Published by The TRIBUNE PUBLISHING COMPANY. VOL. XVI. TROUBLE AT 'FRISCO Gigantic Strike Inaugurated By City Front Federation. SHIPPING TRAFFIC IS TIED UP Employers Ignore Union and Federation Takes Up the Fight, Which Premises to Be a Hot Contest. The labor troubles in San Francisco reached their culmination late Monday night when the City Front Federation ordered a general strike on the dock of San Francisco, Oakland, Mission Rock and Porta Costa to go into effect Tuesday morning. As a result marine traffic and labor along shore are almost at a standstill and Industries almost totally paralyzed. The City Front Federation comprises fourteen $ ^{7} $ unions and organizations, with a full membership of about 15,000. Three thousand of these men are employed at sea or in other cities and the strike order does not apply to them until they return to San Francisco. Twelve thousand men obeyed the order. The City Front Federation is composed of the following organizations: Sallors' Union of the Pacific, four local unions of 'longshoremen, marine firemen, Brotherhood of Teamsters, ship and steamboat joiners, porters, packers, warehousemen, ship clerks, pile drivers and bridge builders, holsting engineers, steam and hot water fitters and coal teamsters. It is claimed by the officers of all the organizations involved that the strike is not purely an expression of sympathy with the union of teamsters, or any other body of workers who are in dispute with their employers, but is the taking up of the gauntlet thrown down by the Employers' association. In other words, the City Front Federation is determined to defend the principles of unionism which the associated employers have announced their intention to crush out. Both sides seem determined to carry the fight on, and all efforts on the part of the mayor and others to bring about a settlement have proved unavailing. It is reported that several large wholesale houses will close until the strike is settled. Walter Goff, president of the Labor Council, in explaining the trouble said: Buchner, in explaining the private sale, "This is the greatest strike in the history of the state. Its effects will be far-reaching, and the city and state will suffer untold damages, but the responsibility for it is all with the employers. They have discharged men right and left for adhering to union principles, and in taking up the battle the affiliated trades are merely fighting for their rights. "We did not want this trouble and did what we could to avoid it, but the employers were obstinate and forced us to accept the issue. Now the strike is on us, we will fight it out. We will win, because our side is right. Our victory will mean the success of the union principles." AFTER CARTER BOODLE. First Step Taken to Recover a Part of Stolen Government Funds. The first step by the government looking to the recovery of a part of the $2,250,000 alleged to have been embezzled by Oberlin M. Carter,' was taken at New York Tuesday. Marion Erwin, of Georgia, special assistant attorney general of the United States, filed bills in the United States court of the southern district of New York and of the district of New Jersey against O. M. Carter and Lorenzo D. Carter, his uncle.' Under these bills a temporary receiver was appointed for properties in New York and New Jersey. Stanton Carter, brother of O. M. Carter, is also made a party to the bill. Preacher Compromises His Debts. Rev. Dr. R. A. Young, of Nashville, Tenn., has compromised with his creditors, paying them $6,600, or at the rate of thirty cents on the dollar. The petition in bankruptcy recently filed will be withdrawn. BITTER PILL FOR BOERS. Prisoners In St. Helena Flight Over Matter of Taking Oath of Allegiance. Matter of Taking Oath of Allegiance. Bad blood among the Boer prisoners in St. Helena over the question of taking the oath of allegiance to King Edward has led to so much fighting and disorder that it has been necessary to remove those who have taken the oath to a separate inclosure. There were several severe encounters, and the vigilance committed of the irreconcilables subjected those who had taken the oath to indescribable indignities. The ringleaders have been imprisoned in the fortress. GRANDFATHER CLAUSE GOES IN. Alabama Constitutional Convention Adopts Most Important Paragraph of Suffrage Article. There was a full house Tuesday when the Alabama constitutional convention came to vote on the grandfather clause. The galleries were packed and interest was eager as if the result were close and doubtful. Debate was shortened to the ten-minute rule so that as many of the belated orators might get an opportunity as possible. Even at that many were shut out and will have to deliver their speeches on amendments at a later stage. At 12:30 the fate of the grandfather clause was determined on a motion to table the minority report. There were 109 votes for the motion and 23 against it. There are some six or seven pairs, so that the full force of the opposition to the grandfather clause in the convention is about thirty. Of those voting against it, six were populists and republicans. To everyone's surprise, Ggegory L. Smith, of Mobile, who was one of the majority members of the committee, voted against the grandfather clause. He made a speech for the majority report and as a lawyer stoutly maintained the constitutionality of the clause in dispute. At that time, however, he declared his own belief that it was unnecessary to complete the scheme, and it is likely on that ground he voted with the minority after having spoken with the majority. The