representation in the alleged with
holding from the outside world Of the
information that the yellow fever had
broken out in the Crescent City. So
Gov. Blanchard ordered Gov Vardaman
to keep his troops at his own side of
the state line, which in effect was a de
NAL to them of place to eat on
Louisiana's terra firma
Because of the friction engendered
by the fierce controversy Of the two
governors the travellers seeking to
break through the quarantine lines
were held back at the lannon's mouth
and the point of bayonet. 1t was an
unusual state of affairs-a condition
unique in the history of the country.
When the New Orleans populace
realized that soldiers of the neighbor-
ing state had invaded Louisiana with
arms and gunboats the indignation was
so intense and general that even the
pressing necessity of fighting the
spread of yellow fever by making war
upon mosquitoes was not permitted to
stand in the way of preparations for
measures of reprisals and retaliation
A light-draft vessel was chartered for
the naval brigade of the states militia
and it was announced that this vessel
would be fitted out and armed with
howitzers and machine guns and would
start out to protect Louisiana citizens

stages OF the outbreak on land and
water. Menace of an interstate war
was prevalent and hostilities might
have begun on a grand scale at any
moment. Intervention of the marine
forces of the United States was looked
to and invited as the only means of
preventing bloodshed.
Governors in Wordy War.
Spectacular berating of each other
by the governor of Mississippi and the
governor of Louisiana preceded the ar
raging of the two states armed forces
in positions mutually hostile. Invasion
of Louisiana territory by land and
water was charged by the Louisiana
governor against the militia forces of
Mississippi.
Usurpation of authority over naviga-
BILE waters of the United States was
another of the charges that Governor
Blanchard of Louisiana Illuminated
against the coast patrol-boats put into
commission, with arms and ammuni-
ton and sharp-shooting militiamen, by
Governor Vardaman of Mississippi
In specific terms Governor Blanchard
charged that the armed patrol-boats

Wilson said that when the congressional the Swayne case, and Judge Swayne was travelling with them, he paid his fare.
 E. T. Davis again related the circum- stances connected with the contempt pro- ceedlngs against himself. Paquet and Bei- den J. J. Hooten, a real estate man, told how he came near selling to Judge Swayne the land in controversy over which the contempt case ar ose. aud D Don McClenan, a Pensacola newspaper re- porter, testified as to the writing of the story of the contempt proceedings. The last witness said hs submitted his ,nanu- script to Judge Swayne "nd that the judge had censored 1t liberally. Asked why hs submitted 1t, the witness re- piled:
 q had an idea that if I got It wrong the judge would call me up for it."

WANTS QUESTION
 TO 60 TO PEOPLE
MIR. AsoulTH IN HOUSE OF COM MONS MAKES REPLY TO KING EDWARDS SPEECH FROM THE THRONE.

London, February 15.-In the House of commons today the debate on the ad- oress in reply to the speech from the throne was resumed by MT. Asquith, hperal' and former home secretary who moved the following amendment:
 We humbly reprerent to your ma Jesty that the various aspects of the nscal question have been fully discussed In the country for nearly two years and that the time has come for submitting the question to the people without fur ther delay"
 MT. Asquith supported this demand for an immediate dissolution of parliament with some trenchant remarks on tine wide fiscal gulf separating the unionist faction.
 Turning to Premier Balfour, Mir. As- quith asked him to give an answer whether there was any political differ ence between his and Joseph Chamber lain's fiscal policies, but the Premier maintained silence
 The speaker then declared that MT. chamberlain was also becoming inocu- lated With the malaria of ambiguity and added that this intolerable confus-
 NthSih6 anu peIliouS lo iluuSii y and the empire, could only be cleared up by a prompt and direct appeal to the people
 Austen Chamberlain, chancellor of the exchequer, replying taunted the liberals with asking the country for a mandate to stimulate boundary in the competition with British manufactories and to main tain system of free imports without free exchange. The opposition's policy, he added, was to shut It's eyes to all that was passing in the rest of the world and cling to the ancestral conditions of sixty years ago. The government desired a free hand to negotiate public matters with foreign countries and the colonies and an unfettered conference of the lat ter to see that if a closer union could not be promoted between that land and other parts of the country.

FISHERMEN 1905.

Funniest thing I ever saw on any ball field occurred out at Alameda, on the Pacific coast, when I was training for my last fight with Jeffries," said Jim Cor bett. We had two great teams there of fighters and actors. and we used to play every afternoon Frankie Neil, Eddy Hanlon, Jimmy Britt and Berger were among the players. On the afternoon to which I refer I had the Polos-the acro- bats-on my team. Joe and Tom Corbett were on the other side. The Polos didn't know much about the game, but one of them made hit, beauty that went to the suburbs. I was on the coach line bel lowing my lungs out, telling the Polo to come on, while Tom and Joe yelled: Don't run; he's only kidding youf Polo finally started, and when he got to first he turned back, as If to go to the bench, and frantcally waved him on. And on he went. He steamed ahead of the run ner who was ahead of him and into the home plate the pair of them slid together. while the crowd went wild over the only play of the sort ever pulled off,"
 The Bessemer Rustler gives the fol- lowing editorial comment on the Birming- ham ball team:
 Real lovers of baseball and those in terested in Birmingham's team, cannot but be encouraged with this years team. Since the organization of the Southern league there has been more blowing and clustering without results, done by the Birmingham managers than any team in the league.
 Sam Mills was the first mogul to give out dope and from his talk 1t was easy money to win, but Sam lost out and the team and league would have been dis banded had not local parties taken up the franchise.
 Frank Haller was going to catch the pennant without any effort at all He fell by the wayside and Birmingham landed at the bottom of the list. Next year Tom O'Brien had the goods. beyond shadow of doubt. but it was the same old story. Then Tom told us he had kinder underestimated the strength of the Southern league, but give him one more chance and he would take that rag or bust He busted, so to speak, for he kept Birmingham just as near the bottom as Montgomery would let him.
 The team was then put in charge of big, brainy Harry Vaughan and he put the team under a rigid discipline and they left the bottom at a Dan Patch gait and wound up the season in the first division for the first time since the league was formed.
 Since the close of the season last year, Harry has been as dumb as an oyster In regard to what kind of a team he will have. The other managers have all had their say repeatedly and dope fixers have had a feast of good things to say about their teams, but not so with the Bir-
