CROSSING DIPLOMATIC

State Department Replies to Protests
From New Orleans Commercial In

tion Of BIuefieIds Blockade.
(By Associated Press.)

Washington, D. c., July 22.-Cross-
ing diplomatic swords with Norway,
the state department, replying to pro-
tests from New Orleans Commercial
interests against Norwegian recogni-
ton of the Bluefelds, Me, blockade,
today declared Bluefelds to be an
open port Norway, it was said, was
misinformed of conditions there.
There are now tied up at New Or
leans several Norwegian steamers
which have been the means Of Blue
fields communication with the outside
world. When Norway officially recog-
nized the blockade of the Madriz gov
ernment, these ships were practically
put out Of business.
What sentimental effect the action
of the American state department can
have remains to be seen.
An effort is being made by the Mic
araguan insurgents to get ships of
British register to ply in the Blue
fields trade, but it now appears that
there are no such ships available this
side of Liverpool.

Two cotton KINGS
have LIVELY ROW
Frank B. Hayne, Bull Leader, And
Lamar L. Fleming, Chief of Bear
Clique, Exchange Blows.
(By Associated PreSS.)

New York, July 22.-The differences
of two years standing, between the
bears and the bulls of the Cotton
Exchange, that have been brought in
recent months to critical stage
through the part played by the bulls
in bringing Federal prosecution upon
the bears, had a climax Wednesday
when Frank B. Hayne, New Orleans,
a bear leader, and Lamar L. Fleming,
Boston, one of the bears, and also a
Southerner, coming from Georgia, en-
gagged in a fisticuff in Delmonico's
downtown restaurant. The direct
cause of the trouble was the charge
by Hayne that Fleming had circulated
false reports on cotton. Fleming took
Hayne to account for the statement
upon meeting him in the restaurant,
where both had gone for luncheon. A
fight followed, and before peacemak-
ers separated them several blows had
been exchanged. Neither received
any serious injuries.

WOOL Being EXPORTED
IN LARGE QUANTITIES
(By Union Associated Press.)

Boston, July 22.-There is no reas-
on why wool products should add
to the high cost of living in this
country, according to statements
given out today by local wool dealers.
Wool is now so plentiful that for the
fr-tt Tine in years it is being ex-
ported in large quantities. 1t is
stated on good authority that about
100000 pounds of foreign wolls
held in bond here have recently been
reshipped to London to be sold at
auction.
For the entire six months Of this
year Boston has exported 3,550,OO0
pounds of wool, as against the nomi-
nal amount of 10000 pounds for the
same period of last year.
These figures, however, represent
very inadequately the amount of wool
which has been taken out of the Bos-
ton market. owing to the depression
in the American textile industry.

Elliott, Miss, July 22.-In defense
Of his life Deputy Sheriff Sid McKen-
zie, of Carroll county, shot and killed
five negroes and mortally wounded
two. The killing occurred on the
place Of old Henry Beck, colored. With
a big Colts revolver in each hand, and
both working at the same time, Nc
Kenzie cut down the seven negroes in
less than ten seconds, while all seven
were advancing on him with axes
and pitchforks, with the, avowed de-
Termination of cutting him down."
Henry Ashmore and a Mr.. Rich,
who had accompanied Mr.. Mckenzie,
were by his side to assist and protect
him, but their services were not need
ed, for the onslaught was over before
they realized that it had taken place.
Mckenzie went to Carrollton, the
county seat, and surrendered to the
sheriff. He will be given a prelimi-
nary trial tomorrow, and his exonera-
tion is foregone conclusion.
A few days ago Sheriff Abernathy,
of Carroll county, went to the Beck
place to arrest these negroes for as
sault, and they made him take to the
tall timber. They literally ran him
away, and threatened death and de-
struction to any white man who came
after them. Mr.. Alternately sent Nc
Kenzie today to make the arrest, and
he carried the other gentlemen, Ash
more and Rich, with him. All were
heavily armed
Riding up to where the negroes
were at work, the officer told them
what he had come for, While he was
talking they advanced on him, some
with axes and some with pitchforks.
He warned them to lay down their
weapons and submit themselves to
the authority of the law With an
oath all seven sprang forward like
hou, IS from the leach, and in the
next moment all seven lay on the
ground, biting the dust, five instantly
killed and two mortally wounded.
Mckenzie and his companions noti-
fled some of the neighbors and went
on to Carroll, where they told what
had happened The negroes were
wanted for a minor offense.

