STILL NO DEAD BEAR
PRESIDENT ROOSEVELT HAVING
BAD LUCK.
Takes It All Good Humoredly and
Says It Is Simply the Fortune
Of the Chase-Another
Trial Today.

Smedes. Miss, Nov. 1.-THE bears in
the swamp country around the Presi-
dents camp on the Little Sunflower seem
to have effected a successful combination
to prevent the President from having a
single shot at one Of them on this ex-
petition.
The only one the dogs started today fed
In q northeasterly direction at the first
cry Of alarm and did not stop running
until he reached the canebrakes about
nine miles from camp. There he was
overtaken by Mr.. McDougal. one Of the
managers OF the smede plantation, who
killed him at seventy PAGES. The Presi-
dent, who had started this morning in
the; rain with Holt Collier. did not hear
the dogs after they first struck the trail.
The President takes his I'll luck good
naturedly. He says 1t Is simply the for
tune Of the chase and that he will have
a last try tomorrow.
The bear killed today weighed 22S
pounds. Judge Dickinson Is the only 9TH
er member Of the party except Mr.. Nc
Dougal who has fired a shot. The Judge
missed a swamp deer at 100 yards.
Mr., McElhany also had q chance at a
deer today but his gun refused to go off.
1t blew up colder today and the rain,
which began last night, ceased falling
shortly before noon.
The Presidential party will break camp
shortly before dark tomorrow. The
special train will leave here during the
night and arrive at Memphis about $3.50
Wednesday morning.

IT WANTS MORE POWER
PHILIPPINES COMMISSION DE-
SIREs GREATER AUTHORITY.
Report Will Also Recommend that
the Currency Of the Archipelago
Be Placed on
Gold Basis.

Washington Nov. 1.-THE report OF the
Philippine Commission will not reach
Washington for a month but synopsis
has been cabled to the War Department
for Secretary Root to use in his annual
report.
This brief abstract will not be made
public until the Secretary's report is pub
iished. 1t is known. however. that the
Commission will make strong recommen-
dations regarding the currency which is
at present in a deplorable state. The con-
tinued depreciation of the silver currency
until 1t is now $3.50 for 81 in gold, has
caused a great loss to the Philippine gov
eminent estimated at about $1,0 900 du-
ring the past six months. The Commits
sion believes that the currency should be
established on a gold basis as the only
safe and sure way In which the financial
affairs of, the islands can be put in Or
der. Governor Taft always has been in
favor of further tariff concessions In ia
for of the Philippines. and 1t Is believed
he has recommended a rate of rs per cent
of the present rate.
Governor Taft also has been in favor
of Q modification of Chinese exclusion
laws as applied to the Philippines and
believes that the Commission should be
allowed discretion in the matter of ad-
hitting Chinese labor. There is also rea-
son to belieev that the Commission thinks
greater latitude should be permitted in
the matter OF franchises as the grant OF
5000 acres to one concern Is not sufficient
to induce capital in large amounts to en-
gage in development
1t is not probable that Secretary Root
will make any inslstent recommendations
regarding the Philippines but will lay be-
fore Congress the report which 1t comes
with such approval as he thinks is neces-
sary at the present time.

IN STATE OF SIEGE.
caney, KY, in Throes Of an old
Fashioned Eetd

Fashioned Feud.
Caney, KY, Nov. l7.--This little town
is in a state of siege tonight on account
of a fight between the Frisbee and Mans
factions which has been going on at in
tervals for the last twenty-four hours.
Sunday the child Of Bob Frisbee was
buried in this county. Kelly and Bob
Mans and Gatu Howard, enemies of Sam
Frisbee and Frank and Al Aykdns were
at the cemetery and began raising a dis
turbance. Frisbea's friends protested. The
Mans boys walked outside the graveyard
and dared the Lykins boys to follow.
Frisbee and some friends started with the
Lykins boys for the hotel by another
route when the Mans began shooting.
The Frisbees covered their retreat with
revolvers and the Howard-Mara faction
fired at them at long range. One or two
spectators were slightly wounded and one
Of the Mans boys received bullet in his
shoulder. Frank Lykins was shot in the
abdomen. After reaching the house
Frisbee and his friends stationed them
selves at the windows and began firing
rapidly at their enemies when the
Howard-Mans factions retreated. An
hour later they returned. REINFORCED by
several friends and riddled the hotel with
bullets.
In the meantime Lylxins and Frisbee
had escaped to the mountains on horse
back to alarm the neighborhood. Both
sides are heavily armed. Frank Lykins
will die and Kelly Mans is dangerously
wounded. Both factions include men
prominent in the affairs of the county.
The town has no protection excepting
from the county officers who are power
less because of the standing Of the par
Elephants In the battle. No arrests have
been made an each hour 1t Is feared will
bring on a renewal of the encounter.

REPORT OF Mr.. MADDEN
ABUSE OF SECOND GLASS NAIL
! MATTER PRIVILEGE.
Says Legitimate Newspapers Could
Be Granted Free Transportation
If the Privilege Could Be
.. Properly Confined.

