CULLOM MAKES A BREAK.
A Joke ON the Illinois senator
which was Enjoyed by His
Fellow senators.

Washington, March 10.--Soon after
the senate met Tuesday Mr. Cullom,
chairman of the committee on for

of the committee in passing resolu-
tion calling on the secretary of state
for the copy, in Spanish, of the Pan
anna canal treaty. II have it" said
he, ''and think it proper to present
It. think it is the original treaty
signed by the parties in Spanish"
Mr.. Cullom had overlooked the fact
that the senate was in legislative ses-
sion. and was proceeding to discuss
the document when Mr.. Allison moved
an executive session. During the last
congress Mr.. Cullom was very careful
TO see that the treaty was not dis
cussed except in executive session,
and he showed signs of embarrass-
ment as he promptly acquiesced in
the motion to close theAdoors, which
was done eight minutes after conven-
ing. The other senators enjoyed the

who will be held here pending their
trial in Franklin county.
A Cleveland dispatch said that they
passed through there safely early
Tuesday morning without having
made any attempt to escape. The
heavy guard about them has effectu-
ally prevented any move in the di-
rection of making trouble.
~nained leg to leg the two men
have been under constant watch by
two men sitting opposite them. These
men are not armed, the purpose being
TO prevent the bandits from grabbing
a pistol.
Back of the two guards have stood
constantly two other men who are
armed, and heavily.
Realizing the chances against them
the two men have sat quiet since leay-
ing Springfield.
Except for asking for an occasional
cigarette Rudolph has been very
quiet. He has sat still looking at his
guards with the saturnine stare that
was his notable characteristic in the
Hartford jail.
Collins, since he has been beside
Rudolph, has said nothing, but be
fore he was fastened to his partner
he told Sheriff Bruch for the first
time how the two men escaped from
Union and the posses that were chas

DETAINED AT QUARANTINE.


New York, March 1O.--The Anchor
liner Karamania, from Marseilles,
Palermo and Naples, was detained at
quarantine, Tuesday, because some of
the crew and passengers died under
peculiar circumstances on the voyage.
Six died in all, two of the crew and
four steerage passengers. All were
taken with the same symptoms,
cramps, nausea and collapse. 1t is
thought they were poisoned by some
noxious gases emanating from the
cargo. On February while the Ka-
ramania was steaming from Mar
seilles for Palermo, four of the crew
were suddenly taken i'll with nausea
and spasms. Two died, one recovered
and the other was sent ashore to the
hospital, where the doctor said the
men were poisoned. Two days after
sailing from Naples another sailor
who slept in the room in which the
others were taken i'll, was found in a
stupor When revived he said he had
felt the same symptoms, Others IN
the same room fen ill, ran to the deck
and soon recovered. The compart-
ment was then stripped, disinfected
and closed. February 27 passen-
ger was sent to the hospital suffering
from stomach trouble, and on March
/ two other passengers were stricken
suddenly and died within few hours.
The next day, March 2, the passenger
in the hospital died and another pas
senger was found dead in his bunk.
All the dead passengers had occupied
adjoining hunks in No. ! steerage.
They were buried at sea.

Few Plants Killed.

Serious apprehension has been felt
as to the effect the recent freezes
would have upon the young tomato
plants that were being nursed by
members of the Monroe County Hor-
tlcultural Association. Secretary H.
Z. Reynolds reports that while a few
plants that were not properly pro-
tected were killed, the largest part
were in no way injured, and nearly
all the truckers are now transplant
ing to the cold frames, with indica-
tons so far of good success. The
plants killed were readily replaced
from the State Agricultural and
Mechanical College at light expense
and no delay. For the next season
the association will greatly enlarge
its operations and will cultivate nu-
merous other crops for early and
extensive shipments.

Nerro Hlre caused strlke.

| A strike occurred in the Illinois
Central freight yards at Jackson last
week, the engineers and switchmen
refusing to work unless the negro
foremen were removed. For several
weeks past there has been friction
between the engineers and switch
men, and Yardmaster Sullivan, the
latter having supplanted the white
engine foremen with negroes, and
the situation reached an acute point
last week when the employees refused
to work any longer unless the ne
groes were removed. The matter
was taken to the high officials of the
company, and Assistant General Su-
perintendent Dunn came to the city
to make an investigation, the result
of which was a promise that in the
future only white foremen will have
charge of the engines, and thus the
trouble was brought to an end.

Mississippi State News
Mormon Agitation.

After a temporary eclipse of about
4wo wears the Mormon elder has
srain become a disturbing factor in
ne rural communities of Mississip-
nj. In many communities where
theological differences are still hotly
maintained the citizens are begin
ning TO murmur against the mild
teachings of the apostles, and it
would not be surprising if the elders
should find themselves run out of
the country as a consequence. They
have appeared in full force in the
Murphreesboro district of Talla-
batchie county, and, it seems, have
von several converts. The people
object seriously to the establishment
in their midst of a Mormon commu-
nity, which they think would be fol-
lowed bv the demoralizing example
Of secret polygamy and general cor
ruption Of morals. The elders, as a
rule. are smooth-spoken and plausi-
Bile preachers whose public discourses
seem to betoken nothing except an
overwhelming zeal to spread their
Interpretation of the Scriptures.
They profess to carry into practice
on all occasions the doctrine of turn
ing the other cheek to the smiter and
of disarming opposition by lack of
resistance. From present indica-
tions and the tone Of the people in
a good many country communities
there will soon be new opportunities
for applying the doctrine in prac-
tice.
