Mr.. Grier'S Statement.

The statement made by S. A.
Grier, Secretary Of the machin-
lists general committee, as pub
llshed in one Of the city papers,
does not endorse all that is claim
ed by the railroad company in the
matter of the machinists strike.
In speaking of the refusal of the
machinists' to accept Mr.. Spen-
GERS offer of arbitration, Mr..
Grier says: I'm the meantime
the committee of the boilermak-
ers and the committee represent
ing the pipe filters, timers and
coppersmiths we're in conference
with the officers of the road, and
satisfactory settle m g t f or
the men they represented. The
boilermakers receive practically a
two cent fiat increase, just what
we had assured Mr.. Spencer we
would have accepted ten days be-
fore the strike was called. AID
the pipe filters, coppersmiths and
timers were granted Increases for
all their men varying from 1 1-2
cts, to 3 cts. per hour.
"Considering the above facts, is
it natural to suppose that the
machlnists should be willing to
arbltrate for what we agreed to
take before we went out, and
what the company considered fair
to give to other trades? Our men
said no, and we tklnk our stand is
justly taken.
1.-The boilermakers and machin-
lists have always been considered
by the Southern as on the same
basis, and have been paid the
same rate Of wages, then why
should we be called upon to arbi-
trate fer what the company gave
them?"

HOPEFUL Is JUDGE MACON
New Provisional Governor Of Cuba
Thinks Peace Will Soon Be Restor.
ed on Island.

A special from Havana says: Chas.
2. Magoon's first day as governor
of Cuba, which began Sunday, passed
busily but quietly. The palace was
singularly still, compared with the
eventful days of the past regime.
Governor Magoon said that he was
looking forward with confidence to
peaceful administration for the work
accomplished by Messrs. Taft and Ba-
con, both in the pacification of the
island and laying the foundation for
a smooth and successful system Of
provisional government. The governor
sees no reason to anticipate further
sudden changes in the situation or
any specially sensational incident;
he Is rather of the opinion that now
governmental matters will be of the
common place order compared to the
exciting and rapid succession of devel-
opments Of the past two months.
Governor Magoon has announced
his decision to postpone the appoint
AICAI vi CCtDIuCC OA1CSIO 1huSlII4ALS1y'
His intention is to consider thorough
ly the conditions and needs of each
department, and this can be better
accomplished at the outset by having
the subordinate heads report direct
to himself. BY this method the gov
ernor thinks he will be better enabled
to select the ministers best fitted
for the respective posts.
Asked whether he was likely to per-
nit partisan political expediency to in
fuence cabinet or other appointments,
the governor replied that such con-
siderations might rule to some ex-
tent, since it certainly would be inn
possible to appoint to high Offices
men to whom a considerable portion
of the people was opposed. Efficiency
and suitability, however, would be the
main consideration.
There will be kept a strict account

American army Of occupation as are
Chargeable to Cuba. These will In
clude only such expenses as would not
have been incurred but for the com,
ing of the troops to the island.

COTTON SEQ IN BAD CONDITION.
Oil Mills and PIaatesa Nay Clash as to ,he
Value OF Product.

Vdiue OF PcO0uCt.
The New Orleans Times-Democrat
says: THE present situation in regard
to cotton seed, the most perishable OF
all our perishable crops is without
parallel in the history of southern
agriculture and manufactures.
"At the lowest calculation 100000
tons of cotton seed which have al
ready been ginned or are to be gin
ned within the next thirty days have
been so damaged from the excess Of
moisture, termination of the seed in
the open bou and frost that no one
can even approximately place a val
uation on these million tons.
"The impossibility Of naming a fair
price for this damaged seed seems
likely to increase discord between
planters and oil mills, leading to the
throwing away Of enormous quantities
Of the seed on the enc hand and on
Sthe other to the purchase Of large
quantities by mill managers at prices
which mean ruin to their companies.
"One solution for the situation is
20 have some banker or merchant in
the town where cotton seed are sold
to open negotiations between the mill
and the planters aud arrange a basis
whereby the planter may receive a
small cash payment per ton on ac-
count and the balance when the seed
are made into products and sold"

Barney Parsons, a farmer, his wife
and three children were murdered Fri
day near Lickinton, Mo A farmer
named Hamilton has been arrested,
charged with the murder, and is said
to have confessed.
Parsons had sold his farm and crops

strongly guarded to prevent lynching.
He is said to have made a complets
confession, of which the following is
a summary:
At timber-bordered place in the

driving along, they we're confront
ed by Hamilton, armed with a shot
gun. Deliberately aiming at Parsons,
Hamilton discharged both barrels Of
the gun and Parsons fell to the

upon him and dubbed him over the
head with the butt of the gun sew
eral times. He thea beat the head
Of the mother almost to pulp, and
after killing her dubbed the three
children to death.
The bodies Of all five were then
loaded into the wagon and taken to
Big Piney Creek, about one mile dis
tant from the scene Of the murder,
and dumped into the creek. The body
of one of the children has not yet
been found. A party of fishermen from
Houston discovered the bodies Of the
two children Saturday about noon.
A further search brought to light the
bodies of both parents, and word was
sent to Houston.
Shortly after the news had been
received there, Hamilton rode into
town on mule that was recognized
as one that belonged to Parsons. He
was arrested and locked up in Jail.
Parsons was quiet, industrious
farmer, and never had trouble of any
sort. Hamilton has also been IA
