Jefferson City, Mo.-After having
been in deadlock since January Is
over the selection of United States
senator to succeed Francis M. Cock
rell, the legislature at fifteen minutes
before sine die adjournment elected
Maj. William Warner, Republican, of
Kansas City, to fill the vacancy.
Seven ballots in joint session were
taken in effecting a decision and the
closing scenes of the legislature have
not been paralelled in the history of
Missouri politics.
When it became evident that War
ner would be the choice, the Demo
Gratis, who had steadfastly supported
Cockrell throughout, locked horns with
the Republicans who were split on the
caucus nominee, Thomas K. Niedring-
haus, Richard C. Kerens and over a
score of other nominees and the as
sembly chamber became place OF
general riot. Efforts were made to
stop roll call on the seventh ballot
several attempted to tear the presiding
officer from the chair and the Demo-
Gratis tried to effect an adjournment
without election. The time for sine
die adjournment had been set fol
3 O'Clock by concurrent resolution and
as the hour approached the clock was
smashed in the melee. Amid an up.
roar that almost baff1ed control al
times the seventh ballot Of the day
was cast, resulting. in the election OF
Maj. Warner.

SANTO DOMINGO
TREATY BURIED.
SENATE ADJOURNS WITHOUT
ACTION ON THE PROTOCOL
NOT EVEN RECOMMITTED
1t Was Allowed to Remain on the
Calendar to be Discussed When the
Senate Next Meets Whether in
Special or Regular Session.

Washington. The special session of
The senate was adjourned without delay
All of the nominations sent in were
confirmed with the exception of five,
the most important Of which was that
of Judge Wickersham to succeed HIM
self as judge Of the district court in
Alaska. Several important treaties
Were ratified but beyond these matters
no legislative business was transacted.
Most of the session was devoted to the
Santo Domingo question and the con-
sideration of treaty under which it
was proposed that the United States
should take over the control Of the
financial affairs of the Dominican GOV
eminent in order to pay its indebted
hess.
Democratic opposition prevented the
ratification of the treaty.
There was practically no discussion
of the Dominican question in execu-
tive session of the senate. Before the
doors were closed, an effort was made
to secure the adoption of resolution
offered by Senator Teller requesting
the president to send to the senate
correspondence leading up to the ne
gotiation of the Dominican treaty.
Consideration Of the resolution was
interrupted by the motion made by
Senator Cullom that the senate 90
into executive session. The senate at
once took up certain nominations and
proceeded to confirm them. Practical
ly all the business Of this character
was concluded before 2 p. NJ, and
committee consisting of Senators Cul-
lom and McCreary was appointed to
wait on the president and inform him
that the senate was ready to adjourn.
No motion had been made to recon-
nit the treaty and it was allowed to
remain on the calendar. 1t will be
the pending business in executive SEES
sion when the senate next meets,
whether it be in special or regular
session.
The senate was continued in special
session three days because of an in
vestigation made by order of the pres
ident in relation to judeeships in Hi
nois and controversy over the nomi-
nation for internal revenue collector
in West Virginia. These matters were
disposed of soon after the doors were
closed. While the committee to wait
on the president was performing its
duties, Senator Spooner called up the
white house and took up with the pres
ldent the appointment of a district at
torney in Wisconsin. The president
did not make the appointment and
there was another delay of nearly an
hour, while the commission was being
filed out and hurried to the senate.
This matter disposed Of the senate adj
journed sine die and the senators pass
ed pleasant half hour or more in
saying their .farewells.

That there is a demand for reliable
abor In Mississippi greater than ever
Known before, was proven by the great
lumber OF letters received by the writ
sr after the dailies stated several days
ago that he had arranged for any
quantity Of Italians to work in the
fields and factories. The report as
published was slightly wrong, arrange
nents having been made with relia-
Die Italian imigation agency to fur
aish labor, but the numerous replies
prove that there il large demand for
l good and reliable class of labor. A
etter has been received from the Roy
Il Danish Consul at New Orleans along
he same lines as the one reported as
having been written to the Louisiana
Bureau of Agriculture. While the
class of migrants considered by the
Consul are by far the best that can be
aad here, as stated before, the draw
back to securing them lies in the fact
that we have no bureau to handle
such matters and an individual or cor
poratlon cannot get proper represen-
5ation, having to wait until other
states have had their pick. It is to
De hoped that the legislature will rem
edy this defect at its next sitting.

