MINISTER OF COMMERCE.
Movement on Foot to Change System
OF English Consular Service.

New York, Feb. "A matter which
Is now engaging the earnest atten-
ton of the British board of trade,
says the Tribune's London correspon-
dent, is the question of improving the
consular service and the system under
which British commercial attaches and
agents are appointed to foreign coun-
tries.
This is understood to be the first
move in an attempt to bring the coun-
try's public system relating to trade
and commerce more in accord with
the wishes and interests of business
men generally. Evidently the cry for
a minister of commerce is beginning
to bear fruit.

THAT BLOW AT BISMARCK.
Judge Wood Makes a Statement in Answer to the Version Given by Governor Davis Says
 Jeff Lied.
To the Commeroial Appeal:

To the Commercial Appeal:
 have just read the letter of Gov. Davis, giving his version of the diffi- culty at Bismarck. The letter bears the impress of falsehood on it's face. He says he had just asked me certain questions and then says in the same breath in the next sentence, "And while was sitting and paying no at tention to what he did he rushed upon me and showed me-" etc. The truth is, had answered his question, and he was disputing my word, and told him not to do that, pointing my finger at him. was standing close to him and he said, "Don't point your finger in my face'' and told me to get further away from him. He started at this juncture to rise from his chair and struck at his nose and he dodged back and think my blow landed on his breast, don't know just where. At any rate, he tumbled off of the plat form, and immediately we were both surrounded by our respective friends.
 The statement that he was "pinning me down on the facts too strong to be comfortable" if true gives the lie to the other statement just made by him above ''that he was sitting paying no attention to what l did.n The truth is, he was looking right at me, dis putting the answer I had deigned to make him, because the answer was 1 the truth But the truth did not suit him, and it never does. He is a stranger to it, as the people of Ark ansas have long since found out. regret the necessity for knocking him from the platform, but I do not be- lieve that any sclf-respecting gentle man will censure me for doing what l did under the circumstances. If the good people of Arkansas expect me 1 to take the insults of even Jeff Davis without resentment they will be dis appointed. However, I may not further bother the public with these matters. I should regret exceedingly to involve any of my friends or Gov. Davis' friends in a difficulty, but the proprieties of debate should be ob- served and then there would never be any Hanger. No gentleman wants to take an insult and I will not. Re- spectfully, c. D. WooD.
 P. S.-The statement that was ar rested and fined before justice of the peace is absolutely false, no matter by whom made 0. D. WooD.

 Taken From Their Shoes.

Jonesboro, Aug. 29. Six negro prisoners broke out of the county jail at o'clock this morning and made their escape. The escape was discov- cred shortly after it occurred by Jailer Stamper.
 The prisoners, by means of files and saws manufactured from the steel springs taken from their shoes, had cut the bars of the cage. They then escaped from the building by making a hole in the brick wall No watch was kept at the jail, but the jailer found all safe an hour before the de- livery.
 Those who escaped were Arch Scott, under sentence of death for killing his mother-in- law in Mississippi county, and whose case is pending in the su- preme court; Henry Smith, assault; Wm. Fox, Wm. Stout and Dink Tay- Tor, burglary.
 One negro was too large to get through the hole in the wall and was left behind. There were six other prisoners, whites, in the front cage, who knew nothing of the escape until this morning.