section as a whole providing for the qualification of voters under the temporary plan was adopted at the afternoon session by a vote of 104 to 14. Governor Oates tried to get in an amendment cutting out deserters from the old soldier clause, but it was tabled. Judge Robinson tried to postpone the operation of the educational qualification from 1903 to 1905, but this also was tabled. DROUGHT CAUSES FAMINE. Awful' Effect of Situation In West Being Felt In Big Cities. Though the drought has been broken, the awful effect of the agricultural situation is now being brought home to Chicago and to other cities as well. Prices of vegetables average double what they were a year ago, and to make both ends meet boarding house keepers and restaurants have been compelled either to raise their prices or curtail the quantity served. Potatoes which last summer sold from 30 to 40 cents per bushel are now advanced to $1.20 and $1.20. During the past few days beans have advanced 50 cents a bushel, owing to the demand from the drought-stricken districts. Even at this advance dealers are unable to fill all their orders. Prices quoted are wholesale. CARRIE REFUSES PARDON. Joint Smasher Spurns Clemency Offered By Governor Stanley. Mrs. Carrie Nation, in jail at Topeka, Kans., under thirty days' sentence and a fine of $100 and costs, amounting to $148, has refused to accept a pardon from Governor Stanley because the fine was not remitted. The commissioners offered to allow Mrs. Nation to pay it in monthly fees of $5. She says she will stay in jail forever before paying. SOLDIER ENACTS TRAGEDY. Just Returned From Philippines Canada Shoots Two Men. At Demorest, Ga., Tuesday evening, Stephen Canada, of the Fortieth United-States volunteers, recently returned from the Philippines, shot his brother in law, Stanley Ivie, slightly wounding him, and fatally wounding Ivie's brother, Emory, who was standing by. Canada fled through the woods with Ivie's gun, with which he did the shooting. A Corner In Potatoes. Drought has so diminished the supply of potatoes that one commission firm of Cincinnati Tuesday obtained control of the limited supply in the market and dictated prices, running them up to $3.25 and $3.50 per barrel for the better qualities. DROUGHT COMPLETELY BROKEN. Refreshing Showers Bring Relief to Suffering People of Western States The weaher bureau advises of Sunday from the great corn belt were the most encouraging that have come to hand for the past forty days, showing, in the opinion of the forecasters, that the great drought has been broken by a general visitation of showers in many portions of that section; and with a prospect of their continuation. Coincident with the fall of rain have come reduced temperatures. With few exceptions, the temperatures reported were not abnormally high. SAVANNAH. GA.. SATURDAY. AUGUST 3, 1901. BIG LOTTERY OPENS Uncle Sam's Big Fortune Wheels Begin to Revolve at El Reno. FIRST DAY ONE OE EXCITEMENT Thousands of Home Seekers Watch the Proceedings With Deep Interest, Hoping to Be the Lucky Ones. Oklahoma's great land lottery was begun at El Reno in earnest Monday, and when the commissioners appointed by the federal government adjourned, the drawing for the day 1,000 of the choicest of the 13,000 160-acre claims in the Klowa-Comanche country had been awarded. The first name drawn from the wheels was that of Stephen A. Holcomb, of Paul's Valley, L. T., for a homestead in the El Reno district, and the second Leonard Lamb, of Augusta, O. T. These two men selected the two choicest claims in this district. The capital prize winners, however, proved to be James R. Wood, of Weatherford, O. T., whose name was the first to come, from the Lawton district wheel, and Miss Mattle H. Beals, of Wichita, Kans., who drew the second number in that district. They will have the privilege of making the first allings in the Lawton district, and will doubtedly choose the two quarter sections adjoining that town. These are considered the most valuable in the territory and are, it was estimated, worth from $20,000 to $40,000 each. The day was one of keen excitement, replete with interesting scenes. It is estimated that fully 25,000 persons witnessed the drawing. The immense throng was wrought up to the highest pitch. The drawing of the first names was followed by a mighty shout that reverberated between the hills and must have been heard for miles over the prairies. Each succeeding winner for a time was met with shouts of applause and merriment. All was pleasantry. Every man, though he did not draw a prize from the wheels, had steakfast faith that the next day would surely see him the possessor of a slip reading him a title clear to 160 acres of Oklahoma's land. It has been found that many hundred applicants have "repeated" and that other applications are so illegible that they will be thrown out. Over this much discord has resulted, and the outcome may be an appeal to the courts. The drawing had been set for 9 o'clock, but the transferring of the bundles of envelopes holding the applications from the general receptacle into the wheels, which was by lot, was so slow that it was 10:50 o'clock before the first name was drawn. Must Get Married. When 25 names had been taken from the El Reno district wheel, attention was turned to that representing the Lawton district. The first name brought out for this district was that of John R. Woods, of Weatherford, Okla., and the crowd again went wild. This meant that Woods would be able to claim the section adjoining Lawton town, one of the choicest in the entire country. The second