TIMBER DESTROYED
AT PASCAGOULA, MISS.
Special to The Nesos.

Special to The Nesos.
Pascagoula, Miss, April 2S.-Fire,
that originated from sparks from a
locomotive that was backing into the
switch of the West Pascagoula Gre
osote Works at 10 o'clock yesterday
morning, caused considerable appre-
hension and excitement, owing to fear
that the high northwest wind that pre-
vailed at the time would communicate
the blaze to the large buildings Of
the creosote plant and that from them
it would wipe out the entire settle
ment
The flames started in a huge pile
of timber and lumber that was in the
yards, and which was to be creosoted
for the L. G. N. Railroad. This mate
rial was stacked alongside of the
tracks just west of the plant. and for
tunately the strong wind was blowing
away from the buildings, else nothing
could have saved them.
Owing to the infiamable nature Of
everything around the place, and the
seeming inability of the local fire
fighting force, the fire ragged and the
entire heavens was filled with dense
black smoke. The people, fearing ;
rapid spread of the flames, telegraph
ed to Biloxi, Ocean Springs and othe
points for help, and prompt respons'
came. The department of Biloxi wa

GRANTS BIRTHDAY
Observed YESTERDAY
(By Union Associated Press.)

Washington, April 2S.-Grants
birthday. the eighty-eighlh alniversa-
ny of the great soldier and statesman,
was informally observed yesterday
by veterans of the national capitol.
A topic of lively discussion among
the veterans is the project to muster
in General Frederick Dent Grant, son
of U. S. Grant, into the United States
army as a civil war soldier, emitting
him to membership in the Grand Ar
my of the Republic The ceremony
is set for the day after tomorrow,
April 20, the anniversary of the bat
tie of Grand Gulf in 1868. There has
been some criticism of the plan, but
this has been effectually answered
by a congressional bill. Harmon w.
Brown, who was secretary to Gen.
U. S. Grant during the civil war, de-
clares that Fred was commissioned
lieutenant and received his wound
from Confederate bullet, not from
a Union sentry's musket while re-
turning from a jaunt with youthful
companion. Mr. Brown says:
"The service of Gen. Fred Grant
during the Vicksburg campaign is re-
ported as that of boy playing
around CANINE in oouonopv with an.
other lad; that the family of Gen U.
S. Grant was with him and other Off
GERS families. There is no truth in
that statement On January 10, 1868,
our headquarters We're moved to
Memphis, and on the Goth took Mrs.
Grant and her two children, Nellie
and Jesse. to Louisville.
"The headquarters were at Mill
, ken's Bend, La, April 20, and the
siege of Vicksburg did not begin until
May IS, when the city was invested
by the three army corps, and lasted
until July 8, the surrender being
made that night
Erred Grant carried a commission
as lieutenant and aide de camp, boy
as he was, signed by command of his
father and officially signed by Col
W. S. Hillyer, provost marshal-gener
la of the department. I wrote it at
Oxford, Miss.
Fred Grant was left behind at the
crossing of the Mississippi and Joined
us on the battlefield at Port Gibson
He had no special attention from his
father, and was frequently in my
mess and my tent, and he went
through the campaign. being in the
front of the fight and on all the bat
tlefields, sleeping on the ground, very
often, just as we did. He received
an honorable scar from a Confeder
ate bullet, and it is great mistake
for any one to think that Major-G en-

ferrous. Had he resigned he would have
injured the party far more than himself.
For behind all the talk about his tyranny
and narrowness was some personal dis
content over committee assignments
which his resignation would not have al
iayed. His enemies seemed more bent on
destroying Mr.. Cannon than strengthen
ing the organization for business.
Though importuned to interfere, the
President kept his distance. Concerned
as he must have been about the situa-
ton, he realized that in it's personal
phase it was none of his funeral. He did
not set up as an authority on parlia-
mentary procedure. He had nothing
''agin" Uncle Joe. And, more than all, he
was not member of the House. Why
should he interfere? Very wisely. he
listened to both sides but gave to neither
any advice not keyed in partyism rather
than factionism. All he wanted was leg
islation in keeping with the party's prom
Uses. and necessary not only to the coun-
try's good, but to the republican party
salvation.
Shall we get that now Will the repub-
licans of the House hang together? If
not, many Of them, as DIR. Benjamin
Franklin would say. are likely to hang
separately. The accounting to the people
this year must be thorough. Public
servants asking for Endorsement at the
polls have got to come across" with full
particulars of all the deeds done since
their latest commissions issued. The
spirit of Missouri will overspread the
whole map from ocean to ocean. and all
the voters will demand to be shown.

