Young Peoples Union and the
social interest Occasioned by the
delightful reception to the visi-
tors on Wednesday, the meeting
of the Reading Circle yesterday.
and finally the very pretty and
elaborate musical comedy of last
evening, the days will be robbed
of all that makes them nOtewOr-
thy, for in these three events lie
the claims against an usurping
quiet. The reception Wednes-
day evening was charming ia ar
rangement and det d j |. T h e
church, whose admirable archi-
lecture, suggestive Of colonial
days, has recently been so at
tractively emphasized and ap-
pears in it's first freshness, was
decorated with artistic touch,
particularly effective being the
lecture room, wherein blue and
white, the cOlOrS of the Union,
predOminated and were charac-
terized by graceful design. Tete,
a-tete tables, scattered through
out the room, were Overlaid with
handsome drawn work. and had
as centerpieces tall vases filed
with snowy chrysanthemums. A
salad course with coffee was
served. The reception party in
cluded Miss Mary Mayo, Miss
Annie Lide, Miss ROden, Miss
Augusta Sykes, Miss Sue May
Lincoln, Mrs. Everett Jacob and
MIR. CIegg. A feature of the
evening was the musical pro
gram to which Miss McClanahan,
Miss Nell Sanders. Miss Rich
ardsOn, a male quartette, and
Mr.. Earl Burris as violin SOloist
contributed most pleasing nu M
bers. The reception in its en-
tirety was a lovely courtesy
slipped in the midst of busy days
of the State convention, days
marked by encouraging reports
of labOrs in the past that seem an
earnest Of the organization S en-
larged and splendid future effort.
The death of Miss Clara Con
way comes as a personal loss to
many in Columbus, who admired
her brilliant intellectually and
rare gifts, who loved her for the
tender, wOmanly nature that ac-
com panied them. The Com mer-

menting editorially upon her
death, makes beautiful reference
to the fullness and glory of her
life, declaring she was woman

whose life was an inspiration. >

Aldrich, Mrs. Robert Belts,

past few days on a visit to his
father. Capt. r. r. Spiers.
The final session of the con-
vention was held at 7:30 o'clock
Thursday evening, and addition
al interest centered in this meet
ing on account of the fact that
there were present about 80
students of the Industrial Insti-
tute and College, a special invita-
tion having been extended the
students of Baptist faith to meet
with the convention at this time.
The first thing on the program
was an address by Hon. VIM.
Ray Toombs, of Greenville. who
selected as his subject, In the
World for Work. " Mr.. TOom bs
is a prominent member of the
Greenville bar, and his address
teemed with elOquence and
fights Of impassioned oratory.
From both a literary and foren-
sic standpoint it was superb
effort, and was greatly enjoyed
by all who listened to it. Mr..
ToOmbs was followed by Rev. II.
@. Raymond, of Winona, who
spoke on "Consecration for Ser
vice. The address was an able
one, as was also that of Rev. w.
T. Lowery, of Clinton, who spoke
on Rewards of Service. F" Mr..
Lowery is president of Missis-
sippi College, and is recognized
as one of the leading educators
of the State. His address was
one of the most learned that was
delivered during the progress of
the convention. and at its cOnclu-
sion he was warmly congratulate
ed by his friends, to whom his
talk brought both pleasure and
profit.
The members of the cOnven-
ton were enthusiastic in their
praise of Columbus and the hos
pitable treatment which they re-
ceived at the hands of the people,
and as a token of their apprecia-
ton Secretary l.. p Leayell in
troduced the following resolu-
tions, which were unanimously
adopted:
Resolved. That the thanks of
the sixth annual convention of
the Mississippi B. Y. 2. U. be
extended to the pastor and mem
bers of the First Baptist church
of Colum bus and their friend S
for their generous and warm
hearted hospitality
Second That the splendid
way in which the entertainment
committee planned, and the close
and careful attention given to
the com fort of the delegates, and
the delightful re ptiOn Of
Wednesday evening with it's mu-
sical program and refreshments,
are all striking illustration to
US of the good service a B. Y. z.
u. can render.

H. H. THOMAS DRoPs DEAD.
Recently Removed from 1mportan, Federal Post.

Federal Post.
 Chicago. March 17.--0eneral H. H. Thomas, who was recently busted as fed erai appraiser at the port of Chicago, dropped dead today Heart disease Is sup- posed to be the cause.
 This removal of General Thomas from ofiice a few weeks ago was one of the most picturesque incidents known in politics here. Seated under the folds of the United States flag. General Thomas re mained at his desk, refusing to give, way until dispossessed by the actual arrival of his successor. Lyman T. Hoy, who vas the manager of the campaign that result ed in the election of United States Sena- tor A. ]. Hopkins. The reason assigned for his removal was the advisabiiity of securing more vigorous man for the office, but Gen. Thomas maintained the motive for the change was purely poiiti- cal.
 The death of General Thomas was as dramatic as his removal. He had served in the civil war. but had never made an application for pension. Although in re- ceipt of other income. today after inef- fectual efforts to secure other employ ment, he was In q lawyers office prepar- ing papers for an application. for pen sion. It was while thus engaged that General Thomas fell dead. He was .7o years old.
 General Thomas was appointed apprals- CT of the port of Chicago by President Mckinley several years ago and served continuously until removed from the DO. sItlon by President Roosevelt within ths last month. The deceased was adjutant- general under Governor Brownlow. oi Tennessee in the civil war and was sub sequently speaker of the Illinois iesisia- tur0.

