Concerning this statement made In

Walter George Smith Invited.

In both branches a concurrent resolu.
ton was adopted authorizing the gov
ernor to invite, in the name of the leg
islature, some member of the national
commission on uniform legislation to
address the two houses at an early date
on legislation necessary to effect uni
formity in the state laws relative to
stock transfers, negotiable instruments,
uniform sales acts, bills of lading, ware
house receipts, all of which are prepared
under the direction of and recommended
by the national commission on uniform
state legislation. Immediately upon the
adoption of this concurrent resolution
kilograms were addressed to President
Walter George Smith of the national
commission, at Philadelphia, who will
be asked to send representative here
to address the legislature on the subject,
and it is expected that laws will yet
be passed identical with those of other
states on the same subject.

REVEAL CRAVE SECRETS
GREAT BRITAIN, JAPAN AND RUS
STA OF ONE MIND.
1t Is Said England Seeks to Humiliate
Us as Her Rival as Mistress
of the Seas.

Washington, ID. C.-Statements were
made by officials of the administration,
and notably by the state department.,
which revealed international Hscrets of
moment and illuminated ominoRsiy the
proved antagonism of Great Britain,
Japan and Russia to the progress af the
United States in the far East.
OF first Importance are the following
facts, officially declared:
First-That Great Britain is the sole
obstructionist to New York capital being
assigned it's share in the Hankow rail
road, which is commonly known as the
Chinese loan.
Second-The success of the state de-
partment in obtaining the railway in
Manchuria was opposed by Russia and
Japan automatically, but was absolute
ly nullifed by the entrance of Great
Britain into the Russo-Japanese and anti
American alliance.
Third-The motive of Great Britain is,
according to the best information, the
subordination, if not humiliation, of the
United States; Great Britain's prospect
i've rival as the future mistress of the
seas That the greatest naval power will
control the Pacific is an axiom both at
the state department and the navy de-
partment

Redistricting Bill Will Pass.

The most important piece of legisla-
ton of the day was the taking up of
the circuit court redistricting bill by tho
house committee on Judiciary Tuesday
afternoon, the committee sitting for
three hours in busy session with this
one bill before it. The committee heard
from several prominent lawyers of the
state, not members of the legislature,
including G. Wood Magee of Monticello,
r. N. Miller of Hazelhurst and A. T.
Stovall of Okolona, and the entire bill
was freely discussed and finally favor
ably disposed of. 1t was ready to re-
port to the house at the evening session
and without doubt that it would pass.
Notwithstanding as outlined the meas
ure is not entirely satisfactory to every
one, the prospect is that the bill will
become law before the end of the
week.

Subpoena for Vardaman.

Judge Sam Cook of Clarksdale, sitting
as the special Judge for the ensuing term
of Kinds county pending the assumption
of duty by Judge viii A. Henry, opened
court at the usual hour Tuesday morn
ing and started the mill to grinding.
Whether there will be any grist turned
into the court as a result of the specific
charge of Judge Cook concerning the
alleged debauchery or undue influence
practiced during this legislative session,
will not be Immediately manifest,
though it is expected that there will be
some probing done. 1t is stated about
the courthouse that whenever he returns
to the city from his lecture tour, ex-Gov-
ernor Vardaman will be served with a
subpoena to appear before the grand
jury. 1t is supposed that he will be
wanted to give such information as may
be in his possession relative to the al
legged bribery and other corrupting in
fluences used during this session of the
legislature. The ex-governor is at pres
ent in Oklahoma and is filling other en-
gagements that may keep him absent

MOB PLUNGER PATTEN
POLICE RESCUE CHICAGO SPECU-
LATOR FROM THRONG.
Many of Those in Mob Lost Money in
Recent Cotton Rise, and Blamed
Patten for It.

London.-A hostile demonstration ON
the floor of the cotton exchange at Man
chester, and one directly contrasting it
for friendliness on the corn exchange at
Liverpool, was met with Friday by
James A. Patten, the Chicago wheat and
cotton operator. In the first, Mr.. Pat
ten was mobbed and probably escaped
injury only by being rescued by the
police; in the latter he was greeted
with cheering and other manifestations
of friendlinesJ.
The brief vacation in England of the
Chicago operator had been spent mostly
about the Liverpool markets, and Fri
day he made up his mind to run over to
Manchester to see the city and visit the
cotton exchange. 1t was known to Mr..
Patten that there had been threats of
an unpleasant reception should he visit
"Cottonopolis," but he refused to be-
lieve they would be carried into effect.
These threats, it is said, emanated
from persons on the exchange who had
lost large sums as result of Mr. Pat
tens operations in Chicago and from
o1HeiS WIZ nelu MIN feSpouSlDle IOr JHe
rise in the price of cotton and who be-
leved that his visit to England had for
its purpose the manipulation of the mar
ket.
Hardly had Mr.. Patten touched the
floor of the Manchester exchange before
the outburst came. He was hooted and
jeered by the throng and then surround
ed and hustled to the street The crowd
followed even here, and did not desist
in it's manifestations of dislike until the
American had been placed in cab by
the police and started for the railway
station, where he took the first traih
back to Liverpool.
Arriving in Liverpool, Mr. Patten just
had time to visit the corn exchange be-
fore it closed for the day. The floor
was crowded with members, who evinced
their sympathy with him for the treat
ment that had been shown him in Man
chester by taking off their hats and
cheering him when he referred to the
incident

Beauvoir Gets 500. oooo.

Mr.. Vance explained the Beauvoir APP
preparation bill, and the senate readily
passed it, the $4,000 being given, so
that the cottages might be completed,
the culinary and hospital departments
improved, and the present number of
135 veterans be increased by the forty
now on the waiting list. This move will
be benefit to the veterans on this list,
and to the daughters, also, many of
whom have the care of veterans who
should be in the home. The senate
passed the Old Ladies' Home bill, giving
this institution $4,000 for the two years
1910 and 1911.

During this week two most important
committees will have the right of way,
these being the appropriations and judi
ciary, though an effort is to be made to
get the floor for consideration of revenue
measures, which will consume several
days. There will be little idle time on
the hands of the solons from now until
the day of adjournment, and many of
the less important measures pending will
of necessity have to remain on the cal.
endars for another legislature to take
I'D and wranglc over.
