RACE RIOT Mob Attacks Negro Many Assaults o ORGIE OF BLOODSHED Negroes Chased and Killed Promiscuously on the Streets—Mob Ruled Four Hours—Military Called Out. A race riot occurred in Atlanta Saturday night and it was one of the most terrible since the days of reconstruction. The causes that led up to it were the recent criminal assaults made by negroes on defenseless white women. For months past there has been on an average of one woman assaulted a week. The climax came Saturday afternoon when it was reported that there were four white women who had been attacked at their homes by negroes. The news given in extras by the afternoon papers inflamed the people beyond endurance. The rioting started at 9 o'clock at the corner of Pryor and Decatur streets. Thousands of white men, with their passions inflamed, gathered in the business center of the city, and for four hours mobs chased negroes, stoned and shot them to death, and boarded trolley cars, snatching off negroes and beat them to death with clubs and sticks. The fire department was called out in the midst of the terrible excitement by order of the mayor, and by streams of water tried to disperse the mobs. This had a good effect only for a few minutes, for the mobs quickly reorganized, and on other streets began to shoot and stone negroes. Rushes were made upon the hardware stores for pistols, but these were closed, and the supply of ammunition was not increased. The saloons were closed, and in fact every place of business had closed doors long before the usual hour. At one time a number of trolley cars had to be rushed out of the city with dead and dying negroes and policemen upon them. All the while the air was filled with cries of "Kill them!" "Shoot them!" Lynch them!" "Down with the negroes who attack and assault our women!" A number of men paraded the streets holding aloft extra editions of the afternoon papers whereon were large type lines displaying assaults negroes had made on white women. In some streets the air was filled with the reports of pistols, and the shouts of enraged men who seemed more like wild beasts than human beings. The scenes on the incoming trolley cars were the most fearful of all. No sooner would a trolley car reach the center of the city than it would be eagerly scanned for negroes, and if one was seen on the car it was immediately boarded and a rush made for the blacks. Property was destroyed by the mob in the ilemollishing of a Greek's stand and the smashing of a large number of plate glass windows on several of the business streets. The saloon of Campbell & Poole, on Broad street, and the store of the Pearson Hardware Company, at Walker and Peters streets, were broken open and the stocks demolished. All the state troops available in the city were called out and the city placed partially under martial law until order was restored. The police force was placed in the winchesters of the Americans Occupy bia. es and sailors day night for a Unit department were in use. Many policemen paraded the streets armed with riffles. Every negro, no matter what his employment, quickly sought cover and got out of sight. Even the cabs were deserted on the streets. Finding no more victims in sight the mobs quieted down. Although there have been several reports as to the dead, the only authentic news that could be obtained was a list of six dead negroes, four of which were taken to the undertaking establishment of L. L. Lee, 36 South Broad street, Sunday morning. It was stated on reliable information that some bodies had been slipped out of the city for burial. There were several cases of firing into street cars late in the night, supposedly by negroes who were hidden from view. Window glasses were broken by shots, but no one was hit. Over forty men and boys were arrested and held at police barracks for inciting to riot. In Control of State Troops. Sunday, the city was in practical control of the state troops, though not under martial law. The nine Atlanta companies, seven off the Fifth regiment, the Governor's Horse Guard and the Governor's Light Artillery, who were out all day, were supplemented in the afternoon by the arrival of four outside companies and still four more reached the city Sunday night. With these seventeen companies there were 600 state troops patrolling the streets and outskirts of Atlanta. These troops were scattered all over the city Sunday night under orders from Governor Terrell, and every street was patrolled, particularly about the outskirts of the city. All day long crowds of people thronged the streets, watching with curiosity the movement of the soldiers and eager to learn anything new that might have occurred. Only a few stray negroes were to be seen on the streets, and these were such as had not caught onto the situation or wanted to show their bravado. On the trolley cars not a negro was to be seen all day. They did not seem to think that the trolley cars were healthy places for them, and if they went out, they preferred to walk. Saturday night what seemed authentic reports placed the number of negroes killed in the city at sixteen. Sunday the list of dead was only six. This discrepancy could not be accounted for until the police were notified that bodies of dead negroes had been taken from the city. Causes of the Outbreak. There were four separate attempts at assault in Atlanta and vicinity Saturday. The first happened about 2 o'clock in the afternoon at the home of Mrs. W. H. Chaffin near the Soldiers' Home. The second attempt was at 7 o'clock at the home of Mrs. Frank Arnold, 127 Julian street. The third was at the residence of Henry Lancaster, on his step daughter, Miss Alma Allen, 182 Davis street, about 9:30 o'clock. The fourth was an attack on Mrs. Mattle Holcombe at 275 Magnolia street. In all these cases only one negro was arrested as a suspect. MACHINISTS MAKE DEMANDS. Asks Southern For Ralse in Wages, and Strike Is Probable. Two hundred and fifty machinists, employed at the Southern Railway shops in Atlanta, and perhaps 2,000 on the system are making a demand for increase in the wage scale from $3 a day to $3.25. A general strike on the system is probable. If the demand for increase in wages is not granted. LAND OFFICE ANNUAL REPORT. Receipts of Last Fiscal Year Show Marked Increase. According to a computation made at the general land office at Washington, the total receipts of the office for the fiscal year ending June 30, 1906, ALL LICENSES REVOKED Atlanta Saloons Are Put Out of Business Temperarily and Strict Prohibition is in Effect. By a unanimous vote the city council of Atlanta. Wednesday, revoked the license of every saloon in Atlanta until the first of October, and until that time the city is practically under prohibition. This action was taken on a report from the police committee, which had been requested to investigate the saloons and ascertain what places could be classed as dives and unfit to engage in the liquor trade. The committee, after striking out fifty-seven saloons, decided that such arbitrary action might be unjust to many saloon men, and when a conference was held with the citizen's committee of ten, it was decided to recommend to council the revoking of all saloon licenses for the purpose of weeding out the dives. A fight was made by representatives of the whiskey dealers, while citizens spoke in the interest of the report of the police committee. The debate became at times very animated, and on several occasions the audience indulged in applause, which was kept up until the mayor pro tem called upon the city marshal to put a stop to it. Citizens and members of council put the saloon men on notice that they had better, submit to the action proposed, or they would preclude in prohibition election within thirty days. On October, 2 there will be an open meeting of the police committee, when all persons desiring saloon licenses will have to appear and show that they will run decent saloons. All applicants must publish three times in a tally paper their intention to make such applications. All the new licenses granted will expire next June. Mayor Woodward made a talk against the report of the police committee, saving that he did not believe in such a drastic measure. In the meantime all saloons will be shut tight, they having been closed by executive order at the time the rioting first began in the city. STORM REACHES PLORIDA. Blow from Tronics Headed North and Northeastward. A Washington special says: The big storm which has been headed this way from the tropics reached the Florida coast Wednesday night and raged with high winds on the west side of the peninsula. Around Pensacola it blew forty-eight miles an hour, and storm warnings are displayed all along the golf coasts from Tampa to Port Eads, and on the Atlantic coast from Jupiter, Tla., up to Norfolk. According to the weather officials, during the next twenty-four hours, the storm is expected to move north-northeastward, and high winds are scheduled for the south Atlantic and middle gulf coasts. HUGHES NAMED FOR GOVERNOR. New York Republicans Nominate Man Who Jolted Insurance Grafters. Charles E. Hughes was nominated for governor by the republicans of New York Wednesday in convention, at Saratoga. The nomination was greeted with tremendous enthusiasm. A telegram from Mr. Hughes was read accepting the nomination without "pledge other than to do my duty according to my conscience." Mr. Hughes came into prominence during the insurance investigation. PRICE CASE DROPPED. In view of a dispatch received by the postoffice department at Washington Wednesday from the postmaster at Atlanta that J. L. Price, the negro in charge of the South Atlatna station, who was arrested charged with supplying ammunition to the blacks, had been released, no further action is contemplated in his case. Arnold Confessed to Complicity in Plot to Abduct Lincoln. Samuel Bland Arnold, who confessed that he was a party to the conspiracy to abduct President Lincoln, which culminated in the assassination of the president by John Wilkes Booth, dled in Baltimore Friday. He was 72 years of age. Arnold, with three others, was sentenced in July, 1865, to life imprisonment at the Dry Tortugas. All four were pardoned by President Johnson in 1869. HEARST IS NAMED For Governor of New York at Democratic Convention. William Randolph Hearst, alternately enologized and vituperated in scathing terms on the floor of the New York democratic state convention at Buffalo, was early Thursday morning nominated for governor on the first ballot, after an all night session. The nomination came after a day spent in fruitless attempts by his opponents