General Jackson was born at Paris.
Tenn, in 1885, and acquired a prepara-
tory education in the schools at Jack

the following year General Jackson
went to New Mexico as an officer in

fights with such adventurous scouts as
Kit Carson. He resigned his command
in the United States army upon the
outbreak of the civil war, and offered
his sword to his native state and was
appointed a captain Of artillery by
Governor Harris.
At the battle of Belmont, General
Jackson received minnie ball In his
side which was never removed. He
was raised to the rank of colonel for
his gallantry in that fight. General
Jackson commanded the cavalry under

Great Danger Still Exists and Most
Extreme Vigilance is Urged.
The special daily river bulletin Is
sued at washington Monday night was
to the effect that the Mississippi river
was falling as far south as VicksDurg.
The stage Of water at the latter place
was 51.4 feet, fall Of Oh foot since
Sunday night. The fall will continue
for a few days longer, when the over
flow water from the crevasse below
Greenville will commence to re-enter
the river at Vicksburg, causing mod.
crate rise at that place and a prolonga-
ton of the food for probably an addi.
tional two weeks. 1t Is again urged
that preparations for an extremely
dangerous stage in the vicinity OF
Vicksburg should not be relaxed, and
this caution applies with equal force to
the remaining districts southwark to
the Gulf of Mexico.
High water will continue In the New
Orleans district for three weeks or
longer, its duration depending upon
the extent to which the levees hold.

DEWEY SCORES GERMANS.
Admiral Says Bits Navy is "smalf
Potatoes" Compared with Our
Own-May Rile Kaiser.

A Washington special says: The
possibility that the German govern
ment may make inquiries OF the gov
ernment of the United States regard
Ing certain declarations Of Admiral
George Dewey concerning the German
navy and the recent maneuvers OF the
United States in the Caribbean sea,
was the principal topic Il talk in offi-
cial circles Friday.
Ever since his experience with the
Germans N Manila bay, Admiral
Dewey has had no love for the Ger
man navy, and, like most of the other
officers of the United States navy, he
believes that a clash between Ger
many and the United Gta-es is almost
inevitable. Looking to this possibll-
ity, the general board of the navy, OF
which he is president, makes all its
calculations for naval development
with reference to Germany. All com
parisons OF naval strength are with
Germany to the exclusion of other Eu'
ropean powers.
This all-prevailing sentiment is
doubtless responsible for some Of the
utteranccs OF Admiral Dewey quoted
in any interview published Friday, In
which he declared that the navy OF
the United States is superior to the
Germany navy. He goes farther and
declares that the United states navy
is the greatest in the world, giving as
his reason that every man in 1t is a
man of intelligence.
"The German navy" ne declares, us
an entirely different organization In
It's makeup of human material.
have made deep study of that navy.
My belief is that it's efficiency in pos
sible action is greatly overestimated.
The men do not begin to compare in
education ant. intelligence with the
Americans"
Thereupon Admiral Dewey proceeds
to reveal some very interesting official
secrets. He declares that the maneu'
vers in the Caribbeon sea were not
only successful, but we're the greatest
object lesson Of the kind that the
world has probably ever seen.
1T was an object lesson to the kais-
er more than to any other person" ne
declares. Think of it! Fifty-four
war ships were engaged. Germany
could not possibly get a fleet over
here that could fight such an aggre'
cation of warships as that"
While Admiral Dewey does not
say so, in just those words his inter
view carries the inference that the
maneuvers carries the inference that
the maneuvers were designed especial
ly for just that purpose.
Dewey Was lmprudent.
There is a general feeling in official
circles that Admiral Dewey should not
have said what he did, but everybody
acknowledges that he told the truth.
The officials of the navy department
will take no notice of the interview
unless they are called upon to do SO
through diplomatic channels. This
means unless there is complaint from
Germany. In accordance with his gen
eral instructions, Count Speck Won
Sternberg, German plenipotentiary
has cabled the text of me Interview
to Berlin.

Fl.C0D RECORD IS BROKEN.
Previous High Water Mark Exceeded
by Over a Foot-SItuation in
GreenviIe Not Changed.

