Published by The TRIBUNE PUBLISHING COMPANY CHINESE SLAY FRAIL WOMEN American Missionaries Are Subjected to Revolting Treatment. NAMES OF VICTIMS KEPT SECRET English and American Residents of Shanghai Demand That City of Pekin Be Destroyed. Copyright Associated Press dispatches announcing that the American government refuses to agree to the withdrawal of the troops from Pekin before satisfaction for the outrages upon and the losses of its subjects is given have been received in Shanghai and are applauded by the entire foreign colony in Shanghai. Any other policy, according to the business men and missionaries with whom the Associated Press representative has talked will be a fatal blow to the prestige of the foreigners and would weaken their status in China. The local English papers fiercely denounce the proposals to evacuate Pekin and say that the Chinese interpret evacuation as defeat. The masses of Chinamen now believe that the Chinese arms are victorious. The Chinese papers printed in Shanghai contain long, circumstantial accounts of alleged Chinese victories at Tien Tsin and Lung Chao Sj and the shops and native quarter display for sale lurid photographs of the celestial army driving the European soldiers into the sea at Taku and tearing them to pieces at Tien Tsin. They also show pictures of the foreign admirals being tortured in the presence of the viceroys. Vice Admiral Seymour is represented, with his arms pinioned kneeling before the throne. The people accept these reports and pictures as correctly representing the facts and anything contrary was merely foreign life. The European community continues to demand the destruction of Pekin and the exemplary punishment of the officials, and deeming indemnity and paper promises of new treaties inadequate. Undoubtedly the massacre of foreigners recently received inflames this sentiment. The dowser empress is living in the Yamen at Tai Yunu Fu, in Shau Si province. Fifty missionaries have been slaughtered in that yamen under orders, practically in the presence of the viceroy. Three were beheaded in the inner court and others were killed barbarously in the yards. The bodies were thrown to the dogs. The Associated Press representatives learn from official sources the fact of the killing of several American women missionaries. At the request of the mission board the details were withheld out of regard for the feelings of the relatives of the murdered women; but her prominent Americans who have long antagonized the policy of sending women to isolated inland posts, think it important that the facts should be known. The names of the victims are withheld by request. Two of these women were captured while attempting to leave the stations where they were located, were led about the country naked, repeatedly outraged and finally killed by a method too revolting to be described. Two other American women were coming to the coast with a party which a number of Chinamen followed and stoned. The women fell exhausted and were taken by the Chinamen into the presence of the local officials. They were prostrated upon the execution block and a feint was made of her being beheaded. One of them became hysterical and laughed, and, thinking her insane, the Chinese escorted their to the coast because of their superstition regarding the insane. On the journey, however, the woman was repeatedly criminally assaulted by her escort. The other woman being exhibited naked for some days suffering assault by several men and was tortured to death by the rama shameful methods as were practiced in other cases. Two Swedish missionary women arrived at Shanghai after similar experiences, except that their lives were spared. The fourteen English missionaries, including six women and four children who were murdered at Chu Chau, in the province of Chu Kiang, according to the story of the Spanish priest who escaped, were killed with hay forks and ancient spears by the magistrate's body guard, and their naked bodies were hanged from trees. The incidents make a lenient policy unpopular in Shanghai where all the victims had friends. Placards posted in public places exhorting foreigners to oppose a compromise with the government. SAVANNAH. GA.. SATURDAY. SEPTEMBER 8. 1900. RAPIST DIES LEGALLY Sam Robinson Pays Penalty of His Crime at Marietta, Ga. Large Crowd Was On Hand But No Disorder Occurred—Prisoner Confessed His Crime on the Gallows. Sam Robinson paid the penalty of his crime on the gallows at Marietta, Ga., Saturday in plain view of about fifteen hundred people. The country people began gathering in town early in the day and by 10 o'clock some two thousand were in town. The streets were crowded, but not a sign of violence was manifested. It was a quiet and orderly crowd of people, all anxious to see the hanging. The train from Atlanta stopped at Confederate cemetery crossing and the prisoner was taken off there. Sixty armed guards met the train and escorted the prisoner and party to the place of execution. The sheriffs and prisoner arrived without incident, Robinson smoking a cigar as they rode from the train, a distance of about a half mile, to the gallows. He seemed in fairly good spirits and conversed with those about him. On arriving at the gallows a great crowd of people was found there waiting. The gallows was inclosed by a board fence sixteen feet high, and only guards, officers, newspaper men and two colored preachers—Revs. G. A. Parish and D. B. Bond—were allowed inside, except a fev who had orders from Judge Gober. Mr. and Mrs. Inzer were on the grounds and had an order to allow them to see the hanging, but they did not go inside the inclosure, but remained on the hill some distance away. At 10:30 o'clock the door was closed to all outside except those mentioned. Rev. Parish read a passage of scripture and talked very sympathetically and earnestly with Robinson, taking him by the hand and asking him if he realized how soon he was to