Suit Against the Auditor.

j. w. Carter, ex-sheriff of Kemper
county, has brought mandamus pro-
ceeding in the circuit court here to
compel the auditor to issue his war
rant for $40, which was appropriated
by an act of the last legislature to
reimbure Carter for funds collected
oy the revenue agent. The revenue
agent checked up Carter's accounts
as sheriff and found shortage Of this
amount due the state on account of
tax collections not accounted for.
The same act authorizes the board of
supervisors to, refund to Carter$17S0.-
50 collected by the revenue agent on
account of Kemper county. These
sums were recovered against Carter
by judgment rendered in the circuit
court of Kemper county. The act to
reimburse him was passed by the house
and senate and went to Governor Var
daman for his signature. The COVER
cor withheld his signature and sent
message to the legislature express
ing his disapproval of such legisla-
ton. The bill then went to the sec
retary of state, as having become a
law under the constitution because it
had not been vetoed within five
days. The point has been raised that
the governor message is tantamount
to veto of the bill, and the auditor
declines to issue his warrant on the
ground that the bill has never become
\ law. h ~

Isthmus a Dead Place.

Washington-The Panama Canal
Commission is considering the issu-
ance of a general notice Of warming
to persons contemplating going to the
isthmus for the purpose Of engaging
in business or to seek employment on
the canal project. If this statement
is promulgated it will make clear that
persons going south must not expect
to find favorable field for invest
ment, and that it will be many months
before the government can give en-
ployment to any number of people.
According to an official who has just
returned from the isthmus a great
many Americans have already come
to grief there. The steamship com
panies have been besieged to let men
work their way home, and in some
instances free transportation has
been given to persons neither able

Suit Over Government Bonds.

The Chancery Court heard at Scran-

the late DR.. J. S. Ports, Of Vancleave.
Miss. The main point of interest was
centered about some $4,000 of United
States 4 per cent bonds. They came
into the possession Of the housekeep-
er Of DR.. Ports, who claimed that she
held them as gift from DR.. Ports,
made prior to his death and with the
consciousness of approaching death.
Judge Deavours decided that the evil
denee did not sustain this view and
ordered that the bonds be credited to
the estate.

Legislative RluntIers.

1t seems not at all improbable that
special session of the legislature will
have tc; be held to make appropriations
that the recent legislature either failed
so make or engrafted ON general bill
There is no oyster fund, and If the
Supreme Court upholds the attorney
generals opinion, as it seems evident
1T will, there will be no boil weevil
fund, and there are several other im-
portant appropriation bills that are
engrafted on general bills, and are
thus unconstitutional. Nothing but q
special session of the legislature car
remedy the defects. The boil weevil
appropriation made by the recent leg
islature is tied up, and another blund-
er of the lawmakers is evidently dis
covered.

LATE MISSISSIPPI NEWS.
Efforts Begun to Stamp Out White
Gaping Outrages.
Railroad Surveying.

Much interest is being directed to-
ward the mysterious maneuvers or
railroad surveying parties which are
becoming active in the lower portion
Of the Yazoo-Misissippi Delta, and
confidence is expressed by the people
that q railroad is coming through the
Delta with Jackson as an objective.
During last week two separate sur
veying parties visited Yazoo City and
engaged teams and went out through
the country. One Of these, 1t was
learned was Rock Island party.
there were eight men in the party,
and they engaged teams to go through
the country to the northward OF 1a-
zoo City. This party was engaged IN
surveying route from Itta Bena
southwark to Satartia, in Yazoo eoun-
ty, on the banks of the Yazoo river.
This would seem to be the Memphis,
Lndianola and Gulf crowd. The other
surveying party was headed by an en-
gineer, who claimed to be an employee
of the Yazoo and Mississippi Valley
Railroad Company, and went out to-
ward Campellcsville, northwest from
Yazoo City, in which part of the
country they said they were survey
ing a. railroad route.

No Available Oyster Fund.

The judges of the Supreme Court
have advised Gov. Vardaman that no
part Of the oyster fund is available
for paying the expenses of enforcing
the oyster law, and this because the
legislature. failed to make an appro-
priation out Of the fund. The court
holds that section 81 Of the laws shows
that the legislature contemplated that
appropriations should be made for
this purpose in the manner usual with
appropriations for all purposes, and
that the constitution forbids continu-
ing appropriations. This is final, and
settles the fate Of the oyster law for
the next two years.

