Private John Aliens town, Tupelo.
reports the establishment of another
big industry, and in less than sixty
days will be manufacturing handles
for every kind Of farm implement.
The material used for the present
will be ash, but later on hickory and
other hard woods with which the
forests of that vicinity seem to
abound will be put to use. To begin
with, the factory will employ only
twenty-five hands, but it is expected
to largely increase the pay roll in the
very near future. With a world of
hard wood timber going to waste and
being destroyed every year just to
get rid of it, it is a real misfortune
that there are not many more such
establishments in the state of Missis-
sippi. Just such a factory would pay
a handsome dividend if located in
this section. On the creeks and riv-
ers that run near this place there is
plenty of hard woods and of the
finest kind, and it can be had at q
very reasonable price. The capital
ist who will invest his money in such
an industry here will make large in

Twenty Thousand Freight

SQUADS OF POLICE ON DUTY.

The railroad warehouses were al
most as quiet as they were yesterday
so far as the regular business was
concerned. At distance from each
warehouse was a company of pickets
posted to keep freight from entering
or leaving the sheds. Near the de-
pots were guards of police, on duty to
protect the men in the warehouses
and to quell any disturbance which
might arise.
Gangs of non-union men brought

anything to DO
President Curran, of the Freight
Handlers union, appointed a commit.
tee to visit the various railroads, but
no hope was expressed that a settle
ment would be made today or even this
week. The line between the opposing
parties was plainly drawn today, and
no move of either side was made tc
cross it.
Wholesale houses made practically
no attempt to send out freight or to
receive it, These big establishments
were all but closed down. The strike
has cost them hundreds of thousands
of dollars already and they stand to
lose millions should the condition
which prevailed this morning contin.
ne. The loss in wages to the stril-
ing freight handlers and their sympa-
thizers, the teamsters, to the railroads
and other lines of business Is roughly
estimated at considerably over 81 900
a day. The situation Is admittedly
very grave.
Commission merchants on South
Water street declared that usually an
imated market dead. In times of
commercial peace this street is one Of
the most congested in the Caucasian
world. Today in front of many of
the stores there was not a wagon and
scarcely a crate, box or barrel of
produce. Some had a few berries
brought by boat from Michigan and
Wisconsin, but these were about the
only fresh arrivals Thirty cars OF
highly perishable stuff was reported
on the tracks. while many more cars
containing commodities which will
last a few days longer lay abandoned.
OF today's arrival by rail only three
car loads were cared for promptly.
These contained live poultry It was
said that the humane society would
not allow them to perish. and a permit
was secured to take them to South

One wholesaler had car load Of
peaches on sale. The peaches came

MINISTER WI AND SUCCESSOR.

The news of the appointment OF
successor to WI Ting Fang, Chinese
minister to the United States, is being
received with general regret by the
press, and presumably by the people,
for he has won the good will of all by
the kindly and broad spirit manifested
lin his public addresses. In the recent
serious period of the boxers trouble he
rendered distinguished service In keep
ing the two nations upon good terms.
1t was hoped that he might be contin-
sled in his present position, but his APP
pointment as a member of the board to
hodify such American and European
avs as might be adapted to the Chi
lese situation necessitates his with
travail from his present post.
1t is fortunate for the country that
se is to be succeeded by a worthy man
Tho is familiar with our nation. The
ew minister is LANG Chen Tung, a
Harvard man, who has spent about fif-
zen years studying in the United
tates. He has been recently acting as
ecretary to the Chinese coronation
Embassy in London, and has served in
She legation at Washington. He is re-
garded as a man of ability and the fact
that he has thru residence here abb
fsorbed American ideas will lead him
10 treat orr nation as we'll as his own
justly.
The relations that now exist between
the United States and China are so
friendly that it is important that the
best representative of China should be
selected for this important post, and as
the new minister is cordially approved
by Minister WI it is presumable that
he is worthy of our confidence.

FAST FREIGHT AROUND GLOBE
Scheme of the New Shipping Combine
Outline.

London, July 1.-THE acquisition of
the Cunard line by the Morgan COM
binaton can neither be confirmed nor
denied with authority. The revival of
these rumors is the natural consequence
of the talk among the colonial pre-
miers on the subject of steamship sub
sides. They are willing to discuss any
plan or policy which includes subsidies
for any line running between British and
American ports and are leaving the
Cunard managers and shareholders to
work out their own salvation, without
help from any portion of the empire.
There are two subsidy schemes which
are favored by the official representa-
tives of Australia. New Zealand, and
Canada. one is fast mail service be-
tween England and Australia by way
of Nova Scotia. the Canadian Pacific
Vancouver. Fiji, and Brisbane, With
Sydney as the terminal port.
The other is a fast freight service be-
tween Montreal, Cap Town, Auckland
and Sydney. There has been a good deal
|of informal talk among the colonial pre-
miers over the practicability of arrang-
ing these services with subsidies for
each scheme from the British govern
ment and the colonies interested.
There is now a general understanding
among the colonial representatives that
the imperial government will not act
on the subsidy question since Mr.
Chamberlain prefers to have the colon
les agre upon Il general scheme before
the co-operation of the British gov
eminent is definitely proposed.
1t is also reported that Il colonial
agreement virtually has been reached
and will be reduced to definite form
when Premiers Barton and Seldom pass
thru ottawa in returning to Australia.
The proportions for mail subsidies on
the first route are set down as four
twelftbs for the united kingdom, five
twelfths for Canada, two-twelfths for
Australia, and one-twelfth for New
Zealand Two fast lines of steamships
will be required on the Atlantic and Pa
citic and the mail service from London
