The ON DESPERATE Sham Have Armed Forces Reach Critical Stage. BOTH SIDES ARE FIRM. Published by The TRIBUNE PUBLISHING COMPANY. THE SITUATION Both Taylor and Beckhami H and Complications Reach POWERS AND DAVIS ESCAPE BOTH THE SITUATION DESPERATE Both Taylor and Beckham Have Armed Forces and Complications Reach Critical Stage. They Are Intercepted, However, At Lexington By Sheriff and Police and Jailed. Almost without warning the storm center of excitement in the Kentucky gubernatorial struggle shifted to Lexington Saturday night. Secretary of State Caleb Powers and Captain Davis, for whom warrants were issued charging complicity in the murder of Governor Goebel, after spending the day in the statehouse at Frankfort, to which the civil officers bearing the warrants were refused admittance by the soldiers on duty, left town in disguise. Powers and Davis were slipped aboard a Chesapeake and Ohio train at 8 o'clock Saturday night and speeded toward Lexington. A equad of soldiers, coming from the governor's mansion at double quick, caught the train just before it pulled out. The plan of escape was so neatly laid and executed that it took the police and big force of deputy sheriff appointed to guard the entrance to the capitol grounds and prevent their escape, off their feet when they realized what had occurred. It was several minutes before the 'truth of the escape of the men was definitely known. Chief of Police Williams immediately sent telegrams to Lexington, Midway and all stations along the road, notifying officers of the escape and ordering them to be on the lookout. On the arrival of the train in Lexington at 8:40 Secretary of State Powers and Capitol Policeman Davis and Lieutenant Peak were arrested by the Lexington police and the sheriff and deputies. There was a large force of officers awaiting the fugitives. Powers and Davis still were the uniforms of soldiers and Davis had on false whiskers. There was a wild scene when the officers broke into the car and revolvers were drawn by all, but the small squad of soldiers were greatly outnumbered by the police force of Lexington and the large force of deputies with the sheriff, and the arrest was effected without difficulty. A local attorney recognized Powers and also pointed out Davis. They were seized and hurried to the jail. As the procession swept toward the jail some people started the report that there was to be a lynching, and soon the streets were packed with people, an enormous crowd gathering about the jail. Davis, Powers and Peake were hurried to the upper cells, but Peake was later released on bond on a common warrant charge of resisting arrest. Davis had $125 in money on his person and a revolver. There was found on Powers $1,300. In the inside pocket of each man was found a pardon from Governor W. S. Taylor, duly signed and sealed. Powers made the statement to an Associated Press representative that he was not fleeing from arrest. He was simply getting away from Frankfort to avoid lying in jail as Whitaker had been forced to do; that he had nothing to fear from arrest, as he was not guilty of the charge. The official announcement was made that this appointment is only temporary. This was regarded as significant, it being understood that Colonel Murray accepted the appointment on account of the gravity of the present situation, and with the understanding that he could resign when the conditions in the state become more quiet. Sheriff Bosworth applied at once to the armory for a special detail of soldiers under Captain Longmire and they responded, arriving at the jail a few moments later, prepared to resist the rumored prospective attack. The sheriff then designated a posse to supplement a squad of soldiers provided trouble might come and declared that any attempt to take either of the prisoners from the jail would be resisted to a finish. According to a statement made by Governor Taylor to a representative of the Louisville Commercial, he has granted a pardon to each of the persons for whom warrants have been issued charging them with being accessories to the assassination of Governor Goebel, including Secretary of State Caleb Powers and ex-Secretary of State Charles Finley. In his statement Governor Taylor recites the conditions under which he claims to have been elected, and charges the Democratic contestants for state offices with conspiracy to secure control of the governmeat. The Sabbath day brought a hopeful and encouraging calm to the storm. Judge George Denny, a prominent Republican attorney, called on the prisoners during the day and was closed with them several hours. He will represent them in whatever legal steps are taken. BRITISH CASUALTIES TO DATE. All of the Big Companies Are Organizing In the East. Up to Monday Morning Total Losses In War Footed Up 15,977. The war office in London posts a bulletin announcing the casualties of the South African war up to Monday morning as follows: Killed, 2,418; wounded, 8,747; died of disease, 1,029; missing, 3,483; total, 15,677. The New York Journal of Commerce says: The recent negotiations of the American and Continental Tobacco companies to arrange for a consolidation of the leading snuff interests of the country are said to have been practically completed and a new $25,000,000 company will, it is stated, be organized to take over all the snuff business of both the Continentalacco and American Tobacco compat as well as the Atlantic Snuff company and Helme Snuff company. Fire early Sunday morning in the building of the Massachusetts Macorini Company, on North street, Boston, caused a loss estimated from $75,000 to $150,000. One man was killed and four seriously injured. V 15. XV. Report Is Given Out That Taylor Would Attempt to Arrest Beckham. Sunday morning the Democrats and the Republicans in Kentucky were for the first time since the present political complications assumed acute form, divided into two armed and organized factions. Surrounding the capitol and the state executive building and camped in the grounds around Governor Taylor's home were nearly 200 state militia, well provided with ammunition, while in the corridors of the hotel in which the Democratic state executive officers are located, and in the streets adjacent to that guilding were sixty special officers and the men and boys of a militia company that was organized in Fraenkort during the day, as the nucleus of Governor Beckham's state guard, besides scores or more of heavily armed citizens, partisans of the Democratic element. Within an hour after the democratic leaders heard a rumor that an attempt was to be made by the state militia to take Gov. Beckam into custody a petition had been circulated and signed by the requisite number of men necessary to form a militia company. The men guarded the Capitol hotel all night against any possible attempt to arrest Governor Beckham. The Democratic partisans say that should the militia attempt to interfere with the session of the legislature, persistent rumors of which had been in circulation all day, it would be next to impossible to avert bloodshed. The republican officials, however, deny that such action has been ever contemplated, and that the legislature would not be molested in any way. The formation of the state guard in Frankfort to support Governor Beckham was undertaken by City Clerk Ben Marshall, who circulated a paper and anlisted the requisite number of men who are to compose the new company. The guns for this company have been provided by citizens, most of them being either needle guns or winchester's. Sunday afternoon a report gained currency that Governor Taylor had given his soldiers orders to arrest Governor Beckham and other officers of the Democratic state government. On account of this report the men enlisted by Captain Marshall were assembled at the city hall, armed and sworn in as special police for the purpose of protecting the Democritic officers who are still quartered at the Capitol hotel. A large number of citizens also volunteered and were assigned to various posts in the vicinity of the hotel to offer a resistance in case the talked-of arrests were attempted. Governor Beckham Sunday afternoon appointed Colonel David R. Murry, of Clover Point, assistant adjutant general, with the rank of colonel, and he was sworn in. Fatal Fire In Boston.