ticket was drawn and Cotonel Dyer cried out: "I have the pleasure to announce the name of the first woman to draw a prize, Mattie H. Beals, of Wichita, Kans." Then Colonel Dyer gave her description as 23 years old and 5 feet 3 inches in height, just the height of Woods. Instantly the crowd caught the humor of the situation and thousands of throats sent up the shout: "They must get married!" The eighth winner in the Lawton district was Minerva McClintock, aged 25 years, of Oklahoma City. She was married Sunday and by this act forfeited her right to file for claim. She might have chosen a claim near a county seat town worth several thousand dollars. The drawing was resumed Tuesday at 9 o'clock. A Washington special says: The department of justice received a telegram stating, that Judge Erwin, of the United States court in Oklahoma, had denied the application of Lone Wolf and other Indians for an injunction restraining the government from distributing land in that territory by drawings. ALLIANCE ORGAN SOLD. Progressive Farmer, Published at Ras Jehsh, N. G., Changes, Hands. Teigh, N. G., Changes Hands. The Progressive Farmer, published at Raleigh, the organ of the North Carolina State Farmers' Alliance, established by L. L. Polk, was sold Monday to J. W. Denmark, Polk's son in law, for $6,000. Denmark now and for some time has been business manager. HEAVY THRUSTS AT SAMPSON. War Correspondent Graham Roasts Admiral and Naval Clique Which Hoped to Ruln Schley. War Correspondent George Edward Graham, who represented the Associated Press on board the Brooklyn and stood beside Admiral Schley, replies to the criticisms made by Maclay. He says: "Maclay was either induced or ordered to assault Schley so fiercely that the latter would ask for a court of inquiry. Then the Sampson-Evans-Crowninshield-Chadwick crowd hoped to get such a board appointed as would make it apparent that Sampson, of 12-miles away fame, was responsible for the defeat of Cervera, although he ran away on the day that there was any indication of trouble. Maclay gives away two whole scheme when he says that Admiral Schley should ask for a court of inquiry. "If would seem as if there should be settled first the question of veracity raised by Maclay and the navy department. Maclay is quoted as saying that the department saw his proof sheets and approved them. The department says that is not true. Would Maclay mind telling if Chadwick did not revise them?—Chadwick, who only saw the battle from a distance of 12 miles. Chadwick, who has surreptitiously furnished the press antagonist to Schley w.1 material; or perhaps Evans, the only man who got in a conning tower and hid during the fight, might have seen them. Anyway, Clark, of the glorious Brooklyn, or Philip, of the Texas, all of whom were up to their necks in the fight, didn't revise them or assist in writing them. "If they are going to courtmartial somebody, why don't they get Sampson to say why he ran away the only morning when there was an indication of a fight? Why don't they ask him why he did not coal at sea off Santiago, but depleted his battle line daily by sending ships 50 miles away to coal? Ask him why he left the battle line with the fast cruiser New York to chase schooners so that he could get prize money. Ask him why he never said a word or signaled a word of praise to officers or men after the fight, although Schley asked him to do so. These are things worth courtmartialing any man for." THE MAINE IS REMEMBERED. Launching of Namesake of Unfortunate Battleship Draws Tremendous Crowd to Witness Event. The battleship Maine, designed to be bigger, stronger and faster than her namesake, whose shapeless mass still lies in the harbor of Havana, was successfully launched from the yards of the William Cramps Salp and Engine Building Company at Philadelphia Saturday. One of the largest crowds that has ever seen a warship take the waves at Cramps yards was on hand and patrol otism ran wild as the ship left her cradle. After the yard was thrown open to the public every vantage point in the confines of the place swarmed with humanity. The weather was beautiful. The presence of the immense crowd was largely due to the fact that the new ship bears the name of the ill-fated Maine. The state of Maine was officially represented by Governor Hill and members of his staff. Washington was represented by Rear Admirals Bradford, Melville and Walker, Lieutenant Commander Bailey, Captain Leary, former governor of Guam, and a number of bureau chiefs of the navy department. President McKinley, Secretary of the Navy Long, Admiral Dewey, Captain Sigshee and other naval dignitaries who received invitations, were unable to attend. The ceremony of christening the ship was performed by Miss Mary Preble Anderson, of Portland, Me., a descendant of the Freble family that added fame to the naval honors of the country. As the vessel slid off the ways a great shout went up and every steam craft in the vicinity began the tooting of whistles. LENIENCY EXTENDED CHINA. Three Years of Grace Given to Make First Payment on Indemnity Dispatches received at Washington by cable from Mr. Rockhill, the United States special commissioner at Pelkin, set out some of the details of the financial arrangement respecting the indemnity not heretofore disclosed. He reports that the interest on the indemnity began to run on the 1st of July of this year and the payments will become due semi-annually, the first to be met January 1st next. China will be allowed three years before making the first payment on account of the principal of the indemnity.

