EXTENSIVE RELIEF WORKS TO Be STARTED
n Cars Action Thought to Have
Been Prompted by the Steps TAX
en- I'm America to Relieve the Dis
tress I'm the iFamine-stricken
Distrfc cts.

st. Petersburg, Feb. 28.-The ear
has personally INTERVIEWED in behalf
of the ADMINISTRATION Firms and has
ordered that extensive relief works
be started without delay. Besides
the immediate construction of the
proposed Idensalmi-Kayana railroad,
which will cost 100000, he has sane
toned the expenditure of $500, 600 on
the Uleaborg-Tornea line, voted by
the senate but hitherto unapproved;
the raising of a So, 600, 900 loan for
other railroad constructions; the es-
t~ablishment of a bank with a capital
of 100000, which sum is to be used
in making loans to peasant farmers,
n has approved an appropriation of
$4,000 for public works, principally
the drainage of swamps. The Firms
attribute the cars action to the
steps taken in America to relieve the
distress existing in Finland and to
Ambassador McCormick's inquiries
on the subject. 1t is believed that
the proposed relief works will en-
ploy the majority of the able-bodied,
and that consequently the voluntary
committees responsibilities will be
lightened and the necessities of the
people will be supplied without out
side aid, which the Firms gratefully
accepted although they have never
solicited it.
Louis Klopsch, of New York, says
he will begin a tour of the famine
district shortly. He adds that he has
already forwarded $4,000 of the
American contributions to the relief
committees and that he will deliver
an additional 100000 at Helsingfors
Immediately. Mr. Klopsch also says
the American fund totals $4,000 and
he expects $4,000 more.

John F. Gallman, the young white
man who shot and killed Luke
Channell in the Gallman neighbor-
hood of Copiah county a few days
ago, is a former inmate of the Mis-
sissippi Insane Hospital and was
twice incarcerated at that institu-
ton for treatment. The attendants
and physicians state that he was at
times one of the most violent
charges in the hospital, and the news
that he is charged with murder ere
ated no surprise. The coroner's
jury which made an investigation of
the case returned a verdict of man
slaughter. Gallman was endeavoring
to kill a brother Of Luke Channel
when the latter was struck with two
bullets, causing instant death.

THE PROBE WILL GO IN DEEP

st. Louis, Feb. 2S.-Inquiry into the

houses, and who are believed to have
paid members of the police depart
mept for protection, has developed
startling disclosures.

tons made to the grand jury within
the last "a hours establish the facts
that helpless women have been made
to live dissolute lives, and that men
have then deprived them of their
earnings.
The very fact that this has occurred
and that no one has been prosecuted
will be made the basis for complaint
against police officers, from patrol
men up, for neglect of duty, if they
can not be implicated directly with
the actual offense.
The grand jury does not believe
that this thing could have continued,
as witnesses testify it has continued,
without gross neglect of duty or
actual %connivance of some members
of the police department.
1t IS intended that the matter shall
be probed to the very bottom, and
that no political influence shall i'm
pede the prosecution of anyone inn
plicated by the testimony of credible
witnesses.

The m Accused of Having
Sacked the Gunboat R~estaurador
In u Rufnous Manner.

New York, Feb. 28.-The Venezue-
Ian authorities at Puerto Cabello, says
the Caracas correspondent of the
Herald, after receiving the warship
R~esturador, which had been seized
by the blockading powers. have made
an official report regarding the trans
fer and condition of the vessel. This
report reads in part:
1.-THE Germans, before delivering
the Resturador, had sacked her in a
ruinous manner They carried off sill
verware, overs, curtains, electric
light globes, kitchen utensils and even
copper claps from the ships sides.
"The machinery was purposely left
out of order. 1t vas necessary to

hours in order to place the Restura'

tiles is false, and assert that the ship
was not robbed. On the contrary
they said that Germany had spent

and had left $50 tons coal on board
of her without asking a cent.

Oyster Controversy.