and even some of his unpledged supporters to find a stronger candidate The Hearst men, however, captured the organization and put their man in, despite the fact of William Travers Jerom's threats to take the stump against him and despite the fact that Mr. Hearst was more bitterly insulted on the floor than any other successful candidate in the history of New York politics. The full ticket named is as follows: For Governor—William Randolph Hearst. For Lieutenant Governor—Lewis F. Chandler. For Secretary of State—John Wahlen. Following is an abstract of the platform adopted by the convention: "At this time when the authority of democracy is invoked to defend plunder of the masses by a few rich men, through partial laws on one hand, and on the other to justify the extravagant and revolutionary proposals which, if adopted, must inevitably produce worse disasters than the abuses they seek to cure, we deem it endlessly fitting to declare that the whole democratic principle is embraced in the injunction laid on the first mandate that in the sweat of their brow he and all his posterity must eat their bread." "We denounce republican high protection which enables a few to plunder the whole body of their fellow citizens, by charging extortionate prices for the necessaries of life and the essentials of industry. "We deplore, as the most sinister consequences of the corruption and graft which degrade our political and industrial life, the widespread distrust and fulscredit of republican government which they have produced and which have led many men of undoubted probity and ardent patriotism to listen patiently, if not approvingly, to proposals distinctly socialistic, which, if adopted, must inevitably wreck the foundation of republican government and endanger the entire fabric of Christian civilization. "We hold that the cure for these abuses is not in socialism, which by enormously extending the power of government must aggravate, but in democracy which by excluding government from any interference whatever with private industry, must cure them. In common with the democrats of all the states and expressing the sentiment of the high-minded citizenship of the republic without reference to party, we view with pride and satisfaction the hospitality and acclaim which have been accorded, at home and abroad, to that great democratic leader and typical American, William Jennings Bryan, to whom the democrats of New York extend most cordial and sincere felicitations. "Where the law not only permits, but empowers, great trusts to exact for their products from the people of this country prices vastly exceeding those asked in foreign countries and this power to plunder our citizens is treated as the property of certain private corporations, openly capitalized for billions of dollars, the vast volume of tribute drawn from the masses of the community is the least pernicious of its results. The wide emulation in plunder which it evokes is its worst result. POSTMASTER MAY LOSE OUT. Negro in Charge of South Atlanta Station Under Serious Charges. A Washlington dispatch says: The postoffice department has taken cognizance of the case of J. L. Price, the negro in charge of the station in South Atlanta, who, it is reported, has been arrested charged with supplying ammunition to the blacks. An investigation is now under way, and if it be true, as alleged, that Price has been taken into custody on the grounds stated, and is convicted, he will be dismised from the service of the government. By Law-Abiding Citizens of Atlanta. Rald of Brownsville Puts an End to Reign of Terror. Atlanta's orgle of riot and blood shed was, terminated at daybreak. Tuesday morning, when the negro suburb of Brownsville, which was the scene of the fight Monday night, in which Officer Heard and four negroes were killed, was surrounded by three companies of infantry of the fifth regiment and the Governor's Horse Guard, with the result that 257 negroes were arrested and one killed. The large majority of the negroes were found heavily armed, and it was only those armed who were arrested. There were sent to the police barracks and to the tower as rapidly as rats could be procured. During the search for armed men several negroes tried to break through the lines, and were promptly fired upon, but, only, one was killed. Among the first ones arrested heavily armed was-L. J. Price, the postmaster of the village. The remainder of the day Tuesday and Tuesday night passed quietly, and Wednesday morning Industrial Atlanta resumed normal conditions, every plant in the city which had been closed down resumed work. At a mass meeting of Atlanta citizens Tuesday the following resolutions were passed: Whereas, this city has been the scene of a series of horrible crimes against women, causing great excitement among the people and leading to disorder, and mob violence; And, Whereas the spirit of retaliation for crime, working under cover of the mob, makes no discrimination and causes the murder of innocent, and law-abiding citizens; "And, Whereas, the first duty of any government is to protect life, liberty and property and the first duty of the citizen is to obey the law and support constitutional authority in its enforcement; And, Whereas, present state of affairs has demonstrated the fact that crime breeds crime and lawlessness begets lawlessness and when a question between the races has arisen the existence of riot, acts of violence and the spirit of the mob engenders hatred, fans the flames of racial passion and spreads the spirit of anarchy until the very foundations of government are shaken; therefore, be it "Resolved. That this meeting, composed of the members of the chamber of commerce and other law-abiding citizens, does solemnly protest against the spirit of lawlessness that has tarnished the fair name of our city and led to the commission of crime. "We denounce the cowardly and brutal murder of innocent people and the wounding of others, and we call upon all good men to lift their voices for law and order and use their influence to check the riotous spirit that is abroad in the community. "We call upon the authorities of our city and state to crush anarchy with an iron hand and spare neither expense nor force to do so." "And we demand that the authorities spare no effort to put a stop to the assaults on our women. If it takes more men or more money to do it that the authorities act accordingly. Our womanhood must and shall be protected. "It is not right nor just that the innocent, both white and black, shall be punished for the sins of the guilty, and the events of the past few days prove beyond doubt that it is the innocent of both races that are made to suffer as the result of the unrestrained effort of the mob to avenge the dastardly outrages that should be and must be punished by law. "We further declare that it is the duty of our city to care for the sick aid wounded of both races and to bury the dead, and we pledge our willingness to assist the authorities if needed. "Whore government has not been able to protect life the common instincts of humanity demand that it at least care for the victims of violence in sickness and death." Two. Men Killed and One Fatally Injured by. Southern Passenger. William H. Haynes, aged 40, and Dewey Hayne, aged 17 were Instantly killed Monday afternoon; and George Cox fatally injured when a party of four men were struck by a fast Southern passenger train at New Line, a small station near Morristown, Penn. The men were en route from Mansfield to New Line, where they intended to start a sawmill. They had awaited the passage of a freight train and stepped directly in front of the passenger train. NO.52. Is. tc Resign and Force United States to Intervene. AT VARIANCE WITH TAFT Senseless Tactics of Moderates Disgust, American Representatives. Troops May Be Landed at Any A special from Havana of Tuesday says, The Cuban republic stands on the verge of a second period of American intervention. The moderate party, which six weeks ago was in absolute control of every office in the island, national, provincial and municipal, is now determined to abdicate everything and compel the United States to interfere—in fact, every government official from President Palma down, is sincerely anxious to force such intervention rather than yield to any one of the terms offered by the liberal party and those in arms against the government. The liberal leaders characterize the conduct of the government as treason to the republic, while Secretary of War Taft regards it as an unwarranted and dishonorable attempt to force the hand of the United States into intervention. This, it has been stated, is precisely what the Roosevelt administration has been most anxious to avoid. It is still just barely possible that President Roosevelt, through Secretary Taft and Assistant Secretary of State Bacon, may yet arrange to establish the liberals in control or the Cuban government, but this is regarded only as the remotest sort of possibility. With either party installed in power, there would still remain a condition of deplorable dissatisfaction and unrest and Tuesday night there appeared nothing whatever to promise save control by the United States. Acting Secretary of Interior Montalvo declared Tuesday evening that he would never turn over the army to the liberals under any circumstances, but all government officials unite in saying that if the rebels in the field or any part of them resist American control, the Cuban army would co-operate with the United States in every way possible. The real feeling at the palace is one of relief in the prospect that the adversaries of the government will not win even though the government loses, combined with the satisfaction that the United States will be obliged to take over Cuba indefinitely and possibly forever. President Palma has called a special session of congress for Friday, when he will present the resignations of himself and Vice President Mendez Capote. The moderates, however, will not attend that session of congress, for in their hurriedly called national moderate assembly Tuesday afternoon, they decided, unanimously simply to quit forthwith. They will not even attend the approaching session on have anything more to do with the government of Cuba, alleging that they have been unjustly treated by President Rposevelt's commissioners. This determination is taken by Messrs. Taft and Bacon, however, as another indication that the moderate leaders, since they can no longer control, the government themselves are control the government themselves are determined, at whatever cost, that the tain control.

