Washington. BELMONT REPUBLICAN MEETING REACH-ES NO AGREEMENT. IliJ Claimed That Ha Had Been Slighted and Inelste.t on Hav ins His Itighta. Tbe Republican state executive committee met in tbe Federal Court roooa at 11 o'clock Tuesday morning for tbe purpose of holding a discussion regarding tbe ceusas appointments. Chairman ll.

B. Moseley presided and all members were present except T. V. McAllister, wbo was represented by James Hill as proxy. The meeting was quite warm from start to finish and fulfilled tbe prediction made several djs ago tbat the old factional figbt between tbe Hill and Lynch factions of the psrty would break out afresh during tbe conference.

Hon. M. A. Montgomery.of Oxford, took tbe floor at the opening of tbe session and read a vast lot of interesting correspondence tbat had passed between bimself and Director Merriam regarding the apportionment of tbe supervisorsbips and enumerators. This coirespoadeace start jd on tbe 30tb day of March last, Mr.

Montgomery writing a Uther to tbe director urging tbat no appointments be made in Mississippi until tbe party bad been consulted with. Numerous otber letters followed and it seems tbat tbe director bad selected Mr. Montgomery as an official referee to consult vitb tbe otber members of tbe Republican party in tbe State. Accordingly Mr. Montgomery stated tbat be bad gone to work to accomplish tbis task and bad succeeded in making an agreement witb Senators Sullivan and Money wbtreby tbe Deomcrats were to secure three and tbe Republicans four of the supervisorsbips, and arranging the minor details as regards tbe enumerators and tbe manner of their selection in the various cuuties.

Tbe substance of tbis agreement bas heretofore been published. Mr. Mcntgomery stated in conclusion tbas be desired tbe State organization to pass on tbe agreement and bad accordingly requested tbat tbe State executive committee of 6igbt members be called for tbat purpose as it would be too pensive to bring tbe committee composed of fifty members together und he hoped tbe protect meeting would accomplish tbe purpose. He further stated that be bad in his possession letters from tbirty-one members of tbe committee of fifty stating tbat tbey approved tbe course tbat bad been taken. James Hill then bad his inning and be delivered a very spirited speech, stating in substance tbat as a member of tbe National Republioan exeou-ive committee be bad been completely ignored throughout tbe entire proceedings and bad not received a single word from Mr.

Montgomery regarding tbe census matter. He told of tbe trip be bad made to Washington for the purpose of holding a consultation Director Merriaai regarding tbe disposal of tbe patronage and bad been assured tbat it was not tbe 'intention of tbe administration to ignore himself and Mr. A. M. Lea, chairman of tbe State committee.

He then read a letter from Mr. Merriam asking tbat a conference of Senators Sullivan and Money and Messrs. Lea, Montgomery and Hill and otber prominent Republicans be held as soon as possible for tbe purpose of reaching an amicable adjustment. "I bave been completely ignored by Mr. Monteomery in tbis affair." (continued Hill, "and intend to ixsist oa my rights.

I ask you now, Mr. Montgomery, if you will attend tbis joint conference proposed by tbe Director." Tbe remark was made witb coneil-erabls feeling and Mr. Montgomery did not answer, but made an impassioned speech in reply in wbicb be referred to an occasion when Hill bad refused to speak to bim and under such circumstances be did not see bow it was possible to bold a consultation. He bad discussed it, however, with men who stood closa to Hill, and if they did not ia form it was not bis fault. L.

K. Atwood made a "baro)Oo" epeech in wbicb be sogpeete that tbe iustruutioua in tbe letter received by Hill be carried out and as all parties were present except the two Senators it would be easy to hold tbe confer-enca at once, and tbat if tbis was not satisfactory be was willing tbat tbe committee cf fifty, more truly representing the Republican party of tbe State be called together to render a final decision. A long wraagle here ensued. Mr. Montgomery porduced a letter from Director Merriam dated June 23, one day later tban that received by Hill, stating tbat be bad received tbe signed agreement between bimself and Senators Sullivan and Money and tbat same was eminently satisfactory.

Tbis placed Director Merriam in a bad ligbt, it appearing to a disinterested observer tbat he was trying to play to both factions and bad been oaugbt in tbe attempt, or else tbat be desired tbe consultation witb Hill and Lea merely as a matter of form, and tbat it would not be binding so far as tbe original agreement was concerned. To ascertain tbe truth of tbe matter Hill offered to pay tbe expense of a telegram to Washington to ask under wbicb letter tbe committee should proceed, but bis voice was lost in tbe shuffle and no action was taken. Finally Mr. Montomery seeing tbat there was no hope of an agreement made a motion tbat tbe chairman of tbe comujittse of fifty be requested to cull a meeting to be beld within tbe next ten days to finally pass upon tbe matter. The motion was lost by a vote of 4 to 4 and Chairman Lea added tbat he would call tbe comnnt-tee upon receipt cf a request from a majority of its members.

The meeting then adjourned ty mutual consent. SOLDIERS MASSACRED. Shanghai, June 24 A Russian military party of twelve as msssaored bv brigands in Manchuria. Oonsli Stfw Good. Um I OCCURRED AT RESIDENCE SATURDAY NIGHT.