Yazoo City has organized compa-
ay for the construction and operation
Of cement building block factory and
The machinery for the same has been
ordered and will be placed in position
1T an early date. The artificial stone
which is made from mixture of ce-
ment and sand is much cheaper than
stone and has been used for years
with excellent success. By this pro-
cess all of the neat and fancy shapes
and effects can be had at little cost,
making buildings attractive as we'll as
durable. The blocks are made either
solid or hollow, are laid faster than
brick and are claimed to be just as
durable. We expect to see number
IF such factories started in Mississip-
pi in the next few years.

large buildings with magnificent ap.

The problem Of market for the i'm
mense quantities Of truck being rails
ain Mississippi at present and a
large annual increase, presents itself
to the farmer who has not investigated
conditions as they exist. There is
a fear that it will be overdone and the
markets glutted. There is no imme-
date danger of such a condition.
Years ago all Of the produce in New
York and other large cities was rails
ed in the suburbs, it being necessarily
late in coming on the market or rails
ed at great expense under glass. At
present the people of Chicago are
Teasing off the crops Of Mississippi
while the trucker in that section is
planting his seed. There is no pos
|sibility Of the business being overdone
while the northern country is gaining
in population and the cities dependent
on us for vegetables there would be
a ready market for the early stuff and
with proper handling a deannd for
that which comes on later. Don't get
uneasy about OVERRIDING the thing for
a number Of years yet.
The Brandon news. (Brandon, Miss.) 1892-1961, 1905-03-23

Ihere is movement on foot by
men prominent in business and finan-
cial affairs in Mississippi to establisa
an old line life insurance company.
This move, if predicated on business
principles and managed by men Of in
tegrity, should prove benefactor to
the state. AT present we are paying
to the north and east over two and a
quarter million dollars annually in
life insurance premiums, more money
than all taxes of every description
collected in the state. But very little
of this money is used in the state, but
is used at low rate Of interest to
build up the section Of country that
is in direct competition with us in
many things. The gigantic sums now
accumulated by the life insurance
companies have actually become a
menace to the safety Of the country,
being used in numerous ways to con
troll the markets, government and eY-
erything else that comes along. Mis-
sissippi already has three fiourishing
fire insurance companies and there
will be more in few years. The ex-
perience of Arkansas at present, where
the fire insurance companies of the
east are boycotting the state because
laws have been made to protect the
people instead of allowing them to
continue making all laws governing
the same, could not be experienced
here if there were sufficient comps
nies doing business to handle the
risks. Mississippi had some such e1-
oerience not many years since and the
home companies are largely the out
come of that fight The rates Of in
serest are higher here than in the
north and east and for that reason
life and fire insurance companies could
and would pay larger profits to the
policy holders and stockholders, where
economically managed, than in the
sections mentioned. 1t will be a
bright day indeed for Mississippi
when the surplus money Of our state
ian be used in such concerns, and our
people be given the opportunity of
breaking from the exacting ties Of
hose powerful and relentless corpo-
Nations. Every Mississippian is vi
Eally interested in these matters, and
he sincere hope is expressed that the
next few years will show a wonderful
development along these lines.

OH, FOR A DIVING SUIT!
iachtsman LOses . Race for Lack OF Goods
From His own Rubber store.