After having been mysteriously warned that he must leave Augusta, Ga., on account of incendiarl publications in his paper, The Georgia Baptist, Rev. W. J. White, colored, notified Mayor Allen Tuesday that he would get out of Augusta and never return. He left on the midday train, and his paper is not to be published any more. Church, to Be Prosecuted. Parley P. Christensen, county attorney of Salt Lake, Utah, was cited the appear in the criminal division of the state district at Salt Lake before Judge Armistrong, and show why he should not direct the arrest of Joseph P. Smith, president of the Mormon church, on a charge of sustaining unlawful relations with one his five wives. The prosecution grows out of the allegation that Smith's forty-third child was born to his fifth wife on the 21st of last May.

Said he: "The order will encourage labor to pursue its work of organization in the campaign which has been mapped out in the hope that a larger degree of justice, may be attained." ANCIENT THEATER BURNED. Savannah Playhouse Goes Up in Smoke—Oldest in United States. The Savannah theater, the oldest theater building in the United States, was destroyed by fire Friday night. Fortunately there was no performance at the theater, but had there been there would have been loss of life, so rapid was the spread of the flames. The fire occurred about twenty minutes after the hour at which the curtain usually rises. Habeas Corpus Proceedings Unavail ing In Test Case at Atlanta. Judge Pendleton of the superior court at Atlanta, Wednesday, denied a writ of habeas corpus to one C. C. Lee, a Southern railway machinist, sentenced by Recorder Broylek to 30 days in the stockade, and held in $1,000 bail on charges of inciting a hot and assault and battery. This company is duly chartered under the laws of the State of Georgia, and has complied with all requirements of the State Insurance department, therefore all policy holders are protected with all the safeguards that the strict insurance laws of this State seek to protect its citizens. Its affairs are directed and managed by Negro men of the city of Savannah of leading standing, and whose character and reputation are of such as to command the respect and confidence of all the people of that community. The same men that manage this Society are the ones that organized and are conducting the affairs of the first successful Negro Savings Bank in this state, therefore we can readily see that by connecting themselves with this Insurance company their interest will be in safe hands. By comparing our rules and benefits with other first class companies it will be seen that we offer the most liberal inducements with the largest sick, accident and death benefits to our members than any other company in this business.

St. Julian Street. Bell 'Phone 2171. THE state and county election will take place on Wednesday next. Each Republican voter must be at the polls early and cast his vote. CHATHAM, Liberty and McIntosh counties have nominated candidates for the legislature. The two latter counties can win if the Republican voters will do their duty. THE Republicans of this county have done the right thing by nominating a ticket, for the legislature and county officers. Let every Republican registered voter rally to this ticket next Wednesday and give it the full registered vote. At this time especially it behooves our people to be discreet and particularly law abiding. This advice is not needed by the better element of our people because they are always conservative and law abiding. This is intended for the element that is not so careful. These times call for cqol heads and rightful action and speech. THE TRIBUNE feels assured that our people can be depended upon for this much. THE affair in Atlanta is regretable for more reasons than one. We do not only regret the manner in which many of our men and women were killed and otherwise injured, but also regret the mob spirit. While the mob was composed of the reckless element, yet the penalty has to be paid by the better element, and to the credit of the latter they did what they could to allay the feeling and restore law and order. Many innocent ones suffered from the furies of the mob and many homes have been made desolate therefrom. The good colored people and the good white people most join hands and put down lawlessness in every community. The criminals of each race must be apprehended and punished. When this is done, lawlessness will not be so rampant. UNFORTUNATELY for Rev. W. J. White, editor of the Georgia Baptist he was compelled to leave Augusta and has promised never to return. The cause of it was an offense taken by the white people of article recently published in the Baptist. At this time the least thing that a colored man says is liable to be miscontrued and a mountain made of it. At any other time possibly no notice would have been given the editorial of Rev. White. We appeal to our white neighbors to manifest more of the spirit of tolerance. They know that the colored man is law-abiding and that he loves his home and country. The law-abiding spirit was demonstrated by their dooile manner while being mobbed in Atlanta; they relied upon the protection of the officers, which protection was not given. Their love for home and country has been demonstrated in many ways that are known. The public schools of the city and county will be open on Monday next. After much needed rest the teachers are ready for work and the children are eager to return for study. There opening of school is quite an event in the life of the children, old ones and beginners Of the beginners in the public schools, many of them will be doomed to disappointment on account of the lack of school room Unless the parents of these little ones are able to send them to private school, they will be pelled to grow up in ignorance, and naturally ignorance is the mother of many ills of the social life. Bleading with our school authorities for accommodation for our children has thus far been fruitful, but because they have turned deaf ears toward us is no reason for us to sit supinely by and do nothing to help our innocent children. By conserted action and in fact if every parent in the city would contribute at least one dollar, we would be able in a short time to purchase a suitable piece of ground-in-the southern part of the city and erect theron a building to accommodate our unfortunate children Self-help is the best and it should be in this case. It is wholesome to note the ringing denunciation of the mob by many of the leading men in Atlanta. The recent grand jury flays the mob as follows: "We appeal to all conservative and law-abiding citizens to exert their utmost influence for the prompt and vigorous suppression of mob violence, and for the strict enforcement of the law and order. We call upon the good people of the county, who are advised of the identity of any person or persons, who either took a part in the recent rioting in this city, or were witnesses to the end that those persons who may be shown to have taken part in the rioting either as leaders or participants, may be presented by the grand jury for trial. The assaults on the women must cease, but the killing and maiming of innocent persons is no punishment for the original crime. One crime is never cured by the commission of another crime. "The rioting of last Saturday night is a blot on the good name of this county, and outrage on our Anglo-Saxon civilization. When an honest appeal to the courts of the country shall no longer be available, we will have incurred exposure to the greatest private and public calamity. Let us therefore, at every peril and sacrifice, uphold the strong arm of the court; aid in the enforcement of law in letter and in spirit, and thus preserve the blessings of orderly liberty to ourselves and to our children." MANY CITIZENS MET. Well Attended Mass Meet- ing at St. Philips. ing at St. Philip's On Monday last some malicious person, with no good intent, put out the report that the meeting at St. Philip's Monumental Church would be raided by white men and advised the people not to attend. This false report had the tendency of keeping hundreds of people away, added to the fact that the lights of the church were extinguished early thus turning away hundreds of others who had gathering early. The facts did not deter the determined men who were bent on having the meeting The church was again opened and the meeting begun in the basement. It was soon found out that this place would not be sufficient to accommodate the people; therefore the spacious auditorium was lighted and soon crowded. In the absence of the chairman, Rev. D. W. Cannon, presided. The meeting was called for the purpose of furthering the organization of the United Transportation Company. Speeches with the proper ring in them were made by Revs. Cannon, H. L Haywood, Thos. Jefferson, J H. May, G W. Macklemore, and Messrs. Geo. S. Williams, J. A. Addjson, W. D. Armstrong, R. Barnes, J. C. Simmons, Jake Wright and several others. At this meeting and the one held previously, nearly a thousand shares were subscribed and many paid for. The meeting was a harmonious one and everybody went away feeling glad that they attended. Another rousing meeting was held last-night at the Second Baptist Church.

