FIGHTING IN THE PROVINCES
Expulsion of Religious Orders Cre-
atcs Trouble of "a Serious Ma
ture In France.

Paris, April 2S.--Crowds are making
demonstrations at different points
over the dispersal of the congrega-
tions. The latest dispatches from the
provinces indicate that the trouble
is becoming more serious. Monday
afternoon the disturbance at Mar
seilles around the Capuchian convent
broke out with much violence owing
TO the attempt of a party of 0blate
fathers to visit the convent in which
the Capuchians had barricaded them
selves, refusing admission to the Off
cials. The sight of the visitors
aroused the anger of the enemies of
the congregations and an attack was
made. Clericals hastened 10 the as
sistance of the fathers and a pitched
battle between the two parties fol-
lowed. Sticks and stones were used
freely, and injuries were inflicted up
on many persons, among whom were
two women, while onlookers from
windows Joined in the fray by throw
ing all kinds of missiles. The police
finally rescued the 0blate fathers and
the fighting ceased. A crowd of 5000
persons, however, remained in the
neighborhood of the convent, express
ing itself for and against the monks
until dark.

RUSSIA AND MANcHURIA.
A Less Radical View of the sitaa-
tiOR seems 60 Prevail ~ the
French Capital.

Paris, April 2s.-The foreign Office
has received lengthy advices from
Washington regarding the feeling in
the United States over the steps taxi
en- by Russia In connection with
Manehuria. The dispatches show that
the American government does not
intend to join the powers in oppon.
ing the Russian demands, but that
the United States viii confine It's ac-
tion to safeguarding It's own com.
mercial interests The assurances
have created strongly favorable
feeling here. The advices also state
that Ambassador Mccormick, at ST.
Petersburg. has been instructed to
forward information on the subject
TO Washington. The officials here say
this win probably disclose that Rus
sia's action has been less radical than
appeared at first.
The view prevails that the powers
having political antagonisms toward
Russia are responsible for the pres
ent agitation. II is stated that Rus
sia's demands do not mean termina-
ton of the open door policy, but only
continuance, under Russian admin
istration, of similar restrictions
now imposed by China.
In government quarters unmistaka'
BILE sympathy with the Russian atti-
tude is shown. 1t Is claimed that
Russian interests in Manchuria and
its proximity to Siberia entitle Rus
sia to take supervisory steps.

John Gallman, who has been
placed in the insane asylum at jack
son, by order of the Circuit Court of
Copiah county, figured quite sensa-
tionally in the courts Of Copiah
about three years ago. Gallman
was recently adjudged insane in a
trial for murder in Copiah. Three
years ago Gallman had some trouble
in the county and warrants were is
sued for his arrest. For several
days deputies attempted to arrest
him, but Gallman sat on his front
gallery with a Winchester and defed
the officers. 1t was either let him
alone or kill him and the officers de-
elded to let him alone and employ
strategy. Gallman was finally taken
and was brought to Jackson to be ex-
amlned by an expert as to his SAN
ity. There appeared to be nothing
seriously wrong at the time. His
conduct was found to be the result
Of a temporary alteration and Gall
man was allowed to 60 home after a

Mississippi State News
Unprecedented Weather.

Mississippi is experiencing the
..o.t remarkable weather expert
snceS since the weather bureau COM
mpneed making official records of
interpolation, temperature, etc, thhir-
ty-two years ago.
April has been devoid of rainfall.
A state Of drouth now exists and is
causing widespread injury to all
farming interests.
With the exception of a few scat
tering showers in the extreme north
ern part of the State, and which
we're of no appreciable benefit to the
growing crops, Mississippi has not
Ind a rain for thirty-three days.
There has not been marked precip-
itation since the 21st of March, on
which date the entire southern part
Of the State experienced heavy
thunderstorm.
An April without showers and
thunderstorms is unprecedented.
The records show that the rainfall
during this month for the past thir-
ty-two years has always amounted to
one and one-half inches or more, and
often the precipitation recorded was
as high as five inches.
The low register of temperature is
also quite unusual. Last week at
Jackson the minimum shown on the
government thermometer was thirty
eight degrees, and the weather has
been continually cool for the past
ten days, often necessitating fires
and light overcoats.
Adyices from the rural districts
are to the effect that corn planted
one month ago has not yet sprouted,
and the process Of termination will
be impossible without moisture. The
eoolness Of temperature is also re-
tarding the growth Of vegetation,
and all crops will be several weeks
late, even if the most favorable
weather prevails next month.
