Jackson, Nov. 17.-Since the re-
turns have been received from all the
counties showing the total congress
siOnal vote on the 4th of November
to be only 1908, reports are coming
in from many parts of the state Of
failures of the election officers to open
the polls OH election day. This neg
leCt was manifested not only in the
rural precincts, but in the cities and
towns as we'll, and it is roughly esti-
mated that five per cent of the polling
places in Mississippi failed to open,
while in numberless instances the va
lidity Of the election could be con-
tested, should anybody see fit to do so,
on the ground that he election had
not been properly held. At Friar's
Point, for instance, nobody manifested
enough interest to serve as judges and
clerks, and the editor of the local
newspaper took the ballot box and
made al tour of the town. After much
solicitations he managed to collect
twenty four votes for the congress
sional candidate.

Jackson, Nov 17.--At it's session
tommorIow the Mississippi railroad
commission will take up the question
of local freight rates on cotton piece
goods, clo'hing and machinery manu-
factured in Mississippi, The rates
genearally proposed by Commissioner
KincannOn are intended to encourage
home manufactures by giving them
the adysntsge in competition with
the establishments of other states, and
several sweeping reductions in exist
ing feright tariffs are proposed. The
railroad traffic officials have filed pro-
tests against the schedules, and submit
counter proposition in the shape Of
tariffs wherein sure reductions are
made, while other rates are allowed
to remain practically the same.
The matter was argued at consider
able lens tn at the last session of the
commission and has since been under
advisement, A decision is expected
before the adjournment of the present
session.

THOMPSON
THE BISHOP
Rapidly Sinking and Will
Die Soon
A BRIEF HISTORY OF THE
Life of This Distinguished and
Eminent Man.
THE MOST PROMINENT MAN
In the Church History of the
State.
Special to the Daily Progress.

Jackson, Nov. 17.-Bishop Hugh
Miller Thompson is rapidly sinking
and it is feared that the end will
occur before nightfall.
Bisho Hugh Miller Thompson, of
the Episcopal diocese of Mississippi,
was born in the city of Londonderry,
Ireland, on the 9TH of June, 1880.
While yet a child his parents emi-
grated to the United States and settled
at Caldwell, N. J., where they lived
about eight years, and then moved to
Cleveland, Ohio. The father was
contractor and builder by occupation,
and this branch of the family was
purely English, belonging to the
church of England. The mother, Ann
Miller, was of Scotch descent, and
her family was strongly Presbyterian.
The father died a few years after
moving to Ohio, and young Hugh re-
eceived an academic education in the
public schools of Cleveland, after
ward taking theological course at
Nashota House, Wis. He was
ordained deacon at that place on the
9th of June, 1862 by Bishop Kemper,
and priest at st. Johns church, Por
tage, Wisconsin, on the 31st of Au-
gust, 1856. During his deaconate he
was in charge of Grace church at
Madison, Wis, In 1853 he moved
to Maysville, Ky, where he remained
one year, and then returned to Wis
consin where he was assigned to mis-
sion work at Portage and Baraboo.
became priest at st. Johns church in
Portage. In 1858 he was elected rec
tor of st. Matthew's church in Ken
osha, and after remaining there one
year removed to Galena, H., and be-
came rector of Grace church at that
place. In 1850 he was made professor
of ecclesiastical history at Nashotah
House, and founded Kemper Hall.
In the same year he became editor of
the American Churehman, published
at Chicago, and continued in this
Office until the paper was merged with
the Churchman, published at Hart
ford, Conn. In 1871 he was made
rector of st. James church, Chicago,
which was burned in the great fire of
that year, in January, 1879 he moved
to New York and took charge of
Christ church., and with these duties
were added the editorship of the
Church Journal and Gospel Messenger.
In 1875 he was made rector of Trinity
church, in New Orleans, where he re-
manned until he was consecrated
assistant Bishop of Mississippi on the
oath of February, 1888. Four years
later, upon the dismiss of Bishop
Green, he succeeded to the position
of bishop, and the following year at
tended the great Pan-American confer
ence in London, delivering one of the
most notable addresses made before
that body.
Bishop Thompson was married in
February, 1853 at Madison, Wis, to
Caroline Berry, and two children
were born to them, Anne, who is now
the wife of Rev. James Pearce of New