Atlanta, Ga.; is to have; inside of four months at the very farthest; a magnificent plant for the manufacture of cotton mill machinery, with a capita stock of $500,000. Of this $100,000 will be raised in Atlanta. Of the remaining $400,000, $350,000 has already been pledged by large English and New England capitalists, who have had the matter of locating such a plant under consideration for some months. Of the $100,000 which will be raised by Atlanta men, $27,500 was raised Wednesday afternoon at a meeting of prominent business men in the rooms of the Atlanta Business Men's league. When it is stated that the annual output in machinery of the plant will be valued at $3,500,000, and that of this amount it is expected that the cotton mills of the south will purchase fully 75 per cent yearly, some idea of the great value of the plant can be obtained. Without doubt this investment is the most important that has been inaugurated in Atlanta in years. It is confidently expected that the establishment of such a plant will simply mean the nucleus of many similar industries. which will go to make Atlanta one of the most important cities of industry, not only in the south, but in the whole country. "PEG LEG" WAS RELEASED And Clarke County Officials Raise a Big Row In Consequence. An investigation that may develop some interesting facts is in prospect over the release of "Peg Leg" Williams, Georgia's famous emigrant agent. The county commissioners of Clarke county have stated that they will investigate the release of Williams upon bond by Atlanta officials while a warrant was out for him from that county. According to the story told in Athens, it seems that Williams had been in Clarke county securing a large number of negroes to emigrate to Mississippi plantations, and that many of them were about to leave the farmers of that vicinity owing them large amounts. Much objection was raised to the removal of the negroes. Attempts were made to stop-it, but failed. A warrant was sworn out for Williams, and an officer started to Atlanta to make the arrest. In the meantime a warrant from Fulton county authorities had been issued and Williams had been arrested. He gave bond and was released before the Clarke county officer put in an appearance. When he/did reach the city he made a demand for the prisoner, and it is stated after some delay he was told that Williams had been released on bond. It is said that the Clarke county officer was mad, but there was no help for it. His prisoner was gone. Sheriff Nelms, of Atlanta, said that the reason Williams was released was that he was under only one warrant, and that he gave bond which was solvent and he considered good, and, as customary in such cases, released the man. "The warrant from Clarke county never reached us until after the prisoner was gone, and we were not cognizant of its existence," said Sheriff Nelms. M'KINLEY SIGNS MEASURE. The Financial Bill Became Law at Ten O'Clock Last Wednesday. At 1:14 o'clock Wednesday afternoon the president affixed his signature to the financial bill, thus making it a law of the land. Mr. Overstreet, of Indiana, who had the bill in charge arrived at the white house about five minutes before that time and was shown into the cabinet room, where he was joined by the president, who after inquiring if the bill had been compared with care, affixed his signature to it. At the same time he recalled to those who stood by the fact that many of the important financial bills which had been passed by congress had been approved on the 14th of each month. He spoke of the Sherman act, the resumption act and now the bill which was before him. In signing the bill the president used a new gold pen and holder, which Mr. Overstreet had brought with him for the purpose. TYSON CONSPIBACY CASE Taken Up For Trial By United States Court In Savannah. The case of D. A. Tyson and others, charged with conspiracy in using the mails in pursuance of a scheme to defraud, was taken up in the United States court in Savannah, Ga., Monday morning. Almost as soon as it was called attorneys filed a demurre to the indictment, claiming that it was not sufficient in law and that no evidence had been produced to show that the mails had been used for fraudulent purposes. After listening to argument, Judge Emory Speer overruled the demurre and ordered the case to trial. BOBS CHECKED IN HIS ADVANCE English Meet Strong Resistance Near Bloemfontein. A STUBBORN FIGHT IS GIVEN Battle Raged All Day and Boers Were Always Ready---Britons Finally Win Out. Advices from Driefontein, Orange Free State, under date of March 11, state that Broadwood's cavalry brigade, advancing on Bloemfontein, unexpectedly found the Boers in a strong position in the Driefontein kopies on Saturday. General Kelly-Kenny's division arriving, severe fighting ensued. The Boers resisted stuhlbornly, but were driven from their center position, leaving