Rumors OF NIcnrnruan War

While at the Tivoli we met one OF
the Jackies Of the United States cruiser
'Des Moines," just arrived from Mica
ragua. They related an incident of the
existing unpleasantneSS. \ salute of
twenty-one guns had been fired at
Bluefields, and the rebel guns acknowl-
edged the courtesy with a similar num-
Der. but they CHANGED 20 aim al a Mica
raguan gunboat and blew holes in the
smokestack. They accounted for the
damage by saying that they had no
blank cartridges. but they did not ex-
plain why their guns were pointed so
exactly at the boat OF an enemy. A
thousand marines were at Camp Elliott
awaiting orders for Nicaragua, or else
where.
Mr.. Merriweather, the New York
World correspondent, arrived from
Nicaragua while we were there: he
had been spending some months on the
Pacific Coast side, in a study of the
central American revolution at close
range, which furnishes interesting
plots for a comic opera as well as ma
terial for history. Certainly some OF
the scenes must have been remark
able notably the one described when
the United States boats appeared with
supplies, and patriots and government
troops alike seemed to forget on which
side they We're lighting in the anxiety

FERNANDO De SOTO MONEY.

One of the most scholarly members
OF the United States Senate is Hernand o
DeSoto Money, of Mississippi. He may
not possess university degrees in great
numbers, but he is a thorough student,
and his learning is profound. Day by
day the Mis5is5.p .ppian can be seen ex-
amining the shelves of the secondhand
book stores On Pennsylvania avenue.
He goes from one TO another, and occa-
sionally he finds a rare old volume he
wants, and, what ever the price may be,
il he wants it, be buys it. He is almost
as familiar a figure IN the avenue ae

REGULATION OF THE OYSTER INDUSTRY.

Legislation affecting the oyster in
dustry will probably again claim the
attention of the General Assembly OF
Louisiana when it meets in May. 1t is
understood the commission itself VIII
have something to propose. According
to the canning interests, unless present
conditions are remidied, this industry
will ultimately be driven elsewhere.
In that connection the following state
ment was recently printed in The Fish
ing Gazette, published in New Y ork and
has been reproduced in other journals:
1t is a strange condition of things
when d company like the Dunbar, Lopez
& Dukate Company close down their
canning factories in Louisiana indef-
nitely, and seek a location in another
state, where they can do business under
more satisfactory conditions. 1t looks
like a shortsighted policy for the gov
ernment Of Louisiana TO permit such an
extensive industry to be hampered, etc,
without an investigation as to the cause.
The state of Alabama has offered suffi-
cient inducements to the company to
warrant their erecting a factory. It's a
question of bringing into the state hun
dreds of thousands of dollars. Alabama
gains what Louisiana loses.
Manager Dunbar, Of the Dunbar,
Lopez & Dukate Company, Tuesday
confirmed the statement that his COM
pany is to erect a factory in Alabama,
where they have been promised immun-
jtv from the conditions of the Louisiana
Commission, which, they claim, have
made it possible to operate their fac
tories.
"The Louisiana Commission closed
the waters of Lake Borgne and the
Mississippi Sound to dredging" sad
Mr.. Dunbar, and the result is ST. Be-
nard and our factories at Morgan City
and the Rigolets were compelled to
close, while we could operate partially
our factories at Dunbar, Dounut Canal
and Ostrica, throwing many men out OF
work.
| "If we cannot use modern implements
and dredge, it is, Of course, impossible
90 get supply of oysters sufficient to
operate our plants. We hoped that the
lc,mmission would realize that fact anu
elax its ruling, but it did not do So"
] Dredging in the waters referred To
vas permitted until this season. the
commission took the ground that its
action was necessary 10 protect the
,ougers. The Gamers, however, say
| ,here could be no serious complaint
from the torgers, inasmuen as the deep
! cough waves in which dredging Was
.orlnerly permitted were never accessi-
Die to the tonger5. The Gamers say
the commission has lost thousands OF
| dollars in revenue as a result Of the
| closing of the waters to them, and that
ohe industry can never reach 4 state OF
| profitable development, so IL. as the
| State is concerned, unless the canneries 5
are encouraged.

hopeful that When the Central Assem-
| oily looked into the matter the condi-
tions the} complain of will be modified

laureate OF the darkness, the soothsayef

upon itself to brood upon its own i'm

T. NJ. FAysE RETURNS TO GuLFPoRT.
Former Resident of Pennington, Hancock Co. +,
and Brother -ia-Law of Our Capt {. c.
Gray, Says Honduras Not Good For
a Married Man.-Went There With
Honduras Rubber Company.

