Mr.. Mann. of Illinois. said that the
! Secretary Of the Interior had been
most active in ferreting land frauds.
He said (rcplying TO an intimation OF
Mr.. Tawney that Secretary Hitch
cock had "impulsively' asked for
$4,000 when he needed $2O,OOO):
"lmpulsivclv! With his blood as
cold as fish, lie could not impul-

Secretary is cold-blooded man and
it is through this very noture of his

was the ice water that was poured
down-his back by the appropriations

State Teachers to Meet.

Arrangements are being rapidly
completed for the annual convention
of the Mississippi State Teachers As
ISOLATION to be held in Jackson on
the 3rd, 4th, and 9Th of May. The
various committees assigned who are
expected to attend report good pro-
gress.
Reports from all over the state IN.
dicate that the original estimate of
1900 teachers for the convention is
not an exaggeration The pedagog-
ues are coming from every nook and
corner of the commonwealth, and as
representative body the convention
will be unquestionahly the largest that
has ever assembled in Mississippi on
any occasion.
The program is one of exceptional
interest, and some of America fore
most educators will be present to de-
liver addresses on various topics. The
association will be divided into sec
tions and meetings held in the Gen.
fury theatre, representative hall, the
senate chamber, and the county court
house.

MISSISSIPPI STATE
HAPPENINGS
ITEM OF INTEREST EROM
ALL SECTIONS.
AN EPITOME OF THE NEWS
Quilted From Important Happenings
Throughout the State During
the Past Week and Reviewed
In Brief.
Increase is Considerable.

At the request Of the Governor,
Hon. Paul Capdevielle, president OF
the state board of appraisers, has fur
nished the chief executive with state
ment showing the work of the board
in assessing railway, telegraph, sleep
ing car and express business for the
past two years. The report shows
an aggregate increase of assessments
ON property of this character in the
state of over $5,O00,000 during the
two years. OF this. $3.597,523 repre-
semts the increase for 1905 and about
$l500,000 the increase for 1906.
Says the president Of the board in
his report:
"The assessments for the year 1905
have not yet been made up in detail,
so it is impossible to give accurate
figures, but I think it is a conserva-
tive estimate to place the total for
1906 at s36,O00,00o. (The total for
1905 was .$34,598,539)
"The increase in such assessments
for 1905 over 1904 was $3,599, 523,
and as above stated, will probably
be $1,500,000. This increase of
course, will include the new properties
rolling stock, etc., which are sub
ject to regular state and parish tax
es.

Tedious Job.

State Treasurer W. j. Miller is now
working on the most tedious job he
has had during his incumbency of
that Office Some time ago the Su-
preme Court decided that Gov. Long
inc had no legal right to call in a
100000 bond issue for redemption,
and at its present session the legisla
ture passed a bill approprlating
funds to pay the interest Oh those
bonds from the date they were caA-
celled to the time of the expiration
of the first option.
This interest period ON the bonds
varies from two days to three years,
and Mr.. Miller is engaged in figuring
the interest on each bond, about 200
IN number, on which interest payment
must be made. The task also invol-
YES an examination of the records to
ascertain date of cancellation, and Mr..
Miller will be engaged in the work for
several days.
The state treasury now contains
considerably less than 100000 in
cash, and there will be no incoming
payments Of consequence until the
May privilege tax collections are re-
ceived. These collections, by the way.
will be- based on the privilege law Of
last year, as the new privilege tax
bill, which is a code chapter, does
not become effective until the first
of October.

MUST REPORT
STATEHOOD BILL
CONGRESSMAN WILLIAMS VERY
MUCH IN EARNEST.
TRANSACT No BUSINESS
Until This Relief is Made There Will
! be no Unanimous Consent Business
in the House The Declaration Was
A Surprise.

Washington, April 21.-Representa-
tive John Sharp Williams, of Missis-
sippi, democratic leader, startled the
house yesterday by announcing that
the minority side would permit the
transaction of no business by unani-
nous consent until the confrerees
on statehood return report.
This amounts to a declaration Of
filibuster by the democrats on the
part Of statehood for Oklahoma and
the Indian Territory.
The statehood confrerees after more
than a months work, have made no
progress whatever towards settling
the points Of chief difference between
the house andst the senate.
The republicans who supported the
speaker In his course are sending the
bill to conference in a way sure to
produce deadlock are still hopeful
that some agreement may be reached.
But Mr.. Williams and the demo-
Gratis think the situation serious
enough to demand the radical step in
behalf of the territories.
Williams program will shut off all
of that business so dear to individual
members who get their personal and
district bills through by calling them
up by unanimous consent of the
house. 1t will cause much ugly feel
ing among members.
The statehood confrerees met yes
terday. The time was consumed in
hearings upon the Warren amendment
which would enable the other land
to be substituted for such school land
In Oklahoma as proves to be mineral.
There was no discussion of the vital
points Of issue between the two
houses.
I'm announcing the filibuster, Mr..
Williams said:
"There are nearly 100000 of the
people ont in Oklahoma and the In
dian Territory begging for admission
into the sisterhood Of states. There
are tens, perhaps hundreds Of thou
ands of white children in the Indian
Territory without public school IA
cilities.
"The senate has passed bill ad-
hitting Oklahoma and Indian Terri
tory as state. A perfectly puerile
procedure is now going on. Last Sat
urday, when the confreeres we've to
have met, they did not meet, and the
cause for not doing so was that some
OF them were out of the city.
"Now, | desire to give notice to
the house, that there will be from this
time on no business done by unani-
nous consent, and that no business
of any sort will be done by the house
except under the rules, or special
rule, until the conferees on the state
hood bill have made report to this
house.
