Governors Veto Sustained.

There was no vote in the House this
morning on the governors veto of the
Holly Springs Normal Bill, as it was
supposed there would be, from the
ruling made by the Speaker at the
session yesterday afternoon. The
Speaker reversed himself and an
nounced that a motion to reconsider
the vote was not in order. This ends
the matter, and the school is not like
ly to get any appropriation.
A point has been raised in regard
to the passage of the Uniform Text
book Bill which gives promise of COM
plicating matters considerably, and
which, if carried to the floor of the
Senate, may result in a reconsidera-
tion of the bill and its defeat,
which the schoolbook lobbyists are so
much bent on. On Monday the Sen
ate Conference Committee reported
back to that body that it had con-
Cured in the House amendments to
the Senate bill, and this report was
adopted and the measure passed. Now
the point is made that the Senate
Committee did not concur in but one
of the amendments to the bill made by
the House, and that touching the per-
sonnel Of the amendments, it is claim
ed, were not considered and were not
included in the report of the Com
mittee. Therefore, the Senate could
not have concurred in them. There
is strong probability that this point
will be raised on the floor of the SEN
ate, and the uniform textbook meas
ure, over which so much labor has
been spent, may yet fail to become a
law.

TOBACCO MONOPOLY.
Will Go Into Effect on July-Lib-
eral Offer.

+ Tokio.-The proposed law relating
to the Government tobacco monopoly
if enacted will go into effect on the 1st
of next July. The manufacture or
sale of japanese cut tobacco will be
allowed to continue until April 49,.
The government proposes to have the
stocks, machines and plants existing
on June 80 next appraised by joint
appraisers. AS compensation for their
"good will" the Government proposes
to pay the manufacturers and dealers
sum equal to their income for three
years as shown by their books. The
sum which will be required to launch
the monopoly has not yet been deter
mined, but the Government proposes
to make large payment in bonds. 1t
is thought the only new customs duty
will be on sugar. Unless the conven-
tional tariffs interfere, it is probable
that tariff will be levied on wooden
stuffs.

Whitecaps Convicted.

Helena, Ark The jury in the Fed
eral Court brought in a verdict Of
guilty against three of the Poinsett
County whitecaps and released the re-
naming twelve. The convicted men
are believed by the jury to have been
the ringleaders in the mob that com
PEELED a lot of negro workmen to
leave the saw mill of Davis & Hodges,
near Whitehall, Poinsett County. Up
on the completion of the Poinsett
County case, the case against eleven
Cross County men charged with the
same offense, was begun. The cases
from Cross County are almost identi-
cal with the one from Poinsett, only
more serious, in that murder is alleg-
ed to have been, committed by the
Cross County men, who are charged
with having killed j. H. Brown, a
private detective of Memphis, who
was investigating the whitecap out

FRIDAY.

This afternoon the Senate passed
the House Bill confirming the merger
of the Mobile and Ohio Railroad with
the Southern. This bill was debated
nearly all the morning, and in some
respects the debate was the most
acrimonious that has taken place dur
ing the session. Former Attorney
Gnerai McClufe came in FOR some crit
icism at the hands Of the opponents
of the bill.
The House this afternoon elected j.
H. Sharpe, Of towndes, as its member
of the commission to build the new
Deaf and Dumb Asylum, and the Sen
ate elected L. f. Chiles, of this city, as
its member. Both the Senate and
House passed number of local bills
this afternoon.
The House this morning again re.
fused to pass the boundary fee bill.
The bill was 'reconsidered by the
House on a motion of Mr.. Brown, of
Adams, and an amendment offered,
but when it came to pass it failed to
receive the constitutional majority
There seems little hope for the pass
age of the bill during the present ses-
sion, and the attorneys will have to
wait two years and see what the legis-
lature will do then. In. the meantime
the suit will have been decided.

THURSDAY.

The House this afternoon passed
the Senate Chancery Redistricting
Bill, which provides for one addition
al chancellor. 1t also passed the SEN
ate resolution providing that the leg
islature shall adjourn on March %.
Another important measure acted on
was the Senate bill changing the pres
ent Local Option Law and requiring
that petition for local option cleo
ton shall be ON file for thirty days
before it is acted upon.
The Senate indefinitely postponed
the bill to issue bonds to refund the
Chickasaw School fund. 1t passed the
House bill fixing the State levy at
mills and voted down an amendment
to make the levy 6 1-2 mills. This is
the same levy as this year. 1t also
passed the House bill making it un-
lawful for any state or county officer
to take any funds intrusted to his care
out of the state. The Senate receded
from its amendment to the Code bill
in regard to the way that the commits
sioners are to be- selected. The gov
ernor will have the appointing of all
of them.
To-day was the last day under the
Constitution that the legislature could
pass appropriation bills. There are
one or two little ones hanging fire, anc
in order to get around the Constitu.
tion both houses, when they adjourned
this afternoon, took a recess, so thai
when they meet tomorrow it will bt
the same legislative day as to-day.
In the House tomorrow an effort
will be made to reconsider the vote
whereby the Boundary Dispute Fes

Tedious Deliberation. Boundary

MONDAY.