WANT INDIVIDUAL CONTRACTS Employees Muct Sign or Lose Their Jobs—Action Practically Bars All Union Organizations. The National Tube Works Company, at McKeesport, Pa., has made an unexpected move intended to checkmate the Amalgamated association. Their skilled workmen have been asked to sign individual contracts to practically repudiate any union organization, and they have been given but a short time to think the matter over. It is understood that should they not sign the contracts they will find their positions vacant. Thursday evening the 600 welders of the mill were paid off and taken into the office of the-general superintendent, where they were presented with individual contracts to be signed for at least a year. Some demurred, while others signed the contracts. This movement, fighting fire with fire, carried consternation into the ranks of the strikers. The welders are highly skilled workmen, and with their co-operation the big plant might be closed down. With them in line the plant will probably keep on running as though nothing had happened. It is intimated by friends of the welders that they would all sign the contract. Definite announcement that the officials of the American Steel Steel Company would start the W. DeWees Wood mill, in McKeesport, a non-union mill, on Monday, reached the headquarters of the Amalgamated association early Friday morning. The movement will not be permitted to be made without a decided attempt to check it. While the rank and file of the strikers are not aquainted with the plans of the campaign, they now believe that important developments will change the aspect of affairs considerably. There is apparently less of the confidence that was noted in the first part of the week, but there was a lot of determination expressed by those who would talk. BILLION MARK EXCEEDED. Detailed Figures of Our Foreign Commerce Given to the Public. A Washington dispatch says: The detailed figures of the foreign commerce of the United States in the year ended June 30, 1901, were completed by the treasury bureau of statistics Friday. They show total imports of $822,673,016; total exports, $1,487,755,557; exports of domestic products, $1,460,453,809. TILLMAN RESPONSIBLE. Coerced Committee In Passage of Resolution Condemning McLaurin. A Columbia, S. C., special says: Senator Tillman is unquestionably responsible for the passage of the resolution condemning McLaurin. The executive committee was divided, numbers being uncertain as to the power of the committee to call on the senator for his resignation. When Tillman took the floor the waveers came over. PORTO RICANS JUBILANT. Establishment of Free Trade Hailed With Greatest Satisfaction. The announcement of the declaration of free trade between Porto Rico and the United States, which was cabled to the island o. Porto Rico Thursday, was received there with many evidences of popular approval, according to a telegram from Secretary Hunt, which was received Friday by the state department. Capitalists Buy Timber Lands. Agents representing capitalists of Williamsport, Pa., have just closed a deal at Marlon, Va., for 17,000 acres of timber land in Smyth and Grayson counties. The price paid was $103,000. CRISIS IMMINENT AT TAMPA. Strike Situation In Florida Reaches a Grave Stage. The strike situation at Tampa, Fla. is alarming. Beneath the surface are workings which fosebeds trouble should some act kindle the spark. The removal of certain anarchistic leaders from the city has been publicly advocated. Labor in the city now is more innamed than it has ever been before and it is probable that an act of this kind would bring about a conflict. The manufacturers are taking matters as coolly as possible. --- NO.43. JUDGE ACQUITTED FOSBURGM Directs That Thorough Work Be Done By Court of Inquiry In Schley Case. At the opening of court Friday at Pittsfield, Mass., in the Fosburgh trial Judge Stevens instructed the jury to bring in a verdict of "not guilty," and this was done, ending the trial. The jurymen did not leave their seats. The verdict was recorded with shouts of applause, which the court immediately suppressed. The demonstration, however, was one of the most remarkable that has ever occurred in a court of justice. Judge Stevens, in ordering a verdict of acquittal, said: "Mr. Foreman and Gentlemen: During six days we have listened to a prayerful recital of one of the saddest tragedies ever presented to a jury. A beautiful girl just budding into womanhood was shot down and her brother has been accused of the crime. The government has endeavored to prove the girl was not shot by, burglars; it has endeavored to exclude all other members of the family from the affair, and, third, to prove that the shot was fired by her brother, Robert S. Fosburgh. The trial has proceeded somewhat in the form of an inquest and has been tried with great pain on the part of the government and defense. There has been a desire to obtain proof and so a great deal of evidence has been introduced and admitted without objection which might have been excluded under the strict rule of the law. I think I ought also to say to you that it is due to the chief of police, who has stood behind this prosecution, that in the view of the court he has tried to do his duty with a single eye to ascertain the truth. Now, Mr. Foreman and gentlemen, a motion has been made that this case be taken from the jury, and it becomes my duty to say to you that in the opinion of the court-this government has not furnished proof sufficient to sustain a verdict or guilty against the defendant, and therefore, under the direction of the court, in the indictment of Robert S. Fosburgh, for killing his sister, you will return a verdict of not guilty." The crowd in the