a number of dead and forty prisoners. During the fighting, in which five regiments took part, with artillery, the Boers, though forced from their center position, clung tenaciously to the other kopjes, shelling the British fiercely with three guns and two Vickers-Maxims. The British cavalry began to turn the Boer position, but night fell before the movement was completed. The Boers retired during the night. All of the day was occupied in fighting. The Boers maintained a stubborn rear guard action along a running front of twelve miles on a very difficult ground. The British were advancing in three columns. General Tucker, to the southward, occupied Petrusberg unopposed; General Kelly-Kenny after following the river bank moved in the direction of Abraham's kraal. At Driefontein, about eight miles south of Abraham's kraal, the Boers were found posted in considerable strength on the ridges connecting several kopjes where they had mounted guns. The action began at 8 in the morning with an artillery duel. General French's cavalry and Major Porter's brigade supported our guns. The Boer artillery was accurately handled and the British cavalry found the task harder than they had expected. General Broadwood, with dogged perseverance, moved altogether six miles southward trying to find a means to get around, but the Boers followed behind ground and even attempted to outflank him. Meanwhile, the Sixth division of infantry, advancing on the Boer left slowly, forced the enemy to retire. Had the infantry been able to move faster, the Boers would have been enveloped. The last shot was fired at 7:30 p.m. Sunday morning not a Boer was to be seen. The prisoners belonged to President Kruger's own commando. The storming of Alexander kopje by the Welsh was a particularly fine piece of work. The mobility of the Boers in moving, their guns was very remarkable. The New South Wales mounted infantry made a gallani but unsuccessful attempt to capture a gun. A large number of Australians were engaged in Saturday's fight. The First Australian Horse Bridgade, with the Scots Greys, advanced within 800 yards of the Boers under heavy fire. The New South Wales mounted infantry joined in the pursuit of the Boers northward. IN LOUISVILLE JAIL Whittaker and Coulton Removed From Frankfort Under Heavy Guard. Harlan Whittaker and W. H. Coulton, who were confined in jail at Frankfort, charged with complicity in the assassination of Goebel, were removed from the jail at an early hour Sunday morning and taken in a hack to Shelbyville, where they were placed on a train and sent to Louisville under a heavy guard. It is understood they will be kept in the Louisville jail till the April term of the circuit court, when they will be returned to Frankfort for trial. COMMISSION COMING SOUTH.

An Atlanta dispatch says: R. A. Williams, better known as "Peleg" Williams, the man who has been in so much trouble about sending negro emigrants westward; has again been arrested on the same old charge of hiring negro labor for emigration without a state license. There is also a warrant for Williams from South Carolina, and still another warrant which is in the hands of the sheriff of Fulton county. Chief Manly, of Atlanta, received a warrant for Williams several days age from South Carolina, but Williams was not in the city and the warrant was temporarily ignored held. Saturday a warrant came to the police authorities from Athens, Ga. Sunday morning Officer Hill found Williams just as he stepped from a train at the depot, and the alleged labor agent was arrested and locked up at the police barracks. Later in the day the prisoner was turned over to the county officials, the sheriff having a warrant for him. In the meantime the South Carolina warrant was brought to light, and Williams now has three new charges for labor hiring to answer to. Williams was arrested on a warrant in South Carolina last summer; and he got out of that scrape in some way and came to Georgia. He was arrested on the charge of hiring groes in Morgan county. The case went against him, and he gave bond and took an appeal. He was again arrested in Greene county and gave bond, the case being postponed to await a decision by the supreme court in the Morgan county case. The prisoner is charged with employing squads of negroes for plantations in Mississippi and Arkansas. There is a state law in Georgia, he states, which makes it necessary for a labor agent to have a $500 license for each county in which he operates. This he considers prohibitory and unconstitutional. He has appealed his case on the ground that the law is not constitutional and that he can no more be taxed than any railroad agent. Williams does not admit that he is working for the owners of the western farms, where the negro labor is wanted, but states that he is employed by the railroads, on a salary, to induce emigrants to travel over certain routes. .

