ed to violent attack of heart disease. A ha-
tive, we think, of POntotoc county, his boy

went to Bastrop, Texas about two years be-
fore the war, When the call to arms was
sounded he enlisted in Texas regiment serv-
ing in various assignments until the surrender
after which he returned to Chickasaw county
engaging in conn ercial pursuits at Houston.
In the early seventies he removed to Aber-

with the city's social and commercial life up
to the hour of his death.

NO TRUTH IN THE
COPPER STORIES

NEW YORK. Jan. 31.-The stories of
an alleged meeting of the Northeastern

appeal by that meeting. to. Attorney
General Bonaparte charging the larger
copper interests with storing metal to
force an increase in the price, which
was sent out. by the Associated Press
on Friday, January 25. and on Sunday
January 81, prove to be wholly untrue
and seem to be the. result of a cleverly
devised scheme to use the Associated
Press to affect the stock market. No
such. organization as the Northeastern
Metal Dealers Association exists, and
no such meeting was held. 1t Is proper
to say the matter was furnished to
the Associated Press by the New York
News. Association, which. is accounted
thoroughly reliable; that it came in
the regular. course of business and that
there was nothing about it to arouse
any suspicion as to it's accuracy.

OFFER TO PAY BUT
25 PER CENT
Terms OF Transatlantic
Agents for Settlement
Are. Very .Discouraging
LESS THAN EXPECTED

Tt appears that the 1900 policy hold
ers OF the Transatlantic Fire Insur
ance Company viii fare even worse
than had been expected. Instead of
settlement on a so per. cent basis, the
terms offered by the company yester-
day would yield barely 25 per cent of
the amount of the policies.
The throng Of claimants met the
representatives of the corporation at
Calvary Church yesterday and was
told ia detail of the best that the
company could do" 1t has. plan of
disposing OF its assets and paying the
policy-holders in installments.- The to-
tai amount of the claims in San Fran
cisco is s5672,76O and of this. it ap-
pears, according to the corporations
statement. that less than g fourth can
be paid.
The proposal OF the Transatlantic
IS IN the nature of an ultimatum.
Ninety per cent of the policy holders
must agree to the settlement and do
so within the rext few days. II they.
DO not enter into the compact, their
only recourse viii be to bring suit in
the courts of Hamburg. not later than
April IS. l9 or 20 of this year.
The claimants must act quickly,
whichever course they take, and the
situation is most discouraging to them.
The company has announced its inten-
tion of winding UP affairs and retiring
from business.

Jersey City People Suffer From Inade-

JERSEY CITY, JAM 31.-Jersey City
strap hangers are having a contest
with the street railroads similar to
that being waged in San Francisco.
Mayor Pagan said to The Calls repre-
sentative today:
The trolley service has become well nigh In
tolerable. In the rush hours at night people are
kept waiting for in an exposed and uncom--
Portable place at the ferry.
When the belated cars arrive they are i'm
mediately packed by the rush of the waiting
passengers who crowd the platforms and hang
to the straps in the aisles. This unseemly
crowding is always uncomfortable. is constant
wear upon the nerves of the tired workers is
unsanitary and often positively indecent The
only possible for this condition is that
the company does not wish to expend the money
necessary to provide sufficient number of cars
to handle the traffic during the rush hours. In
other words our people subjected to these
shameful conditions in order to enable the owners
of the trolley company to pay dividends or inter-
est upon millions of dollars OF watered stock
On January 81 l approved an ordinance passed
by the Aldermen, through its Board of Street
and Water Commissioners. requiring the street
railroad corporation to run a sufficient number
Of cars during rush hours to provide with seat

ordinance Some OF our citizens have refused to
pay their fares unless provided with seat The
court issued an order yesterday suspending the
ordinance until a writ OF certiorari should issue
to review it.
The corporation counsel Of Jersey City is con-
ndent that the ordinance will eventually be de-
clared valid.

against the so-called Theatrical trust, :,
charging conspiracy and restraint of
trade The Indictment is against Nixon

it was alleged, she was forced to play
in independent houses through the
country, and in some cities. where she

The anttJapanese feeling upon the

In an assault upon Japanese trading
places last month, constituting a most
fragrant violation of the rights guar
anteed by the treaty concluded upon
an equal footing between the two ma

These anti-Japanese acts are not OF
temporary nature and the federal
government at Washington must be
held responsible for its failure to pre-
vent such outrages
The attitude of our government to-
wards that In Washington has SO far
been unsatisfactory TO the nation and

PRESIDENT At JAMESTOWN
Executive Pays Second Visit
to the Exposition.

