cording TO an announcement by the
company. The vessel has been held in
New York since late in October, await
ing the result of the seizures by the
British war vessels of the steamers
Hooking and Genessee also belonging

pany. Both these vessels were requi-
sitionea by the British government for
one trip across the Atlantic which
brought forth protest from the Unit
ed States government. AS result the
company received from Secretary OF

that the British government is willing
to refrain from capturing the remain
ing ships of the company, unless they
are found TO be carrying contraband,

Dunno wrote to H. Fl. Hagler, county
clerk Of Jackson county today, deny
ing that his repeated reprieving of
Elston Scott, the negro under sentence
Of death for the murder of his sister
in-law, was due to a personal differ
ence with Sheriff James White, as was
recited in resolutions adopted by the
Jackson county board of supervisors.
These differences arose from the
fact that recently Sheriff White super
intended the execution Of a criminal in
your county under circumstances of
publicity which l believe were dis
graceful to the state of Illinois," the
governor stated in his letter, "and that
/ fear the next execution to be con-
Quoted by him officially. will be con-
Quoted in the same unsatisfactory
manner"
The governor asked that his letter
be spread upon the records OF the
board as answer to the resolutions.

the basis of durable peace are still

this account IT was made necessary
Ito postpone the meeting of the execu-

was postponed Thus far only one
member of the committee has arrived
from another country He is Don We
