THE PRESS ASSOCIATION.

We promised to tell our readers
something about our trip to the press
ASSOCIATION at Hattiesburg last week,
and this is how it was:
In the first place the city through
its mayor and board of trade, extend
ed the editors hearty welcome and
the citizens then turned about to
make our visit a delightful one, in
which they fully succeeded, The
headquarters of the association was
at the Hotel Hattiesburg, where most
of the members were quartered On
Tuesday night the members were TAX
en in carriages out to South Missis-
sippi College where they enjoyed a
| delightful entertainment by the col.
lege pupils and afterwards delicious
| luncheon prepared by the Domestic
Science and Art Department, presided
over by Miss May Richardson. ALI en-
joyed the evening immensely, and the
north Mississippi editors were sur
prised to see a college of such nam,
moth proportions and modern equip
ment down among the pines of South
Mississippi
The editors will long remember the
pleasant evening spent at South Mis-
sissippi College.
On Wednesday the Association held
its meetings in the assembly room of
the hotel where all business was trans
acted. In the forenoon number of
the editors took trip down to Purvis
TO see the ruins caused by the recent
cyclone. Wednesday night at o'clock
the citizens of Hattiesburg gave lit
erary entertainment in the palm gar
/ den of the hotel which was highly en-
/ tertaining.
AT 10 o'clock the banquet, rendered
by the Commercial Club, was held in
the large dining hall OF the hotel where
wit and food were plentiful The
menu consisted of q seven course
luncheon most tastefully prepared and
served. Mr.. R. l.. Bennett, cashier
of the Hattiesburg Trust and Banking

presided over the ceremonies in a most
happy manner. A number of eloquent

the one that deserves special mention
was that of Mr.. NJ p L. Love, whose

Daniel Gaffney, teamster who lives
ct 1893 Washington street. was held
up. robbed of SIG and badly beaten by
a pair OF armed thugs shortly after 10
o'clock last night while he was walk
ing along Fell street near Fillmore.
GafTney had just left Fillmore street
and was walking close to Sacred Heart
church when two men jumped out from
behind a lot OF lumber and ordered
him TO give up his money.
Gaffney attempted to put up fight,
but one of the robbers hit him over
the head with the butt of a revolver,
which knocked him senseless. He was
picked up about half an hour later by
Policeman Dan O'Connor. who took him
TO the central emergency hospital.
AS soon as he recovered from the
effects of the blow he asked for his
clothes and upon searching them he

MANILA POSTPONFS
WELCOME TO FLEET
Reception Committee Decides to
Have Only the Water
Parade

MANILA. Sept 26.-As has been pre-
viously predicted, the formal welcome
20 the battleships of the American fleet
has been postponed on account of the
presence Of cholera in the city. The
committees in charge Of the reception,
after a conference with Governor Cen
eral Smith and number of prominent
businessmen, today decided that II
would be wisest and safest to cancel
all preparations for the celebration un-
til the feet returns from Japan in No
vember In honor of the fleets pres
ence, however. the conference con-
cluded to carry out the water parade
on the day OF arrival.
Governor General Smith is advising
the authorities at Washington of the
development OF strong criticism directed
against the health authorities of the
city because OF the fact that Manila
was not protected by quarantine and
closer inspection of the districts where
the cholera has claimed the greatest
number of victims. 1t is probable that
an investigation viii be demanded.

DOUBT THROWN ON
CLEVELAND LETTER
Executor of Former President
Objects to Article in the
New York Times
Republican National Committee
Will Give No Further Atten-
ton to Document

NEW YORK. Sept. 26.-The denial of
the authenticity of an article said to
have been written by Grover Cleveland
and published in the New York Times
caused considerable discussion ct re-
publican headquarters to-day. r. IL.
Ouiahan. in charge of the literary
ureau of the republican national COM
mittee. made the following statement
on the subject:
Mr.. Hastings, executor of the Cleve-
land estate, told me two days ago that
he was convinced that the letter was
genuine. This was after the authority
OF the letter had been questioned. Now
he comes out today and says he be-
lieyes it was not authoritative. Conse-
quently, so far as the republican ma
tional committee is concerned, no fur
ther attention will be given to the doc
ument."
Chairman Hitchcock deprecated ru-
mors that other designations, in par
ticular that of National Committee
Treasurer George r. Sheldon, might
follow that of t. Coleman Dupont. head
of the speakers bureau, whose resigna-
tion was announced last night.
Il know of no other resignations,' -
Hitchcock said, nor any 5contem-
plated"
Hitchcock also said that no success
sor TO dupont. had been selected and
none would be before the first OF. next
week Charles II. Heating of Ohio
will fill Duponts place temporarily.
1t was stated at headquarters today
that Duponts resignation did not af-
feet his position as national committee
man from Delaware and he will continue
to serve in that capacity.
Hitchcock made public the figures
furnished to him by the managers OF
the republican campaign west of the
Missouri river. He said the reports
were conservative, as they were based
on the conditions existing today and
that the situation was improving in the
west all the time. His predictions as
to the pluralities by which the far
western states would be carried by
the republicans were as follows:
Washington, 10000 to 10000; Oregon,
10000 or more: California, 10000; Col
orado, 5000 to 15, 900: Montana, between
$500 and 5000; Wyoming. 5000 to
10000; Iowa, 80. 900 to 1000, and Idaho,

