Frank Jourdan the agent of the vot-
ing machines which have been in usa

ranging to have the State adopt the
machines for practical use in cleo
tions
He saw some of the most promin-
ent political leaders of Nevada yes
terday in Reno and left no stone un-
turned TO facilitate the passage OF
such an amendment to the consutu-
tion as will have to be adopted, if the
nrachinical election ballot is to be 81
troduced.
OF course, you know that an
amendment to the constitution is not
an easy thing to get adopted, he
said in an interview. But it will
come in time, even if not taken up
by the present legislature of Nevada
Your state cannot afford to be behind
the rest of the union in the race for
up 0-dateness. When the amendment
shall be adopted l shall be ready to
talk voting machines until you can't

According to a general public rl-

of a lively one. Bills are being draft
ed to abolish capital punishment, regu-
late railroads, repeal the gambling law
and abolish prize-fghting in Nevado.
The hardest fight will be made by the

Famous Flag Exhibited.

The American flag which foated
over Fort McHenry, near Baltimore,
in 1914, during the bombardment of
that city by the British, and which
prompted Francis Scott Key to COM
pose "The Star-Spangled Banner"
has been received at the National Mu-
scum and placed in glass case for
exhibition. It has been loaned TO
the government by its owner, Eben
Appleton of New York.
The flag is so old and torn that il
had to be reinforced with a canvas
backing. It is twenty-eight by thirty
feet.
The flag has had a checkered ca
reer since the bombardment of Fort
MeHenry. Col. Armstead, who CONF
manded the fort at the time of the
bombardment, took charge of the flag
and later gave it to his mother. The
latter presented it to granddaugh-
ter, who married member of the APP
pleton family of New York and Bos-
ton. Later it came into the posses
sion of Eben Appleton.

NEW POSTAL RULING.
Postal Card Users May Write on
Both Sides.


Washington. For years Americans
and others have been sending to the
United tates from foreign countries
postal cards and post cards (priva.e
mailing cards) with messages written
on the front as we'll as on the back
Of the cards, although in this country
this advantage has been denied the
users Of government postal cards.
Some months ago the United States
postal laws and regulation were
amended SO as to give that-privilege
to buyers Of post card but such con-
cession was not made applicable to
postal cards.
In order to remedy this inconsistent
cy and to prevent any further con-
fusion and annoyance to the public,
postmaster General Meyer today pro-
mulgated an order effective August
10, 1907, providing that the face side
Of postal card may be divided by
a vertical line placed approximately
one-third Of the distance from the left
Of the card, the space on the left Of
the line to be used for message, the
portion on the right to be used for
the address.
Postal cards bearing particles Of
glass, metal, mica, sand, tinsel or 9TH
er such substances are declared to be
unavailable except when enclosed in en-
velopes.

Postal Inspection Changes.

Postmaster General Meyer an
nounced that new inspection divis-
ion in the postal service would be
created Aug. l with headquarters at
Atlanta, Ga, to be comprised OF
Florida, Georgia and South Carolina.
Inspector George M. Sutton Of Mis-
souri, will be promoted to inspector
in charge Of the new division. The
San Juan, P. R., division will be abol-
ished and attached to the Washing
ton division. Inspector in Charge
Frank M. Hamilton will continue as
local inspector at San Juan. Florida:
Georgia and South Carolina are now
in the Chattanooga division, but after
their withdrawal, Mississippi is to be
taken from the New Orleans division
and added to the Chattanooga divis-
ion.
The changes are ordered as part
of Mr.. Meyers plan for the reorgan-
ization of the inspection service
through the re-assignment of inspect
ors.

JAPANESE ANNOYED
AND IRRITATED
AT PROPOSED NAVAL MOVE
MENTs OF UNCLE SAM.
RIGHTS OF GOVERNMENT
As to Transporting Coal is Questioned
By E. II. Harriman-Famous "Star
Spangled Banner" Flag is Being
Preserved.

Washington-The government of
Japan is annoyed and irritated at
the scheme for garish naval display
in the Pacific at this inopportune
juncture.
Since it became known that the adj
ministration really contemplated
massing all the available battleships
in the Pacific Ocean, foreign embas-
sizes in this country have been assid-
iously engaged in endeavoring to
find out the real meaning of such a
movement and the real sentiments Of
Japan toward such a demonstration.
Here an attempt is made to sum
up their impressions as derived from
trustworthy sources:
Japan is both sorry and irritated
that any such contemplated move
ment Of battleships should have be-
come public at this time. The gov
eminent Of Japan regards the dissem-
ination Of the news of the fleet move.
ment at this time as inopportune and
tactless, and as giving the jingoes =
Of both countries basis on which 10
indulge in further wild talk of war
The news makes it infinitely more diff
ficult for the governments Of the two
countries amicably and sanely to re-
ieve the tensions in California.
Evidence is accommodating that the
basis for great part Of the war talk
in the Japanese newspapers and in
the United States rs being deliber-
ately manufactured by agents Of the
opposition to the government Of ia
pan. Some of these agents are in
this country. They telegraph out 10
Japan bellicose utterances in the ir-
responsible newspapers, and see that
infammatory speeches and writing in
Japan and the japanese press are
transmitted to this country.