meet his God, and if he was prepared to meet death, to which he replied he was. Rev. D. B. Bond then offered a very fervent and earnest prayer, closing by saying the jury did right in convicting him and the judge in sentencing him. Robinson was then asked if he wished to say anything and he said he did, but before he rose to make his statement the crowd pushed down one side of the inclosure, exposing the whole thing to view, so that the great crowd who had gathered on that side could see everything that transpired. Robinson faced the crowd and walked steadily to the end of the gallows and made his statement, speaking in a loud, clear voice. He said: "Let me tell you all, friends, my colored friends and white, never commit the crime that I have. If I had not committed it, this time I might some other. Teach your children never to commit this crime. I am guilty. I committed the crime and don't dey it. I am going before my God and that is all I have to say." He then stood where he had made his statement and the black cap was placed over his head and rope around his neck. The trigger was pulled at 10:44 o'clock. The drop was five feet broke Robinson's neck. He shrugged his shoulders afew times and all was soon over. Robinson's father, Derry Robinson, from Anderson, S. C., then came forwarded and asked if he might have the body. He was told that he could. The old man took the corpse's head in his arms and wept. He said Sam was twenty-four years old and was married, leaving a wife and two children. Sam left home, he said, in May without telling where he was going, as he had often done before. The old man did not have money enough to pay the express to Anderson, but a contribution was made up for him that enabled him to leave Saturday evening with his boy. The crowd that witnessed the hanging was orderly throughout and everything was done in a decent manner. After the wall was torn down, so they could see, the crowd made no attempt to come nearer the gallows and was easily kept back by the guards at a safe distance. VOTE BUYERS KNOCKED OUT. Jury Commissioners of Lee County, Ga., Take Summary Action. There has been considerable comment in Lee county, Ga., upon the recent action of the board of jury commissioners, by which many names, among whom are the names of many prominent citizens of the county, are stricken from the list of qualified jurors of the county. The commissioners are very reticent regarding their action, but the fact has become known that the principal reasons for such summary action was that these parties, or a majority of them, had engaged in the nefarious practice of buying and selling votes. Unity of Allies Will Be Decided By Russo-American Proposal. London Papers Raise a Howl While Germany Seems Not at All Pleased. A London special of Friday says: In the absence of further news from China the papers are again filled with discussions of the Russo-American proposals which, so far as may be gathered from the representations of opinions in the various European capitals, are calculated to subject the unity of allies to an exceedingly severe and dangerous test. In Germany especially, these proposals are no diametrically opposed to Emperor William's policy that they have produced something like consternation. As the London Daily News editorially remarks, "Count von Waldserse was assuredly not sent to assist in restoring the empress dowager." It is recognized on all sides that Germany's decision is the prov of the matter. Emperor William intended by dispatching Count von Waldserse to;have the master hand in the Chinese settlement. Russia has taken the wind out of that officer's sails, and is now posing as the friend and protector of China. The morning papers express the greatest suspicion of the intention of Russia. The London Times' editorial fairly represents the opinion of all, saving: "The advantages of Russia's policy are not manifest, and it is very doubtful whether it will recommend itself to powers like England and Germany that have large commercial interests in the establishment of a stable and progressive government to replace the reactionary clique which has impeded all progress and development in China in recent years. "Negotiation with Li Hung Chang would be a condemnation of government crimes and the throwing away of all the advantages gained by the occupation of Pekin. "Much misobief may already have been done by the hesitation to enter the forbidden city. To withdraw from Pekin would be interpreted as proving not only that the allies are cowards, but that they are hopelessly divided. It may be that some of the powers will withdraw, but that does not imply that others are bound to leave Pekin and to acquiesce in the restoration of a government guilty of a gross international crime." "Diplomacy sometimes makes strange bedfellows. It is curious to find the mighty autocracy of the old world and the great republic of the new world gently coaxing the other powers along the paths of pace. Nothing could be better than the spirit of these documents, and it is interesting to find two such powers anxious to determine the controversy in an unselfish spirit." , "The Daily Mail says: "Russia has forced the hand of the United States against the better judgment of the latter. At the same time the United States government has induced such valid reasons why Russia's policy is a bad one that it will hardly be expected that other powers will con- The Daily Chronicle thinks the "open door" will prove the rift in the loot which now sounds such harmony between the United States and Russia. The Daily Telegraph remarks: "The Russian proposals are among the most extraordinary coups attempted of recent years, even by Russia. The upshot will probably be the acceptance of Li Hung Chang to negotiate some kind of a compromise with the empress dowager." Vienna specials show that the Russo-American proposals have caused extreme annoyance there. "Germany's attitude toward