More Refugees at Ell Paso

Ell Paso, Tex, July 3O-Women and
children refugees from the rebel war area
in northern Mexico reached Ell Paso to-
day, swelling the colony at Ell Paso to
over 1900. The 1900 refugees, including
women and children, fed since Sunday.
Very few men are with the refugees, pre-
ferring to remain at their homes, but
many declare that they expected to be
robbed of all they had. Now that the
disorderly element is thoroughly aware of
their lack OF protection all hope has left
them Firearms have been taken from
the Americans and Mormons. They are
not SO much afraid Of rebels as camp
followers whom they fear will pillage and
plumber. The refugees have been housed
comfortably in mammoth lumber sheds
In which temporary dormitories have
been constructed. The city has put In
water, lights and sanitary connections
and the Mormon church is furnishing
food to those unable to buy. Many of the
refugees have no clothes or utensils for
cooking but these are rapidly being pro-
vided and they are being made as COM
Portable as possible. Five hundred addi-
tional Mormons are en- route to the bor-
der by wagon from Colonia Diaz as re-
fugoes. These Mormons are directly
south of the international line from Ha-
chfta, N. NJ, and they are making their
way to Hachita from their homes The
Ell Paso and Southwestern railroad is
making arrangements to employ many of
the Mormon men.
With another train of refugees from
the, Mormon colonies due here early
tomorrow, the 1000 refugees, mostly
women and children, are none too well
housed here in spite of the efforts of
the city officials.
About 1900 more women and children
are due here within the next few days
Many here are sheltered by the sheds of
a disuAed lumber yard. News from
Washington that the government was
to send tents from st. Louis brought
little comfort as at least three days
must pass before the tents arrive.

The reported threat of a massacre of
Americans in the Casas Grandes district
anu the possible consequences created a
mild state of alarm among foreign resi-
dents in Mexico City today and was COM
mon topic of discussion in all quarters.
Many who have only recently returned
from the United States where they fled
during the panic last March begin to
doubt the wisdom of having returned and
appeared TO fear that another period of
excitement might be in store for them.
Officials Not Alarmed
Mexican officials did not seem to feel
any concern over the situation and pro-
fess to see little possibility of difficulty
arising with tha Tinted States over the
affair. In fact, they were inclined to
view the threat as bluff on the part
of the rebels. intended as last desperate
effort to force recognition of their bell
lingerency
General Angel Pena, minister of war,
reported to the cabinet today that he
could have 5000 men In the district occu-
pied by the Mormon colonies IN the north
within IS hours. The nearer colonies will
be under ample federal protection by to-
morrow night.
No official communication mas been re-
ceiyed by the Mexican government from
the United States with regard TO the
present situation, according to Pedro Las
curian minister of foreign affairs. The
minister said he had been Informed by
Manuel Calero, Mexican ambassador at
Washington, that the state department
had interpellated him as to what tho Mex
lean government intended to do in view
Of the situation in the Mormon colonies.
and that he had instructed Ambassador
Calero to inform the United States that
every means would be used to protect
those Americans in the north. as we'll as

THE relations between tho two govern
ments are In every way amicable,' said
the minister.

It has been our pleasure to hear many
noted preachers, but we must confess
that Rev. @. M. Zwingle, the noted evan
geIist now holding meeting at the Cum
berland Presbyterian Church this city,
surpasses any it has been our pleasure
to hear. He is eloquent, logical and
above all spiritual from the very mo-
ment he announces his text until the
close Of the sermon. The large congre-
cations are held spelIbound, and express
sions OF regret are heard when he closes,
although he breaches from forty min
utes to an hour. Sinners quake and
tremble and Christians rejoice when
they hear him. He does not mince
words; he is against sin in every form
and ID not afraid to declare the whole
council Of God. He has associated with
him the Cumberland Quartette, and
their voices blend together perfectly.
and the people are charmed and de-
lighted with their music; other gospel
quartettes have sung il Tullahoma, but
the Cumberland Quartcttc IS decidedly
superior to anything Of the nature ever
appearing here; their voices are 50 thor
oughiy blended that they sing as one
man; their voices are strong and clear.
It IS not often that four men are found
in an organization OF this character all
possessing such splendid vocal talents.

singing viii miss treat. Tullahoma

The Withered Rose.

All. fair was the hand that plucked this flower
And pinned 1t upon my breast.
Beside the rosebush's fragrant bower,
As a token Of love confessed.
And sweet was the face that beamed in mine
A love that should grow with the years
A love- half human and half divine,
With its mingled hopes and fears.
The crescent moon hung low In the sky.
And the breezes by did tip;
A teardrop elistened in her bright eye,
But a smile played on her lip.
Not even Psyche. who outshone
Fair Venus, e'erdd seem
More lovely than that beauteous one,
Kissed by the moonlight beam.
oh, she looked an angel to me that night.
So graceful and so fair.
Was she in robes Of creamy white.
And crowned with her auburn hair.
And her voice was sweet as the thrushs note
Poured out mid the Hebrides;
And her eyes were bright as stars that float
BY night, in celestial seas.
But that times long past. the scene far away,
Yet oft viii sad memory rove
When the moon hangs low, and the night wind
play,
To that one sweet night Of love.
oh, smile and tear and love divine,
How have We forever Howni
But still this pale, withered rose Is mine,
To speak of that dear. dear onei

Promising business administration

Governor Benton Mcmillan who has
twice held the Office has again ANNOUNCE
ed and viii make the race for third
term as Chief Executive of Tennessee.
His announcement has been anticipated
and caused no surprise to those who
we're familiar with what has been going
on in the past week or so. 1t is under
stood that Governor McMiIlin's an
nouncement has eliminated Judge w.
w. Farabaugh, OF Paris. from the run
ming, as Judge Farabaugh's friends in
dictated to Governor McMillin Saturday
that unless he announced by this morn
ing Judge Farabaugh would become a
candidate.
THE ANNOUNCEMENT.
The following statement to the citi-
zens of Tennessee has been given out
by Governor McMillin:
To the Democracy OF Tennessee
Yielding to the solicitation Of many,
and desire to serve you another term,
I take this method Of announcing
myself candidate for the Governor
ship, subject to the primary ordered
for August /, to nominate Demo-
cratic candidate.
When elected, ! promise to give the
State a thorough business administra-
ton to re-inaugurate economy in pub
lie expenses; to refund such portions
SIS cannot be paid at maturity, at the
best terms obtainable, that the burden
Of payment shall be 50 distributed as
not to Cypress the people and yet to
make the debt perpetual.
| shall strive for the restoration Of
peace and good will to the distracted
State; for the maintenance Of order
and the enforcement Of the law.
Having twice served you as Governor
you know whether or not / was faith
full to the State. BY the record there
made, am willing to be Judged, and
with it stand or fall. During my adj
such economics were en-
forced, and laws passed, as to create
the sinking fund Of 1899, which result
ed in the payment Of about one-third
Of the public debt.
The law for the protection OF our
girls under IS years Of age was passed.
The Child Labor" law was enacted.
The Factory Inspection" law was
passed
The Uniform Textbook" law, which
has improved the schools and saved
OF dollars to parents, was
passed.
The Good Roads" movement, which
then advocated, and still favor, was
given an impetus that has resulted in
great highway improvement.
The taxes were collected, with GER
tainty and economy, and without I'M
necessary friction.
I propose to make the campaign on
my own merits, and without entang-
ling alliances.
Before the paimary, / shall visit as
much OF the State as can to meet the
people and discuss public questions
before them.
