beers be granted the temper of peace
makers, pointing out that similar
prayers are being offered in the Dutch
churches Of Pretoria.
A Sunday atmosphere pervaded
here. All the business was suspended
and the churches and open-air resorts
in the neighborhood of London were
crowded. No newspapers were pub
lished, and every one who could leave
town till April had departed. The
government Offices were closed, and
the war office had announced that
even Lord Kitchener's dispatches will
not be issued Sunday or Monday.

HOLIDAY CHARGES FAIL.
Daizell Renews Endorsement of Pitts
burgh Postmaster.


burgh Postmaster.
Washington, March 29.-The fight
on Postmaster Holiday has been
brought to an end so far as Congress
man Dalzell is concerned. After GO
ing over the evidence submitted by
Mr.. Holidays opponents, which was
intended to show that the postmaster
had not performed his duty, and that
he should not be reappointed, Mr..
Dalzell decided that the facts set forth
were not OF sufficient Importance to
sustain the charges, and he therefore
renewed his Endorsement.
The so-called evidence consisted OF
40 letters from people who claimed
their mail had been delayed or lost
Against this Mr.. DalZell has letters
from more than 100 bankers and other
business men indorsing Mr.. Holiday
as faithful and efficient official.
Mr.. Holiday decided that it was not
necessary to answer the charges
against him. AS the Senate will not
meet again until next Monday. his ap
pointment will not be made until
then.
Mr.. Holiday arranged to-day TO.
the appointment of four additional
letter carriers. They will be assigned
for duty to the Prick, Peoples, Key
stone and Arrott buildings.

CHRISTMAS is EXPOSED.
His Attorney indignant at Conduct OF
His Client.

New York, March 29.-Carl Fischer
Hansen, who was attorney for Walter
Christmas. the representative of the
Danish government in the overtures
for the purchase of the Danish West
Indian islands in 1900, was indignant
at the conduct Of his client shown in
his secret report to the Danish minis
try, lately published.
Ordinarily, legal etiquette said
he, would prevent my speaking. But
this report is so defamatOry and out
rageous that l feel justified in wash
ing my hands of the whole affair.""
Mr.. Fischer-Hansen described the
course of the Danish representative
as it appeared to him. Christmas un-
dertook, according to Mr.. Fischer
Hansen, to start the sale of the
islands for the Horring ministry. AS
far back as 1860 the sale had been
almost consummated but at the last
moment this government had drawn
back. Thus, Denmark could not make
overtures, or do more than suggest
that overtures would be acceptable
This Christmas did. He conducted
Secretary White, of the American en-
bassy in London, to Copenhagen.
''At that point" said Mr.. Fischer
Hansen; his services ended. The
negotiations from there on were car
ried forward by the American minis
ter in Denmark and the Danish minis
ter at Washington.
"The Horring ministry, going out Of
existence in a few months, was sue
ceeded by the Sehested ministry, to
which Christmas made his secret re-
port, setting forth the alleged obliga-
tons he was under to various Amer
leans.
This report was evidently made
with the belief that it could never see
the light. But it's publication has
shown its absurdity. / am quite sure
Christmas never saw the men he men
tions, and / believe the report was
made for the purpose of personal
gain"

CAN SHUT OFF GAMBLING.
Jerome So Declares, IL the City OF
New York Will Pay
the Bill.

New York, March 29.-District At
torney Jerome announced yesterday
that if the city would pay the bill
that he could stop gambling here. He
said:
Il can close every big gambling
house in town If the comptroller will
accept my vouchers for the expenses
in so doing. 1t would cost at least
$1,000 to get into Dick" Garfield s
to get corroborative evidence. Do
you think the comptroller would pay
a bill for $3.50 lost at roulette? He
would say that the city is not going
to spend it's money that way"
Referring to the alleged loss OF
$1,000 at one sitting by a young
millionaire is Canfeld's house the dis
trict attorney said that that amount
to a man with $12,000,O00 was not
nearly as bad, in proportion as the
losses OF poorer people in pool rooms
and policy shops.
do you think the police depart
ment will be regenerated in your
term of four years in Officer" was
asked. He replied IN part:
Eyes, l do, l think, however, that
it will take at least Is months to
make any showing in that direction.
The blacklegs of the police depart
ment think Col Partridge is nice
old gentleman, who is immersed in
the details of his department and
don't know what is going on. They
will find out when the time comes.
Col. Partridge is a firm old gentle
man, who will do his full duty. He's
been in office but three months, and
has hardly had time to arrange tho
simple policing of the city,"

TRADE REPORT.

Bradstreet's report on condition oil

Trade advances, as reflected in tele

stage of the season. That a consider
able spring business has already been
booked is indicated by the heavy
shipments of merchandise. Specul..

Astoria, Jan. 13.-Thomas e. Par

past three years he has been success
full in rescuing sixteen people who
had fallen into the river. The hotel
is located directly on the water front,
and many times during the dark
nights of winter, persons have fallen

had several narrow escapes from
drowning while rescuing others, and
has never received any reward for
his work. In the majority of cases
the ones rescued even neglected to