Washington, Nov. 17-Edwin c. Mad
den. third Assistant Postmaster General
In his annual report made public today
recommends the establishment. of the fol-
lowing postage rates: A new rate OF
I cents per pound for all publications now
admitted TO the second class mail except
daily. tri-weeixly, semi-weekiy and weekly
newspapers. in tthe general understood
sense of the word OF newspaper"
This rate Is to be paid on the bulk
weight without regard to the number OF
pieces.
The consolidation .of the third and
fourth classes Of mail matter and that
the postage thereon be at the rate Of one
cent for each two ounces or fraction
thereof. to be prepaid.
Congress also Is asked to authorize the
Postmaster General TO accept under suita-
BILE regulations mailing of large quantities
Of Identical pieces of printed matter and
small articles Of merchandise without the
necessity of affixing postage stamps to the
individual pieces.
The Recommendation for the four cents
o pound rate Is an outcome of the In
vestigation into the abuses Of the second
class mail privileges. Mr.. Madden said
that many of the cheaper class Of periodi-
calls would be given away If the law
would permit. The practice 1t Is said.
10 to maintain the fiction of suoscrip-
ton price and to give back Its equivalent
In q premium
MI. Madden says: mo one Will abuse
the benefit of genuine newspapers and
for this an absolutely free rate might
be granted II the privilege could be prop
erly confined. But l am constrained to
say that 1t is unjustihable to longer tax
the people for any part of the cost of dis
tribution In the mails Of any other class
of periodical publications"
Soncerning the public impression that
cent postage is probable in the near
future Mr.. Madden says 1t Is altogether
too soon to consider a reduction Of the
letter rate of postage on the mere basis
that the reforms in second class mail
matter Will save enough to the Govern
ment to compensate 1t on loss of revenue
through lowering of the letter rate. Had
the proposed cents per pound rate and
this anticipated rate Of cent per one
half ounce for letters existed during the
last fiscal year" Mr.. Madden says, 1.-The
result, based upon an estimate would have
been an aggregate estimated deficiency
Of $4,000, co.,"
Mr.. Madden says that nearly A.00o. 900
were expended during the year on account
of experimental rural free delivery and
that had 1t not been for this large ex-
penditure the postal service for the fiscal
year 1902 would have been self sustain
ing and would have had more than ST.
10000 to its credit.

A NORMANDY WEDDING
MISS CAMERON AND COMPANY
AT THE THEATRE,
A Delightful Comic Opera Was Care
fully Presented to an Enthu-
siastic Audience-The Star
Made O Speech.

Musicians OF Montgomery who failed
to attend the Montgomery Theatre last
night missed rare treat. for "A Nor
mandy Wedding" with Miss Grace Came
ron as the star, proved to be a meritori-
Gus comic opera. produced carefully and
with great deal Of snap.
The audience was not large. but 1t was
enthusiastic. Every bit Of the opera was
appreciated and the singers were reward
ed with numerous curtain calls. the eli
max coming when Miss Cameron was
compelled to make q graceful little
speech.
"A Normandy Wedding Is In three
acts. The book Is by Cheever Goodwin
and the music by William Furst. The
story is coherent. intelligent and inter-
esting. The music Is of the tuneful sort
the music one expects to hear when the
name of Furst stands sponsor.
Miss Cameron was in Montgomery last
season with Jerome Sykes in Foxy
CUTLER" and made many friends by her
winscmeness. vivacity and rich voice. She
possesses q combination of. qualities
which make for success In comic opera
good looks, a splendid voice, hstrionic
ability, nimble feet, and vivacity Of the
kind that pleases.
The part, Griolette, a Normandy goose
girl assigned to Miss Cameron In "A
Normandy Wedding" gives her ample OPP
portunity to make use Of these qualities.
and she delighted the audience. Her
Good Night song as a climax to the
first act, was tender and captivating. 1t
WIS an innovation in comic opera. in
that the curtain went down without an
ensemble, the invisible chorus giving the
scene a pleasing finesse.
In the second act, the trio, ''The Women
90 anA Aan hp
Cameron, assisted by Messrs, Standish and
Langlois was delightfully."- executed and
was repeatedly cncored. The Hi. Hi. HI
song of this act was a splendid aumber
and at the close of the FIRST act Miss
Cameron was several times called to the
footlights. Finally she made little
speech
IT thank you," she said laughing. for
your kind APPROVAL of the effort OF my
self and my company. l am almost
stranger to you, having been here but
once before. but hope that / will come
again and that we will be really good
friends"
The topical song, she Read the New
York Papers Every Day" was sung with
great dash by Miss Cameron in the third
act.
Miss Cameron's supporting company Is
excellent. Sylvan Langlois, who has been
here before, sang his numbers in fine bar
itone voice and Mr.. French as Muscadol
was very funny.
Miss Daisy King was pretty az Denise
and when she had an opportunity proved
that she had a voice Of range and sweet
ness.
The chorus was a revelation. It was
large, well trained and the voices were
better than those usually accompanying
comic opera companies.
The Musical Director. Mr.. Riley, was
painstaking and cannot be accorded too
much praise for the success which he has
wrought.
/ The scenic appurtenances were effective
and new and the costumes were accurate.