Savannah Jim Crow Cars Sentimentally, the recent "Jim Crowing" of Negroes on the Savannah street cars isn't all healthful and calls for effective indignation and resentment, but practically, it means more than mere surface gain to the Negro The conservative and effective manner in which the colored newspapers, leaders and loyal citizens of Savannah are handling the situation is commendable and will be the means of adding many dollars to the dough pile of Negro institutions and serve as an eye opener to the majority of Negroes in Savannah and elsewhere, who have not heretofore felt the necessity of building up their own. The only way to handle such thoughtless outbreaks by the whites, is for the Negro to put right in for the turning of this prejudice into cents and dollars. To-night, there will be many more Negroes in Savannah who will feel the necessity for and will spend their money with Negro institutions, than was the case the Saturday before this "Jim Crow" law was passed. Let the good work continue and soon the Negro banks and other enterprises of Savannah will see their way clear to put up the "coin" for a street car line of their own—Brunswick Herald.

Market SCHOLARLY SUNDAY·SERMON·BY THE REV, DR. F. W. GUNSAULUS. New York City—The Rev. Frank W. Gunsaule, Dr. D.L. DL, of Chicago. Its filling Dr. Donald Sage Mackay's pulpit in the Collegiate Church of St. Nicholas, and Sunday morning, to a very large congregation, he preached on "The Shut Door." It's text was Matthew vi:4, "Shut the Door." Dr. Gunsaule said: I wish I could by some contrast impossibl for me and possible only in its experience of your own hearts emphasize the difference between this command, as it comes to us loaded with infinite love, and the commands that come out of recollections of our childhood, that might give us some idea of the different texture of life, the life from which the heart is always moving into the infinite ranges of God's life, into which we are invited day by day. "Shut the Door." Benitik the instant demand, especially, upon American life, with its swollen veins and arteries, its various confusions and starry look and stumbling feet, is to get out of the whirl and hear a voice speaking with deep, fine authority, saying to us as we go through life, with its cares, duties, amusements and contradictions, "Shut the door." This is the voice of Jesus. He is telling us the secret of prayer, in the closet—secret, prayer in which the human soul comes alone into the presence of God; prayer in which man finds his true altitude and attitude; prayer in which alone a man is able to look into motives, perceiving the values of life, in which he gains his spiritual heredity and in which he assumes his sonship unto God through God's grace. The one thing that Jesus seems most intent about, that you and I should enjoy the privilege of prayer and receive its benefits, is all explained and emphasized in these words. "Shut the door." We are living at a time when prayer is a fact and a force. The world of the materialist has passed: the world of the idealist is here. The scientists of today are telling us, "Let us pray." It is not strange that we should begin to realize the unifying and exalted influence of prayer upon man's mental life. What, after all, is there today in life, when life's issues are so profound and even tragic, that unify all one's powers—the powers of the mind and of the affections—as will pray? When I pray in secret I am unified, as a man. If man is to be re-made, if he is to be made whole so that his various parts shall be no longer fragments, each afar from the other, must be divinely unified. But, my brother, if that is to be your experience, "Let us pray." Here is the Master coming quietly from the fields of Gallilee into your heart and mine, urging upon us, as the old, deep harmonies of the religions of all ages sweep into His soul, urging us, not only that we should pray, but pray alone. We see Him at Gethsemane, at the very crisis of His life, leaving Peter and James and John behind, and going alone to pray. I think the most significant announcement with regard to Saul, who was to become Paul, and his experience on the road to Damascus was made unconsciously by the one who said: "Behold, he prayeth." What an entire transformation! What a prophecy of his future! Do you think that Christ is calling you to an easy task when he says: "Shut the door?" Do you even know the pathway back to the old closet of early days? The road is now all overgrown. But since that day there have grown up branches over the pathway. First of all, we must find this path, if we are to find our manhood and womanhood. Is it not an astounding fact how little secret prayer there has been in our lives? How this passion for publicity has linked itself to our willingness to remain away from the secret place. True, a while ago, when we were in trouble, we found our way back. How sweet it was! But that was not secret prayer, for we did not "shut the door." It was prayer with the door wide open, through which we were looking back at the things from which we were trying to escape. You say, "I can get back to that place." If you sure sure to that place? If so, "shut the door." How we like to peek out and see what the majority are thinking—how our neighbors feel about things. How we want the door just a little way open in order that we may hear the sounds of the claims of good causes, in which we are interested! Surely, there is nothing wrong about that: "Shut the door." Let us take the words of Jesus into our hearts to-day as simply as we can and sincerely accept them: "Shut the door." "Why, surely," you say, "that is something I can do with one hand, while I grasp other things with the other hand." No, both hands must be inside. There must be no effort to grasp things without: "Well," you say, "what shall I shut the door against, there are so many things with which I must keep in touch?" I don't know; He says, "Shut the door." "But," you reply, "there is my church, my family, my relatives, my dear friends." O, poor soul! it seems such ordinary talk, does it not, in the presence of the great, sweet Biding. Who is saying, "Shut the door?" I must be alone with God; I must feel again my personal relationship to my Father; I must realize again that if there were only one being in the world, and I were that being, while the moral universe subsisted, still there must be a cross, still a Christ, still: Gethsemane, still the morning of the ascension, still the open sepulcher. The only way to be rid of our enemies is to "shut the door." The real truth is that, then the real crises of life come, my only enemy is myself. This is the one I need to conquer. Here are passions, prejudices, hates, lusts. Ch, my friend, whatever your gain or loss, realize this, that never until you shut the door will you go into the presence of God; never until in secret prayer you are alone with your enemies. What can any man do to harm me, unless I harm myself? If ever you are tossed about upon seas of dark- ness, it will be because you neglected to put the anchor on board and your ship is at the mercy of the waves. "Shut the door." After all the limitations of life that are serious are the limitations that come to us through loved ones. If there is one thing that a man needs, it is in some holy and grand way to be separated from these friends. I know of no other right, gentle and loving way but the way of prayer, and as I shut the door. Inside of that door I will never lose my power of friendship, my soul's friendship is real, lighting her altar fires for her friend, and when the prayer is over and the door open my friendship will be tenderer and deeper and I shall say, "My own, dear friend, I come back to you with a friendship that is all divine. Thou art my friend. I have been inside where the door was shut." I wonder where this door is to be found. I wonder, sometimes, when I try to have a secret moment in my own life, if there might not have begun a second meaning in the word when He said: "I am the door." For surely there is nothing in this universe responsive enough, great enough to shut everything else out and to shut the soul in—great enough in tenderness—so that the slightest touch of an infant soul will "shut the door." Here is the authority of Jesus Christ. No one knew the world outside as He knew it; no one knows the world inside as He knows it; no one else will take my thoughts, my feelings, my soul; no one else can shut the