EVERY MONTH
COMMERCE OF THE UNITED

NON-CONTICUOUS LANDS
Receive Heavy Shipments From This
Country. Volume of Business for
the Full Fiscal Year viii Aggre-
gate $1OO,OOO,OOO.


Washington-Com of the Unit
ed States, with its non-contiguous ter
rltory, now averages about $S,000,000
per month, and it is apparent that for
the full fiscal year it will aggregate a
round $100,00O,OOO. In the term "non-
contiguous" territory are included
Alaska, the Hawaiian Islands, the
Philippine Islands, Guam, Tutuila,
and Porto Rico Records of their
shipments to the ports of the United
States and of shipments from the va
rious ports to them are now regularly
presented by the Department Of Com
merce and Labor through its Bureau
of Statistics.
These records show that the ship
ments from the United States to Alas
ka, Hawaii, Porto Rico, the Philip
pines, Guam and Tutuila aggregated
in the seven months ending with Jan
uary, 1904, nearly $21, 100000 and the
merchandise received from them in the
same period nearly $31, 100000. If to
this is added the gold bullion received
from Alaska, the grand total of our
commerce with the territory in ques-
tion for the seven months ending with
January would amount to nearly $780,
100000, which makes it quite apparent
that for the fiscal year ending with
June 30 next the total will be fully
800. .OOO.OOO

LEAKEsvIlLf GREENE COUNTY MISS. FRIDAY
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
Gneral McClurg came in for some crit
icism at the hands of the opponents
of the bill.
The House this afternoon elected j.
III. Sharpe, of Lowndes, 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.

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


Toxic. o.-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 10
The government proposes to have the
stocks, machines and plants existing
on June 80 next appraised by joint
appraisers. AS compensation for their
"good Wi" F." the Government proposes
to pay the manufacturers and dealers
a 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.

LEGISLATORS
ARE THROUGH
SIGNING OF BILLS ALL THAT
REMAINS TO BE DONE.
THE MERGER NATTER.
Served as a Stormy Climax to the
Tedious Deliberation. Boundary
Fee Bill Again Refused Passage.
MONDAY.

Very little business was done in
either house, this morning. The House
reconsidered its action on the bill
which was sent sent over from the
Senate, to pay to DR.. J. F. Hunter
$1,000 for vaccine points purchased by
him as Secretary of the State Board
of Health for use in the various eoun-
ties. The Senate passed the boil wee
wi 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 S 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 a 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.
The House passed the Graves Bill,
making the selling illegally of whiskey
a felony, punishable by Imprisonment
in the penitentiary after the first Of
fense. 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. It 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 to sustain the governor s
veto.

There was no vote in the House this
morning on the governors s 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 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
plcating matters considerably, and
which, if carried to the floor Of the
Senate, may result in a reconsidera-
ton 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, fhe Senate could
not have eoncurred in them. There
is a 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

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 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 biz
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, and
in order to get around the Constitu-
ton both houses, when they adjourned
this afternoon, took recess, so that
when they meet tomorrow it will be
the same legislative day as to-day.
In the House tomorrow an effort
will be made to reconsider the vote
whereby the Boundary Dispute Fee
Bill was lost.

SATURDAY.

The afternoon trains carried a uum-
ber of the Mississippi lawmakers. to
their homes. Though the session will
not be brought to a close until Tues
day at l 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 neces-
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 partings 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.
