The Man a Prince Again.

Inc Wan a Prince AGAIN.
NEIL had the faculty Of Sleep
ing we'll in spite of the most
W tormenting Worries. He arose
on the morning after his inter-
view with Mr.. Heidlemann ready to
begin the struggle with all his normal
energy and confidence. But the day
brought him only discouragement. He
had a large acquaintance. The men,
ton Of his name in quarters where he
was not personally known gained him
respectful attention, but he found him
self working in the shadow of the cop
per trust, and it's silent influence over
came his strongest arguments.
No one, it seemed, cared to risk even
a semblance Of rivalry with that mon
strous aggregation of capital, for the
interlacing of financial interests was
amazingly intricate, and fnanciers
were fearful Of the least misstep.
Everywhere O'Neil encountered the
same disheartening timidity. His bat
tie, 1t seemed. had been lost before it
was begun.
Days passed in fruitless endeavors.
Evenings found O'Neil in his corner of
the hotel cafe racking his brain for
some way out Of his perplexities. Usu-
ally he was surrounded by friends, for
he continued to entertain in the lavish
fashion for which he had gained q rep
utation, but sometimes he was alone,
and then his solitude became more
oppressive than 1t had ever been even
in the farthest wastes of the north
land. He was made to feel his re-
s%ponsibility with dreadful keenness,
for his associates were in a panic
and bombarded him with daily in
quiries, vexatious and hard to answer.
One evening as he ran through his
mail he found a letter in a woman's
handwriting and, glancing at the sig
nature, started. It was signed "Gloria
Gordon" Briefly it appraised him Of
her marriage and of her and Natalie's
return to Hope. Gloria thanked him
perfunctorily for his many kindnesses,
but she neither expressed nor implied
an invitation for him to visit them.
He smiled a little grimly. Already her
loyalty had Veered to side,
and Natalie no doubt shared her feel
ing. Well. it was but natural per-
haps.
He was aroused from his train Of
thought by a stranger whom he found
standing beside his table and looking
down at him with wavering eye.
"Misser O'Neil, amt it," the fellow
inquired. Sure! Thought l knew
you. I'm Bulker of the old North pass.
Remember meY'
Mr.. Bulker had been imbibing freely.
He showed evidences Of a protracted
spree not only in his. speech, but in the
trembling hand which, he extended.
His eyes were bloodshot, and his good
natured face was nurple,

FILE PETITION
 FUR REPEAL Of
 STATEWIDE LAW
Prohibitionists Prepare to Attack Move on Ground
 of Irregularity.

Little Rock, July 6.-Ben l.. Grif- fin, president of the Local Self Gov elnment league, Thursday afternoon filed with the secretary of state the petition for the repeal of the state wide prohibition law. It contains the names of 15,713 qualified electors, ac- eording to the affidavit of Mr. Griffin
 George Thornburgh, president of the Arkansas Anti-Saloon league, has notified Secretary of State Hodges that he will immediately begin an in- vestigation of the petition to purge it of irregular signatures. The pro- hibition people believe that enough illegal names will be found to reduce the number below the requisite 1O,S41, but the local optionists are as con- fident that the petition is unassail- able.
 The proposed act provides not only for the repeal of the statewide pro- hibition act, but for the enactment of a law requiring the county judge to call an election to determine whether or not liquor shall be sold upon the petition of 10 per cent of the voters of the county, and fixes the amounts to be paid state, county and school dis trict as license fees by retailers and wholesalers.

TROPICAL SJ'ORM CAUSES HEAVY
 PROPERTY LOSS Practically Every Town on East Gulf Coast Suffers
 Damage. ALABAMA TORNADO
 KILLS Y NEGROES Only Life Loss Reported Occurs at Beloit, Ala., Where Tornado Caused Death of l7 and the Injury
 of Fight.

New Orleans, July 6.-The loss of at least 17 lives and property dam age which will total several millions in the tropical storm which swept the Gulf coast Wednesday and moved inland Thursday, have been reported in practically every town in the de- vastated district heard from. All the deaths thus far reported occurred Thursday near Beloit, Ala. All were negroes. Resorts along the coast in the vicinity of Mobile have not been heard from, and it is feared there may have been fatalities at those places.
 There was no loss of life in either Mobile or Pensacola, the largest cities in the storms path, according to mes sages from those places.
 Property loss in Mobile was re- ported as not very great. The dam age in Pensacola was said to have been confined largely to the water front and shipping, but only the most meagre reports were obtainable from that place.
 The maximum wind velocity was re- ported at 104 miles an hour Wednes- day afternoon.
 Laurel, Miss, reported that the property loss there will aggregate S200,0O0. There was no loss of life. Jackson and Meridian reported dam age to crops and farm buildings. Reports from Gulfport, Biloxi, Pass Christian and Bay St. Louis show little damage and no loss of life.
 Buildings and crops in and around Beloit and Tallahassee, Ala, were re- ported and crops suffered through out the storm area.
 Traffic between New Orleans and Mobile and Pensacola over the Louis vile & Nashville had been suspended, but Thursday night trains were sent out from New Orleans to Mobile. Railroad officials were not optimistic that they would get through, because of washouts and debris reported on the tracks.
 One L. & N. passenger train was reported marooned between New Or leans and Mobile. The wires are prostrated throughout southwest Alabama and Mississippi, as well as in parts of Florida.