the Chinese crisis," says a dispatch to The Times from Tokio, dated August 29, is causing much perplexity in Japan. The Chinese authorities at Amoy having guaranteed the security of life and property, the Japanese marines will now withdraw." Will Bring His Daughter Home. President H. B. Ledyard, of the Michigan Centralrailroad, hasreceived a cablegram from his daughter, the widow of Baron von Ketteler, the German ambassador to China, who was murdered in 'Pekin, asking him to come for her. Mr. Ledyard will start for Yokohama September 12th.' The Southern railroad has given $1,000 to the building fund of the Young Men's Christian Association of Macon, Ga. The generous gift was made at the request of Third Vice President Gannon of the Southern. SAW UNIONS MARCH Bryan and Roosevelt at Labor Day Celebration In Chicago. Democratic Nominee Addresses Great Throng In the Afternoon Following the Republican Candidate. Organized labor of Chicago passed in review before Colonel William J. Bryan and Colonel Theodore Roosevelt Monday. Hour after hour the labor unions marched down Michigan avenue past the Auditorium hotel, on the loggia of which stood the Democratic nominee for president and the Republican vice presidential candidate, together with Charles A. Towne, Senator W. E. Mason and a dozen other political leaders. Both Bryan and Roosevelt were heartily greeted by the men as they marched by the hotel. When the last man of the long line of marchers had awoken around Michigan avenue into Jackson boulevard, Colonel Bryan and Colonel Roosevelt went inside the hotel, where, soon after, they sat down to a luncheon giver by labor representatives. It was a "flag of truce" luncheon, for the trades union men had declared that in the celebration of Labor Day there was to be no politics. While the parade was moving a host of people, mostly the families of working men, gathered in Electric park, where the speeches of the day were delivered. The programme of speeches was as follows: From 2 to 3 p. m.—Governor Roosevelt, Charles A. Towne, Samuel Alschuler, Derricorate candidate for governor of Illinois; Richard Yates, the Republican gubernatorial nominee; William E. Mason, Mayor Rose of Milwaukee; Mayor Harrison of Chicago, R. M. Patterson and P. J. O'Donnel, to speak in the order given. At 4 p. m.—Colonel Bryan. Colonel Roosevelt left late in the afternoon and Colonel Bryan at night. The latter went to Cumberland, Md., to open the campaign in that state Tuesday. HESTER'S COTTON FIGURES. Secretary-Hester's New Orleans cotton exchange annual report was issued in full Monday. He puts the cotton crop of 1899-1900 at 9,436,416 bales, a decrease of 1,838,424 under 1898-99. Of this, he says that Texas, including Indian Territory, shows a falling off of 961,000, the group of other gulf states, consisting of Louisiana, Arkansas, Mississippi, Tennessee, Oklahoma, Utah and Kansas, 400,000, and the Atlantic states, consisting of Alabama, Georgia, Florida, North Carolina, South Carolinas, Kentucky and Virginia, 475,000. He places the average commercial value of the crop at 38.55 dollars per bale against 25.08 dollars last year, 28.62 dollars year before last and 36.76 dollars in 1896-97, and the total value of the crop $363,785,000 against $382,773,000 last year and $322,553,000 the year before. He calls attention to the fact that the money value of the crop just marketed is $81,012,000 over the 1896-99 crop, which was 1,838,000 bales. He puts the total spiades in the south at 6,207,163, and increase over last year of 1,315,071. These include 1,415,497 new, not complete. The net gain in the number of southern mills over last year has been 113, making the total now 663. OUTBREAK IN BOHOL. Filipinos Rebel On An Island In Southern Part of Archipelago. The war department Monday received the following from General MacArthur: "MANILA, September 3.—Adjutant General, Washington: General Hughes reports outbreak on Bohol. First Lieutenant Lowack, Forty-fourth volunteer infantry, reports engagement near Carmen, Bohol. Our losses in killed, one; wounded, six. Enemy's loss in killed, 120. Have not received further details. MacArthur." Bohol is an island in the southern part of the archipelago, 365 miles from Manila. NOW HOLDS SECOND PLACE. The Steamer St. Paul Makes Quick Run Across the Briny. The steamer St. Paul arrived at New York Friday night from Southampton and Cherbourg after a quick passage of six days seven hours and six minutes. This time is the best made by the St. Paul between New York and Cherbourg and beats the best time of each of the big fleet of ocean grey- hounds with the one exception of the present record holder, the Kaiser Wilhelm der Grossse, whose time is five days seventeen hours and thirty- seven minutes. The St. Paul now holds second place in the westward record. Subscription: $1.25 Per Annum; 750 for Six Months, 500 for Three Months; Single Copies 5n. In Advance. IS NOW FOR BRYAN Bishop H. M. Turner Is Anxious to Give Nebraskan a Trial. Other Prominent Colored Prelates Also Declare Their Intention to Follow Suit—The Bishop's Views. The Chicago Daily News in a recent issue contained the following: 'Bishop Henry M. Turner, of Atlanta, head of the African A. M. E. church, and idolized leader of the colored race since the death of Frederick Donglass, has decided to come out for Bryan. He will be attended in his conversion to Democracy, it is further announced, by Bishops Derrick and Grant of the same church. This statement was made by the Rev. J. A. Whitman, a colored minister of Atlanta, Ga., and the personal representative of Bishop Turner. Just before the departure of ex-Governor Stone, of Missouri, to the east, the bishop sent the vice chairman of the Democratic national committee a telegram saying that the Atlanta minister had full authority to speak for him. "Anti-imperialism is said to be the mainspring that has governed Bishop Turner's action in leaving the Republican