Indiana.

This is an important week in Indiana
politics. The new republican state COM
mittee will organize for the campaign,
and Senator Beveridge. who will be pres
ent. IS to speak. A keynote is expected
He is his party's recognized leader. and
his seat in the Senate Is in the scale
Mr.. Beveridge is a young man for the
honors he has won. Under fifty. he is
candidate for third term in the Senate,
where, in the past half century. Morton,
Hendricks, Mcdonald Turpie, Harrison,
Voorhees, and Fairbanks-all notable men
have appeared. Indiana has long occu-
pied high place in both houses of Con-
gress, and is now state Of such wealth.
and resources, and development she needs
to take particular care in the matter
of her national legislators
In 1903. after long period of control,
the republicans lost the state. The tenn
perance issue did the work VETS and
drys fought it out. and the wets-the
democrats-won. They elected both the
governor and majority of the legis-
lature. and besides secured many advan-
tages in city and county affairs. The
overturn was emphatic.
In politics brewers and distillers are
hard taskmasters. The proposition with
them is the very simplest matter of bust
ness. There must be something definite
in a campaign for them. or they take no
interest in it. When they do take an
interest, it is a warm one. They are
liberal spenders, and know where and
how to invest their money.
These men in Indiana are complaining.
They do not charge bunco on the demo-
r;<, &c
Portable as they could wish it, and they
want some definite assurances for the
future. If they assist this year In the
election of another democratic legislature
what will there be in the victory for
them? They are opposed alike to state
wide prohibition and to the county unit
proposition, and they want the bars
raised high and made strong against
both. Will the democrats give the de-
sired assurance?
Mr.. Beveridge is to meet new test.
He won his spurs on the stump, and is
known principally for his oratory. He
speaks well, and draws large crowds.
Personally a clean man. he is admired for
his character by both sides. But he must
now show quality an organizer and
planner of victory. Oratory accom-
plishes much, but it does not collect
sinews of war, set squadrons in the
field. Does the senator, in addition to
the gifts he has already exhibited, possess
that gift?
The republicans seem to be united. And
it is fortunate for them that Mr.. Fair
banks, who is fine manager and very
popular at home, will shortly return from
his trip around the world. He is to re-
sumo the practice of law, but we shall
probably see him continue to take an in
terest in politics, and in such a campaign
as is approaching his assistance should be
most valuable.

Talk of War.
" Orleans Picayune.

From the New Orleans Picayune.
There is nothing more curious than the
persistence Of the talk about the immi-
hence of war between Germany and Eng
land There Is apparently no cause for
any outbreak Of hostilities. Both nations
are sustaining each to the other the most
friendly relations. The subjects OF both
governments go and come each to the
others country without the least hesita
ton restraint. The monarchs of the
two countries are near kinsmen Their
respective dominions are separated by
seas and there is no question as to
boundaries and no possibility of raid on
either side across the frontier The two
countries carry on great commerce in
exchanging each with the other their re-
spective commodities, and war would be
to both the greatest of possible evils
And yet the war talk goes on, and both
sides are working with might and main
to build Dreadnought battleships and to
Increase armies and ornaments.

Billionaire Not in Sight.
From the Troy Budget.


There have been those who have ex-
pressed apprehensions that the billion
aire was to be evolved during our stay
on earth. and that with the power which
his vast wealth would give him he would
be danger to the great body of the
people.
The opening of the New York city tax
books dispels that fear. According to
those books Andrew Carnegie is worth
only $5,OOO,OOO. John D. Rockefeller
$2,5OO,OO0. his brother William but $780,
600, John Jacob Aston 100000. J. Pier
pont Morgan but 100000, while there is
no Vanderbilt who has more than a mil
lion. and William r. Hearst's holdings
do not reach the dignity Of six figures.
So there is no need to fear the Millionaire
unless the richest men In the country are
lodging their taxes-which 1t is possible
they are.
