his neighbors and brought him into

the state, Jefferson City at that time
was In the hands Of the Federal troops.

gress. At this time be was IAN intimate
associate and trusted adviser of the
leaders Of the Confedefacy. ii was said

that he probably knew more Of the in
ternal history Of the Confederacy than
any other living man.
With the surrender at Appoma ttox
and the collapse of the Confederacy.
Vest returned to private life iii Mis-
souri,. Here he formed a partnership
with John s. Phillips, who had served

OF all sorts who poured into the fertile
country after the desolation Of the war
was over.

Senator Vest continued his activity in
politics. In 1879 he took his seat at

ence increased the effect Of his words.
One Of the most remarkable incidents
Of Senator Vests long career was lis |

which political differences were never
permitted to affect In spite of this
friendship when Quay was appointed

tor Vest voted against him and by his
vote excluded his friend.

EXILES FROM TELLURIDE
The Expatriated Will Complain to
 Governor Peabody Today.

Denver, March 16.-The delegation of deported miners from Telluride ar rived here today and held a conference with officials of the Western Fedora ton of Miners. The meeting was in secret. and nothing was given out con- corning the discussions. It is reported that the matter of deportation of the union men from Telluride will be brought officially to the attention of Governor Peabody tomorrow,
 Inst what action will be asked of the governor, however, cannot be learned tonight. A. H. F'loaten, president of the Peoples Supply company of Tel hIri6e, who was forced to leave there along with the union miners. was one of the arrivals here. He was wearing the same clothing he wore when he was compelled to leave his home, and the bloody condition of his garments testified to his encounter with the mob. His head was heavily bandaged to con ceal the cuts and bruises made by a revolver in the hands of a member of tle mob. Dispatches from Telluride tonight say that two more union men were ordered to leave town by tomor- row noon. After consulting with their attorneys they decided to obey the edict. This is the only change in the conditions there.

THE NEGRO QUESTION
Raised by Mississippi Member Who Contends That the Lynching nobs of the South Are More Gentle Than Those of the North.

Washington, March 16.-In the house today during the discussion of the postoffice appropriation bill, MT. Spight of Mississippi discussed the negro question and declared unjust the at tacks on the people of the south, who had been charged with brutality and barbarism toward the colored race. Comparing the lynchings and burn ings at the stake which had occurred in the south with those in the north, he said the people in the south. in meting put punishment to a negro who had committed a fiendish crime never followed it up with violence toward defenseless children and women as had been done in the north.
 He declared that President Roosevelt by inviting Booker Washington to dine at the White House had done more to inname the passions of the negro and to give him a perverted idea of his importance and his near approach to social equality than anything that had been done for the past ten years.

 MT. Flood of Virginia denied that Perry s. Heath was entitled to credit 1 for inaugurating the rural free deliv- ! cry. He said Heath made the claim notwithstanding the fact that he had not yet emerged from the postoffice scandal with a name as unstained as Alpine snows thrice bleached by north ern blasts"

LONG WAR CONTEMPLATED.
The Baltic Fleet Will Not Sail Until
 July.

Parls. March 16.-The Tokio cor respondent of the Matin sends this in formation. which he says comes from reliable authority. concerning the Ja- parese military situation up to Marcn 10th:
 The first army of 70,00O troops, ua- der General Kuroki, occupies northern Korea. The brigade landed at Gen San forms part of a second army Of similar strength. The mobilization of the latter has been completed and the troops will sail shortly for an un- known destination.'
 The Echo de Paris publishes a des- patch from it's St. Petersburg corre- spOndent. which says that the idea of the Russian Baltic squadron going to the far east by the northeast passage has been given up as too risky. The fleet will probably start in July and go hy way of the Cape of Good Hope.