party in which he has grown old. Bishops Grant and Derrick are influenced more by their resentment of the way in which they assert the administration has treated the colored troops. They also blame McKinley for what they call his "napathy" concerning lynchings in the south and his alleged failure to keep a promise they say he made them to appoint a colored man on the labor commission. The decision of Bishops Turner, Grant and Derrick partakes of the startling, coming as it does immediately after the failure of the Afro-American council in the national convention at Indianapolis to take sides with either party. It is also significant in view of the statement of Vice-Chairman Henry B. Payne, of the Republican national committee, that the ding of the colored vote between the Democrats and the Republicans this year will mean the breaking up of the solid south, which has only been hold together for the last dozen years by its antipathy to the colored voters and the additional fact that practically all colored men in the country have been Republicans. "Chairman Jones, of the Democratic national committee, is known to be a great admirer of Bishop Turner, and to have wide respect for his opinions, and Bishop Turner's friends are already asserting that the work of corraling the colored vote for the Democratic ticket will be intrusted to the hands of the Georgia bishop. Thus far in the campaign the colored Democrats have been in charge of J. Milton Turner, of St. Louis. "There are now three distinct factions of colored Democrats. One is headed by Bishop Turner. The second is led by J. Milton Turner, who has gathered around him Frederick L. McGhee, of Minneapolis; William A. Crosstwaite, of Nashville; J. A. Sweeney, William Miller and A. E. Manning of Indianapolis, and Harvey A. Thompson and A. T. Watkins, of Chicago. The third is under the leadership of George E.Taylor of Oskaloosa, Iowa, who is president of the Negro National Democratic League. The support of the national Democratic committee, it is thought, will install Bishop Turner as the chief of all the factions." Bishop Turner has modified the above statement somewhat, as regards himself, by saying that politics has no bearing upon the question whatever; that he is disgusted with McKinley and is in favor of giving Bryan a trial. He deprecates the "apathy" of the present administration toward his immigration scheme, which, as his friends well know, is nearest his heart, and feels that probably the Democrats will show more consideration for his efforts on that line. The bishop further states that he is neither Republican or Democrat, in the common acceptance of these terms, but, if anything, he is a decided Prohibitionist; that his sole interest lies in the upbuilding, advancement and welfare of his race. OTIS SUCCEEDS WHEELER. Retirement of Alabamian Will Cause Promotion of General Chaffee. A Washington special says: General Otis has been selected to fill the post of commanding officer of the department of the lakes made vacant by the retirement of General Joe Wheeler, General Chaffee will be made a brigadier general on General Wheeler's retirement. Germany Adheres to First Plan. Semi-ficially it is reaffirmed in Berlin that Germany now, as heretofore, adheres to the programme mapped out in the circular of July 8d and then approved by all the powers. NO 48. Confusing Messages Received Fram China Cause Disgust- Orders are Issued That the Practice of Omitting Date Lines Must Be Stopped Henceforth. A dispatch from Minister Conger was received by the state department Monday. It was chiefly interesting from being the first word from him since his dispatch of about August 27th, referring to the proposed parade of troops through the imperial palace in Pekin. Like that dispatch, this was dateless as to Pekin. The contents were not made public, but it was stated that it contained nothing materially changing the situation. The lack of date led to a determination to take energetic steps by which all dispatches coming to the state department from China will have the date clearly stated. Two other dispatches received Monday from China referred to the state of health of the troops, which generally is satisfactory. It cannot be learned that there has been any marked advancement of the negotiations between the powers touching the withdrawal of the international forces from Pekin. The plain indication is that the powers are acting upon the hint conveyed in the last note of the state department and are bringing all their influence to bear upon Russia to induce her to change her mind as to withdrawing her troops. For some reason the Washington authorities appear to feel a growing confidence that this effort will be successful. It is noted as a fact of great significance that the proposition is being advanced to have Prince Ching return to Pekin as the acting head of the Chinese government. The suggestion is made that the progress of this wave of reorganization while the international troops are still in Pekin, promising, as it does, to speedily provide an actual de facto Chinese government which the nations may treat without further doubt as to its strength, may solve the present problem and put the Chinese question in a fair way to final and satisfactory settlement. Much may depend upon the attitude of Russia in this matter, and the manner in which she treat this appeal from the Chinese notables may prove to be a test of the sincerity of her expressed desire to deal with the Chinese government as soon as possible. Dr. Hill, the first assistant secretary of state, returned to Washington Monday and assumed the duties of acting head of the state department, relieving Mr. Adee, who has performed these duties during the perplexing diplomatic exchanges of recent date. Soon after arriving, he went to the white house and spent a half hour with the president, going over the present status of the Chinese negotiations. GROWTH OF THE SOUTH.

