he knew whereof he spoke. Since ii
will be remembered that Mr.. Byrd
took very active part in formulating
the plans for building the road and he
and others connected with the move
ment held meeting with some of
our citizens in the National Bank of
Commerce it may be presumed he
knows what he is talking about. He
said very positively that the road
would be built, but did not say
through of course he left that imrres-
sion, that it would come by Hatties-
bursg. But this has nothing to do
with the effort Hattiesburg should
make to get it to come in this direc-
tion or at least give us branch.
Here is chance for the board of
trade to play its fine Italian hand and
ascertain direct from the promoters
of the road where it is to run and to
know if there could be any induce
ment offered that would bring it to
this city. Let us watch that road as
we'll as pray.

A BOX FACTORY.

Had one never thought that if a
pants factory was established in Hat
tiesburg it would necessitate the
establishment of a box factory? This
however would be the case for the
former factory would require great
number of boxes, besides those it did
not use could be sold in twenty-four
hours. Corinth has box factory and
it cannot near supply the demand.
The other day it got an order from a
Chicago firm saying it would take all
the boxes it could turn out. It would
take but little money to start a box
factory, and the amount could be
gotten up before breakfast. This is
another industry for consideration by
the Hattiesburg board of trade.

GERMANY WAVES APOLOGY
BUT MAY EXCLUDE CERTAIN CLAIMS

Effort of n Correspondent to Inter-
view President Castro-Interview
with General Matos.

WASHINGTON, Dec. 31.-The answer OF
President Castro to the proposals OF the
allies to submit to the arbitration OF The
Hague tribunal the Venezuelan difficulties
has reached Washington through Minister
Bowen. The answer amounts to gen.
eral acceptance of the principles OF the
proposition, President Castro being willing
to submit his case to the arbitration OF
fair and impartial authorities. The details
of the answer will not be published here
In advance of its reception by the allied
powers, and in fact 1t may be withheld
entirely from publication on the ground
that 1t really belongs to those powers. The
State Department is preparing the answer
for transmission to Europe AS it is quite
long and undoubtedly will require careful
consideration by the foreign offices at Lon
don, Berlin and Rome, it is not expected
that any further steps toward a final set
Element can be taken for a day or two.
The feeling here, however, based on a
knowledge of Castro's position, is that his
answer practically clears the way for the
submission of the case to arbitration. The
answer has given great satisfaction here.

ILLINOIS COAL INQUIRY
ATTORNEY GENERAL HAMLIN CON-
CLUDES HIS INVESTIGATION.
No Evidence of Collision Between
Railway Companies and Dealers
Coal Held to Fill Contracts.

CHICAGO, Dec. 31.-Attorney General
Hamlin's investigation of the coal trade
ended in Chicago tonight temporarily
without announcement of definite results
The attorney general took a late train for
cial inquiry on Friday and Saturday into
affairs at the mines with a view to ascer-
tanning whether there should be legal ac-
ton by the State against the coal dealers
and operators the railroads. Nearly
thirty representatives of coal dealers and
railroad officials were examined to-day.
The attorney general and the aldermanic
committee combined their investigation.
The inquiry has not yet brought out evil
dence of conspiracy between dealers and
on the part of the railroads, or of both,
although some of the former have been
shown to have on hand thousands of tons
of coal. They, however, claim that 1t is
for contracts already made and not their
own. Attorney General Hamlin says that
If it can be shown the coal is really not
held for contracts the dealers can be pros
ecuted for withholding 1T from the mar
ket. Several railroad men declared their
roads were giving coal preference over
dead freight and produced figures to show
that it was being disposed of fast as
received.
Attorney General Hamlin said to-day that
conditions are rapidly becoming better.
There Is more coal in the yards now than
there was twenty-four hours ago. he
said, after the last of the railroad and coal
men had left I'm fact, relief is coming
so rapidly that l do not believe we shall
be forced to begin any proceedings against
the companies. The railroad officials re-
sponded promptly to the invitation to ap-
pear before the attorney general while
the coal dealers appeared more reluctant.

ment's reservations in agreeing to submit
the Venezuelan claims to arbitration con-
tinue to be undisclosed in their entirety.
From statements appearing, however, it
seems to be confirmed that Germany ex-
cludes from the claims which are subject
to arbitration demands amounting to $780,
900 for seizure of property and outrages on
German subjects under circumstances
which are here so clear that 1t is deemed
useless to call I'm arbitrators. The payment
of this sum will not be demanded in cash
at present, but a sufficient guarantee for
the payment would be insisted upon. Great
Britains preferred claims are equivalent
in amount, 100000. hence the statements
made abroad that Germany is asking more
than Great Britain are incorrect. Germany
valves an apology for what are called
diplomatic insults" asking only material
reparation.