world out and the soul in. Here is a man who has been trying to pray and shut the door as Jesus told him to do. It takes more intellect to shut that door than to write Hindustane or Shakespeare; more character than to marshal an army and lead it to battle. No muscular power will do it; no intellectual refinement or process of philosophical investigation, no wealth. Ah, you will have to leave your wealth outside. "Shut the door." It is only the man in the grandeur of his solitude, in the presence of God, when he means more to God than ever before, it is only then that finally he gets the door shut—just because Jesus is our entrance. He is the door. I realize, day by day, how finite He is when I touch Him; how infinite He is when He touches me. How about that past? There it is. Nothing rankles more than man's past, that will lift. its head up and say: "Ah, here I am. Look at me. I know you. I have heard you pray before. Those hands, I know where they have been. That heart. I know how dark it is." Have you ever tried to shut the door against a past like that? Have you ever known what it is to have the past hiss and sting? Sometimes you think you have the door shut, but oh, how that past, that seem a giant, fully armed, too big to get into the door, suddenly transforms, flatten itself out, lies like a serpent, and by and by you hear it wiggling at the door, hissing. Oh, I must have a door accurately fitting, that whether the past sliters like a serpent or comes like a giant, I can shut that door. Oh, how at least the soul takes hold of one thing and severs all from the past, and that one thing is Jesus Christ. I am interested in men's problems. You know anything that is interesting enough in this world to keep the past out, except Jesus Christ? Is there anything that so appeals to your interest that you actually turn your back upon the past and say: "I have a present. Thank God. I have a present. I am looking to Him who says, "Follow Me." He has never yet told us we have followed Him too far. Since He says that, and as long as my heart pulses and as long as my will keeps in harmony with Him, I have a future." Your past is out of doors; your present and your future here, simply because you have "shut the door." I tell you, brethren, the manliest, the grandest, the greatest thing you can do this morning is simply to accept Jesus Christ as the door into the communion. The door moves upon such hinges of love that you need but to say: "I am a sinner: I want to be alone with God," to start it moving—to get in, with the past outside. My friends I will look for them by and by. And my enemies? I want to conquer only one of them. I want to be alone. I will "shut the door." May God's holy Spirit, who is here this morning, quicken every heart. Get back this very day—now, and "shut the door." You need not be afraid that the world will lose anything. You will be a better man when you go out, with a whitier face, cleaner hands, a more loving and a braver ear. "Shut the door." Dependence on God. Our heavenly Father keeps us constantly in the condition of uttermost dependence on Him. Were it otherwise with us how wanton would we become. Therefore, Hē writes the sentence of death upon ourselves, and also upon our choice temporal mercies—not that He always means to remove them, but to hold them as a special gift from Him; and, despairing of all succor but His own, that we should place our trust not on self, not on valued fellow-creatures, but on God, who can raise up to help us even the very dead (2 Cor. 1:8-10). He is considering our weakness, and our need, and our work; and in perfect wisdom and love has already arranged for the very best. The Only Hindrance. What hinders that you should be a child of God? Is not salvation free? Is no, the invitation to it hung out to you on every page of the New Testament? Is not Christ offered to you in all His offices, and are you not welcome to all His benefits if you want them? Is not the Holy Spirit promised to them that ask Him? Nothing can hinder you from being a Christian, but your own worldly, selfish, proud, obstinate, unworthy and self-righteous heart.—Ichabod Spencer. Take God With Us. To enjoy God and heaven it does not require that we wait till the last touch of death reveals all things in the light of eternity. We may take God and heaven along with us every day, and carry their peace and glory into all the dull and prosaic scenes of earth—Thomas Lathrop. PERUNA PRAISED. MRS. ESTHER M. MILNER. Box 321, DetGraff, Ohio. Dr. S. B. 'artman, Columbus, Ohio. Dear Sir: I am a terrible sufferer from pelvic weakness and had headache continuously. I was not able to do my housework for myself and husband. I wrote you and described my condition as nearly as possible. You recommended women took four bottles of it and was given wonderful medicine and have recommended it to my friends, with the very best of results. Esther M. Miller. Very few of the great attitudes of women who have been relieved of pain disease or weakness by Peruna ever consent to give a testimonial to be read by the public. There are, however, a few courageous, even women who will for the sake of their suffering sisters allow their cures to be published Mrs. Milner is one of these. In her gratitude for her restoration to health she is willing that the women of the whole world should know it. A chronic invasive brought back to health is no small matter.

As a matter of fact many such have been prepared and a few have met with some success temporarily But an insuperable objection to the universal language has been the difficulty of mastering it intelligently. It is usually complicated as to grammar, its vocabulary is a hodge-podge of meaningless vocal sounds, and the man setting himself to the task of studying it, felt that at best he was wasting his time on what might be termed a linguistic freak. Even when mastered it was useless for the reason that commercial interests the world over would not accept it for ordinary use. Hence Volapuk and the other less pretentious "new" languages" have been relegated to oblivion—New York Fnancier. Provoking Misunderstanding. The new girl at the summer resort was letting her arm hang idly over the side of the boat and dipping her fairy fingers in the cool, rippling water. "All this sort of thing is new to me," she said. "How do you do when you hook a big fish?" "You have to play him with some skill," answered the girl who was handling the oars. "Don't let him have his head too much. Yield a little to his impetuosity, but keep a firm grasp. Accept his presents, such as candy and the like, but——" "I was speaking of a real fish, you mean thing!" indignantly exclaimed the other—Chicago Tribune. THE WAY OUT Change of Food Brought Success and Happiness. An ambitious but delicate girl, after failing to go through school on account of nervousness and hysteria, found in Grape-Nuts the only thing that seemed to build her up and furnish her the peace of health. "From infancy," she says, "I have not been strong. Being ambitious to learn at any cost I finally got to the High School, but soon had to abandon my studies on account of nervous prostration and hysteria. "My food did not agree with me, I grew thin and despondent. I could not enjoy the simplest social affair for I suffered constantly from nervousness in spite of all sorts of medicines. "This wr-tched condition continued until I was twenty-five, when I became interested in the letters of those who had cases like mine and who were being cured by eating Grape-Nuts. "I had little faith but procured a box and after the first dish I experienced a peculiar satisfied feeling that I had never gained from any ordinary food. I slept and rested better that night and in a few days began to grow stronger. "I had a new feeling of peace and restfulness. In a few weeks, to my great joy, the headaches and nervousness left me and life became bright and hopeful. I resumed my studies and later tARGET ten months with ease—of course using Grape-Nuts every day. It is now four years since I began to use Grape-Nuts. I am the mistress of a happy home and the old weakness has never returned." Name given by Postum Co., Battle Creek, Mich. "There's a reason." Read the little book, "The Road to Wellville," in pkgs. THE TAURIDE PALACE, ST. PETERSBURG. For Fumigating Plants. For amalgating Plants. At the present time the scientific study of the propagative of flowers is receiving the attention of the foremost citizens of the world.

