Mississippi.


Washington, March 1S.-Mr. South
wick of New York precipitated A
lively debate in the house by having
read an editorial from the New York
World giving Republicans credit for
antitrust legislation and the merger
prosecution. 1t was offered by way OF
reply TO Mr.. Williams, who had asked
il the merger decision was to be used
by the Republicans as a theatrical po-
litical trick
Mr.. Williams, after the editorial
had been read, declared that the Sc
curities prosecution was instigated by
Governor Van SAINT, whom he styled
"a blanket Indian Republican" who
refused TO consult headquarters,
and that for very shame, after he had
the case dockete6, the administration
prior to an election could not hold
itself still.
Throughout the day the postofiico
appropriation bill was under discus
sion and little progress was made.
The minority leader declared the
postoffice department was rotten from
turret to foundation stone and the Re
publicans were trying to reorganize i
on an appropriation bill. Further crit

emphasis, said: Remember this is p
department that is absolutely rotten

leader, asked, Where does the gentle

Mr. Williams
"Then you don't get it at all" hotly
retorted Mr.. Payne.

HOW FRANCE AIDS RUSSIA.
Assisting Materially in Speeding Fleet
20 the East.


There is little doubt that colonial
agents Of the French government, sta
toned along the route which the Rus
sian Baltic feet is taking in its east
ern voyage, have been authorized to
put a liberal construction upon the
laws of neutrality. France is bound to
Russia by treaty. Of which the terms
have never been publicly defined. It
is a treaty compelling either party to
assist the other in any crisis In which
the national safety may be considered
at stake. Were France certain that
Great Britain would not fulfill the
obligations laid upon her by the
Hayashi-Landsdowne treaty, it is pos
sible that French sympathy with Rus
sia would drive the French govern
ment to place its enormous naval re-
sources at the disposition of st. Peters
burg. But such vioient expression OF
sympathy would be perilous in the
extreme in the present condition of
international politics. II is impossible
for Japan to compel France to OBJ
serve strictly her responsibilities as
a neutral. Some convenient French
ports are in the path. of the Baltic
feet. At one or two of them the feet
has already received more than the
privileges that a neutral ordinarily
accords to a belllgerent The assist
ance which this policy gives to Rus

power has no naval depot anywhere

extension of hospitality to the Baltic
voyagers, but she is no trim to make
that protest effective against a power.

LAST OF sEEcHER JURORS.
William II. Davis, Now Dead, Was
Long Sole Survivor.

William H. Davis, Now Dead, Was
Long Sole Survivor.
The Beecher-Tilton trial is recalled
by the death a day or two ago of
William H. Davis, the last Of the
twelve men who made up the jury
which sat in the trial. In all the time
which has elapsed since the Beecher
trial Mr.. Davis, according to the
statement Of his relatives, has never
told how he voted on the jury, nor
expressed an opinion in regard to the
guilt or innocence of Mr.. Beecher. AT
ter the jury returned to the court
room and reported a disagreement it
was discharged. The individual mem
bers were asked for expressions of
opinion in regard to the case, None
Of the twelve men would consent to
say anything, and 1t was learned that
before the verdict was brought in all
had agreed never to divulge what had
taken place in the jury room, even to
their own families. It is believed that
with the death of Mr.. Davis the last
chance that the proceedings of the
jury would become known has van
ished.
