POOR MARKET
FOR BOND issue
JACKSON COMMISSION WILL RE-
ADVERTISE FOR BIDS AT IN
CREASED INTEREST RATE.

Jackson, Miss, July 2.-The munic-
ipal commission has found it necessary
to increase the interest rate on the
$3.50, 900 bond issue from five to five
and one-half per cent At a special
meeting of the body today the city
clerk was instructed to advertise for
new bids to be submitted thirty days
hence,
Only two offers for the bonds were
received at yesterdays meeting. The
New York Life Insurance Company
offered to buy 100000 waterworks
series, but the commission preferred
to sell the securities in lump. Far
son & Son, of Chicago, offered for the
entire issue a bid of par, accrued inter
est, and a premium of So, the city to
defray expense of their legal investi
CATION, lithographing of the bonds, etc
In response to an inquiry the company
estimated that these items would cost
the modest sum of $4,000, and the BID
was promptly rejected.
Local bankers were confident thai
the city would be unable to float five
per cent bond, and their predictions
were verified. Owing to the presen
status of the money market there II
no demand for bonds bearing less thai
five and one-half per cent, and may no
be for several months
Under the ordinance authorizing tn
issue the commission has power to in
crease the interest rate to five and one
half per cent This means an in
crease of the interest, as compare
with the original plan Of issue, amount
ing to $50 per year.

of trustees of that institution and upon
request of President Cook, delivered
an address to an audience which filled

FURTHER RAILROAD RULINGS.

The decisions of the u. S. Supreme
Court upholding railroad legislation
in several of the States, follow the rea-
soning Of the Minnesota rate case very
closely. Where the States legislation
in controversy was contiscatory and its
invalidation was sought on the ground
Of its being confiscatory, the Supreme
Court annuls, when the proof justified
the ruling; but in the cases where the
rates specified were not pleaded as con-
fiscatory or were reasonable and not
confiscatory, and where it was not be-
lieved that the roads would be de-
prived Of their proper revenues by the
endorsements of the rates, the Court
upheld the State legislation; and this
is precisely what one who reads under"
standingly the ruling in tho Minnesota
case would expect. One of the branches
OF the Minnesota rate case was identi-
cal with this principle as decided in
the more recent Judgment Of Monday
last. In the Minnesota case, as in the
later ones, where the confiscatory plea
was made and established, the State
rates were set aside. Where the con-
fiscatory plea was not made, the way
was pointed out by the Court whereby
the roads could avail themselves Of
that plea in a later action.
In all this mass Of railroad cases the
Court held closely to the same rule OF
Interpretation, and the same ruling and
judgment. The Minnesota case itself
was directly in line with other cases of
similar character decided heretofore by
that court, and the further decisions
on Monday merely extend the same
principle to the other cases before the
court
On the other branch of the Mime
sofa case, the ruling still prevails, in
all cases where the States have Iegis-
lated reasonably as to roads whose in.
trastate rates affect interstate trans.
portation rates, and Congress has not
legislated, that State legislation has not
but in all such cases the right of Con-
gress to legislate and thus set aside the
State legislation as to this mixed trans.
portation and rates fixed therefor, is
held to be undoubted and supreme.

THE CZAR'S ARBITRAMENT.

The Emperor of Russia has deserved
well OF the world in his interposition
as between the Balkan states to pre-
serve the peace. First of all, Rumania
threatened TO jump upon Bulgaria IS
back by war which would have
amounted to a FIRE in the rear, in order
to obtain little triangle of territory
in which Silistria, a great fortress, is
the dominant tactical point. Russia in
terposed, and compelled Rumania to be
content with a part Of its demand, and
also compelled Bulgaria 10 make the
cession that Russia decreed.
More recently Bulgaria and Servia
appeared ready to fly at each others ,
throats; but note from Russia Gained
the trouble as by magic. Neither had
appealed to Russia for help, but Russia
very distinctly notified both that she
would tolerate no nonsense as between
them, AS it was crisis between the
two powers and just as the world
expected to see hostilities begin, the
Kings Of Bulgaria and Servia, respec-
lively, received each the following
identical note from the Czar:
I feel compelled to warn your majesty
that war between Bulgaria and ServIa
could not leave mo Indifferent. 1 hereby
make II known that the State which be-
gins the war Will be responsible before
the Slav cause. and that / reserve to my
self all liberty respecting the attitude
which Russia will adopt IN regard TO the
results OF such a criminal struggle.
Each knew precisely what that
meant, and each hastened to be the
first to assure the Gar that the whole
matter would be put into his hands
and each King would abide by the
Judgment of the Gar as to the limita-
tions fixing the boundaries Of the two
in the regions that are the conquests Of
the war against Turkey. 1t was dis
tinguished service for humanity, and
especially was it benefit TO the Balkan
states, that Car Nicholas rendered in

THE ILLINOIS SUFFRAGE.

