Militia Hurried to Scooba, Miss. on lncOnfirmed Report
Of Race War--.Stores of Recent TrOnble at Wahalak
Miss, Also Exaggerated

Scooba, Miss, Dec. 27.-Indefinfte
reports reached this town that four
negroes had been pursued by a posse
and killed five miles east of here. 1t
was also reported that the negroes in
and around the town were in state
of unrest and trouble was feared. A
telegram was sent to Governor Varda-
man at Jackson asking that troops be
forwarded here from Meridian. The
governor ordered out company Of
militia and the soldiers arrived here
early in the day. They found, how
ever, that no trouble existed in Scooba
and they are now walking about the
little town chatting with the citizens.
The reported killing of the four ne
recent trouble at Wahalak, where
desperate fight occurred on Mobile
and Ohio railroad train between two
negroes and Conductor Cooper. One
Of the negroes was killed outright and
the conductor received severe injuries.
Great excitement prevailed at Waha-
LAX when it was reported the negroes
had threatened to exterminate the
white people and burn the town. Gov
ernor Vardaman promptly sent the
state militia to the scene, but after
remaining there one day Colonel Nc
Giants, in command, returned to Meri-
dian, reporting that danger of further
trouble had apparently passed away
Citizens of Scooba say that no clash
with negroes is now feared here. The
negro population is quiet.
Advices from Wahalak state that
the excitement there has subsidized and
business is being carried on as usual.

STATE RIGHTS
Associate Justice Opposed
tOEXtenSiOn Of Federal
r. Powers

Washington, Dec. 27.-Justice Har-
Ian signalized his golden wedding an
ntversary by an emphatic declaration
against an increase in federal over
state power. The venerable jurist
said. ri >" &c..
II served in the Civil war as colonel
and have been on the bench twenty
nine years the 10th day of this month.
I can say now, what l have said in
many judicial decisions, and such has
been the uniform doctrine of our court,
that the federal government has no
powers except those delegated to it by
express grant or by necessary implica-
ton from express grants. .s #
s' Il think the federal government has
all the power 1t need have for the
purpose. of accomplishing the objects
for which the government was estab-
lished and that any tendency to en-
large its powers by loose construction
OF the words Of the Constitution ought
to be restricted. IN h. s,.. I'D
III think the preservation Of the
states with all their just powers is
essential to the preservation Of our
liberties "; 81 Gs5# (.

CUBAN DISORDERS
Garrison Of American Troops in Santa Clara Province
Largely Increased. Inability Of Cuban RuraIes TO
Control Situation Plainly Apparent.

Washington, Dec. 27.-Secretary
Taft has received advices from Gov
ernor Magoon, at Havana, stating that
a more or less unsettled state Of af-
fairs exists in certain parts of Cuba
and that in Santa Clara province law
less bands are operating and pillag-
Ing. Therefore at the governors in
stance General Bell has ordered con-
siderable reinforcement of the gar
rison Of American troops in that prov.

For the first time since the second
occupation of the island by the Amer
leans it has become necessary for the
troops to undertake the suppression. Of
these disorders instead Of leaving this
task to the native Cuban rurales,
which in some quarters is regarded as
an indication Of the inability of the
Cuban civil authorities permanently to
maintain peace in the island. General
Bell in company with General Whit,
who will succeed him; Jan. 1 in COM