EAST MoR1CHEs, l.. l., July 1G.--G. W
Buckley Of New York is MANUFACTURER
and dealer in rubber goods, but he didn't
bring any diving suit or even rubber
coat when he came out to East Morches fol-
his outing. He is an catboat sailor with
lots Of experience here and he got little
more experience yesterday. He has a
friend. fellow patron OF the Ocean House
here, whose name is NJ. L. Moore and who
Is resident Of Stroudsburg, Pa.
Mr.. Moore had permission to use his
sons Gatboat Offender Ii. for trip to the
beach and Mr.. Moore invited Mr.. Buckley
to go along and handle the boat.
On the beach little bet was made as to
the time il would take the Offender ii
Ocean House dock, two and a half miles
away.
The wind was from the north and de-
cidedly fluky and with lots of catspaws
At II o'clock the start was made and at
1880 Mr. Buckley was within gunshot of
the Ocean House dock His chances were
good to make it within the two hours and
win the cold bottles, but as he swung the
Offender II. around on the last tack, puff
struck her squarely abeam and over she
went. MIR. Buckley and Mr.. Moore went
to the leeward, but fetched up in the belly
then that MIR. Buckley was wishing for a
rubber suit. He wanted badly to reach
the dock within the next ten minutes and
struck out to swim the remaining hundred
yards or less. After swimming awhile
some of his friends on the dock shouted:
~stand up and wade and you'll win"
He struck the dock and called for the
time. 1t WAS 1888. We win," he shouted
to Mr.. Moore. Not yet" replied Mr..
Moore. but we will II you'll come back
and help me pull the boat"
Mr. Moore had tho painter OF the over
turned boat over his shoulder and with
the water up to his armpts was pulling
like the rear team Of a six FOUNDER field
piece.
Mr. Buckley jumped in and helped him
on the last few yards, but the judges
were mean enough to call time. when the
two sailors were within seven yards of the
dock.
4Now, Buckley" said Mr.. Moore, "you
bring down a couple of rubber diving its
and we'll make another bet with the boys"

Pastor MatthewsOn's Challenge silence
Dissenting CONGREGATION.

WILLIAMsPoRT, Pa, July 18.-The Rev.
William Matthewson, pastor Of the Swedish
Valley Methodist Church. created a sensa-
ton at the Sunday service by Offering to
fight any three men in the valley.
The challenge came as the climax of
series of sensational attacks on the men,
ters of the Masonic and other secret Or
ders. This time his remarks we're resented,
and public quarrel followed, several Of
the leaders in the church assailing the
minister while he was in the pulpit Mr..
Matthewson declared from his pulpit that
no member of the Masonic fraternity should
have place in the church and that no min
ister who was member Of the order had
ever had successful revival. He savagely
attacked at the same time the Grange
and the Odd Fellows.
In the midst OF his harangue Hiram
lent and Warren White, two prominent
members of the church, rose and chal-
lenged his conduct and asked him to con-
tne his sermon to topics on religion. He
ordered them out of the church and then
ssued MS challenge to fight three mon.
hatthewson is a converted woodsman,
and up to the present time has been very
successful in the ministry. His challenge
Las not been accepted.

TOWN, JOINS IN MONKEY HUNT.
Bayonne Pet Last Seen Studying His
Pulchrltudin0us Phiz In a Mirror.

PulchrltudinO Phiz In Mirror.
Scores of boys and girls helped the Bay
onne, Nj, police yesterday to hunt for Ted
dy, a big brown monkey that escaped from
It's owner, Mrs. INV. Van Woeart, several
DAYS ago. The monkey appeared yesterday
in several parts Of the town with his chain
dangling and the hand mirror he had seized
as he dashed through his mistress's room
still intact. About noon the monkey was
seen in a tree on the Boulevard combing
his whiskers and peering into the mirror.
Later boys playing near Thirtieth street
saw Teddy In tree. When he used the
mirror to throw the sun into their faces
they chased him away. It was reported
that the monkey. had attempted TO kiss
several girls, and this report frightened
timid women and they avoided unfrequented
streets.
Mrs. Van Woeart said yesterday that
Teddy is as strong as horse and able
to give battle to man. She hoped he
would get home before killing or manning
any one.
x year ago Teddy chewed himself free
and was away a week, during which time
he did lots OF mischief.