The victory Of woman suffrage in H.
linois creates curious state of af.
fairs there, According to the enfran-
chiscment law as passed by the Legis-
laturo, the women Of Illinois will be
permitted to vote upon every off1ce
created by the Legislature, and will
be denied the right TO vote on every
Office created by the constitution Of
that State, Only by constitutional
amendment could they vote on constitu-
tional Offices. For example, the consti-
tuition of Illinois fixes the qualification
of suffrage, confining the privilege to
qualified males of legal residence. The
constitution also fixes certain offices
that are to be elective, as Governor and
other State officers, legislators and
Judges. Upon these. women will not be
allowed to vote But there have been
great number of offices created by
the statute. Among these are the
electors Of President and Eice-Presi-
dent, county officers, and all other
elective officers in the State, aside from
the Offices provided for in the constitu-
ton,
Women, then, will be allowed to vote
for Presidential electors in Illinois, but
not for the Governor of the State, They
will be allowed under the new laws,
to vote for United States Senators, but
not for members Of the State Lcgisla.
ture. They will be allowed to vote for
80 oil 1,t
and town officers, for members Of the
State Board Of Equalization, and for
clerk Of the appellate court. They will
be allowed to vote upon all questions
submitted to the people of a munici-
pality, Of county, or of the State,
provided such questions are proposed
by legislative enactment, aside from
constitutional restrictions. Full NUM-
cipal suffrage women will have, and
they may control in the city elections Of
Chicago. All this is contingent upon
the signing Of this bill by Governor
Dunno, which is promised.
1t is not to be supposed that partial
extension of suffrage like this will be
the final settlement of the matter in
Illinois; for upon the women voting for
President, for some State officers, for all
city officials, and for most Of the
county officials, the demand will become
too importunate to be denied, that com.
plete suffrage must be extended to
them, and it may be fairly expected
that within very few years woman
suffrage will be complete in Illinois;

River to confer this privilege upon the

KA1sER's QUARTER CENTURY.

The ceremonies throughout the Ger
man Empire on Monday in commemo-
ration of the twenty-fifth anniversary
of the reign of Kaiser Wilhelm, were
all Of the most enthusiastic, impressive
character Everywhere there appeared
an outburst Of loyal acclaim, and
throughout the Empire the displays
were gorgeous, the military leading
in it all. And yet, the sentiment in
reversal of that military leadership was
welcome to the Kaiser, and he took the
occasion of the presentation and ad-
dress of Mr.. Carnegie and other dele
gates from the American Peace So
ciety TO congratulate him upon the ter
mination Of the twenty-five years of
his reign in peace, to emphasize the
sentiment that he hoped that another
twenty-five years of peace would fol-
low.
Among the other noteworthy EXPIRES
sions of tho Emperor during the day
was when he assured delegation of
Englishmen that he would continue to
do his best to Fpreserve and promote
the friendly relationship existing be-
tween the two Countries To those
who know the sword 's-point antagon-
isms between these two nations, it
might be supposed that the Emperor
was indulging in bit Of sarcasm when
he put forth this expression, However,
there is no doubt Of the genuineness OF
e lo hor -, ~
relations with Great Britain. His fam
lily ties are close with the British
throne, the commercial and industrial
relations between Germany and Great
Britain are so numerous and so firmly
knit that, in spite of all the occasional
outbursts Of i'll humor between the two
countries, war between the two would
be such a calamity to the world that
its outbreak is almost inconceivable.
The Kaiser has fully earned the great
pletion of the twenty-five years of
peaceful reign. There is no reason to
doubt the statement made that, In spite
of his sensational outbreaks from time
to time, he has at all times been firmly
devoted to the cause of peace, and his
voice has been at times the decisive one
for peace as against war; and as he Is,
by all odds, the most powerful military
chief in the world, his disposition to
preserve the peace instead of to pro-
mote war must be confessed by all
sound-thinking men as immensely to
his credit and to the benefit of his peo.
pie, as we'll as to the content and ad.
vantage Of the world, His is emphati-
cally case where superior fighting
power is able to command peace among
the nations.

JAPANESE INCOMPATIBILITY

One of the turns that the Japanese
discomfort with the United States has
taken is on the matter Of incompati-
bility. The japanese complain that we
consider them incompatible, when the
reverse is their opinion, and it appears
that some of the hotheads in Japan
are willing to go to war to vindicate
their compatibility with Americans. 1t
is rather a fantastic notion, but when
people lose their heads thew take no
account OF sense or reason. The propo-
sition is stated in an extract in The
Independent in the form of letter
from DR.. D. C. Greene, who is a long.
resident American missionary in Japan.
Speaking of this idea Of japanese in
compatibility, DR.. Greene says:

his books. Supported by his statements,

After more than forty-three years
the whole much more intimate than
Hearn's, as well as fncomparably wider,
I am prepared to say that given rea-
sonably kind treatment, they will as
simulate quickly and prove as patriotic
Americans Is they have been Japanese.
And DIR, Greene gives his conclusions
as follows:

We Americans have been doing our best
to allay the excitement and think we
have done good; but it has been discour-
aging business because OF the appeal to
race feeling.
1t is comprehensive to the Japa-
nese, he says, why we should object
to the admission Of aliens who under
sell labor, and he says they would
acqulesce in any reasonable arrange
ment which does not imply racial in
feriority and incompatibility
But there need no question arise as
to racial inferiority. The white race,
or especially our branch Of the white
race, does not assimilate with the
darker races, and it iuvoluntarily and
at sight considers all the dark races
as inferior. But this need not enter
into any international intercourse,
The matter Of incompatibility, how.
ever, is something that must depend
upon the relations Of the two races,
1t will be difficult indeed to convince
| the American people that the japanese
would assimilate with us and become
patriotic Americans. First of all, we
| do not want to assimilate with them,
and second, the feeling Of race CO.
hesion among the japanese and Of
loyalty to the Emperor Of Japan are so
ipgrained in the japanese character,
that we should consider change in
that feeling to patriotic feeling for
America altogether impossible.
AS to the matter Of war to de-
termine the question Of incompati-
bility, the notion is absurd, If we
should whip the Japanese we certainly
| should consider that our compatibility
| with them was not to be thought
of; while if the Japanese should whip