General MacArthur chronicles two recent daffas among his officers in the Philippines in cablegrams received at the war department Monday: The messages announced that Captain H. Bentley, Forty-seventh volunteer infantry, died on the morning of August 26th, from a wound received in action near Camagal on August 21st. The second dispatch states that Second Lieutenant Roy L. Fernald, of the Twenty-sixth volunteer infantry, was accidentally drowned in the Jalari rivers, near Pototan, Panay, on Sept. 1st. PUBLISHED EVERY SATURDAY BY THE TRIBUNE PUBLISHING CO. REGISTERED AS RECORD-CLASS MATTER AT THE SAVANNAK POST OPTION. Official Organ of the Masonic Gran Lodge of the State of Georgia. SATURDAY SEPTEMBER 8, 1900. FOR PRESIDENT, WILLIAM McKINLEY, of Ohio. FOR VICE-PRESIDENT, THEODORE ROOSEVELT, Every republican voter is urged to go and register for the coming electi- tion. The democrats can get but cold comfort out of the election in Vermont this week, because the very large republican majority at the last election was cut down. From a recent report it seems that the consolidation of the A. M. E. Zion and the C. M. E. churches is assured. This consolidation will add much to the cause of religion and be of untold benefit to our people. THE Republicans of the First Congressional District will meet next Wednesday for the purpose of nominating a candidate for Congress. It is necessary for a real strong man to be nominated, one who will add strength to the party and cause harmony within its ranks. From present outlooks such a man will be the nominee. The Southern papers are gloating considerably over the recent riotous outbreaks in the North, but there is little comfort to be obtained therefrom. The rioting part is to be deplored, but the vigorous manner in which the rioters are dealt with by the courts of justice, is to be commended. The courts seem not to be winking at the law when it effects any prominent person in this case; all are treated alike. Let this same vigorous feeling for the enforcement of law and order invade the entire country, and especially this section, and riotous outbreaks will not be of such frequent occurrence. FROM newspaper accounts, Bishop Turner of the A. M. E. church has changed into a rabid democrat and will annihilate the republicans by the number of democratic speeches that he will make during the present campaign. We have been unable to see the Bishop's reason for the change, but from his love for "Jim Crow" street cars, we can expect mostly anything from him. No Negro with any amount of principle or manhood can conscientiously support the Democratic party. That party is the author of "Jim Crow" car laws; it is the principle of the party to disfranchise the Negro, as it has already done in many states under its control; it gives but little protection to Negro citizens, as in North Carolina, and the recent occurrences in democratic New York City. Hundreds of other acts can be cited, but the above is sufficient to keep any Negro from voting a democratic ticket. If the democratic policemen of New York City had done their duty in the incipiency of the troubles of a few weeks ago, the present bad feeling would not be existing between the races, no not the races, but from reports, the lower elements of the whites. This element feeling that it has the quasi endorsement of the police, who themselves have been charged with clubbing innocent Negroes, has continued the riotous feeling. Such a thing could never happen in Savannah, not because the Negroes would be more aggressive, or lawless, but that the policemen are more loyal to their duty and would adopt every reasonable method to quell a riot. The officers of the various courts where these offenders were tried are to be commended, for placing the blame where it justly belongs, and for scoring the police officers and citizens for interfering with innocent citizens. The colored citizens of New York are also to be commended for immediately organizing and in their endeavors to seek redress. R. AND H. D. MEETING. Pithy Pointers of a Plant System City, Waycross, Ga., Sept. 2, 1900. The meeting of the Relief and Hospital Department of the Plant System took place here to day at the Reidsville academy.-At 12:30 o'clock Prof. Snelson, the president, suggested the appointment of a committee of fifteen to inspect the hospital and report back to the body its findings. The committee was appointed as follows: R. V. Sutton, W J Pinckney, R C Ellison, J Burroughs, W J McIntyre, M Goodson, Wm Austin, S J Stewart, B M Gardner, Aaron Jefferson, W B Boykins, Thomas Christopher. C M Moseley, W H Harris, J R Hall. D W Bullock, and W S-Goodson. The committee repaired to the hospital accompanied by president Snelson, and was shown through the building, after which they returned to the academy. While the committee was formulating its report editor G. M. Noble of the Southern Voice, Montgomery, Ala., Mr. W. I. Lewis of the Jacksonville Daily Metropolis, and the representative of THE TRIBUNE, were introduced and made remarks relative to the journals mentioned. The meeting proper was then begun by the reading of the call and prayer by Rev WH Style8. President Snelson made his annual address which was instructive to all. The welcome address was delivered by Col. E. W. Brinkins in a very happy manner, and was responded to by Prof. W. I. Lewis of Jacksonville, in a most logical, laughable, and entertaining way, and was enthusiastically applauded. The roll call of officers showed a full attendance, with the exception of one or two, which in itself proves the interest taken in the meeting. Following are the officers for the ensuing term: Floyd Snelson, president; H W Thomas, general secretary; W H Styles, assistant to the president; J Burroughs, treasurer, Brunswick; vice-presidents. W J Pinckney, Savannah; J A Griffith, Brunswick; W D Bullock, Waycross; W S Goodson, Montgomery; J W McCall, High Springs; B M Gardner, Sanford: H Montgomery, High Springs; J R Hall, Port Tampa; A W Mitchell, Thomasville. Remarks laudatory of the Plant System hospitals were made, after which the inspection committee reported favorably on the condition of the general hospital. The report was received and referred to the committee on general resolutions. After considerable discussion over various matters the committee on general resolutions made an elaborate report on general matters, which on motion, was adopted. After voting to send a copy of the resolutions to the general officers of the system, the meeting adjourned. WAYCROSS WAFTINGS. The people of Waycross, the magic city, are a clever set and among them are some very well-to-do people, owning beautiful homes in desirable localities. Mr. S. M. Scarlett the assistant post-master, owns a fine home in which he lives, and besides have several houses rented, which nets him a handsome monthly income. His services in the post-office are well nigh invaluable and especially so since post-master McNeil's forced absence from the office on account of the delicacy of his health. Mr. K. G. Scarlett, while having suffered some reverses, among which was the burning of his beautiful home last year, yet has considerable left and is still accumulating. We