Jackson, June 12.—Col..Power, the secretary of the recent convention which assembled in this city, has received from Chairman Miller a courteous acknowledgement of the receipt of the list of names of the j new executive committeemen pro- i posed bv the convention to be voted on in the primary June 31. Chair man Miller in his letter does not in dicate what course he will pursue in regard to the names furnished. Tbe resolution calling for the creation of a new committee provided that those nominated should be voted for in tbe primary in the event tbe pres ent committee should be reconvened and authorize their names printed upon the ticket. As the model bal lots do not contain these names and as they have been completed and J are being sent out by Secretary Cou nor, it is an assured fact that the committee intends to ignore the ac tion of the convention. The mem bers of the convention will thus find themselves committed to another conventiou in September for the pur j pose of creating a new state execu tive committee. Belle Boyd Dead.

London, June 12.—the news that j the sh - utHn « ° ff of Lord Roberts' i ««pmunication with the outer world was accompanied by such a serious loss came like a bolt from a eompar atlvely clear sky. lr. London, until the Be * s came - il was tbou K ht * bat the destruction of the railroad was J accomplished by Free Staters who were avoiding rather than annihi lating the British detachments sta tioned at the poiuts attacked. Nor are Gen. Forestier-Walker s vague statements regarding Methuen and the situation at Heilbron looked upon as reassuring. The Boers ap pear to be in sufficient strength to completely separate all the British forces north and south of a line stretching some fifty miles between Roodeval and Heilbron. Methuen's march upon the latter place seems somewhat in tbe nature of amove j ment for the relief of Colville. The |oniy British officer left at Roodeval appears to be the doctor in charge of the hospital, which is full of wounded What has happened to the troops immediately north of RoodeYal is still a matter for conjecture. All in all, to-day's dispatches re veal that the situation is far more serious than anyoae imagined. BUY THE BEST. * The Cash Shoe Man's Store News.