FROM CHAPEL TO GRAYE. Goebel's Body Is Connagled to Earth In Frankfort Cemetery. Monday evening the remains of Governor William Goebel were taken from the chapel at Frankfort, where they have been under guard since February 8th, and buried in the plot of ground west of the chapel on the hill overlooking the Kentucky river. The services were brief, consisting simply of prayer and singing. Members of the legislature attended in a body. Memorial services were held in both houses of the legislature during the day. PLOT MISCARRIED. Bulk of Cronje's Captured Army Leaves For Island of St. Helena." Advices from Cape Town state that another plot was discovered Wednesday to free the Boer prisoners at Simonstown. The remarkable quantities of watermelons received by the prisoners aroused comment and an investigation discovered that compromising letters were contained in the melons, the writers planning the escape of the capitives. Great satisfaction is felt at the fact that transports with the bulk of the prisonersailed for St. Helena Wednesday night. NO 23 BLOEMFONTEIN IS EVACUATED Lord Roberts Takes Possession of Orange Free State Capital. British General's Headquarters Are Now at President Steyn's Palatial Home. Advices reaching London Wednesday announced that Bloemfontein surrendered at 10 o'clock Tuesday morning. The city was occupied at noon. President Steyn, with a majority of the fighting burghers, fled north. General French was within five miles of the place at 5 o'clock Monday afternoon. He sent a summons into the town threatening to bombard unless it surrendered by 4 a.m. Tuesday. A white flag was hoisted Tuesday morning and a deputation of the town council, with Mayor Kellner, went out to meet Lord Roberts at Spitz kop, five miles south of the town, making a formal surrender of the place. Lord Roberts made a state entry at noon. He received a tremendous ovation. After visiting the public buildings he went to the official residence of the president, followed by a cheering crowd, who waved the British flag and sang the British national anthem. They were in a condition of frenzied excitement. On Monday afternoon previous to the surrender there had been a little sniping and shelling, but the enemy then retired. Lord Roberts has his headquarters at the president's house and there are many of the British wounded in the building. The following is the text of Lord Roberts's dispatch to the war office announcing his occupation of Bloemfontein: "BLOEMFONTEIN, Tuesday, March 18, 8 p. m.—By the help of God and by the bravery of her majesty's soldiers, the troops under my command have taken possession of Bloemfontein. The British flag now flies over the presidency, evacuated last evening by Mr. Steyn, late president of the Orange Free State. Mr. Frazer, member of the late executive government; the mayor, the secretary of the late government, the Landrost and other officials met me two miles from the town and presented me with the keys of the public offices: "The enemy have withdrawn from the neighborhood and all seems quiet. The inhabitants of Bloemfontein gave the troops a cordial reception." LONDON BEJOICES. Lord Robert's dispatch caused a feeling of great relief in London. The absence of the news eagerly looked for had provoked some apprehension during the earlier part of the day that the British had met with a check before Bloemfontein, and anxious inquiries were made at the office in the lobbies of parliament. At Windsor the news was received with much joy. The queen commanded that it be immediately published and she instructed her equerry, at the dinner table, to send a note to the officers of the household brigade. The battalion was on parade at 10:15 p. m. Major St. Aubyn read her majesty's note and called for cheers for the queen and Lord Roberts. The band played "God Save the Queen." Wherever Lord Robert's dispatch was read, his reference to the "late" President Stayn and the "late" executive was immediately fastened upon as highly significant. The lord mayor announced the news at a banquet to the masters of the city companies which was in progress at the mansion house. It was recesed with great cheering, the company rising and singing "God Save the Queen." The evening papers in Liverpool, Manchester and Glasgow published special editions, causing joyful demonstrations in those cities. COMES AFTER FORTUNE. George N. Cooper, of Elgin, Scotland, Inherits $22,000,000. Among the passengers that arrived at New York Wednesday from Liverpool on the White Star liner Oceanic was George N. Cooper, of Elgin, Scotland, heir to half the estate of $50,000,000, left by George Smith, the pioneer banker of Chicago. Mr. Cooper was accompanied by Mrs. Cooper, who also inherited a share of the estate. Mr. Cooper shares with J. H. Smith, the "silent man of Wall street," the entire fortune, after a few minor legacies are paid. In all probability he will receive more than $22,500,000. He was a life long friend of the old millionaire, although much younger. 1 { The Savannalt Tribane, eee s PUBLISHED EVERY SATURDAY LY THE TRIBUNE PUBLISHING ©. | ,.. ST. JULIAN STREET, NB.

Pledger to visit this city with the endeavor of conciliating the exist. ing differences. This request was not made by the regular organization, but the leaders of which desiriug harmony in the ranks of the party, submitted. Nine men from each aide were selected and it was propos- ed that whatever was done should be binding on tioth. Several proposi- Sons looking. towards harmony were proposed and rejected until finally it was approred that the matter would be submitted to the state convention in its regular way and all parties agreed to submit to its findings. ‘This was done and the results are known.

Watch our prediction and it will be found to be true. “Andrew Jackson Snelson.” The Hon. Andrew Jackson Snel- zon of Meriwether county, Georgia, has nominated himself for Repost tative in Congress from the Fourth district of that State. Judging from some of the resolutions which he presented at the first Snelson meet- ing, he would be a worthy addition to the Democratic phalanx in the next House, and generally a thing ot beauty and a boon. One of these resolutions, after whereasing that whiie med discovered the United Btates, gained its independence, and 80 on, resolves: *Thists the white man’s Government, and we earnestly entreate the citizens-of er- ery State in the Union to pledge their can- didates for Congress to take such steps as ate inecestary ta have it engrafted in the Constitation of the United States thst none ‘but white men shall bold an office of trust or profit in this patiun, We especially urge all colored citizens to request every political party in the United States to have it incor- porsted in theic respective platforms that none but while men shall bold any office of trust or profit in the United States. This is urged because it is best for the white man and best for the black maa.” * Lhe colored citizens and most white citizens ontside of come of the Squthern States willvotaccept the Shelsonian theory, but, ut leastzthey cannot deny the courage and the thoronghness with which the man| sets to work. With his strortg hand the Hon. Andrew Jackson Snelson would tear from the Constitution a great work of the war. Butalthough other minds might conceive this idea, ‘could anybody but Andrew Jackson Snelson “have thought of the grand plan of asking ,the culured citizens toask to be incapacitated to hold office ? The brain of the Hon. Andrew Jackson Snelson was only preluding wher it gave forth that resolution. the grand, sweet song wae yct to come. He further recommended that the Constitution “be so amend- ed that before Congress can declare war with a foreign nation, unless we are invaded, it ehall ba submitted to a vote of the people aud be ratified by a two-thirds vote of the entire voting popaiation of the nation.” | Nobody can venerate the initiative and referendum half so much as we do, but this application of that aub- Time institution to the declaration of war surprises even us. Probably it-would ake surprise foreign nations with navies. Has the Hon. Andrew Jackson Snelson ever heard of the ocean ?—N. Y. Sun. About the Census. No class of the seat population of the United States has a keener inter- est in the céngus than the nive mil- lion Negroes. By the warm friends of the race 1t is believed that, if only « correct cengus were had, fa- yorable conditions and steady, hope- ful progress would be proved and those of their traducers answered, Only once in ten years this oppor- tunity comes to place themeelves up- on record, an opportunity too great to be lost by ignorance or indifference ‘or unwarrsuted fear. Every Afro- American leader who has the true interest of his rice at heart will en- ter upon earnest and persistent ef- forta to teach them the ecope and purpose of the coming ceasus. He will explain that to be counted by the Federal government is a right which cannot be taken away by any local or state government.

