County Treasurer Waring Russell has
filed suit against the city of Savannah
for $5,000 damages for land which he
eavs was taken from him to open up
some of the principal streets, in 1871,
and for which he claims he has never
[been compensated. By decree of the
[courts it was decided in 1875 that the
lands belonged to him, but why he has
delayed the pressing of his claim until
now is not known.
The Gainesville Eagle remarks:
Sow, a word to farmers and garden¬
's: Give these government seeds a
ride berth. Don’t bother with them,
[hey are never first-class and often
worthless. Get good seed. Go to a
:eputable dealer and buy them. And
?e sure and get them fresh. Insist on
laving last year’s seed. Far more de¬
fends on good seed than good ground,
jut it takes a combination of the two

A suit of more than local interest
has been filed in the superior court at
Macon. The parties to the suit are
Major J. F. Hanson, one of the most
prominent manufacturers in the South,
who is and has been for years, one of
the strongest protectionists in the
country, and United States Senator
elect A. O. Bacon. The senator is the
defendant. The suit grows out of the
fact that Major Hanson was compelled
to pay a bond which he signed three
.years ago for one of Senator Push’s
clients, the' amount of which was
about $14,000. It is for this amount
that he sues. Major Hanson sets out
that he was induced by Senator Bacon
to sign the bond on grounds of long
friendship, and that Senator Bacon as¬
sured him that he could not possibly
lose anything. He says that Senator
Bacon has, repeatedly, declined to in¬
demnify him for the loss of the bond.

The Commission Named.
The members of the special com¬
mission to pass upon and decide all
matters of controversy between the
state and any person or persons affect¬
ing or relating to the Western and
Atlantic railroad, have been named by
Governor Atkinson. They are: Judge
John L. Hopkins, of Atlanta; Hon.
Warner Hill, of Merriwether county,
and Hon. Thomas R. Jones, of Dalton.
This commission is created in ac¬
cordance with house joint resolution
No. 13, adopted by the last legislature;
and the special matter which it will
consider is the controversy between the
state and the Central Railroad Com¬
pany over certain property between
Forsyth and Whitehall streets in At¬
lanta. The Central claims the prop¬
erty in question as part of its right of
way, while the state contends that it
belongs to the Western and Atlantic
right of way.
The commission will Bit at the capi
tol, but will probably not begin its
work until June or July. Mr. Wim
bish will represent the state in all of
these cases. The matter of compen¬
sation of commissioners is left to the
governor, with the approval of the
next session of the legislature.
A Distinguished Approval.
Hon. Charles W. Dabney, Jr., as¬
sistant secretary of agriculture of the
United States, after visiting the Geor¬
gia experiment station, said:
i t It was very unique in many re¬
spects, set off as it is by itself, and
uot having a college located in con¬
nection. I usually find colleges run
in connection with stations, and then
the practical and scientific farming go
band in band. But here I find more
practical farming than I have found
elsewhere, and I am inclined to think
that it may be that it has proven bene¬
ficial, and it is well for some stations
to be scientific and others practical.
ii I had access to all of the books
and tbe papers of the station, and was
shown over the farm. Colonel Red¬
ding is the right man in the right
place, and is surrounded by able as¬
sistants on the farm, but he really
needs more help—a clerk any way—
for ho cannot possibly do justice to
his correspondence when he attends to
his other duties.
ii During my tour through the south
and west, I fouud no station that is so
neatly kept, and can unhesitatingly
say that it is the best kept farm that I
have visited.
i i Everything is in perfect order; its
walks, drives, lawns and the prepared
ground itself shows that nothing is left
undone. I must confess that I was as¬
tonished at the care taken.
< < Of course it must not be expected
to see any showy crops, for that is not
the object of the station, but you can
say for me that I found this station
conducted on a most progressive and
rational plan, with better drainage,
better system of water works and
buildings in better repair than any I
have visited, and my visit was one of
pleasure. *'_______
COLVIN WAS UNSUCCESSFUL.
Suit to Prevent the Issue of Gold
Bonds Fails In the Supreme Court.
The supreme court at Washington
has dismissed the writ of error in the
case of John H. Colvin, against the
city of Jacksonville, Fla., from the
United States circuit court for the
northern district of Florida.
Colvin, claiming to be a citizen of
Illinois and the owner of property to
the amount of $50,000 in Jacksonville
in May, 1894, applied for an injunc¬
tion against the city and Mayor D.
Fletcher to prevent the issuanoe of
bonds for $1,000,000, on the ground
that after the electors approved the
issue payable in lawful money the city
council provided that it should be
payable in gold coin.
.
The court below dismissed the libel
for want of jurisdiction, and the su¬
preme court dismissed Colvin’s appeal,
Justice Shiras explaining that since the
question of jurisdiction of the lower
court had been certified to, the su¬
preme court by that court, in the ab¬
sence of such a certificate, was fatal to
the maintenance of the writ.
