CHINA’S TRADE
IS IMPERILED
PRES. ROOSEVELT APPEARED
TO MODIFY REGULATIONS.
THREATENING TO BOYCOTT
—' •
Oommercial Organizations of China
Decide to Boycott Goods Produced
By America, Especially Cotton and
Steel Products.
—■ • m
Washington—President Roosevelt
held a conference with about 30 mem
bers of the Aemerican Asiatic Asso
ciation, representing the cotton textile
industry and the iron and steel trade
of the United States. The delegation
entered a formal protest against such
an enforcement of the Chinese ex
clusion laws as might imperil the ex
port trade of this country with China.
It was pointed out that the commer
cial organizations of China were
threatening to boycott American
made goods, especially cotton and
Eteel products, unless arrangements
were made whereby Chinese mer
chants, students, literary men and
traveler* could enter the United
States are often subjected to incon
venience and humiliation bv the immi
*
gration officers and they insist upon
a more liberal treatment of the ex
empt classes of their countrymen.
The delegation was headed by J.
Ford of New York, secretary of the
American Asiatic Association, who
said in part:
“Mr. President—The American
Asiatic Association is an organization
formed to co-operate with the govern
ment in maintaining and defending
the trade and treaty rights of the
U nited States in the countries of
eastern Asia. Individually rhe mem
bers of this delegation speak for the
cotton textile industry of the United
States, representing $500,000,000 of
invested capital and 350,000 wage
earners, whose prosperity and welfare
are today absolutely dependent on the
retention of the markets for the pro
ducts of that industry which has been
opened in China.
The occasion of this visit is to in
vite your attention to the present un
satisfactory character of our relations
with tlie Chinese empire and the con
ditions growing out of those which di
rectly threaten the continuance of a
profitable and highly essential part of
our commerce.
lae inendiy character of those
relations have been of late adversely
- ■ affected by the absence of a satisfac
tory immigration treaty between the
T nited States and China and by the
dissatisfaction of the mercantile class
in China with what they conceive to
be the rules adopted and enforced by
the immigration officers of the United
States in dealing with those of their
countrymen whom our laws declare
entitled to visit this country.
■“It must be held to be unfortunate
that these laws are at variance with
, the treaty stipulations, which since
-the expiration of the treaty of 1894
are in force between the two coun
tries.
*‘We urge upon you the extreme
danger to the industrial and commer
- cial interests of the United States of
allowing the aversion growing in Chi
na to become a fixture and to discour
age the coming here of merchants, stu
tdeafe? jjtfui literary men of that coun
try.
The members of this delegation feel
confident that they will not appeal to
you in vain, asking that a remedy
should be sought for the unsatisfac
tory condition of the existing rela
tions between this country and the
Chinese empire.”
President Roosevelt responded cor
dially. He agreed with the delegation
that it would be proper for this gov
ernment to encourage friendly rela
tions with China. He proposed to do
all in his power to promote the trade
•with China and to promote generally
the export trade of American produc
ers, farmers as well as manufacturers.
He promised to take up the subject*
with Secretary Metcalf of the depart
ment of commerce and labor and oth
er officials and do all in his power to
remedy the difficulty.
For Norway Recognition.
Chicago—Chicago Norwegians will
unite in a petition to President Roose
yelt asking him to recognize the inde
pendence of Norway, as declared by
the storthing. The petition move
ment has already been started in
Boston, and is well under way in Min
neapolis and St. Paul.
Get Rid of Chinese.
The Vera Cruz and Pacific Railroad
has decided to get rid of all Chinese
employes, as they are not capable of
doing the work.
Must Pay Tribal Tax.
E —
Washington.—Secretary Hitchcock
presented the Muskogee anti-tribal
tax delegation to the president, but
before they r/uld present 'their cases
to the president, he informed them
that he had gone over the matter writh
the secretary; that he had agreed en
tirely with him and that he consid
ered the matter closed. The delega
tion then withdrew.

No More Buffaloes.
