No Peonage in the County of Kempe,

No Peonage in the County Of Kemper.
The story going the rounds Of the
daily press with reference to peonage
in Kemper county, is said to be with
out foundation. Prominent men at
DeKalb, the county-seat, and in the
immediate vicinity of where the crime
is said to have been committed, deny
the story. Mr.. Lazette, the gentle
man charged with having committed
peonage, is one of the most prominent
and highly-respected citizens of tho
southwestern part of the county. Mr..
Henry Shots, said to be the inform
ant in the case, is we'll known. Alto,
gether there seems to be no grounds
for the sensational stir being made
over the matter.

FRIDAY.

The House this morning reconsid-
cred its action on the Bond Bill, and
the same was passed. 1t provides for
an issue Of bonds to the amount of
100000 at 3 1-2 per cent, the same to
be taken up after ten years, if deemed
advisable.
Notwithstanding the session is draw
ing to close, the introduction of bills
continues, there being quite number
introduced in the House this morn
ing.
The Senate did very little this morn
ing. 1t passed the House bill for the
support Of the Vicksburg Hospital.
The Senate this afternoon reconsid-
cred the vote whereby it passed the
Boundary Dispute Fee Bill, which car
ries with it an appropriation of $751;
900 for attorneys fees and $4,000 for
expenses. 1t also has in it provis-
ion that the Oyster Commission is to
pay another $4,000 for attorneys
fees. The bill was debated nearly all
the afternoon in the Senate and was
reconsidered, and a committee ap-
pointed to look into the matter and
see if the bill as at present drawn pro-
vldes that the money should be a con-
tingent fee or whether it was a
straight fee. Some Of the lawyers in
the Senate took the position that as
soon as the bill received the signature
Of the governor the lawyers could get
their money, whereas it was not de-
signed that they should do this. The
Senate seems to have trouble with this
bill, as this is the second special COM
mittee.
A few local bills were passed by. the
Senate after it got through debating
the Boundary Bill.
The House spent the afternoon in
passing a few unimportant measures.

EQUALITY
In Pullman Sleepers Asked for by Ne

W hlte /
10th, 1904.

Chicago-At a meeting Of the COM
mittee having charge Of the arrange
ments Of the general conference of
the African Methodist church, which
is to be held in Chicago in May, it was
decided to ask President Robert l..
Lincoln, Of the Pullman Company, to
grant to colored people equal rights
in sleeping and dining cars while trav-
cling through the south. Large num-
bers of the delegates from the south
are expected to attend the conference
and the railroads have planned to pro-
vide special sleeping and dining cars
for their use. It was decided at the
meeting of the committee today that
the plans would not be satisfactory.
The appeal to President Lincoln will
be based on the general rights OF In
terstate passengers.

This afternoon the Senate confer
ence committee on the uniform text
book bill notified the conference COM
mlttee from the House that they
would accept the House amendment to
the Senate uniform text book bill and
Monday the committee will so make
their report. The disagreement arose
over the school book commission, the
senate bill providing that the attorney
general, superintendent Of education
and governor should select the COM
mission. The house amended the bill
providing that the governor shall ap-
point the commission. The senate re-
fused to accept this amendment and
though many conferences have been
held, the two hare been at dead
lock until this afternoon. The bill
now comes up In The Senate and
hard fight will be made there for its
passage. The House spent the entire
morning discussing bills ., rivate ma
ture.
The Senate this afternoon passed a
bill appropriating $59,76O for beauti-
flying the capitol grounds and fur
nlshing the building.

LEADING ROLE
Proposed for United States in the Far
East

Berlin. William Grunow, editor Of
Die Grenzeboten Of Leipsic, in analyz-
ing the play Of international interests
in the Far East, says the late field
marshal, Won Waldersee, after his re-
turn from China, often talked with
his close friends on the certainty that
the United States would have a lead
ing role there. His solicititude for
the future interests Of Germany was
also connected with the United States ;
position in Far Eastern affairs.
Herr Grunow does not say where
Won Waldersee IS utterances and the
editors begin, but the article contin-
ues:
''The United States attitude to-
wards Japan is understandable be-
cause of her commercial relations with
Japan and Manchuria,' and by reason
of her aspiration to the hegemony Of
the Pacific. If the United States
should maintain her claims to pre-
dominance in the Pacific she must
reckon with Japan either as a friend
or an enemy. For the moment the
United States interests require friend
ly relations with Japan, taking into
consideration the limited strength Of
the American navy and the existence
Of the Brithish-Japanese alliance. For
time this alliance will check Ameri-
can hegemony on the Asiatic side of
the Pacific
The editor regards an American
British-Japanese alliance as a posi-
bility.

