Not the Mexican Boil weevlI.

The farmers of Copiah and Lin
coin counties are very much rejoiced
to know that the insects found in
their cotton fields sometime ago,
and which were believed to be the
dreaded boil weevil, are not the wee
vii at all. The entomologist at the
Louisiana experiment station re-
ports to that effect, but states he
does not know what the name of the
bug is, further than that it is a
beetle. What the farmers of Copiah
want to know now is how to get rid

The Railroad Has Appealed.

The Illinois Central Railroad has
appealed the decision of Judge
Niles, involving the stopping of the
fast trains at Magnolia, to the Court
of Appeals at New Orleans. Judge
Niles recently decided that there
was nothing wrong in the decision
of the Railroad Commission order
ing trains Nos. 1 and 3 to stop at
Magnolia, and it was thought that
the matter would end there. The
town, however, will fight the matter
to the end in order to secure suf-
ficicnt railroad accommodations.

Prosperous Year for Truckers.

In spite of late start and unfa-
vorable condition during the early
part of the season, the truck grow
ers and horticulturists of Mississip-
pi have enjoyed one of the most
prosperous years in their history.
The little city of Crystal Springs
has shipped to date 959 carloads of
fruits and vegetables, which is 400
cars more than were ever shipped
from that point in one season. The
same reports come from other points
where the business is conducted on
anything like generous scale, and
the best of it is that prices have
been highly satisfactory. The berry
crop, the first that is shipped from
that section, was curtailed somewhat
by freezes, but was good and there
was little or no loss. Peaches are
now going north in great quantities
from one to five carloads being
shipped per day from some of the
stations along the Illinois Central
railroad.

of the beetle, as they state that it
is doing just as much damage as
the boil weevil could do, and no
matter what its scientific name may
happen to be, it is just as interesting
study from the farmers standpoint
as is the genuine bug, and they are
seriously concerned over their APP
pearance in such numbers as to en-
danger the present crop in several
places.
Weather Bureau at jackson.
A weather bureau is to be estab-
lished in Jackson by the United
States government. An inspector
from the agricultural department
has just completed looking over the
grounds and has taken the prelim-
mary steps towards opening the bu-
reau, which is to be in charge of a
competent man. Under the bill in
troduced by Congressman John
Sharp Williams, and passed at the
recent session Of congress, there are
to be five of these stations estab-
lished, one at Jackson, another at
Columbia, on the Pearl river, two
on Leaf river and one on the Pasca-
goula river. These are to furnish
information especially to lumber
men and farmers.

Cotton Growing Fast.

The weekly crop bulletin of the
weather bureau says:
The mean temperature for the week
was slightly below normal. Showery
weather was general over the State
during the entire week, and in some
localities the rainfall was quite ex-
cessive. The following table shows
the rainfall in inches and hundredths
at twelve stations:
Brookhaven 100, Greenville 1873,
Greenwood Alb, Hazlehurst 0.86, Jack
son LA. Kosciusko 4.88, Lake 3.21,
Meridian 1893, Natchez 2.40, Port Glib
SOD 1877, Vicksburg 2.24, Yazoo City
ITS.
The heavy rains have greatly re-
tarted cultivation, given the grass and
weeds a start and caused lowlands to
overflow; however, on the whole, all
the crops have continued to improve.
Cotton is growing very fast, in many
localities too FAST but it is generally
fruiting nicely, and with favorable
weather cultivation and laying by will
proceed rapidly.
A splendid yield of early corn Is
now practically assured, especially
over the northern and western por-
tions of the State; in many southern
and eastern counties early corn was
somewhat injured by dry weather in
June but it has been materially i'm
proved by the recent rains; late corn
is growing nicely and continues very
promising. Sugar cane, sorghum,
peas, gardens, etc, are doing well;
Irish potatoes, peaches and melons are
making splendid yields. Pastures are
greatly improved.