GERMANS LOST q SHIPS IN FIGHT
 WITH BRITISH Admiral Sir John Jellicoe Makes Official Report
 of Battle. GERMAN FLEET
 QUIT THE FIELD Report States That kaiser'S High Seas Fleet Was Entirely Out of Action at O'clOck-Britlsh
 Losses Put at If Ships.

London, July (Friday).-Vice Ad- miral Sir John Jellicoe in his official report of the Jutland battle on May 31 places the probable loss of the German fleet at 21 vessels and gives that of the British fleet at IA. He expresses the opinion that the Ger man losses probably were greater.
 The report says the battle was op- ened at 3:4S, Vice Admiral Beatty's cruiser squadron engaging the Ger man high seas fleet until 6:15 when the British grand fleet came up. The main fleet of the British and the Germans were then engaged until S:20 at ranges between 5000 and 12.OO0 yards.
 "The Germans constantly tu:ned away and opened the range under cover of destroyer attacks says the report.
 During this period, Sir John de- clares, the enemy vessels were seen to be constantly hit, and some were sunk, while the return fire was not effective, and the damage wrought was insignificant. The German ves- sells, according to the report, were en- tirely out of the fight at o'clock.
 Vice Admiral Beatty reported that he did not consider it advisable to engage the German fleet during the dark hours, as the strategical posi- ton made it appear certain that he could locate it at daylight under more favorable circumstances.
 Vice Admiral Jellicoe then man. euvered the fleet so as to remain be- tween the Germans and their bases, placing destroyers where they could protect the fleet and attack.
 Germ8ns Disappear in Darkness.
 The destroyers made attacks during the night, inflcting heavy losses. At daylight. however. the German fleet was nowhere in sight, but the British fleet remained in the vicinity of the battlefield until II, when Sir John .Jellicoe was forced to the conclusion that the high seas fleet had returned to it's bases. At 1:15 the British fleet set sail for it's base, which it reached the following day.
 In support of the contention that the Germans were not seeking further fight. he states that at 4 p. m. the fleet engaged Zeppelins for five min utes, during which they had ample opportunity to observe the position and course of the British fleet.
 Although the report is filled with words of praise for the officers and enlisted men of the British fleet, it does not neglect to give due credit to the Germans.
 "The enemy fought with the gal lantry that was expected of him." Sir John states in the report

French and British Consolidating PO- sitions and Preparing for ReDeti. tiOn of BOmbardmfnt That
 Preceded First Rush.

London, July 6-Violent counter attacks by the Germans on almost the entire line of the French advance in the Somme regiCn show a change in tEe situation from the earler gain CT the Anglo-French offensive. In the beginning, the Germans concen- lrated their forces asainst the Brit- ish apparently considering the operation of the French to th2 south as or small significance, but the rapid movement of the French. to- eether with the importance of the object for which they are aiming. has lad the effect of charging the Gsr- man view and causing the Germans 70 strengthen their defenses and forces along the line guarding Peronne and other important strate- sic points.
 Bot.l ends o' the French line have been under heavy attack, but the French, according to the official ac- count, have been abln to put them down without the Germans mak:n, any gains whatever. Neanwhile. both French and British are consolidating tn ir positions and are undoubtedly making proportions for a repetition of the great bombardment which preceded the first rush
 The results of the staff conference of the entente allies in London in May and Juns are becoming constantly more apparent. in the coordination of the allied attack on the Teutonic fCrces, and increasing evidence Of the passing ron thl Germans to the allies at almost all points.
 As the French ana British armies now are engaged in re-organizing and preparing for the second phase Of the battle of the Somme. there is a comparative lull cn the wes err, front and Russia again takes the center of the st3ge
 The British official statement gives few details, merely remarking tha, "as a result of violent bomb fighting. we made furth'r proeress at some points in the main battle area"
 Russians Centnre 250.000.
 The intensity of the Russian drive against the Austrians and Germans is indicated by unofficial reports from 'oetrograd. which say that the Aus trians and Germans, in the ende9vo- tc stay the advance of General Brusi- ellcffs army, totals nearly a half million men, half of whom are pris- oners. Not less than 250 guns of various sizes and more than 700 machine guns, and immense quanti- ties of other booty have been taken. The Austrians admitted a serious de- feat west of Kolomea where they were driven hack nearly five miles. The latest official statement from the Russian war office announces ths capture of approximately 10000 additional prisoners. l,000 of whom

Little Rock, July 6.-Little Rock merchants and others who have a heavy mail are greatly interested in the bill introduced by Congressman Wingo for one-cent postage for let ters for. local delivery. They heartily approve the movement as one of com mon justice, and say that it will greatly increase the amount of busi- ness transacted in every community. It is argued that there is no justice in charging two cents for letter addressed to some one in the same office building, and no more for a letter addressed to San Francisco. The proposed law will have the earn est support of Little Rock.

Washington, July 6.--Leaving the white house after a conference with the president today, Attorney General Gregory said he thought there was little likelihood for him to succeed Charles E. Hughes on the supreme court bench.
