FRANCE SENDS A WARSHIP
Demands Redress for Insult tc
Minister Deprcz.
Exact Nature of the Redress which
Warship Will Demand Has Not
Yet Been Announced.

Paris, June 25.-Following a meeting
or the council of ministers, Friday, il
was officially announced that the gov
eminent intended to send a warship
to Hayti to demand redress for the in
suit 10 Minister Deprez, who was
stoned by the palace guards on Wed.
nesday
This decision followed Foreign Min
lister Delcasse's presentation of the
circumstances Of the assault to the
council.
The details are identical with those
contained in the dispatches from Port
Au Prince Wednesday, However, the
officials do not attach undue serious
ness to the affair Germany has shown
purpose of acting energetically. The
nature Of the redress which the war;
ship will demand is not yet ammo unced
The question of asking for an indem-
nifty mas been considered, but it has not
been decided whether this will be re-
CURED in addition to q most ample
apology.
One of the ships of the French squad
ron in West Indian waters will be des-
ignated to make the demand.
The semi-official Temps has printed
a leading article on the necessity for
putting an end to the repeated Incl
dents in Central and South America
similar to the stoning Of Minister De-
PREF. The paper says
ut is Indispensable that the Haytien
government adopt decisive measures to
combat the anti-foreign sentiment in
Hayti, punish the guilty of the present
offense, and make the most apology
and other suitable redress for the
outrage. The Haytien legation seeks
to minimize the affair, which il attrib-
utes to few disorderly soldiers.

Hamilton County Sensation.

Sheriff W. P. Hays, of Hamil-
ton county, and the Republican
nominee for reelection, created a
sensation last week in Chattanooga
by announcing that he would not
make the race. He charges that
Postmaster Sharp and his assistant
Scott Roulston, who control the
county Republican executive COM
mittee, were putting men in charge
Of the campaign who were entirely
out Of sympathy with him. He
stated that he did not care to put
the large amount required of him
for campaign expenses into the
hands Of these men and would leave
the field to- his Democratic OPP
ponent. 1t is accepted as another
chapter in the old fight between the
partisans Of Brownlow and Evans.

His Moorish servants made great
demonstration Of joy, kissing their

Much credit is due to the two sher-
eefs of Wazan, Mulai Ali and Mulai
Hamet, who have devoted much time
in efforts to secure the success of the
negotiations, Mulai Ali remained at
Raisuli's camp continuously, thus in
surfing the safety of the oaptives, while
Mulai Hamet Travelled between Tan
gier and Benayres.
Mulai Hamet says that he arrived at
the camp of Zelal, governor of the Benz
M'Sara tribe, at three o'clock on June
%, but that the captiyes did not ar
rive until the morning of June "a.

History of the Affair.
Perdiceris and Marley were abducted
by Moroccan bandits and held for
ransom, Raisuli, leader Of the bri-
gands, delivered an ultimatum to the
sultan, holding that unless the ransom
was paid and several OF the brigands
held as prisoners by the government
were released, Perdicaris and his COM
panion in captivity would pay the pen
atty with their lives
AS soon as the United States govern
ment heard of the matter, the Euro
pean squadron, under Admiral Chad
wick, was ordered to proceed to Tan
gier- and hurry the release of the
American. The sultan was backward,
and secretary Hays ultimatum was the
result. That is had the desired effect
is amply attested.

FIRE AT THE WORLDS FAIR
tenu of states Completely De-
strOyed BY an Early Fire.

St. Louis, June 25.-In a Commute
fire, discovered at a. n, the hand
ONE House of Hoo Hoo, situated
among the state buildings at the
Worlds fair, and but short distance
from the Mines and Metallurgy and
German buildings, was completely de-
stroyed.
The loss is given HI the managers
of the building as $4,000 on the house,
fully insured. and $4,000 on the con-
tents, not insured. 1t is not known
whether the building will be rebuilt.
The fire, which is the first of i'm
portance in the history of the fair, was
the central feature Of the numerous
thrilling incidents. Five persons sleep
ing in the house of the Hoo Hoos were
caught in the smoke and flames, and
four escaped only by climbing first to
veranda, thence to the roof, and
thence down the trunk of tree whose
branches overhung the building.
An alarm was turned in from the
lCAdo DuuulhS Wy JChSio On 6udlu
less than minute after still alarm
had been received from Mysterious
Asia, on the Pike mile and half
away. The Pike fire was in the ele-
plants stable, but did no material
damage. For a time, however, it
threatened a stampede among the ele-
plants, but the animals were quieted
after considerable hard work by their
keepers
Burning brands from the Hoo Hoo
building seriously threatened other
buildings. There was danger that the
Texas, Oregon, Kentucky and German
buildings and Grants Log Cabin and
the building of the Disciples of Christ,
all within a narrow radius, would be-
come ignited.
The fire was witnessed by hundreds
of persons of every nationality drawn
from the Pike and the national build
ings.
In addition to the loss on the build
ing and furnishings, there is. an esti-
mated loss of $4,000 to the company
which had the catering concession. The
dining room and kitchen and large
stock of supplies were on the ground
floor, and all are q total loss, with no
insurance.