The special river bulletin issued at
washington Saturday was as follows:
The Mississippi river continues to
fall from Helena to Cairo, and Is
about on a stand below Owing to the
break in the levee about five miles be-
low Greenyille, no further rise is ex-
pected to the ncrthward. Stages at
Arkansas City and Greenville Satur-
day morning were SO and 4S feet, re-
spectively, over one foot above the
previous high water records of 1897.
Below Greenville the food crest will
be somewhat prolonged, as the cre-
vase water must come back to the
Mississippi by way OF the Yazoo river.
The crevasse near Lucy, La, on thu
west side, is now about $50 feet In
width and large amount OF sugar
can land has been inundated. Siren
uous efforts are being made to close
this break.
Situation at GreenviIle.
A special of Sunday from Green
Vile was to the effect that the back
water from the LAGRANGE crevasse
was slowly rising and nearly all of the
city is submerged. Business is para
lyzed and people are moving abou.
the streets in the southern sections in
skiffs.
The sensational reports sent out
that the city Is in danger OF destruc-
ton are highly exaggerated, and the
facts do not warrant any such state
ment. Rumors Of great loss Of life
are absolutely without foundation so
far as is known. Relief parties with
boats have been at work rescuing
people in the path Of the flood.
All trains lett the city Sunday after.
noon promptly on schedule time. The
shutdown of the electric light plant
is a serious inconvenience to the peo-
pie and lanterns in skins may be seen
throughout the town at night.
The food situation outside Of
Greenville remains practically un.
changed. The waters have covered
thousands of acres of the fine delta
farms and is sweeping south to Vicks-
burg. The loss will be heavy, but it
is impossible to give anything like a
correct estimate OF the damage
wrought by the food.

MANY PRISONERS MADE HAPPY
President Roosevelt Issues Order Ben,
citing Men Confined in the At
Ianta, Ga, Federal Prison..

Seventy-f1ve prisoners in the United
States penitentiary in Atlanta, Ca,
were made happy Tuesday morning
when Warden S: A. Hawk announced
to them the contents of an, order is-
sued by President Roosevelt.
The order has the effect Of shorten
ing the terms Of the men who were re-
moved to Atlanta from the prisons Of
Ohio and New York.
The Ohio and New York laws relat
ing to the diminution of sentences for
good conduct, whereby the federal
statutes were made applicable to the
United States prisoners, were very
much more liberal than the federal
statutes under which such diminution
of sentences is permitted in federal
institutions.
AS a result of the transfer Of the
New York and Ohio prisoners, the
federal statutes applied to them, and
in many cases their terms OF imprison-
ment were increased, in some cases, to
the extent of three or four years. They
lost all the benefits that were due
them for good behavior.
1t was known that the transfer work.
ed great injustice and hardship
upon a certain class Of prisoners, and
the last congress repealed the federal
statutes making state laws applicable
to federal prisoners, and enacted
very liberal Communication to the law
applicable to all United States prison.

In order to remedy the injustice
done the prisoners in the Atlanta in.
stitution. President Roosevelt issued
the following general order Monday:
"Now, therefore be 1t .nown, that /,
Theodore Roosevelt, president OF the
United States of America, In consider.
alton Of the premises, divers other
good and sufficient reasons me there
unto moving, do hereby order that
each and every United States prison
er who was or hereafter shall be trans
ferred from a state institution to the
United States penitentiary at Atlanta,
Ca, under sentence imposed on or be-
fore the 20th day of July, 1902, be dia.
charged by the warden Of said United
States penitentiary upon the day when
he would have been discharged had he
continued to be confined In the state
prison or penitentiary from which he
was transferred; upon conditions that
his conduct in the said institution and
in the United States penitentiary has
been such as to entitle him to the de.
ductions hereby granted and allowed. >
Warden S. A. Hawk, Of the Atlanta
federal prison, was notified Of the
presidents action and expressed de
light that the order had been issued.
and declared it would right a great
wrong.

