Jan. 30.—The hearings l on Chinese exclusion were continued to day before the house committee on for eign affairs. H. R. Fuller, tn behalf of the Brother hood of Railroad Employes, spoke in fa vor of strict exclusion. He said the objec tion to the Chinese, from the labor stand point, was that they come into competi tion with American workmen, the Chi nese having such habits of cheap living that they work for wages which respecta ble American workmen could not afford to take. Andrew Furusuth. of the Seamen’s Union. San Francisco, gave the extent of Chinese labor on the Pacific coast, showing that they practically monopolised the labor field In the salmon canning in dustry. and were competing with Ameri can labor tn cigar making, tailoring, la boring and many other branches. He said the Chinese worker tn these cases accept ed wages so much lower than the white man that the former recured the work. Mr. Fursuth said the labor organiza tions would not be satisfied with any bill which did not protect American workmen from Chinese coming from the Philip pines as well as from China.

PEAGMVfiOOERS ■ VERT DESIRABLE WITH ENGLAND NOTED AUTHORITIES SAY THERE IS LITTLE REASON FOR FUR- THER CONTINUANCE OF THE CONFLICT. NEW YORK. January 81.-M. Henri Rochefort, editor of Intranslgeant. cables The Journal and American from Paris regarding the outlook for peace in South Africa: “There ought to be peace, but upon a basis similar to that given to the Cuban republic and which should also make the Philippines free. The republic of Cuba is a gloricus example for the Boers in two ways. First, it demonstrated the ef fectiveness of a people fighting for home and freedom; second, that the liberty loving spirit still lives in the United States. The Boers have astonished the world and deserve freedom. The inter mediaries who are feeling their way to peace should remember this." ' Colonel Arthur Lynch, who served in the Boer army and recently was elected to parliament from Galay, aleo cables The Journal and American from Parts: "Both sides have strong reasons for desiring peace. If they fight another six months the situation may not be materi ally altered and it is impossible to say exactly what is the military situation. It is certain that now the Boers are as optimistic as they were a year ago with regard to their ability to hold out, while England's situation is becoming intoler able, not only on account of her enormous expense, but because of the stagnation of trade and loss of prestige in the diplo matic world. Nor are the Boers on a bed of roses, and they like England, have long desired peace if the terms are on a satisfactory basis. "Peace is possible for there are only a few points about which both sides are not in accord. The main thing is to have a tangible, feasible program, and the an tagonists will soon get that if they come together and peace may be looked for very soon.” DEAD MANTO PAY HIS FIANCEE HIS ESTATE ONAWA. la..

ATLANTA. GEORGIA, MONDAY. FEBRUARY 3, 1902, FRINGE HENRY WILL NOT GOME MAYOR MIMS IS NOTIFIED THAT THE ROYAL VISITOR WILL BE UNABLE TO VISIT THIS CITY. Prince Henry of Prussia, the distin guished visitor from Germany to the Unit ed States, who will come as the personal representative of the emperor, will not in clude Atlanta in his itinerary, and all pre parations for his reception and entertain ment in this city have therefore been stopped. The announcement of the fact that Prince Henry will not be able to visit this city was contained in a telegram which was sent from Washington and received by Mayor Mims Thursday morning: A copy of.the telegram follows: “Hon. L. Mims. Mayor, Atlanta, Ga.— “I horve received the kind invitation of the mayor and council of Atlanta for Prince Henry, of Prussia, to visit Atlanta during his stay In the United States. I beg to acknowledge gratefully this kind thought, which will be deeply appreciated by his royal highness, and regret to say that owing to the very short stay of Prince Henry his royal highness will un fortunately not be able to visit Atlanta. "HOLLENBEN.” Arrangements were under way for a splendid reception for the prince in this city and the fact that he cannot come here will doubtless be the cause of much regret, especially among the Germans of the city, who were enthusiastic over the prospects for seeing a prince of the royal blood from their fatherland. Ko Change in Route Will Now Be Made WASHINGTON. Jan. 30.—The commit tee on arrangements for the reception of Prince Henry held another meeting today and completed the itinerary of the west ern and southern trip, which will be taken by the prince. The committee has found itself embarrassed by Its desire to meet the wishes of Prince Henry' to see as much of the United States as possiole in the time allotted to his visit and the wish es of the various cities and communities to have him stop some time In each. The effort to reconcile tneee conditions has re sulted in a program which allots a very short period of time to many of the local ities that had hoped to have the prince with them at least one or two days. In Cincinnati his stay will be less than half a day and in other cases it has been nec essary to cut out important cities or break up the long projected night runs. Atlanta has been omitted from the program and Chattanooga probably will be the extent of the southern trip.

