NEARLY ENDED
Many Workmen In Mississippi Are
Applying For Their Former
Positions.

Jackson, Miss, Nov. 3.-The strike
on the Illinois Central seems to be
nearing the end, insofar as the situa-
ton in Mississippi is concerned. Dis
regarding the orders of their leaders,
many of the strikers are applying for
their old positions, and the company
is moving traffic as though nothing
had happened. While the amount of
repair work being done in the shops
at McComb and Water Valley, is
small when contrasted with the nor
NAL output, at the same time it is suf-
ficient to keep the rolling stock in
! fair shape, and all trains, both freight
and passenger, is being moved in
accordance with schedules
! In the local freight Office Agent c.
T. Beven has all the clerks needed
for the transaction of business, and
it is now a certainty that several OF
the former employees will not be given
their old positions, regardless Of the
termination Of the strike owing to the
undue activity they have manifested
and that there will no longer be ;

HIS WIFE ATTENDED THE COOKING SCHOOL

tions to report to the court at 8 o.
clock this morning when it was eX-
pected the court would order a mis-
trial.
Downcast and with sore disappoint-
ment Mrs. Zee Runge McRee was led
back to her cell in the st. Landry par
ish where she had been held without
bail since the day she killed young Al
Ian Garland in September.
The case was given to the jury at
12:10 yesterday. After lunch was
served the jury began consideration
of evidence and at 3:14 p. m. reported
to the court that they were hopelessly
divided. They were sent back for
further deliberation and at 6 O'Clock
the court took an adjournment until
today.
Acting District Attorney Du Buis
son announced this afternoon that in
the event of a mistrial a rehearing
would be set for Monday of next
week. He said the state would op-
pose any motion for a change of ven
ue and would insist on the second
trial being conducted in Opelousas.
Mrs. McRee appeared to be conf
dent this morning that the jury would
acquit her within a few minutes
Even when listening to the bitter ar
raignment of herself as a murderess
and perjurer by Acting District At
torney DuBuisson she smiled and
chatted with her relatives and attor-
neys as though not in the least appre-
hensive as to the verdict.
However, after the Jury had been
ont of the court room for % minutes
both Mr.. and Mrs. McRee began to
show signs Of uneasiness Both had
expected that verdict Of acquital
would be rendered Immediately and as
the minutes passed they seemed to
become anxious and engaged in sever
al whispered conversations.
Little Velora McRee, however, did
not worry her small self in the least,
unconscious Of the trials that beset
her but romped about the court room
in these moments of anxiety,

to peace negotiations which Yuan Shi

In such case it will be difficult to

streets only fifty or sixty feet wide.
1t is reported the war board at Peking
has declined to accept the suggestion
of foreign doctors to form a Red Cross
service on the line of the Geneva con-
vention, the board seeming to feel
that the rebels do not deserve humane
treatment. The massacre, according
to advices, began before the depart

Conferences between The federa-

Springfield, III, That discussion ".~
suspended today after an exchange Of
letters defining the positions OF tho
railroad and the men. Another con

The mcns demand is for 4 fit wage
increase Of four cents an hour This
they assert will do no more than
bring the rate of pay on the Wabash
up to that Of other roads.
The letter of the railroad in reply
states that the present is an inoppor-
tune time for the men to ask for a
wage increase and that it cannot be
granted. According to the represen-
tatives Of the system federation the
men will strike unless the increase is
given them.
Enforcement of an age limit for
new employees of the Rock Island rail
road is one of the grievances which
the men allege in their demands upon
the officials of that road which are
scheduled for a hearing Monday or
Tuesday.
The men assert that they are requir-

sonal particulars when applying for
employment and that no man over A.

jackson, Miss, Nov. 5--Governor
Noel stated this morning that he had
no reply to make to the caustic inter
view given out last night by State
Treasurer Edwards regarding the
manner in which the 100000 state
bond issue was foated. That he did
not intend to pay any attention to
the utterances of that official The
governor sent to the Legislature short
ly before the afternoon session ad-
journed a special message, justifying
his sale of the state bonds with ac-
crued interest coupons attached and
also his action in ordering the troops
to McComb City and Water Valley to
prevent riOting among strikers The

pointment Of a joint committee to go

tration leaders in both branches of
the legislature made it clear in state
ments issued today that if there is
any delay in speedy disposal of pend
ing business and final adjournment it
viii not be their fault: that they in
tend to rush business through with
all possible rapidity, reach final ad-
iournment early next week.
All plans for refunding to purchas
ers of the 100000 bond issue the
amount of interest due for the first
semi-annual period, amounting to
Sl0,500. through direct legislative ap-
preparation has been abandoned. 1t
seems to be generally conceded that
this money can be voted out of the
ANasury direct to the bond purchas-
ers by a donation only, and that
would require a two-thirds majority in
both houses, which the administration
is unable to muster,
If the interest is paid to the pur-
chasers, therefore, it will doubtless
be through the executive contingent
fund. a sufficient amount being voted
into that fund to enable. the Governor
to make settlement with the interest
ed parties, and the Governor is quite
willing to assume this responsibility,
believing that the states honor and
financial integrity is at stake, and
that the credit Of the state will suye,
iuoparable injury unless this is done
Governor Noel and his supporters
are in complete control of the situa
ton, insofar as mastering a majority
in the two houses is concerned. Ever
if the final adjournment should be de
layed beyond next Tuesday, and new
members who are elected to fill va
cancies on that date are all his politi
cal opponents, he will still have a fol
lowing of sufficient strength to au
thorize a refund of the bond issue, and
Xus put it squarely before the regu

states financial integrity by provid
ing sufficient money to cancel out
standing bonds, and then float a nev
issue. at a higher rate of interest, i

acrimonious debate, during which
several members denounced Governor
Noel for calling out the troops to pro
tect the Illinois Central strike-break-
ers the Lower House of the Iegisla-
ture this morning failed by one vote
to pass the bill carrying an appropria-
ton of $4,000 to de'ray the expenses
of maintaining the state troops on
strike duty at McComb City and
Water Valley. A motion to reconsid-
or was entered. During the debate
Representative Fielder of Pike coun-
ty repeated an unmcntionable epithet
alleged to have been frequently used
by strike-breakers just prior to the
rioting at McComb City. He was de-

Marion for repeating such uncouth
language while ladies were present
in the galleries. Mr. Fielder did not
