ExcursIonists Fight.

Berlin, Aug. 2.-Friction between
English and American tourists and Ger
man excursionists, eliminating in fist
fight between two of the belligerents and
threats to kill marred the cruise of the
steamer Oceans, just returned from q
voyage TO Scandinavia. According to
the captain of the steamer he was COM
PEELED to expell r. H. Hood and wife
OF New York. Hood and German had
a personal encounter which led to the
Americans being set ashore, although
American 70, agers declare the German
was the aggressor. Passengers OF English
and American nationality are vigorous in
denouncing the action of the captain.
They say he refused to return Hoods
passage money when he was forced to
leave the steamer. Trouble started when
Pickins insnlted Mrs. Hood at dinner.
The American avenged the insult by
knocking the German down. Pickins
10 great anger challenged Hood to duel
with swords or pistols. Hood scofned
this offer, but announced his willingness
to settle the score with bare fists. There
upon the German proclaimed Hood q
coward and threatened 10 "shoot him
like dog" When Hood replied that
he was able to take care of himself and
would certainly shoot If attacked The
captain ordered him ashore at the next
stoppipQ place.

WILLIAMS LEADS.

Reports on the primary elections in
Mississippi received up 10 late hour
last night indicate the choice of John
Sharp Williams for Senator, with indi-
cations, however, that CIV. Vardaman
is making gains in the southern coun-
ties.
OF the 70 counties, Vsrdaman claims
to have carried 81, while Williams claims
a majority of from 1000, to 10000.
At Jackson, both headquarters claim the
victory, Williams by 10000, and Var
daman by 10000.
Scattered returns from the delta coun-
ties and the eastern section of Missis-
sippi show Williams leading Vardsmau
by PERCENTAGE of to /.
Conservative estimates made at Jack
son upon the basis of the results 80 far
received place Williams probably ma
jOrity at Is, 900.
Not less than 1000 democratic
ballots we're polled in the primaries,
which were held to nominee a Senator
and two gubernatiorial candidates for
the second primary.
The nomination by yesterdays pri-
maries is equivalent to election. Varda-
man as yet comedies nothing.
Mr.. Williams was born July 30, 1854,
in Memphis, Tenn. His mother died
when he was a mere child, and his
father was killed at the battle of Shiloh.
After spending a number of years in the
best Southern schools he entered the
University of Heidelberg, Germany, and
on graduating from that institution took
law course at The University of Yir-
ginia. He left the university having
completed his course, in 1875, and
entered at once in the practice of law.
He was elected to Congress from the
Fifth Mississippi district In 1898, and
his service in the house has since been
continuous. He was the democratic
leader in the House in the Fifth.eighth
and Filty-ninth Congr esses.