$25O.OOO RECOMMENDED.
S25G,000 Recommended. Bill to Di-

and Chancery Districts, With Coun-
ty Site, McComb City to be Fought.
MONDAY.

There was a food of oratory in the
senate this morning, the occasion be-
ing the General Pension Bill, which
came over from the house a few days
ago. The House bill fixed the amount
to be disbursed in pensions by the
state at $250,000. The senate wanted
to do Just twice as much for the vet
Grams as the House, and after consid-
cradle debate an amendment was
adopted fixing the amount to be dis
bursed at 100000, or 100000 for
the next two years. The amendment
was adopted, but when it came to the
passage Of the bill, it failed to pass,
as there was only slim attendance
IN the Senate, and 1T did not receive
the number of votes that the consti-
tuition requires. A motion was made
to reconsider and it will be passed
later The Deaf and Dumb and the
Insane Hospital Bills were passed by
the Senate.
In the House the resolution intro
duced on Saturday providing for sine
die adjournment on March Is was
adopted. A similar resolution was
introduced in the Senate, but it was
moi acted on. A large number Of un-
important bills were passed by the
House at the morning session. 1t IN
definitely postponed bill to increase
the salaries Of judges and chancel-
lors. 1t also passed the Senate bill
taking the governor off the Board of
Trustees of the various institutions.
The House this afternoon, after
spirited debate, passed the bill divid
ing Pike county into two circuit and
chancery court districts, with the
county site for the new district at
McComb City. The bill now goes to
the Senate for action, and it will be
vigorously fought there.
The Senate spent a good part of the
evening in discussing a bill to license
"pistol toters," and killed it, only
four votes being recorded In it's favor.

THE PRESIDENT
ON NEUTRALITY
IN AN ORDER ISSUED TO GOV
ERNMENT OFFICIALS,
MUST OFFEND NO NATION
Is the Gist Of His Appeal Deplorcs
Breaking Out of Hostilities and
Hopes That the War Will be Speed
lily Terminated.

! Washington President Roosevelt,
after conference with Secretary of
State Hay, has issued the following
executive order respecting the obser-
vance Of the proclamation recently
promulgated declaring the neutrality
of the United States between Russia
and Japan, the two combatant snations
IN the far Eastern war now in pro-
gTess:
All officials Of the government, civ
il, military and naval, are hereby di-
rected not only to observe the Preei-
dents proclamation Of neutrality in
the pending war between Russia and
Japan, but also to abstain from either
action or speech which can legitimate
ly cause irritation to either Of the
combatants. The government of the
United States represents the people
Of the United States rot only with the
sincerity with which it is endeavor-
ing to keep the scales Of neutrality
CAoIC anu CVCli, UuO Will VIC
with which it deplores the breaking
out of the present war and hopes it
will end at the earliest possible mo-
ment and with the smallest loss to
those engaged. Such war inevitably
increases and infames the suscepti-
bilities Of the combatants to anything
in the nature of an injury or slight
by outsiders. Too often combatants
make conflicting claims as to the du-
ties and obligations of neutrals, so
that even when discharging these du-
ties and obligations with scrupulous
care, it is difficult to avoid giving Of
tense to one or the other party. To
such unavoidable causes of offense,
due to the performance Of national
duty, there must not be added any
avoidable causes. 1t is always unfor-
tunate to bring old world antipathies
and jealousies into our life, or by
speech or conduct to excite anger and
resentment toward our nation in for
eign lands that are friendly; but in
government employe, whose official
position makes him in some sense the
representative of the people, the mis-
chief of such action is greatly in
creased. A strong and self confident
nation should be peculiarly careful
not only of the rights, but of the sus-
capabilities Of its neighbors; and
nowadays all of the nations of the
world are neighbors one to another.
Courtesy, moderation and self-re-
straint should mark international no
less than private intercourse.
All Of the officials of the govern
ment, civil, military and naval, are
expected to carry themselves both in
act and deed so as to give no just
cause for offense to the people of any
friendly power and with all man
kind we are now in friendship.