were sorry to find him confined to bed with a fever. One of the prettiest residences in the city is owned by Mr. G. H. Bowen. He was, until injured last fall in a railroad wreck, a postal clerk, and he has a knack for knowing how to get a dollar and save it. He was out of town when we called to see him, and we hear he is suing the railroad for $15,000 damages for the injuries sustained in the wreck last fall. It is said he is injured for life. Rev. J. M. Milton and his father too, own considerable property here. Rev. Milton was the owner of the Gazette which was burned out here recently. For pluck and push, and dash and daring. Rev. Milton has few equals. We were glad to have the pleasure of dining with him and his good madam on Monday, and also appreciate the courtesies extended us by him while here. Mr. J. M. Ponder, another trusted employee of the post-office, is one of the coming men. He has a neat residence which is the envy and admiration of many. One of the most intelligent young men it was our pleasure to meet was Mr. Will Brown who works in the railroad shops, who was once an applicant for the post-mastership here, so we learn. So far as we can learn Waycross is the only town in the State where a colored man owns a first class drug store, building and ground. The owner is Dr. G. P. Washington, one of the best physicians who owns a sheepskin. He also owns a beautiful residence. One of the most ardent admirer's of THE TRIBUNE is Mr. Wm. Funches, in fact, he is a race man all the way through, and we wish we had more men with hearts like his. Prof. Floyd Snelson is the arbiter and great medium which keeps the two races close together here. He is always busy and covers more ground than any two men we know. He is highly prized and honored by the PlantSystem people and stands high in their estimation. He and the madam honored us with an invitation to dinner on Sunday and made it pleasant for us as usual. Messrs. D. L. Welsch Isaac Gaines. Z J. Bryant, O. D. Newton, G. W. Washington, and George Ivey, are among the friends of THE TRIBUNE who are employed by the Plant System here. They are reliable, honest and upright and they believe in doing things on the level and by the square. Mr. H. D. Jordan is the practical shoe maker here and he gets the work. Mr. G. O. Clark runs a first class grocery store on Hazzard Hill, and being a man of fine business parts he is doing well. Should any of our friends stop in Waycross at any time and want a first class meal we would recommend them to Mrs. S. Nicholson as the best cook in town in the business. She keeps everything in apple-pie order and if you cannot be suited at her restaurant no one can please you. We ran across Mrs. R. H. Singleton down here singing in the choir of Gaines' chapel just as if she were at home. We were glad to shake hands with our old friend, E. H. Monroe, of Quitman who is here on a visit. Mr. Baker, the veteran printer is still here and looks better than ever we saw him. It is our hope to visit Waycross again in the near future and give it a more extensive write-up. Until then adieu.

Said report must be sent with amount to the Chairman of the Committee on Finance and Returas, Brc. W. H. Spencer, at Columbus, Ga, no later than 15 days before the Grand lodge convenes. Dont fail to do this as it will enable the committee to report early, thus saving a day's session. Because a lodge has not received a blank return, must be no excuse for not making the report on time. W. M's. must pay particular attention to this. 5th.

The stately and handsome building which the colored Masonic Grand Lodge of Georgia is erecting in Ameri- ces is rapidly nearing completion. The site of the building, out north Jackson street, is a commanding one, and when finished the building can be seen from any part of the city. It is designed as a loire for widows and orphans of members of the colored Masonic order, while an industrial school for the children will be established as well. Brickmasons are now employed upon the third story, and the building will be completed and made ready for occupancy in the course of a few weeks. It will cost probably $20,000, and in future all annual meetings of the Colored Masonic Grand Lodge of Georgia will be held in its assembly hall.—American Recorder. Electra Chapter No. 1 O. E. S., held a real interesting meeting on Monday night. The Chapter will meet again on the 27th, instant, at which time a candidate will be initiated, and final arrangements made for the meeting of the Grand Chapter in Americus. St Stephen's Kindergarten and Primary School This excellent institution, under the supervision of the Rev. Richard Bright, who is aably assisted by two teachers will begin its eighth term on Monday, Oct. 1st. In the Kindergarten Department children are received between the ages of four and six. The uninitiated and inexperienced regard this best of educational institutions as "a waste of time" or "child's play". To a certain extent the Kindergarten is "play", but that kind of "play" which lays a thorough foundation in the mind of the child and makes him, in reality, "a bright boy". Some of us take umbrella when others say that they are "superior" to us: surely that man who has exceptional opportunities for self-culture, and is wise enough to take advantage of them must be "superior" to him who does not. St. Stephen's Kindergarten is really one of the very few in the entire South for Colored children. The citizens of Savannah ought to be proud of the unusual privileges afforded them for giving their children the proper start in their education, and show their appreciation by sending them to it. The tuition is cheap enough, either 10 cents a week or 50 cents a month; both in advance. The well regulated kindergarten for white children charge from five dollars a month up. St. Stephen's rates are low because our people for the most part receive low wages. Four of the first white kindergarten teachers of the city visited it last term, and expressed themselves as highly pleased. The proprietors of factories in a New York town, declare that after 1915, they will employ nobody who has not had the benefit of a kindergarten training. Read what the recent Hampton Conference and Prof. Butler of Columbia University, one of the leading lights of the National Teachers' Association say of the Kindergarten. The former says: "We regard the establishment of a kindergarten as the necessary part of our American Public School System. It is the logical basis of all true education and especially meets our greatest educational need at present. We endorse every effort to bring about this result and most heartily recommend that such kindergarten, be established by churches and by private benevolence for the benefit of the humber class of the people." The latter: "The kindergarten in the hand's of those who have mastered its spirit and its purpose is the most powerful single educational agency yet devised. In America where the kindergarten is most thoroughly studied and most wisely conducted, it has brought life and light to tens of thousands of children, who, without it, would have grown through their tenderest years in neglect, or would have been turned over, helpless