Norfolk, Va, June 11.-Brought
back to the jamestown exposition by
the formal opening Of Bulloch hall,
the ancestral home of his mother at
Roswell, Ga. and reproduced here as
the Georgia state building, President
Roosevelt was for the second time the
central figure of an attractive exposi-
tion programme.
Outside of the features arranged In
connection with the celebration or
Georgia day the military and naval
spectacle was not greatly dissimilar
to that which marked the visit of the
president when the exposition was
thrown open on April 26. He was the
guest of the exposition for about nine
hours, having arrived with a special
party. including Mrs. Roosevelt, on
the Mayfiower at 500 a. m. After re-
ceiving the Georgia officials ON board
and with them as his guests review
ing the fleets assembled In Hampton
Roads he was landed at the exposi-
tion grounds at about IL O'Clock. He
made a speech as part Of the Georgia
day exercises In the forenoon and
made another at the convention OF the
National Editorial association In the
afternoon He reviewed the parade OF
the military and navy forces, visited
the negro exhibit, participated In the
presentation of a silver service by the
state of Georgia to the battlesh1p
named for her, attended reception
given at the Georgia building by Geor-
CLANS alone In honor of himself and
Mrs. Roosevelt and visited informally
the New York state building. He de-
parted for Washington at about 5
o'clock
Every part Of the exposition grounds
except the "warpath" was covered by
the president In his strenuous day.
The reservation was thronged with
the greatest attendance since the open
ing of the exposition and the pres
ident was given reception fully as
enthusiastic as that accorded him on
the occasion of his first visit.

ANARCHY IS FEARED
Revolt Of French Wine Growers
Causing Apprehension.
ULTIMATUM TO GOVERNMENT
Demand designations OF All City,
Town and Communal Officials and
Refuse to Pay Taxes Unless Par
Lament Grants Relief Asked For.

Paris, June 1.-THE revolt of the
wine growing population in the south
Of France Is causing considerable ap-
prehension In government circles. By
the terms of the resolutions, which
100000 people at Montpelier swore
with upiffted hands TO execute. the
departmental, city, town and com
munal officials must resign and the
inhabitants refuse to ray taxes unless
parliament affords relief. Several
mayors, headed by M. Farroul. mayor
of Narbonne, have already resigned
and If this example is followed con-
dition bordering on anarchy will result
and the civil government will cease to
reign from the Spanish frontier to the
Rhone, comprising the departments
of Herrault, Aude, Haute-Garonne and
Pyrenees-Orientales. The situation
is all the more grave because 1t con.
stitutes a unanimous protestation OF
the population and, being unaccom-
panied by disorder. furnishes the gov

force.
Marcellin Albert, the leader of the
movement, was until couple of
months ago an obscure wine grower
Of Argeliers. Now he is acclaimed as
"redeemer" and seems to hold the
south of France In the hollow OF his
hand. His orders are implicitly and
unquestioningly obeyed and by the
powers of organization with which he
Is endowed he has proved himself to
be born leader of men. Ii Is realized
among the hot blooded people of the
South that such a man might fire
formidable revolution.
The governments bill providing for
the suppression of the manufacture of
fraudulent wine comes up In the cham
Der of deputies shortly. but beyond
passing this bill the government can
do little, all the experts who have in
vestigated the conditions having found
that the real depression was caused
by overproduction, for which even the
rigorous suppression OF fraud will be
no remedy. The only solution, they
report, is the abandonment Of much
of the wine acreage In favor of reg
ular farm crops and truck gardening