Washington.—Sec. Hitchcock has
'eceived the following dispatch from
Superintendent Noble, in charge of
lie Ponka Indian Agency, Okla. T
‘White Eagle, Okla. T.—Replying to
four telegram respectfully advise that
10 buffalo of any description will be
slaughtered at the celebration to
morrow in honor of the National Ed
itorial Association on Ponca tribal
or leased lands by Miller Bros., nor
will anything inhuman or objectiona
ble be permitted. Prior to the re
ceipt of your message this evening
Joe Miller had killed one old male
buffalo on land owned by himself, the
meat of which he proposes to serve
to the editors. God pity the editors.
No more buffalo will be killed what
ever, as the Milers propose to raise
lar|fe herds on their ranch.’
Section of Subway Flooded.
New York.—It is admitted by the
subway officials that under the most
favorable officials that under the most
favorable conditions the road^ which
is blocked by the bursting of a water
main at 42nd street, could hardly be
opened for another. During the day
underground travel was practically
suspended, although some trains were
run below 14th street and above the
point of a blockade, leaving a gap of
over a mile in which the tracks were
under water and the tunnel filled with
the fumes of charred insulation and
ties. Powerful steam pumps mate
rially reduced the depth of the water,
but not sufficiently to determined the
full extent of the damage to the road
way.
To Raise the Standard.
New York—Officers of the Litho
graphic Artists, Engravers and De
signers’ League of America, which
closed its annual convention in this
city, have made an agreement with
the employing lithographers to raise
tue standard of the trade in this coun
try by forming an apprenticeship
board. The highest class of litho
graphic. work is now done in Europe
but it is hoped that under the new
scheme this country can produce men
capable of doing any grade of work.
The board will be composed of em
ployers and employes.
Short of Shells.
St. Petersburg.—The St. Peters
burg Telegraph Agency has received
a dispatch from its Shanghai corres
pondent, who asserts tha*t only wrere
the Russian ships so short of shell
tnat they could indulge in but three
Target practices after leaving Libau.
but that during the battle of the Sea
of Japan many projectiles either fell
shoi i or failed to inflict damage on
the Japanese vessels. A number of
mutinies occurred during the voyage
of the Russian squadrons, especially
on the battleship Order and the con
verted cruiser Ural, owing to the
quality of food served to the crews.
Dead Man Identified.
^an I rancisco.—A two years’
search for D. W. Ross, a prominent
contractor of this city, who vanished
in August, 1903, has ended at the cor
oner’s office. George P. Harris iden
tified the photograph and description
of an “ unidentified man ’1 killed by a
street car in September, 1903, as that
of the father of Dr.-Frank C. Ross
the astronomer now assistant director
at Carnegie Institute, Washington, D.
C., and Walter Ross, in the govern
ment service. The body, which has
lain all the time in the potter’s field,
will be exhumed and given fittting
burial by the sons.
Not Poisonous.
Washington. —The “cabbage hair
worm,” which has been the subject
of a great scare among cabbage eaters
and which has caused much damage
to the cabbage crop in the Mississip
pi \ alley States, was the subject of
a report issued by the Department of
Agriculture. The department ex
perts find that this slender worm is
perfectly harmless to man, but they
admit the' extent of its ravages. It
is stated that fully three-fourth of
the cabbage crop of Tennessee was
lost in 1904 because of the ravages
of the worm.
Announces Candidacy.
Little Rock, Ark.—Governor Jeff
Davis has given notice that he will
formally open the campaign for the
United States senatorship at Conway,
on July 4, and has asked Senator J.
H. Berry to meet him in joint session
and discussion there and at other
points throughout the state.

ple were entertained by Miller Bros.,
at the 101 ranch; the visit of the Na
tional Editorial Association to the
ranch being made the Occasion for a
buffalo hunt, a buffalo dinner and an
Indian celebration.
No Change in the Post.
Washington. — The Washington
Post editorially announces that the
recent death of Beriah Wilkins will
involve no change whatever in the pa
per. Its control passed to the two
sons, John J. and Robert C. Wilkins,
for some years associated with their
father on the Post, and its manage
ment and policies will continue as
heretofore.
