VARDAMAN WINS
New Legislature VIM be Domlnatss
by His Supporters.

New Legislature VIII bo Dominated
by HIS Supporters,
Jackson, Miss. Returns from the
Democratic primary election in
Mississippi show that political revo-
luton has occurred in the State.
James K. Vardaman was nominat-
ed for United States Senator over
both of his opponents, Senator Leroy
Percy and C. H. Alexander.
The new Legislature will be domi-
mated by a large majority of Varda-
man supporters and it is reported in
political circles that one of the first
acts Of that body will be to order a
sweeping investigation Of the election
of United States Senator Percy by the
previous Legislature in 1910.
The campaign was fought on the
record of the Legislature in electing
Percy. After Percy was elected it
was charged that he was elected by
corrupt methods. State Senator Theo-
dore G. Bilbo charged that he had
been paid bride Of $645 to vote for
Percy. Bilbo claimed that he accept
ed the bride for the purpose of trap
ping L. G. Dulaney, one Of Percy's
campaign managers, who, Bilbo
charged, paid him the bride. Bilbo
ran for Lieutenant-Goyernor in the
primary and the returns show that he
was nominated over both Of his OPP
ponents.
NJ isaalso reported In political cir
cles that a strong effort will be made
when the new Legislature convenes
to impeach Governor e. F. Noel.
Governor Noel fought Vardaman Bit
terly and the supporters of Varda-
man charged that the Governor vio-
lated the law and committed offenses
that Will justify his impeachment.
Noel's term will expire within
month after the new Legislature con-
yenes in January

PRESIDENT SIMON AN EXILE.
His Departure Marked by Sensation
al Trapedy--The Revolution
TrIlmpha.

Port au Prince, Haiti.--The revo-
luton in Haiti has triumphed. Presi-
dent Antoine Simon fed the capital
and took refuge on board the Haitian
cruiser II Decembre, formerly the
yacht American. With him are his
wife and children and number of
his followers.
On all sides the capital is invested
by followers Of General Firmin, one
of the revolutionary leaders.
The city itself is in the hands of a
committee of safety, and there is no
general disorder
The departure of the aged Presi-
dent was not without disorder, how
ever, for, as he was embarking at
the wharf, there was riotous
demonstration in which the ex-Presi-
dents chamberlain, Deputy Prin, of
Peremie, and five other persons were
killed, and Clementina Simon, his
daughter, and six other persons were
wounded. The injuries of Miss
Simon are slight.
President Simon left the palace at
o'clock, after he had been informed
that one wing of the revolutionary
army, commanded by General Per
alte, had denied his request for three
days in which to secure the safety of
the city.
The General informed the French
and British Ministers, that owing to
recent summary executions by
Simon's order the President must
leave the capital Immediately or
otherwise he would attack the city
without delay.
The German and Cuban Ministers,
who went to Croix des Bouquets on
similar errand, found the rebel COM
mander there, General 'Dicaste, dis
posed to grant the truce, provided a
committee OF safety was appointed.
In view of the attitude OF General
Peralte, however, it was deemed best
that Simon Immediately lay down the
reins of government and leave the
city.

Washington. Owing to great
slides of earth and rock the famous
Culebra Cut has proven to be the
most annoying and expensive part Of
the engineering work on the Panama
Canal. The engineers fully expect
ed that good deal Of the material
would slip down into the canal prism
IN the course of excavating because
of the great depth OF the cut and the
character of the soil, but it is admit
ted that they had no idea of the
