When Tillman was governor there was a revolt against his famous liquor dispensary law. He called out the militia, and the members of one com pany rendered their resignations. The governor dismissed them in a charac teristic letter, closing as follows:
 "You can depart to your homes. You do not deserve it, but l will pay youl hotel bill and trust that 1 may nevet be bothered with any more such band box and holiday soldiers"

Market dealers expect that the condition
of the weather will have some bearing upon
sales tomorrow, but do not anticipate q
serious effect upon supplies or that many
increases in prices will result. Eggs have
become q little more scarce during the past
two days, and the. price has experienced a
slight advance but as soon as the snow dis
appears from the roads the supply will In
crease and prices will take a drop. Today
fresh eggs were selling at from 80 ito 30
cents a dozen. The butter market is
weaker than 1t has been, but there has not
been enough change to affect the retail
market.
There seems to be no particular scarcity

WARNING.

New York, April II. Warned by
Roosevelt and Elihu Root that II sue
cess is to crown the efforts OF those
who are working for peace among the
nations Of the world their endeavor
must be along political lines; that
they must not, by insisting upon the
impossible, put of the day when tho
possible can be accomplished, the ma
tional arbitration and peace confer
ence which is meeting in this city un-
der the presidency of Andrew Carne-
gle, began yesterday its real activities
with two crowded sessions in Carne-
gle hail.
The president, in letter to the con
gress, expressed the hope that the
coming conference might result in the
adoption of an international arbitra-
ton treaty. Secretary Root, after sec
onding this hope, declared the United
States thought proper to urge~again
the discussion of the subject Cf the
limitation Of armament of the nations
on land and sea and the abolition of
the practice of using force in the col
lection of debts owed by one nation to
the citizens of another.

ROOT WON'T LEAVE CABINET.
He Is Deeply Interested in Carrying
Out Certain Policies.

OuI Nerta1n Policies.
Washington, April &c. - The close
personal friends of Elihu Root declare
there is no likelihood of his quitting
the cabinet before the end Of the
Roosevelt administration. They cite
number of substantial reasons to
hack UP their opinion.
Secretary Root is sixty-two years
old. He told his friends when he last
entered the cabinet that he thought
it extremely improbable that he would
again return to the active practice of
his profession.
He is deeply interested in carrying
out certain policies he inaugurated
upon entering the state department.
Secretary Root has undertaken to
weld the countries of South America
into harmonious political body
In addition he is laboring to elimi
nate all causes of irritation in the re.
lations between the United States and
Canada. ...
At least two years will be consumed
in perfecting these two undertakings.
With their completion Secretary Root
will he able to retire from public life
with the feeling that he has accom-.
plished a great work of craftsmanship
which will earn for him a place be-
side that occupied by Monroe.

City of Mexico, April II. - Word
from the center of the great destruc-
ton of the earthquake of Sunday
night was first given to this capital by
the Associated Press after repeated
trials made during Sunday night and
| yesterday morning to establish COM
munication with the stricken districts.
AS yet wires to the section are work.
ing badly and no exact estimate of the
number of the dead has been received.
1t is believed. however. that the total
death list will be large.
Wide Area Affected.
There were no deaths in Mexico
City, and beyond damaged plaster and
cracked and fallen walls. the property
loss will be insignificant.
From messages received at the tele-
graph Offices here up to noon it ap-
pears that the entire southern half Of
the republic, including the lower coun-
try and the mesa" belt. felt the
shock. In all $4,000 square miles OF
territory was affected.
500 Lives Reported Lost.
The Banc National Irrational bank
of Mexico) has received a telegram
saying that 500 lives were lost in the
destruction of Chilpancingo and Chi
lap. The telegram adds that both
cities were destroyed. In govern
mental circles the report is not cred
tied. 1t is admitted that both cities
were leveled to the ground, but it is
mot though that the death list will
even approximate 500, owing to the
fact that the houses are massive af-
fairs, built of stone in order to resist
earthquakes.
Two Cities Destroyed.
Chilpancingo, Mexico, April II. -
This city has been completely Destroy
ed by one of the wost earthquakes
that has ever visited this section. Up
to this hour the known dead numbers
eleven and the badly injured twenty
seven. The utmost panic prevails
everywhere and people are fleeing to
the open country. The earth continues
to rock at half-hour intervals, and
many minor shocks are completing
the work of destruction of the first
| earthquake.
Communication Cut of.
Word has reached here that the
town of Chipapa, forty-two kilometers
to the northeastward, has also been
destroyed. AS yet no details have
been received.
All communication with the west
coast has been cut off since the mo-
ment of the first big shock, and it is
not known to what extent that region
suffered.

Secretary Garfield Dismisses Charges
Against Minnesotan.

Against Minnesotan.
Washington, April 16. - Tams Blk
by of Minnesota, the surviving mem
Der of the Dawes Indian commission
in Indian Territory, has again been
indicated. He is advised by Secre-
tary Garfield that the charges made
against him have been dismissed.
Mr.. Bixby has been many times UNI
der fire during his long and interest
ing career as commissioner of the
Five Civilized Tribes in Indian Terri
tory, and many of the charges made
against him would have resulted seri-
ously If they had been substantiated.
In every crisis, however, Mr.. Bixby
has been able to confound his enemies
and come out with flying colors.
The latest charges filed against Mr..
Bixby were brought to the attention
of the interior department last fall.
Allegations were filed by Marshall
Mott, attorney Of the Creek Indians,
that Bixby had used his official posi-
ton to obtain bargains in town lots
from the townsite commission, and
that Bixby had given trust company
in Muskogee, in which he was sup
posed to hold stock. inside tips ON the
allotment work by the commission,
whereby the trust company made
large sums OF money in land deals.
Attorney Mott claimed to have evil
dence supporting these charges, and
the matter was laid before the depart
ment OF justice. 1t appears, however,
that Motifs evidence did not support
the charges he made.