annoyance because the Democratic
leader on the floor of the House failed
to perform a duty which was so
plainly before him that no one for a
moment ever thought that it had not
been attended to at the proper time.
Two measures of great Importance
to the people of the State over their
passage to the Senator and Represen-
tatives from Garrett county whose
work in behalf of these bills saved
them from ultimate defeat. They are
the bills to provide for a redistribu-
ton of the State school tax, and also
to reapportion the school book fund.
By the passage of these bills Garrett
county will get large additional
sum and the money will be equitably
apportioned in the other counties
and in the city of Baltimore. Under
the former method of distribution
certain counties secured much more
than their proper share and Of course
their representatives, whether Re-
publicans or Democrats, opposed any
change. Dr. Ravenscroft in the Sen
ate and Mr.. Finzel in the House made
strong efforts to have these bills
passed, and to their work more than
to that of any others is due the sue
cess of these measures. AS it was
they barely got through very late in
the session.
What the extra session will do in
addition to passing the tax levy is of
course unknown. The general belief
is that it will do nothing except
promptly pass the bill and adjourn.
There is no limit, however, to what
can be done except the Constitution,
which requires an adjournment with
in thirty days. When the members
get together again at Annapolis they
may decide to stay out the whole
time allowed and take up all sorts of
measures for consideration. The
leaders of both parties wish to ad-
journ without delay, but they may
be powerless when the time for action
comes. 1t is to be hoped that their
wishes will prevail and that the ses-
sion may be as short as possible. The
people are tired of the General AS
sembly and wish no more of it than
necessary until 1904.

Only word from Governor John
Walter Smith is necessary to make an
extra session of the Legislature an
official fact, and that word is the
formal proclamation outlining the
purpose for which the Legislature
will be convened and designating the
date on which the session will begin.
All doubt as to the session has long
been removed. Attorney General
Isador Raynor says there is no legal
roundabout way by which the session
can be avoided. Gov. John Walter
Smith admits the necessity of the
session to pass the tax levy bill which
the House neglected to pass. He is
now occupied in considering the bills
awaiting his signature and he will
not take up the extra session ques-
ton until they shall have been dis
posed Of
There is this much certain in the
Governors forthcoming proclama-
ton. He will recommend in his Gus
tomary message to the General As
sembly that it confine itself to the
consideration and passage of one bill,
that fixing the tax rate; and to this
one bill the Democratic majority in
the Senate, regardless of the attitude
and actions of the coalition of indie
pendent Democrats and Republicans
in the House, which acted as regula-
tors of matters before that body. If
the proceedings be confined solely to
the tax rate bill and to the bill appro-
priating money to defray the expense
the session need not last more than
one day. The responsibility for a
longer session will rest upon the
shoulders of those who attempt to
drag other matters forward.
1t is an expensive proceeding, this
blunder of the House, in not passing
what is by far the most important
bill of the session. The location of
the responsibility is diffiult. 1t is
true that upon Mr.. Rogers, Dem, as
chairman of the House Ways and
Means Committee, rested the duty of
following the bill to it's passage. He
should have followed it and seen that
it was acted upon promptly and long
before the closing days of the session.
1t is also true that an order was offer
ed and adopted prohibiting any mem
Der of the House from looking through
the files. Mr.. Rogers might have
taken it for granted that the bill had
passed.
Senator Jones responsibility ceased
when the bill passed out of the pos
session of the Senate
The Speaker alone had custody OF
the files, but he did not know the bill
was among the 200 or 300 Senate bills
which were before him when the
House met. Several Senate bills fell
by the wayside, and when the House
adjourned, the time of adjournment
being half an hour in advance of that
of the Senate, there were A Senate
bills which had not been acted upon.
1t is difficult-in fact, impossible
task to locate the responsibility for
the blunder. 1t is fact that the
blunder was made by the House and
is ineXcusable.
The blunder which will bring about
the extra session is an unusual one.
1t will be the second extra session in
Maryland within year, and the third
since the adoption of the present
Constitution, "a years ago. 1t will
also be the third session of the Legis-
lature within year when the State
government has been under the guild
ing hand of Smith, Vandiver, Cor
man, Rasin & Co. What a record.