PAUL MORTON
THE CHAIRMAN
EQUITABLE DIRECTORS FIND
MAN FOR SOCIETY HEAD.
FREE HANDJA8JEEN GIYEN
Former Officers all Resign Subject to
The Pleasure of Chairman Morton.
Cleveland Accepts Place on Board.
Hyde is Divested.
New York.—Paul Morton, who re
tires as secretary of the jiavy on July
1, was elected chairman of the board
of directors of the Equitable Life As
surance Society. His election marks
the first and most important step in
the reorganization of the society and
will be followed by the tender of the
resignations of President Alexander,
Vice-President Hyde, Second Vice
President Tarbell, Third Vice Presi
dent, Wilson and Fourth Vice Presi
dent, McIntyre. The new chairman,
to quote Senator Depew, did not con
sent to take office until he had re
ceived positive assurances that he
would have a free hand as to meas
ures and men.
Mr. Hyde “divested” himself of
the majority control, but, as made
clear in his letter to the board, re
tains a substantial interest in the so
ciety.
All the resignations submitted to
the meeting are subject to the pleas
ure of Chairman Morton and none
has been accepted.
Just what action Mr. Morton will
take as to the resignations was not
disclosed but it was strongly intimat
ed that President Alexander and Vice
Presidents Tarbell, Wilson and Mc
Intyre retired with the belief that
their executive relations with the
Equitable had ended.
The interests to which Mr. Hyde
disposed of his stock number some
two score individuals led by Thomas
F. Ryan, vice president of the Morton
Trust Company, which has close re
lations with the Mutual Life Insur
ance Company, one of the Equitable’s
principal rivals. |
Mr. Kyan is said to be heavily in
sured in the Equitable, as are, ac
cording to report, many of the oth
ers who voted with him in the pur
chase of the Hyde holdings.
The price paid for the Hyde estate
stock, which is to be trusteed prac
tically in perpetuity, was not diclos
ed, but estimates vary from $3,500,
000 to $5,000,000. j
In addition to this 502 shares held
by the H3rde estate which includes
the widow of H. B. Hyde, founder of
the society, and his daugther, Vice-1
President Hyde is said by Mr. Unter-j
meyer to hold between 160 and 170'
shares and it is these holdings which!
Mr. Untermeyer refers to as the
“substantial interests” which his
client retains.
Mr. Untermeyer makes this state
ment relative to the Hyde interests
in a statment quoted below. He has
since the beginning of the contro
versy acted as Mr. Hyde’s counsel.
The men requested to hold the ma
jority stock by Mr. Ryan are former
President Cleveland, George Westing-'
house, of Pittsburg, and Morgan J.
0 ’Brien, recently elevated to the chief
justiceship of the appellate division
of the supreme court of this district.
Mr. Ryan is the acknowledged head
of the Metropolitan Traction Compa
ny and only a week: ago induced Mr.
Mprgan to ally himself with this; in
terest as the operating chief of the
New York Ciity Railway Company,
by which title the Metropolitan sur
face lines and their affiliated eonr
panies in Manhattan and the Bronx:
are known.
Concerning' the purchase of theel
Equitable s^oek and the disposition]
of it, Thomas F. Ryan said:
“In connection with some other
policy holders, who like- myself have
never had any relations with the
Equitable exeept as policyholders, II
have purchased from Mr, Hyde a ma
jority of the stock of that society,.
“We have made this purchase for;
the sake of putting anr end to the)
present unfortunate condition of the
company Ts affairs, not only in the in
terest of the policyholders, but for
the general business interests of the
entire country. We propose upomi
receiving the stock, to immediately,
divest ourselves of all voting powerj
and accomplish in substance and in
effect the plan of mutualization al-i
ready approved by the superintendent;
of insurance. We propose to do this
by conveying the stock to a board
of trustees composed of men of such
character as to commend universal
confidence and having no connection
with'Wall street with power to vote
the stock for the election of direc
tors—as to twenty-eight directors in
accordance with the instructions of
the policyholders of the society and
as to the remaining twenty-four di
rectors in accordance with the un
controlled judgment of the trustees.