His re- plies to the euumerator cau not be made the basis of taxation or in any way Le used to his harin. ‘The questions asked of colored and white citizens are exactly the same. ‘The main features are inqui- ries about name, age, relationship, occupativn, birthplace, ability to read and whether the home is owned or rented. Questions concerning the occupa- tion are of special importance, Col- ored persons engaged in agriculture should be prepared to report for the year 1899. Then when the enumer- ator comes asking the quantity, vs- riety and value of the crops of thal year, they will be ready. ‘Che thrif- ty housewife should reckon the pro- ceeds of her dairy and poultry yard.

Inthe census he is a wit ness in his own behalf before a court which will render a verdict without fear or favor upon his own unques- tioned testimony. If he lose this opportunity the loss will rest at his own door, The census office will treat him as it does every. other American citizen. — From Judge Matthews. EpiTror SAVANNAH TRIBUNE.

His effots along this hne are highly appreciated by the educated classes who have implicit confidence im the jability and purposes of our govern- ment to give them protection to life land property anjl-emaucipation from the heavy taxes imposed by church and State under Spanish rule. It is only the ignorant and robber clusses that the rebels have as followers and they are rapidly disbanding. _ It is perfectly safe to state to all whom it may concern that the Com- manding General has-the situation here fally in hand and is rapidly re- storing order among 9 parole who have been in a state of rebellion the past sixty years.

M.E. Church, the A. M. A., the M.E Church and the State Biptigts would do well to sep young men and women here as son as pos- sible. ELGG a Pe ere “Re eure’ thy eine will find thee ont? The above axiom was fully dem- onstrated Inst week whenjwo appar- ently excellent young men, highly respected by their own race and fal- ly trested “by the white race, were apprehended ‘and cburged with for- gery and thievery: The amounts alleged to have bevn stolen ig thought to be Jess than one hundred and fil ty dollars between the two, still the crime is as great. and the punish- ment will be as severe as if they had stolen a million. It is passing strarge, it is surpris- ing that these young men of appar- ently sound and dispiaing. munds should drag their fu esentcheons into the mire of infamy and blight the lives of their families for all tne to como by such unwarranted acts. ‘This alfair is exceedingly uufor- tunate, indeed all similar ones are, bur of others we we not now dealing. When we consider jhe fact that the opportunities for genteel employ- ment for colored young men are les- senmg every yeareven tinder normal conditions, What are we to expect fur the future when those holding good positions will not deal honestly with their employers?” Of course the white people reason Wogieally and erroneously when they proclaim: that “all Negroes are alike,—all will steal,” but when some of our best young men fall b the wayside, succumb to temptation and purloin that which is not their own, they give the whites license to think of'us what they will By the conduct of the unfortun- nates Dan and Pacem Williams, the whole Negro race is lowered in the final estimate by the whites, for hereafter all white employers sill draw the lines tighter, watch their employees more clo-ely and trust them considerably less. and if for no other reason than the odiam cast upon the present and the blight up- on the future of other yonag men. these that have gone astray should be severely punished by due process of lair and the courts, for punish. ment of these will aet as a deterrent upow others of like provlivitics. I cannot help but feel _a twinge of sorrow fur the stricken wives of theee foolish young men, for they, though innocent, must bear the shame of the misconduct of their husbands. It is singularly strange that the Negro can perform xs many great dved aud noble acts as will take many volums to fill yet the current press of the white people never take any cognizance of them or chronicle the fact, but just let a Negro com- mit acrime, it matters not whether he is high or low, rich or poor, a member of the upper tens or the lower nines, he is published in glar- ing heudline articles as 8 member of the Negro “400.” The reason for this is obvious: They wish to break up Negro society and keep the race forever divided by classing any erim- inal as a member of said society and thns create an aversion to what is known as high class Negro suciety. As long as the white man can keep the Negro divided in factions and ; lighting each other, he (the white man) will invariably be the gainer by the division. ] Resolutions of Appreciation, The following. resolutions were extended Miss C.B.