In the centre of the illustration is shown a tank containing vaporizable liquid insecticide, such as a solution of nicotine. In the enlarged section of pipe directly below the tank is placed a crumpled-up mass of fine wire gauze, which will cause the liquid insecticide which drops to spread out in thin layers, coating the wire. It is then picked up by the superheated eam and carried through the pipes to the greenhouses.—Philadelphia Record. Telegraph Lines For Europe. Among the European States Russia has the longest telegraph lines, a total of 175,000 kilometers (109,375 miles). Next is France, with 150,-000 kilometers (93,750 miles); Germany, with 134,000 kilometers (83,-750 miles); Great Britain, with 89,-000 kilometers (49,375 miles). More than twice as many telegrams are sent in Great Britain as in Germany, and nearly double the number sent in France. Flaw in Casting. The collapse of the roof of the Charing Cross railway station, London, was caused by a "pocket" formed in the casing of one of the iron tie rods. The weight of a staging on which carpenters were working broke it. There was no way of detecting the fault, experts said at the inquest. S THE FOUNDER OF THE SMITHSONIAN INSTITUTION.

An Echo Alarm Clock. President Murphy, of the Chicago National League Club, told at a baseball dinner a remarkable echo story. "There was a man," he began, "who had a country house in the Catskills. He was showing a visitor over his grounds one day, and, coming to a hilly place, he said: "There's a remarkable echo here. If you stand under that rock and shout, the echo answers four distinct times, with an interval of several minutes between each answer." "But the visitor was not at all impressed. He said, with a loud laugh: "You ought to hear the echo at my place at Sunapee. Before getting into bed at night I stick my head out of the window and shout, 'Time to get up, William!' and the echo wakes me at 7 o'clock sharp the next morning.'" Vacuum Preserving Jar. A vacuum preserving jar is a recent invention of an Illinois man. The invention relates primarily to jars or other vessels for hermetically sealing and preserving fruits, food-stuffs, beverages and so on. The cover is held on by atmospheric pressure and readily released without injuring the cap, so that the vessel can be refilled and used an indefinite number of times, thus adapting it for household as other purposes. In the illustration it is shown in connection with a jar, the upper end of which is formed with a flange, upon which rests a cap so shaped as to form a tight connection. Around the edge of the cap is a rubber gasket. The centre of the cap is formed with a small vent, closed by means of a rubber valve. A vacuum or partial For Preserving Fruits, Etc. vacuum can be created by bringing the contents to a boiling temperature, which will cause the outside atmospheric pressure to tightly close the rubber valve in the cap; or the air at the top of the vessel can be exhausted by means of a simple pump. In the latter event the invention can be used for preserving materials without cooking. This invention is adapted to the use of any other material than glass for jars, and the form is not necessarily limited to that indicated in the drawing. Both the jar and the cover are made entirely of glass, making it non-polsonous, with the advantage that it can be used again and again. What Noon Means in Law. When is it, legally noon? Fire insurance policies expire at noon, and the word is admitted to mean exactly at 12 o'clock midday. But standard time has not been adopted in all communities. Many small towns cling to the sun time, which may be from a few minutes to nearly an hour earlier than standard. In one State, a fire occurred at two minutes past noon, sun time, and the insurance company held that the policy had expired before the fire. Sun time is used in that town, but the insured sued the company, holding that local customs did not run the policy, and that he was entitled to his insurance. The State courts sustained him. In another State a similar contention was taken to the courts and just the opposite decision given. Several conflicting precedents have been established in State courts, and it is said the question can only be decided for good and all when a case has been carried into the United States courts and passed upon by the Supreme Court—New York Press. Big Demand For Alligator Hides. Shoe and Leather Reporter says that the consumption of alligator leather is greater now than ever before, the output of tanneries in America being approximately 280,000 hides annually, worth about $450,000. A DANGEROUS PRACTICE. Curning Off Paint Makes Insurance Void. It seems that considerable danger to property exists in the practice of burning off old paint before re-painting. The question has long been a subject of debate in the technical journals, and now house-holders and the newspapers have begun to discuss it. Those of us who, with trembling, have watched the painters blow a fiery blast from their lamps against our houses, and have looked sadly at the size of our painting bill because of the time wasted on this preliminary work are interested in the investigation by the Greenfield (Mass.) Gazette and Courrier, which gives considerable space to the reasons for the practice, questions its necessity and suggests ways to prevent the risk of burning down one's house in order to get the old paint off. It says: "There is a good deal of discussion among house-holders as to the desirability in painting houses, of burning off the old paint, a practice that has grown very common of late in Greenfield and elsewhere. Insurance men are strongly opposed to this method. It makes void insurance policies for fires caused in this manner. Several houses in Greenfield have gotten afire as the result of this method, and in some places houses have burned as a result. "It is undoubtedly true that when a house has been painted over and over again there comes to be an accumulation of paint in bunches. If new paint is put on top of these accumulations it is almost sure to blister. To burn it off is the quickest and cheapest and perhaps the surest method of getting rid of this old paint." The Gazette and Courler quotes certain old patrons to the effect that accumulations of paint are unnecessary. These old-timers lay the blame partly on the painter who falls to brush his paint in well, partly on the custom of painting in damp weather or not allowing sufficient time for drying between coats, and partly to the use of adulterated paints instead of old-fashioned linseed oil and pure white lead. The paper says: "Many of the older house-holders say that if care is taken at all these points, it is absolutely unnecessary to have paint burned off. They advise that people who have houses painted should buy their own materials, and to have them put on by the day, so as to be sure to get good lead and oil. Of course the burning off of paint greatly increases the cost of the job." The trouble house-holders everywhere have with paint is pretty well summed up by our contemporary, and the causes are about the same everywhere. By far the most frequent cause of the necessity for the dangerous practice of burning old paint is the use of poor material. The oil should be pure linseed and the white lead should be real white lead. The latter is more often tampered with than the oil. Earthy substances, and pulverized rock and quartz, are frequently used as cheapeners, to the great detriment of the paint. Painters rarely adulterate white lead themselves and they very seldom use readily prepared paints—the most frequent causes of paint trouble. But they do often buy adulterated white lead because the property owner insists on a low price and the painter has to economize somewhere. The suggestion is therefore a good one that the property owner investigate the subject a little, find out the name of some reliable brand of white lead, and see that the keg is marked with that brand. The linedseed oil is more difficult to be sure of, as it is usually sold in bulk when the quantity is small; but reliable makers of linedseed oil can be learned on inquiry, and if your dealer is reliable, you will get what you want. Pure white lead and linseed oil are so necessary to good paint that the little trouble necessary to get them well repays the house owner in dollars and cents saved.