posed stock issue and examine into
the propriety and PURPOSES of tn
same. All of which, the complain
says, is contrary to the state laws.
The bill further says:
If the defendant increases it's stock
rs now proposed the aggregate there
OF will be $210,000,000. That the de-
PENDANT has been and is now paying
annual dividends at the rate Of 7 per
cent on all of its capital stock and
will pay dividends ct the same rate on
all Of its present capital stock and the
proposed increase if this increase is
consummated as now intended. That
this increase of sGG,O0),000 if effected
will ther efore increase the fixed an
nual charges by the defendant by the
sum of $4,000, 900, a great portion of
which will have to be paid by the de-
PENDANTS Minnesota patrons as
charges on freight and passenger traf-
fic local to Minnesota.
Determine Necessity of Increase.
The bill says that if the defendants
should make due application in writ
ing to the railroad and warehouse COM
mission and set forth the amounts
and purposes of said increase of it's
capital stock a hearing could be had
on the same to determine its neces-
sity and the state would become fully
advised of the facts and circumstances
surrounding the said proposed issue
of stock and could therefore exercise
that surveillance and control amount
ing to prohibition if the stock issue
should prove to be upwarranted. The
petition further alleges that by its
wi1lful and wrongful neglect and re-
fusal to make such an application to
the state railroad and warehouse COM
mission before proceeding with the
preparations for the proposed increase
of capital stock the defendant will de-
prive the state of Minnesota in the
premises and prevent giving the
transaction that scrutiny and publicity
contemplated by law.
The bill further says that the plain
tiff has no adequate or~speedy remedy
at law unless restrained by an injunc-
ton and proceeds to set forth its re-
quest for the injunction desired.

INJUNCTION ASKED
State Of Minnesota Opposes Increase Of Great Northern
Capital Stock. CONSENT of Railroad Commission
Needed, According to the Statutes.

st. Paul, Dec. 27.-Attorney General
Young has begun an action in the
Ramsey county district court on be,
half Of the state of Minnesota against
the Great Northern Railway company
asking for permanent Injunction
against the company, it's officers,
agents and servants from proceeding
in any manner with the proposed is
sue Of capital stock recently author
lied by the board of directors in New
York. The attorney general also asks
that the order restrain the defendants
from receiving or collecting the
amounts due on any subscriptions
which may have been or which will
hereafter be made, or from taking any
action TO carry out those plans until
the Great Northern Railroad company
shall first have made application in
writing to the railroad and warehouse
commission of the state of Minnesota
and procured Its consent to that issue
of stock. It also asks for a temporary
Injunction pendente lite "~
The attorney general, in his bill of
complaint, after reciting the fact that
the Great Northern is a corporation
of the state. of Minnesota and that it's
original authorized capital stock was

James Bryce Resigns His Seat in
49, Parliament, ="

20,
Aberdeen, Scotland, Dec. 27.-James
Bryce, who is to succeed Sir Nor
timer Durand as British ambassador
at Washington, has given his constit-
uents here the first definite informa-
ton Of his selection for the Washing
ton post in letter which they have
just received. In this communication
Mr.. Bryce said the appointment will
compel him to give up his seat for
South Aberdeen. The retirement of
Mr.. Bryce causes genuine regret, as
his scholarly qualities made him pecu-
liarly qualified to represent the con-
stituency which has the reputation of
being the most intellectual in the
United Kingdom, as Aberdeen enjoys
the unusual distinction of not having
one illiterate voter
No plans have yet been made for
the choice Of successor Of Mr.. Bryce
In parliament, but it probably will be
made from the literary class.

REASON FOR POSTAL DEFICIT
Publishers Say Government overpays

f.
Chicago. Dec. a. Statistics com
piled by representatives Of the United
Typothetae OF America and the Amer
lean Weekly Publishers association,
which organizations are vigorously
fighting the movement to increase the
rates charged for second class mall
matter, show that the government ia
paying the railways three times as
much on the average for the transpor-
8tation Of mail matter as the express
companies pay the reads for like serv-
Ices. On the basis OF the postmaster
generals estimates the publishers as
sert that the government, during the
fiscal year ending June 80. 1907, will
pay the roads almost $50, 900 600 more
than the express companies would pay
them for hauling an equal tonnage.
The printers and publishers organ
izations compiled the statistics to
show that the government, for the
purpose OF reducing the annual post
Office dedcit. rather should reduce its
outlay for the transportation Of mails
than increase the rate for second class
mail matter