Was Sixty Four Years of Age and Has Been a Prominent Figure for Many Years. Col. D. P. Porter died at tbe family residence on West street Saturday evening at 10 :30 o'clock after an illness lasting about two weeks.

Tbe news of tbe death of this estimable gentlenrenn when made known on tbe streets Sunday morning was the cause of universal sorrow and prise. Although it was generally known tbat he ws dangerously ill tbe anxious friends who hourly awaited the news from tbe bBdside hoped, almost against hope, tbat a change for the better would occur. Col. Porter was suffering from a complication of diseases tbat rendered bis a very aggravated one. He bad been in poor health for over six months and never completely recovered from tbe attack of tbe la grippe wbicb kept bim confined to bis bed for several weeks last winter.

His system bad been greatly weakened by tre ravages of tbe disease and was in no condtion to withstand tbe complication of maladies in tbe second attack. The funeral took place frors St. Andrew's Episcopal Church Sunday afternoon and was largely atteoded by tbe numerous friends of tbe deceased. Rev. Peter G.

Sears, the reotor conducted tbe ritual, wniob was very solemn and impressive and produced a profound impression on tbe sorrowing congregation. Following were the pallbearers Honorary Messrs. R. V. Ratchford, Dr.

Plowly and sorrcwfnlly tbe long prooession wended its way to tbe city cemetery where tbe interment took place, tbe Episcopal ritual being read at tbe grave. Colonel Porter was one of God's greatest noblemen. He was a man in every tense tlat the word implies, and leaves behind him a record of good deeds and noble virtues peculiar to tbe generation in which he lived. Colonel Porter was a type of the Southern gentleman of the old school aod it may be truthfully said tbat bis generosity was bis chief fault. For sixty-four years be lived an open-fa snded life and left tbe world without an enemy behind.

Born in Hinds county near Ray ojond in 1835, be was given a good oommon school education, and while yet a young man, decided to adopt law as bis profession. At tbe age of 24 ysars be was admitted to tbe bar and commenced practice at tbe State capital. In 1863 be was elected secretary of tbe State Senate at the session held at Columbus during the dark and stormy times when Charles Clark was inaugurated was Governor of Mississippi. He held this office for many years, and as one of tbe recognized leaders during tbe revolution in 1875 when tbo reign of Gov. Aldebert Ames was overthrown and tbe carpetbaggers driven from Mississippi's State bouse.

He served a part of two terms as assistant-secretary of State to Henry C. Meyers and tbe late Col. George Govan. In 1893 was appointed by President Cleveland as postmaster at Jackson, hich position he held! until November, 1897. Colonel Porter had for many years been prominent in fraternity circles and held the highest positions in tbe local Masonic and Odd Fellows lodges in this city.

He was married wbile yet a young roan to Miss Hobson, daughter of Richard Hobson, at tbat time a prominent citizen of Jackson, and an uncle of Richmond Pearson Hobson, tbe hero of the Mer-rimac. From tbis union resulted three sons, Mes9rs. Price, Josepb and McGee Porter, and one daughter, Miss Kate, who are cow living, and two sons, Messrs. George and William Porter, who died several years ago. To tbe grief-strieken widow and ber fatherless children tbe Clarion -Ledger extends its deepest sympathy in tbis their hour of Borrow.

THE BRYAN MEDAL It Was Won at the llnivereity by a Jackson Boy. Hon. W. Bryan, when in Mississippi, gave to tbe University of Mississippi $250, tbe income from wbicb is to be devote to tbe giving of a me 3 ill to that member of tbe Senior olass preparing tbe best address or thesis on some subject connected with tbe soience of government. On commencement day at tbe University tbis week the medal for tbis year was given to W.

Calvin Wells, of this oity. The manuscripts were all submitted to Hon. John Sbarpe Williams as judge, and without knowledge as to who were tbe writers be made tbe award as stated. This makes tbe third medal won by tbis young Jacksonian at tbe University and with bis high standing and universal popularitj make bis friends deservedly proud of him. TWENTY-SECOND MISSISSIPPI.

Tde Iteunion at Stafford's Wells a Most Pleasant Occasion. Recently Dr. Tnos. Washburn, a snrviror of tbe Twenty-second Mississippi reginoent, invited his comrades to have a reunion at Stafford's Wells, 6wped by binj, near Winona, Miss, The day fixed, tbe 23rd of June, was an ideal one and several thousand persons from Montgomery and other counties were there to greet the old veterans.

F. HUNTER, Secretary. As yet cbarben bas gained no extensive foothold in Mississippi and tba only cases known to exist are in Warren and Issaquena counties. Tbe State Board of Health issues tbe above regulation as a precautionary measure. The disease prevails to some extent in Louisiana and Texas and in some instances assumes a very virulent fcrm.

Aooording to Keating 'a medical tic-tionary cbarbon is a fatal, infectious, contagious disease of animals due to the introduction into tbe system cf tbe baccilus antbracis. It is very common in Europe but rare in America up to a few months ago. When introduced into tbe skin of man the bacilli produce malignant pustule, a carbcncle-like inflammation witb rapidly developing general symptoms, and usually death. Tbe disease is being successfully prevented witb a serum tbat ha been attenuated by repeated inoculation of animals witb tbe bacilli. MISSISSIPPI FORM BOOK Justices of The Peace.
