Fiery denuiuia t'on of mchtrldtng: and equally flery de numlatfoD of the riders threw the cotton conference, which is meeting here. Into disorder today and nearly terminated the day s session before the programme had fairly begun. Kxcited delegates hurled charges and counter - charges agulnst each other. Walter Clark, of Clarksuale. Miss., pre cipitated the trouble when he called the niR-htriilers "curs" and men who shot peo ple (n the hack. A. C Roane, a resident of Northeastern Mississippi, jumped on hfs chair and railed Mr. Clark to order. He said night riders were an oppressed people, fighting for what they believed to be rhrnt. work ing against overwhelming odds, but a I wars from the best motives.

IMMENSE POSTAL DEFICIT Uncle Sam Spends $17,000,000 Over Returns During Year. WASHINGTON. Nov. II. Postmaster General Meyer announced today that the postal deficit for the fiscal year ended June 3ft. 1908. amounted to $13. 910.279. The receipt were $191.478.t.13. bain $7,895,657 greater than In the previous year, and the expenditures were $08.351.8S6. The deficit Is the largest in the history of the Postoffice Department. An analysis of the figures shows that $9,891.3:11 represents- tha advance In the rate of compensation authorized by Congress for employes of the railway mail service, rural de livery service, city delivery service and assistant postmasters and clerks In postoffices. The Postmaster-General said in his an nual report that he would call the at tention of Congress to the fact that he is "(Irmly convinced that the establish ment of a special local parcels post, con fined to rural routes, would tend to wipe out the postal deficit and would finally make the rural delivery self-sustaining, besides being of service to the farmer and a boon to the retail country mer chants." There are- now In operation more than 39.000 rural routes, he said, serving a population of about 18.000.000 people, and should an average of 65 pounds of mer chandise be carried by the rural carrier on each trip throughout the year. It Is estimated that $15,000,000 would be realised. There would be five eenta for the first pound and two cents for each additional pound op to 11 pounds, the maximum weight of a package. With the exception of a small percentage paid to postmasters of the fourth class for Increased cancellations, ne saja. an rev enue from this parcels post would be clear a-ain. as there would be no railroad trana- nortntion whatever, the -service being confined to packages mailed by bona fide merchants and patrons or tne rural routes. I feel." continued Mr. Meyer, "mat from an administrative and business view point it is most desirable that such leg islation be enacted Infant Son or Prince Chun Taken to Palace N'ot' Believed Ruler Cm Survive. PEKIN. Nov. 12. The condition of the Emperor is so serious that the various legations here are sending cable dispatches thereon to their re spective governments. There have been circumstantial rumors among the people of the death of the Emperor and his little brother, the infant son of Prince Chun, has been brought into the palace. The Emperor has been suffering for 10 years past from chronic nephritis, k condition now complicated with diabetes and sciatica. It Is admitted that his brain is affected. Although the government has ga zetted during the past few days au diences between the Emperor and members of the grand council, there is reason to believe that these have been in name only. There probably has been no actual audiences since Novem ber 8. NO NEW CURRENCY BILL Changes In Banking Laws 'Hill Only Be Attempted This Session. WASHINGTON. Nov. II. Congress man John W.. Weeks, of Boston, chair man of the subcommittee on banking laws of the Congressional Joint currency committee, talked with the President to day. He expressed the opinion when leaving the White House that there would be no currency legislation passed at the com ing session of Congress, but said it was not unlikely that a bill changing the banking laws would be Introduced. He believed certain changes in the Na tional banking act, based on recom mendations of the Controller of the Cur rency and experienced bankers, would be embodied In the measure. He thought the bill might not be passed at this ses sion, but Its Introduction woud afford time for full consideration and clear the way for Its passage at the next session.