courtroom, which included hundreds of friends of the defendant, broke into loud applause, which the court immediately quelled by sternly raising his finger and commanding the sheriff to see that the demonstration was not repeated. LONG COMPILES THE PRECEPT. Orders Verdict of Not Guilty In Case of Young Man Charged With Sororcide. A Washington special says: The precept to the Schley court of inquiry, which the navy department has been preparing for several days, was given to the public Friday afternoon. It is a document addressed to Admiral Dewey, as president of the court, instructing him concerning matters to be investigated. While it directs that the "entire matter" of Admiral Schley's conduct during the operations in West Indian waters shall be investigated, making use of the very words employed by Admiral Scaley in his letter to Secretary Long, it also selects certain distinctive acts of the rear admiral concerning the facts and propriety of which it calls for particular investigation. These points were very brief. Admiral Schley's alleged delay with the squadron at Clenfuegos, the slowness of his progress toward Santiago, after leaving Clenfuegos, the retrograde movement toward Key West, the effectiveness of the bomhardment of the Spanish fleet at the ranges used in the reconnaissance of May 31st, the state of the coal supply on varioils ships when he telegraphed the department that he would return to Key West, the loop of the Brooklyn at Santiago, the accuracy of his reports, and matters relating to the controversy between him and Commander Hodgson over the alleged colloquia which is said to have taken place aboard the Brooklyn when the loop was made during the naval engagement off Santiago. With the exception of the last two counts the others practically sum up the criticisms of Admiral-Schley's conduct made by Secretary Long to the senate, which the secretary characterized as Schley's "reprehensible conduct." One of the important points in the precept is the direction to the court to report in its conclusions, "all the pertinent facts which it may deem to be established, together-with its opinion and recommendations in the premises." The annual preliminary report of Commissioner of Internal Revenue Yerkes for the fiscal year ended June 30, 1901, shows that receipts from all sources of internal revenue for the year aggregated 2006, 2007, 2008, PUBLISHED EVERY SATURDAY, BY THE TRIBUNE PUBLISHING CO 116 W.

THE state dalies are suggesting the establishment of a school to train young white girls for domestic work. THE Maryland Democrats are still worried about the Negro. This question was agitated in their convention on Thursday. It has been truly asserted that "economy is one of the most essential elements of success, yet most wretched disregarded" THE tax collector of Floyd county is short $34,089.14 of the county and state funds. Of course his entire race will not be charged with it. LAST Saturday night near Little Rock, Ark., two white men were killed while endeavoring to force their way in a colored man's house. Comments unnecessary. As a populist, Tillman was elected governor of South Carolina and afterwards to the United States senate. He is now claiming that McLaurin is not a Democrat. BECAUSE certain ones of the police force has a badge pinned on them and a club in their hands, they think that they "run" the city, that is by the manner in which they treat colored prisoners. It is appalling to note the large per cent of colored persons convicted for criminal acts. There is one redeeming feature about it and that is but few of them are among the intelligent class. COL. J. H. ESTILL, of this city has been prominently spoken of as a candidate for governor. The nomination should come to this section and no one is more deserving than the Morning News man. IN Alabama any foreigner who intimates that he will become a citizen of this country, can become a voter, although he owes no allegiance to it, yet natural born colored citizens who have not certain qualifications are debarred. We thank God that all of the white citizens of the south are not like those in Washington, Ga., who refused to rent a colored man a place of business because he happened to be more prosperous than many of the white business men. WITHIN the last month the Tuskegee Normal and Industrial Institute at Tuskegee, Ala., has received $40,000 towards its endowment fund from two donors, one living in Boston and the other in New York, who do not permit their names to be made known. RECENTLY two Italians were lynched in Mississippi. The Italian government will make a demand for an indemnity and punishment of the lynchers. How the federal government can get at the punishment of the criminals is the question. This lynching business will yet involve this country in a serious manner. THE TRIBUNE regrets to announce that Prof. Nathan B. Young will sever his connection with the Georgia State Industrial School; yet we are glad to chronicle his unanimous election as president of the State School of Florida, located at the capital of that state, Tallahassee. Prof. Young has been notified of his election and has gone to look over his field. For the past several years Prof. Young has been connected with the Industrial College here and has made numerous friends. He is a thorough educator; he knows the work and enters into it loyally. In his class work he is paints-taking, considerate and firm and has won the confidence and respect of every student that has been under him. He has a sunny disposition and a knack to make friends with every one with whom he comes in contact, and such a friendship that generally lasts. Individually Prof. Young has done a great deal toward popularizing the Industrial College. Through