and appalled to the old fashioned formalism of the elementary school." Butler. In the Primary Department pupils are received to the Third Grade including The school rooms are well ventilated, well heated, and are bright and cheery; everything is at hand to make the pupils comfortable and happy. Once a week—after school hours—the girls are taught sewing (without extra charge) and other useful accomplishments which all girls ought to know. Our aim is thoroughness—mental, physical, and moral, consequently our pupils lead wherever they go. All applicants must, in conformity with the State law, give satisfactory evidence of successful vaccination; it is a safeguard for the children and their parents. Parents who are really in earnest about the education of their children—not those who shift them from school to school, for "A rolling stone gathers no moss"—ought to apply at once to the REV. RICHARD BRIGHT, 313 East Harris Street—Ady. The Guards Disbanded On Saturday night last, Co. D'left the city for Columbia, S. C. The company was met by the Capital City Guards, Capt J. R. Nowell commanding, and given a royal time. Everything passed of smoothly until Monday afternoon when the companies were on parade and some white men recklessly drove through the ranks of the Guards twice. The last time they were pursued by a few of the men of the Guards who unfortunately encountered some other citizens and had an altercation. The action of the white men were severely condemned by all classes The Capital City Guards was the best drilled and disciplined company in the state service, and its commander and officers hard to excel. On account of this enviable reputation, much feeling has been engendered against the company. Coupled with the occurrence of Monday,the Governor immediately disbanded the company. The Savannah friends of the Capital City Guards regrets this very much. The bond between that command and the commands here has been of the strongest kind. The hope is expressed that the governor in the near future will rescind his recent order. Hon. A. Wilson, who has served several terms in the legislature as the representative from Camden county, was in the city this week. He was recently honored by the republicans of his county with a nomination for the legislature and with harmony in the republican ranks he seems a sure winner. We congratulate the old veteran and wish him great success.

E TION TEXT OF PROPOSAL TEXT OF PROPOSAL As Suggested to United States By the Russian Government. OPPOSITION FROM SOME QUARTERS. Other Powers Have Been Asked to Consider the Matter Fully and Make a Well Threaty The state department has made public the text of the Russian proposal and its response as follows: Telegraphic instructions sent to the representatives of the United States in Berlin, Vienna, Paris, London, Rome, Tokio and St. Petersburg. Department of state, Washington, August 29, 1900. The Russian charge yesterday made to me an oral respecting Russia's purposes in China, to the following effect: "That as already repeatedly declared Russia has no designs of territorial acquisition in China; that equally with other powers now operating there, Russia has sought safety of legations at Pekin and to help the Chinese government to repress the troubles that, incidentally to necessary defensive measures on Russian border, Russia has occupied Newchwang for military purposes and as soon as order is re-established will retire troops therefrom if action of other powers be no obstacle thereto; that the purpose for which the various governments have co-operated for relief of legations in Pekin has been accomplished; that, taking the position that, as the Chinese government has left Pekin, there is no need for her representative to remain, Russia has directed Russian minister to retire with his official personnel from China; that the Russian troops will likewise be withdrawn; and that when the government of China shall regain the reins of government and afford an authority with which the other powers can deal, and will express desire to enter in negotiations, the Russian government will also name its representative. Holding these views and purposes, Russia expresses hope that the United States will share the same opinion." ANSWER OF UNITED STATES. To this declaration our reply has been made by the following memorandum: "The government of the United States receives with much satisfaction the reiterated statement that Russia has no designs of territorial acquisition on China and that equally with the other powers now operating in China, Russia has sought the safety of her legation in Pekin and to help the Chinese government to repress the existing troubles. The same purpose will control the government of the United States and frank declarations of Russia in this regard are in accord with those made to the United States by the other powers. All the powers, therefore, having disclaimed any purpose to acquire any part of China, and now that adherence thereto has been renewed since relief has reached Pekin, it ought not to be difficult by concurrent action through negotiations to reach an amicable settlement with China by which the treaty rights of all the powers will be secured for the future, the open door assured, the interests and property of foreign citizens conserved and full repatriation made for wrongs and injuries suffered by them. As a result of these considerations unless there is such a general expression by the powers in favor of continued occupation as to modify the views of Russia and lead to a general agreement for continued occupation, we shall give instructions to the commander of the American forces in China to withdraw our troops from Pekin after due conference with other commanders as to the time and manner of withdrawal. "So far as we are advised the greater part of China is at peace and earnestly desires to protect the life and property of all foreigners, and in several of the provinces active and skillful efforts to suppress the Boxers have been taken by the viceroys, to whom we have extended encouragement through our consuls and naval officers. The present good relation should be promoted for the peace of China. "The government of the United States is much gratified by the assurance given by Russia that the occupation of New Chwang is for military purposes incidental to the military steps for the security of the Russian border provinces menaced by the Chinese, and that as soon as order has been established Russia will retire her troops from those places if the action of the other powers be not an obstacle thereto. "No obstacle in this regard can arise through any action of the United States, whose policy is fixed and has been repeatedly proclaimed. (Signed) "ALVEY ADEE, "Acting Secretary." SEEMS SURE OF ADOPTION. Announced That American-Kissian Proposal Will Be Accepted By Powers. The Associated Press at London has official authority for announcing that the American-Bussian proposal in favor of the withdrawal of the allied forces from Pekin, with the view of facilitating negotiations for the conclusion of peace, has not only met with considerable favor at European chancellories, but is almost certain to be adopted.