Hon. Monroe McClurg, ex-attor-
n%ey-general of the State, has COM
pleted the brief of the State Of Mis-
sissippi in the boundary dispute
now pending before the United
States Supreme Court over the oys-
ter fisheries in South Mississippi.
The State of Louisiana has filed a
complaint in the Supreme Court
questioning the jurisdiction Of the
State of Mississippi over certain
waters of the Mississippi Sound.
The contest over these waters has
been pending for years between the
local fishermen on the coast. Gen.
McClurg had charge of the matter
just before he went out of office and
came back to wind up the case. The
brief was sent on, and the case will
be submitted on brief, according to
agreement. The State of Louisiana
will have twenty days in which to
answer Gen. McClurg's brief, which
demurs to the bill of Louisiana, and
sets up that there is no real bound
airy dispute between the two States,
but simply a squabble between the
local fishermen. The demurrer also
contends that the State of Missis-
sippi has jurisdiction over all, OF
nearly all, of the territory in dis
pute. y

EXTRA SESSION PROBABLE.
President Likely to Call Senator'S
Back to Act IN Canal and
Cuban Reciprocity.

Washington, Feb. 2s.-The discus
sion at the cabinet meeting, Friday,
~revolved principally about pending
legislation in congress, Little hope
is felt among members of the cabinet
that the Cuban reciprocity and Pana-
ma canal treaties will be ratified by
the senate at the present session, and
each days delay in acting upon them
is increasing the probability of an X
traordinary session of the senate. So
far as can be ascertained the presi-
dent has not determined on any date
for the opening of the extra session
if one should be called, but it is re-
garded as likely that it will be prac-
tically right after the close of the
present session.

ARRESTED ON SUSPICION.
Garfield Snyder, Believed to Be the
clone Hishwnyman" of Denver,
Placed Under Arrest.

Denver, Col, Feb. 2S.-The police
have arrested Garfield Snyder, a local
young man % years old, on suspicion
of having operated as the lone high
wayman'' who has held up and
robbed a number of saloons in this
city recently. During one of these
holdups, on Tuesday night last, Off
Ger John Richie, who attempted to
capture the much-feared robber, was
shot and dangerously wounded by
him. Snyder, when confronted by
three detectives at his home, quietly
submitted to arrest. He has been
arrested before, it is said, and
charged with theft, and it is also
claimed has served time in the state
reformatory. The proprietor of the
saloon that was held up on Tuesday
and a friend of Ritchie's who was
with him at the time have both iden-
titled him as the robber. 1t is also
said that property taken from the
saloon was found in a trunk in Sny-
der'S room.

Determined Step Toward Pur-
flying the City.

ST. Louis, Feb. 2S.-Bench warrants
have been issued charging sever wom-
en- with unlawfully maintaining
houses of corruption. The grand jury
has thus taken another step toward
the wiping out of the notorious inn
moral section of the Fourth district
in this city.

Friday afternoon at 2:30. The
board of police commissioners met in
the board room at about the same
time. President Halves was closeted
with the grand jury for half an hour.
After coming from the o he an
nounced that Mr.. Folk had assured
him that the police department was
not under investigation. When it was
suggested that the natural trend of
the revelations would involve officers
for neglect of duty. he admitted that
such was possibly the fact.

report Monday, when the indictment
of several policemen is expected.

Joe Campbell's Accomplice.

Joe Campbell, the negro who was
to have been executed on the 18th
of February, at Yazoo City, but who
was reprieved by the governor at the
instance of a committee of citizens
who believe that an accomplice may
be convicted by his testimony, seems
to have impressed the people of
Yazoo and the officials of the truth
of his confession. Campbell admits
being a party to the killing of Bunk
Collins, and admits going to the
house with a shotgun for the pur-
pose, but he states also that another
negro went with him, and hat the
shot that killed Collins was fired by
the other man. Campbell had a
shotgun and the fatal shot was fired
from a revolver. He has repeatedly
told this tory since his conviction,
and says he would have told it in
court if he had been put on the
stand in his own defense.

of 1902, and the United States treas
whelmed with inquiries as to what
premium the government will pay in

The United States will not pay any
premium, and persons who have been
collecting them will have to get their
premiums from other more credulous
than themselves. The whole story is
