They represent that the recent troubles are of a personal nature and are now over. They do not want federal troops sent into Mississippi. They set forth that if troops @re sent into the state the negroes will elect to office men plastered over with indictments for various misdems rs. If troops are not sent into the state they are of the pinion that the legislature will be lost wo the republican party, but that the success- ful ‘idates will be lovers of order, and law-abiding @nd patriotic legislators. They think the reverse, however, will be overeome in time for the Presidential issne. @nd that in that campaign the republican candidate will receive the majority of the votes cast in that state. The Attorney General advised the delega- tion to remain here until the President's re- turn and reitterate the statements made to him to the President. ‘HENRY V AT THE NATIONAL.—It was an- nouaced in THE STAR yesterday that fhe actor Rignold was too ill to appesrin King Henry V at the National last night.

He commenced his diplomatic career in the ministry of foreign affairs, but for the past seven years he has been first secretary of ie gation at Paris, where he was very popular on account of bis agreeable manners.

Mr. Rignold was safferiig from dys- ertery on Thursday evening, but hoped his trouble would soon pass away. Yestertay morning he was somewhat better, but to Wards noon he had wrelapse.

C) board of fire commissioners. President Williams said: “When I ran with the ma chine and a party refnsed to contribute to our support, we ‘spotted’ his house, and when @ fire came we saved the dinin; property and permitted his tobura. Now, think the national board and the insurance companies should pay the expense of this convention. The chiefs of departments can hardly afford to spare the amount necessary, and I'say to them if the national board or the insurance companies refuse to pay the ex- penses of this meeting they should spot the aad insured in such companies and let it go in case of fire.” pespecch created considerable excitement and indignation among the engineers and \a- surance men Fraps and Williams was urged to retract it. He said he was sorry he had said [t— publicly. y. World.