The new board of trustees of the
Hyde estate are former President
Grover Cleveland, George Westing
house and Justice J. Morgan O’
Brien.

> TO REGULATE RATES.
Railroad and Financial Men Look for
Legislation at Next Session.
New York—Railrorad and financial
men in New York have settled down
to the expectation that there will be
some sort of legislation regulating
rates and prohibiting rebates at the
next session of congress; but they
do not think it will be so severe or
radical as the Esch-Townsend bill.
They do not believe congress will go
so far as the president demands, but
are convinced that the principle will
be recognized and the authority of
the government to control transporta
1 tion rates established, which is the
next step to government ownership.
The recent election in Chicago seems
to be interpreted as an expression of
public sentiment, which will encour
I age all grades of Socialism, although
it will not accomplish anything more
than making government ownership
and control a political issue for the
next congressional and presidential
i campaigns.
i Peace is Assured.
Tokio, Japan.—Peace is now an
almost assured certainty. Both Rus
sia and Japan have accepted the ten
der of good offices on the part of Pres
ident Roosevelt and the time for a
meeting of peace plenipotentiaries is
not far distant. Th cablegram from
Ambassador Meyer expressing Roose
velt’s offer has been translated and
is cordial in character. At Tokio
there is general thanksgiving at the
thought that the carnage of war has
passed. The news of prospective
peace with an indemnity attached is
no£ relished in all Russian quarters.
By some it is feared that the payment
of any heavy sum by Russia will oc
casion an outburst on the part of the
Revolutionists.
Japan’s Peace Terms.
St. Petersburg—It is understood
that Japan’s peaee terms will include
a Japanese protectorate over Korea
and the total evacuation of Manchuria
I by the Russians. Port Arthur and
i the Liaotung peninsula are to re
j main in possession of the Japanese.
[ The railway to Harbin is to be ceded
to Japan, which will probably reim
burse Japan for the capital she has
expended thereon. The question as
to the cessation of the island of Sak
halin to Japan would not have been
raised before the defeat of Admiral
Rojestvensky's Baltic fleet, but will
now be included in the negotiations.
The question of an indemnity will
probably be the last to be considered.
Floods the Country.
Keokuk, la.—A sudden and unpre
cedented rise of eight feet in the Mis
sissippi in less than twelve hours
flooded 100 square miles of farming
country back of Alexandria, Mo., in
the darkest hours of the early morn
ing, without any warning to the hun<
dreds of families who were prosper
ous but are isqw mi mis crops, horses,
cattle and everything else which the
flood eould sweep away. The Egyp*
fcian levee broke from the force of
the impact of the water, and so sud
den was the rise that it was not pos
sible to save a thing. Many of the
terrified farmers and their families
barely got out of their homes alivei.
Costs Life of Child.
*
Fort Smith, Art—Lana Miller, the
7-year-old son of a farmer residing
near Panama, I. Tl, was sent to carry
a jug of water to his father, who was
working in a nearby field. The' boy
laid down on the tracks of the Mid
land Valley railroad, which run's
through this field to rest. A passing
freight train ran over him cutting
off his left leg, breaking his right and
injuring his head. The' father placed
the wounded child on a freight train
whieh was coming to Fort Smith,
but which took four hours to reach
the city. The child died just as the
oity was reached for the want of med
ical attention.
Heavy Loss in Short Time.
Livington, Mon—In ten minutes
water destroyed $50,000 worth of pro
perty here. For three hours all of
the business district was flooded. Rain
fell like water poured from a bucket.
A wall of water, four feet high, came
down the narrow valley, tore up the
track, and when it reached the sta
tion, the stream was 1,000 feet wide
and two feet deep.
Decorated With Cross.
Paris—Capt. T. Bentley Mott, the]
retiring American military attache
here, has received the Cross of the
Legion of Honor, with a letter from
former Minister Deleasse, who ftestow
ed it. Capt. Mott’s successor, Capt.
William $. Guignard, has arrived and
has taken up his duties) but Capt.
Mott will remain in Paris until Sep
tember, when he will serve on the
staff of Gen. Adna R. Chaffee, V
Gets $10,000 Damages.
