have selected and plated the site.
In addition to the lots laid off and

days.
The purchase of lot at Clermont
Harbor entities the owner to the use
of pier, pavilion, bathing beach, bath
houses and boat harbor. The lots are
being offered on easy terms, at a
range of prices suited to men of both
large and small means,
Mr. Collier will be in the city for

VARDAMAN SIDES
With CALIFl6NIANS

Washington, April 21.-It is the in
tention of Senator James X. Varda-
man of Mississippi to say something
if there is discussion in the Senate
of the clash between the administra-
tion and the State of California on the
alien land act now pending in the
Legislature of that State. Senator
Vardaman will take the position that
the supremacy of the white race must
be upheld regardless of the sanctity
of any treaty contract. He is strongly
of the opinion that the white people
of California should not be asked or
expected to do anything that they
know is wrong and injurious to their
well being. The Senator is very posi-
tive in his views on this subject and
his remarks are expected to stir the
nation. His sympathies are entirely
with the Legislature of California in
the controversy.

RAILWAY WAGE CONFERENCE.

lew York, April 21.-In railroad
circles the hope is expressed that be-
fore the end of the present week the
wage controversies that have been
pending for months between the East
ern roads and their employees will be
in fair way of reaching a satisfactory
settlement. The arbitration board that
has been considering the demands of
the firemen is expected to submit it's
report Wednesday. Tomorrow a com
mittee representing the railroads will
meet in conference here with the heads
of the Order of Railroad Conductors
and the Brotherhood of Railway Train
men to settle the wage demands of
these two organizations. These de-
mands were presented last January.
They are said to be for standard wage
rates for men performing the same

to include a demand for a Is per cent
increase.

Toxic, April 21-The chagrln, disap.
pointment and wounded pride of Japan,
which last week was vested in angry
militant talk by irresponsible people,
became somewhat modified. The en-
tire Japanese nation now awaits with
intense interest and evident anxiety
the outcome Of the deliberations in re-
ference to the California alien land
holding bill. The government and
commercial forces of Japan are using
the utmost exertions endeavoring to
restrain agitators. They assert there
is not single responsible person eth
er in the United States or Japan who
dreams of war. It is becoming in
creasingly evident that the agitation
in Japan was largely inspired by a
small political group seeking to en-
barras the Japanese government, and
putting forward the American land
question to rouse national feeling and
hide their real purpose.

Memphis, Tenn, April 21-Missis.
slppl river levees on both sides of the
waterway south of Helena, Ark, col
lapsed Sunday under the pounding of
the flood. Neither break, however,
will materially affect the situation in
the lower valley and the area inun-
dated will be comparatively unimpor-
tant.
On the Mississippi shore a private
levee at Wards Lake, in Coahoma
county, gave way. About four thou
sand acres of farming land will be
flooded.
The six hudred inhabitants all
reached places of safety, it is report
ed, and boats were sent from Helena
last night to bring the refugees to that
city. Wards Lake is eighteen miles
south of Friar's Point.
The break on the Arkansas side oc-
Cured a few miles north of Laconia.
Water let in through this gap will add
only slightly to the territory already
flooded as a result of previous breaks
in that vicinity.
At all other points the embankments
are reported holding and conditions
generally improved. At Memphis the
river will be in it's banks during the
coming week ard farmers have begun
preparations to start planting opera
tions, Immediately after the water,
coming through the crevasses near
Wilson and Graves Bayou, Ark, re-

Bill May Not Come Up Today.

Sacramento, Cal, April 21.-In the
absence of development in the alien
land situation Sunday interest center
ed in the amendments to be offered to
the Senate measure today by Senator
Birdsall, if the bill comes up. There is
some doubt as to its being reached
as it is far down the list. BirdsalPs
amendments are designed to make the
bill more particularly anti-Japanese by
framing it so as not effect corpora
tions composed of European capital
lists. Other amendments may be of.
fered. Some members have been in
favor of striking out the restrictions
on corporations altogether, but gene.
raj opinion has been that such meth.
cd would be so easy to evade as to
make the act imperative.

SUE TO RECOVER
FROM ms. co.'s
SUITS FOR UPWARDS OF $4,000
GROWING OUT OF FIRE AT
MT. OLIVE IN 1904.

Messrs Sullivan & Conner and S. e.
Travis, representing G. L. Hawkins,
Trustee and H. S. Gray, representing
the Warren Gee Lumber Company, an
Indiana corporation, have filed suits
in the circuit court of Forrest county.
against the North American Assur-
ance Company and nine other insur-
ance companies, to recover upwards
of $4,000, with interest at per cent,
since Dec. 22, 1904, for loss sustained
by fire when saw mill at Mount
Olive, Miss, was burned in December,
1904.
The claims under the policies held
and now sued upon, have been in liti-
cation since the spring of 1905, the
supreme court of Mississippi having
recently dismissed the original chan
Gerry suits upon the ponit of jurisdic-
ton.
The principal amount involved in
this case was large and the interest
and cost that have since accrued will
greatly increase that sum.
The litigation involved in these
cases has been long drawn out by a
warm contest of every step involved
since they first got into the chancery
court.
