kin-Chau, Opposite New Chwang,
Manchuria, July S.-All the prominent
Russian officials in China, Manchuria
and Korea are attending the conference
at Port Arthur. Among them are Min
lister of War Kuropatkin, Admiral Alex
Jeff, the Russian ministers at Pekin
and Seoul, the political agents in China
and Korea, including NJ. Pokotilff re-
Gently Russian financial representative
at Pekin, General Dessino. the military
agent in China, the civil and military
officers at Mukden Harbln and Kirin
and the administrator of New Chwang.
The proceedings at the conference are
enveloped in profound secrecy. 1t is
popularity supposed that the Russian
officials are considering war questions
The foreign commercial officials at New
Chwang and Port Arthur believe that
the possibility of war is increasing
steadily. The Russian policy is believ-
ed 10 be to hold the present positions
In Manchuria including New Chwang
and to take no steps to avert hostility
with Japan if it is assured that Japan
will fight unaided. The war feeling
among the Japanese in North China is
intensifying.
The Russian civil administrator, with
the governor general Of New Chwang,
has commenced the erection of govern
ment buildings designed to hold all
Russian offices, including the telegra ph
and telephone departments, in the CEN
ter of the foreign settlement, partly on
land, ceded by the Chinese, according
to the Russian explanation, and partly
on the public square, about which the
foreign cOnsulates are congregated. The
residents of other natiOnalities are pre-
pairing to protest against this encroach-
ment on the public square
A Russian company completed the
purchase of the river steam tug busi-
ness heretofore controlled by a British
company. This is regarded as an i'm
portant step towards Russian contro
of the harbor.

who since the operation IN 1899 has Wis
tied the pontiff occasionally, replacing
DR.. Lapponi during his illness with ap-
pendictis.
ION Sunday Dr. Mazzoni went to the
vatican and examined the patient with
DR.. Lapponi, confirming the latter's di-
agnosis, viz:
An infiammatory process in the lung,
which was defined in the medical bull
letin as pulmonary hepatization. The
original treatment was continued, con-
sisting of supporting the strength of
the heart and the general condition Of
the patient.
NO noticea BILE change was observed
until Monday evening. 1t was then
found that the lowest part of the right
of the thorax, which previously was
pervous to respira ton, had become i'm
perviOuS, affecting the function of the
lung. The presence of liquid was sus-
pected. The pontiff spent an agitated
and sleeplesS night.
On Tuesday many symptoms confirm
ed the presence of liquid. It's increase
was considered to account for the pope's
general condition growing worse. Af-
ter a test puncture, 800 grammes of
bloody liquid was extra cted. The con-
dition of the patient improved immedi-
ately, reviving hopes, slight in some
persons and exaggerated in others.
The amelioration in the condition of
the patient was not continued during
Wednesday. Indeed, depression gain
ed the upper hand"
Rome, July 9.-5:25 a. m.-The pope is
asleep. The condition of his lungs is
not worse. There is as yet no suspi-
ct0n of serum gathering again in the
pleura, but the disorder of his kid
neys is disquetIng.
During the early part of the night
his holiness was somewhat restless. The
occasional brief periods of sleep were
disturbed by difficulty IN breathing. DR..
Lapponi and Po"e Leos valet Pho Cen
ira did their best to nourish the pa
tient at brief intervals The pontiff
spoke little and seemed much depress-
ed. Choral and caffeine were admin
istered with good effect. About sun
rise the pontiff fell into more restora-

FOR REPRESENTATIVE.

The Progress is authorized by Fl
Stuart Stevens to announce him as
candidate for representative from this
county in the next legislature. Mr..
Stevens is a splendid man, reared in
the county and fully understands the
needs Of the people. He is highly
educated, fine speaker, and should
he go to the legislature from this
county he would WELD a powerful
influence in that body and would be
the means of doing the county much
good.
He is the son of Captain Stevens of
Augusta, 80 years old and very few
young men have accomplished more
in so few years.
He was educated at Centenary,
Millsaps, and our state university,
having captured first honors in the
literary department at Millsaps in its
first graduating class of 1896, besides
bringing away from there two scholar
ship metals and two for oratory. He
also graduated in law at the university
in 1897 with first honors. He located
here in 1898 where he enjoys the con.
lidence and esteem Of the best business

Mr.. Morris claims self defense, but
all this will come out at the trial. It

Mr.. Vaudeville will die from the

the result will be.

SHOOTING YESTERDAY.
Muldville Badly Wounded Man
Morris Still in the County
Jail,

That was very unfortunate affair
that occurred yesterday-the shooting
of Vaudeville by Pete Morris. The
Progress had only time to make a
mere mention of the fact that the
shooting occurred. A reporter of the
Progress tried to get statement from
Mr.. Morris, but he absolutely refused
to talk for publication, saying that
he thought it better not to say any
thing until he had consulted with a
lawyer. Apparently Mr. Morris is a
nice young man and seems to be
known by several Hattiesburg people
who speak well of him.
Not much is known of Mr.. Mulde-
vile, who is from Natchez or Vicks-
burg. But he is a badly wounded
man. Last night an operation was
performed on him at the Gulf and
Ship Island inirmary where he was
carried as soon as he was shot.
Morris was arrested as soon as the
shooting occurred and placed in iail
where he will remain until the con-
dltion of the wounded man improves
or grows worst.