Admiral Yamamoto Here.

81 think the friendly relations Ct
long standing between the United
States and Japan should be preserved
and the passing storm disappear in
the waters of the Pacific Ocean. /
firmly believe that this one incident
can not be thrown in the way of the
present relations between the two
countries which began at the time of
my birth. I"
Thus spoke Admiral Baron Gombei
Yamamoto, Japanese Minister Of Ma
rine, during the japanese Russian
war, as a greeting to the American
people on his arrival with his suite
on the Carmania. Admiral Yama-
moto has been inspecting the gun
shops and ship yards of Europe and
while here he will visit our navy
yards and ship building plants.
Admiral Yamamoto made the occa-
sion of his arrival an opportunity %
deny the reports from Toxic that the
leadership of the Progressive party
would fall on him on his return
home, and that efforts would be made
to overthrow the Sainoji Ministry.
He declined to express an opinion on
the intention of the United States to
send large fleet Of warships from
the Atlantic to the Pacific coast.

Oklahoma Constitution.

w. A. Leadbetter, Of Oklahoma,
has written to Attorney General
Bonaparte advising him Of the call
for the reassembling Of the constitu-
tional convention in that territory and
states that a large number Of the
members of the convention desired to
have an expression from the president
as to the merits of the propositions
contained in the constitution now pro-
posed. In reply the attorney general
addressed letter to W.. A. Murray,
president of the convention, saying it
is the plain intent Of the Oklahoma
enabling act, that the voters of the
two territories through their repre-
sentatives, should themselves frame
constitution; that the duty Of the
president is limited to deciding wheth-
er the constitution that they frame.
evidently satisfies the tests fixed by
congress, and that no further refer
ence to congress Of the question:
whether they are fit for statehood
would be necessary or advisable.
He further states it would be alto
gether at variance with the spirit and
purpose of the enabling act for the
president to aid in framing this in
strument when he must afterward de-
eide whether it is such an instrument
as justifes their immediate admis-
sion under the terms Of the act.

TRANSPORTING Coal.

IL E. III. Hartman really said, as
he is quoted in New York as having
stated, that because the United States
is sending coal for its warships in for
eign bottoms from Atlantic ports to
Pacific ports, There is no reason why
the Southern Pacific should not do
likewise, = and attempts to act on that
statement, he will quickly find out his
error. No private party or parties,
under penalty of forfeiture, under
existing statutes, may transport any
merchandise from one port Of the
United States to another port of the
United States in vessel belongin {
wholly or part to subject of any
foreign power.
Mr.. Hartman and others seem to
have got the impression that the Navy
Department violated this law when It
recently chartered ships flying for
eign flag to transport coal from the
Atlantic to the Pacific coast, suffic-
lent to meet tho current needs Of
the squadron in those quarters. The
Navy Department is not violating the
coastwise shipping laws. It recently
chartered foreign ships under the spe-
cifc authority Of law enacted dur
ing the second session Of the Fifty
eighth Congress, which became Eff
fectiye sixty days after its passage

Catalogue and announcement Of the
Neoshoba Fair has been received at
this department and occasion is
taken to say a few words about this
excellent institution that is now four
teen years old and growing stronger
IN favor every year. The dates Sc
tected are July 22nd to Goth inclusive,
or from Monday to Friday Of next
week. A much more comprehensive
program has been arranged this year
than ever before and the list of pre-
miums as shown by the catalogue is
several times larger than that Of last
year. The government of the Fair
has always been of the best, nothing
OF rowdy or unlawful nature being
allowed on or near the grounds. An
additional hotel has been erected this
summer and it is believed that ample
accommodations have been provided
for all who attend. The large attend
ance last year overran the facilities
for caring for it and this action was
thus made necessary. There will be a
general display of agricultural, horti-
cultural, stock, art, fancy work, do
nestle science, and everything Of in
terest to the people of Mississippi, the
cash premiums offered numbering sew
eral hundred and amounting to large
sum in dollars. In addition to the
cash premiums there have been offered
about 100 special prizes by the bust
ness and professional men of that sec
ton. The management confidently
expect double the attendance of last
year, which was in itself almost a
record breaker, and indications are
that these expectations will be fully
realized. President Graham and Sec
rotary Huston, as well as the entire
management, are to be congratulated
upon the splendid management of the
fair and the prospects for its success.
The Neshoba Fxir is one of the oldest
in the State, and stands as an exam
pie of what can be accomplished IL
the determination to do is behind the

firms who make business of supply

Every year there is an accumula-
ton in the armory here of guns, pis-
tolls and sabers which are no longer
of any use to the United States gov
eminent because of the adoption OF
high grade weapons. This mass OF
junk, as it is called by the officers, in
cludes a vast amount of weapons OF
all kinds and dates. The lot gener-
ally includes gatling guns of a model
now out of date, condemned carbines,
and rifles Of a model several years
old, bayonets that no longer fit the
model rife, cavalry equipment, and
pistols and revolvers of an old pat
tern.
The larger part of those weapons