his energetic action a large number of our girls were induced to attend the college, and all of them have naught but the kindest words of commendation for him. In this work he has been helped considerably by Mrs. Young, whose affability, and kind manner easily attract all who come in contact with her. The citizens of large are loath to give them up, yet they appreciate the honor that has been thrust upon them and exclaimed. The press dispatches on Thursday morning contained an article from Washington, Wilkes County, that would put to blush the heathen in the jungles. The articles say: "There was considerable excitement among the business men of Washington yesterday when it became known that one of the largest and most desirable stores in the city had been rented to Toombs McLendon a well-to-do Negro. Nearly all the merchants of the city called on Mr Branch the proprietor, and informed him that for the Negro to occupy one of the most desirable stores in the business center of the city would be very objectionable and such a thing would not be tolerated. Mr. Branch acceded to the wishes of the merchants and said he would release McLendon from the contract. "The Negro was then informed that he would find if much pleasanter to remain where he was and not try to push himself into places where the white people belong. "This is the second attempt made by McLendon to place himself on business equality with the white merchants of the c ty, and he will doubtless keep quiet now as feeling is very strong against him. McLendon has been very prosperous for a Negro, and until a few years ago was highly thought of. He will have to learn sooner or later to keep within the sphere allotted to his race or trouble will ensue. The Negroes of Washington as a whole, show no desire to push themselves in forbidden places. The affair is the sensation of the town and much excitement has been stirred up." This article is sufficient to make every person who is a lover of fairness to become full of resentment. The claim has been made that the whites in this section are the best friends of the Negroes. To individuals this assertion is true, but wholly, it is untrue as the above article fully proves it. It is not necessary to comment a length on the article, it explains itself, and also shows that another issue is being raised. Heretofore there has been loud protestation against social equality, now it is being dropped for business equality. INTIMIDATION nor prejudice can stop the Negro's progress. Twenty-one states were represented at the last session of the National Negro Business League which was organized at Boston lasz summer. The second annual session will be held at Chicago August 21, 22, 23. The local committee in charge of arrangements has matters well in hand and has arranged for a splendid hall and for the proper entertainment of guests. The league will be in session for three days and will be tendered a bauquet on the evening of the last day by the local citizens and an excursion to Milwaukee by lake steamer, Saturday, August 24th. It is now quite evident this organization will prove a live factor in the promotion of race progress. It is primarily designed to urge our people, men and women, to engage in business pursuits. Any person engaged in any commercial enterprise or properly delegated to represent any individual or individuals engaged in any business enterprises is entitled to membership and is especially urged to be present. Reduced rates of one and one-third fare have been secured from all points for this meeting. Special reduced rates may be secured from some sections on account of the Pan American exposition. Further information regarding the league can be had by addressing the President, Booker T. Washington at Tuskegee, Alabama. An Interesting Session. The second annual session of the Berean Baptist Association met at the Grace Baptist church, Darien, Ga., on Thursday of last week. The session opened with a large attendance of delegates. The introductory sermon was preached by Rev. W. H. Anderson. On Thursday afternoon the organization was effected by the unanimous re-election of all of the former officers as follows: President, Rev. W. L. P. Weston, Savannah. Vice-President, Rev. J. J. Durham D. D., Savannah. Secretary, Rev. Samuel Beauford, Waycross. Treasurer, Rev. R. H. Thomas, College. Thursday night the doctrinal sermon was delivered by Rev. G. W. Harrison and was said to be an instructive discourse. Friday the day was devoted to the regular routine of business which was disposed of in a systematic manner. At night the educational sermon was masterly delivered by Rev. M. J. Maddox, assisted by Rev. R. H Thomas. This service is adjudged one of the best of the entire session, at the close of which one person professed faith in God. Saturday the business was resumed, and at night an ordination service was held, the following candidates being ordained: Messrs, Eady, Daniel Mills, R. G. Carter. The ordination prayer was offered by Rev W. L. P. Weston; presentation of Bible, Rev. H. L. Haywood. On Sabbath morning Sunday school mass meeting was held, led by Rev. Thomas, Dea. W. R. Fields and Rev. R. G. Carter; at the close of which the missionary sermon was preached by Rev. M. Burke. In the afternoon at 3:30 the business part of the session was resumed and finished up. The Executive Board met and was organized with Rev. Alexander Harris, chairman and Rev. Beanford secretary. The association adjourned to meet at the First A. B. church, Waycross Ga., Rev. S. Beauford, pastor. Whife this is only the second session of this association, it is one of the grandeest religious organizations in the state, having at its head men who are able in every sense of the word to carry it on