BACK TO THE SENATE
GOES NAME OF CRUM.
Again Roosevelt Asks for the Ne
grO-s Confirmation.

by h. M. 'LdIUeT.
Washington, March 5.-The name of
w. D. Crum. to be collector of the
port of Charleston, heads the list of
presidential nominations sent to the
Senate to-day. The retirement of John
P. Jones of Nevada, one of the two
Republicans who voted in committee
to report the Crum nomination ad-
versely in the Congress just closed,
leaves the Commerce Committee a tie.
The appointment of another Republi-
can on the committee will probably
result in favorable report in favor of
Crum.
There is no reason to believe that
Republican senators, if a roll call Is
ordered, will vote against Crum's con-
tirmation, hence, the opposition to
Crum will continue the tactics of de-
lay, followed in the previous session.
Senators Tillman and Clay, who are
in close touch with the situation. will
have no difficulty in preventing action
upon the nomination as long as the
special session lasts.
There is a theory. inspired by some
one at the White House, that the
President is Indifferent as to the fate
of Crum, and for that reason he sent
the name in again, hoping that it
would he disposed of during the pres
emit session. so that the way might be
clear for him to make some ether Sc
lection. Those who have talked with
the President on the subject do not
obtain such an impression. The Pres
ident knows that the Republican SEN
ators dare not go on record against
Crum, simply on account of his color.
Hopes for Vote.
Washington, March 5.-The Presi
dent sent to the Senate to-day the
nomination of w. d. Crum, colored, to
be collector of the port of Charleston,
S. C. This is the second nomination of
Crum, the Senate, at the session just
closed, having failed. to confirm him.
The nomination of Crum was re-
ported adversely by the Senate Com
merce Committee OF the Fifty-seventh
Congress. His denomination will be
referred to the same committee, but
owing to changes in the personnel of
the committee, the President expects a
favorable report upon it.
It is said to be the Presidents inten-
ton not to exercise special influence
to secure favorable action on the nom
nation. In the event of it's rejection
by the Senate it is unlikely that the
appointment will be renewed. 1t is the
desire of the President to have a vote
on the nomination. He thinks the APP
pointee is entitled to that.

ROOSEVELT COMMENDS
CANAL AND CUBA.
He Sends "A Brief Message to the
New Senate.

He Sends Brief Message to the
New Senate.
Washington, March 5.-President
Roosevelt sent the following message
to the Senate:
ITO the Senate: I have called the
Senate in extraordinary session to con-
slider the treaties concerning which it
proved impossible to take action dur
ing the session of Congress just end
ed. I ask your special attention to the
treaty with the republic of Colombia
securing to the United States the right
to build an isthmian canal, and to
the treaty with the republic of Cuba,
for securing a measure of commercial
reciprocity between the two countries.
THE great and far-reaching impor-
lance of these two treaties to the well
fare of the United States and the
urgent need for their adoption requires
me to impose upon you the incon-
venience of meeting at this time.
~ Theodore Roosevelt.

ASHES FLOAT HIGH
FROM THE VOLCANO.
People Believe They Can Flee to
Safety If Necessary.

Safety If Necessary.
Colima. Mex, March 5.-The volcano
continues active. new eruption TAX
ing place last evening.
The charcoal burners near Tuxpam
left their work and astened to town.
A feeling of uneasiness still exists,
though no real terror prevails, the
people being confident that if any vio-
lent demonstration takes place, they
can easily flee to places of safety.
An eruption this afternoon was ac-
companied by the usual shower of
ashes, which were thrown high into
the air, but soon drifted to the ground
again. The discharge of ashes cast
hazy cloud throughout the atmos-
phere, shutting out the sunlight and
condensing over the mouth of the
crater into pail, through the crest
of which rose for thousands of feet
into the air a pillar of sulphurous
cloud bearing charge of ashes, which
soon began to fall in minute particles,
and, carried by the wind, were waited
over the surrounding country for miles
about.
The showers of ashes continue near
Uruapam, some times being so dense
that one cannot distinguish objects 100
feet away.

CONTRAST PRESENTED
IN NATIONS EXPENSES.
Cannon and Livingston Make Their
Respective Party ShOwinEs.

Washington, March 5.-Statements
prepared by Representative Cannon,
chairman of the House Committee on
Appropriations, and Representative
Livingston, the ranking Democratic
member of the committee, relative to
the appropriations made by the Fifty
seventh Congress, together with COM
parative tables, were made public to-
day
Mr.. Cannon:
THE Republican administration of
our government, the dominion of Re-
publican policies in both branches oil
Congress. since 1897. has given us a
system of taxation that has produced
a national treasury richer than was
ever enjoyed by any nation of the earth
and rendered possible these great ex-
penditures for the public welfare"
Mr.. Livingston compared the appro-
priations made by the Fffty-third Con-
gress, both branches of which were con-
trolled by the Democrats, amounting to
1899, 2S9. 205, with the appropriations OF
the Fifty-seVenth Congress- Aggregate
ing $1,554, 10S,514, and comments on the
difference as affecting some of the big
items. In conclusion he says:
Nothing short of a revision of the
tariff on a revenue basis and the ad-
ministration of the government under
the wise and prudent methods or the
Democratic party can be looked to to
bring about a reduction in the national
expenditures exhibited by these figures
in such appalling proportions.

BULLS RALLIED AND
BOUGHT BOLDLY.
Struggle for Supremacy in the Cot
ton Market Is Hot.

StEhSElG supremacy IN the wv
ton Market lis Hot.
New York, March 5.-There was an
active and excited opening in cotton
to-day. Apparently having rallied
their forces overnight, the bull clique
gave such a vigorous support that
prices shot up to IL points immediate
ly following the call, holding very
strong for fifteen minutes, when scat
tered realizing caused a setback to
9,S0c for May and 9.5Sc for July. Cover
ing was on a heavy scale. There was
also considerable buying from room
traders.
Business at the opening was attend
ed by considerable excitement. There
was very large attendance of brok-
ers. and the gallery was crowded
with onlookers. The fluctuations in
the Liverpool market added to the
confusion here.
After the first half hour of the ses-
sion the bears became more agrees
sive and sold along the line. May was
forced down to 976c and July to 9.55c.
This attack of the bear faction was
something of a surprise and disap-
pointment to outsiders because of the
strong bull support given at the OPEN
ing.
During the greater part of the af-
ternoon the market was without special
feature. but in the last half-hour the
bull side renewed its aggressive tao
tics and stood well under the attacks
of the shorts. Most of the active OPP
tons were well supported, and, ac-
cording to reports, under the leader
ship of bull clique.
The closing was steady at prices
about the best of the day and material

Jeffcoats had a career of crime in
East Georgia and in South Carolina
that made his name notorious through
out the two states. Large rewards
were offered, and these proved incen-
tives for his capture that led Off
GERS of the law to expend greater ef-
forts and risk greater danger than
they usually meet in the apprehension
of ordinary criminals.
Crime after crime was committed by
Jeffcoats. First he would operate in
Georgia and then in South Carolina,
and after each of his thefts or muir
ders there would be an additional re-
ward offered. This kept the officers
on the alert, and more than once they
narrowly missed capturing the desper-
ado.
Once he put up desperate fight in
a South Carolina town while resisting
arrest, and the officer who thought he
would effect the capture of the des-
perado got no better than a bullet hole.
For some months nothing had been
heard from Jeffcoats, and it was not
known what parts he had sought
There had been no news of his having
been located, and this of his death will
be received with interest.