Negro Mob Murders,

At Ballentine, a small station II
miles southwest of Sardis, Rufus Bo-
be was shot and killed by negro citi-
zens who were attempting to arrest
him on charge of numbering ne
gro woman. His brother, Mack Bo-
DO, was arrested on the same charge.
The latter was placed in Jail when

in tank of oil Monday morning and
was drowned. He had gone onto a

st. Petersburg. The reinforcements
prepared for General Kuropatkin are
being hurried. The last stage of the
mobilization of the tenth and seven
teenth army corps will be signalized
by the calling out of the reserves in
Moscow and Kharkoff provinces. They
will go to the front, thus placing an
other 100000 men at Kuropatkin s
disposal.
The announcement of the mobiliza-
ton of four army corps along the
Volga, which will follow in July or
August, is expected next month. The
reserves of each army corps involve
about 10000 men, an army corps in
time of peace numbering 10000 men
and in war times $4,000. An army
corps on a war footing includes three
infantry divisions Of four regiments
each, or three battalions, a division
of cavalry, consisting of three regi-
ments and six squadrons each; one
Cossack regiment, brigade of field
artillery and a brigade Of horse ar
tillery Of 120 guns and also three de-
tachments Of engineers and sappers.
At the general staff the dominant idea
is that the developments of the last
few days make it certain that the war
will be long and bitter. It is said
that half a million men would have
been required to hold southern Man
churia. The real truth seems to be
that Gen. Kuropatkin has not much
over 100000 south of Harbin and he
is determined to pursue the plan
which he mapped out at first-to al
low the enemy to follow him back in
to the heart of Manchuria until
strong enough to assume the often
sive.
While the Russian garrison is still
at New Chwang the untenability of
the position is fully realized and pre-
parations for dismantling the forts
and removing the garrison have been
completed. The Russian gunboat So
vouch there will be destroyed. The
Russians hold the pass which COM
mands the westerly approaches but it
is realized that their position there
also will be rendered untenable If the
enemy succeeds in bringing up supe-
rior force along the northern road to
Mukden. An ultimate retirement to
Hardin might possibly incur the dan
ger of a Chinese uprising, which in
creases with the japanese successes
and must be taken into consideration.
Wounded from the Yalu are pass
ing through Mukden on every train
on the way to Harbin.
The last passenger train from Port
Arthur before the line was cut ar
rived few days ago. The woodwork
of the coaches was marked with bull
lets that struck as the train dashed at
full speed past a critical point.
Sunday noon detachment of the
Lia-Tung Peninsula dispersed small
band of Russian troops and captured
Pu-Lan-Tien, a railroad station. The
Japanese destroyed the railway and
telegraphic communication with Port
Arthur.

borrow the necessary funds and leave
it with the next legislature to make
an appropriation to cover. Another
suggestion is that the Oyster Commits
sion simply use the money as it is
collected, instead of paying it into
the treasury, relying on the legisla-

Excessive Rates on Machinery.

The American Seeding Machine
Company of Springfield, Ohio, has ad-
dressed communication to the Mis-
sissippi Railroad Commission calling
attention to what the company claims
to be serious determinations against
shippers of machinery by the rail-
roads In this state. Complaint is
made that the companies have in
force certain arbitrary rules that are
great impeachment to business. One
Of these is the refusal of lines to per-
NIT the stoppage in transit of car
load shipments Of agricultural i'm
plements for the purpose of partly
unloading at stations on a through
route which are intermediate to final
destination. A second cause of com
plalnt assigned is the refusal Of these
lines to return to the factory or origi-
nal shipping point articles of old and
obsolete machinery for repairs in
carload lots at 50 per cent of the reg
ular tariff on new machinery of the
same class. A third complaint is
against the Excessive and in some
cases prohibitive" rates on shipments
OF less than carloads by freight and
express on agricultural implements.
The Federal Grand Jury exploded
bomb when 1t returned indictments
against the officers Of the Mississippi
Debenture Company, which has it's
place OF business in Capitol street,
Jackson. The Mississippi Debenture
Company has been under investiga-
ton by the Postofice Department for
some weeks, it being the idea of the
Postoffice officials that the business
done by the company was such as to
bar it from the mails. This inves-
.igation has been quietly in progress
for the last several weeks and a good
deal Of testimony was secured. The
troubles of the Mississippi Debenture
Company seem to have came in ba-
sallions. for some days ago, on appli-
cation of Wesley of Skardon, of New
Orleans, the company was thrown in
the hands of receiver, George B.
Power being appointed. The receiver
was directed to take charge of all
the visible assets Of the company, and
according to the story that is cur
rent the assets consist of about 5000.

To Keep Out the Boil Weevil.

The opinion Of the Supreme judges
declaring the boil weevil bill consti-
tutional is source Of great rejoicing
to the farmers Of Mississippi, who
have become seriously alarmed over
the threatened invasion of this foe to
prosperity Of the South. The ento-
mologist Of the Agricultural College
will now begin an active campaign
to keep out the boil weevi1, and earn
estly requests the cooperation of the
cotton planters all over the state. The
entomologist, who is made the exeeu-
tive officer and charged with the en-
forcement of the boil weevil law, says
it is most important that he should be
notified Immediately if the weevil
should appear in the state during the
coming cotton season. He asks that
the farmers watch for any peculiar
insects or disease of any kind In the
cotton field, and notify him at once
upon its discovery. If possible to do
so, he requests that some Of the in
sects should be inclosed in a tin or
wooden box and sent to him, with the
sender's address.
