Reported Transfer Of the italian Am

Reported Transfer Of the italian Am
bassador.
ROME, August 1s.-The Vita announces
that Baron Mayor des Planches. the italian
ambassador at Washington. is about to be
appointed ambassador at London.
According to confidential information.
Baron des Planches, when he left WASH
ington last November for an indefinite stay,
went with no idea Of returning to this
country as the Italian representative. The
baron at that time was suffering from gen.
eral exhaustion. caused by overwork and
his indisposition was accentuated by mala-
rial fever contracted while on his trip to the
southern states in May, 1905.
There have been many reports In the last
few months, stating the recall of Baron des
Planches, and they have been systematic
ally called false by the secretaries in
charge of the embassy.
While there may be no truth In the report
of Signor Mayors appointment to London.
it can be stated with assurance that he
ton, II his original intentions are carried
out.
Ever since he was given his title by King
Victor Emmanuel there has been growing
boom for Baron des Pianches toward the
ministry for foreign affairs, in which ONCE
he received most of his diplomatic training,
and also as a disciple OF Prince Bismarck.
Owing to his peculiar fitness for the posi-
ton of foreign minister. 1t Is more than
likely that the baron will soon be rendered
the portfolio. While Signor Mayor never
expressed himself on this subject 1t is well
known that he would accept the office
II his health permits.
Baron des Planches Ii now in Rome, and
is expected to arrive In the United States
for a last visit some time in November.
Tho Italian ambassadors rumored ap-
pointment to the post to London gives rise
in diplomatic circles as to the hidden reason
for the change at such time, when he has
begun q series Of Investigations in the in
terests Of italian immigration and other
works which be alone could continue.
In view of Baron des Planches' intimate
knowledge of German diplomatic relations,
dating from back in the seventies, when he
acted as confidential secretary for Crispi
and Bismarck. and knows Intimately all the
international points OF law attached to the
triple alliance-Italy. Germany and Austria
lit Is moro than possible that his appoint
ment to London-if It will take place-is to
enable him to strengthen the ties between
Great Britain and Italy. and to help md q
loop through which Italy can withdraw
from the alliance. This point Is taken on the
presumption that italy has found more than
distastefui the attitude taken by both Ger
many aud Austria during the recent Rus
sian upheAvals.

GLOOMY REPORTS
FROM COTTON IN LOUISIANA AND
MISSISSIPPI,
Damage From hai6 Estimated as High
as Fifty Per Cent. in One
Section.

NEW ORLEANS, La, Oct. THE
Picayune's summary of cotton croi.
condition In Louisiana and Mississippi
tonight says:
THE gloomiest reports come from
the delta section of Mississippi and
those parishes in Louisiana border
ing on the Mississippi River In West
Carroll Parish correspondents state
that some estimates place the damage
as high as so per cent. In West Car
roll no cotton has been picked since
Sept. % on account of rains. Since
that time destructive wind storms
have almost laid the fields bare, blow
ing the staple from the wide open
bolls. A great deal of cotton can be
rescued from the mud, but it will nee
essarily, lose in grade. West Carroll
also reports that good planting seed
will be hard to obtain next season.
"Other correspondents report that
the cotton remaining on the stall. Is
rotting. Along the Homochitto River,
one of the important cotton producing
sections of the Mississippi, rains serv-
ed to create a rise in that water
course that in some section made a
sea extending from one hill to the
other. The open cotton was carried
off on the bosom of the waters without
hope of rescue.
"a number of correspondents n the
river sections report that seed is act
ually sprouting in those bolls that IS
capped the wind and rain"

GOV. PORTER
RETURNS
Believes That Peabody School Will
Get Much More Than a Million.

Ex-Gov. J. D. Porter returned from
New York Saturday night, where he
attended the session of the Peabody
Board of Trustees. Gov. Porter con-
firmed in its essential details the ac-
count of the meeting as carried by the
Associated Press, but said that the
Board would take up at this meeting
the final disposition of the Peabody
fund, the matter having been post
poned some time ago to the July, 1907,
meeting.
The action of the Board in postpon-
ing definite settlement of funds upon
the Nashville institution was due to
the fact that the Tennessee General
Assembly voted $250,0OO in bonds.
This was not acceptable to the Board,
as it was asked that $250,000 in cash
be donated. The Board decided to
wait until the July, 1907, and thus az
ford the Tennessee Legislature oppor-
thnity to change it's donation from
bonds to cash.
The Board will then proceed to full
fill it's agreement by voting S1,000,OOO
/ to the Nashville institution. Gov Por-
ter stated, however that he knows
the school will receive 100000 at
least if the cash mentioned is voted
.'The school," he said Saturday night
will get the $1,OO0,000 promised, an
other 100000 in addition, and, l am
sure, something more than that also
The matter was not up before the
/ Board, however, as it is set for the
July, 1907, meeting. "-Nashyille Amer

POPULAR PASTOR
RESIGNS

At the morning service of the First
Baptist church Sunday the cQngrega-
ton had a matter presented to them
that they had been fearing for some
time-the resignation of their pastor,
Rev. Spencer Tunnel. The resigna-
ton is to take effect November 1st,
and it is probable that Mr.. Tunnel
will accept call from the church at
Florence. Ala.
The First Baptist church of Colum-
bis has had a wonderful growth, both
spiritual and numerically during the
three and one-half years Mr.. Tunnel
has been its pastor During that time
the additions to the church have num-
bered 332, and there has been col
lected for all purposes $4,000, OF
which $4,57770 was devoted to chart
ties and benevolences. During the
nine years previous to Mr.. Tunnels
arrival there was 2e2 additions to the
church and the total amount collected
for charities and benevolences was
81 ,420S9. The pastorate of Mr.. Tun-
nell has been marked by perfect har-
mony within the church on all ques-
lions. He has won the love and friend
ship of not only his own church peo-
pie but of the citizens of Columbia as
well and the community will lose a
valued citizen by his departure to
other fields, and his resignation will be
source of regret to every one. This
is not Mr.. Tunnels first call since he
has been in Columbia. He has had
calls from churches in Arkansas, Tex
as. Alabama and half a dozen from
churches in Tennessee.
