LATE MISSISSIPPI NEWS.
The Bond Issue.

There is no Disgusting the fact that
Governor Vardaman is confronted
with an uncomfortable and perplex-
ing problem in the present revenue out
look, and that he is not bit encour-
aged over the poor prospects for a
lively bond sale on July 8, the date
set for selling the half-million dollar
issue Of bonds authorized by the last
legislature. Of course, failure to
sell the bonds would require an extra
session Of the legislature Immediately,
in order to provide funds for the cur
rent expenditures, and an extra ses-
sion of the legislature is not by any
means to be desired; yet the POSSIBLE
ity of this very contingency is already
being quietly discussed in the capt.
toll among those familiar with the rev.
enue conditions.

Chefoo. japanese land forces

shots upon the settlement, sank a

Decline in Construction.

Chicago, Ill.-Railroad building in
the United States for 1904 shows a
calling off in comparison with the cor
responding periods of 1902 and 1908.
Increased operating expenses and de-
creased traffic, resulting in small net
earnings, together with the continued
stringency in the money market, sup
.,ly the explanation of the decline in
Construction. From official report re-
,eived by the Railway Age, it appears
Mat 1887 miles of track was complet-
I'd during the first six months Of the
gear on 1874 lines in thirty-three states
and territories. In the first six months
Of last year 2221 miles track were
laid, while for the entire year Of 1903,
it amounted to five seven eight miles.

AS the glasses were set before them

up their hands. Reaching quickly I'M

Instantly the shooting began. Lane
was struck by one Of the first bullets
and reeled to the door. Ragal fell
behind the bar with a wound in his

lice arrived

Big Increase in Acreage.

Franklin, Va.-Owing to the very
late spring and continued cool wealth
err, cotton has been slow of growth,
but, under the present favorable con-

New Railroad Projected.

Seemingly the project to build a
movement is on foot to organize a
stock company to carry it out. Less
than forty miles of track is required
between the two places, which will
effect a connection with the Mobile,
Jackson and Kansas City Railroad, a
part Of the Frisco system. A Luce
dale capitalist has offered to take $780,
600 of the 100000 stock necessary.
It is expected the sawmill owners and
business men Of this and the neigh
boring towns will subscribe the full
amount. The route will lead through a
heavily timbered and fourishing farm
ing region.

The last week has been especially ia

insects of any kind reported, and the

SOUTHERN
BUSINESS FINE
OUTLOOK rs EXCELLENT IN
MANY SECTIONS.
TRADE IN FINE SHAPE
Inc international Mercantile Agency
says This Section Has Become the
Brightest Spot in the Whole Coun-
try. Outlook is Generally Hopeful.

New York. to the Inter
national Mercantile Agency indicate
that heavy rainfall in sections of the
Southwest has proved detriment to
general business. This, however, will
more than be compensated for thor
ough benefit to the crops. Although
Jobbing interests still complain of
slow trade, results already achieved
are better,than year ago with promise
OF increased July volume. The out
look is excellent in sections tributary
to st. Louis.
Boot and shoe manufacturers still
have more work than they can attend
to. Millinery has not been SO good
demand this week. Hats and caps
are showing up we'll and orders from
country districts suggest increased con-
sumption of groceries and drug sun
dries. AS soon as the presidential
campaign takes definite shape, an ele-
ment of uncertainty which has i'm
portant bearing upon the general bust
ness situation will be eliminated.
The South become last week the
brightest spot in the whole country SO
far as sustained trade and general
consumption is concerned. Texas re-
ports heavy business in retail buy
ing at a period which is usually re-
garded as the dullest Of the year
Louisville is showing up we'll with
average conditions fully equal to last
year. Chicago wholesalers are doing
fair trade in general merchandise.
Pittsburg for the first time in many
weeks is becoming hopeful over the
steel outlook. Sellers are refusing to
tie up at low price and while furnaces
continue to go out Of blast, shrewd OBJ
servers expect revival of railroad
business as increased earnings which
are now becoming more pronounced
are effective. The feeling is general
that the heavy purchasers Of steel
rails will be forced into the market
before long through sheer necessity.
Prices Of pig iron and billets are being
shaved somewhat but everything
hinges on the rail situation, which is
the strategic point in an outlook that
is complicated by some interesting
cross movements. The industry in
general is picking up.
Textile manufacturing is still at low
ebb with little prospect of immediate
improvement. In New England the
shutdown of milling interests is re-
stricting consumption Of general mer-
chandise.
The outlook for an excellent yield
of grains is all that could be expected.

hundreds OF persons were struggling in
the sea, having preferred death in the

ship. Others determined to stand by
the ship hoping against hope that she
would remain afoat.
Three boats it is known success
fully reached the sea. The passen-
gers frantically pulled away from the,
doomed ship, passing by poor wretches
who were still afoat and who vainly
begged to be taken on board while
from the ship came long despairing
cries The women in the boat which
reached Grimsby hid their eyes, but
the men who were sitting facing the
Norge say they saw the captain still
on the bridge and the. passengers on
deck in attitudes Of resignation. While
they looked, the Norge plunged for
ward, her stern shot up in the air and
she disappeared. The swimmers in the
vicinity of the ship were drawn into
the vortex, around which they swirl
ed like chips in the maelstrom.
But twelve minutes elapsed from
the time the ship struck until she
