 ING LIST OF SOLDIERS.
Every Southern State Has Rendered ofncial Assistance With the Ex- z ception of Arkansas--Work
 Proceeding Satisfactorily.

Washington. June so-<speciaL) )--The compilation of the muster rolls of Con- federate soldiers to be published as . supplementary work to the Records of the Rebellion" Is progressing satisfac- torily in the records and pension division of the War Department.
 General Fred c. Ainsworth. h charge of the work. said today that the Depart ment had been materially aided by the active cooperation of surviving soldiers and there has not been . note of discord In any quarter. There are some who seek to give records from memory, but this would never do. in the opifaion of the De- partment, as 1t would open the door to great confusion and endless revisions. Consequently only the records are to be handled by she government compiiers. Where they are furnished the Depart ment they arc copied and promptly re- turned to the senders. X
 Every Southern State that furnished soldiers to the Confederacy has, through its Governor or other State officer,' en- tered heartily into the work. except the Governor of Arkansas, who has never even acknowledged the letter of Score tary of Oar, which he wrote to all the Governors asking for co-operations. The others had responded promptly and prom ised cordial cooperation.
 General Ainsworth said the condition oS the records coming to hand from Ala. bama were gratifying because of the in tellixent assistance rendered by the stata

JOE CANNON SAYS NAYICOTTON SUPPLY SHORT
REPORT WILL DISCLOSE AN IN-

Fears Entertained by the Agricul- tural Department That the South''s Production Will
 Show . Steady Decline.

Washington, June Special. )--Grave fears are entertained at the Agricultural Department that the cotton production oi the South will steadily decline in the face of growing demands at home and abroad and opportunities increase for corner ing the supply.
 Chief Entomologist l.. O. Howard of the Department. has just returned from a visit to Texas, with diseouraging re- ports of the cotton outlook there, ewing to the heavy encroachments and grow ing peril of the boil weevil.
 Friday the monthly cotton report will be issued by Chief Statistician Hyde and 1t is expected to show some remarkable figures casting light upon the present strained condition in the supply and de- mand causing the mills and looms of England to close and raising prices be- ports from reliable authorities In New Orleans likewise show that there is a remarkable decrease in the visible sup ply of cotton.
 According to the visible supply state- ment up to June %, the total In America is only l,19l, ,694 bales. against 1.650.0S3 bales the corresponding period last year. I his Is regarded as inexplicaple in view of cotton production and tlka increased de- mand from both at home Vand abroad. It is not improbable that tl{is decrease in visible supply may be explained hy the operations vf the bull factioN on tfe New Orleans Cotton Exchange. It Is admit ted by the Agricultural Department off, cials that the time has come Cor She Government to take some action to pre- vent 8 general decrease in the cotten supply. R. H. Watkins.

OPPOSES ALDRIcH ALLISON
 sPooNER MONEY BILL
Next Speaker of the House of Repre- sentatives Will Fight the MsaS- ure and the Two Branches
 will Clash.

washington, June 3O.-while Senators Aidrfch. Allison and Spooner have been iaboring arduously ever since the close of the Fifty-seventh Congress on finan- ciai measure to be proposed immediately at the beginning of the Fifty-eighth Con- Rress and while they have recently been congratulating themselves that their bill. having received the approval Of prominent men of the Eastern money centers, will have easy going, they are all at once confronted by most serious obstacle.
 It is no less than the avowed opposi- ton of the next speaker of the House Representative Joe Cannon or Illinois He has been here some days and he mas declared himself in unnistakable terms aeainst any financial legislation by the next Congress which he says is demand~ ed only by Wall Street, He insists that there Is no legitimate pressure for more money or for an elastic currency; that the banks of the South and West have abundant reserves with Eastern banks which the latter are using to manipu- late the markets.
 This is the most important and sensa- tfonal turn of affairs bearing upon leg isiation by the next Congress since March 4th. It not only means Una. Cannon can make good his position but if is ominous of strife between the two houses. Soon after the Hot Springs, Va. conference, when the new Aldrich pil was practically completed and submit ted to the financial experts most con cerned, as well as the administrator leaders, President Roosevelt and the secretary of the treasury gave to the measure their unqualified approval. Tte positive attitude and emphatic deciara- tion of the Illinois representative IS looked upon as morally certain to make trouble for the Republicans in the two branches of Congress as well as further to expose the weakness of the admins tration with the money power ot tSe East.
 No one doubts that Joe Cannon will be elected speaker No man who Mas as- pired to that honor was ever more popu- lar with the membership in the body of both parties. He signally demonstrated his devotion to the House in speech he made the last day of the last session when he vehemently inveighed against the stand and deliver methods of the Senate.
 It means lively and strenuous politics within the ranks of the Republican par ty. a war which will be waged from now m R. A. Watkins.

scottsboro. June so.-(special )-Andy Dsgss, negro. who was arrested Sunday evening and placed in jail here. charged with attempting criminal assault on the person of Miss Alma, the ls-year-old daughter of Dr. B. B. Smith of Larkins- vile, was taken from the county jail here and hanged to c telegraph pole just west of town, between the hours of midnight and day last night by a determined mob of masked men, about seventy-ive in number.
 His body is still hanging to the pole and is being viewed by hundreds of people. {. The mob came up to the jail and the first the sheriff knew of 1t, the members were in the hall down stairs. The sheriff srasped two pistols. and. mounting the stairs to the cells warned the mob not to come up; that he would kill any one who attempted 1t.
 The reply was a volley of shots. the sheriff returning the ire and emptying his revolver. Before he could reload. he was shot down by the mob. one shot talk ing effect in his right leg above the knee and another in his pistol arm. thereby dis abling him.
 His daughter, Miss Ola Austin. ran to her father, and was ct once covered by a pistol in the hands of one of the mob. and made to surrender the keys.
 The teienhone wires at the jail were cut 90 as to prevent the sheriff calling for aid. One of the masked men. after Sheriff Austin was shot down, went across the square and summoned Dr. Boyd. who responded and dressed the wound of the sheriff.
 It seems Sheriff Austin had no intima- ton of the approaching mob. consequent ly had made no preparations to put on extra guards at the jail. He telephoned a friend at Larlxinsvilie late last evening to find out the status of the situation there. and the reply was that everything was quiet and he heard nothing of a mob being formed.
 Only few persons in scottsboro knew of the hanging or the approach of the
