Senate Votes st.5oo,ooo Bonds.

After a long discussion, the senate
passed a bill to authorize issuance OF
$500. 600 in 2O-year 5 per cent bonds.
for the purpose of lifting the accumu
lated floating debt, which approx.
mates around that mount Efforts
were made to amend the bill so that
the interest should be 4 IL per cent,
but were defeated. The bill specifies
that as much as $500. 900 Of the issue
may be had for sale entirely within
the state, but if the condition OF the
bond market is such that this is i'm
practicable, then the reserve amount
shall be placed on the open market.
During the discussion of this bill 1t
was shown that this is the largest
bond issue proposed by a Mississippi
legislature for seventy-five years. This
is the second bond issue bill intro
duced during the session, the first be-
ing by Mr.. Burkitt, for 81, 900 900, to
be placed entirely within the state,
which was defeated on the floor. If
passed, and the bonds provided for
find a market. it will obviate the ne
cessity of borrowing money at 6 per
cent in order to pay back debts of the
state.

A Craft OF Mystery

The auxiliary schooner l.. N. Dant-
zler is still a craft of mysteryy. Last
January she sailed from Gulfport with
lumber for Cuba, under the surveil.
lance of the revenue cutter Winona-
She went aground of Cuba and It was
necessary to throw off part OF her
deckload before she could continue on
her voyage. March S she sailed from
Cuba for Trinidad, and has not been
heard from since, despite the fact that
winds We're favorable and she was
equipped with a ninety horsepower en-
CINE. Coincident with the disappear
ance of the little green craft,
the story OF the landing of asrevolu-
tionary party on the shores OF Vene-
zuela. Whether the schooner has
~foundered. or has one flibustering,
as she has been suspected of doing
for several years, is a question. There
is a suspicion that she has been &C
quired by persons connected with the
proposed revolt against President Vi
cente Gomez of Venezuela. The L. n.
Dantzler has been a craft of mystery
ever since she was sold by the Dant-
zler lumber interests, by which she
a built.

No Money for Vicksburs Jubilee.

Amid much waving of the bloody
shirt, and with speechmaking galore,
the lower house voted down the bill
carrying an appropriation of $4,000
for Mississippi's participation in the
national peace jubilee at Vicksburg ma
tional military park in 1915. The vote
was so to SO. and the result one of the
surprises of the session, especially the
bitterness shown by several Confed-
crate veterans during the debate on
the bill. In substance, they declared
that they did not want to participate
in an event thai would be nothing
more or less than a celebration of the
downfall of Vicksburg.

Tax Levy Stands.

After a stiff fight over the question
what shall be the state ad valorem tax
levy for the ensuing biennial period.
the house of representatives left it at
exactly what il was-siX mills or the
dollar. Efforts were made to put
through a seven-mill levy for 1915.
as the revenue bill came from the
ways and NEAR committee, but it was
evident that the majority rather feared
the effect Of such a curse IN the peo-
pie back home"
Ii was contended by Mr.. S%tennis,
chairman of the ways and mean com
mittee, and the recognized statistician
of the house, that the appropriations
will show an aggregate of upwards OF
$500, 900. He could not figure out
just how a six-mill ad yalorem tax
would meet this outlay,
A proposition to make the levy of
1914 nine or nine and a fraction mills
was made by Mr.. Morrison, though
It was thought highly probable tina;
the distinguished G%renadian never ex-
pected the amendment TO be accepted
seriously.

No Word From Roosevelt.
Inquiries made showed that the
Roosevelt family had heard nothing
yet from the colonel concerning the
mshap of the expedition or his own
situation. 1t need not be inferred
from this fact, however, that the
colonel sustained any personal injury.
On the contrary, Mr.. Fiala's silence
on the subject indicates that the col