The strike of Atlanta job office print
ers eliminated in a clash Monday al
ternoon about o'clock, when a fight
occurred between strikers and two
non-union men on Central avenue,

al Typographical union; Pat Mehafey
A. P. Burr and Otto Meyer and Bruno

Myer brothers and Mehaffey were ar
rested at the time of the difficulty.
Burr was later taken into custody.
Messrs. Foote & Davies, for whor2
the Myer brothers worked. secured the
release of the two men by depositing
collateral of s25 each. They also fur
nished the police with a list of elgh<
names, parties alleged to have paTtici
pated in the trouble, and on this list
were the names of Houston, Burr and
Mehaffey.
The trouble occurring as it did III
the business district and at a time
when the streets were crowded with
pedestrians created intense excite
ment, a graf crowd being attracted 10
the scene by the pistol shot. The
two non-union men claim that they
were attacked by crowd of strikers
as they left the establishment Of Foote
& Davies, on Alabama street, and that
they were roughly handled. One OF the
men was struck a blow in the mouth
and the other was hit on the side OF
the head.

Union Men are Called from Every
Job Office in Atlanta.
A general strike in the job printing
offices of Atlanta, Ca, was declared
Saturday afternoon, and the Typo
graphical Union and Employing Print
ers' Club have locked horns for a big
fight.
With the exception of two men in
the office of the Atlanta Lithograph-
ing Company, there are now no union
printers at work In any job office in
the city.
The following firms are the ones
concerned in the strike: Foote &

MES, the Atlanta Lithographing Com
pany, ". R. Bean, the Atlanta Envel-
ope Company, NJ. T. LaHatte, Montag

Talk About Germans.

Presidents Action. =

A Washington special says: That
the president strongly disapproved Of
Admiral Dewey's action in reefctinS
upon the German emperor and his
navy in a recent interview was strik'
ingly illustrated by sensational Incl.
dent which occurred at the white
house Saturday. The president surn-
moned the admiral before him, and
asked for an explanation Of his con-
duct.
The admiral explained at length
what he mad said about Germany and
the kaiser and offered as an excuse
the fact that he had neglected to state
to his interviewers that the remarks
were confidential and not intended
for publication. Admiral Dewey told
the president he deeply regretted the
publicity given the interview and
hoped 1t would not embarrass the ad-
ministration.
Captain William 8. Cowles, the
presidents brother in law and hts
naval aid, accompanied the admiral
to the white house and was present
throughout the interview. The presi-
dent and Dewey parted amicably and
the statement was authorized after
wards that no further action would
be taken by the president so far a
Dewey was concerned. 1t is believed.
however, that the president, unofa-
cially at least, will acquaint Baron
Won Sternherg, the German minister,
with Admiral Dewey's explanation.
The presidents action has caused >
great sensation, and In some quarters
he Is criticised for making the incl
dent so formal and public. Ordinar
rily the secretary of the navy would
have been the proper authority to call
Admiral Dewey to task. But 1t u
learned that the president did not con-
suit the secretary regarding Dewey's
conduct.
Germans Attack dewey.
A special from Berlin says: Ger.
man foreign Office officials say they
do not believe that diplomatic Incl
dent will result from the recent inter-
view with Admiral Dewey, published
in a newspaper Of Newark, N. j., and
containing references to the German
navy and German emperor.
The officials say they are reluctans
to believe that the admiral was cor.
rectly quoted, especially in view OK
the good will he showed toward Ger
many in the messages exchanged with
Prince Henry"
The foreign officials add that should
the interview turn out to be true, II
would prove somewhat disturbing TO
the pleasant relations with the United
States"
The interview with Admiral Dewey
has angered the German newspapers.
Those Of a usually moderate tone re-
fer to it In a bitter manner. For In
stance, The Vossiche Zietung says:
"The American navy is evidently
suffering from a disease of infancy,
lack of modesty. It's leader evinces
something unspeakably immature.
One can only stand amazed that such
intensified self-complacency should be
taken in a people Of Germantc orr
gin. Such behavior would not excite
wonder If it had occurred in some
Central or South American republic.

LITTLE CHANGE AT GREENVILLE.

Flooded Mississippi Town Still Bat
tIing Against Greatest Odds.
There was little change in the flood
situation at Greenville, Miss, Monday
night. The cutting of the protection
levee at the northern border of the
town has given no perceptible relief in
letting out the water. On the contra
~, a rise was still in progress gener-
ally throughout the city.
The big crevasse miles south of
the city continues to widen and it is
impossible to say what the ultimate
breadth will be if the efforts to
strengthen the ends and prevent fur
ther cutting are not successful.
