GOODYEAR'S PURCHASE
 NEAR JACKSON, MISS,

Jackson, Miss, December u.-(Specia1) cate'' has purchased the holdings of Foley Bros. & Larsen in this section of the country has created a great deal of interest. and speculation is rife. A year ago Foley Bros. & Larsen, St. Paul capi- talists, came down to Jackson and In the course of six months had purchased every old field and piece Of woodland within for ty miles of Jackson to the north. It was stated that they had millions behind them and that they were going to build one of the largest and greatest of wood working plants at Jackson that was ever heard of in the south. Old fields that are subject to a ten-foot overflow every spring immediately north of Jackson and in the corporation sold for thousands of dollars, and several parties unloaded on the Foleys at munifcent figures.
 It was said that the Foleys and Larsens were going to build great levees and pro- tect their lands from overflow regardless of cost, and build a new town in the overflow district that would rival Jackson in a very few months. There were skep- tics, of course, but the sales were made, and the rumors bore the ear-marks Of truth, so that the price of lands that had not passed into the hands of the Foleys took an upward tendency, and were held at a price that defied even the Foley plungers Some how or other the Foleys never turned up with their army of work men to build levees, and for six months there has been doubt that anything was to be done. It was expected that rail- road would be penetrating the valley of the Pearl ere this, but not shovel or

dirt has been thrown, and the chances
 are that none ever will be-unless 1t be
 true that the Goodyears have taken over
 the Foley interests.
 It is known that the Goodyears are
 building the New Orleans and Great
 Northern and that it is now in the vicin-
 ity of Monticello, Lawrence county, in
 an active state. I. c. Enochs of Jack
 son is considered the head of the Good
 year interests In Mississippi. and he de-
 clines to make any statement about the
 Foley Bros deal, so that there is no
 way to tell just what has happened How
 ever, if the Goodyears are building to
 Jackson, Is understood from New Or
 leans, it is safe to predict that they
 will seek connections far to the north of
 Jackson, and Jackson is pretty well con- vineed that the deal with Foley Bros eS
 Larsen has been made-or is in course. If 1t is, that means great things for
 Jackson and the valley of the Pearl to
 the north of Jackson.
 There is also rumor to the effect that the Frisco has a hand in this business. and which may or may not be true. The understanding here is that the Frisco would like the best fin the world to get to the Gulf coast through the state of Mississippi and in which 1t is already in terested to a considerable extent. It ia understood that there is an agreement be- tween the Frisco and the New Orleans and Great Northern, but that may not be true. It is known, however that the Frisco had been doing a good deal of figuring down this way, and that 1t has had more than one engineering party In the southern portion of the state. In the event they have Joined forces with the Goodyears for the development of the ], state of Mississippi, it means something worth talking about, and Mississippi is ready to welcome them, no matter what they want

LIBERAL MINISTERS
 SWORN INTO OFFICE
JOHN BURNS, THE LABOR LEADER, GETS AN OvATION-LORD ROSE BERY coNGRATULATES THE LL-BANNERMAN GOVT.

London December 1.-The liberal min- isters composing the new cabinet received their seals of office and were formally in- stalled at a meeting of the privy coun- ell at Buckingham palace at 3:SO this af- ternoon.
 The outgoing ministers surrendered the seals to the King at meeting of the privy council held at noon. The ceremony was quite formal. few persons gather ed around the gates of the palace and watched the retiring ministers as they ar- rived on foot or in cabs, but they were hardly distinguishable in the dense fog.
 The earliest arrival among the new members was John Burns, the new pres ident of the local government board. who was cheered by a deputation from Bat tersea.
 When the ministers assembled in the council chamber all those who previously had not been made members of the privy council were sworn in after which the new ministers kissed hands" on their appointment to the cabinet.
 Lord Rosebery gave his blessing to the new Liberal cabinet at the meeting of the council of the Liberal League held in London this afternoon. He said he thought the composition of the new ministry must fill them all with pleasure and congratu- lated Sir Henry Campbell Zimmerman on his selections. His lordship added that all the offices were well filled and that the country might now expect economy in finance and continuity of strength and dignity in its foreign policy and might even hope to see an army once more

Rome December 1.-The Pope today held a secret consistory which was the second of his pontificate, in which he created new cardinals and apparently showed a tendency to have better equi- librium between the foreign and Italian clements in the sacred college, as three of the four new cardinals are foreigners. The ceremony was performed with the usual pomp. Nearly thirty cardinals were present. The pontiff appeared walking and preceded by, surrounded and follow ed by the gorgeous pontifical court. Then all withdrew except the members or the sacred college and the Pope read his olocution. In it he said he wished ne could give the cardinals pleasant ana consoling news, but the conditions at the present time do not permit of eonsoia- ton.
 Especial care and anxiety may De ieil for the country heretofore called the eld- est daughter of the church, but concern ing the anti-Catholic laws passed there against the laws of justice the Pope said he would speak in accordance with his apostolic office more gravely and more fully at an opportune time. He exhorted the cardinals to prayer, recalling that the Lord will cause tranquility and peace to shine forth at the proper time. The pom tiff ended with saying that he intends to homer the whole Latin-American race by creating for the first time cardinal belonging to that part of the world. |.
 Immediately after reading his oloeution he created the following cardinals:
 The most Rev. Joseph Samassa, arch bishop of Erlau. Hungary; Mgr Spinola. archbishop of Seville; Mgr. l. A. DAT coverde D. AlbuQuedqus CAvelcanto.