DID BRYAN KNOW
OF HASKELL'S ACTS!
OklahOmans Busy Asking Qaes-
ton and Many Answer in
Affirmative
Close Connection Between Gov
ernOr and Democratic Candi-
date Pointed to as Proof
SPECIAL DISPATCH TO THE CALL

GUTHRIE. Okla, Sept 26.-"Has
Bryan had guilty knowledge of Gov
ernor Haskelrs Standard oil dalplicities
and devious political and personal
shortcomings, such as have forced even
the uncompromising Haskell to resign
under fire?"
All Oklahoma has been busy with this
question, regardless OF party Answer
ing the question outside of blind parti-
sanship. however. the sentiment here
practically asks two more questions in
answering the one:
IL Bryan did not know. how can he
keep UP the front as a capable candi-
date for the presidency?''
If he did know. how can he hope to
uphold his pretensions of being an hon
est candidate for the presidency"
But in either alternative answer the
comment OF Oklahoma's capital is that
Bryan's organization tolerated Haskell
until he was smoked out. To the OBJ
serving outsider in Oklahoma IL seems
impossible that Bryan has been ignor-
ant OF the Vaccinations of Haskell. The
interchange OF political and personal
amenities between the two In this state
ever since Bryan came here campaign
ing for HaSkelPs election leaves the
thought OF ignorance impossible.
Oklahoma'S 3 constitution admittedly
was Bryanized, while the democratic
national platform as admittedly has
been HaslCellized. And In the move
ments necessary between Oklahoma
and Nebraska the stencil OF Standard
oil has been ever present.
Before the question, did Bryan
know all this?" became acute this
morning the former chairman of the
peoples party organization in Okla
homa had started through the mails
letters charging that Bryan did know.
II. W. Jacobs. now a practicing attor-
ney at Kingfisher. made the charge
which was received this morning by
republican state chairman Norris in
Guthrie
After designating Haskell as a "po-
litical coXcomb and a commercial ma
rauder invading Oklahoma and de-
claring Haskell to be mot OF the west
but OF Wall street. Mr.. Jacobs says:
Now Bryan knew all this of Has
kell, for ! myself have informed him,
and especially so in my open letters
to Bryan, given to the public before the
Denver convention"
The presumption in Guthrie that
Bryan must have known is based upon
the intimate personal and political re-
lations between Bryan and Haskell.

QUEEN SEES EVIL
IN ELkINS MATCH
DOwager Says Dukes Marriage
With Senator's Daughter In
wolves Disgrace to King
SPECIAL DISPATCH TO THE CALL

ROME, Sept. 26.-Aroused by the
news of the breach of promise suit
brought by Ada Louise Lonsdale, the
actress, against Blaine Elkins, Queen
Margherita has renewed her opposition
to the marriage of the Duke of Abruzzi
cousin of King Victor Emmanuel, and
Miss Katherine Elkins, sister of the de-
fendant in the suit.
The dowager queen declares that it
would be a disgrace to Italian royalty
for the duke to marry into such fam
lily. She has written the king, saying
that the suit brought by the actress
offers sufficient ground for his inter-
ference.
The dowager queen declares the suit
to be a timely illustration of the un-
wisdom of alliances between the roy
atty of Europe and the totally different
types of the new world"
Other members of the royal family
are said to be Offering opposition to
the match with the daughter of Senator
Stephen B. Elkins of West Virginia.
Friends of the duke say, however
that the opposition will have no effect
on him. If the king should take a de-
termined stand against the marriage,
however, it is doubtful If the duke
would care to defy him in view of the
possible succession to the throne of
issue of the marriage.