Mrs. F. M. Cohen is also among the sick ones. Mrs. Rena Williams is on the sick list this week. Miss A. E. Carson and Mrs. Sarah Brown were callers on Wednesday. Mrs. Elizabeth Milliner, mother, of Mr. R. W. Rogers, is reported quite ill. Miss May Reynolds is out again after a three weeks wrestle with Lu-grippe. Mrs. Maria Bolen, who has been ill for the past two weeks is much improved. Mr. and Mrs. C. H. Price announce the engagement of their daughter, Nona, to Mr. J. Lawrence Mitchell. Among the sick ones for the past two weeks, was Mrs. M. C. Houston, but we are glad to say that she is improving. Mr. W. J Jones, the trunk maker, can be found at 308 Drayton street. He makes and repair trunks at reasonable prices. Call on him. Secretary W. A. Houton, of the Y. M. C. A., was in the city on Thursday and at night addressed the colored Y. M. C. A., at the Ford's opera house. Capt. L. A. Washington wants his friends to know that he is not the "Lynus Washington" published on Sunday last as having committed a crime. The Turner Song and Literary Institutions of St. James A. M. E. church will render quite an interesting program on Sunday afternoon at 4 o'clock. Mr. M. Brown, will leave next week to take a vacation. It seems that the steady confinement at the Adelphia Club does not agree with his health. Master Alexander Houston of our force has been at home sick all the week, hence Master Albert has not had the jolly good time that he usually has when Alex. is around. Hon. S. S. Mincey of Ailey, was circulating among his friends this week. He is an alternate delegate to the national convention from the Eleventh district. We sympathize with Mrs. E. L Hazel in the loss of her house by fire this week. The house was rented out and it seems that the occupants do not know how it caught. There was no insurance. Mr. P. Edward Perry of Armour Lodge, is advancing in odd-fellowship. On Wednesday night he had the Ruth honors conferred upon him by H. H. of Ruth No. 438, and on next Wednesday night he will enter the P. G. M. C. Household of Rush No. 438 will give a five nights Rainbow Bazaarat the Odd-Fellows Temple, on Harris street, beginning Monday evening March 19th. Several Odd-Fellows and other organizations are invited. Music and refreshments will be on hand each night. Admission 5 cts. Season ticket 15 cents. The celebration of the fourth anniversary of the Twilight Reapers Aid and Social Club Monday evening next, at Duffy street hall, will be one of the grandest social events of the season. It is under the management of Mr. Henry C. Huger, assisted by Messrs. Clarence D. Brown, L. A. Jordan, W. H Williams, Jas. W. Swedenburg, and W. G. Williams. Death of Mrs. Jones. Mrs. Malinda Jones, formerly Mrs Shivery, died on Thursday morning last. She has only been ill a few days. She was a member of Rev. Love's church, and died leaving a testimony of her Christian worth. She leaves a daughter, Miss Madeline Shivery, a son Mr. George Shivery, and several other relatives. The bereaved family has the sympathy of friends. The funeral occurred yesterday afternoon. A Progressive Church. St. James A. M. E. church is on a boom. The pastor and members are desirous of keeping it booming. Within the past year the church raised more money than at any previous year, and has taken in more members. Steps are being taken to surpass the efforts of last year. The effort now on foot is the raising of one thousand dollars. The church has been divided up in bands and each is expected to do its part in raising this amount. At the other ratios the amounts aimed at have been secured and over, and from the outlooks this amount aimed at will be easily secured. The members of St. James are in harmony and closely knitted together for the success of the church. The pastor, Rev. J. B. Epton, is an indefatigable worker and has the support of the members. At each service of his church there is a crowd, especially on Sunday nights, and the services are always interesting. In the effort of the church to raise the thousand dollars, it is hoped that it will receive the aid of the public. The Ministers Evangelical Union convened Monday morning at the usual hour with Dr. Ellis, president, presiding. Rev. Maddox, who was to have conducted devotional exercises being absent, the president appointed Dr. Durham to that duty. He lined a hymn, read Ps. 103, and offered prayer. The minutes of the last meeting were read and approved. Dr. Ellis called the attention of the brethren to a recent proclamation of the mayor of the city to the chief of police to have all policy shops closed, in view of the apprehension of small pox. He thought if the city authorities could close these shops nominally they could have them permanently closed, and suggested that a committee be appointed to wait on him and express the sense of this union to have these gambling places permanently closed. Rev. J. W. Roberts moved that a committee of three be appointed by the chairman whose duty it shall be to wait on the authorities in person or draw up a petition to be published appealing to the officers of the law to see that these wicked shops be closed. The chairman appointed the following ministers for said purpose: Revs. Roberts, Whittuker and Crollly. Rev. Whittaker read a very interesting paper on "The Manifestation of the Lack of Piety in our Churches." The paper was ably written and read and occasioned a warm discussion which was participated in by Reqs. Cargole, Singleton, Epton, Crolly, Bonner, Whitmire and Drs. Love, Durham and Manning. It was finally unanimously adopted with thanks to the author. Sermonic reports: Dr. Love preached from Joshua 15:3, subject, "The Crossing of the Jordan" Rev. C. II. Jenkins of Charleston, S. C., was introduced and addressed the Union. The following brethren will render services next meeting: Rev. J. Crollly, conducting the devotional exercises, and Rev. Mitchell reading a paper, subject, "Selah." Rev. C. H. Jenkins led in prayer, and the benediction was pronounced by president Ellis Demise of an Old Citizen. Mrs. Ann G. Boughes, one of our very oldest citizens departed this life on Monday evening last. She was in her 81st year, and up to the time of being confined to bed, she got around actively. She was of the "old school," and was well-known by both races. Mrs. Boughes was a wonderful lady, a faithful Christian and true friend. She was a member of the First African Baptist church, West Broad street from which she was buried on Wednesday afternoon. The services were conducted by the pastor, Rev. M J. Maddox, as-isted by Revs. Ellis, Griffin and Waters. The last tribute of respect was paid her by a large number of friends. Mrs. Boughes leaves an only son, Mr. Jos D. Boughes, two brothers, Rev. Jas. M. Simms of this city and Mr. Thomas M. Simms of Washington, and a sister, and a number of other relatives. The bereaved family has the sympathy of the entire community. Euthusiastic Meeting. One of the largest and most enthusiastic meetings held by the 19th Century Mothers since their organization was held at the First African Baptist church on Wednesday night. A large number of persons were present. An address was made by Dr. Love which was highly appreciative. Madame A. A. Whitman who has done such herculean work in this city in getting together such a large force of mothers for good, certainly deserves great credit. Mrs. Whitman leaves to-night to join her husband in Atlanta, but it is hoped that the good work she has begun will be continued by the mothers. Rainbow Bazaar. The rainbow bazaar by Household of Ruth No 438, will be the attraction at the Harris street hall during next week. Monday night there will be a cake walk; Tuesday night a flag drill, managed by Mrs. Lotte Chappel; Wednesday night a tableau; Thursday night a quartette. The following odd-fellow lodges will visit in bodies, on Monday night Armour Lodge; Wednesday, Protection; Thursday, Savannah lodge. The public is invited. Site For a Park. Efforts are on foot for the securing of a new picnic ground for the colored citizens. A number of the prominent citizens were invited by Mr. H. M. Lofton, superintendent of the S I of II & Thunderbolt road, to inspect certain sites on Thursday. On account of the shortness of the notice the trip was abandoned until yesterday. We will let our readers know next week about the progress made. Baptism at Beth-Eden. Several converts were immersed on Sunday night last at Beth-Eden church. The service was impressive and a large audience was present. Dr. Ellis had about 40 accessions to this church as the result of the recent revival. He will baptize others next Sunday night. The Brotherhood Union will give their 5th annual hop at the Harris street hall Tuesday evening March 27th. Middleton's orchestra will furnish music. Admission 15 cents.

