Seizure of a Vessel Explained.

The State Department has re-
ceived a communication from Ambas-
sador Bryce in connection with the
seizure and release last spring in the
Gulf Of st. Lawrence of the American
fishing schooner Alert, engaged in
trap net fishing. The Ambassador says
that the action Of the Canadian al
thorities in that case was taken sole
ly with view to preservation of the
fisheries and no question Of national
ity was involved. In order to prevent
further friction. instructions have
been sent to the local authorities not
to interfere with trap nets set by
American fishermen in cases where a
license would not be refused to Brit
ish fisherman. The State Department
regards this outcome as most satisfac-
tory.

THE SOUTHERN
Is REINSTATED
AGREEMENT REACHED IN ALA
BAMA CONTROVERSY.
RAILROAD WILL REDUCE RATE
Concessions by Both Sides, But State
Has Best OF It. Judge Grosscup's
Criticise Of Present Conflicts Of
Authority.

Montgomery, Ala.-Gov. Conner and
officials Of the Southern Railroad have
reached an agreement and the license
Of the Southern railway in Alabama
will be reinstated.
Beginning Sept. l, 1907, the rail-
way and its allied lines will put into
effect the two and half cents passen-
ger fare act and the measure reduc-
ing the freight rates on ITO commod-
tiles commonly shipped in Alabama.
The agreement was not reached with
out concessions being made by both
sides. In the main it is victory for
the state.
The two rates in question will not
be put into effect permanently. The
agreement specially declares that
their operation beginning Sept. they
are subject to the final determination
as to their constitutionality and their
reasonableness, when a decision on
these questions is finally rendered
by the court Of last resort.
Meanwhile the other laws enacted
by the Legislature at is winter session
affecting the railroads Of the rail-
roads of the State will remain tenn
porarily imperative by virtue of the
injunction granted by Judge Jones OF
the Federal Court. The railroad rep
resentatives agreed that they would
appear before Judge Jones and ask
him for an order modifying the re-
straining order issued by the United
States Court two months ago, to per-
NIT Of the immediate operation, sub
ject to the final decision Of the courts
Of the two acts in question. In consid-

road representatives to permit of the
immediate operation of those two laws
the one affecting the passenger traf-
fic and the other the freight, it was
agreed by Gov. Conner that the revo-
cation of the license of the Southern
railway in Alabama should be can
celed and without hindrance by the
state The compromise affects ony the
one railroad system, the Southern.
The other railroads Of the state were
not parties to the conference. Secere-
tary Of State Julian cancelled his or
der revoking the license of the South
ern Railway. Gov. Conner expressed
his complete satisfaction with the
adjustment and counsel for the rail-
way gave out a statement that they
did not yield as matter of principle
but rather in the interest Of the pa
irons of the railroad, who would suf-
fer if the controversy was continued.

y H. : BLAKEsLEE. Jackson, Miss.

Il. =. Blakeslee II send you my
expression on good roads.
First, every person wants good
roads, needs good roads from the
cradle to the grave. All occupations
and professions call for good roads.
Second, it takes money and tho
proper use of it to make good roads.
Our road contractors do not get paw
to keep the roads in good condition.
In our county they only get from $14
to $24 per mile. am writing from
. good, honest view Of the matter and
| think that the legislature should
double the advolorem tax on the road
fund. Third, | find from examination
that our Board Of Supervisors get
about 81 900 per year for what little
they look after the roads. Now I say
let the legislature pass law to have
road commissioner and let his place
be on the roads from Monday morn
ing until Saturday night and let him
report to the Supervisors. Fourth, to
save the roads I think it would be nee
esary for the legislature to make same
appropriation to counties to be used
for road purposes when the county
adopted the broad tire system Of wag-
ons. Fifth, I want you to call this
attention Of every one that can do
anything to he gate question. / have
just passed over 1-2 miles Of road
where there are eight gates, six Of
which are across the public highway.
Let's have them taken off entirely
or let those who want them pay a
privilege of from SIS to $1O0 to be
used for road purposes. I might say
more about the plan of road working,
but as money is scarce / will close for
this time. Hope to see something
from others who are interested in this
important matter.
c. c. Gregory, Center, Miss.
Note:-Mr. Gregory writes an in
teresting letter on a subject that is
of the greatest Importance to the peo-
pie of Mississippi just at this time. It
is to be hoped that others will follow
his example and let themselves be
heard from.

that the exhibits will be many times