uc blIOAI heEdiu Vi N1UIiu0s SOAIeA4A1
the following interesting article anent
the return from Honduras of MIR. T. M
Favre, who is Well-knoWn citizen OF
Gulfport and who has been for some
two or more months in Spanish Hondu-
ras:
Mr.. r. NJ. FaYre returned to Gulfport
on Saturday night and will remain there.
He says that Honduras is not a good
country for a married man or man
with family. The inhabitants are of
very poor sort, and the country is
thinly settled and the progress OF civili-
zation much retarded.
Mr.. Favre went to Honduras with the
Honduras Rubber Company, a concern
which, at present, is engaged in the
building of q railroad into the interior
from the port of New Armenia. 1t is
the intention of the company to take
out mahogany and other hard woods,
rubber and fruits. Others from Gulf
port who went to Honduras with this
ompany were Charles Schultz, Edwardc
Wells. Messrs. Maxwell, Kennedy, Paul
Krantz and Philip Martin. Mr. Martin
came back with Mr.. Fayre and, like
him, does not intend to return to Hon
duras.
The Honduras Rubber Company is
operating not far from LaCeiba, one of
the best known of the ports of British
Honduras.
Mr.. Favre describes Honduras as be-
ing a mountainous country. He found
the climatic conditions during the time
that he was there not unpleasant, and
he believes the country to be healthful.
The inhabitants are Caribs, Indians and
low-class Spaniards. Many OF the la
boring class are little better than ami
mails. Snakes and scorpions are plenti-
full. The land is as fertile as any in the
world, but the natives, like all half
civilized people of the tropical regions :,
merely scratch the surface of the ground
and do not know the first principles of
cultivation. Corn is planted by making
a hole in the ground with the end of a
machete, the universal implement and
weapon, and then putting in the seed
and pressing down the earth with the
bare foot. The country is densely
wooded in the interior, but it IS difficult
to get the valuable hard woods and rub
ber out where it can be marketed.
The government is as unstable as the
character of the worthless PEOPLE. Mr..
Favre beieyes that the country will
some time be taken in hand by people
of the white race and its great resources
will be developed. The Honduras Rub
Der Company, he says, will be able to
make a good thing out OF its conces =
sions, if it carries out its present plans,
but Mr.. FaVre has other interests here
which need his attention, besides which
he very much prefers life in Gulfport to
the sort Of existence to be had in Hon
duras.

THE LOUISVILLE & NASHVILLE R, R. CASE.
Company Has Forfeited Right to Do Business
in State
Jackson News, Tuesday;

Jackson News, Tuesday;
Under the decision of the Mississippi
Supreme Court yesterday in the case Of
State, ex rel. Attorney General, VS..
Louisville & Nashville road, the latter
has forfeited its right TO do interstate
business in this state.
The litigation originated in an effort
Of the L. &c N. road to prevent the en-
forcement Of an order of the railroad
commission by carrying the case to the
federal court. In 1906 the legislature
passed statute providing that any cor
poration that attempts to remove a suit
filed against it from the state 10 the
federal court on the ground of diverse
citizenship, shall forfeit its right TO do
Interstate business in this state. TIE
supreme court in yesterdays decl ion
sustains the constitutionality Of the
statute.
1t was stated in decision of the ST.
preme court, handed down by Special
Justice c. H. Alexander, that the stat
ute is radical, and deep questions OF law
are therein involved, but the court
could not see wherein it conficted in
any way with the state constitution,
and therefore held il valid.
About two years ago the railroad COM
mission issued an order requiring the L.
& N. to stop certain trains at Bay S..
Louis. The railroad company refused,
Attorney General Fletcher took steps
to enforce the order, and the railroad
company then endeavored to carry the
case to the federal courts.

The Overland
The King Of Cars
No other car has so large a sale-none has
made such amazing records. Price, 81 900 up

1t requires four factories, employ.
ing 1000 men-turning out 14O Over
lands daily-to meet the flood-like
demand for these cars. Yet two
years ago a hundred rivals had a
larger sale.
The reason lies largely in the cars
utter simplicity. Its able designer
made 1t almost trouble-proof.
He created an engine which, for
endurance, is the marvel of engi-
neering.
He designed the pedal control.
One goes forward or backward, slow
or fast, by merely pushing pedals.
The hands have nothing to do but
steer.
A child can master the car in ten
minutes. A novice can drive it q
thousand miles without any thought
of trouble.
The Overland always keeps going,
and almost cares for itself. All the
usual complexities have been elimi-
mated.
That is why each car sells others,
and our orders for this years Over
lands amount to $24,000,000.