A society has been formed at Montgomery, Ala., with Colonel Francis G. Caffey as chairman, that deserves the cordial commendation and support of all sections of the country. It proposes to hold annual conferences to discuss the race problems of the south, such as the franchise, the education of the negro, religious work and social order and equality. The society has no theories; its directors are divided in opinion upon most of the problems; it invites the fullest and freest discussion in order to get at the truth. I am glad to know that my life-long contention, that the southern people are best fitted by knowledge and experience to deal with their own difficulties, is now conceded. Northern interference, even with the best motives, can accomplish nothing, because of ignorance of the real conditions. The south must work out its own salvation, and I believe that its people are intelligent and conscientious enough to do it grandly. A Natural Ambition. "That Durham is a man of boundless aspirations.

LORD SALISBURY'S REPLY Text of Telegram Sent By Presidents Kruger and Steyn Asking For Cessation of War. A London special says: A parliamentary paper containing the telegrams sent to the British government by the presidents of the South African republics and the Orange Free State and Great Britain's reply thereto was issued Tuesday afternoon. The telegram of the two presidents was as follows: "BLOEMFONTEIN, March 5.—The blood and the tears of thousands who have suffered by this war and the prospect of all moral and economic ruin wherewith South Africa is now threatened make it necessary for both belligerents to ask themselves dispassionately and as in the sight of the tribune of God for what are they fighting and whether the aim of each justifies all this appalling misery and devastation. "With this object and in view of the assertions of various British statesmen to the effect that this war was begun and is being carried on with the set purpose of undermining her majesty's authority in South Africa and of setting up an administration over all of South Africa independent of her majesty's government, we consider it our duty to solemly declare that this war was undertaken solely as a defensive measure to maintain the threatened independence of the South African republic, and is only continued in order to secure and maintain the incontestable independence of both republics as sovereign international states and to obtain the assurance that those of her majesty's subjects who have taken part with us in this war shall suffer no harm whatever in person or property. "On these conditions, and on these conditions alone, are we now, as in the past, desirous of seeing peace reestablished in the South Africa; while if her majesty's government is determined to destroy the independence of the republics, there is nothing left to us and to our people but to persevere to the end in the course already begun. In spite of the overwhelming pre-eminence of British empire, we are confident that that God who lighted the unexcitingishable fire of love of freedom in the hearts of ourselves and our fathres will not forsake us and will accomplish His work in us and in our descendants. "We hesitated to make the declaration earlier to your excellency, as we feared that as long as the advantage was always on our side and as long as our forces held defensive positions far within her majesty's colonies, such a declaration might hurt the feelings and honor of the British people. But now that the prestige of the British empire may be considered to be assured by the capture of one of our forces by her majesty's troops, and that we have thereby been forced to evacuate other positions which our forces had occupied, that difficulty is over and we can longer hesitate to clearly inform your government and people in the sight of the whole civilized world, why we are fighting and on what conditions we are ready to restore peace." The marquis of Salisbury to the presidents of the South African republic and the Orange Free State: "FOREIGN OFFICE, March 11.—I have the honor to acknowledge your honors' telegram dated March 5th, from Bloemfontein, of which the purport is principally to demand that her majesty's government shall recognize 'the incontestable independence' of the South African republic and Free State as 'sovereign international states' and to offer on those terms to bring the war to a conclusion. "In the beginning of October last peace existed between her majesty and the two republics under conventions which were then in existence. A discussion had been proceeding some ALABAMIASS ASSIGNED. Speaker Henderson, of the House, Makes Several Committee Changes. Several important committee changes affecting Alabama were announced by Speaker Henderson in the house Tuesday afternoon. Because of his recent appointment to the always coveted place on the ways and means committee, Mr. Underwood resigned from the place he has held on the judiciary committee and Mr. Clayton was appointed to this committee in his place. Mr. Clayton in turn resigned from the committee on insular affairs and Mr. Brewer was given this important assignment. HAS STRIKE ON HAND. St. Louis Transit Company Refuses All Demands of Workmen. Shortly after noon Saturday the management of the St. Louis Transit company gave its answer to the demands of its employees presented some days ago by the executive committee of the local branch of the International Amalgamated Association of Street Railway Employees. Practically every demand was refused. months between her majesty's government and the South African republic, of which the object was to obtain redress for certain very serious grievances under which the British residents in South Africa were suffering. In the course of those negotiations the South African republic had, to the knowledge of her majesty's government, made considerable armaments, and the latter had consequently taken steps to provide corresponding reinforcements of the British garrisons at Cape Town and in Natal. "No infringement of the rights guaranteed by the conventions had, up to that point, taken place on the British side. Suddenly, at two days notice, the South African republic, after issuing an insulting ultimatum, declared war upon her majesty; and the