JUDICIAL DISTRICT BILL
BY PATTERSON sTEALEY.

Washington December u.-tSpeciaL)- Following his failure in the House today to obtain recognition of the speaker and wash the solled lien of the Democratic party in the presence of the Republicans Of the House, Representative Lamar of Florida this afternoon gave to the Repub- lican newspapers a long interview, at- tacking the Democratic leader, Repre- sentative Williams of Mississippi be- cause he had done the only thing he could consistently do and kept the Florida member off the interstate and foreign commerce committee, where in the last session of Congress he deied the will Of the Democratic caucus ond joined with Representative Shackelford of Mis- souri in favor of bill introduced by Representative Hearst of New York
 With possibly two or three exceptions there Is not Democrat in the House who does not strongly condemn the action of Lamar and it Is pretty safe prediction that the Democratic voters of the Third Florida district will next summer re- ward MT. Lamar by retiring him to pr vate life. After the congressional elec tions of last year, the Democrats were congratulating themselves that they had gotten rid of Livernash of California and of two other harmony disturbers, but 1t looks as if MT. Lamar of Florida is destined to play an ed'- unenvlable role.
 The action of Representative Williams is fully indorsed by his Democratic col leagues.
 Before the Democratic caucus was held last winter, the minority members of the interstate committee held a number of conferences. At none of these did MT. to say in favor of the Hearst bill. Finally when it was understood that all the Dem ocrats would unite on the Davey bill and q Democratic caucus had given it the stamp of approval. MT. Lamar and Mr Shaekelford came out for the Hearst bill, a measure that would not possibly pass Congress unless it's membership was composed wholly of Lamars The Democratic members wanted to stand behind a bill that would not be subject tu valid criticism and therefore urged the passage of the Dayey bill, which not
 only expresses the Democratic view on
 the railroad question, but also that senti- ments expressed in the Presidents de- | liVerances on the subject
 Representative Williams seems to have committed but one error in the whole proceedings, and that was in assigning MT. Lamar to the foreign affairs com mittee Instead of to a committee which never meets and therefore offers no op- l portunity for Democratic division

POLICY HOLDERS IN
 ENGLAND AROUSED
INSIST THAT PRESIDENT OF THE MUTUAL BE ACCEPTABLE TO THEM-D. c. HALDEMAN MEN, TONED FOR PLACE.

London, December 11.-English policy holders in American life insurance com panies have determined to take measures for the protection of their interests. Hitherto, while the question was much discussed, evidence of combined action had been lacking. The Associated Press was informed today that the polcyholders of the Mutual Life Insurance company of New York have decided to urge upon the officials of that company that the suc- cessor to Richard A. McCurdy must be a man acceptable to the English holders The English press understands an urgent request to this effect was sent to the mutuals officials in New York today. 1t was stated that the largest policyholders in England would insist that the man who directed the affairs of the Mutual must be sufficiently prominent and well known on both sides of the water to ensure com plete confidence.
 The alternative has not been announced but the Associated Press Is given to un- derstand that unless assurances to this effect are forthcoming within a stated number of days, a decided step will be taken, and that the whole matter was in the hands of some of the most infu- ential men in London.
 The leading London newspapers in dis cussing the question editorially, urge the New York directors in reorganizing the Mutual, to protect the interests of the English policy holders. The Morning Post says
 "The British policyholders in the Mutual number 30, 600, and their interests must be protected"
 IT may he stated that A distinct moye- ment is on foot to secure the appointment to the presidency of D. C. Hademan as the man most acceptable to the British policyholders. It Is suggested that the books should be submitted to a British firm of accountants.

General Keller will in- troduce a bill after the holidays, In the meantime he will confer with Represen- tative Crumpacker of Indiana upon the subject. General Keller said he did not know the attitude of the President on the subject but if it were true that the President was opposed to the proposition he had no doubt that the President would change his mind. ''Th- question is bound to come before Congress" said General Keller today. "If not this winter, then next"

Lona's Appointment Held Up.

Senator Foraker of Ohio is holding up in the Senate judiciary committee the nomination of Pope Long, who was sev- eral days ago appointed marshal of the Birmingham district Senator Foraker requested the chairman not to take any action on the case for several days and senatorial courtesy allows this to be done The understanding is that the hitch rests with friends of D. M. Copper, the retiring marshal, who desires further time to place his case before the Presi- dent and if possible hold on to the of- flee. No charges have yet been filed against Long, but it is reported thls will be done. One charge Is to the effect that he. when deputy marshal, intentionally executed summons on the wrong man. Both Senators Morgan and Pettus are for Longs confirmation, and it is expect ed that he will win out. Till today no charges have been filed against J. H. Judkins. the new marshal at Montgom- cry.