Texas Anti-Trust Law Tested.
A suit has been filed at Waco, Texas,
by the state against the W aters-Pierce
Oil company, of the Standard Oil
trnst, to recover $109,500 in penalties
and for a forfeiture of its permit to do
business in Texas. The suit will be a
test of the state anti-trust law.
AN ARMISTICE
-
WHICH JAPAN WILL ACCEPT ON
CERTAIN CONDITIONS.
Ik the Meantime Hostilities Betwa©!;.
the Two Nations Will Cease.
The following telegram was receive*
Friday afternoon by the Japanese le
gation at Washington from the Japan
ese foreign office:
i < On the opening of the negotiations
the Chinese plenipotentiary proposec
an armistice, which the Japanese gov¬
ernment was willing to accept on cer¬
tain conditions. While this negotia¬
tion was going on the untoward event
happened on the person of the Chinese
plenipotentiary. His majesty, the
emperor, having in view this unhappy
occurrence, commanded the Japanese
plenipotentiaries to consent to a tem¬
porary armistice without condition.
This was communicated to the Chinese
plenipotentiary.
Confirmation of the Armistice.
The London Times says it is under¬
stood that official news of the armistice
has been received in London, and con¬
tains this dispatch from Shimonoseki:
“Li Hung Chang progresses admirably
and the condition of his wound is sat
factory. Letters of sympathy, presents
and deputations continue to arrive from
all classes of the Japanese community.
The Japanese physician, Issugnro,who
is attending Li, reports the favorable
progress of his patient. The antiseptic
treatment is fully effectual and there is
no discharge from the wound. The
pulse and temperature are normal, and
no further anxiety need be felt. ”
The Times is informed from Shang¬
hai : “Admiral Ito bombarded the
east forts of Pong-Hu, of Pescadores
islands, on March 23d. A thousand
troops were landed and attacked the
Saime fort, which dominated the
others. The Chinese evacuated it du¬
ring the night and the Japanese en¬
tered it at 6 o’clock the next morning.
They turned the guns on the other
forts, but got no reply. One of the
western forts exploded before it was
taken. A thousand Chinese were cap¬
tured ; the remainder were allowed to
escape in junks. The Japanese lost
one killed and twenty-seven wounded.
There are thirty-one Japanese vessels
now at Formosa. The black flags are
still insolent to foreigners in the
south.
ii From Peking it is reported that
Li Hung Chang’s assailant desired to
avenge the execution of his brother in
Tien-Tsen at the beginning of the war.
The officials in Pekin confer frequent¬
ly. The prospects of a settlement are
regarded as doubtful. Prince Rung
is much worn and has taken five days
Uave of absence. ”
FRANCE BLAMES ENGLAND
For the Recent Collision Between
Steamships Off Messina, Sicily.
As an indication of the strained re¬
lations between England and France,
the Matin and other Frence newspa¬
pers persist in insinuating that the
collision on March 30 off Messina
Island off Sicily, between two British
steamers, the Alvah and the Brink
burn, the latter chartered by the
French government as a transport to
take troops and munitions of war to
the island of Madagascar, was due to
England’s malice and a nation capable
of such an action should be made to
repent it.
The Alvah, as reported at the time,
was sunk, and the Brinkburn, which
was on her way from Toulon to the
Island of Madagascar with French
troops and munitions of war on board,
was seriously damaged, but succeeded
in making the harbor of Messina.
THE HOURS TO TESTIFY.
Summoned Before the Tennessee Pen.
itentiary Committee.
A Nashville special says: The peni¬
tentiary committee has summoned ex
Congressman John 0. Houk and his
brother, Elmer Houk, of Nashville,
and will take their statement as to the
story that Elmer Houk said John was
to receive $10,000 from Fulcher & Co.
for delaying Commissioner Young the
day the bids were to have been open¬
ed, the object being to give time for
opening the bids and changing that of
Fulcher & Co., so that they might se¬
cure the contract for tbe new peniten
tiary. The bids were submitted in
printed envelopes, and no private
mark or seal was allowed.
WILL MAKE WHISKY.
The Sugar Trust Takes Out Distill¬
ers’ License to Utilize By-Products.
That the American Sugar Refining
Company will engage in the distilling
of spirits is made certain by the fact
that a distillers’ license has been taken
out by the company, The purpose is
to utilize the by-product of the sugar
refineries, a portion of which it has
been sending to New Bedford for man¬
ufacture into rum, and for which it
received about two cents per gallon.
The understanding is that one of the
old refineries in the eastern district of
Brooklyn, N. Y., will be converted
into a distillery, with a oapacity of
50,000 gallons of proof spirits per day.
