THROWING Of fits on account OF
alleged gerrymander-
ine tricks in Democratic states. espe=
ciaIly in the south,in re-districtinS the
congressional districts under the nc#
apportionment based upon tie iJay
census. They allege that Alabama,
Missouri, Arkansas and Texas are the
worst offenders. and one OF the eA-
amples given is the Sixth Arkansas
district, to be represented in the next
congress by Joe Robinson, and in
which jefferson county Is
situated. The Washington cor
respondent of the rabid st. Louis
Globe-Demoerat takes the Sixth dis.
trict eff in the following amusing
style.
The Sixth Arkansas district is
SHAPED much like a weasel though

Sembling fine-tOOth comb. Near this
comb, to the eastward is a jutting line
like a chimney, running up into an
other district, comprising Lonoke
county. which furnished as repre-
sentative one Joe T. Robinson. This
is Mr. Robinson's first term in con-
gress. He records the pleasant fact
that his vote was the largest received
ponent. w. N. Carpenter. the smallest
received by any Republican,.
ire of the Republicans These are the
Seventh and Fourteenth. The same
correspondent escrihes the t%c di.z-
trt"ts as follows:
The Seventh district may be q

TEN ICHrS JAPANESE.

Lovers of the mysterious and marvel ous are finding much to enjoy and en- thuse over in the feats of conjur1ng and necromancy shown by Ten lchl and his Japanese troupe of wonder workers at the Jacques this week. It is an exhibition that naturally creates much talk, and on all sides one hears of the marvellous things they do. The water novelty in particular, and the trick, come in for much comment and one hears talk of Ten Ichi everywhere this week. It is an exhibition that no one ought to miss, for it is thoroughly genuine novelty that has thus far def1ed all imitators whether own or any other race. There is lots of comedy in the other acts on the bill so that it has all tie elements of a show that is designed to please. Those figuring on the bill are Keno, Welch and Melrose, Craig and Ardell, Fiske and McDonough, Harry B. Les ter, Estelle Wordette and company, the Gagnoux and the vitagraph. Prices are 10, 20 and 80 cents; after moons 10 and 20 cents, ladies 10.

BRITISH CAPTURE sokoTo.
FaIamIs Charged the Square With
 FanatfcaI Bravery.

FaIamfs Charged the Square With
 FanaticaI Bravery.
 LONDON, May 13.-Interesting de- tails have been received here of the capture of Sokoto, in west Africa, by the British column commanded by Colonel Morland The British mum bered about 800 men, with four quick firing guns and four Maxims. The en- emy's horse and foot were estimated to number some 5000 men, their rifemen being armed with modern rifles and using smokeless powder.
 The British camped during the night near Sokoto after hard march of hundred miles from Kaura, with but little water and having passed through difficult country. At daybreak the British moved out in square formation toward the valley in which Sokoto lies. Immediately after the British appeared over ridge the Fulanis charged with fanatical bravery, undeterred by a whitening Maxim and rife fire. They had no proper leadership, but the iso- lated bands continued to advance over heaps of dead and dying, often only in- dividuals reaching within yard of the square, where, refusing quarter, they were shot down while shouting "Al- lahv' with their last breath.
 The main body of the natives was finally routed, leaving a remnant of about thirty chiefs around the emir's great white flag. These chiefs were de- liant to the last, and their corpses were found hedging the standard when the British entered the city, which consist ed mostly of matched houses. It's semi ruined walls extended seven miles round the place and were pierced by eight gates. A few days later the popu- lace returned, and the Fulanis rendered their submission to Commissioner Lu- gard, who installed a new emir. The British then retired toward the coast, leaving garrison of two companies of infantry.

Within the last quarter of century two presidents of the United States have been murdered and in each .in stance the cause was easily traceable to inflammatory and careless newspaper utterance. Crimes are widely propa- gated not by the malice, but by the recklessness of the press, and in cer- tain classes of cases, among them mur- der, the accused are at times convicted or acquitted before Yhey reach the court room.'
 s The governor concludes his statement as follows: 'The proposed legislation has been regarded by q large propor- ton of the reputable press with great misgivings. It is natural that this should be the case. The future is ever uncertain, and the easy way to avoid the dangers ahead is to stand still. This is nevertheless not a wise course. The boy conscious of many lapses who is invited by stern father into pri- vate room enters with dread, and yet the purpose may only be to arrange for the coming holidays. When the gar dener comes with his hoe into the gar den which has been left to run wild it is safe to say that 1t Is the mullein, and not the pea Which IS likely to suffer. This bill may not be the best possible legislation, but the purpose is com mendable, and should experience show it to be defective something better may be devised. It ought to be cordially and cheerfully accepted by the reputa- bIe press, for they have special inter est in 1t becoming law. Where the tares occupy the ground the wheat per- ishes. It threatens them with no dan ger. Seeking to utter the truth and not the falsehood, what have they to fear?
 Into, our courts, where learned judges administer the law with fidelity and juries are drawn from the masses of the people, we'll fitted to determine who is the wrongdoer, they are not likely to be summoned or If summoned they may go with entire safety This much Is certain: Since the laws of God and nature are immutable and inexe- crable, unless means are found to up- root some of the tendencies of modern Journalism the influence, already badly shaken, will be utterly lost, and the in- fiuence of the press which has been so potent an agent in the development of civilization and in securing civil lib- erty, will be gone forever.
 with serious sense that the evil is of more than ordinary moment, with

A STRICT LIBEL LAW
Governor Pennypacker Sigps
 Grady Salus Bill.
OPPOSED BY PENNSYLVANIA PRESS
He Claims Measure Will Not Harm Reputable Newspapers-Aimed at Reckless Journal
 ism Only.

HARRISBURG, Pa, May 13.-Gov.
 ernor Pennypacker has approved the Grady -Salus libel bill and at the same
 time issued long statement giving the reasons for his action. The bill, which was in the governors hands for more than a mcnth goes into effect imme- fdiately and repcals all laws or parts of Jaws inconsistent with the new act. The governor claims there is nothing
 In the terms of the measures which prevents any newspapers from making such comments upon legislative meas ures or upon the official acts of state, municipal, county or public officers as
 are proper for the Information of the public or are in the line of legitimate public discussion.
 Continuing, he says: "The bill in Its application is not confined to officials, but affects as well the citizen or busi- ness man, whose conduct constitutes no part of the right of the public to in formation. The corporation officer who has been falsely charged with crime, the manufactures who has been false ly accused of being drunken brawler. the woman whose domestic griefs have
 been unfeelingly paraded or whose chastity is improperly suspected, the student who has been falsely accused of murder, the clergyman who has been cruelty maligned, the quiet citi- zen whose peace of mind has been de stroyed by the publication of evil gos- sip, the merchant @yhose credit has
 been affected by groundless rumors and the sufferers from reckless but not necessarily malicious publications are given the right not to prohibit publica- Ltion, but to recover the damages which they have sustained provided they prove negligence or lack of cdre on the
 part of the publishing newspapers. All of these are instances of what has in fact recently occurred.