Very little business was done in
either house this morning. The House
reconsldered its action on the bill
which was sent sent over from the
Senate, to pay to DIR. j.. f. Hunter
$1,000 for vaccine points purchased by
HIM as Secretary of the State Board
OF Health for use in the various coun-
ties. The Senate passed the boil wee
VII bill this morning, but cut the
House appropriation in two.
In the House and Senate this after
noon the conference agreement on uni
form textbooks was. adopted. This
has the effect of passing the bill and
making it law when it receives the
governors signature. The bill pro-
vides that the governor shall appoint
eight prominent educators, who, with
the State Superintendent of Educa-
ton, shall constitute the commission.
The adoption of the report gives the
book lobby bad rundown. The lob
by has been fighting the House amend
ments, not desiring to have commits
sion appointed by the governor. When
the report came up for action in the
Senate this afternoon number of
members tok a crack at the lobby,
saying that it was Infamous, one
member stating that the lobby had got
SO bold that one of its members kick
ed him on the shin to remind him to
vote. a. "a. "a. ..s.ws ssas .sss.
The House passed the Graves Bill,
making the selling illegally of whiskey
a felony, punishable by Imprisonment
in the penitentiary after the first Of
tense. The Senate failed to pass the
House amendment providing for the
election of Judges by the people. The
House and Senate have both passed
such amendments, and the House
some days ago killed the Senate
amendment, and now the Senate kills
the House amendment, which means
that no amendment will be submitted
to the people next fall.
The veto message Of the Governor
on the Holly Springs Normal Bill will
come up tomorrow morning in the
House, and some lively times are ex-
pected. 1t is understood tonight that
the Marshal county delegation is split
on the veto. Two members of the
House will vote to pass The bill over
the governors veto, while the other
will vote ts sustain the governors s
veto.

SATURDAY.

The afternoon trains carried num-
ber of the Mississippi lawmakers to
their homes. Though the session will
not be brought to close until Tues
day at / O'Clock, the members real
ize that no business of Importance
is to be transacted during Monday
and Tuesday, the only object of the
of the meeting being to allow the
speaker and president to sign the bills
that have been favorably acted upon,
and those who had business at home
that demanded their presence and at
tention left on the first evening
trains.
All legislation was finished today,
what measures have now not been
disposed of are dead. 1t is highly
probable that there will not be a
working quorum present Monday or
Tuesday, but as any number can meet
and adjourn, this is all that is necas-
sary and all that is desired to keep
the journal and records of the session
straight. Monday afternoon and
Tuesday morning there will be the
usual social meetings, presentation of
presents to presiding officers, and 9th
ers, farewell psrtings and funmaking.
The Senate this morning, after a
lengthy debate, declined to reconsid-
er the vote on the merger bill author
izing the merger of the M. and O.,
and Southern roads.
The Senate and House today passed
the resolution authorizing the sale of
the lands bought by the trustees of the
state hospital for the insane, about
which so much has been said and so
many reports made.

No Poetry In 1t For Him.

To him was just . snowflake. Still
Why blame him II his soul was not
Filled up with ecstacy by what
Might once have been a maiden's tearf
To him the wintry days were drear.
He longed for sunny climes and fair;
He hated ics- Slasts: the air
That bit his rs and nipped his nose
Meier plunged him In ecstatic throeS.

The House this morning reconsider
ed its vote on the Senate Boundary
Dispute Bill and adopted an amend
ment, offered by Mr.. Brooks, of Nox-
ubee, putting the amount that the at
torneys are to receive at $4,000 if
they are successful. The bill was then
killed, the vote being rs to IL. No
motion was entered to reconsider the
vote whereby the bill was lost. 1t
looks very doubtful now whether
there will be any money appropriated
for attorneys fees in this case.
The House this afternoon refused to
displace its calendar and take up the
redistricting bills. 1t also killed the
Senate bill appropriating $4,000 for
the State Revenue Agent to investi-
gate the books Of the Board of Con-
troll and the different benevolent in
stitutions.
The Senate spent most all day in
discussing the Insurance Bill, passed
by the House some time ago, taking
the valued policy law off cotton and
personal property. The bill was
amended in some particulars, the most
important being that company which
takes litigation out of the state courts
and carries it to the Federal courts
forfeits its license. The bill was pass
ed by the Senate and now goes to the
House concurrence in the amend
ments.

TUESDAY.

The most interesting thing in the
House this afternoon was the decision
of Speaker Thomas to the effect that
it was permissible for the House to
reconsider its vote on the Holly
Springs Normal Bill, which the gov
ernor vetoed, and which failed to pass
over his veto at the morning session.
This opens up the question for to-mor-
row, and it is stated tonight that on
tomorrow the vote whereby the veto
vas not sustained will be called up
and another attempt will be made to
pass the bill. The. veto message and
the action of the House to-day is all
the talk of the city, and added inter-
est is being lent to the affair by reason
of the fact that it is to come up again
tomorrow.
Bond Bill Passes Senate.
The Senate spent all the morning
in discussing the Bond Bill recently
passed by the House, providing for an
issuance of $500,0OO Of State bonds.
Efforts were made to amend the bill,
first by raising the amount to be is
sued to $1,000,000, and then by cut
ting down the House amount to $125,-
600. The latter amendment was only
lost by one vote, Senator Scott chang
ing his vote, which killed it. The
bill was then passed just as it came
from the House.
Against Child Labor.
Among the important bills passed
by the House this afternoon was the
Child Labor Bill, which has been
championed by the Kings Daughters.
The bill prohibits the working Of chill
dren under II years of age in any fac
tory in this state, and further pro-
hibits children under IA years work

New York. Sept. IS Seven persons in
one family were burned to death and six
others were injured seriously in fire
which partially destroyed a tenement
building at Nos $50 First street early

of bravery accompanied their rescue
which was accomplished by iremcn and
the police.
Police Captain McDcrmott and tho
fircmen who first reached the burning
building said the fire was OF iuccndiary
origin. This statement is borne out by
the statements of the ianitor Of the build
ing, who says that am attempt was madp
to set fire To the tenement last Thurs
day.
\ woman who lives across the street
from the tencmclt house says that short
" before the blaze broke forth in the