IS WRECKED Twelve People Killed and Two Hundred Receive Injuries. HORROR AT JELLICO, TENN Car of Dynamic Explodes, Scattering Death and Destruction Over Wide Area—Many Business Houses Were Demolished. Twelve lives were snuffed out, scores of persons hurt and property damaged estimated at probably $500,000, was done at Jellico, Tenn., Friday morning at 8 o'clock, when a carload of dynamite, standing on a track near the Southern depot exploded with a report that was heard for twenty miles, shattering buildings in the business section of the town, and breaking nearly every piece of glass within a radius of one mile of the scene. The dead are: George Atkins, telephone Inman; John Cook, car inspector for the Southern; Walter Rogers, clerk for United Cold Storage Warehouse; John Cordon, colored; James Sharp, colored; William Lovette, aged 12; Ida Raine, aged 3 years; James Reynolds; John Hoch; J. M. Cook; Joseph Sellers, engineer on Louisville and Nashville. One body remains unidentified, making the total dead at twelve. There is a bare possibility that other bodies may be recovered from the rules of buildings, but this is hardly probable. The list of injured is a long one, approximately two hundred, and contains several people probably fatally hurt. The freight car, one of the Pennsylvania's line, contained 450 boxes of 20,000 pounds of high explosives conzigned to the Rand Power company at Clearfield, Tenn. Two causes are assigned for the explosion. One is that some parties were shooting at a mark on the car, and that a bullet entered the car and caused the explosion. The other is that while the car was standing on a sidetrack a carload of pig iron was switched against it, and that the force of the far caused the explosion. Citizens are divided as to the theories, some going so far as to say that they actually saw the man firing at the car with a rifle. Jellico is situated on the Tennessee-Kentucky state line, about 65 miles from Knoxville, the main business portion of the town being on the Tennessee line. Two lines of railroads, the Southern and Louisville and Nashville, enter it. The depot of the Southern, which was located near the scene of the explosion, was wholly wrecked. Two hotels, the Glenmergan and the Carmothern, were badly wrecked, the third story of the latter being wholly destroyed. Business houses were badly disfigured, stocks of goods ruined, white residences suffered severely, windows and doors being blown out in houses as far from the scene as one mile. Among the buildings totally destroyed, were the Armour Packing company's warehouse, the Jung Brewing company warehouse, the Pinnacle Brewing company's warehouse, tank and warehouse of the Kentucky Consumers' Oil company and the Standard Oil company's warehouse. Beside the hotels, the Jellico Furniture company's building collapsed, and the stock of the Smith Dry Goods company was practically ruined, although the building which it occupied, the Cumberland opera house, the finest structure in Jellico, escaped with little damage. Fully twenty other firms suffered losses, but they occupied small buildings. Rascuers began work soon after the explosion, and medical aid was asked of Knoxville, which sent a dozen physicians to administer to the wounded. Twelve of the most seriously injured were sent to Knoxville on Friday night's train to hospitals in that city.

It was rumored in Havana late Monday afternoon that the government and the moderates had lacitly decided to concode practically everything to the liberals and rebels. Victory for the liberals or revolutionary party seemed certain Monday night at the conclusion of a long conference between a committee of the insurgents, of eight members, and the American peace commissioners. The insurgent committee announced that there was practically no differences remaining between them and Secretaries Taft and Bacon, and that they would receive a draft of the peace plans. These probably would be agreed to at a meeting to be held in the presidia, where the prisoner members of the committee are confined. Secretary Taft said he could give no details of what transpired at the conference for the reason that it was now necessary to treat with the government leaders, and that the publication of the peace proposals might interefere with their prompt acceptance. Messrs. Taft and Bacon went to the palace at once, and informed President Palma of the outcome of the negotiations with the liberals. The absence of a definite statement from the commissioners makes it impossible to say whether the plans carry the resignations of the present administration and the congressmen elected last year or not. There is a strong impression that President Palma will remain and reorganize the cabinet, but that new elections will be held for the senators and representatives who were elected last year. In discussing the situation Secretary Taft said that he would go over with Alfredo Zayas, the leader of the liberals, the variations that the liberal leaders desire in the memorandum of the peace program. "If we reach a conclusion," the secretary said, "we hope to announce it Tuesday night." Mr. Taft ovined a great pleasure at the progress made thus far, and it is evident that he regards the remainder of the negotiations as a matter of working out the details of the peace agreement. This bears out the insistent rumor in circulation that the government abandoned much of its opposition to receiving the liberal leaders, and it was apparent that the peace commissioners felt that while there was no reason for rebellion in Cuba, there was real foundation for liberal complaint against the election methods of the administration party. VARDAMAN ANSWERS QUESTIONS Tells Northern Newspapers He Has No Sympathy for "Home Destroyers." Dispatches from Jackson, Miss., contain a statement on the negro problem as it appears in Atlanta, given out Monday by Governor Vardaman. The governor's statement was prompted by questions wired him by northern newspapers. It is in part as follows: "In answer to yourq question: Cannot terror of the law and stern justice be made just as effective as the terror of rioting and mob rule?" "It can be, provided the fifteenth amendment shall be repealed and the fourteenth modified so as to permit the people of Georgia to legislate to suit the moral qualities and intellectual acquirements of the negro." Dealing with the crime of rape, Governor Vardaman says: "Nine-tenths of the negroes, regardless of their station or vocation in life, sympathize with the brute in his aspirations for social equality and while they would not perpetrate the crime, they will give the criminal all the protection from the penalty of the law within their power. The man whose daughter, wife or friend is outraged will not consent to have the victim brought into court before the gaping crowd." "I wish it were different, but I have no word of censure for the man who kills that character of destroyer of his home." KU KLUX KLAN BROKEN UP. Secret Organization Discovered in Augusta, Ga., by City Authorities. The authorities discovered a secret organization of Ku Klux in Augusta, Ga., Tuesday, and broke it up. Detectives found in a local job printing office literature privately printed for the organization, and on further investigation found that a local tailoring establishment of high repute had made gowns and other regalia for the band. A number of young men connected with the organization were arrested, and placed under peace bonds. BRYAN IN, BIRMINGHAM.