to success. MASONIC COLUMN. Plain dealing should distinguish every mason. Office seeking is not one of the masonic creeds. Harmony of action with wise legislation will add much to the craft. The greed for office should not cause the other interest of the craft to lag. Masonic patriotism should prevail and every brother's duty ought to be loyally performed. Let every lodge get ready to send up to the grand lodge a glorious report financially and otherwise. Lodges in arrears must not wait any longer in forwarding dues to the grand secretary at Savannah. Past Master W. R. Robinson of Cairo spent a couple of days in the city this week. Bro. Robinson is one of our staunchest friends, and is a mason that we are proud of. It is expected that the coming Grand Lodge Communication will be well attended. The brethren are coming up with the intention of legislating for the best interest of the craft. There are several reforms that should be inaugurated which will tend to the benefit of the craft. Past Master Geo. F. Thomas, of St. Matthews Lodge at Hawkinsville, writes that his lodge has received official notice about the Grand Master's death, and that the lodge room has been properly draped also other badges of mourning are being worn. Resolutions of condolence were extended the bereaved family. Worshipful Master J. E. Davis says, "My lodge has forwarded $28.50 for the W. and O.

EDITOR OF TRIBUNE: I thought that I would write a little news from the quiet, little town Hawkinsville, as I suppose that you seldom ever be anything from our section of the county. Rev. S. M. Cook has furnished his new edifice and worshipped in it for the first time on the first Sunday in July. He started his protracted meeting at the same time, which has just closed after a successful, revival meeting. Thirty-five souls were baptized, which was a great addition to the church after its recent Cook is doing a great work in Hawkinsville. Big meetings and big crowds is the order of the day throughout the county just now. It is getting to be very dangerous for good people to visit these big meetings just now. There is almost always jug or two of buss heal hid in the bushes, and the average youngster from 15 years old and up is full to the brim, and the average caretaker is careful to speak to him or the suspicious will come into play. Oh God, give us a remedy to successfully lead our people. Dr. R. Cary, Dr. C. McCarthy, Mr. Dock Wilson and Mr. Paul Duval of Macon visited Hawkinsville last week. While here they took a trip in the country to the home George F. Thomas, who took them one day to the beach and a quiet fry which was enjoyed by the party was made of Mr. and Mrs. N. M. Maloy, Mr. and Mrs. Floyd Hill, Mr. and Mrs. Charles Austin, Mr. Mark Messrs. William and Allen Hill, E. P. Thompson, Mrs. E. W. Sherman of Savannah and daughter Lyle Alberta, and Mr. and Mrs. F. Thomas. We had a most delightful time. The next day Mr. Thomas took the Macon party, to Big Indian, where they had an old fashion fish catching, and Thomas licked the crowd. Dr. McCarthy was so badly beaten that the last we saw swamp. The party cooked and ate fish until our full souls could hold no more. Mrs. E. W. Sherman and little Alberta are stopping in the county with the family of Mr. George F. Thomas, Misses Corene, Mary and Master Adrian Hawkins, Macon are stopping in the county with the family of Mrs. also, and will spend a month with him. Mrs. E. W. Sherman, little Alberta, and Mrs. Geo. F. Thomas contemplate taking a trip to Montezuma next week and while there visit Mr. and Mrs. A. L. Felton, Mr. and Mrs. S. S. Humbert and Mr. and Mrs. H. H. Engram. Geo. F. THOMAS TO THE MEMORY OF M. W. G. P., W. E. Terry. Since it has pleased the God of all to take from our midst one of the brightest and best, we bow our heads in humble submission and say: While our hearts are bleeding o'er the spoils that death has won. We would at this solemn meeting calmly say, "Thy will be done." By Thy hand the boon was given, Thou hast taken but Thy own, Though the days were filled with mourning, And thou were throned, Thou diths sire and Thy taker The thou give and Thou hast taken, Blessed Lord 'Thy will be done.' The we committee of Lydia Chapter No 4, O. E. S. having been appointed to draft resolutions after having heard of the death of our Most Worshipful Grand Patron, beg permission to submit the following: That death the king of terror has been summoned to visit us, and our M. W. G. P. Hon. W. E Terry was found its victim. Resolved, that we cherish a kind remembrance of our M. W. G. P., and let us gather from his virtues, examples and new incentives and try to make the O. E. S. and our own lives better, remembering the garden in which he planted the O. E. S., was full of choicest fruits, but he was not allowed to enjoy them. Since death is the portion of every one, we should engrave the thought in legible characters on the tablets of our hearts and lift up our voices in saying: Thou art gone to the grave but we will not deplore thee. Though darkness and danger encompass the tomb. Thou Savior has passed through its portals before thee; And unto him of his love is thy guilde through the gloom. Resolved further that a copy of the above be sent to THE SAVANNAR TRIBUNE for publication, also a copy be sent to the loved ones. Respectfully submitted, sister Angie Guyton, W. M., sister Ellen J. Graham, A. M., sister Frances Bacon, sister Minnie Whitehead, sister Alberta Guyton, Sec'y. A dear one from our realms is gone To join the realms above, Add to the realms above. Must live as he has lived. He saw within the evening NICHOLS has SHOES to "Burn," but he does not burn them—he sells them. o——No 8 BROUGHTON STREET, WEST. CENTRAL • RAILWAY • OF • GEOGRIA.

