The regular nocturnal burglary oc-
cured last night between the hours

local plant of the Nelson Morris Pack
ing company, at the corner of Mai,
street and Third avenue. was entered
and the cash drawer was plundered
OF its contents, amounting to $40 or
s12.
The building was entered by break.
ing pane of glass in one Of the rear
doors. The cash drawer was forced
open with a chisel and an iron pine.
The burglars at first attempted to re-
move the lock by cutting it out with a
knife, but that method probably re-
qulred too much time, and the chisel
and iron pipe were resortCd to.
None of the letters or papers in
the drawer were disturbed and by not
doing SO the burglars overlooked an
envelop containing SIG in currency.
Another drawer was forced open.
but it contained no valuables, and was
lundisturbed
The burglary was committed in the
glare OF an arc light just across the
street from the building and it seems
strange that no one detected the burg.
lar, as it must have taken consider
able time for him to have removed
the cash drawer and robbed it.

The Charges Embrace Gambling,

THE SPECIFIC CHARGES MADE

The largest crowd that has been
present at prayer meeting was at
the Second Baptist church last night.
attracted by the announcement made
last Sunday at the morning service
and printed in the daily papers that
the question of granting to Governor
Jefferson Davis letter of withdrawal,
as requested by him, or discipling
him, and eXpelling him from the
church, would be taken up says the
Little Rock Gazette.
The charges. as preferred by the
discipline committee. were read last
night, and on motion of Mr.. Chas. E.
Taylor committee of three will be
appointed to furnish the governor
with copy and request that he either
deny or affirm them
1t is probable that Governor Davis
will be in Little Rock before the end
OF the week to answer in person the
charges made against him.
The regular prayer meeting ser
vices were concluded last night about
O'Clock, and a hush fell over the au-
dience as Rev. O'Kelley, the pastor,
stated that the church conference
would meet at once.
A motion was made, but by whom
could not be learned, that all but mem
Ders be asked to retire from the meet
ing. This aroused considerable oppo-
sltlon. and finally the question was
put to vote and lost, so the meeting
was an open one.
Mr . Kelley, who was presiding as
moderator, announced that the busi-
ness before the conference was the
further consideration of the request Of
Governor jeff Davis for a letter Of
withdrawal, which was made at the
morning service Sunday, and had. on
motion of Mr.. ]. ]. Jones, been laid
over until this time.

amendment and the points are as fol

A NOTE OF WARNING.

Diplomatic sensations follow one an

days. The latest is note from our
government 20 the powers that be" in
Russia and China, protesting against
further lntrlgues IN the dark whereby
one country secures privileges In China,
to the detrment OF others. The note Is
a forceful, straight-to-the-mark docu-
ment It declares that Chinese conces-
sion Of exclusive rights to Industrial
enterprises In Manchuria, granted to
companies or corporations Of one ma
tonality, seriously affects the rights OF
American citizens, and constitutes a
breach Of treaty agreements. II recon-
mends this statement 70 the earnest
consideration Of the imperial govern
inents' There is no ambiguity in this
note. Coming as II does, SO soon after

MISS STONE NOT FREE.

The question whether Miss Stone has
been released from captivity continues
10 be as perplcxing as ever, One day
she IL set free, and the next she Ia
not.
Rev. James l.. Barton, of the Ameri-
can board Of foreign mission explains
that the llberators have to keep their
movements secret from Turkish Of
i,icals, as well as otherwise act with
the greatest caution It seems, though,
that Information regarding the expedi-
ton leaked out somehow, and that
Turkish troops were ordered to accom-
pany the party, with or without per-
mission. The consequence is that the
liberatlng expedition cannot move With
out the presence Of Turkish soldiers,
and It Is impossible TO negotiate with
the brlgands as long as there are SOL
diers within short distance. II has
been necessary, therefore, to negotiate
with the Turkish government for the
withdrawal Of the troops, before any
further steps can be taken
Turkey, naturally, desires to establish
that the responsibility rests upon some
ether government but II It Is true that
the presence Of soldiers hampers the
progress Of the lberators, the sultan
should be made aware Of that fact. 1t
win be time enough to find out where
the responsibility rests, when the lives
Of the captlyes are no longer in danger
The unfortunate ladies' can perhaps
furnish the clues needed The very
anxiety OF the sultan's people TO throw
suspicious now upon one party and
then upon another, including the in
famous lntlmation that perhaps Miss
Stone is willing captive" places the
accusers in rather dim light They
cannot AFFORD to further compromise
themselves by delaying the negotia-
tons The money, 1t seems, has been
paid. II is TO be hoped that the thieves
are honest enough to stand by their
bargain,