st. Louis, July GA number of rep
resentatives of the opposition to Judge
Parker met for conference in Mr..
Hearst's headquarters at the Jefferson
hotel and after adjournment gave out
the following statement:
AFTER a consultation among the
managers representing the various can
didates and delegates opposed to the
nomination of Judge Parker it was for
mally agreed among them that the
nomination of Judge Parker is impossi-
BILE. The opposition represents easily
much more than one-third of the votes
In the convention necessary to prevent

support Judge Parker's candidacy I'M
der any circumstances" ST.
The discussion in the conference
and elsewhere developed determined
disposition to make test OF strength
on the first ballot at least before sur
rendering. They claim that even since
the detection of Pennsylvania they
will be able to control 100 votes more
than the one-third necessary to prevent
Parker's nomination, but many of
them concede the impossibility OF
maintaining their full strength through
many successive ballots unless early

1AMMANY CHANGES FRONT
DECIDES NOT TO FURTHER OP.
POSE THE NOMINATION OF
JUDGE PARKER.

st. Louis, July 6.-The meeting of
the New York delegation to the Demo
cratic convention was marked by de-
gree of harmony such as has not pre-
vailed in this delegation for several
presidential conventions. 1t was ru-
mored prior to the meeting that Tam
many had practically decided to retire
fully from its heretofore emphatic op-
position to Judge Parker and this was
partially confirmed by what took place
at the delegation meeting. In the first
place there was no objection to the
selection OF David B. Hill as member
of the committee on resolutions and
this harmonious action was repeated
when State Senator Thomas F. Grady
of Tammany Hall was selected as the
member of the committee on rules and
order of business. Former United
States Senator Edward Murphy, Jr., OF
Troy was made chairman of the dele
cation and Norman E. Mack of Buffalo
was reelected as national committee.
man. James W. Ridgeway of Brooklyn,
a McCarren adherent, was unanimous.
ly selected to represent the state on
the committee on credentials.
The only spice injected into the meet.
ing was the offering of a resolution by
Bourke Cochran providing that in the
opinion of this delegation plain state
ment should be included in the plat
form that the decision of the people on
the money issue as twice exempliied
in two elections should be the final
settlement of the financial question:"
Mr.. Cochran, in speaking to his reso-
luton and urging it's adoption, said
that the financial question, as, present
ed in the two last national platforms,
had been discarded by the people and
that this decision should be the basis
of the financial plank in the new plat
form. On motion the matter was left
in the hands of Senator Hill with
power to act.

Russians Make Desperate But Futile At
tempt to Drive the Japanese From
MaOtien Pass.

Toxic, July 6-General Kuroki re-
ports that two battalions of Russians
attacked the Japanese outposts at Mao
tien pass at dawn on July 4 under
cover of a dense fog. The Russians
were repulsed, but they returned and
charged three times before they were
finally driven off, The Japanese pur-
sued them for three miles to the west
ward of Maotien pass.
The Russians left thirty dead and
fifty wounded on the field. The Jap
anese lost fifteen killed and thirty
wounded.
A detachment of General Kuroki's
army has occupied North Fenshunling

ton: Such a result. 1t is urged, would
be simply following the history record
Of the party at national conventions.
German Vote May Go to Parker.
It is practically conceded that the
German vote, as result of Pennsyl-
vania's action, will be cast on the in
itial ballot for Parker. If this is fol-
lowed by like action on the part of any
other of the recognized candidates
then the result may prove, as some Of
the leaders assert, in an assured NOM
ination before the convention assem-
bles.
Senator German has never been
formally in it," was reply Senator
Henry G. Davis of West Virginia made
to a question as to whether Senator
German was out of the presidential
race. He added that no statement can
be made as to what German will do.
At the same time it is understood that
the delegations from West Virginia,
Maryland and the District of Columbia,
which formed the nucleus of the Cor
man strength, have decided to vote for
Parker.
1t is also known that Ohio is dis
satisfied with the favorite son idea and
will hold q meeting with view of
,, abandoning Harmon and voting for
Parker.

organizing the opposition to Parker as
to prevent his nomination. They
laughed at all suggestions that the

they would be able to draw German

IN FAVOR OF HOPKINS.
National Committee Decides Illinois
Factional Fight.