A i viet Ses i e « * SECRET CONFERENCE] CREAT! OF NEWS | sovrenn rroaness, cue Tng ‘peewee Neus Indietries Honarbed In the enon, |, Lewyers: often Of Steel’ Magaates aud_-Strike ” Leaders;Held In New-York. DIFFERENCES FULLY DISCUSSED Proceedings Are Not Made Public. Opinion Prevaits That Trouble 5 ‘Will Soon Be Satisfactorily 7 - ‘Adjusted. ‘The formal negotiations for & set- tlement of the great steel strike were opened in New York Saturday at a conference between President Shaffer and Secretary Williams, of the Amal- gameted association, and J. Pierpont Morgan and a group of his associates, of the United States Steel Corporation. ‘The conference and the movements of the conferces were secret, and no intimation of the result of the delibera- tions has come from any one in author ity. It is believed, however, that sub- stantial progress toward an agreement was madé and that formal annopnce- ment of the compact for peace will come within a few days. There has been much speculatioa -as to the terms of peace, but much of it has been pure conjecture. It’ was said that the strike would be called off and that there would be a resump- tion of the negotiations of general Ia- bor questions at the point where they ‘were broken off at the Pittsburg con- ference. In financial circles, however, the opinion was general! that the pros- pective agreement would .go further than that and in Itself dispose of se- rious questions at issue. ‘The conference resulted from sev- eral days of preliminary discussion, all of which was kept secret. A rep- resentative of the Amalgamated asso- ciation was in the city on Friday and was given a lengthy Interview by an official of one of the companies form- ing the United States Steel Corpora- tion. The conference of Saturday is believed to have been practically ar- ranged at that time. Shaffer and Wil- Mams slipped quietly out of Pittsburg and were in New York several hours before a hint of their presence reach- ed the public. Mr. Morgan and Presi dent Schwab, of the United States Steel Corporation, met first at the of- fice of the former and were closeted for some time. The meeting with the Isbor leaders followed. The names of those who ‘participated in the meet- ing, aside from the leaders on either side and the place at which the con: ferees met were kept from te public. Mr. Morgan was seen after the meet- ing, but would say nothing beyond de nying that he had any appointment with President Shaffer, of the Amalga- mated association. President Schwab, of the United States Steel Corporation, also was seen, but as he declined to make any statement whatever, he would neither admit nor deny that there had been a conference. It is sald that the basis of the svttle- ment of the stecl strike is a compro- mise, concessions being’made by both sides. RUSSIA ACCEPTS PROPOSAL. Czar’s Action Puts An End to Trou- bles In Chinese Emoplre. ~ Russla has accepted on trial the modified proposaliof fngland concern- ing the method of payment of the Chi- nese indemnity, so that at the next meeting of the representatives of the powers at Pekin, a perfect agreement can be reached, says the St. Peters- burg correspondent of The New York Herald. ‘This is the most important piece of news since the commencement of the troubles, because it means that a set- tlement has been reached, enabling and, indeed, compelling, the powers immediately to withdraw their troops in keeping with their promises, thus removing the chief obstacle to the re- tum of the Chinese court to the capl- tal. Advice From Negro Ministers. Negro ministers at Birmingham, Ala., have issued circulars advising members of their race against going north and east to take the places of striking workmen. REVERSES HIGH COURT. Federal Judge In Mississippi Decides Contrary to State Supreme Tribunal.

He reverses the etate supreme court and holds that contracts with the New South Bullding and Loan Association of New Orleans are not usurious. The decision effects seventy other suits. The state supreme court held that contracts of this company -were usur- fous and absolved the borrowers from paying any more. =?