FRANCE AND ENGLAND
COME TO UNDERsTANDTNa AS
 TO NEW FoUNDLAND.
Negotiations in Regard to Morocco, Egypt and Siam Progressing Towards Mutually Satis-
 factory Settlement.

Paris, March 17.-It Is asserted positive ly in authoritative quarters that both the form and substance of the agreement be- tween France and Great Britain in con- cerning New Foundland, have been con cluded.
 The offlcials say this is the only colo nial issue which has advanced to defi- nite conclusion. although the negotiations relating to Morocco. Egypt and Siam are progressing in such satisfactory man. ner as to promise early conclusions sim 7llar to those in the case of New Found land.
 The differences over New Foundland are of long standing, Great Britain claim ing that the French right to occupy a strip of New Foundland shore without payment of taxes and without being sub ject to New Foundland laws has pre- vented the proper exercise of provincial authority. It Is understood that the French territorial rights are relinquished but the rights of off-shore fishing are retained, thus permitting New Found land to exercise authority throughout the island.
 Concerning Morocco. it is expected that the negotiations will result in giving France a free hand in Northwest Afri- ca, thus permitting the development and extension of the French colonial empire westward from Algeria.
 Much significance is being attached tC the settlement of these differences al the present time. as 1t Is considered tC be a practical realization of the friend ships established under the pale of ths French arbitration treaty. and also Gi an assurance that the Russo JapanGs, l war has not had the effect of disturblna the relations between the allies of the two belIigerents.

THE REPUBLICAN PLAN
COMMITTEE OF THE
 SENATE MEETS.
Appropriation Bills will Be Pressed to Front and Matters Which May Cause Strife
 Avoided.

Washington. March 1.-The Republi- can Steering Committee of the Senate to-day decided to press appropriation bills to the front, sidetrack all Iegisla- tion likely to endanger party strife, and then, if the session is prolonged, place the responsibility for the delay on the Democrats.
 One of the members of the committed earnestly advocated adjourning by April l5, but it was agreed that this would be impossible.
 The committee discussed an. order oi business for the rest of the session and decided to sidertack the general building measures, the several labor bills. the Hep burn Deliver liquor bill and all similar legislation.
 The meeting to-day was the first ses- sion the steering committee has held for the purpose of deciding on an adjourn ment plan.
 It Is said one of the reasons for meet ing at this early day was the issuance of Iegislatlva orders in lieu of service pension legislation which removed one of the principal factors which lengthen the session of Congress.
 It had been known that members of the House were urging that a service pension bill be enacted and that their insistance would result in delay of final adjournment With this out of the way and nearly all other obstacles to early adjournment removed. there Is believed by the steering committee to be less Ike lthood for a demand for congressional in- vestigation of the postoffice and otheI departments.

 Peter the Great.
 St: Petersburg, March 1.-The charges against the Japanese of violating the rules of civilized warfare in using ex- plosives forbidden by the Hague Conven- hon, find no echo in responsible circles here. The Japanese are acquitted on that score by high naval officer who hc Ids a very responsible position, and V'ho said today:
 ''The accusation against the Japanese O. using explosives to produce poisonous gases is based on misconception. They are employing the same explosives as other armies and navies. It fs notorious that the bursting of a melinite shell be- tween decks generates fumes from which the men are liable to asphyxiation. but the Russian shell is no better and no verse than that used by the Japanese. We have no complaint in this respect whatever we may think about the man Ter in which the Japanese began hostil- ltjes."
 The wife of Grand Duke Constantine Is preparing 17.OO0 Easter eggs, in order to provide each sailor in the Far East With a souvenir. Each egg will contain B portrait of the Emperor, a book, soap and towel, a tobacco pouch, note paper. etc.. wrapped in a handkerchief bearing pictures of Peter the Greats boat and of Russian naval victories. The eggs will be sent to the Far East in order to arrive there in due season. bureau will be established here to give informa- ton to relatives of Japanese prisoners and to undertake the delivery of letters and the safe keeping until claimed of ef- fleets and letters found on the battlefield or remaining in the hospitals after the neath of prisoners