Orange Free State, with whom there had not been any discussion, took a similar step. "Her majesty's dominions were immediately invaded by the two republics. Siege was laid to three towns within the British frontier, a large portion of two colonies were overrun with great destruction of property and life, and the republics claimed to treat the inhabitants of extensive portions of her majesty's dominions as if those dominions had been annexed to one or the other of them. In anticipation of these operations the South African republic had been accumulating for many years past military stores on an enormous scale, which by their character could only have been intended for use against Great Britian. "Your honors make some observations of a negative character upon the object with which these preparations were made. I do not think it necessary to discuss the questions you have raised. "The result of these preparations, carried on with great secrecy, has been that the British empire has been compelled to confront an invasion which has entailed upon the empire a costly war and the loss of thousands of precious lives. This great calamity has been the penalty Great Britain has suffered for having, of recent years, acquiesced to the existence of the two republics. "In view of the use to which the two republics have put the position which was given them and the calamities their unprovoked attack have inflicted on her majesty's dominions, her majesty's government can only answer your honor's telegram by saying that they are not prepared to assent to the independence either of the South African republic or the Orange Free State." CURRENCY BILL A LAW. A Washington special says: Tuesday's debate in the house on the conference report on the Republican currency bill brought out able speeches from two members of the Georgia delegation—Mr. Lewis and Judge Maddox. The last step in the enactment of the bill was taken by the house when the conference report on the bill was adopted by a vote of yeas 160, nays 120, present and not voting, 10. The senate had already adopted the conference report, so it remained only for President McKinley to affix his signature to the measures to make it a law. Arrangements had already been made for securing the pen with which the president signed the bill. TENNESSEE REPUBLICANS Will Meet In Nashville To Elect Delegates and Make Nominations.

LILUOKALANI GETS LEFT: Amendment Pensioning Ex-Queen of Hawaii Falls Through. The senate Saturday passed the diplomatic and consular appropriation bill with a few minor amendments. A lively debate was precipitated by an amendment proposed by Mr. Hoar, of Massachusetts, proposing to give the former Queen Liluokalani, of Hawaii, $20,000 and an annuity of $10,000. The amendment was laid on the table and the bill parsed. Mexico May Supply Us with Our Early Vegetables. From recent developments it is apparent that the Southern States will not possess the monopoly of supplying northern cities with garden products, says the Philadelphia Record. The science of refrigeration and the construction of refrigerator ships and refrigerator cars has reached such a high state that it is now possible to raise fruit, it might be sold, in almost any part of the world, and carry it to any other part. The fact has been for years demonstrated by the shipment of carcasses from Australia to England by the shipload, where an enormous trade has been built up. The same principle can be applied to the transportation of fruits. A very large proportion of the product of California is now shipped eastward in refrigerator cars, and some of the finest fruits on display in the East come from that State in this way. The agriculturists in the South have recently had their attention directed to the advisability of diversifying crops by the high price paid for garden products. The market garden has of late years become a very important factor in southern agricultural economy. Enterprising capitalists, since the development of Mexico by railroads have been looking at the possibilities of climate there, and have taken steps in some cases to establish plantations for the growth of fruits on a large scale, which it is their intention to ship by refrigerator processes to United States ports and then to inland points. The schemes read well, and apparently are well based. There appears to be no reason why garden truck could not be raised in Mexico and delivered safely and profitably to a great many cities and towns throughout the United States. A great many products there are four to eight weeks ahead of the South. Dairy farming has become very profitable. Milk in large cities sells at 25 cents in Mexico; butter at 30 to 48 cents a pound. Labor costs only from 12 to 25 cents a day. Sugar cane turned into brown sugar yields from $70 to $95 an acre gross. Green barley and corn are raised in large quantities for fodder. Cattle raising since the Spanish war has been greatly stimulated, and the western cattlemen are now there laying the foundations for big ranches. Wheat is cultivated on the high tablelands of Central Mexico, but it is not as good as that grown in the States. Such products as coffee, vanilla, rubber, cocoanut and cocoa are all raised in certain sections and raised profitably. New York and Chicago.

It is a singular fact that the reign of every Queen in modern times has been attended by a wonderful advance in the material, political, literary and even military progress of her country. The reign of Catherine the Great of Russia witnessed the widest extension of the Russian Empire that had been known up to her time, and the greater part of the Russian conquests were accomplished during the time of the other Russian Empresses. The reign of Marla Theresa was a period of prosperity for Austria-Hungary, in spite of the Seven Years' War, while the reigns of Elizabeth and Anne in British history were ages of glory in letters, arts and war. Great Britain has never seen such an age as that of Victoria, and perhaps will not again for courtesures. The presence of a Queen on the throne as sovereign seems to inspire all the poetry and chivalry there is in the nature of man, and perhaps that fact furnishes an adequate explanation why countries flourish under female rulers.—Philadelphia Ledger.