What is to be known as the Atlanta freight bureau was organized Wednesday afternoon at the Chamber of Commerce. The object of the bureau is to stimulate business, promote the city's shipping and freight facilities and to bring about a closer union of the shipping and freight Interests. Fifty representative business men took part in the organization of the bureau Wednesday. The bureau starts off under most favorable circumstances, hav ing already enough subscriptions to run it for several years. The expenses will be met through voluntary subscriptions, and so auspiciously has the organization been launched that there seems little doubt of its permanence. A charter will be applied for at an early date and certificates of membership will be issued entitling mem bers to the privileges of the bureau. No stock will be issued. H. T. Moore, formerly chief rate clerk of the Southern railway and a prominent freight man, has been made freight com missioner of the bureau. A board of direc tors, consisting of not less than seven nor more than twenty-five, will have charge of the conduct of the bureau. All members of the board of directors will be exempt from liability. It is believed that the bureau will ac complish great good in preventing dis crimination against Atlanta In freight rates. An effort will be made through the bureau to effect a revision and classifi cation of items of freight which are at present considered Improperly classified under the laws now existing.

VALDOSTA, Ga., Jan. 31.—Professor W. B. Merritt, of this city, candidate for state school commissioner, makes the fol lowing announcement today: “To the People of Georgia: The fact that so many have been urged to an nounce is very strong evidence of the state-wide desire for a change in the office of state school commissioner. “The demand for a change by so many thoughtful people; the demand for a more practical and harmonious administration of school affairs; the innumerable criti cisms, many of which are well founded, seem to overbalance the claims of the in cumbent to a fifth term. “Among the gentlemen who were urged to become candidates, I was in favor of one whose interest, sympathy and earnest activities have for years been given to the cause of education as opportunities presented; a man whom the people of Georgia have many times entrusted with positions of honor and responsibility. It is a matter of regret that his health would not permit him to accept this office at the hands of his citizens. “The providing of ample and efficient school facilities for the rubral districts of Georgia is the most Important question connected with the future growth and development of our state. ‘ The burning is sue is, how can the present state fund be so expended as to give the best results to the masses of the children of the rural districts. “For thirty years there Ms been oper ated in Georgia a so-hilled common school system, arid yet no deflnlte'plan for the systematic education Os the children of the masses, on sound educational prin ciples, has been devised’ or put in opera tion by the executive head of pur schools. In the earlier history Os ’ tne system, when the funds prqvlded were, amall. and when teachers ana boards of education were not so efficient as now. there were undoubtedly good reasons for an absence of systematic work, but now. with a state fund of 31,600.000 and with teachers, many df whom have been trained for their work at the state’s expense, and with school officers growing in efficiency every year, there can be no acceptable excuse offered for the continued lack of plan and sys tem. “It is true that large numbers of towns and cities in the state have excellent school systems in which the well-rounded education of the children in their juris diction is sought, but these are the re sults of the efforts of local school au thorities and do not need the constant care of the state superintendent. His special work—the work for which he is paid—is with the county schools. “To Inaugurate and operate a real sys tem of common schools in Georgia three things are necessary; first, a knowledge of the actual educational conditions ex isting in the state; second, the ability to plan a system to meet these conditions and to see that this pion is executed; third, a willingness to put time and la bor in the place where it is needed, in stead of wasting time and expense money in gratuitous labors in local systems where the state superintendent has abso lutely no authority. “There is a striking clause In the school law’ touching the visits of the state school commissioner to the various counties. It says these visits shall be ‘for the purpose of examining into the administration of the school law, counseling with school officers, delivering popular addresses, in specting school operations and doing such other acts as he may deem subservient to the interest of popular education.’ “Among these duties we think the fourth on the list should receive due at tention. No amount of ‘popular es,' etc., can compensate for a lack of ’inspecting school operations. "From'a long connection with Georgia's educational system, as pupil, teacher and superintendent, I have become convinced that the emphatic need of Georgia's schools is system—a different plan for the elementary education of all the children of our state. "The members of the edqcatlonal boards by whom I am now employed, and other friends, have kindly expressed their con fidence in my ability to discharge the du ties of the office. Educational questions and practical school work have claimed the best energies of my life. I have used every opportunity of becoming familiar with all the educational work of the state and the object and purpose of every line of this work has my approval and co operation. "As special opportunities of learning the needs and conditions of the common schools have been afforded me. I feel that my training and experience fit me for the satisfactory performance of the du ties of the state school superintendent, and with a sincere desire of serving her highest interest tn this way. I announce my candidacy for the office of state school commissioner. subject to the Democratic nomination. Yours respectfully, “W. B. MERRITT.” eightTmillions in COLD CASH AS CAPITAL NEW YORK.

