A REIGN OF TERROR.
Senor Barillas is Driven to the Noun
tains. Terror Prevails.

Mexico City.-Private advices from
Salvador bring news collected in Guat
emala by the intelligence bureau of
the revolutionists. President Cabrera
is charged with having caused the
coffee estates Of Gen. Barillas to be
burned and with having driven Seno-
ra Barillas in terror to the mountains
with a few faithful attendants. This
act of Cabrera is said to be revenge
for Barilla's distributing his revolu-
tionary proclamation in northern
Guatemala. Gen. Toledo has his army
in a strong positiSl in southern Guat-
emala where he is receiving recruits
and preparing for his advance on
Guatemala City. His troops are very
promptly paid, are well supplied with
provisions and are we'll equipped for
campaigning. The support given to
the revolutionist by Salvador, Mica
rauga and Honduras insures the for
nation of formidable force to march
on Guatemala City. People eyaping
from Guatemala bring news Of awide-
spread reign of terror since ths'revo
luton broke out.

MISSISSIPPI STATE
HAPPENINGS
ITEMS OF INTEREST FROM
ALL SECTIONS.
AN EPITOME OF THE NEWS
Culled From Important Happenings
Throughout the State During the
Past Week and Reviewed in Brief.

Governor Vardaman is expected to
issue call within the next few days
for the first meeting of the Vicksburg
National Military Park Commission,
appointed during the recent legisla-
tive session, and vested with the duty
OF directing the expenditure of the
$4,000 appropriation to be used in
erecting monuments to the Mississip-
pl troops who fell during the siege Of
Vicksburg.
The commission is composed of Cap
tain John G. eastman, of Vicksburg,
Capt. w. 7. Ratcliff, of Raymond, and
Hon. William Yerger, of Greenville,
all of whom are familiar with the his
tory Of the memorable siege, and the
positions occupied by the troops IF
this state engaged in the defense of
the city. The governor is an ex-officio
member Of the body.
In view Of a general manifestation
of interest being shown by other
Southern States in the work at the
Vicksburg park, and the likelihood
that liberal appropriations will be
made for monumental purposes, it is
believed that the next legislature of
this state will grant an additional ap-
preparation of $4,000. 1t is conceded
that the funds now available are in
adequate as contrasted with the liberal
appropriation of other states, Illinois
for instance, allowing 100000 for the
work.

MISSISSIPPI LATE NEWS.
Black Sea Bass Captured.

"A black sea bass, measuring eight
feet one and one-half inches was
caught at the Pass Christian tarpon
grounds by John 7. Mcdonald. It
weighed 44O pounds and, when hung
up, looked more like a beef than a
fish. Hundreds of people viewed it
when numbers of photographs were
taken of the monster. Mr. Mcdonald
was fishing for tarpon at the time,
and when the smallness Of the tackle
used is considered, perhaps a similar
feat has never heretofore been ac-
complished by any angler. It required
over two hours Of hard work to land
the ganester and the captor says tha.
such an experience once a season
is sufficient sport for any one. 1t is
not of record that any fish of this
size has ever been landed in the Gulf
before on an ordinary rod and reel,
and the record for catches Of big fish
is broken.

Right-Makes Statement in Refer
erence to Controversy.

Washington. controversy be
tween the president ard the house cor
cerning the meat inspection and the
difficulties likely to arise between the
house and the senate relative to the
Panama canal type were discussed by
senate leaders to determine what ef-
feet they will have upon adjournment.
The indications are said to be that the
senate would decide relative to meat
inspection upon good and effective
measure. In regard to the canal legis-
lation the prevailing impression is
that the outcome in the event the SEN
ate passes a sea level bill, is that all
matters relative to the type would be
eliminated in conference.
If this should be done it would leave
the president free to carry out his
expressed determination to proceed
with the construction of lock canal.
The existing complications in regard
to both of these important matters
are not thought to likely seriously de-
lay the adjournment of congress.
Senator Beveridge made the follow
ing statement in reference to the con-
troversy between the president and
Mr.. Wadsworth regarding the night

By H. E. BLAERsLEH, Jackson, Miss.

In speaking Of the fact that nearly
all of the southern roads are prepar-
ing TO double-track their lines, the
Birmingham Ledger says:
"The truth is, the productiyeness
of the south has increased so rapidly
OF late years that the railroads find
1t hard to meet the transportation de-
mands With Single tracks. Complaints
OF the 'nadequacy Of shipping facili-
ties are growing more numerous every
year. Thousands of dollars worth Of
Strawberries and other trucking pro-
ducts had ~ be thrown away last year
'because the cars were not available
for shipment. The fruit season opens
a'nost every year with complaint of
the shortage of cars. '1he double
track system will greatly facilitate
the shipping and will remove much of
the difficulty along its line. Not only
IS the freight traffic on all of the
principal railroads increasing stead
lily, but the passenger traffic is very
much heavier, so that it is not un-
reasonable to look for the double
tracking of nearly all of the large
railroad systems in the south in the
next few years."