TSStIoIdi TI9Hls
St. Louis, July 6.-The subcommit-
tee of the national committee which
heard the evidence in the fourteen
contests in the state of Illinois during
the day reported to the national COM
mittee that it was the unanimous opin-
ion of the members of the subcommit-
tee that the Hopkins delegates be al
lowed to retain their seats. The re-
port was concurred in and the Hop
kins people will hold their seats unless
Ousted by the action of the committee
on credentials.
The decision of the subcommittee
was based on the ground that the state
convention was supreme. that fights
in the district caucuses are not proper
matter for adjudication by the national
committee and that it is not the bust
ness of the national convention to go
behind the records of the convention
as submitted to them This shows that
the Hopkins people are the regularly
accredited delegates and because of
this fact the subcommittee gave it's
verdict for them and did not consider
that it had any right to go behind the
returns and take up the evidence SUBJ
mitted.
This attitude OF the national commit
tee sustains the contention of the Hop
kins people, who insisted that the ma
tional committee did not have the
right to decide contests in district eau
cuSeS.
The Harrison and Hearst men were
greatly disheartened by their defeat
and announced their intention of carry
ing the fight before the committee OH
credentials and, if beaten there, be-
fore the convention itself.
The victory of the Hopkins faction
was also defeat for W. J. Bryan.
who has made the fight almost a per-
sonal matter. He attended the hear
ing in the greater part of the contests
and showed his anxiety in every way
to win the seats for the Harrison and

Fifteen Hundred Ready to Register
When Doors Are Opened. >
Bonesteel, s. D., July 6.-The gov
eminent registration books for entire
ment on the Rosebud Indian reserva-
ton we're opened during the day. A
squad of 316 pesons waited through
the night in driving rain to be pres
ent when the registration Office opened.
When Inspector McPhaul opened the
door of the city hall there were about
$500 persons waiting to take their
turns at the registration desks.
J. s. Barnes of New York city was
the first man to be registered, having
taken his position at the hall door at
4 o'clock Monday afternoon. At the
Baptist church, where ladies and old
soldiers were registering, only cor
poral's guard of the men waited
through the night and were on duty at
sunrise. The experiences they had
during their time of service made them
more oblivious to the storm Of the
night than were the younger genera
ton at the city hall. During the night
the veterans sat around on logs which
they had provided for that purpose
and again exchanged experiences OF
the campaigns.
The women began coming as early
as o'clock in the morning and were
placed in line with the old soldiers,
who gallantly gave up their places to
them. Miss Jennie Conway of Omaha
was the first to register at this place
but at 9 O'Clock there were about fifty
women in line and their ranks were
followed by about twenty-five old vet
Grams. Only a few Philippine veterans
were in line.
Special trains are bringing in add
tional hundreds of people.

Slow PROGRESS,

SLOW progress.
Springfield, ILL.,, July ct was after
10 O'Clock before the Populist conven-
ton was called to order and then there
was a long wrangle over the report Of
the committee on credentials.
The report of the committee on per-
manent organization brought forth a
storm of protest from the fusion wing
of the convention, as the report
showed that the middle of the readers
had secured all the Offices of the con-
vention. The report of the committee
was adopted and the following de-
clared the permanent officers of the
convention:
Permanent chairman, ]. M. Mallett
of Texas; permanent secretary, c. E.
de France of Nebraska; assistant Sec
rotary, w. c. Champl of Kansas.
Three from each state were selected
as members of the national committee
and where no state had a representa-
tive in the convention it was decided
that the executive committee appoint
members from those states. .
The committee on platform not be-
ing ready to report recess was taken
until o'clock.