ANNISTON, Ala., Jan. 30.—As the re sult of a head end collision between two freight trains at 7 o’clock this morning, one mile west of the city limits, on the Southern railway, one man was killed In stantly and five others were injured.

A New Catarrh Cure Secures National Popularity in Less Than One Year. Throughout a great nation of eighty million It Is a desperate struggle to secure even a recognition for a new article to say nothing of achieving popular favor, and yet within one year Stuart’s Catarrh Tablets, the new catarrh cure, has met with such success that today it can be found in every drug store throughout the United States and Canada. To be sure a large amount of advertising was necessary In the first Instance to bring the remedy to the attention of the public, but ev eryone familiar with the subject knows that advertising alone never made any article per manently successful. It must have In addition absolute, undeniable merit, and this the new catarrh cure certainly possesses in a marked degree. Physicians, who formerly depended upon in halers, sprays and local washes or ointments, now use Stuart’s Catarrh Tablets because, as one of the most prominent stated, these tablets contain in pleasant, convenient form all the really efficient catarrh remedies, such as red gum. blood root and similar antiseptics. They contain no eocalne nor opiate, and are given to little children with entire safety and benefit. Dr. J. J. Reitlger, of Covington, Ky., says: “I suffered from catarrh in my head and throat every fall, with stoppage of the nose and irrita tion In the throat affecting my voice and often extending to the stomach, causing catarrh of the stomach. I bought a fifty cent package of Stuart's Catarrh Tablets at my druggist's, car ried them in my pocket and used them faith fully, and the way In which they cleared my head and throat was certainly remarkable. I had no catarrh last winter and spring and con sider myself entirely free from any catarrhal trouble.” . _, Mrs. Jerome Ellison, of Wheeling, W. Vs., writes: “I suffered from catarrh nearly my whole life and last winter my two children also suffered from catarrh colds and sore throat so much they were out of school a large portion of the winter. My brother who was cured of catarrhal deafness by using Stuart's Catarrh Tablets urged me to try them so much that I did so and am truly thankful for what they have done for myself and my children. I al ways keep a box of the tablets in the house and at the first appearance of a cpid or sore throat we trip It in the bud and catarrh. Is no longer a household affliction with us.” Full sized packages of Stuart's Catarrh Tab lets are sold for fifty cents at ail druggists. Send for book on cause and cure of catarrh mailed free.

BAPTISTS IN CUBA TO STAY UNBEB HONIEIOABD DR. LANDRUM, DR. M’CONNELL AND JUDGE HILLYER ARRANG- ED MATTERS SATISFAC- TORILY. A» a result of their trip to Cuba Rev. Dr. W. W. Landrum, Rev. F C. McCon nell and Judge George L. Hillyer, th- Home Mission board of the Southern Bap tist church, will retain control of Its mag nificent church in Havana, although los ing the services of the Rev. A. J. Diaz, its former pastor. Dr. Diaz, it seems, has been of late too politically inclined to suit the mission board, who accordingly requested his re signation. This was tendered, but Dr. Diaz showed a decided disinclination to give up his church, and it was to adjust this threatened difficulty that the com mittee left Atlanta last month. Dr.Landrum came home Wednesday and reports that everything has now been sat isfactorily arranged, although he frankly deplores the loss to the church of Dr. Diaz’s services, and adds: “If he had been less a politician and more a consecrated minister of the una dulterated gospel he would have exercised an influence in Cuba not unlike that of Knox in Scotland. I regard Dr. Diaz as the ablest living Protestant preacher in Cuba and as a magnetic orator of wonder ful endowments." The Gethsemane church, of which Dr. Diaz was pastor, is the most valuable pos session of the mission board in Cuba. It was formerly a theatre, and was pur chased several years ago for a large sum. It is now considered worth fully 3100,000. Dr. Landrum expressed himself as great ly pleased with his trip. He says he found Havana thronged with visitors, finds the work of his church there very satisfactory and considers the island a wonderful field and one with a great fu ture for the church. Especially was he pleased with the native Baptists. W. S. BRANHAM FILES PETITION IN BANKRUPTCY WAYCROSS. Ga., January 31.—W. S.
