GOVERNOR STANDS BY
 INTENTION TO BORROW.

Gov. Davis reiterates the statement that he will not call special session of the legislature to provide funds for the running of the Deaf Mute lnsti- ute, but will borrow the money from a banker who has promised to advance it. In the meantime, however, it is probable that mandamus proceedings will be instituted to compel the auditor to issue the warrants and the treasur- CT to pay them, and this will bring the issue before the Supreme Court, all though decision can not be had from that tribunal before November. The mandamus proceedings will probably come before Judge Winfield of Pulaski Circuit Court when it convenes again on August 17. State Treasurer Tipton says:
 "I am of the opinion that the de- cision of-the Supreme Court on the ex- Confederate roster bill settled the status of the bills that were delivered to the governor on the 22d day of May, 1903. As the Deaf Mute bill was among the number presented at that time, think it failed, as did all the others. am very sorry that such is the case, because it will deprive the Deaf Mute children of the State of the means of support and education for the coming two years, which will be nothing less than calamity. If the Deaf Mute bill has failed there is no appropriation for the support of that school for the next two years, and no indemnifying bond, however good, would be legal. I do not think an in- demnifying bond, to secure me i'll the paying out money for the support of Deaf Mute School, for the next two years, could be made binding on the bondsmen, from the fact it is made to secure me in the performance of an illegal act-the paying of warrants without an appropriation.
 1T have been anxious that the in terested parties would test the matter in the courts. A decision of the 5u- preme Court would brush all the doubts away"

After passing upon the new petition of the property owners affected, for the making of Front Street Inn provement district, the council at a meeting Monday night elected J. M. Stayton to the place of o. D. Watson upon this commission. The other members of the old board, G. w. Hurley and A. D. Bailey were re- elected
 The mayor and all members of the council were present at this meeting, to whom the petition of the property owners embraced in the new Front Street district was read By vote of the council, the mayor was authorized to appoint a committee of two to ex- anime the petition. Aldermen Bailey and Wilmans were assigned to this duty and immediately presented a resolution, embodying their report and recommending as a commission rhe names of c. w. Hurley, A. D. Bailey and J. M. Stayton. The report reviewed the steps taken toward the establishment of Improve ment District No. and found that upon comparison of the property rep resented upon the petition with the assessed values of all the property in the district, the petition contained a majority in value of the owners of real property within such district. The resolution met with unanimous adoption by the council.
 The petition contained the sigma lures of owners of property to the value of $95, 1850 out of total assess ment for the district of $10S, 1850, thus affording $41, ,674 in excess of neces- sary majority required by the law The committee appointed to examine the petition, held that $25,000 would be fair and conservative estimate of the valuation of the railroad park property, which has never been as- sessed.
 The resignation of Ed Phillips was accepted as member of the board of public health and Dr. G. K. Stephens was appointed to this vacancy by Mayor Grubbs.
 The marshal was ordered to close Third street between Walnut and Main while the court house tower was being removed.
 An ordinance was ordered drafted requiring the telegraph and electric light companies to remove all poles in the way of paving Front street.
 The minutes of July 20 and August 3 and were read, and all approved ac- counts were allowed, after which the council adjourned.

TRACING JUG OF WHISKY.

Texarkana, Aug. 10.-The jug of alleged poisoned whisky that was shipped from Lere to El Dorado dur ing the past week was sent by an un- known party who gave his name as J. L. Worsham. The express company people here say he looked like a tramp, but that this was probably a shrewd way the fellow had of dis guising himself. In fact the express company employees, since their atten- ton was called to the importance of the case, say that the appearance of the fellow was such as to, lead to the belief that he was made up.

TUCKER REMOVED
 FROM FL DORADO.
Parnelps Slayer Taken to Camden On Special Train-M Militia Still Doing Duty Though Town Has Be-
 come Quiet.

Fl Dorado, Aug. 1O.-Guy B. Tucker, the city marshal, who shot and killed John 0. Parnell Saturday, was taken on special train this morning to Camden, at which place, it is reported he will make application for bail. Tucker had been kept in the court house under guard of the militia until this morning.
 The military company is still doing duty, but everything is quiet It is thought the militia will be relieved from duty as soon as Sheriff Pendleton returns. He will probably do so to- morrow.
 Tucker claims that Parnell was try ing to get pistol out from under his vest and that he was too quick for Parnell. Either one of the shots that struck Parnell was death dealing. It is claimed that Parnell had a Smith & Wesson ''gun.n After the three shots had been fired Tucker ran across the street to the court house yard, where he gave himself up. He was placed in jail, but when the military company went on guard he was removed to the court house.
 On account of the strained relations existing between the parties there were some fears that mob would come into town, but since Tucker has been taken to Camden the situa- tion has become more satisfactory and the town seems quiet.

He Has Not asked Any One to Take
Hannd's Place.
TFRON, rHr TRrRUNE BUnUAu. !

Washington Dec 3O-The publication OF
numerous unfounded reports TO the effect that
the President has requested different prominent
politicians to accept the Craftsmanship OF the
Republican National Committee led the Presi-
dent TO make q sweeping Genial OF ali such re-
ports to-day 1t is announced that the Pres-
dent has expressed TO Senator Hanna the hope
that his health will enable him 20 retain his
present place at the head of the National Com
mittee and that Senator Hanna has reached no
decision in the matter. Especial emphasis is
laid on the statement that the President has not
invited the Secretary of War or Ex-Governor
Crane OF Massachusetts to accept the place.
The facts in the National Committee situation
We're fully. though briefly. covered in these dis
patches of December II. 1t then said that
Senator Hanna assumed what he regarded as
the only consistent attitude with regard TO the
craftsmanship of the National Committee. name
~ that until the convention had met ara
candidate had been formally nominated there
could be no one empowered 20 offer him the
Craftsmanship. The Senator pointed out that
this had been his position prior 10 the second
nomination of President Mckinley. although
there was. of course not-the slightest doubt that
Mr.. Mckinley would receive the nomination
The Ohio Senator maintains thar under these
circumstances he cannot formally accept or
decline position which ,-unot POSSIBLY for the
present be rendered TO him.
As has been aIre-dy said in these dispatches
Senator Hanna's health is such that it would
be almost impossible for him TO render denIille
decision thus far in advance. under any c1Tcum-
stances. and he has expressed 10 his intimate
friends grave doubt as 10 his ability 10 perform
the arduous duties which must devolve on the
national chairman next year on the otnef
hand there are many Of the Senator's friends
who believe tn enthusiastic convention ana

like an old war horse. nothing would keep MIN
out of the battle
Senator Hanna'= friends maintain that ne
has already gained the reputation or eIect1ng
two Republican Presidents, and that, with the
prospect OF adding more 10 his laurel
wreaths, nothing hut the most grave condition
of health could restrain him from taking pos
session OF the drivers seat ON the Republican
band wagon Under the circumstances, the
President is hardly likely TO offer the chairman
