MARTIAL
ON RHODE
ISLAND
viii Investigate Grounding Of
Vessel and Accidents in
the Navy in General.

Washington, D. C., May 26.-A
court martial has been ordered to
meet on board the battleship Rhode
Island May % to inquire into the
grounding of the vessel in Chesapeake
Bay early this month, and to try Off
GERS charged with the responsibility
of the accident. The officers to be
tried are: Capt. Perry Garst, COM
handing the battleship ana 1t Com
mander Edward T. WitherspoOn her
navigator
1t is probable that the court will
go further than the trial of the Off
GERS and will practically make an in
yestigation Of causes Of accidents in
the navy with hopes of preventing
accidents in the future.
The court will be composed OF
Rear Admirals G. D. Sigsbee, J. E.
Craig. C. NJ. Thomas, w. w. Mead,
and Asa Walker, Capts. r. NJ. Berry,
w. NJ. Emory, B. F. Tilley and w. H.

Capt Garst has been in command
of the Rhode Island only a few
months and the vessel was in her
maiden cruise when the accident &C.
CURED. Capt. Garst Is a native OF
Ohio but was appointed to the SER
vice from Illinois in 1853 About
half of his naval career has been
spent at sea.

NO RECOGNITION
FOR MINERS
UNION
Status of MitChsII'S Organization
UNCHANGED by Recent
Settlement.
Special to The Journal.

New York. May 26-On behalf oi
the Anthracite coal operators, the fol
lowing statement was authorized to
day In reference to assertions made by
President Mitchell in addressing the
mime Workers Convention at Scran.
, ton, May s. The miners leader then
said; You have taken a most ad'
vanced step and have secured for your.
: selves advantages never before en-
soyed in the history Of your movement
You have an agreement not only with
che United Mine Workers Of America
hut with its officers"
The operators statement says:
Nothing in the form Of the recent
settlement Of the anthracite coal con
troversy constituted even in a remote
degree 8 recognition of the mine work
iers' union. Mr. Mitchell has told his
followers that the position Of the union
was stronger than ever, owing to the
fact that the operators had signed q
formal agreement with IT, In some
paris Of the anthracite region this has
already given rise to attempts to eX-
clude nOn-uniOn men from re-emplOy-
ment..
The negotiations between the an
ehracite coal operators and their en-
ployees show that the arrangements
recently concluded involved no fur
ther concessions to the United Mine
Workers regarding its standing than
was involved in the strike settlement
of 1902 This arrangement does not
constitute an agreement with that or
Eanization or with any one processing
10 represent il. At no point whatever
was the existence Of the union recog-
nized, and even when the final ar
rangement was made. it was merely
one between the respective companies
and their own employees.
The negotiations which ended in
the settlement of May were begun
nv a letter from Mr.. Mitchell to the
presidents OF a number Of coal CON-
panies Inviting them to meet a CON-
mittee appointed at a delegate con
vention representing the anthracite
coal mine workers Of Pennsylvania,
including the employees OF the CON-
many Of which you are president The
stipulation signed on May set forth
that in 1902 all questions at issue be-
tween the respective companies and
their employees, whether they belong
20 q union or not and as 10 the con-
ditions OF employment between the re-
gpective companies and their own en-
ploTees.' had been submitted to and
decided by the Strike Commission.
1T is the Commissions award on
this basis that has been continued In
force until March 81, 1909. BY sign
tng the stipulation. with q committee
representing their own employees, for
the continuance OF the terms Of the
award the coal companies In no way
enhanced or In any way changed the
standing Of the Nine Workers union.
As this issue may become an ex-
tremely important one In the future,
Il is deemed advisable to emphasize
the facts stated above while the Incl

MERRILL ENTERS A PROTEST.
MERRILL, MISS, JAN. "a AT a
mass meeting here Monday Of the OPP
ponents to the proposition to create
a new county from portions of Greene
and Jackson the following resolution
was unanimously adopted: ~
Owing to the prevailing condi5 /
tons and the prospects of contem-
plated efforts on the partlof some of
our citizens of Greene County, there
is likelihood of.losing a part of our
territory in order to establish new
county, which proposed new county
will Ibe composed of the southern
part of Greene. County and the nor
thern part of Jackson County. Owe
ing to this cofitenplatedmove on. the
part of the citizens of Lucedale and
vicinity iny calling IL mass meeting
for Jan. % for, the purpose of Legis-
lature to establish. o new, county at
this termd and in eiQnsiderat.ilon of
these contemplated conditions and
the long-felt financial embarrassment
of this county. 1t is believed that
it would be injurious and detrimental
to the entire interests of the people
at large. Then, too, in considera-
ton of the. great cost of buildings
and equipments Of new county and
the extra expense of the entire ma
chinery of same, this would place us
in the same channel from which we
feel we have Just made our escape.
So in consideration of these facts we,
the citizens, householders, freehold
ders. and qualified voters of Greene
County in the vicinity of the town of
Merrill. do assemble in mass meeting
this the I'D day of January, 1906,
and do hereby condemn any action
that may be taken by any mass meet
ing held in regard to the promotion
Of a new county as above stated.

EDITOR HERALD:-The Legislature
split on the Vicksburg monumental
proposition. The old men who are
nearly all old soldiers, contcnding
for larger appropriations to be ex-
pended in taking care Of the old in |
di5ent Confederate Soldiers the;rl
wives and widows, and the most of
the young members are in favor of
making heavy appropriations for
building monuments to the dead sol
dicrs on some OF the different battle
fields, especially at Vicksburg.
think the Southern Soldiers need
no monuments. If we look at the
conditions of the Southern people
forty years ago, their homes devas-
tated, their fences and houses in
ruins, their farms without fences and
grown up in weeds and briers. a
great many of them crippled end
helpless, and their wives and chill
dren pale and emaciated for the want
of the common nessaries of life. and
this condition soon followed by
hoard of thieving carpet baggers, and
ignorant negro suffrage
/ | ask, did the South give up that
southern manhood and hcroism that
seems to be inbred in them, and let
carpet-bagism and negro bossism-
take the reins and hold them down
as slaves and serfs. No, no-fortv,
years has proven that the South can
not be held down-tossc him as you
will and he will catch on his feet.
In that short space of time the devas :
tation of the South has been rebuilt,
her educational and benevolent insti-
tutions are among the best in the
world. And we stand to-day as one
of the most independent and thrifty
people of the world, and the world
knows it, and the world to-day looks
ION us with wonder and admiratio +,
! for the great strides we have made
, in SO short time. Contrast if you
please, the prosperous and affluent
condition of the South to-day with
her ruined and devastated condition
, at, thcclose of civil war, at that time,
seemingly in ruined condition.
To day prosperous. and happy. At
that time gloom and dispondency
seemed to hang as shadow over our
lovely Southland: devastation and
ruin on every hand; to-day her fields,
orchards and every man, woman, son
and daughter of this, our lovely land
(if they are composed of true South
ern bone and sinew) are living, walk
| ing monuments of Southern heroism,
and Southern determination. The
The world can but see it, and the
worlds history will point the chill
dren of unborn g nerations to the
markers and monuments made in
letters of gold, on the pages of his
tory in all future generations. md
while that generation may not be in
! sympathy with the South in the civil
war, they can bat a lmire the gallant
determination displayed by theSouth-
ern people since 1861, till 1865.