WILLEMSTAD, Island of Curacao, Dec.
31.-General Matos, the head of the revolu-
tionary movement against President Cas-
tro, referring to the Venezuela difficulties
with the allied powers, said: The pending
question has two objects; one is the recov-
cry of certain sums of money owed by
Venezuela. and the other is that of claims
for injuries received by foreigners resident
in the republic. l see no exceeding gravity
In either of these two matters, because
every legitimate debt must be paid. and
because the laws of the republic and its
treaty with foreign nations and in special
cases international law determine in every
instance the proceedings under the circum-
stance to be followed by civilized nations
who desire to uphold their honor and make
their country respected among the nations -

SITUATION in MOROCCO
AMERICAN AND ENGLISH MISSION.
ARIES PROBABLY SAFE.
Tetuan Menaced by Tribesmen-War-
ships OF Several Nations Ordered
to Tangier.

LONDON, Jan. 1, 1903.-The morning
newspapers have little fresh news from
Morocco. Yesterday the missionary head
quarters in London telegraphed to Tangier
for information regarding the missionaries.
for whose safety, however, not much fear
is felt here. The latest advices from the
Americans at Mequenez show that Messrs.
Wellever, of Minnesota, and Reed, of Kan
sas City, went to Fec after the recent trou-
BILE at Mequenez. Six other missionaries
are presumed to be at Mequenez.
Madrid has received advices saying the
Benidir and surrounding tribes are menac-
ing Tetuan. The excitement there is in
tense. No further news has been received
at Madrid from Fec, the couriers having
been delayed by heavy rains.
Germany has notified Spain that she in
tends to observe an attitude toward Moroc-
CO similar to that of France and Great
Britain. All the powers are thus in accord
with SPANS desire to maintain the status
quo.
A dispatch received from Ceuta Morocco,
says that Moor who was under British
protection has been murdered by Moors
between Tangier and Tetuan. The Ka-
byles in the vicinity of Molilla, Morocco,
are quiet.
During the recent battle with the govern
ment forces the rebels captured twelve of
the Sultan's cannon and his treasure
chests.
The warships of several nations will soon
be at Tangier. The Spanish cruiser Rio de
la Plata has been ordered to Tangier, where
she will watch events. The Spanish sloop
lnfanta Isabel sailed from Algeiras yester-
day for Morocco. General Chacel will as

traction facilities in Brooklyn, recommend

officials of the Brooklyn Rapid Transit
Company had admitted they could cure the
evils, but were unwilling to do so. The jury
expresses the opinion that the roads could
be operated at a profit on 3-cent fare
basis. The presentment says:

CLEARINGHOUSE CHANGES.


New Method Of Reporting Clearings
Has Been Adopted.
With the beginning of the year 1903 the
method of reporting clearings In the Indian
apolis Clearing House will be changed.
From the organization of the clearing house
the method of reporting the 'ciearings has
been one which included both debit and
credit items. That is to say, that checks
received for clearing have been counted
as credits of the banks which sent them
to the clearing house. and when they were
distributed among the banks on which they
were drawn they were counted as debts
of those banks. The net result of this
method was that each item was. counted
twice. AT the time that this method was
adopted it was the one generally in use
throughout the country. OF late years, how
ever many of the larger cities have made a
change whereby only items received are
reported; and the Indianapolis Clearing
House Association, desiring to be in line
with this action, has determined that with
the opening of the new year the same
method shall be used in reporting Indian
apolis clearings. In this connection il is
to be noted that for the purpose of COM
parison with clearings of previous years.
in order to ascertain the percentage of in
crease or decrease of clearings, the report
ed figures of previous years should be d.
vided by two in order that the comparison
may be on a uniform basis.

WORE CHEESE CLOTH ROBES.
More Testimony in Regard tn Mrs
TingIey and Her People.

SAN DIEGO, Cal, Dec. 31.-The cross
examination of Miss Matilda Kratzer, who
testified that she was overworked as house
maid at Point Iona. was commenced when
the Tingley-Times trial resumed this morn
ing. She said money was not paid TO the
institution for the maintenance of herself
or her mother, and that she expected to
do some work in return for education. She
was certain that fifteen minutes twice
week was all the time she had to practice
on the piano. Giving an account OF her
time from morning till night the witness
justified her original statement that she
was kept busy. Miss Kratzer said again
that her own robe was made of cheese
cloth. The robes were cut, she considered,
fairly high in the neck-from the base of
the neck-she said. The arms were bare
from a point about midway between Shout
der and elbow.