The Present Changes Brought About
by the designations of Attor-
ney-Genernl knox ana

Washington, June ga sweepin
change in the cabinet Of Presiden,
Roosevelt was announced officially

came in the form Of a brief typewriter
statement by Secretary Loeb, as fol-
lows:
THE following cabinet appointments
are announced

of the navy.
Victor H. Metcalf, Of California,
secretary Of commerce and labor.
THE designations of Secretary Cor
telyou and Att'y-Gen. Knox have been
accepted, to take effect July l."
For two weeks or more it has been
known that these changes were i'm
pen6lng. When Secretary Cortelyou
was designated by President Roosevelt
to be his campaign manager it was GER
tain that he would retire from the
cabinet upon his assumption of duties
as chairman of the Republican nation
al committee. Just before he left for
Chicago, last Wednesday, he placed in
the hands of the president his letter
of resignation from the department OF
commerce and labor 1t was under
stood between the president and him
that the presignation was to be
accepted to take effect at the end Of
TIE present fiscal year, June 80, in.
elusive
One week ago Atty-Gen. Knox for
mally announced that he would retire
frcm the department of justice, prob
ably at the end of the fiscal year. II
was understood at the same time that
Secretary Moody would succeed Mr..
Knox as attorney-ge general. The state
ment was made, however, that while
the transfer OF Secretary Moody to the
department of justice was very prob
| able, it was dependent, in measure,
on the presidents success in securing
such a successor for him in the navy
| department as he desired.
In pursuance to his purpose to Sc
cure the services of thoroughly able
and congenial man, President Roose-
welt rendered the appointment of secre-
tary of the navy to Paul Morton, first
vice-president of the Atchisen, Topeka
G. Santa Fe Railroad Co. Mr.. Morton Ia
personal friend of the president OF
many years standing, He is a son OF
the late Hon. j. Sterling Morton, OF
Nebraska, secretary of agriculture in
President Cleveland's last administra-
\ ton.
| 1t is expected that further changes
will take place in the cabinet next
virteI.
ostmaster-General Payne probabl,
will retire from the cabinet after the
campaign. He will be succeeded by
National Chairman Cortelyou. Secre.
tary Moody will continue as member
of the cabinet only until the end Of
the present administration on the Att
of March next, when he will retire tc
enter upon the practice of law in Bos
ton. 1t is quite likely that Other
changes will take place in the even
of Mr.. Roosevelt being elected presi
dent. But no authority exists at thi'
time upon which to base forecast o
them.

Three State NormaIs Wanted.

A petition is being circulated by
the friends of education in Carroll
county, composed of school teach
ers, officers and citizens, to be pre-
sented to the next general assembly
OF Tennessee, urging that body to
aid in bringing about such legisla-
ton as will result in the establish
ment and maintenance of at least
three State normal schools, one for
each of the three grand divisions of
the State, the schools to be opened
for students not later than Scptem-
Der, 1905. The promoters of the
petition believe that the greatest
educational need of our State is a
large number of trained men and
women to be the teachers of our
youth and also the leaders in the
community, thereby giving their in
fuence, culture and purpose to our
citizenship and thus preparing the
field for the development of educa-
-tional ideals, such as more money,
longer terms, better teaching and
better facilities. It is expected that
thousands of signers to the petition
will he secured. Should these three
State normals be established, Hunt
ingdon is tipped as the lucky town
to secure the institution for West
Tennessee, although the rivalry for
the plum will be lively.

Put Poison In His Meat.

John Shelton and his son are
dead at Lebanon, from eating meat
which is thought contained poison
and another one Of his sons is in a
critical condition. Only two of the
family escaped and as they did not
eat any Of the meat there can be
no doubt as to that being the cause
of the deaths. Recently Shelton
was heard to remark in fit of
dependency that he was going to
kill his family and himself, as he
was tired of living and his financial
condition was such that he could no
longer support his family. This re-
mark is tragically recalled by the
wholesale poisoning and post NOR
tenn examination is in progress.
Shelton was a stone mason, aged
67, and did good work.

Trade Report.
eview of trade says:

Dun's review of trade says:
Confidence appears to be returning
despite large addition to the army of
unemployed. Labor disturbances are
the most unfayorable factors in the
industrial and commercial situation at
the present time, curtailing the output
of a few much needed products and re-
ducing the demand for all commodi-
ties. Aside from this adverse influence
the situation has improved, although
progress is slow and frequently inter-
rupted.
Another week has put wheat and
cotton beyond danger and brought 9TH
err crops nearer maturity. Dealers are
providing for the future a little more
freely. and in several important BRAN
ches of industry orders come forward
in greater bulk. Owing to special con-
ditions, the leading branches of manu-
facture do not make uniform progress,
complications as to supplies OF raw ma
terial making the current situation par
ticularly puzzling at the textile mills
and shoe shops.
Failures numbered 220 in the United
States.