Oxford, Miss.—In the Federal
Court James Warren, a white man of
Pontotoc county, was awared $10,000
damages against the Illinois Central
Railroad for personal damages. War
ren fell from a passenger train near
the depot here in February, 1904, and
as- a result his lower limbs were par
alyzed. He was carried into court
! on a cot.
LATE MISSISSIPPI NEWS.
mmU
Strong Organization.
A summary of reports from county
associations made by Secretary Fish
er shows that the Mississippi Cotton
Association now has 23,745 members
and new lists are being sent in daily
by county organizers. This is a very
formidable organization, showing that
the men who raise Mississippi’s prin
cipal crop are strongly united in the
objects and purposes for which the
association was formed. Also that
they are making a strong effort to
more fully develop the resources of
the state; to maintain the price of
cotton at a fair standard of value; to
develop the Southern ports; to bring
about closer trade relations between
this country and foreign nations; to
encourage diversification of crops,
and work for the accomplishment of
those other objects set forth in the
constitution of the organization. The
counties carrying the largest member
ship rolls are as follows. Amite, 1,
,543; Leake, 1,256; Winston, 1,185;
Lincoln, 1,046; Lauderdale, 978; Wil
kinson, 953; Copiah, 896.
Trade With Canada.
Washington. — Canada’s increasing
consumption of products of the Unit
ed States continues to be a notable
feature of American commerce. Fi<r
ures just complied by the Department
of Commerce and Labor, through its
Bureau of Statistics, show that ex
ports from the United States to the
Dominion of Canada grew from $51,
903,579 in the ten months ending with
April, 1897, to $104,155,893 in the ten
months ending with April, 1904, and
$114,943,079 in the corresponding pe
riod of 1905. The increase here not
ed is but a continuation of the growth
which with trifling exceptions, has
characterized our trade with Canada
since 1870.
Salary Raised.
The Newton postoffice has gone a
step higher, Postmaster H. C. Majure
having just received notice from the
department at Washington that his
salary had been raised from $1,200 to
$1,500 per annum. This is the second
raise within the past year for the New
ton office and shows that the town is
progressing very rapidly. The sala
ries of several other postmasters in
Mississippi were raised at the same
time Newton's was, but only one oth
er plaee, New Albany, was advanced
as much as $300.

The first purchase of these gentlemen
amounted to $26,000, making a total
of $40,000 paid by them to Collier

-————
Patrick is Guilty.
' Albany, N. Y—The court of appeals
by a divided count, voting four to
three, sustained the lower courts in
adjudging Albert T. Patrick, the New
York lawyer, guilty of murder in tile
first degTee in causing the death of
William Marsh Rice, an aged million
aire, formerly a resident of Texas.
On April 7, 1902, Patrick was con
victed on an indictment charging him
with the murder of Riee by chloro
form and mercury administered to
him during his sickness en September
23, 1900.
Patrick has succeeded in postpon
ing the ultimate decision of his fate
for over three years by display of
acumen and resourcefulness that has
excited the wonder of the members
of the bar and the public at large.
The qpinion of the court, written b#
Judge Gray, is very exhaustive, re
viewing the formidable record in ev
ery detail and containing upwards of
16,000 words. Judge Gray sets forth
that the theory of the people was that
defendant had conspired with Chas.
F. Jones, the valet, or as sometimes
called the secretary, of Rice, to kill
Rice and that the defendant procured
Jones to administer chloroform to
him while he was asleep in the ac
complishment of their joint purpose.
This purpose they say was motived b^
the desire to obtain possession ol
Rice’s estate through a will in favoi
of the defendant and through various
transfers to him of properties, all pur
porting to have been executed bj
Rice, but whcih had in fact been
forged by the defendant with Jones’
aid. The defense is based on a denial
that Rice’s death was effected by vio
lent means or that it was by the pro
curement of the defendant and the
proposition is advanced that the forg
eries were not brought home to the
defendant or if the evidence war
ranted the finding that they were
that that fact did not necessarily fas
ten upon him a criminal agency in the
murder.