on their own account to go deeper
into the death. 1t was at first be-

.2l STATIONS and
ALL DOING SPLENDIDLY
Mr.. Hearst is Making Inspection Of
These Farms and is More Than
Pleased With the Result of Govern
ment Methods Of Cultivation.

Mr.. J. P. Hearst, special agent Of
the agricultural department, and who
is in charge of the farmers Coop
erative Demonstration work in For
rest county, is now making an inspec-
tion of the twenty-one demonstration
farms established by him in this coun-
ty this year.
Mr.. Hearst has just returned from
an inspection of the demonstration
farms across Leaf river, and stated
this morning that he had never seen
such marvellous results accomplished
in such a short time.
"The corn crops on these farms, all
of which were planted and cultivated
according to instructions of tte agri-
cultural department, is equal, if not
superior, to that grown in the grain
belts of Illinois and Missouri" said
Mr.. Hearst.
81 have just inspected a field of
corn on the place of Mr.. H. ]. Harper,
Of Sunrise, and have never seen any
thing to equal it. 1t is undoubtedly
superior to anything ever produced IN
this section of the state, and was
grown at considerably less expense
than the old methods of cultivation
required. Mr.. Harper's cotton also,
is considerably above the average.
Il have just visited the farm of s.
Print Carter, across the river, and find
that he also has had remarkable sue
cess. One four-acre tract of land which
was planted to cotton will easily pro-
duce two bales to the acre, If not
more. Mr.. Carter is so well pleased
with the result of his experiments
with government methods that he in
tends to cultivate his entire farm ac-
cording to my instructions next year,
and says he wishes he had done so
this year"
Mr.. Hearst stated that all the dem
onstration farms he had visited were
in splendid condition, and the crops
far superior to any ever before seen
here. Quite number of the demon
strators have planted velvet beans,
and the result has been so satisfac-
tory that Mr.. Hearst believes they will
be extensively cultivated in this coun-
ty next year.
So far the boil weevil has done
comparatively little harm in this coun-
ty, the farmers on whose places they
appeared having been careful to pick
up and burn all punctured squares,
as a result of which the number of the
insects has diminished instead of in
creased.
Taken all together, crop prospects
In Forrest county are said to be more
favorable now than ever before, and
such good results have been obtained
on the demonstration farms that 1t is
believed government methods will be
employed by a number of the farmers
in Forrest county next year.

another relapse at $3.50 Wednesday
night, and before he could be over
powered he had converted John Nu-
nenmacher's saloon, at Burgundy and
Congress streets, into a miniature
slaughter pen. He wounded four men
with butcher knife. Although none
Of the wounds are very serious, the
manner in which Rodriguez flourish
ed a butcher knife threw terror into
the hearts of those who witnessed his
onslaught.
The injured are: Eddie Krammer,
twenty-eight, Desire and st. Claude
streets, cash on the right side of
the head two inches long; John Thom-
as, twenty-one, 92S Independence
street, cut over left shoulder blade;
John Adams, ewenty-eight, S41 Mazant
street, cut over left eye; John Nagel,
twenty-five, 1900 Independence street,
cut over right shoulder.
Nunenmacher and his bartender
were behind the bar and there were
twenty-five men in the place when
Rodriguez walked in. He had a
long knife which he was brandishing
above his head and there was a muir
derous look in his eye. Only those
near him noticed this, however. 9th
ers was under the impression that
the fellow was tipsy and was bran
dishing a club. Before any one was
able to realize the situation, the in
sane man began chopping at those
around him and four were cut before
the crowd behind him were able to
overpower him.
Rodriguez was employed as a
trucker by the Southern Pacific rail-
road until he became incapacitated by
reason of mental trouble. He lived
at 937 Mazant street.