He was given a rousing ovation at the close of his address. Taft Gives Up All Hope of Pacifying Cuban Factions. INTERVENTION IS CERTAIN Seems That Yankee Guns Only Can Settle Dispute—Cuban Rebels Fire at United States Marines at Cienfuegos. A special from Havana says: It is understood that Secretary Taft has sent a gloomy message to President Roosevelt, saying that private reports received by him from the interior are to the effect that a state bordering upon anarchy prevails throughout almost the entire island, exception being made of the sections on the coast. It is known that Secretary Taft has decided absolutely not to treat with armed rebel forces. This is taken to mean that American intervention and American occupation must inevitably follow. In a measure, Mr. Taft's decision may be due to the attitude of the Cuban government, which refuses such recognition of the rebels as would be implied through intermediary of the United States. The intervention contemplated would mean the taking over of the affairs of the entire island pending some final settlement. An impartial canvass among Cubans in high positions and representing the most important commercial and financial interests in Havana showed that it is practically the unanimous opinion that intervention alone can afford a guarantee of restoring and maintaining order. Messrs. Taft and Bacon have practically abandoned hope of finding a middle ground, and fear that a decision in favor of either side would result in no more than temporary tranquility for the island. It is their belief that American occupation is the only way to end the civil warfare, and it is not denied that intervention must be followed by American sovereignty. Secretary Taft has cabled to President Roosevelt regarding the gravity of the situation, and Mr. Roosevelt is expected to dictate the future program of his commissioners. The arrival of the American squadron suggests intervention by force. A meeting of the executive committee of the moderate party was hastily summoned Friday evening, and it was voted unanimously to accept whatever disposition of the controversy Messrs. Taft and Bacon may decide upon. In the hope that such a concession would induce the liberals to yield similarly. The latter, however, have as yet not signified a willingness to accept the decision of the American mediators. The rumor was abroad in Havana that President Palma, the members of his cabinet and the representatives and senators elected last December would resign, thus conceding practically all that the insurgents have been contending for, and opening a way for the settlement of the difficulty without American intervention. Rebels Fire at Americans. La Discución (Havana newspaper) publishes a dispatch from Clenfuegos saying that blue jackets from the American gunboat Marletta who are garrisoning the Soledad estate have been fired on by rebels. The rebels fled after the Americans returned the fire. Warship for Clenfuegos. A Washington special says: The navy department Friday received a dispatch from Commander Fullum of the Marletta at Cienfuegos, saying that 225 marines had been landed there from the cruiser Dixie, which had sailed thereafter for her original station at Monte Christi, Santo Domingo. The Cleveland, which arrived at Havana Friday morning, has been ordered to proceed at once from that place to Cienfuegos, to take the place of the Dixie. LABOR SHORTAGE CAUSES LOSS. Negroes Quit Plantations and Crops Suffer for Attention. Reports of losses threatened to the cotton crop by reason of negroes leaving the plantations in large numbers to engage in other branches of labor have been received by New-Orleans cotton dealers. Several cotton factors reported the receipt of appeals from planters asking for aid in securing from fifty to one hundred laborers each to assist in the approaching cotton harvest. WOMAN RUNS FOR CONGRESS. Miss Laura Payne Accepts Nomination of Socialists. Miss Laura B. Payne of Fort Worth, Texas, in accepting the nomination on the socialist ticket for congress, comes out strongly for government ownership of railroads and goes a step further than Mr. Bryan in advocating government ownership of all packing housed. Miss Payne is the first woman to run for congress in Texas, and says she will push her campaign vigorously. NEGROES USE GUNS Attack:Force of County Officers in Atlanta Suburbs. DEATH LIST WAS FIVE One Policeman and Four Negroes Victims of Fierce Fighting in the Dark—The Officers Were Ambushed. The city of Atlanta was its quiet, businesslike self again Monday morning and afternoon, and it was not until the coming of night and the outbreak of the negroes on the outskirts that the city grew excited again. During the day there was little lawlessness. Then it was the blacks near the outskirts, who kept the trouble alive and the citizens on the quil vive, fearing that their lives and the lives of their families might be endangered. A battle in the dark between officers of the law and negroes was fought Monday night at Brownsville, a negro town two miles to the south of the city, and near Clark university. The officers with their prisoners were ambushed and the fight was to the death. When the battle was at its height, one policeman, James Heard, fell dead, and his companion, Polliceman Jordan, knowing that the officer beside him was dead, used the dead body as a shield as he poured a shower of lead into the crowd of negroes. He fired three rounds, and they were with telling effect, for from the most reliable reports at least a dozen negroes lay dead when the battle was over. There was not even a light of the stars to throw a ray upon the battle ground It was cloudy, and the officers and their assailants were in total darkness. The negroes were holding an incendial meeting. One of them was making a speech, denouncing the white people and advising the negroes to take their revenge for the killing of negroes in the city on Saturday night. Lieutenant Poole of the county police force organized a posse of nine county policemen and two citizens and advanced upon the meeting. The negroes were ordered to desist and they refused to disperse. Ten negroes were arrested, and the officers were on their way to take a trolley car to the city when the battle occurred. The officers were fired upon from the dark, and they returned the fire. At least a hundred shots were fired on both sides. The negroes had gone ahead of the officers and waylaid them. At the first volley Officer Heard fell dead. He had been shot by a negro who had a single barrel gun loaded with buckshot. The negroes continued to fire after Heard had fallen, and then it was that Officer Jordan fired three rounds behind the dead body of his friend. The negroes at last turned and fled to the woods, and the battle was over. While accurate reports were impossible, the number of negroes killed in the fight was reported by many as reaching twelve. Dr. O.N. Harden stated that he saw bodies rising all over the ground. It is certain, however, that four negroes were killed. A short time after the fight had ended, two negroes, Sam McGruder and Wiley Brooks, both about 30 years of age, were shot to pieces on the front porch of Park Commissioner Robert H. Manloy, 491 Crew street, having been taken from an incoming Lakewood car, on which county officers were holding them on the charge of having been members of the band which had killed Policeman Heard. By far the most dramatic incident of the night was the tragic death of Mrs. Robert C. Thompson of 495 Crew street, who was frightened to death, dying of heart failure, when the two negroes were shot to pieces on the porch of the Manley home, next door. Mrs. Thompson, who was soon to become a mother, was 35 years of age, and in addition to her husband is survived by two sons, 7 and 10 years old. By a forced march, the seventeenth infantry, United States army, which has been spending the summer at Camp Chicamauga, reached Fort McPherson Monday night, and reported ready to give aid to the state troops should that ever become necessary. Colonel Van Orsdale, commanding the regulars, communicated at onco with Colonel Anderson of the fifth Georgia infantry, and reported the arrival of his regiment, offering their services for the protection of the city should they be needed.

JOHNSON, Savannah, Ga. BOOKER WASHINGTON ON RIOTS. Tuskegee Educator Gives a Straight- forward Expression on Situation. A New York dispatch says: "As a rule I never disous mob violence except when I am in the south, but in 'this case I make an exception," said Booker T. Washington, referring to the race riots in Atlanta. "Iin answer to many requests," he continued, "I will state that in my address in Atlanta to the National Negro Business League, a few days ago, I spoke plainly against the crime of assaulting women and against resorting to lynching and mob law as a remedy for any evil. I feel the present situation too deeply to give an extended utterance at this time except to say that I would strongly urge that the best white people and the best colored people come together in council and use their united efforts to stop the present disorder. I would especially urge the colored people in Atlanta and elsewhere to exercise self-control and not make the fatal mistake of attempting to retaliate, but to rely upon the efforts of the proper authorities to bring order and security out of confusion. If they do this, they will have the sympathy of good people the world over. "Wherever I have met them, without exception, I have found the leading colored people as much opposed to crime as the leading white people; but what is needed now is to get the best element of both races together and try to change the present deplorable condition of affairs. We of both races must learn that the inflexible enforcement of the law against all criminals is indispensable and in this I will do my utmost to have my race co-operate. "The Atlanta outbreak should not discourage our people, but should teach a lesson from which all can profit. And, we should bear in mind also that while there is disorder in one community there is peace and harmony in thousands of others. As a colored man I cannot refrain from expressing a feeling of a very deep grief on account of the death of so many innocent men of both races because of the deeds of a few criminals." *89 *57 Via Montromery. *83 3 15s 6 45p Lv.