We make no immoderate claims for them, and we confidently expect them to do what we say they will do. Ayer's Hair Vigor will make hair grow. Miss Moore, who is the postmaster at Welchburg, Ky., put this letter in her mail the other day: "Last summer my hair was thin and short and was falling out profusely. I then began using Ayer's Hair Vigor, and two bottles of it gave me beautiful and glossy hair. My hair is now over a yard long, and my friends all wonder what has made it so thick and heavy." Now that the secret's out we suppose her friends will stop wondering. Port Arthzr as a Military Stronghold. If anything were lacking in the topography of Port Arthur, China, and its environs to render it an admirable military stronghold, the deficiency would be more than supplied by the character of its water approaches. The town is situated on a bay connected by a narrow strip of land with the Peninsula proper. From seaward the port is reached by a winding channel not more than 300 yards across in its widest part and narrowing to less than 200 in some portions. This channel runs northward from the open sea for three-quarters of a mile, and for nearly the entire distance is enladen by a fort carrying a heavy battery, which is located on a carving point on the western shore. This fort was erected originally by the Chinese, and by them was named the "Tiger's Tall." Since it passed into the hands of the Russians, it has been strengthened enormously, and another fort on the opposite bank has been reconstructed and fortified so as to command the passage. In the face of the destructive fire that could be poured from these forts it would be impossible for any naval vessel attempting to enter the channel to live for more than a few moments, even if she escaped annihilation by the mines and torpedoes at the entrance.

Then They Felt Sad. It was the Scottish express, and as it was not due to stop for another six hours the other nine occupants of the smoker began to get nervous. The tenth passenger, who was sitting in the window corner with a cap pulled over his face, groaned again. The kind-hearted old gentleman Snoozing opposite unscrewed a flask of cold tea and passed it to his afflicted neighbor. He drank long and eagerly. "Do you feel better?" asked the giver. "I do," said he who had groaned. "Yes; what made you groan so?" "Groan! Great Scott, man, I was singing!" Then a great silence fell on that third-class smoker.—London Answers.

Mrs. Wood being in Atlanta constantly, watches carefully the special bargains offered from day to day, thus giving her patrons every possible advantage of low prices without extra cost to them. She does not cater to any one store, but treats them all alike, the quality of their goods and their prices being their only recommendations to her. She gets the benefit of trade prices, from which source alone she secures her income. She purchases anything. Mail orders addressed to her will receive her personal and careful attention. Pigeon Took a Cool Dip. The other evening a tame pigeon was observed hovering over the Thames, nearly in midstream. Presently it dropped its legs and allighted on the surface, as if it were dry land. Then, spreading its wings on the water, it put its head and neck completely under water for some seconds, after the manner of a duck, when, apparently satisfied with its refreshers, it rose and joined its companions in the air. The bird evidently knew what it was doing, but for the moment it looked like a case of deliberate suicide.—London Globe.

San Rafael dispatches report that a peculiar looking resident of the briny deep was found by an employee of the lighthouse at Point Reyes, and no more fitting name can be given it than to call it a sea serpent. The monster was found stranded on the beach near the lighthouse, where it had been tossed by heavy waves. It was seven feet in length and twenty-five inches in circumference in the thickest part of the body. The head was somewhat like that of an alligator, and two horns sixteen inches in length stuck out from the head. It has strong jaws, large teeth, no fins and is pale green in color. The man finding it killed it with stones, and will preserve the body as a curiosity.-San Francisco Post. Puffs under the eyes; red nose; pimple-blotched, greasy face don't mean hard drinking always as much as it shows that there is BILE IN THE BLOOD. It is true, drinking and over-eating overloads the stomach, but failure to assist nature in regularly disposing of the partially digested lumps of food that are dumped into the bowels and allowed to rot there, is what causes all the trouble. CASCARETS will help nature help you, and will keep the system from filling with poisons, will clean out the sores that tell of the system's rottenness.
