County Farm.
We have visited the county farm
and find the prisoners well cared for
SO far as food and bedding are con-
cerned. Some complaint was made
that the needful wearing apparel has
not yet been procured for some pris-
oners; no complaint was made of
cruelty or ill treatment from those in
charge of the prisoners.
Hotels and Office Buildings.
We have inspected the hotels and
office buildings of the city and find
same provided with fire escapes as
provided by law. We would suggest
and recommend that the opera house
of this city be provided with better
fire escapes for the second and third
floors.
Markets.
We visited all the butchers Of the
county and found all of them who
were found at their place Of business
complying with the law in keeping a
complete record OF all cattle killed
with ear marks, color, brands, etc,
except where purchasers of large num-
bers of cattle are made, and in such
cases the butchers depend upon the
party from whom he makes his pur-
chase to keep the required record.
Cotton Seed Trust.
We have investigated the organiza-
ton of the cotton seed crushers asso-
citation at jackson recently and to the
best of our knowledge same is not in
violation of the laws OF the state of
Mississippi.
Miscellaneous.
We have Investigated the practice
of certain attorneys of the city, who
may be termed professional bond
makers, and find they are permitted
| by both city and county officers to
make bond for their clients continu-
ously without any regard to their n
nancial ability to make good such
bonds in case of default We would
discourage this practice and request
both city and county officials to be
more careful in the future in the mat
ter of approving bonds when signed
by persons already over bonded oil
with no assets.
We have information which leads
us to believe there is laxity In the
matter of getting returns on execu

Pck'ng, Nov 27. Dromior Yuan
Shin Kai is practically without ca5i-
net, only the presidents of the minor
boards having accented offices. The
finance board is without q minister
and the vice-ministcr left Peking to-
day, after Informing a personal friend
that he did not intend to return. The
military activity on the part OF Yuan
Shin Kai is considered a forlorn hope,
Thirty foreigners, most Of them
Americans, arrived here tonight from
Tai Yuan Flu. They were given safe
escort both by the rebels and by the
imperialists.
The diplomatic body through the
dean OF the corps, Sir John Jordan,
has represented to the Premier the
necessity of avoiding disorders in Pc
king. The ministers believe that the
legation guards will be able to pre-
vent a massacre, unless it is thorough
ly organized and suddenly precipitat-
ed.
BY order OF the police dragon flags
are flying throughout Peking, ,emble-
matte of the peoples joy at the for
nation Of a new constitution.
Peace is Hoped.
The regent today, with elaborate
ceremonial, took the oath, swearing
adherence before the emperor's table
in the ancestral temple to be the nine
teen constitutional articles. The oath
was as follows:
my policy and choice OF officials
have not been wise; hence the recent
troubles. Fearing the fall of the sac
red dynasty, l accept the advice Of
the national assembly. I swear to up
hold the nineteen constitutional ar
ticles and organize a parliament ex-
cluding the mobiles from administra-
tive posts. ! am and my descendants
will adhere to it forever. Your heaV-
enly spirits will see and understand ="
The lower classes believe this dec
laration means that peace will be pro-
claimed, but the educated classes are
not impressed. They think Yuan Shin
Kai is so embarrassed that he would
return home. but that he fears his de
parture would be the signal for a
panic and a Manchu outbreak.
The latest consular reports from
Nanking say the revolutionary forces
have suffered enormous losses, but
that they pressed irresistibly forward
and finally revolted the imperialists,
who fled into the city for shelter. The
Nanking batteries then opened and a
deafening cannonading was still 60
ing on when the dispatches left.
